UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
Card Throwers Are a Hazard
“The Texas Longhorns have been passing the hall more this
season than at any time in the past few years. But as throwers
the Orange and "White may yet wind up second best to a hand
ful of their fellow students.
A few thoughtless individuals in t^e flash card section have
been turning the relatively safe enjoyment of watching a foot
ball game into a genuine hazard for peopleJn surrounding sec
tions. The permanent injury just one of those cards is capable
of accomplishing would be a strong argument for the abolition
of the flash card section in the future.
Card students will add their usual colorful touch to our only
remaining home game with A & M. If this unnecessary home
game haazrd is still with us Turkey Day, it could mark the
final appearance of the stunts at a University of Texas foot
ball game.”

A New Political Role for Stevenson ?
Democrats are currently talking about financing radio and
TV appearances by Adlai Stevenson as a spokesman for "the
loyal opposition" during the next four years of Republican rule.
The idea sounds good. Stevenson made an international
name for himself during the campaign with his excellent
speeches and clear-cut analysis. He could do the countrv a ser
vice by presenting the "other side of the picture," the views
of the part)- out of power.
With his reputation established as a man of integrity and
intellectual powers, Stevenson might do much to bring the
American political scene the rational, constructive-type criti
cism of government which has been so often lacking in the past.
Literary Magazine Up to the Students
Hopes for a campus literary magazine received a setback
Wednesday when the Publications board voted to terminate
consideration of the magazine for the present. The arguments
were that there is a lack of student interest and no financial
support for the magazine.
The board did not turn its back on the idea. If student inter
est is evidenced, the board will take up the financial problem.
It's up to Oregon’s creative writers to show the board that
the interest IS there.

ELECTION REACTION
Reports From Western^Germany
Gunther Hartli
DUESSELDORF, Germany
(Special to the Emerald) The
presidential election of the Unit
ed States was a world-wide af
fair. The campaign has paral
yzed, during the last weeks, the
international policy. Further
More, there will be no important
action of any European govern
ment until the inauguration of
General Eisenhower. This simple
fact characterizes the world sit
uation and the relations between
the nations.
German^ got the news of the
election on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at
7:44 a.m. Middle European Time,
when the AP wire serviced Gov
ernor Stevenson's telegram.

Notes to the Editor
© w. n. p.
To the Editor:
We of the campus YWCA ap
plaud the Emerald for its con
sideration of our association’s
emphasis during this week of No
vember 9-15. It is unfortunate
that the editorial stress was plac
ed on funtl-raising, for our cam
pus fellowship will not partici
pate in the material aspects of
the YM-YWCA World Fellow
ship Week (for the YM celtv
brates this week also).
The national student YWCA
along with the student YMCA
has agreed to make its main giv
ing emphasis through WSSF, be
cause the World Student Service
Fund is closer to our own immed
iate concerns as students. The
campus YM-YWCA’s, as do stu
dent Y’s throughout the nation,
find in this week an occasion fore
feeling a part of and praying for
those in other lands who are com
mitted to the purpose and Chris
tian fellowship of the YWCA
YMCA.
Materialists ask: “What good
does this do?” And we, though
we too are a part of the material
istic picture, would answer that
peace will come n&t through fin
ancial contributions only but
through international under
standing. To us international un
derstanding can best be accom
plished through joining hearts
and minds in common concerns,
problems, and aspirations.
Americans dedicate one day to
giving thanks for our many
blessings, yet it could not be as
sumed that Thanksgiving is the
only time when we thank God
with humble and appreciative
hearts. Likewise, the YM-YWCA,
in setting aside a week in which
Y members around the world
pray for world peace and better
understanding among all peoples,
does not indicate that this is our
sole international emphasis. For
the Y’s, it is a year around pro
cess of forums, discussions, get
togethers, and programs evi
dencing Christian growth and
understanding in the area of
world relatedness.
And so we ask again “How
near is a neighbor?” and again
the answer is “A neighbor is as
near as there is understanding
and caring and a common pur
pose!"
Sincerely,
Jackie Wilkes,
President, U of O YWCA
er’s picture and Stevenson's con
cession of defeat. On Thursday
morning the election results were
the number one story of all news
papers. Only the Communist pap
ers buried the news down on page
two.
"Eisenhower Flies to Korea,"
was the general tenor of the
headlines. His victory didn't sur
prise the man on the street. Eis
enhower was the most popular
presidential candidate in Ger
many. Most people regarded him
always in connection with his
NATO job in Paris and his ener
getic drive for an European
army. There was no indication
how strong the appeal of uni
form had touched the Germans
again.
Stevenson Dark Horse
Governor Stevenson was a dark
horse over here. Hut as a civilian
he had many sympathies. He be
came quite famous for iris bril
liant speeches and the fair tr ib
ute he paid to Eisenhower after
his defeat. Jt is unusual in Ger
many to congratulate political
enemies after elections. Never
theless the common man recog
nized the character of the ges
ture and estimated the behavior.
The people were surprised about
the large number of voters. They
regarded it as a great fortune for
the United States that there were
two able men running for tha
office.
Change Expected
The Bonn government and the
opposition hailed the election of
the General. They didn't forget
that Eisenhower had changed his
judgment about Germany very
much in recent years. The British
Foreign Office refused any com
ment until Elsenhower has ap
pointed his cabinet. The hope
that the General will continue the
"Europe first" policy was the
tenor of the French editorials.
Generally speaking, the great
est part of the European news
papers expect with the new Pres
ident a change in the foreign
policy of the United States. There
is widespread scepticism that it
may not be to the advantage of
Europe.

MUN8TKK, Germany (Spec,
ini to tho Emerald) Ah a mat
ter of fact: Hardly anybody in
Germany did believe Unit i ;,
bower would win the pn-si<icnti..|
election.
The reports from tin- U. s. in
t bi‘ lust dayn before Nov. 1 sho.v.
cd that Stevenson obviously g.i ..
eil more and more sympathy. So
one expected at least a ve y
small majority for the Demo
< ratic or the Republican canol
date.
Eisenhower's great victory w i
a surprise to the German people,
but it was received very v !!
One realizes that the general 1 i
had some Important experience s
in foreign policy and that he r.
assisted by able men.
Asia First?
Most of tlie newspapers said n
their comments that U. 8. for
eign policy will become stronger.
They described Eisenhower ax i
realistic energetic personality
Some papers asked the question
in how far the general could neu
tralize the “isolationistic" infl
ence of Taft and expressed th •
possibility that now Asia might
lank first in U. S. foreign affair .
But the majority of the papers
argued the importance of the
European problem within t lie
world situation and concluded
that Eisenhower would not
change the general line of the r.
S. as far as Europe is concerned.
Morse Mentioned
The name of Oregon's Senator
Wayne Morse was also mentioned
in the papers in connection with
the seats in the Congress. One
thinks that he the ''recreant
Republican" will be the "tongne
of the balance" in the decisio <
of the Senate.
Stevenson’s reaction on his de
feat was also noted and com
mented upon. His generous wor l.s
stand, in the opinion of the Ger
man papers, for the fair spirit
which will now dominate be
tween the parties in the handling
of the great policy.

To prove that girls know theiV
football, a girl reporter wrote up
the account of the Michigan
State Normal-Hope college foot
ball game as follows:
‘'During the first quarter neith
er side scored, and there were
some spectacular plays by MSNC
gridders (I heard a fellow bejiind
me say so.)
“Second quarter, Masy came
into our section in her new cash
mere coat, and it was noticeably
colder. Also the team earned a
penalty. That means they had to
go backwards after they’d al
ready gone forward. We girls did
n't understand why, but that's
okay, (cold enough to wear
boots!)
“Two wonderful touchdowns
were scored in the second half:
(No. 64 from Hope was cute, and
No. 32 was hurt).”

in Bellingham Saturday night.
Anyone who remembers being at
