Bruening’s Sun Brightens Editor’s note: Appearing each day in this column will be an editorial hy one of the candidates who will appear before the publications committee for consideration as editor of the 1981-82 Emerald. The candidates are not to be judged by this particular example of editorial writing. This series is merely a presentation of messages from prospective editors. Today’s editorial is written by Merlin lllais. rinHE Fascist movement in Germany, after having been dealt a severe blow last week, has shown further signs of disin tegration. Some days ago Chancellor Heinrich Bruening per suaded President Hindenburg to suspend the personal liberty rights granted by the German constitution, and to take over for the government the power to “di .perse any meeting, censor any newspaper or stop any public utterance which it chooses to term seditious.” The Bruening sun shines with greater brilliance with the re turn to work of about two hundred thousand of Germany’s un employed. Although the figure of workmen without jobs still remains at 1,700,000 more than that of a year ago, the turn upward sounds a new note for 1931 in Europe's economic situa tion. Bruening's position has become even firmer with his invi tation to London, for Germany in her present plight welcomes with fervor any international recognition she is able to win. Internal dissension has also threatened the Hitler organiza tion. There are still many of the Fascist old guard who howl for action. Two days ago Adolf Hitler announced the exclusion from his party of 900 members in Berlin. He now cautions his party members to avoid violence or illegality, and to refrain from breaking any of Bruening's new emergency decrees. If this attitude is compared with that which brought on the Jan uary riots against the cinefna, “All Quiet on the Western Front,” the marked slowing up of Hitler’s forces is apparent. Chancellor Bruening seems to be gathering the strength which assures for his cabinet a position which will mean progress for Germany. Hoover and the Mill-Race \ ND now comes the mill-race into the picture. For the mill ^ race is under government control. A special bureau established at the nation’s capital by a metropolitan newspaper reports, substantially, that the Univer sity’s prized possession is henceforth to be owned and charted anti measured and directed by President Hoover and his fellows. Does not the report say that it is the decision of the supreme court of the land? Does it not say that the court's decision is all streams flowing into navigable rivers are under the jurisdic tion of the United States government? And does not the mill race flow into the navigable Willamette? Not the best of the barristers at the law school could find a loophole. So it may come that the mill-race will be set aside as a reservation all of itself. Its Republican waters will flow gently under the bridges and swirl in eddies in the cozy tying-up place under the tree. Not the deans of men or women will ban riding the treacherous rapids at the portage, but a cabinet member. There may be even a bulletin on the matter of canoeing. Asserting “people want to be fooled" and that for 11 years he had done just that, Nino Pecararo, “mystic,” whom the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle admitted won him over to spiritualism, declared recently his seances were “all a fake.” We must admit man still has some of the propensities that made the painted medicine man so popular in the old days. And some still love to play the medicine man. A heavy metal ball, swinging at the end of til) feet of piano wire, has been installed in Dearly to prove the rotation of the earth. If the profs can't convince the dumb frosh on paper, they are now prepared to stun them into belief. It is not traditional for a saint to go about admitting he is a saint., else lie won’t be called a saint. Saint Uuiulhi. of India, recently ran true to form when he admonished his followers not to call him a saint, because lie is “just common dust." Edna St. Vincent Millay recently said she was sorry she ever wrote the quatrain about burning the caudle at both ends, be cause she never goes anywhere without having it quoted to her. The question still rages, despite doughnut day’s passing, whether it is “dunk" or “gedunk." And it is all beside the point. There was go coffee. We wonder just who recognized whom in Julia Duigcss' poem in Old Oregon about the voices . . . voices. Who s running ? 0 oR'zO/y » Steps Toward THE UNIVERSITY BEYOND In many of the colleges of the United States, especially the older schools, a system is in use whereby Greek letter organiza tions defer pledging of the in coming freshmen for one term or longer. Proponents of the de ferred pledging system believe that it tends to eliminate mis takes on the part of the fresh man and the fraternity. Last year a poll conducted by the Emerald found that frater nity men and women at Oregon were very much opposed to the plan being adopted at this school. They gave as reasons that deferred pledging would . work a financial hardship on the living organizations, and that the freshman receives the great est help from his fraternity in his first terms of school. Strangely enough, the survey conducted along with the poll 1 found that at schools where de ferred pledging was used fra ternities were heartily in favor of the plan. At the same time, j however, when the system is newly adopted it usually meets with the opposition of the Greek letter groups. At the present time, dormitory facilities at the University are such that it would be impossible i to handle all the freshmen with out the aid of the fraternities. But the time may come when added dormitory units will make it possible for the administra tion to adopt the deferred pledg ing system. When the time does come, Oregon groups should not offer blind opposition to the change for there are advantages to the system that can easily be seen. To give the bewildered freshman a chance to orient himself and look over all the fraternities is only fair. At the same time, fraternities may find that there will be less necessity for releas ing pledges that do not fit into the group. * * & * * * * # # * * Parlez vous Francais?

Jones, photogra pher, the Arcady Press, Beaver En graving company, and Sawyer Commercial Studios. on their first field trip out in the wilds of Springfield or thereabouts. In order to aid the inexperienced we are printing explicit directions to cover such ordeals. 1. Go fully protected wearing something substantial in the line of clothing. (A suit of armor capped with a diver’s helmet is suggested as ideal.) 2. Take along a suitcase, pref erably one whose straps are busted and which will keep falling open at 7-minute intervals. In the suit case include: 14 yards mosquito netting; some rattlesnake poison antidote; an extra handkerchief; a camera; two books entitled, “How To Find Your Way Out of j the Woods When Lost” and “But- j terflies of the Pacific Coast;” 4 bananas; a package of Life-Savers; an old pair of grandfather’s binocu lars with the adjustment broken; a paper bag for specimens; and an umbrella (it will be raining like nobuddy’s bizniss.) 3. Offer your seat in the bus to a fair young lady with a pair of tight boots on and then fall over on the floor every time the bus goes around the corner. It helps to create an impression. 4. On arrival, jump out of the bus and yell, “Ain’t nature just too grand,” or some other appropriate phrase. The professor will imme diately put down a "1” for you. Next offer to carry the heaviest girl in the party across every mud puddle (—or drop her into the middle of one and be independent the rest of the trip.) 5. Crawl over some farmer’s back fence and get his pet bull to chase you. This always sends the crowd into gales of laughter, es pecially if you can't get over the fence again in time. 6. Everyone, by this time, will be roaming through the woods in pairs, but you just stick close to the lecturer and take notes on ev erything he says, especially if he falls down and skins his knee! Many an enterprising student has added zest to his notes in this man ner. 7. After about four or five hours every one will be tired and ready to go back to the campus. It is perfect form to be one of the two who are missing when the names are read off. If the girl doesn’t come from Tillamook or Moro it is safe to ask her to go to the Frosh Glee with you. Now it is time for the two of you to wander back and answer “Present.” 8. The journey home no one will say a word except the fat girl whom all the boys had to carry up hill. She will chatter most of the way about what a glorious time she had. This is th ■ moment for the nearest one to brain her with a convenient slab of paving stone. 9. Of course, the really wisest thing to do, after all, is to miss the bus when it leaves in the morning and not go at all! More power to you. * * “Will you sign my petition for I editor of the Emerald?” and other popular phrases around the cam pus. Which brings to mind that the Frosh Glee comes off tonight. And with it, off conies the frosh lids for the evening, (what’s left of ’em.) Thorps something a little heart touching, a bit of pathos, in the realization that all the upper classmen have done all year is hack the freshman for this and that and the other, and now the innocent (not so much by this time) young things spends weeks making blossoms for them to dance under. * * * WE’LL SAY THAT THE FRESHMEN ARE DARN LUCKY IF THEY HAVE ANY GLEE FOUR FREE DELIVERIES DAILY Convenience For The Busy House Manager When you have late orders . . . an addition to the evening menu . . . call on Parker's and get a prompt delivery.
