In the hustle of the press conference we almost missed 1his liltle event, which sets a precedent in the management of fraternity affairs. At that meeting the council, consisting of' fraternity presidents, approved a move by the house managers’ organ ization to ask the athletic, activities board for compensation for housing Oregon’s high school track athletes during their spring term meet here. The matter involved is important, 1o he sure, but the precedent set by this move should bring about a new style in 1ho government, of the Greek letter organizations. No longer should we see fraternities running about the campus, hydra-headed, with one group of officials deciding one way, and the other taking the opposite stand. No longer should we see the two organizations laying down ultimatums to one and all, including each other. Out of this case, has come a sort of bi-cameral ruling body, a two-house legislature which will give consistency 1o the legislation and acts of each. # # # # pERIIAPS we are stretching the development a hit, but such a co-ordinated rule is the logical conclusion to the situation which has been evidenced during the past year. The campus was presented with the absurdity of an organized group being run by two heads. Such a rule is necessarily im possible ami confusing. The special positions of each group make then view situations in a different light, and when the actions of one were compared with another glaring incon sistencies were discovered. Sometimes one group had acted without the other group even having knowledge of its de cision. Therefore, if the interfraternity council and the house managers have not come to an agreement on powers and rights of action of their respective organizations, it would be well if they completed by legal means the machinery for acting together. Then the actions of the two will take on new weight. The different backgrounds and values of each Avid make each decision more important and intelligent. And most important of all, the fraternities will no longer appear as a two-headed monster, trying to go different, directions at the same time. 200 Is Better, But... ^^llEHON S basketball players did appreciate being \ve comet! back from their history-making Inland Empir road trip by nearly 200 slmlents. hid they were slill a little miffed at the sendoff the; received a week ago. The Dnek players said very lit tie about that “fi-man send off,” but their sentiments were voiced by Slim Winter mute very adequately, when he laughingly said at yesterday' rally: “Even our girl friends weren’t down to see us off but we re glad to have you here for our return.” On the trip, the Ducks swept series with both Washing ton State and Idaho. This is the first time in the school’! history that this has been done, in Coach Howard Hobson’: belief. This showing was more than enough to convince a uumbei of Oregon students that the Ducks should, at least, be wel comed home. npiIREE members of a disorganized rally committee, headed by Scott Corbett and Harold Weston, student body presi dent, put their heads together and rallied less than <i per cent of Oregon’s students at an impromptu gathering at the station. To these members should go the palms for the day. l'.ut the incident should not be forgotten. No Webfool team should have to, in the tutnre, board a train for important games feeling they had been slighted by the student body, feeling that they were not worthy of some kind of sendoff. Then it must not be forgotten that yesterday's rally was impromptu, that it was far from the best rally that could have been arranged. However, it was the best that could be put on in such short notice. # # # # WHEN and if the new rally reform bill is passed, a clause should be included making provision for just such a stormy period when changes are being made in the rallv setup. May it be suggested to the reformists to include a section to the appointment of a temporary yell king whenever the official yell king cannot continue in his office. Better still would be an official “rally station” near the Anchorage where the tram could stop long enough for team members to step aboard. Such a “rally station" would be advantageous from the students’ standpoint, although im practical from the railroad’s. 1 eihaps when the highway commission, the townspeople, and the University people interested in improving the Uni versity areas near the railroad and highway get thoroughly into the problem they might consider this suggestion.—<3.1*. Youth of Nation Even More Enthusiastic In Confidence in Roosevelt Than Others, ; Comparison of Recent Surveys Reveal By Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 23—The world is wit nessing a perplexing situation in American poli tics: a president going into the last half of his second term, with strong opposition to his startl ing policies—but still with the confidence of the majority of the people. The youth of the nation now acquiring a higher education, the leaders of the country tomorrow, are in accord with the rest of the citizenry, and are even more enthusiastic, in the support of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Barge Per Cent Support Roosevelt Today In a sampling referendum conducted for the Emerald and scores of other cooperating college newspapers, the Student Opinion surveys of Am erica show that 65.5 per cent of the students “gen erally approve of Roosevelt today as president.’’ The survey included students of all shades of political affiliation. This figure, however, does not mean that they would like to see him run for a third term, for only 28.2 per cent answer yes to that question. The most significant deduction of the results of this poll is that although the students like the president they don't want him to be a candidate again. The surveys, recently organized for sounding out campus opinion, have conducted two ballotings on Roosevelt, so it is possible to determine his trend of popularity on the colleges. Dec. Jan. Approev of Roosevelt . 62.8% 65.5% Favor third term . 27.2% 28.2% F.D.R.’s increase in popularity during the month may be attributed to events focusing atten tion on foreign affairs and national defense. Con demnation of Nasi treatment of Jews, the Lima conference, trade treaties with Great Britain, and rearmament are policies generally approved by the public. I More Students Favor President It is of interest to compare the nation's student vote of 65.5 per cent for Roosevelt with the Janu ary figure released by the American Institute of Public Opinion, showing 58 per cent of all voters | approving. Although students are more emphatic on this count, they tend to agree more closely on third-term sentiment. The survey shows 28.2 per cent favoring;,the institute shows 30 per cent. Those who do not want to see him run again most often mention tradition against third term as their reason. Others don’t like his policies, espe cially spending. On the’ other hand, those in the minority believe he is the only man available who can carry out the program he started. An arts and sciences senior interviewed at the University of Pittsburgh gave a typical answer of the think ing student’s reason for approval: “His progres sive attitude is necessary to prevent a breakdown of democracy.’’ The president’s popularity, by sections, runs in this order, from highest to lowest: South, Far West, West Central, East Central, Middle Atlantic, and New England.

UO Library Gets Book of 1929 Grad To the TT. of O. collection in the University library last week was added Laurence E. Thomlinson’s "Gutenberg and the Invention of Printing,” which will be made a part of that collection devoted to the works of Oregon graduates. Mr. Thomlinson is a 1929 gradu ate of the University and is now employed in the Library of Con gress in Washington, D. C. "It is very fitting that we com memorate Gutenberg at the World’s fair . . . and join with the rest of the world in 1940 in cele bration of the 500th anniversary of the masterpiece of his genius,” the ex-Oregonian declares. His book is based on the life of the inventor of the printing press and attempts, according to Thom linson, to present some' of the truths which are so questioned about the life of Gutenberg and his real relation to the printing process. “Gutenberg and the Invention of Printing" is an anniversary edition, written in keeping with the ob servance of his life’s work.
