Civil Service and Rally
rJpiIE extent of the rally committee reorganization
mended to the ASUO by a special investigating commit
tee should not be construed as a direct thrust at this year’s
rally group. The demand for reform in the rally committee
setup has been growing through several years.
This was another attempt to eliminate some of the faults
and criticisms which have centered around the rally com
mittee for four or five years. In the opinion of the men who
drew up the program each of the many points was designed
to eliminate some sore spot in the old organization.
Pat Keller, head of this year’s group, was one of the mem
bers of the special committee. Pat, more than anyone else,
knew what was wrong with the present group. He cooper
ated to the fullest to help get the rally committee back on
a stable, respected basis. If Pat’s attitude is reflected by
the rest of the committee then it is safe to say that this
year’s rally squad was in favor of the change.
# # #
'JpiIE new plan can do much for both the ASUO and the
rally committse. If it eliminates the cries of “graft”
which have often been heard in connection with the rally
squad, then it will save the ASUO a great many headaches.
By so doing if will make the rally squad more respected
by the students and more deserveing of their cooperation.
The provision for a well-kept budget was added to insure
uniformity in all financial affairs. By going to the ASUO
office in MacArthur court any student will, at any time, be
able to see just where the rally committee is spending its
money. By checking this budget, too, the student will be
able to determine the incomes of the group.
The subdivision on appointments requiring the selection
of the chairman of the rally committee by the third week in
January and the others by the fourth week was designed to
keep rally appointments from being a political football. If
these appointments are made before the spring elections the
positions cannot be promised to faithful supporters.
If the program goes through the present ASUO executive
committee will have taken a step towards “civil service” in
positions at Oregon.
A Fifth Class Is Okay
^^REGON’S graduate students are going “to get a break.”
At least they are if present plans for the formation of a
graduate class go through.
Indications that the graduate students are interested are
not lacking although some are opposed to the proposed or
ganization, of course. It is seldom possible to obtain complete
unanimity. But a sufficient number of the graduate students
are interested to warrant, we believe, the formation of a
separate class or other organization for the graduates.
After all, there is no real reason why the graduates
shouldn’t have a group of their own if they wish one. They
are iu a separate classification from other students on the
campus and therefore deserve to have an organization
specifically for themselves.
Naturally, some of the graduate students, who are com
pletely engrossed in their studies or other activities, protest
that they have no time for such an organization. Probably
they are right. The yshould know. But, fortunately, they
have the right to refuse to participate in the new class if
they prefer. The organization will be for those who have
time for it and wish such activity.
* # #
HP HE proposal that the new class should have representa
tion on Ihe student executive committee is another ques
tion. (iraduate students are forced to buy the educa
tional activities car 1 and pay the same fees as undergradu
ate students and therefore deserve the same consideration
and benefits. But, at present, the status of the voter in
student body elections is very unsettled.
If the vote goes with the educational activities card, as
has been proposed, the graduate students will have the same
right to vote as other students unless they specifically were
excluded. It' they have the same right to vote as other stu
dents they have sufficient representation.
If, however, the vote is put on some other basis or grad
uate students are specifically excluded then they deserve
further ropresontatiion. If they are deprived of the privilege
of votiug in regular student body elections then they should
be allowed to elect a representative to the executive com
mittee from their own ranks.
At any rate, the proposed organization ecu do uiueh real
good ou the Oregon campus. —H. 0.
Plans for a complete reorganization of the Oregon rally
committee have been drawu up and will be presented to the
executive committee in the near future, according to a recent
Emerald story.

Some Doubts on Disraeli
<<rjMIE American democracy may ultimately decide tlie fate
of the two Americas and Europe. America is the pre
destined leader of those states—perhaps a federation of
states or nations—which will accept the reign of law.”—Dis
raeli.
We don’t know when Disraeli made the above remark or
what circumstances brought it out, but Ernest Jaekh has
used it in an article, “Inside and Historic Triangle,” in the
January Survey Graphic. Mr. -Jaekh seems to feel that Dis
raeli’s remark has far-sighted and rather obvious application
to our current explosions.
Disraeli was probably emphasizing some purely local point.
In his day he was concerned over the conditions of demo
cratic representation in England, lie wanted quality repre
sentation as opposed to mere quantity of votes. lie seemed
to fear the unthinkingness of the submerged tenth, and to
doubt their capabilities in judging the government.
* # *
J.JE was for a more aristocratic democracy, one with strong
organization, but one that need not fall into bureau
cracy. Once he asserted that liberal opinions should “pro
tect us alike from individual tyranny and popular outrage.”
He wanted to protect the solidarity, the unity of his nation,
but not through appeals to the man in the street, or by treat
ing labor other than conservatively.
As leader of the Tory protectionist squires, Disraeli’s
political policies were strictly imperialistic. ’• lie made Great
Britain half owner of the Suez eanal and proposed that Vic
toria be made empress of India. After that he was made Lord
Beaconsfield, retired from public life, and got $50,000 for
his “Endymion.”
It seems rather strange, that Disraeli, champion of “lebens
raum” for England, holder of the torch for solidarity of
British government, and rule of Ihc masses, not by them,
should be cited as a guiding light to us who, by voice at
least, are now denouncing his main themes—dressed, as they
are, in a different country, and acting, as they are, in a dif
ferent setting, 1941. —P. E.
Parade of Opinion
By Associated Collegiate l’ress
Few subjects have inspired the columns of comment in
the nation's college press that have poured florth s^ice
ASCAP and the radio networks terminated relations.
Music, it seems proved once again, is a prime factor in
the collegians’ existence, and editorial reaction, for the most
part, has been clear-cut.
The Harvard Crimson in an analysis of the dispute points
out that the main line of defense for the American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publishers “is the fact that in
the mid-twenties its right was recognized under the copyright
law to assess broadcasters for etherizing its music. The
society was for a while satisfied with a five per cent cut.
But when networks incorporated and, finding themselves
not liable to royalty fees, proceeded to juggle their books
so as to lessen the amount paid by individual stations, ASCAP
began to feel double-crossed. Hence the new contracts plac
ing a seven and one-half per cent dent on income from all
chain programs. “On the other side of the musical fence,”
continues the Crimson, “stand the networks, arguing that
ASCAP has already dug too deeply into radio’s coffers and
now seeks to pursue its advantage. Furthermore, they say,
charges should be made upon the music presented, with no
fee blanketing all sponsored broadcasts.”
The Daily Kansan sees some good in the controversy, but
closes on a note of impatience: “You may have to go to the
“Camptown Paces’ two or three times a day, but you do
get to hear some of the really fine things of Stephen Foster
that were formerly buried under the avalanche of popular
music. Even so, we'd rather have our choice of the whole
shebang. So boys, please settle the squabble and let’s get
buck to work.
The Syracuse Daily Orange, the Cornell Daily Sun, and
the Daily Nebraskan resent the public's being “taken in”
by the whole situation. The Sun says that “again the ugly
head of the interelass struggle has risen, and meanwhile the
people of the United States are suffering as usual.” The
Nebraskan feels that “ASCAP's monopoly seems not too
healthy a thing,” and finds that “music lovers are getting
at Bill for not having what they want and at ASCAP for
denying them the right to hear their favorite songs.”
The Daily Iowan hazards a guess that the public will force
the networks to effect a settlement. “Eventually those of us
who really enjoy our radio music will beeomo tired of Stephen
Foster, et al, and unless the new BMl can supply us with
an increasing number of GOOD popular, semi-popular and
classical tunes to our liking, ASCAP will win its battle with
the networks, an increase in radio rates for its music, and the
blessings of music-loving Americans who care nothing about
the economics of the battle but who insist upon their musical
favorites. The fairness of ASCAP s demands we w ill not
discuss. Our only conviction now is that the day is-approach
ing when ASCAP music w ill return to the networks, and sev
eral millions of air-minded Americans will have brought it
about.”
Back at Harvard, the Crimson concludes: “Just which
party capitulates is a question to be answered by the listen
ing public. If America’s 50,000,000 radio sets start turning
more and more to ASCAP-eoutraeted independent statiions,
and advertisers follow- the trend, the networks will have to
throw in the towel. But if the combination of new BMI,
old American and foreign tunes suits listeners' tastes, the
Society of Composers w ill find itself in an awkward position.
Whatever the battle's outcome, American music should
emerge with a new lease on life '

From
All Sides
By MILDRED WILSON
In a survey of campus opin
ion recently conducted by the
Stanford Daily, 43 per cent of
the students questioned blamed
ASCAP for the current radio
music dispute which is causing
the death of “Jeanie With the
Light Brown Hair” and the dis
traction of the American radio
audience. Closely following 38
per cent of the cross section
said- that the National Associa
tion of Broadcasters and BMI
should share the blame equally
with ASCAP. Only 19 per cent
accused the broadcasters and
BMI as being solely at fault.

neither dangerous nor difficult,
for his only duty consists of
staying locked in the office of
the department from 7 o'clock
at night until 6:30—studying,
listening to his portable radio,
and even sleeping when he
wishes.
His greatest desire is to own

While the squabble in the
house of representatives over
the Roosevelt dictator bill,
more popularly known as the
lend-lease bill, held the spot
light on the political front, two
_little news items
Cummings
came over the
wire last night
that intrigue
me.
The first was
about a war de
partment esti
mate that by
June 15 there
will be stationed
at army posts,
camps, and stations in the con
tinental U.S. a total of 1,317,
000 persons. Figures are always
fascinating when there is a
possibility that the reader may
be one of the units.
The estimates figure on 48,
100 at Fort Lewis, Washington;
1,800 at Portland; and 1,300 at
Vancouver barracks, Wash.
From Canada
The other item has to do with
military training in Canada.
I don’t know much about it
but reading between the lines of
the story, which was date-lined
from Ottawa, it looks like the
Canadians haven't got conscrip
tion up there, or at least that
it doesn’t cover the same broad
age group as it does in this
country.
The story says that Prime
Minister MacKenzie King has
announced that military train
ing for 21-year old male Canad
ians will be extended from one
month to four months. It adds;
“To date all men called up for
military training have received
only one month’s instruction.’’
One Group Only
The story goes on to explain,
that the four month training
will apply only to the 21-year
old class unless that group
proves smaller than the govern
ment expects.
“At the end of four months,
unless the recruit volunteers and
is accepted for some active unit
in which there is a suitable va
cancy, he will be posted to a
reserve unit. He will return to
their Memorial building into a
student center, complete with
fountain, tables and dancing
facilities.
Present plans call for a long
fountain along the west wall of
the lounge, which will serve
sandwiches as well as regular
fountain drinks. It was also indi
cated that the possibility of a
horse-shoe shape was being in
vestigated. Tables will be placed
at each end of the lounge and a
space in the center of the room
will be left for dancing to music
provided by a nickelodeon. Cig
arette and candy machines will
also be installed for the student
convenience.
The total expense for the pro
ject is not expected to run over
$6,000.

additional training.”
For a nation already at war,
it looks as if Canada is taking
Ihe situation more calmly than
some of the leading U.S. states
men.
Debate was hot and heavy in
the house of representatives
yesterday when the lend-lease
bill hit the floor. The controver
sial measure started through the
mill with the adoption of a rule
that provides for three days of
general debate and no limitation
on amendments from the con
gressmen.
Bill to Pass
The house speaker, Sam Ray
burn, D., Tex., predicted the
house would pass the bill this
week with a margin of 100 to
125 votes.
Representative Everett Dirk
sen, a republican from Illinois
clashed with Sol Bloom, demo
crat from New York and chair
man of the foreign affairs com
mittee, over Bloom's weekend
conference with Lord Halifax,
British ambassador.
Dirksen criticized Halifax's
talks with house and senate
leaders as “extraordinary pro
cedure” and wanted to know
what was discussed. Bloom
termed the inquiry “improper”
and said: “If the gentleman
wants to get in trouble and be
suspicious about what any na
tion is doing, that is the way to
do it.”
Philip F. LaFollette testified
against the bill in a senate hear
ing, saying Britain would be
“wise” to make peace when she
wants to since she can not win
“without the help of an Ameri
can expeditionary force and
since no American spokesman
offer such aid.”
He warned against a situation
in which Britain might nego
tiate a peace with Germany and
Italy and the United States
would be left “alone at war
with all the world.”
