Most people who remember the
undergraduate Wen Willkie think
of tall, husky boy, invariably clao
in a brilliant red sweater, who
cheWed tobacco to show how tough
he was. He was widely considered
radical.
Actually young WILKES radical
ism boiled down to a great interest
in socialism of the Jack London
variety Including the abolition OF
all inheritances) great respect
for trust-buSting Teddy Roosevelt;
and a worship of Fighting Bob
( La Toilette.
La Toilette liberalism meant
fighting a system under which Big
Business poured money into politi-
cal machines to elect men who
would do its bidding. Much of Will
kie's fight with the present admin
iStration is based on his hatred of
this kind of system.
In the present situation Willkie
sees Big Government doing exactly
what Big Business did in the sys-
TENS which La Toilette found SO
insidious.
Though usually at odds with the
soft shoe" group at Indiana, Will
kie was very much of a campus
leader. For the major part of his
undergraduate years he led the
fight on the fraternities because OF
their snobbishness. He eventually
resigned himself to the existing
system and joined elegant Beta
Theta Pi.
Trained as Speaker i'm College
His powers as an orator were
vastly enhanced as an undergrad
uate, and his brilliance as a de-
batter and speaker earned him the
position of senior orator for his
class Q9l0. His family dinner table
had stood him in good stead.
During his college and law school
summers, Wen worked as a jack
of ali trades throughout the west.
Money was a secondary object to
travel and experience.
He worked variously as a dish
washer short order cook, harvester,
dresser of Oil tools, vegetable picker,
and even as barker for a tent
hotel in a rush town in Colorado.
His work took him into nearly
every state in the west.
