Bryant, U. S. navy retired, pro vided a stimulating experience for intellectually curious University students, and an experience that will be remembered here for a long time. Little indoctrinated, always substantial and scientific in his approach, Bryant, although definitely left of center in his thinking, held the audience not by brilliance and color of speech, nor sensationalism of ideas. But rather his listen ers were acutely aware of the surging under cur rent of common sense, and the steady flow of facts, collected and presented with admirable clearness—devoid of the desperate, yet melan choly tone of many commentators on today’s international situation. “The peace of the future depends on whether or not the conservatives "evolute’’ faster than the radicals “revolute.” Bryant is a plain man. Extremism is objectionable to hint, lit1 sees no immediate possibility for the complete abolition of war, nor does lit1 see the wisdom ot conceiving human beings as organisms that may tie arbitrarily purged of the most consistent and powerful of human motive*—Hie survival of the fittest. To Bryant the abolition of war depends upon removing flic cause for war. Most everyone agrees to this. But few have the j courage, or insight, or tolerance to proclaim for Americans internationalism that demands sacrifice, rather than nationalism with reten tion of material advantages over the remain ing world. Few persons have the firm con viction that to prevent conflict in this country, manifest in internal revolution or world struggle, the welfare of the Chinese, tin- Japanese, and all foreigners must he | lifted to approach a parity with our tmu standard of living. And whereas in many in- | stances such internationalism is mere un sound idealism, unsupported by reason, Bryant supports his version by figures, ; trends, and history. X: 5! * This man’s concept of world peace, or internal progress, is the concept of those who will adopt the scientific attitude of: first, determining what is wrong in this country; second, what can be done about it; and third, how to remedy the situation. Many persons have their ideas about any one'of the above three steps. They constitute the reactionary, the conservative, and the radical. But once in a while comes a man like Lieuten ant-Commander Bryant, who is not uncompro mising in his critisism of the status quo, who believes that remedy lies in vigorous and fearless education of the human mind and tolerance of its fundamental weaknesses, and whose program for change requires sacrifice but not excessive suffering. Futhermore, Bryant’s all-pervading motive is an honest and consistent attempt to understand the causes that have brought about need for change. «i» t Hi He secs progress as the interplay of nations. He would not only gradually eliminate tariffs on materials so as to improve the physical well being of nil people tl*rough free eeuange of trade, but more important the free exchange of ideas, thus preventing unhealthy secrecy, ignorance, and suppression that is the toy of the yellow press—an anathema to the selfish. His speech was meaty, objective, and com fortable. His ideas were liberal, and his inspira tion genuine. That is what we have been looking for in this country for a long time. More of it please. Interfraternity Council Should ’Examine’ ASU A FEW months ago a badly befuddled Inter fraterrity council climbed into the ring with itself, fought several preliminaries and a main event, and escaped after narrowly missing a self imposed knockout. The fight was not in vain. The council learned of its bad physical condition which included lowered vitality and an ailing constitution. It is now in intense training for a comeback. Barring failure of improvement in any phase of this training (which includes a relapse in President Tom McCall’s "honky bronks”) the council should improve fast. The constitution is in the hands of masseur Tex Thomason. The vitality, however, is something else. A consulting physician might suggest that the council get more exercise. Now if the fraternity men on this campus want to have some fun, they could look into this American Student Union organization. The or ganization presents an opportunity for student discussion and argument with persons who here tofore have been looked upon as “incorrigibles” by the campus at large. And the fraternity men will find that many of the so called "in corrigibles” are fine persons, with firm ideas but flexible minds. And these same "liberal" students will find that the fraternity man is a man also with good ideas and sound reasoning. In short, there is an opportunity for getting acquainted, thrashing out difference of opinion, and above all, r aching a common ground of understanding among students who are different only in their way and place of living. Should the Interfraternity council take up this little challenge, and stimulate attendance at the next ASU meeting, this movement for student discussion would soon assume a character to attract all students with a common purpose intelligent examination of divergent opinions. How About Lion Taming! ^ “The person who learns by experience will make a better mate than the person who must be reformed or taught.” This is what Mrs. Cheryl Scholz, dean of women at Reed college, believes. Now these Love and Marriage lecturers are undoubtedly authorities. And the scientific ap proach to said subjects are of exceeding great value. But how about the poor guy who walks around the block five times before ringing the sorority house bell. Or the chap who, sitting next to some bundle of soft music, drinks the house mother's coffee in his nervousness. Or the timor ous gent who calls up for a sparkling new date, waits for the girl to run down from the third floor to the first floor telephone, sits shivering like a tuning fork while the "little thing" is wafting downstatirs, asks her for the next day’s assignment in Orienetal art, and hangs himself in the telephone booth. Ah, yet, Dean Scholz, experience is a wonder ful thing. But then experience also makes a good parachute jumper. * * « Experience in A German Student's Germany SRI ("'HEAT significance is attached to the military 3 education of students. Youngsters from S to I t years of age are organized in the "Jung voik” (Young Folks), where they are taught discipline and ethics of companionship, love of their country and respect for authority. Mothers are proud to see their little tots under the rigid rule of a stern commander, and to see them marching in file through the streets, shouting army songs at the top of their soprano voices. The lads themselves are enjoying their practices and are proud of their early masculinity. Hut by far the most important element for Germany's future is the "Hitler Youths," an organization having boys up to IS years of age. These constitute the backbone of the nation; these are the really idealistic, ardent, and whole some element of file country, the blonde, athletic, heroic type, as they have descended from the Germanic barbarian ancestors. Under the vigor ous leadership of young officials distinguished by decorations on their uniform, or other merits they are taught the principles of companion ship and cooperation, in the best sense of the word. The motto: "Mot personal gain, but com mon good!” Every Saturday is set aside for students to I lake an outing or to participate in sports with their respective groups. They, too, wear uni forms black slants, brown shirts, an elaborate harness with shiny buckle those of distinction wear daggers. You will see them marching, per fectly disciplined, happy faces, challenging and defying the world young conquerors all of them. In the universities, serivo in the Storm Troops j is compulsory. Kveu in schools of music the stu- I dents, not particularly athletic, students with | tender hands and feet, and a passionate dislike j of everything militaristic, are obliged to haul i a knapsack with 30 to 40 pounds of sand for a twenty-mile hike every other week end. This, in addition to playing military musical producations for four or live hours a week. Prior to entering the university, however, they must have spent one year in the "Arbeitsdienst." These are the training camps where they are schematized into the proper National-Socialistic type. ! The Marsh of Time ❖ By Bill Marsh I First of all, orchids to Marge Murdock. Genuine, unadulterated nuts, who do crazy things just for the fun of doing them are rare, even in the ranks of menfolk. They are even more rare among women. So, to you, greetings and hail, Murdock, m’dear. Keep the sense of humor and you’re stock will never sink below par with yourself or anybody else . . . especially j Bachus. * * # College students are funny things. You take a high school kid, feed him into the maw, let him revolve around for four years and out he comes . . . but what a change. Colleges are like washing ma chines. You get out just exactly what you put in . . . but you'd never recognize it. Ego Just a tip to professors . . . . you've ail seen them . . . who seem, somehow, to be laboring un der the impression that they know everything and anything that any body else says is wrong. A student at Syracuse univer sity knew that he was going to have to write a theme in English class without benefit of reference material. So he went to work and memorized an entire short article out of a magazine noted for the perfection of its literary style. The student got Ills paper back', blit instead of the expected A, he fell heir to a D, with the criticism that the article was “poorly con structed, poorly written and lack ing iu unity.” Well, what do you think? I wonder why it is, that people who really never accomplish any thing themselves are always the most critical of other people’s work. I’ve always felt that it was jealousy and nothing else. Good Luck Vineyard Haven, Mass.: Rabbit's feet aren’t so lucky in this part of New England. While walking along the street, a gentleman of dignity and upright bearing tripped and sprawled headlong into a pow er dive. His head struck the pave ment with sufficient force to frac ture the skull or cause concussion . . . but no serious results oc curred, because there was a soft spot in the pavement ... a young muskrat, who probably saved the victim from death. The muskrat, sadly enough, was hurt and had to be put to death. But his foot now travels around in the pocket of the man whose head he saved from being serious dam age. A tribute and a good luck token in one. * * * No, he hasn't got a hunchback. He slept on a fraternity sleeping porch last night, and those are icicles. Alumni Are Honored By Alpha Delta Sigma Alpha Delta Sigma'”associate members honored aiumni members of the fraternity with a compli mentary luncheon at the Del Rey Cafe Wednesday noon. The group held a discussion of plans for the good of the fraternity, plans for spring activities, and discussed the maintenance of the Alpha Delta Sigma scholarship. Air Y’ •> •> Listenin’? By Jimmy Morrison Emerald of the Air The Emerald Players are slatec to present a radio play this after noon at 3:45 via the KORE trans mitter. It is “The Hermit Murder,’ from the Oregon state police records. Local Bands Art Holman evidently isn’t doing as well as he hoped to in Portland Several unconfirmed reports have it that he’s bringing his band bad to the campus. He has been en gaged to play the Sigma Chi win ter formal next Saturday. The Air Angle Will Purvis, who was sentencec “to be hanged by the neck unti dead” and actually strung up, wil tell of his escape when he appear: as Robert "Belive It or Not” Riplej on NBC Sunday at 4:30. Sentenced to be hanged for mur der in 1893, Purvis was swung from a rope according to law, bui the noose slipped. He was returnee to the jail to recover. In the mean time the actual murderer confessec the crime and Purvis was freed. What won’t they do next? The Battle of the Fish Bowl ha: been moved to New York. The fur ious championship bout betweei the two Siamese fighting fish rep resenting the cities of Tampa an< New Orleans, which will be broad cast from the tankside next Thurs day, will be held in the city’s grea fish battling center — the Nev York aquarium. The fighting fish are in fine fet tie, exponents of the sport main (Please turn to page three) ❖ Play By Play ❖ Like the Land of the Looking ■ Glass this venture into the realm of celluloid and shooting stars \ holds wondrous possibilities. With the potentialities of Harlow, the thrills of Gable, to draw from—ah, there’s no limit. To realize these possibilities is another thing. God grant the manager will spare the rod, the intelligentsia of this fair coliege be not too critical, and the cynics not cynical. Far from pro fessing to be a critic this humble body hopes to bring before you, play by play, the highlights in cur rent movie fare—the most “gigan tic, stupendous, magnificent’’ at tractions which Eugene offers. At the McDonald last times to day is Frances Marion's emotional interpretation of life and love on the waterfront—any waterfront, i anytime, anywhere. It's another . one of those stories built for Har low, with all the earthiness of i "China Seas.’’ Unassuming, I y'am ' what I y'am stuff, potent, emo tional—and brimming over with . action and tearjerking drama. Harlow, minus the platinum , locks, is at her best. Like Gales 1 worthy characters, she is caught in the web of passion, and can’t 1 do anything about it, and so goes through hell for her man. The man is supplied by Spencer Tracy, and a good performance he gives, too, . as the tough guy, quicker with his . fists than with his brain, i After so much preliminary bick ■ ering, the two get together and I attempt to solve all troubles by ■ getting married. Then the fire ■ works begin. Things get so en ; tangled that both hero and hero - ine are seemingly put away for life. But it all comes out in the ■ wash—Tracy reforming, his un • bearable conceit flying out the window when the wolf comes a-knocking at the door. Meantime, Harlow, the constant wife, is pining away in the wo man's jail for stealing money from her greasy employer to help out friend hubby, the ungrateful wretch! And it's there (of all places) she has that baby you've been givert gentle hints about. But you’re wrong—the baby doesn't bring them back together. Father knows nothing about it. With the heroine’s escape, and Tracy proving his metal after all, things seem promising, and all ends tranquilly despite the fact that the girl must go back to serve out her time in the rendez vous for frisky females. It's a good show, notwithstanding its ob vious attempts at jerking tears, and you'll enjoy the cast, even down to the juveniles. If you’re a Harlow fan, don't miss “Riff Raff.” The other attraction is "Fresh man Love.” Need we say that it is another take-off on that college which, if it exists, is far, far away —somewhere in utopia. But then, everybody seems to realize that and takes the movie at its face value. Now it's good clean fun, kiddies, with lots of campus cuties, love in the spring, and the usual hotch raz-ma-tazz stuff. Outside of the fact that the boat race is won, not much else hap pens, but the dialogue and per formances of Patricia Ellis and Frank McHugh, with a promising supporting cast (who, by the way, can't sing, and seem to know it) make up for a meager plot. Light entertainment, and something the morons can enjoy along with the rest of the crowd. But we wonder —will they ever put out an authen tic cross section of college life? Or would it be too dull to film ? Marian Bauer.
