In Appreciation of
Ex-Navy Man Bryant
DIFFERENT, simple, and sincerely objective,
yesterday's lecture of Lieutenant-Command
er Stewart F. 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.

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.

❖ 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 ?
