^Student Vote
May Be Held
By Recheck
Large Discrepancy Noted
In Addresses Given
Clerk and Census
Koke Says Not Definite
Decision Yet Made
No further action had beer
taken by authorities up to a late
hour yesterday afternoon relative
to discrepancies between perma
nent addresses given by students
’when registering for voting in the
city of Eugene municipal elections
and the permanent addresses given
to the federal census takers.
However, according to J. H.
Koke, district census supervisor, a
recheck may be made later of
those houses with whose figures
he is dissatisfied, but probably not
for some time because of the pres
sure of work in the office.
30 Dafs Left
Such a recount, if made after
election time, May 16, will not
save the students from a chal
lenge of their vote. He still has
30 days in which to make this
check.
According to County Clerk W.
B. Dillard yesterday afternoon, no
action will be taken by him at the
^present time, as his office is not
concerned with the matter.
“However,” he said, “if anyone
wishes to check back on the rec
ords of my office that is his (the
student's) funeral. I haven’t any
thing to do with it.”
Many Changes Noted
When and if a recheck is made,
according to Mr. Koke, he will re
quire all the members of the
houses to make out individual cen
sus slips showing from which place
each individual desires to be reg
istered.
Wednesday afternoon Mr. Koke
and Mr. Dillard released figures
showing that a large percentage
of students in the fraternities in
precinct 22 had registered in Eu
gene for the municipal elections,
giving the fraternity houses as
their permanent residences. In di
rect contrast to this, the census
figures show an overwhelming
number of students living in these
* same fraternities as giving their
permanent addresses elsewhere
than Eugene.

Although tomorrow has been
set as the last day for seniors to

half of them have turned in their

McClain, manager of the Co-op,
where orders are being placed.
Mr. McClain urges that all sen

ately, in order that the Co-op may
order what equipment is necessary
to supply the class for commence

The rental for caps and gowns
is $2.50; commencement invita

Deferred Pledging Hypocritical9
High Fraternity'jfiroup Charges
Underhand Methods Used
By Greeks’ Indictment
Against Late System
Editor’s Note: This is the
sixth of a series of articles giv
ing both arguments for and
against deferred pledging in or
der to give some knowledge of
the way the system might work
if installed at the University of
Oregon.
* * *
By RALPH DAVID
At the interfraternity confer
ence held in New York City in
November, 1929, a committee that
had been appointed the year pre
vious to make an exhaustive stu
; dy of deferred pledging turned in
! its complete report with conclu
: sions and recommendations. The
report was unfavorable to deferred
pledging.
In the report the committee
submitted the following conclu
i sions: “A survey of the reasons
advanced for deferred pledging
shows that they are reducible to
just two: (1) to give the student
an opportunity to know the fra
ternities; (2) to give the frater
nities an opportunity to know the
student.
“Yet the peculiar effect of de
ferred pledging is to produce the
OPPOSITE result. Elaborate rules
for non-intercourse are laid down,
and severe penalties for violation
are provided. This system of non
intercourse extends anywhere
from three weeks to more than a
year.
Fraternity in Foreground
“The almost universal com
plaint against deferred pledging is
I
that it keeps the student's mind
centered on "making" a fraternity
instead of getting down to business
of study. Those colleges seem best
satisfied which get rushing out of
the way BEFORE the opening of
college or during the first week.
That mistakes are made on the
part of both man and fraternity is
admitted, but the settled state of
the student body outweighs this
disadvantage.
“Recommendations: Com m o n
sense dictates that the only way
for a student to learn the frater
nities and the fraternities the stu
dent. is to throw them together
frequently. What is required is
not an elaborate scheme of non
intercourse with a long term of de
ferred pledging, but a carefully
planned system of intercourse, on
honor, which shall get the parties
acquainted in the shortest possi
ble time.”
Skullduggery Rampant
It has been found that where
there is deferred pledging there is
often hypocrisy, secret pledging,
and solemn agreement. The temp
tation for the fraternities to trans
gress the rules laid down, and to
secretly pledge some of the
“prize" freshmen, is too great to
resist. Even when a fraternity is
caught breaking a rule the detec
tor often refuses to lodge a com
plaint for fear that a counter
charge may be launched.
With this secret promising tak
ing place and some freshmen car
rying pledge pins in their pockets
until the pledging day, there re
sults between fraternities an in
tensified rivalry and ill-feeling. At
the same time, the secret rushing
tends to have an ill effect on the
scholarship of both the old and
the new student.

McDonald — “High So c i e t y
Blues.”
Rex—“Trailing Trouble.”
State—“Young Nowheres.”
Colonial—“The Virginian.”
Heilig—“Not So Dumb.”
Movies a In Carte
Hoot Gibson gives his old time
western fans a new thrill in
“Trailing Trouble," opening today
at the Rex theatre. As if riding
and fighting were not enough to
keep a cowboy busy, he throws in
a few airplane thrills for good
! measure, including a spectacular
j parachute jump that is quite
breath taking.
“The Virginian,” with Mary
Brian and Richard Arlen, is an
American classic of pioneer days
botind to thrill student’s abnormal
psychology. It will keep tlvm
guessing trying to diagnose Wal
ter Huston as the very convinc
ing- mad man.
“Young Nowheres” at the State i
I is a typical Barthelmcss picture. I
Marion Nixon is a very good
femme for pathetic Dick.
“High Society Blues,” and “Not
So Dumb” are of course, major
attractions at the McDonald and
Heilig respectively.
Co-eds still blush—believe it or
not, as Ripley might say. Any
way, that is the confessioft of wo
men1 at Boston university.
