Cross-Country Entries Start Practice Soon Houses Must Have Three Runners Entered Something which is attracting much attention on the campus i: cross-country running in this year’s intramural sports calendar according to a report received by the Emerald from the donut office last night. In this event each house can enter as many contestants as it wants providing that these con testants have had nine practice races before the final race is run. Each house must enter at least three racers in order to have its points count. Track practice will be held each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Hayward field. The contestants who wish to work out for this event will be furnished track shoes and other gym equipment. Russell Cutler, professor of physical education, will have com plete charge of the conditioning of the cross-country racers. In a statement last night to the Em erald Cutler said that a gym credit is given for entry in these races. The final and big cross-country race will be held just before Thanksgiving day. Anyone wish ing to sign up for these races should get in touch with the intra mural office as soon as possible. Fraternity (Continued from Page Our) opinions of several alumni and un official opinions from the national organization to the effect that membership in the council at pres ent does not benefit the house. Sigma Nus Wait The meeting climaxed two weeks of argument and discussion resulting from various interpreta tions of the legality and constitu tionality of council rulings. Fen wick said that his house was awaiting a decision from the na tional and alumni organizations before taking definite action to resign from, or to remain with, the council. Council members voiced general approval with suggestions to amend the constitution and were agreed upon the necessity of the move. Flection of two representatives from each house in place of the one representat ive system now I used was also suggested. The terms of the representatives would over-lap so that the council ' would not be wholly composed of inexperienced members at the be ginning of each year. Dean Karl .Speaks Dean Virgil D. Earl placed the research compilations used in forming the 1933 rushing rules at the disposal of the council. The present rules were under consider ation for a year and a half before being passed, the dean stated, in dicating that they were accepted only after careful consideration. Fenwick suggested that the re vised constitution be composed of two bodies, one legislative and the other judicial. He also made the suggestion that the judicial body be a permanent one. When outstanding high school journalists met on the Oregon campus November 1 for a week end conference, two men will be I lodged in each fraternity, the council decided. The men will be distributed at the discretion of President McCall, the motion also stated.

Leader Warns U.S. In Message To Students By MIRIAM EICHNER Editing students and guests of the class were charmed Friday morning by Colonel John Leader, retired British army officer and organizer of the student military movement here in 1917, a visitor on the campus, when he talked to the class informally concerning diplomatic situations exisiting in Europe and Africa. His British accented conversation was bright ened with a sparkling brand of humor, well-remembered as char acteristic of the Colonel by faculty members and alumni. “If the Fascists get the check (in Africa) within six weeks, France will be in red revolution,” said the man who surrounded Eu gene with barbed wire and trench es in 1917, startling his already alert listeners. He continued say ing that the movement would spread at once to Great Britain and warned America “look that your walls be strong.” But by means of consolation the ex-soldier remarked that he did not see how Ethiopia could possibly check Mussolini's army. The colonel gave sidelights on the Italo-Ethiopian situation, re vealing the Abyssinians as an es sentially warlike people. For hun dreds of years they have been prey ing on the surrounding countries for their slave trade, dealing large ly in captured women whom they have sold to Persia, Turkestan, Arabia and neighboring nations. The country that attempted to defend its women was crushed, Leader explained, mentioning Arussi, whose population was re duced from one and a half million people to twenty thousand. He said that neither Italy or Abys sinia really have any right to the territory. He said that the only time the members of the League of Nations igreed, except for agreeing that America should not collect war ..III!.. I debts, was on the Italians’ present guilt. The Irish colonel with the Eng lish accent finished, saying that in Ireland “we don’t know what we want, but we’re willing to die for it.” He suggested that England give Ireland to the United States so that the states might raise their own policemen.
