Chant Her Glory Oregon HTODAY Oregon rooters will pack up their bags and begin what will probably be the greatest exodus of students ' from the campus this year. With a battle cry of “On 1o Port land” the Wcbfoot congregation will move on the Rose City with a determination to make it Oregon conscious. The migration will begin early in the morning with a lew early birds jumping the gun in their rush to get started. By lunch several chairs at tin; table will be vacant and by the time that the evening sun hides itself behind the horizon the movement will be almost complete. All thoughts of education, of books, lectures, and professors will vanish during the weekend as king football adjusts his crown to fit. Even the war in Europe, and thoughts ol con scription, and the future of the college generation will take a back seat while students forget and relax for a couple of days. # * * DY the time Portlander's turn on their lights tonight \Yeh foots will have captured the city. A pre-game rally will take over Portland's Broadway as the band, students, and friends of the University stand to sing “Mighty Oregon.” “Beat Washington” will echo all up and down the well lighted thoroughfare. Just as “Mighty Oregon” will be the theme song of all Portland, so the University will be in the minds of the city. The actions of the students there will reflect somewhat on the character of the institution. This is not meant as a sermon to a group of high school students. If is merely a reminder that fun can be had without injuring others—that the rights of others should be respected. These few brief chances to “blow off steam have become a part of modern college life—perhaps an essential part. "Without them the daily rigor of classes and of studies might become unbearable and we would be the last to advocate their abolishment. it is better to blow off than to blow up. This Matter of Grades TP (hcoretical ideas as to proper study rodtines and tlieir eonscquenl values were to l>e aeeepled wholeheartedly, il would be expeeted that every hoy or girl who dons a Greek pin at Oregon is setting himself up to he a I ’hi Beta Kappa. - Odd it is, then, that sorority and fraternity grade's are com paratively lower than those of independent organizations. For it is practically a universal campus rule that pledges have their time budgeted for them as far as study routines go. Coeds particularly are counselled by upperclassmen to ■ be in the library from eight or nine o'clock in the morning until four in the afternoon—except when their classes are in session. “Coking" between classes is strictly forbidden. On the other hand, independents have no study rules. Their time is their own, and each student living in a dorm or co-op is expected to arrange his own study program as he sees fit. A large percentage of people in these organizations work for a living . . . and have less time to budget. # # # JT certainly cannot he true that just because one possesses the funds necessary for fraternity membership, his mental capacity is lower, or that he is less capable of comprehending college-taught material. Indeed psych and prep ratings will prove this is not t rue. Not a little puzzling to those who slop to think about the condition is the success of a self responsibility program for freshmen in one group, and a necessity for an executive-ar ranged schedule iu another. If il is not the fault of the instructor; if it is not because the courses are too hard ; if the mental capacity of a fra I entity member is on a par with that of the independent . . . where then lies the need for the lime dole? It would appear that environment is the answer. Not the environment facilities connected with food or room furnish ings, but the spirit of "brotherhood" and predominance of common interests that reigns iu a fraternal organization, (lathered under one roof are 10 or d() people, from similar backgrounds and with like interests. A bond exists. What each member does as au individual is inadvertently tied up with “the house.’’ * # * JX a boarding house arrangement with lew compulsory regulations, there is a greater possibility of pursuing one's own path without interruption. There is less Knitting of a unified group, depending on one another. ill sending their freshmen to the library, and in placing them on study tables, houses are admitting an inherent weak ness. Although studying and high grades are required for initiation ami fostered at all times, sororities and fraternities appear to realize that there is a soeal emphasis in their type of organization that must he eouuteraeted with speeiat atten tion to stringent stud\ rules for freshmen. It is too easy to make the social element all-important, without proper guidance. It’s the Greeks' argument that the library is the logical place to begin proper study habits. And the library staff cin nie>rl • mutter m its beard and go on being "nursemaids to freshmen.”—HA. ,. , * Onceover Lightly...

International Side Show By IUDGELY CUMMINGS Kaiser Wilhelm and old Bis mark once shared a grandiose dream of a German empire stretching from Berlin to Bag dad. Last night it looked like an Austrian-born postcard painter might be taking steps towards making that dream a reality. As tension in the Balkans in creased (that phrase slips eas ily off the typewriter) there were signs in half a dozen capi tals that the barges full of Nazi troops which slipped down the Danube river near Belgrade, Yugoslavia on their way to Ru mania yesterday were the be ginning of Hitler’s “drang nach osten” (march to the east). Bulgaria and Greece lie di rectly across the path which Germany must take to go through Turkey to the rich near east. Yugoslavia lies in the way if Italy participates. The little countries were re ported alarmed, with Bulgaria calling new troops to strengthen her frontiers and Yugoslavia worried by the Italians, who are playing war games along her borders. Air raid shelters were being thrown up in Bucharest, capital of Rumania, while British dip lomats were reported burning secret correspondence in prepa ration for flight to Istanbul if the open rupture comes between Britain and Rumania. Somebody must have tipped Roosevelt off that a break is impending, for yesterday he is sued an order freezing all Ru manian funds in the United States. About a hundred million dollars is involved. Similar ac tion was taken to investments by France, Holland, Belgium, etc., but only after actual inva sion began. Maybe FD is jump ing the gun. German quarters blamed ru mors of a “drang nach osten” on British propaganda, saying the ^"TISIIUKM”w,», $'/ia( bleating a Sfen&adct (’ TYLE C-1414 (C stands c C' for "Collegiate” — de signed by LEON—inspired by *JUDY GARLAND . . .

BROADWAY, NrW YORK CHY Nazis have no desire to disturb the Balkan peace since their welfare this winter may depend upon a flow of supplies from the Danubian basin. They say the military moves are “precau tionary.” Meanwhile Russia remained the big question-mark. The bear was silent, but it is ques tionable if the Soviets are will ing to let Germany control the Dardenelles, oven if they can get it away from Turkey. The Turks have been playing both ends against the middle, mak ing overtures now to the Brit ish, now to the Russians, and their position is not enviable. Nor, for that matter, are the positions of many another peo ple in this mad world. Ajneri cans in the Orient were kicking about high steamship fares to the United States. Estimates placed passenger rates from S$230 to $500 per person, with another $1,200 freight charges t if they move all their household I goods. | In Shanghai, somebody com mitted a hatchet murder on a gentleman named Fu Tsung Yao, the wealthy Japanese-ap pointed mayor of Shanghai. This acted as an unsettling in fluence, naturally. And in darkest Africa, where one would expect peace and quiet, a couple of Frenchmen are getting ready to fight each other. General Charles de Gaulle of the British-backed 'free French" faces General Maxime Weygand, who is sticking to the Vichy regime headed by Petain. The prize is one quarter of the African continent. That’s right, it’s wonderful . . . peace.
