He added that this is the first time at the University that registration of voters was car ried out by students.

Kincaid Leads Thirteenth In Pedestrian Crossings By DOUG SEYMOUR Corners of Thirteenth street are not favorite crossing spots for Webfoots, a fifteen minute survey at the corner of Thir teenth and Kincaid, showed Thursday. From the period of 1:45 to 2 p.m. there were ten Ducks who crossed Kincaid for every one who crossed Thirteenth. From these figures it is assumed that most students cross the Uni versity’s main bisecting avenue in the middle of the block rather than at the corner. A total of 697 persons crossed either Thirteenth or Kincaid during the survey period. Six irresponsible ones jaywalked. Pedestrians were not the only traffic on Oregon’s busy corner. There were 196 cars which passed during the fifteen minute period and also 32 trucks and one motorcycle. Colonel Reed Describes European Trek to Class Speaker Charges Communists in Germany With Former Nazi Propaganda Tactics By JACK L. BILLINGS Col. Robert W. Reed, former Army public relations officer and present news editor and military affairs commentator for the Kansas City Star, described his recent invitational tour of Europe Friday before Dean George Turnbull’s senior editing class in journalism. Colonel Reed and several other prominent newspaper men Employment Office Offers Student Jobs There is no dearth of jobs for college students who desire part time work, according to Lucile G. Parsons, manager of the United States employment service office in the campus YMCA building. “We have more jobs than we are able to fill,” Mrs. Parsons an nounced Friday, “and occasionally one goes begging because there is no one to take it.” She invited job seeking students to contact her of fice and to leave telephone number and class schedules so they may be reached quickly. Veterans’ wives may also obtain full or part-time employment through the campus office, and em ployers are invited to place orders there. Among offers currently avail able are: night work at a local ho tel, an evening service station job, stable work, a full-time printer’s position, weekend resort work, full time sewing, soliciting on commis-, sion, and janitor, laundry, and foun tain jobs. The average pay for part-time work is usually 75 cents to a dollar an hour, Mrs. Parsons said. Appli cants who can fill skilled or profes sional positions are also needed, she added. left the states in April of this year and returned in June after visiting the occupation zones of Germany and' sections of nearby countries. The party was provided with guides and escorts by the Army and the Allied Military Government. Returning with an apparently deep impression of propaganda efforts of the Russian government, Colonel Reed made it clear that the Russian zone of occupation was fast becoming a political segment of the Soviet Union and might soon be so far divorced from the other zones as to make a consolidation impos sible. “The American peple have turned their backs on one of the biggest problems in the world today,’’ he said. "We have no understanding of the techniques of propaganda as formerly practiced by the Nazis and in practice today by the Commun ists.” He observed the Russians to be exteremely uncooperative in Berlin and tyrannical in their own zone of occupation. He pointed out that Germany is used to a master and may be ripe for Communism. Hei stated that Communism today is not what it was in the time of Wh,rx and Engels. “It is totalitarianism.” Colonel Reed’s son, Bob Reed, is a sophomore in journalism at th® University.
