'Last Minuters' and the ASUO
LOT of people are “Iasi minuters.” Tliey wait until llie
latest possible time, or just a little after 1 lie final dead
line if possible. They put off studying until the final week,
or the night before the quiz. They don't get Oregann pic
tures until worried officials have warned them tlirice. They
neglect to pay fees until the last day, and then come in just,
at 10 minutes to 3 and the cashier's offiefl has to stay open
overtime. And when lickets to anything are to be exchanged
or bought they manage to get, behind the deadline and llien
protest to one and all about their rights.
Therefore it is rather difficult to criticize 1he ASTT0
administration about the handling of exchange, tickets for
the Kreisler concert last night. The educational activities
office announced through The Emerald twice last week that
Saturday noon was the definite deadline for getting exchange
tickets. . , •
“ JAST-MTNTTTERS” began grumbling about their rights
and bow busy they were. But, a careful explanation
of the necessity of the exchange ticket, system which is very
important 1o the ASUO in counting up how much must be
paid to concert stars might have quieted them. It was a
bother all right, hut when one considered that people like
Kreisler are paid a guarantee plus a percentage based on
attendance, he could see that the ASUO needs some check-up
on the number who attend.
But last night the ASUO gol kind-hearted and mixed
everything up. They decided in the last minute Ind'ore the
concert to let the procrastinators in, and went to the effort
of calling up living organizations to announce the change
in policy. Of course the ASUO couldn't know exactly about
the offieieney of freshmen answering loir-phonos ami posting
notices. Ho a lot of last-minutors got loft.
JT LEAVES ono ratlior mixed up. If llio AST’O oonkl lot
soino pooplo exchange tiokots at tho door why couldn’t
tlioy lot overbody? You say that would oauso loo muoh con
fusion? Well Ihon, tho ASEO wasn’t oxaotly fair to oithor
last-minutors or rational pooplo who wont to 1lio troublo of
exchanging before the deadline, was it? And wasn’t tho
ASI'O sort of a last-minuter itself about that change in
policy?
Wo are loft in a cjuandary. If so many pooplo (including
ourselves) wore not procrastinators wo could become right
eously indignant about tho tendency to bo “last-minutors.”
And if tho ASTY) hadn’t switched its policy at tho last
minute, wo eould have attacked it from tho standpoint of an
injured last-minuter.
So wo stand rather ungracefully without a friend or foe—■
or with both, depending upon how we look at it.

Strictly 'Untrue Life Story’ of Hitler
Related in Early Reports of Magazines,
Newspapers, Kessler Discovers
Bv HOWARD KESSLER
Since Adolph Hitler first reached the headlines
in the early 20's, hundreds of journalists have es
sayed to publish the story of his life. This com
mendable purpose has frequently bogged down in
the process of fulfillment, so that we may read
things about Hitler that seem outlandish and
preposterous to us today who know Der Feuhrer
probably better than we know the president of
these United' States, but which, nevertheless, were
printed as gospel truth a few years ago.
Herewith is presented a composite of the Hit
lerian fable, selected from half a hundred reputable
sources. All that follows is guaranteed to be 100
per cent false. Indeed, if the reader succeeds in
finding more .than three true statements in the
ntire biography, we shall feel proud to besow upon
him one genuine leather medal for success in orig
inal research.
A bibliography follows the article for the in
formation of those who may desire to verify the
appearance of every statement used herein. Now
comes Hitler "as he is not.”
Just a Boer
Adolph Hitler was born in 1884, in a suburb
of Vienna, the son of a railway employee. When
he was 13 years old his parents died, ami he went
to work in Vienna. After eight years he moved
to Munich.
Young Hitler joined the Boers and fought
against England at the beginning of the century,
and is said to have been the last man to leave
Dasspoort Fort, Pretoria, when Lord Roberts'
troops marched in.
In Munich before the war Hitler followed the
trade of locksmith. In 1914 he joined the German
army, emerging as a sergeant. He was blinded
during the last days of the conflict and in the hos
pital he was subject to ecstatic visions of victori
ous Germany. In one of these seizures his eyesight
was restored.
Shortly after the war Hitler was sent as propa
gandist, paid by the Austrian government, to the
principality of Lichtenstein, to preach union with
Austria. When his remittances ceased to arrive
from Vienna, he went to Munich, where he be
came the seventh member of the German Work
ers party.
Nazis Mule by Ford'.’
Both the French government and Henry Ford
made donations to the German Workers party,
which soon became so strong that Hitler planned
a putsch. On November 8. 1923, a political meet
ing was in session in the Kurgerorauhaus in Munch.
Hitler rushed into the hall at the head of his men.
He jumped upon a table, firing several shots into
the ceiling to command attention, and announced
the overthrow of the republic. Then his men
marched down the streets of Munich with their un
loaded rifles over their shoulders. When the loyal
troops fired on them, more than a hundred were
killed or wounded. Hitler was seen entering an
automobile with an unconscious, bleeding chilli in
liis arms, and speed away.
After his release from prison, Hitler in 1925
married Ffaulein Hanfstaengl.
In succeeding years Hitler's personal way of
life was luxurious. In his spacious city quarters
his bedroom was fitted out in the most elegant
taste, and his dressing table was covered with the
most charming variety of perfume bottles.
ler, after the performance, invited her to sit at
his table in the great open-air restaurant near the
theater.
End of a “Corrigan” Biography
Physically, the Leader is tall, dark and hand
some, with black, wavy hair, and a delicate com
plexion. He is thin, almost to the point of emacia
tion, and looks overworked. He does not shout, he
lull, uurk and handsome .... lie does not
runt . . .
When a Jewish soprano sang the lead in “Par
sifal" at the Bayreuth music festival in 1933, Hit
does not rant when speaking. There certainly can
be no doubt about his loyalty to old comrades.
He is exceptionally considerate of those around
him, and he has a sincere lover for the company
of little children. He is by no means a good
speaker. He does not carry you away with him.

There are always a great
many improvements to be made
in any physical plant the size
of the U and there is usually
but a limited amount of money
to work with. At the same
time, by spending more in one
blow and getting a thing fixed
decently and in a more perma
nent way the U would save
money in the long run. A little
looking ahead and better plan
ning would make'this possible.
The parking lot next Johnson
and the road leading up to Su
san Campbell should be graded
and oiled, eventually tarred if
not • paved. And the short
stretch linking the north end
of University to Eleventh is
worse than ever despite the
grading the county gave it less
than a month ago.
Rain is hell on gravel and
dirt roads. Grade them as many
times as you want and one good
downpour will fill them with
pockets in two hours. How
about spending some money
and getting these things done
once and for all. Every cent
spent this way, making for
more permanent good, is worth
a dollar spent in continual fix
ing-up.
I could just hear some of the
alumni who happened to drive
over that stretch around the
art school Saturday remarking,
“Things haven't changed so
much after all. Remember this
road back in '15?"
