CORRECTION
Wednesday’s Emerald contained an important error in the state
ment by W. A. Williams, assistant professor of history, on what
the effects on the cold war of Joseph Stalin’s death would be.
The complete statement should have read:
“Stalin’s death would provide no solution to the cold war. Consid
erable evidence indicates that he has consciously Withdrawn from the
routine of ruling for some time past. I see no solid foundation for the
easy assumption, made in some quarters, that executive power cannot
be transferred in the Soviet Union.
“Stalin’s keen awareness of the balance between war and peace is
perhaps the most serious casualty to the world. For if the Republican,
(not Russian) administration should seize Stalin’s death as an oppor
tunity in which to attempt to implement its avowed objectives of ‘lib
eration’ and “roll-back’, there is, in my opinion, a strong chance.that
such action would provoke World War III.”

Urey Predicts
Better Theory
Of Solar Origin
Chemical Facts Said
Important Evidence
The study of the origin of the
solar system will always be too
simple, Dr. Harold C. Urey told a
ballroom audW-nce Thursday night,
because we will never be able to re
produce, except in sketchy form,
a description of the origin.
Urey, distinguished service pro
fessor at the University of Chi
cago, made the prediction that
within the next five years there
will be a description of the origin
to which we all will readily as
cribe.
He noted two sources for the
! evidence of present theories about
the solar system's origin — what
may be seen on the surface of the
moon and the chemical facts which
remain. What we see on the sur
face of the moon, Urey said, pre
sents a fossil record of the phys
ical system. He said similar events
no doubt were occurring at the
i same time in the rest of the sys
tem.
The moon, he stated, was bom
: barded by a number of substantial
objects. The largest of these ob
jects being about 150 miles in di
ameter. The explosive effects of
these bombardments produced the
round craters on the surface, he
said.
Urey stressed the chemical evi
dence as being most important.
Collisions, heat, noise, movement
of gasses, falling of objects can
not be observed but the thermo
dynamic properties of the chemical
substances left can be and are
now being studied, he said.

'THE INDIVIDUAL VOTER'
-T- *
Senate to Study
Primary Change
"An open primary in the ASUO
elections would give the individual
voter a wider range in determining
which candidate he wants nomi
nated,” state Don Collin, senator
at-large, in submitting to the
ASUO senate at its meeting Thurs
day night a proposal to set up such
a system.
Under Collin's proposal, any vot
er would be able to choose the poli
tical party’s ballot of his choice.
The preferential voting system and
the Australian ballot, as provided
in the ASUO constitution, would
be used in this election. Pat Dig
nan, ASUO president, appointed
; Collin to head a committee to
I study this problem and report back
to the senate.

IFC Holds Discussion
On Deferred Rushing
A discussion of deferred rushing
and talks by Len Casanova, head
football coach, and Robert Vagner,
director of the University band,
highlighted the Inter-Fraternity
Council meeting Thursday.
The question of deferred living
atiu rushing was brought up twice
during the meeting. The first time
occurred when Casanova was talk
ing to the group about treatment
of high school seniors, particularly
athletes, who were visiting the
campus. He thanked the fraterni
ties for their cooperation, but
warned that some seniors had
been scared away from Oregon by
the reception they received in the
houses.
When asked if he felt that the
system of deferred living had had
a negative effect on influencing
high school seniors, Casanova i e
plied that the question had “never
come to my attention, not even in
coaches' meetings.”
The second discussion arose out
of expressed dissatisfaction with
the system of deferred rushing as
it now stands. One member of the
council stated that he believed that
there are two fundamental prob
lems now—dirty rushing during
fall term and that only one-third
of the eligible freshman men go
through rush week.
During the discussion, several
, ideas were expressed by council
members. Among the suggestions '
were: have open rush all year
lopg; that a fall term rush week
would give freshmen a greater in
centive toward making grades;
1 hat a fall rush would split the
freshmen and hurt the dormitory
counseling program as it is now'
set up, and that the "hands off"
policy now followed by the houses
is completely "unrealistic.”
Dick Morse, IFC president, ap
pointed a committee of five men
to investigate the matter and re
port back to the council. He rec
ommended that they read the re
cently released alumni report on
the "living in" program. ^
At tlie opening of the meeting,
Vagner spoke to the group on tlie
problem of personnel for the band.
He asked for suggestions from the
council on how to improve the
band.
Morse reminded the group that
open rushing for winter term end's
Sunday night and that no man
may be pledged until April 13. He ^
also lead a statement from the
office of student affairs stating j
that no freshman may be excused I
from any part of his board bill by |
working as house by tn a fia- |
ternity. 1
