End to a Hydra
significant move was taken by tlic interfraternity coun
cil last Thursday evening. 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.
