New Rushing Regulations Proposal Up to Council OREGON DAILY EMERALD 22 Pledges Of Phi Theta Upsilon Announced OREGON'S INDEPENDENT COLLEGE DAILY VOLUME XXXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1936 NUMBER 97 Varsity Baseball Season Officially OPens With Pacific Game At 3 Today STAGE of the WORLD s, By WILLIAM THOMASON + $ ' -*.... t Up and Down Following' our usual procedure we will go into the air before com ing to ground. Great Britain has disclosed that she is putting through final tests the most for midable air weapon yet developed. It is a plane powered by a 12-cyl inder Rolls Royce Merlin motor, has a wing spread of 54 feet, an overall length of 42 feet 1 3-4 inch es, and is capable of doing 300 miles an hour. It is a two-seater job with the pilot and gunner be ing housed under non-breakable glass, and is reported to be able to do so many tricks that a single seater looks as untalented as a campus dog in a circus. That is Britain's contribution, along with the $1,500,000,000, to the arma ment race. "The war department disclosed it had ordered 200 new aircraft en gines, costing $1,877,030,’’ reads yesterday’s paper, and that is part of the U. S.’s contribution to the armaments race, along with $545, 000,000 appropriated by the House of Representatives and still being increased by the Senate—but the bill has not yet gone to the Presi dent. "German Dirigible Takes First Trip” runs another squib. "The great new German Dirigible, the Hindenburg, flew west today on its first voyage to South America, passing over the Netherlands to avoid French territory.” Here’s Germany’s peaceful contribution to world peace. Some day it may try and emulate its wartime suc cessors in scaring timid London ers. So the world arms to the teeth, or would it be better to say the governments of the world arm to the teeth ? Before the Germans re-tinted the diplomatic landscape by moving into the Rhineland, there peeped out of an insignifi cant corner of the paper the dis patch that the peasants of France had attended church on the pre ceding day in great numbers—to pray that the then imminent dan ger of war be somehow averted. Crises of other kinds have come and gone, but the danger of war has not left. It does not seem like ly that it will, but will instead flare into another great conflict. And the people of the world pray for peace! No doubt some will answer this by saying that government exists only by the consent of the gov erned, and that the policy of the government is an expression of the wishes df the people. Abroad that may be theoretically true, but war seems to be an exception to the rule. People want peace; some are praying for peace, yet the race to war goes on apace. You solve the riddle. As for disarmament, the other side of the case, let it be answered by the hackneyed refutation— would criminals disappear if po licemen threw away their guns ? Would the weeds no longer grow if the hoe and the harrow were discarded ? Professors Traded For Summer School Ohio university and the Univer sity of Oregon will exchange pro fessors of sociology for the coming session of summer school, it was announced last night. Dr. R. R. Martin, assistant pro fessor of sociology here will teach in the Ohio institution from June 15 to September 1, while E. A. Taylor, assistant professor there will come to Eugene June 22.

Other points to be considered by the judges— Lowry, Fred Hammond, Kermit Paulson, and Ralph Schomp—are originality, simplicity of construc tion, and adaptibility to the mill race setting. All entries in the contest are to be given to Ralph Schomp in the ASUO offices in McArthur court. Pairings of houses for the fete will be held later, Lowry said.

Optional Drill Initiative Planned Small Group Makes Plans Despite Pleas of Other University Students Despite the pleas of a group of advocates for retention of ROTC drill as at present, the Oregon committee for peace and freedom threw a state-wide optional mili tary initiative campaign into ac tion last night. The meeting was held in Gerlinger hall prior to the opening of the weekly session of the American Student union. The initiative movement, threat ened some months ago if imme diate action was not taken by the state board of higher education, came as the climax to an extend ed optional military campaign for both University of Oregon and Oregon State college campuses. Delay Pleas Made 'Pleas for delaying the move un til the next meeting of the state board of higher education came from the advocates of the reten tion of military drill headed by Don Thomas, after it had become known around the campus that the “peace and freedom” committee was instituting action last night. Thomas showed much concern for the effect the campaign would have among citizens of the state and their attitude toward the Uni versity. He pointed out that the move would raise a dangerous bar rier toward liberal ideals because reactionaries will call for a purg ing of teaching staffs, ousting those who entertain liberal ideas. Continual efforts of a small group, not representing the campus at large, were also condemned by Thomas. Petitions Ready Soon Petitions supporting the optional movement will be ready for circu lation early next week, according to leaders of the Oregon Commit tee for Peace and Freedom. Legal arrangements for the ballot title of the petitions will be prepared to day. Initial contributions to the cam paign fund were gathered last night. An outline publicity cam paign for the drive was made last night with periodical news releas es and a weekly radio program scheduled. Organizers of the move ment will carry the cause to granges, labor unions, Townsend clubs, and churches for support, it was made known. Other Support Plans are' being made to add support by contacting a group in Corvallis who have shown interest in the movement. At last night’s meeting Glenn Griffith, YMCA secretary, was chosen executive secretary; Betty Brown, former secretary to Gov. Charles H. Martin, treasurer, and Howard Ohmart, financial chair man. Charles Paddock will remain as chairman. Dr. Cook insists he discovered the North Pole, but it’s difficult now to check up on the footprints, the region being pretty well tr am pled down.

Pledging of men with high school diplomas would be per mitted during the summer months as the “open" part of the scheme. Actual rush week activities would come under the “closed” regula tions. Although supervision of pre school rushing would necessarily be rather lax, fraternity pledging methods during registration week would be subject to strict over seeing, according to King's plan. Dates would be restricted to not more than two a day or five for the week. Rushees would not be permitted to have two consecutive dates with any house. The plan will be voted on at the next meet ing of the council.
