'A Lead Pipe Cinch'
r£''TITC people who sell ASUO cards, being
very fine friends of ours, occasionally
ask us to write a word or two at Ihe begin
.(iiing of a term 1o tell the general student
body what a superlative bargain they have
( prepared. Since we are also very good friends
’ of theirs we occasionally comply.
Hut this term it is different. Although 1he
•vernal equinjnx (the offlicialj beginning of
•spring when Ihe sun drosses the eldestia 1
equator) will not arrive until tomorrow, we
feel confident that no one would care 1o
. challenge us when we suggest that spring is
here. The signs of this joyous season are on
’.every hand.
; The gentle reader may ask what equinoxes
■and spring have to do with why we feel dif
- ferent about writing an editorial on how
everybody should buy ASUO cards? It is this
way.
* # « *
;XHE °^ier afternoon we were sunning our
selves on a grassy bank, lazily looking
over the list of 23 attractions which will go
to the purchaser of a $3 ASUO card. As we
noted the variety show, the Igor Gorin con
cert, tennis matches, golf matches, track
meets, election privileges, baseball games, the
;; campus musical comedy, etc., we began to
wonder how anybody could refuse to buy
an ASUO card. As we looked over this super
lative list of offerings we felt that no one
would be capable of refusing to buy.
Especially, we thought to ourselves, in
view of the weather, a student who would be
capable of saying “no” to an ASUO salesman
-Would be one whose resistance was so great
jlhat he probably never bought anything
(anyway.
So we look at it this way. It’s a “lead
- pipe cinch” for the ASUO salesmen to put
■across their campaign this term. With the
weather breaking down peoples’ resistance
on every hand, and a. superlative program
(awaiting, failure seems well nigh an im
' possibility.
Now that spring is in the air, it seems that the
Koadman-Bobinson musical comedy, “With Pear
and Trembling,” is at last taking definite shape.
And we do mean shape. Exhibiting the shapelies
will be our—that is, the Emerald's Alycc “Carol”
Ungers, Iris (Pranzen) Smith, Donna Row, Mary
Staton, and Janet Paines. The hit song of the piece
de theatre, “I Pound Something New in You,” is
" to be published shortly (sometime after the first
of April, according to George Root) and will have
a photograph of Pcs Ready and Mary Staton on
the cover. And, oh, yes, it’s to be in’ two colors.
The photograph, we mean.
In spite of a drizzle or two, hardware-lending

At the games Thursday and Friday nights, the
California rooters (Stan Norris claims he talked
to both of them) said the Oregon rooters were
lousy sports because they booed too much. But
the Cal team’s flash, Bickerton, said they were mild
compared to some of the rooting sections his team
had played for. Among those who stayed in town,
for the game and other reasons, were Alpha Phi's
“Romy” Theobald and Helen Howard, Gamma
Phi's Mary Darling, Alpha Chi's Dorothy Barclay,
M«‘rl llansconi, Theta Chi.
Also seen at the game: dozens of suede hats in

bed of pain for a Visit to Portland. The reason is

Students Frown on
Hitler Tactics and
Return of Colonies
By Student Opinion Surveys of America
AUSTIN, Texas, March 20—American senti
ment against Hitler is pointed out in another way
this time among college students of the nation
The latest poll of the Student Opinion Surveys o:
America reveals an overwhelming majority of stu
dents opposing the return to Germany of th<
colonies taken from her after the World War.
Although German colonial demands have fadec
into the background while Mussolini’s Tunisiar
aspirations occupy the center of the Europear
stage, Hitler has many times made it known thai
he will accept no substitutes for territory. Some
observers believe Der Fuehrer desires the African
colonies not so much for their resources as for
new military bases.
Collegians Say ‘No’
Whatever Hitler’s motives are, American col
lege students, members of the group that supplied
many fighters for the last war, oppose the idea
as shown by their answers to the question, “Should
the colonies taken from Germany after the World
war be returned to her?” Survey staff members
for the Oregon Emerald and the other eighty-four
member publications found students consistent in
their opinions everywhere. The national totals:
Return the colonies, said 28.1 per cent.
Keep them, said 71.9 per cent.
Percentages of student opinion tally closely
with those found by polls of all voters in the
United States and England some time ago. In both
countries 76 per cent were against return of the
■nnciQOcjainnc*
Far West Percentage Low
Section variations of those opposing return
were not large, but they were present in the stu
dent poll:
New England . 64.7%
Far Western . 68.7
West Central . 71,0
Middle Atlantic . 71,8
East Central . 72.7
Southern . 76.9
An education student on the campus of the
Glendale, California, Junior college gave the rea
son most often advanced for favoring return of
the colonies when he said, “Yes, they need the
raw materials.” On the other hand, a Carnegie
Tech engineering student declared, “Definitely no!
The psychological effect is too great—Germany
would feel like she was putting something over.”
An Iowa State student warned that although the
colonies should have never been taken from Ger
many, nevertheless they should not be returned at
this stage of the game.”

Harvard Scientist
Shuns Totalitarians
Famous Physicist
Closes Laboratory
To Dictatorships
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—(ACP)—
Prof. Percy W. Bridgman, famed
Harvard university physicist, has
shut the doors of his laboratory to
citizens of totalitarian states to
protest the misuse of science by
the dictator-controlled nations.
In a “Manifesto by a Physicist”
published in the official journal of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, the lead
ing scientist declared:
“I have decided from now on not
to show any apparatus or discuss
my experiments with the citizens
| of any totalitarian state. A citizen
of such a state is no longer a free
individual, but he may be com
pelled to engage in any activity
whatever to advance the purpose
of that state. The purposes of the
totalitarian states have shown
themselves to be in irreconcilable
conflict with the purposes of free
states.
“In particular, the totalitarian
states do not recognize that the
free cultivation of scientific knowl
edge for its own sake is a worthy
end of human endeavor, but have
commandeered the scientific activ
ities of their citizens to serve their
own purposes.
“These states have thus annulled j
the grounds which formerly justi- '
fied and made a pleasure of the
free sharing of scientific knowl
edge between individuals of differ
ent countries. A self-respecting
recognition of this altered situation
demands that this practice be
stopped.
“Cessation of scientific inter
course with the totalitarian states
serves the double purpose of mak
ing more difficult the misuse of
scientific information by these
states and of giving the individual
opportunity to express his abhor
rence of their practices.”

Free Education

no longer are able to pay their
own way they lose their freedom,
President King said:
“The economic basis of private
ly endowed educational institutions
is sound today, but it is doubtful
if it will be sound tomorrow. The
income from our endowments has
dropped a third and the end is not
yet.
“The government has been op
erating for ten years by deficit fi
nancing. We’ll pay for that later.
I’m not criticising the govern
ment. It’s just the way things are
—it’s a world situation. Those costs
will have to be paid the day after
tomorrow.”
“That evil day may come in a
few years, or it may be ten.” It
will definitely be during his life
time, he is convinced.
“They will be faced with the
alternative of remaining independ
ent privately endowed institutions,
or accepting government subsidies.
In the latter event, they will no
longer be the free institutions that
have made this country what it is.
My judgment tells me that only
the strongest will be able to with
stand the temptation of govern
ment subsidy and yield to what
ever government supervision may
accompany the subsidy.”
