Phone, Manager: Office, Local 214; residence, 2800._ Revolutionary But Sound THERE is every reason to believe that early in the next school year the student parliament will take the necessary step to make it the legislative body of the A. S. U. O. And this step in constitutional revision can not come too soon. The parliament has demonstrated beyond a question, in the short period of its existence, that it is capable of taking its part in student government. The parliament does not lack for lead ers, and but little more organization will place it in a position to discuss and pass on the most delicate matters of policy. It has shown that there is nothing to fear from “scatterbrain" legisla tion. The members individually have shown themselves to be intelligent and aware of the problems to be met. Once the administration has been convinced that the parlia ment has no desire to step in and run the graduate manager’s office, and other business that had best remain in present hands, there should be no opposition from that quarter. The parliament is not asking for rights of government that the students as a whole do not have now. All it asks is that the nature of govern ment be changed in such a degree that a responsible parlia mentary system may grow up. There is nothing to be lost by the administration, the gradu ate manager, or the students if the system of government is revised. But there is much to gain through the interest that will be aroused among the students in the conducting of their own affairs in a perfectly logical manner. Theory inlPractice LAST night s Register-Guard was the work of the upperclass journalism students in the University. The practical labora tory instruction which reporting and copy reading students have been getting this year may be credited with the improvement in news coverage made over past years by the crew yesterday. Professional training is instruction in practice as well as in theory. That is why the national association of newspaper edi tors rates the Oregon school of journalism as one of the three best in the country. That is why the editors of Oregon rallied to the support of Dean Allen’s school in its recent difficulties. That is why Oregon journalism students are universally success ful. Producing a paper that contains all the news is a huge task. If the average American daily newspaper were printed in book form, you would receive a volume of 800 to 1,000 pages every morning or evening. And you would shudder at the prospect of having to gather all the facts, names, figures, and technical de tails that appear in it. There are 200 people in the University school of journalism learning how to do that work for you. Youi enlightenment, your entertainment, your education in public af fairs is their life work. They are learning their lessons well. Stacked against the work of men many years in the profession, the students’ edition shows the value of their training, reflects the standards and capacities of the University’s high-ranking school of journalism. Japan Challenges Fascism \ NEW ministry is in the process of formation itt Japan. At the advice of Prince Saionji, Emperor I-lirohito has asked Admiral Makoto Saito non partisan liberal and one-time gover nor of Korea, to try to form a national emergency cabinet. At first, after the assassination of Suyoshi Intikai, it was supposed that Kisaburo Suzuki, who succeeded Inukai as loader of the Seiyukai (war) party, would take over the reins of gov ernment, as the Seiyukai majority in the diet was overwhelming. But, having known for many months of the plots to attempt the overthrow of constitutional government and to force a fascist dictatorship upon Japan, Prince Saionji and tl. 1. H. Hirohlto determined to resist the attempts, to call the bluff of the militar ists, and to hope for the success of stfch tactics as have carried Germany and England through the storm. The first man to receive au invitation into the new cabinet was cx-Premier Watasuki, who headed the Jdtnseitu (peace) ministry until its removal last December. Thus Admiral Saito is proving his sincerity to save Japan. How Minseito and Sei yukai members will agree on the measures of finance lot the Manchurian expeditionary forces will provide interesting news for the weeks to come. The Akron, queen of the skies, came and went while the Uni versity dreamed its dreams. Even the sirens disturbed u. net We re getting accustomed to thece election campaign rallies. By V. H. Hal Last week the University Co-op fell in line with the ever-popular method of stock reduction and an nounced a sale. Like other stores, this occasional price-chopping is essential for the removal of certain goods that have been tied up on the shelves. The sluggish turnover of some of the Co-op’s commodities i has pulled its business into depths | never before experienced. The store has been doing proportionately less business than ever before, in fact, it has been losing money all this year if a casual statement by Mar ion McClain may be quoted here. I have noticed, in many cases, a certain disinclination on the part of students to purchase their sup plies at the Co-op when the oppor tunity to buy elsewhere seems at all attractive. This is difficult to explain. I think it may be partial ly answered by considering the oc casional disappointment of students who fail to find the Co-op prices materially lower than those of oth er merchants. The fact that the store is cooperative and, by being cooperative, should undersell the independent organization is enough to give some v/eight to this stu dent apathy. All this sounds as if the Univer sity Co-op overcharges, thereby cutting its own throat, and cor rupting its own business. No store that runs so close the margin and even in the red part of the time can be accused of this. Many of its supplies are sold at lower prices. The University Co-op is a mem ber of the College Book Store asso ciation which means that most of its office supplies are purchased by this coast-wide organization. Here is one commodity which may be sold at reduced prices without fear of an inferior quality or the dona tion for the unethical practice of price-cuttinf. The paper is made at Hoquiam, Washington, with the CBS water mark and manufac tured to suit the requirements of college trade. Marion McClain is president of this association. The tie-up with the National College Book Store association lies in the electiop of Mr. McClain to vice presidency. He refuses to accept any personal honor in his national [office, declaring that it is only cus j tomary that the coast president be - an officer in the national organiza I tion. — Ellis Takes Preliminary Master’s Examination Paul Ellis, graduate student in economics, took his preliminary oral examination yesterday after noon, from 3 to 5, to fulfill one of the requirements for a master’s de gree from the University. Those who gave the examination are the six members of the econom ic staff: Dr. James Gilbert, head of the department, Dr. Victor P. Mor ris, Dr. Calvin Crumbaker, Dr. John R. Mez, Dr. Elmer Pendell, and Dr. Louis Wood. CAMPUS ♦ ♦ ALENDAR Women’s Athletic association will have a mass meeting in the league room of Gcrlinger hall at 4 p. m.

Edited By Roy Sheedy LITERARY SIGNPOST MANHATTAN FANTASY The Square Root of Valentine. By Barry Fleming. W. W. Norton & Co. Valentine is a young bond sales man, whose only fault is that he is seriously addicted to spring fever each year, the fever lasting clear through the summer, until Septem ber 1, to be exact. To learn just what causes all these queer noises outside in the early morning, such as the clinking of glass and the stomping on streets, Valentine I leaves his wife and bed at 3 a. m. one Sunday morning to investigate. From then until that evening he meets all kinds of strange adven tures and people, one gentleman having the ability to manufacture real living people out of powdered oyster shells and electricity. This is a bewildering fantasy concerning events that could not happen, not, at least, unless we read between the lines and realize that they might in a figurative sense. One is drugged by the fan tastic method of story-telling which Mr. Fleming uses. A time comes when, like reading Lewis Carroll’s lassie, one feels that he must touch solid ground, find something that is real and not ethereal. Final ly we discover it in the front of the book, "PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1932.” And with that we heave a sigh of relief, climb into the boat, and go tipping off on the waves of fancy again. Just what would happen if the world suddenly decided to obey two or three of the Ten Command ments? "Do not steal,” for exam ple. Immediately, explains Flem [ ing, all the thieves in the world | would be out of jobs, all the police, half of the banks, safe manufac turers, lawyers, judges, crime sur veyors, and hosts of others. This is an engaging book that will please anyone who would like a re lief from realism. —R.S. * * * The best sellers for the past months throughout the country have been the following.
