All advertising matter is to be sent to the Emerald Business The Debut of the American Student Union LAST night in Gerlingcr hall lounge, the as yet unofficially organized University of Oregon chapter of the American Student Union held its first meeting. For the first time there was present at a forum meeting of this kind representatives from the Cooperative house, the fraternities, the soror ities, independent, and dormitory students. * * * Now there is every reason to believe that this organization is the answer to a long felt need for a cosmopolitan discussion group of Oregon stu dents. There is no reason why this organization k cannot become the focal point for student opinion - in local, national, and international affairs. And J there is no reason why the meetings of this or ganization. IF SUPPORTED BY THE STUDENT • . BODY, should not furnish release and inspiration for the spirited student discussions that are vit . ally necessary to the morale and understanding "of students who would establish reasoned con victions on matters of public interest. Hi * * The American Student Union has a program of five main points. There are no restrictions placed on the local chapter, whereby it is obliged to accept the five main points of the national organization. In other words there is every opportunity for establishing an organization on the campus whose resolutions, constitution, and rules of pro cedure represent true campus opinion. Much of the success of the organization de pends on whether or not il exerts pressure on the public for adoption of resolutions, through direct tie-up with the national organization, or remains an independent chapter, concurring in part or in name only with the program of the national chapter. At any rate the organization has promise. As it now stands with reference to the Oregon campus, it is liberal but not radical. # * # The support of the entire campus may direct it into productive channels wherein student dis cussion is dominant. In the event the organization is forced to retain restricted membership, em phasis will fall on “pressure” activities. The Emerald, however, believes that the gen eral acceptance of the American Student Union on this campus will be determined by the temper and rationality of tiro group’s fundamental prin cipals, and hopes that the organization takes cognizance of this fact in its early stages of development. A German Student's IS! Germany IS! Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of articles by a student who has spent 15 years in Germany, part of which was under the Hitler regime, on subjects dealing pri marily with Nazi student life. These articles will appear periodically in the Emerald. fTMlE foreigner across the seas Is to most of -*■ us a strange, remote person. National pride and enthusiasm do not usually promote inter national friendship, and, paradoxical as it may seem, wars have given us most favorable oppor tunities to meet and appreciate foreigners, li took the World War to reveal to the Germans tkk«t a 1 i cnclmmn could make jUw>t Uo good a friend as an Englishman and it gave the Germans the pleasure of getting acquainted with fhe Americans. We made the discovery that Hein rich is just as likeable a fellow as is Jacques; and Gretchen is as sweet as little Jeanne. All American tourists return from Germany with en thusiastic exclamations—let us too, then, get better acquainted with the Germans and see what sort of people they are. First, the young people. The Hitler regime has created a great change in the life of most young men and women. Voluntarily or involuntarily, they are closely linked up with the policies of the government. Day and night, they are conscious of the fact that Hitler rules; constantly they are reminded of their duties, their ideals, their beliefs. The government, the country, are the vital issues of the day; everything else is secondary. A good deal of the time of every boy is taken up with National-Socialistic activities. While German boys spend their spare time en gaging in sports as we do in America; and they do a good deal of discussing, drinking and dancing—but by far the most time is devoted to activities in the various more or less militaristic groups. The most important of these is the S. A. (Storm Troopers), a huge organization embrac ing almost the entire male youth. Practices are two or three nights a week and three out of four Sundays. Uniforms and equipment are furnished by each member himself, and he also has the privilege of paying monthly membership dues. The training consists of military practice, long marches and lessons in National-Socialism, and the fun consists of sport activities and drinking. The boys (from 18 to 45 years of age) leave their homes after supper, clad in handsome uni forms—this appeals to the boys as much as to the girls —and report to their local commander. There will be plenty of saluting, clicking of heels, thunderous shouting of commands, and plenty of rigid exercise. This generally lasts till 11 o’clock, and by this time they are usually ready for a few steins of beer. They will rave till one o’clock, roaring army songs, and passing around spicy jokes. It’s a man’s life! Other Editors’ Opinions Protection of Civil Liberties T OCALLY and nationally the issue of civil liberties is at its bitterest. Citing “a danger jus growth of fascist metho'ds by big business patriots” the Methodist Federaton for Social Ser vice has summarized the national situation in their recent report. Locally the issue is being raised in connection with violence at the local relief office. It’s bound to be, we suppose, that strong con victions will lead some people to resort to the methods characteristic of fascism. Especially likely is it when some people’s opinions include a questioning of the entire social or the entire business structure. The prevalent issue of the constitution and the supreme court is also dragged in when we seek protection for the rights of freedom. Protection of that necessity, freedom, cannot rest on machinery alone. The supreme court can not be expected to deviate far from popular opinion if that public opinion is excited and volatile. Indeed, it has shown the same willing ness to change with opinion as individuals do. But it does change more slowly. But those who have hopes that the supreme court, through aristocratic aloofness from public opinion, will protect civil liberties forget that the supreme court has definite duties to protect property too. It is in this double duty that the greatest difficult arises. In cases of civil liberties (or in cases of pro gressive legislation) the court must protect both interests, that is if they are to follow their tradi tional interpretation of their duties. They arc given a choice, then, and are not exercising given a choice, then, and are not exercising a mere technical duty in determining the rights of men. They are a political group making a polit ical choice. As a matter of politics then, we must decide if we want to mix this aloof, irresponsible ability witli popular democratic govenment in the rule of tlie country. That is the issue. Civil liberties and progressive legislation: witli whom should their fate rest ?—Wisconsin Cardinal. Time’ Style Text Books? I> V decrying the verbosity of tire average too academic textbook and claiming that if the volumes were boiled down and written in Time magizine's terse, interesting style they would be read and comprehended more thoroughly by more Stanford students, Mr. Eisenbaeh brings up an interesting point in Bull Session. Mr. Eisenbaeh's assertions are painfully true. Some of the more brilliant professors are pos sibly over-conscious of their reputations as in ternational authorities in their field. This brings on a double complication they use too many words to explain technical details that make the topic “complete comprehensive and largely incomprehensible"; moreover, they tend to “shy away" from committing themselves on matters of contemporary concern, “until they are able to make a thorough study of the matter.” And yet they must realize that students are entirely ignorant of current affairs. The excuse: by the time studies and extra-curricular activities are disposed of. there is no further time nor desire for critical reading of newspapers, period icals. and other literature that might give them an understanding of present national and inter national problems. This excuse lias its points, but it is not com plete justification, when it is considered that these same students, some this year, and nearly all of them within four years, will make their way into the unfamiliar outside world, headed for the "leadership of tomorrow.” The situation is far too complicated to be righted merely by makjpg a knowledge of con temporary affairs compulsory, or by telling 3S00 students that they "ought to° take an interest iu the outside. The Marsh of Time ❖ By Bill Marsh Nights as cold as last night was are the only drawbacks I see to be ing a bachelor. I had to go to bed with a gallon full of scalding water to keep from freezing. And then, on the other hand, you don’t have to support a jug of hot water, whereas a wife ... ah yes. It’s sex of one and half a dozen of the other. Devil’s Island California may have a “Devil’s island.” Owners of Santa Cruz is land, 30 miles off the southern Cal ifornia coast, are trying to dispose of it to the state for use as a penal colony. They declare it absolutely escape proof. Citizens of the United States own more automobiles than citizens of any other nation. There is one mo tor vehicle for every five persons in the United States. Canada is next with one car for every eight per sons. Then: France, one car for every 22 persons; England, one for every 23; Germany, one vehicle for 68 pop ulation (this doesn’t include arm ored cars); and finally, Italy, with one car for every 109 persons. Benito Mussolini: “You needn’t say I am a great man. It’s enough to be a man. Yes, to be a man in these days is a great thing.” Depends on what kind of a man you are, Moose, old boy. If you hap pen to be a man who has to lie in a trench and let bullets whistle past about half an inch from the top of your skull it might be a damn sight retter to be a pelican on Klamath ake or something. t * * Latest by Mae West: Somehow she received a crushing embrace in the powerful arms of Victor Mc Laglen.

He was unable to accept any movie offers. The “prince” was a guest in the court of a local judge, who arranged a formal reception for him on charg es of vagrancy. “I’m not guilty, your honor,” his highness pleaded, “but if it will help any I’ll plead guilty. You sec, I’m in a hurry to get back to my wives.” The “prince,” for the next 30 days, is going to be a guest of Los Angeles county. He has taken a suite of rooms at the Calaboose Arms.

Today's Brief Biography Lawrence (Oscar) Wagner, ’33 Oscar Wagner is arranger for Glen Gray’s Casa Lama orchestra, considered by most musicians the foremost dance organization of the world. In addition to this work, he also writes stock arrangements which are played by nearly every orchestra in the country. After majoring in music at the University and playing solo cornet with the University symphony, Wagner joined Johnny Robinson's Varsity Vagabonds (no longer to gether), then being formed on the Oregon campus, and exercised nis arranging and trumpet playing abil ity up and down the coast for near ly four years in that organization. Leaving Robinson for New York only two years ago, Oscar formed a partnership with H. Eugene Gif ford, Casa Luma arranger and com poser of the famous Casa Loma “jazz" series. When Gifford was forced to quit as a result of a ner vous breakdown last November Wagner took over the position. i no nr single “Cling- to Me,” "Alone at a Ta ble for Two,” and "It's Been so Bong" are among the new numbers to be played in the smart style of Richard Himber's Champions to night at 9. * * * Edward Arnold, noted character actor, will preview scenes from his forthcoming picture, " S u 11 c r’s Gold." as Dick Powell's guest dur ing the Hollywood hotel program tonight.

Bryant to Lecture (Continued from page one) serious remarks. He travels rapid ly from the seriousness of the com munistic Russian government to how he once subdued a wild-eyed be-whiskered Red, who seemed in tent upon bombing his ship. United States, says the navy man, cannot hope to play a lone hand in the political affairs of the world. In regard to the present situation with Italy, Mr. Bryant strongly believes that the U. S. should support sanc tions, in order to maintain Euro pean peace. War Means Destruction War between two important Eu ropean countries, would mean de struction of the European set-up with communism as a probable re sult. If Europe falls by the way side, United States would be left holding- the bag, so to speak, with revolution or communism as a pos sible and probable result. The United States has plenty to support its entire population, but a cut-off of half its foreign trade would produce pandemonium. The only thing to relieve a situation like this would be social-democracy, or state control of the resources. Under this control the United States could exist alone, but Mr. Bryant does nob believe that the American people are capable of ac cepting such a form of government. The “die-hards” would attempt to save their present form of govern ment and in turn would lose all. "The situation,” he explained, “is a matter of losing some of your money now, or your head later.” Physically active Although Mr. Bryant has been retired for seven years, he has the physique of an active man. Sixteen years of service leave him with a bronzed complexion of the seaman, and a trimmer figure than many younger men. Lieutenant-Commander Bryant dined last night at the Delta Upsilon fraternity. He was accompanied by Paul S. Elliott, of Reed college, a member of the Institute of Inter national Relations, who is visiting Eugene with the retired naval offi cer.

Small Change Edited by Mildred Blackburne Chinese Books Purchased By Colorado A Chinese library has been pur chased for the University of Colo rado library with funds furnished by the Rockefeller foundation. The library included 2500 volumes in 285 cases especially made in China for library use. The books were purchased from two book dealers in Pieping, and the cost including the freight and postage was $351.38, or $1,178.44 in Pieping cur rency. The library includes a complete set of 24 dynastic histories begin ning with 100 B.C. It also includes diplomatic correspondence with western countries from 1836 to 1911. School to Resume Football Operations From the University of Michigan comes this word: That the first step towards a resumption of football relationships between the Univer sity of Michigan and the Univer sity of Notre Dame rests with the authorities of the former school was made clear in interviews with the Reverend Father John H. O’Donnell, chairman of the faculty board in control of athletics at Notre Dame, and Elmer F. Layden, the school’s director of athletics. Typical Hand Contest Started by Annual To determine hands “most typical of present day college men and women” is the purpose of the representative hands contest to be held this week under the sponsor ship of the Waiilatpu, Whitman college annual. Hands of the winners will be featured in the year book in some manner not yet revealed. Colorado Increases Student enrollment at the Uni versity of Calorado gained 4.42 per cent over the number of students enrolled fall term. The assistant registrar announced that 32X1 stu dents were registered. Six of the nine colleges and schools of the University show increases over last year. New President Chosen Students of Washington State college now have a new president. He is Father Leo J. Robinson. The new president has been at the Spo kane institution for 13 years. Garber Plays at Ball Jan Garber and his radio, stage, and recording orchestra was signed to play for the 1936 junior ball on February 11 by the University of Minnesota. Deans at Whitman Outlaw Cheating Whitman editors say: The hoard of deans has announced that all cases of dishonesty in the coming final exams will' be made public. The decision of the board, together with the penalty inflicted, will be made known to the student body. This measure will undoubtedly be much more effective than the nice sounding but rather impractical honor system. Although cheating will still go on, it will no longer be the tolerated sport it is now. Henceforth it is outlawed. The threat of exposure to their fellow students will make a lot of would be cheaters hesitate before they take the leap. Somehow there is a world of difference between cheat ing and having your fellow students know that you do it, and cheating and having it publicly announced to the student body. We have all seen petty instances of cheating in final exams—a miniature pony hidden inside a handkerchief, a few key formulas written on the palm of a hand, not to mention notes passed to supposedly bright students be seeching aid, or the very common method of just plain looking at one’s neighbor’s paper. What gets us is not that the peo ple who cheat get higher grades than they deserve, but that the practice of grading on the curve makes those who are honest get lower grades than they merit. It is no wonder that people who have never thought of cheating before, seriously consider it after they have seen how simple it is. After all, cheating does not make them lose caste with their fellow students and there has heretofore been no danger of publication. Those students who cheat habit ually in finals never seem to realize that if they spent the time in study ing that they spend in thinking up bigger and better ways to cheat, they could pass their exams with as good or better grades than they would otherwise. It looks as though cheating were on the way out at Whitman, and we are willing to help it on its way. Colorado university professors refuse to be blamed for cheating in finals, and" have asked that stu dents remember that the curtail ment of cheating must be a co operative affair. Dean Van Ek of the arts and science college there said that he believed professors do not attend the finals as policemen. He asked for future student sentiment against such action, since students have been found to defeat every rule devised to keep them from cheating. Dean Elmore Petersen of the school of business said, “Examina tions in a course are much more valuable when all possible memory work is eliminated from prepara tion of the final.” Nebraskans Start Safety Campaign Cooperating with state and na tional authorities in a safety move ment, the Daily Nebraskan ia launching a campaign to prevent automobile accidents and maintain safe conditions on the highways. Emphasizing careful driving on the part of students who use cars while attending school, the Nebras kan asks drivers to sign safe-driv ing pledges which are being pre pared for distribution. Students and faculty alike are asked to cooperate in this drive so that interest in accident pre vention may be built up, the paper says. Automobile windshield stick ers will be given drives signing the pledge. The pledge includes: dive at moderate speed on own side of road; do not pass cars on curves or hills; stop at stop signs and traffic lights; be watchful for pe destrians; give hand signals pro perly; be fair to other drivers and refrain from reckless driving. Prison Experiment To Begin in Texas Dr. W. E. Gettys, director of the bureau of research in the social sciences at the University of Texas, will begin an experiment in the Texas prison system March 1 in handling convicts which may not only bring rehabilitation of many of the men behind the walls, but also a reduction in the per capita expense of running the system.
