College Swing Night To Feature O'Brien Tonight is College Swing night iat the Heilig theater, where the nationally famous Johnny O’Brien and his Harmonica Hi-Hats are ap pearing on the stage today and Saturday. As a special program for the University students, the (band leader has consented to set .aside the regular routine, and let the boys in the band play nothing but the newest and hottest swing. O’Brien’s band, with Lora Lee as vocalist, is considered as one of the top harmonica bands in Am erica today. In the past eight months the Hi-Hats have been heard weekly on two transconti nental broadcasts, as well as ap pearing with almost every major orchestra in the country. Approached on the telephone be fore coming to Eugene, the young harmonica artist said, “Okay, we’ll just toss the regular act out of the window and let the boys go into a jam session. We will play as long and as hot as the crowd can stand it, or until the boys drop in their tracks. The gang would enjoy it anyway, so I’ll just turn them loose.” Alpha Delta Sigma Elects Officers to Serve Next Year Replacing Zollie Volchock, retir ing president who will go out of office at the end of the term, Dale Mallicoat, junior in advertising, was elected president of Alpha Del ta Sigma, men’s national advertis ing fraternity, at a luncheon meet ing Wednesday.

CARL BAKER FILM SHOP 7th and Willamette ^ ^ V V 'V 9 T T V V V’T T ^ v Toss o/Dollar Decides Head OfFratCouncil The decision between Ron Husk and Bill Cummings for the position of interfraternity coun cil president was decided by the flip of a silver dollar in the air by Dean Earl last night when the council vote was tied eight to eight. Following two tie votes as called by Don Johnson, outgoing president, the two candidates accepted the 50-50 chance. Cum mings called “heads,” Dean Earl tossed up the coin, and it rolled at the feet of Husk settling “tails up.” Other candidates nominated were Keith Osborne and Hank Nilsen for the offices of treas urer and vice-president reespec tively. Both received a unani mous ballot for their positions. The new officers take office immediately, Johnson said last night. Donald Coney, University of Texas librarian, is making a col lection of “sub rosa” student newspapers. -- German Policy Is Same As US in1900—Asendorf By ROD ORANGE America’s imperialism wasn’t robbery but just the honest opinion of a nation of people who thought it was all right to steal, Werner Asendorf, German exchange student, said Wednesday night at a meet ing of the International Relations club in the YWCA shack. “Bluntly and without a propagandist’s view,’’ the blond German said, "I want to give the German point of view. Germany is now in the same position as the United States was at the end of the last century. Germany never became a .united nation until 1900; she didn’t have a chance to invade until the other imperialistic nations had done all the invading to be done. “In Czechoslovakia,” Asendorf said, “there are three and a half million Germans who want and will get their autonomy. It is not cer tain when Hitler will move; I am not certain whether it will come next week or in the next month. Hitler will spring a surprise; and surprised you will be — and me too,” he said with a grin. “The time is going to come when Germany will unite all of Europe under German doctrines,” he said. He said that countries made up of many nationalities, like Czechoslo vakia and Austria, because of their lack of unity will break down. Hitler urged Mussolini on to Absynnia so that Austria would be free from Italian interference, Asendorf pointed out. Germany has no longer to be afraid of Italy because of Hitler's strategy and iFrance is no longer a menace be cause she is losing power, he said. Send the Emerald to the folks.
