K’ABLE offers all sorts of warnings against immoderate expectations ■*" —counting chickens before they're hatched and the like- but, if fraternity rushing continues until Saturday noon as smoothly as it has gone throughout the early part of the week, we are prepared to throw caution to the winds and pronounce the new rules a success. "Rushing, of course, will continue next week while fraternities pursue men who have managed to evade them during the official season, but any set of rules that manages to hold the wolves in check during the turmoil of the first week surely will be able to keep things in order after the shouting dies down a bit. So perhaps our prediction, ivcljbhedged as it is, doesn't call for any great courage. * * * pOMPLAINTS of "dirty-rushing" have so far been practically nil — V4 no more than a few easily-quieted misunderstandings arising from the failure of unstrung frosh to show up at the right place at the right place at the right time. So far, there have been no charges of "hide auts” or “hot-boxing," which in times past were the most flagrant abuses and which the interfraternity council last year set out par ticularly to prevent. Last year wc would have said that it couldn't be done, but ap parently it is being done apparently the council is achieving the impossible. fMtEDIT for any success of the new regulations should be given not only to the sanity and comprehensiveness of the rules themselves, out to the spirit in which they are being enforced. Bitter interfra ternity rivalries came to a head in last year’s rushing “scandals" and the resultant purging seems to be showing its effect. The fraternities are to be congratulated for the fine spirit they have shown setting themselves in order. Such a spirit of friendly cooperation should not be allowed to die out. Register to Vote! IF THERE is any one thing that threatens American democracy it is not the sinister and spectral “-isnis" with which super-patriots and demagogues have been haunting us it is the failure of a great part of our citizenry to vote. Jefferson’s “tree of American liberty" is not imperiled by radical Crack-pots and reactionary fuddy-duddies it is suffering from a mal ady that strikes at its very heart, the disregard that a large per centage of the people has for the ballot, which is the very essence of democracy. There are no actual figures available, but past observation war rants the conclusion that college students are as neglectful of their democratic duties as any other class of people but perhaps with more excuse, for, until lately, most collegians have thought it necessary to vote by means of absentee ballots m the communities from which they have come. And the more or less troublesome nature of the absentee method has been one of the prinicpal reasons for thir failure to vote. jJj si; s|: IT has been called to the attention of the Emerald, however, that * students registered in the University have established their residence sufficiently to vote right here in Eugene, provided that they register as voters 30 days prior to the election. They must, of course, declare Eugene to be their home, whicli it is, at least for the four years of their schooling. Also they must be able to luliill such other requirements us those of age, citizenship, residence in the state and ability to read anil write. No matter what critics may say, the latter qualification ■ Will stump few collegians. To facilitate the registration of student voters a registrar has been appointed on the campus with an office in the journalism building. Alep have died for the right to vote. Will Oregon students walk a block or two for the same right? Don’t be a Learn to Dance NOW!

You have bought yourselvei j something, and no mistake. * ■* Word has reached us that th' Phi Belts have been leading rush ! ees to the window again this year . pointing to the pretty masonry ol the new libe and making pridefu remarks about "the new ehaptei house.” This is in direct violatioi j of Section 4, paragraph 2 of th< new rushing rules, and >Ir Tongue’s attention is respectfully drawn to this matter. Incidentally, the Bystander him 1 self was in on a little rushing party the other night that culminated in ! the Rainbow at 1 o’clock in the | a.m. when two of the lads, appar i ently irked by the dearth of mas I culine facilities, boldly strode into | the ladies’ lounge. Just to prove ■ that we are broadminded, we an announcing at this time that vv< are open for bids from either the parties concerned, OR Tigei Tongue and h;s gum-shoe gang The highest bidder can purchase either silence or a flood of oratory. * * v Certain individuals who have out welfare at heart have come to the Bystander with the information that Bob "Heart's Delight'' Pres cott is “looking” for us. Bod, they whisper, was not pleased by the expose of his extremely complicat ed love-life in the last edition and would gladly produce a compact j reproduction of the Spanish revo lution in the Emerald office if the j Bystander was available as sub ject. We would remind this sanguin ary-minded lad that all the people he sees sniffing in his vicinity don't have cold's, and even his fraternity brothers gagged toward the end of the saga. IS * * For this season only the Thetas have taken the production line out of their pink-plaster palace. They | ran ’em in by the thousands last I rush week, forcing the national to send out an S.O.S. to the effect that, since McArthur court was not available, would they please, please refrain from pledging more mort gage-fodder than there were beds! As a result, only 12 lucky girls will pass the portals for the coming year. Think of what you missed, pretties, by not getting here when the gates were open! It is understood that the Chi I’sis will follow the program laid down a year ago and stop direct ing their ajipeal to the carriage trade.
