'Beat the Beavers'—Minus the Paint
rJ''IIIC ancient football rivalry between Oregon and Oregon
State once a pa in dominates (lie two eampuses. The
Barometer carries tlu* message of “Heat Oregon” and “Duck
Sou)).’ 'File Emerald answers today with news of rally plans,
“Heat the Heavers’’ and a prowinp football spirit, revived
by the Washinpton victory, and promisinp to prow to a hiph
pitch for the annual classic Saturday afternoon.
Hast nipld came news of the lirst of a probable series of
proposed attacks on Hie Orepon campus, with a telephone
call to the Emerald that the Skinners butte () would be
painted oranpe and'black. That is as it should be. The liupc
cement lei ter on the hillside above Hupene was placed there
for that purjiose—to pive sludents the opportunity to vent
their fired patriotism in a harmless manner.
# « * ■*
£^REGON students can rally in pood pre-panic spirit to
puard the (), the seal, the senior bench, and other tradi
tional objects of paint. Perhaps the Heavers will be able
to slip in wilh a bucket of two of oranpe paint—and no
Inarm will be done.
The disasters of the past that have oeeured when pood
dean tun was transformed into vandalism need not occur.
Hast year thirty Orepon students suffered for rash action.
Their personal sufferinp should be a deterrent to over
enthusiasts 1 his year. Even a more important deterrent
should be the respect, for the University of Orepon which
every student has. Such acts as have occurred in the past
accomplish nothiup for Orepon, but rather do preal harm.
We can shout “Heat the Heavers’’ to the skies, but the
paint will be much better off at home.

Rise of the Drum Majoress
r|>IfU momentous question of wheiher 1 >io University of
Oregon Innul shall be led, enlivened and inspired by a
eomcly drum majoress, or majorette, will be settled it is
Imped in tin; affirmative. Candor constrains 1 lie admission
that a baton-1 wirling girl, in the resplendent uniform tra
ditional to her calling, imparts something even to the best of
bands that bands are the better for having. Perhaps it is
it in [>ii.
Resides, ours definitely is the day of the drum majoress,
and who are we to look with jaundiced eye upon an out
standing triumph of feminine youth? ft is common to all
drum majoresses, as they lead 1 heir devoted musicians down
the public avenues, before the applauding thousands, that
they are radiant, simply radiant, with the joy of life and
spirit of music—one might say, acrobatically radiant. The
musicians, on the other hand, however light their hearts,
are much too busy to be radiant. Ho the drum majoress per
forms prodigies with the baton, and gladdens all beholders.
and most effectively and charmingly expresses the esprit
de corps of the marching-bandsmen. A plebescite probably
would disclose that the drum mayoress is more popular than
ever was the mnstached, red-joweled drum major who used
to lead the band.
There is a school in Chicago where drum majoring is
taught, quite seriously, by an acknowledged master of the
art. One alludes to this institution of lighter learning because
most of ils many ambitious pupils are girls, and some of them
have yet to reach their teens. They are gladly submitting
themselves to the humps and contusions inevitable to their
instruction that one day they, too, may he drum mayoresses,
stepping high and lightly before the multitude. It is an
innocent and admirable ambition, and it is mentioned here
as a sign of the times that it is quite undeserving of any
censorious frown.

Saturday was a field day for
Oregon ... if there ever was
one . . . vvilh Oliver pulling
more than one surprise out of
his sleeve to upset dopesters
from Seattle. We saw Oregon
with a passing defense ... a
defense that held the Huskies
to one yard gained from passes
. . . one lone completion out of
ten attempts . . . and that’s one
for Kipley!
And we saw Jimmy Nichol

Jew-Persecutor Hitler Like Saintly
Bishop Compared with Medieval
Admiral Horthy, Emerald Scribe Notes
By HOWARD KESSLER
Word seems to have gotten around of late that
Adolf Hitler does not Itke the Jews. At least that
is the impression T gather from reading the news
papers. The reports seem to show a considerable
lack of appreciation on the part of Der Fuehrer
for the qualities of the Semitic people.
Now, my friends, if this comment appears to
be an understatement I should like to present an
explanation. I have been reading the gruesome
details of Admiral Nicolas Horthy’s march to
power, and placed beside the Hungarian dictator,
Adolf Hitler begins to look like an elderly Angeli
cal] bishop feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar square.
It is quite probable that you have never heard
of Admiral-Regent Horthy's anti-Semitism. Hun
gary today is an emaciated fragment of its former
self, the population is only eight million, and, judg
ing by tin- ferocity of the pogroms as related in
contemporary magazines, most of the Jews must
have been exterminated or chased out of the coun
try as far back as 1919. But Horthy set the styles
in modern medievalism, and Hitler has failed to
approach them in brutality by several hops and
a jump.
Horthy l’lots a Revolution
After the World War, in which he won his
spurs as a naval commander, Horthy returned to
Hungary to retire. He found a Communist regime
under Bela Kun, and, being a member of the Mag
yar gentry, drew off to one side with a few of his
officers to plot an overthrow of the hated Bol
shevists. The officers raised up an armed force
of a few thousands discontented soldiers, gained
financial support from the land barons whose prop
erty was being confiscated, and began the White
Terror which did not cease when Horthy took over
the government. The following excerpt from Cen
tury magazine of August. 1922, will give you an
idea of the situation. Writes Eugene S. Bagger:
“The nationalist troops blamed the ‘dirty
Jews’ for the communist regime. They were at
the bottom of all the misery that befell the pillar
of Magyard nationhood, the landed gentry.
“Te mood of the officers was symbolized by
one Camptain Pronay. who swore that he would
not rest until he killed 1.000 Jews with his own
hands. Under the pretext of searching for and
punishing communists, t he officers raided and
plundered villages, outraged women, maltreated
and killed Jews, and whomever else incurred their
displeasure.
Putting the Shoe on Another Foot
"The brutality of the acts committed and the
flimsiness of the excuses proffered surpass belief.
Old grudges were settled in summary fashion.
Years ago a distressed squire may have sold his
harvest to a Jew for what he had thought was a
bad price. Now the squire came back, chief of a
communist-hunting squad; he seized the Jew,
hanged him and took his property. Or else an of
ficer would sec a' Jew wearing a new suit of
clothes. He would shoot the Jew and expropriate
the suit.
"In several places Ihe Catholic priests them
selves tried to protect innocent Jews; they were
hanged on the spot. The number of victims who
perished in these atrocities can be put between
live and six thousand.
"One of the terror detachments was headed by
a Count Salm, a Hungarian officer of Austrian
descent. He hail achieved unenviable fame by an
exploit at Dunafoeldvar, where he murdered a
wealthy Jewish merchant, not without having pre
viously exacted a ransom for safe-conduct. After
the murder the count not only took all cash and
valuables from the victim’s house, but also pulled
a pair of brand-new shoes off his feet, remarking
that dead Jews needed no new shoes.
Tragedy Strikes in Hungary
"However, Count Salm’s most substantial
claim to a reputation rests on a case of the Jew
ish millionaire Albert Freund' do Toszeg, member
of one of the greatest industrial families of Hun
gai v. Count Salm s party raided Freund’s chateau,
hear Lake Balaton. Without further ado, without
even a pretext, the millionaire was condemned to
be hanged in the presence of his wife. The peas
ants of the village witnessed the proceedings in
dumb horror; ]< reund was a kindly man and they
all liked him. Count Salm asked an onlooker for a
piece of rope. The peasant said he had none. In
furiated, the count set off the villagers to search
• or a rope; after a while they returned and said
that no rope was to be found on the place. There
upon Salm tore a piece of wife from a fence
md hanged the unfortunate with his own hands.
Mis Freund fainted; the peasants wept; the Gip
sy band that accompanied the officers sang ribald
songs.
"Now, hundreds of other Jews had been mur
dered before in a similar way and nothing further
happened. But this was different. Freund was a
millionaire and belonged to a very influential fam
ily. The ease was reported to the Allied represen
tatives at Budapest, and an inquiry was ordered.
I nder this pressure Horthy issued a warrant for
Salm s arrest. A searqfi was made. A few days
later Horthy reported to the Allied missions that
ie was very sorry, but Salm had disappeared. All
the while, County Salm stayed right at headquar
ters and dined and wined with Horthy every
night.”
This all happened in 1910. In 1938. seventy
years old and graying. Admiral Horthy still guides
tlie destinies of Hungary.

I have a question now for
those of you who saw the game
Saturday, for those of you who
saw the Washington band and
their five-baton-twirling major
esses. Did the sight of those
five girls spiritedly leading the
Washington band have a de
moralizing effect on you, did
it lower the fairer sex in your
estimation or were you one of
the thousands who merely
thought the girls added a lot to
the show made by the Washing
ton band?
I believe the question of a
drum majoress at Oregon is not
one so much of morals . . . how
appropriate it is to have a girl
leading the band ... as it is
one of the challenging of au
thority by students.

Another question how much
power does it take to move the
AWS?
Answer: merely one li.p.
Following the game Saturday
there was the usual scramble
for the goal posts and ensuing
fights for rooters lids, et al.
Three minutes after the final
gun one post and the cross bar
bit the dust. A half hour later
the other post was still stand
ing, milling students swaying
it first one way, then the other,
but failing to tear it from its
roots. Police, who up to this
time had been watching from a
respectful distance, now took
a hand, maintaining the stu
dents had had long enough to
break the post down. Students
were thrust back from the goal,
jeering .the ..coppers., as ..they
back-tracked.
Then a fight started over
near the stands. The crowd
swarmed over and with them
the police force. One portly of
ficer was left guarding the post
. . . sooo ? Why not ? And
three Oregon students proceed
ed to lift the remaining goal
post from its moorings and
send it crashing as irate offi
cers of the law charged back
on the scene . . . only too late.
It was a field day for students,
too! Aftermath: several stu
dents nursing bruised faces and
bodies, sweaters and pants torn
to shreds, and one student
proudly displaying the officer’s
badge he had acquired in the
scuffle. * * *

CALL FOR A VOTE
To the Editor:
T honestly believe that the
time has come that the whole
student body should be allowed
to voice his or her opinion as to
whether the University of Ore
gon should or should not have a
drum majoress.
So far the decisions rendered
condemning such an idea have
come from just a very, very
small percentage of our student
body. It also seems that some
fraternities and sororities won’t
go on record as to whether or
not they wish a drum majoress.
Consequently in all fairness to
better than 98 per cent of our
student body why can't we vote
(Australian ballot) on this
question? I am quite sure that
nobody would object to having
the balloting take place in the
very near future.
lhe voting- could easily take
place in the YMCA shack and
I am sure that at least 80 per
cent of the campus would par
take in the voting.
So to clear this issue up as to
what the students themselves
at th U. of O. desire, again I
repeat in all fairness let’s vote
on this all important issue as to
whether or not we should have
drum mayoresses.
