Students May
Abolish Hazing
(Tuscon Daily Citizen)
■JTNIVEftSlTY students are
reported to be debating the
voluntary abandonment of haz
ing, whereat one is constrained
to remark that the University
is “growing up.” To be ef
fective the abandonment would
have to be voluntary, with the
ban enforced largely by the
power of student opinion. It is
a matter largely concerning the
students and their faculty con
ferees and we do not want to
inject a town attitude in a
gowned conference, but it may
not be amiss to advance the re
mark that such action in our
opinion would greatly streng
then public support of the in
st it ntion.
A spirit of independence
among university students is a
thing to be, desired and culti
vated because it provides op
portunity for the free play
of individual and group respon
sibility. When a student leaves
his home and becomes a dormi
tory or fraternity house dwell
er. lie is given free rein by his
parents. With the release from
parental and home town res
traints he takes the bit in his
teeth ami the surge ma\ take
him beyond the limit, of discre
tion but the grant of indepen
deuce assumes that his training
thus far will have supplied the
requisite self.

LATEST POLITICAL DOPE
' PROM OVER THE WEEK END
By Staff Correspondent
Speaking of politics, rfo)a Stod-,
(lard wears u worried look since Bed 1
Milligan was reported as attending
the Sigma Chi formal.
We notice that Johnny Anderson
and Tom Stoddard were troth np at
the Fiji dance the other night, sit
ting at the same table and doing
some good work. Both men now
claim 100 per cent support. Funny,
j but Ron Ifnlrbs was there too, to
see that nothing happened to the
two candidates.
After election wo confidently ex
pect the most “promising” candi
date to win.
Since the Susan Campbell candi
date lined up with Johnny Ander
son, Tom Stoddard is seriously ad
vocating that the hall vote a split
ticket.
Johnny Anderson is also looking
worried. It is rumored that the Chi
Psi’s will vote this year for the
first time and for Stoddard at that.
“I think Tom Stoddard is the
best man,” says the little l’i Phi
who has a room opposite the Phi
Delt barn.
, The Fijis feel confident of rural
support, as they have promised farm
relief for the Tri-Delts.

The
WORLD
In Review
England to Vote Soon
Reparations Unsettled
Farm Relief A pproved
'- By CARL GREGORY
T> A.SEE ALL. b o a t racing, big
sweepstakes in stecplechasing,
golf, lacrosse, and such things in
whieh .Englishmen take special
pride, have partially lost their fas
cination in face of tho coming gen
eral election of members of the
British parliament. Since October
2!), 1924, the Britishers have not
voted for members to the house of
commons. For five years Prime
Minister Baldwin has been in su
preme power without facing the
vote of lack of confidence. Now,
with 1,500,000 unemployed people
in England, three parties—Conserva
tives headed by Primfc Minister
Baldwin, Liberals by ex-Prime Min
ister David Lloyd George, and La
borites by J. Ramsay MacDonald
who led the first English labor gov
ernment in 1924—will be certain to
have an interesting time.
Alfred P. Perry, of the Reuter’s
Neivs service in London, in a recent
visit on the University of Oregon
campus, said that it was a “toss-up”
as to which party Would be success
ful in the final vote. A casual sur
vey shows 420 Conservatives, 150
Laborites, 40 Liberals, and 5 Inde
pendents in the present bouse of
commons. Further analysis shows
that Lloyd George, or the “Roose
velt of Great Britain,” of the Lib
erals, is making the situation inter
esting for Bis opponents. He is
winning votes with appalling suc
cess, and it is thought by politicians
that should there be a lack of the
necessary majority, of 308 in the
favored party that a coalition of
the Laborites and Liberals will re
sult.
Conservatives, in the face of vasts
armies of unemployed, say “Better
let well enough alone.” Laborites
and Liberals base their attack on
the failure of the Baldwin govern
ment to solve the problem while the
Liberals propose a construction pro
gram that will employ 600,000 of
the unemployed. Tariff and liquor
reform have been given secondary
consideration by party leaders.
With 5.000,000 women voters added
to the ranks there will bo about 30,
000,000 voters cast their ballots in
England on May 30. And for whom
will they be voting? Not mere per
sonalities unknown to the majority
of them and made famous by trivial
newspaper publicity, but outstand
ing men in affairs of the world.
They are men widely known
throughout tho world, and may the
best man win, lie he Conservative,
Laborite, or Liberal!

Gentlemen:
Just a line to let you know wheTe i
some of your tobacco has been going
for the last ten years.
1 have been smoking Edgeworth for |
the past ten years; in fact, since I
started smoking, and it is just as good
now as it was then. Have given other
brands' a fair trial, but there is none
like Edgeworth. During that time I
have had costly pipes and some not so
costly, but 1 have decided that it is
not the pipe but what is in it that
counts.
With best w ishes for your continued
success in the manufacture of this high
grade tobaccm, 1 am,
Sincerely,

taken by directors of the hank at
the request of the Dawes plan trans
fer committee which met on April
2i! in Paris. If .such reluctance to
pay the reparations continues on
the part of the Germans there will
be many thorny obstacles placed in
the path of the Dawes plan workers.
Taken all in all, with the repara
tions protilem, the Britisli elections
coming on, the menace offered by
Europe's nationality minorities, and
increasing reports of rebelling col
onies, the point of greatest political
interest will lia within confines
of Europe for an indefinite time.
Problems of such moment undoubt
edly overshadow in importance any
thing avc have to deal with on the
North American continent.
AFTER many days of heated dis
cussion on farm relief the
house of representative's, on April
24, passed the proposed bill by a
vote of 307 To 42. Noa</ the bill will
go to the senate Avhere the deben
ture plan will be voted on and where
it avill likely meet stronger opposi
tion. President Hoover has already
signified Iris disapproval of tire de
benture because it Avould benefit
the farmer only in theory, mean an
increase of taxes, create profiteer
ing and bring American agriculture
to disaster. .Even" though the senate
did pass the relief bill Hoover Avould
veto it as it noAV stands with the
debenture. Farm relief always seems
to run into insurmountable barriers
Avhen the actual exercise instead of
theory is considered. HoAvcver, be
fore the end of the special session,
the American farmers will know
again Avhother they have been prom
ised something in vain as seems to
be the regular order of business in
the legislative hopper.
A'lAMEL caravans will no longer
be needed in the Sahara desert
if present plans to skirt the barren
waste with a subway mature. In
Paris, recently, a special committee
of colonial and engineering experts
met and discussed the feasibility of
uniting north and equatorial Africa
by underground raihvav. The trains
would ho supplied Avith copious
tanks of ico-water and electric fans
to drive RAvay depressing and trop
ical air; they would ha\-e all the
luxuries of the American coach. The
proposed line would cover a distance
of some 2,000 kilometers and would
aid the French government in col
onizing the A’ast tracts of the
French possessions in this section of
Africa. Besides, it Avould be a novel
undertaking — another conquest of
the desert the mysterious, by man.

WHY
THESE FOUR CHEAT
COMPANIES CHOSE SYHYl
FOUR of the greatest oil companies on the
Pacific Coast...Richfield,Union, Associated
and Standard, chose Ethyl only after exhaustive
laboratory tests and experiments had conclus
ively proved there was no other commercially
practical anti-knock compound.
Today, fifty leading oil companies throughout
the world add Ethyl compound to their finest
gasoline—answer to the universal demand for
a genuine anti-knock fuel for the new high com
pression motors which are the standard of more
than 68% of all our present day automobiles.
Because of the recognition from the world’s
greatest engineers, hundreds of so-called anti
knock, high-test gasolines have attempted to
imitate Ethyl and to capitalize on its popularity.
Do not be misled...remember that Ethyl made
high compression motors possible and that °
only with Ethyl can you secure true high com
pression performance.
Use Ethyl gasoline in your own car, look for the
pumps shown above...your assurance of getting
genuine Ethyl!
