+ EMERALD EDITORIALS + Hold, Enough! Saturday night's game in Portland with tlie Washington Huskies will give Oregon students their first opportunity to see their grid warriors in action this season. From all indications it should be a tough game, and possibly a very close one. Thinking of a tight game with Washing ton, reminds us of the last time the Ducks and UW played in Portland two years ago. At that time the two teams were considered a toss-up and rivalry was high, as it usually is when Oregon and Washington play. The Huskies had a little bit the better of it on the playing field and emerged from the contest with a 14-6 victory. Rut it was not the closeness of the game which makes us remember that particular tussle. It is what happened after the game which makes it stick in our memory. Several hundred Washington rooters were on hand for the game and at its conclusion they jubilantly tore onto the playing field in an effort to tear down the Oregon goal post. Naturally this brought an immediate response from the Duck rooting section and within minutes an aU-out free-for-all was in progress. Fists were flying in all direc tions before policemen could squelch the ‘‘riot'' and two or three men from each school ended up on the ground, listening to the birdies tweet. Even one of the Oregon players got in on the fighting. The whole scene was rather deplorable to observe. This year the rivalry once again will be at a high pitch. Because of the Husky rec ord to date, scores of Washington rooters will make the trip to Portland for the game. And without a doubt, at the end of the con test, win, lose or draw, they will swarm onto the field and renew- efforts to down that Oregon goalpost. If Oregon students run to the scene in an effort to put up a rowdy defense, another brawl is sure to ensue. What would be much better for all con cerned, and would give the school a much better name we might add, Would be a peaceful settlement of the matter without fisticuffs. Don’t get us wrong! We are not advocating letting the goalpost go. Heaven forbid! that is the worst sin that any college rooting section can commit, allowing sup porters of a visiting team to tear down their goalpost. But what we would like to see is the mat ter settled by kind words and persuasion rather than fists and brute force. The whole thing almost always starts out as a joke, so just do your best to keep it that way in stead of letting tempers get out of control. Try your best to settle with the Huskies peaceably ami then, it it is still no use, let MacBeth’s final speech in the Shakespeare play guide you on: “hay on, Mac Duff (Huskies), and darn'd be him that first cries, bold, enough!"—(B.K.) Elephantine Field Day The medical reports on President Kisen hower’s health, and the statements of heart specialists are encouraging. It now seems possible that the President will recover fully after a period of convalescence, or at least will be able to take a firm hold on the reins of government before his term expires. But history shows that whenever a great man loses some of bis powers, even tem porarily, there are always many smaller men waiting eagerly to seize bis mantle and put it on. on the arrogant assumption that it will fit. 'Phis has not happened yet in Kisenhow er's case, but there are signs that it soon may. After the first flood of “get-well” mes sages to the President, a few of the politic ians immediately reverted to type. They began To push their ambitions. The panic within the Republican party, and it can only be described as panic, as a result of the President’s illness, has con tributed to this condition. In its search for a presidential candidate to succeed Eisen hower, assuming the latter does not run in 1956, the Republican party is forced to con sider nearly everyone in the party. The re sult is a field day for all ambitious Repub licans. The salvation tor the country, and for the Republican party, seems to lie in the tre mendous mass support that Eisenhower commands. With this personal support be hind him, he will probably be able to push most of his program through, from his hos pital bed if necessary. This same support may enable him to keep all the departments, bureaus and agen cies of the government under firm control, and to continue with the great leadership he has given this country for nearly three years.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Army Scandal Changes Outlook For Indonesia's First Elections By J. M. Roberts Of the Associated Press Less than a year ago Indo nesia appeared to be heading in to the Communist camp. Her Nationalist government was playing footsie with the Communists in the same fashion which proved fatal to so many young governments after the war. If the Communists did not take over directly, it seemed likely that they would win in the republic’s first elections, which begin Friday. The situation has changed considerably since the Nation alists were ousted from the government over an army scandal last month. Now a coalition of Moslem parties is being given a chance to win and start Indonesia on the road to democracy. The chief Moslem party, Mas i t I * S I jumi, which now controls the government made no intensive campaign prior to its rise to power only a few weeks ago, but it is estimated that 90 per cent of the people are Moslems, which tends to compensate for the late start. The Communists, on the other hand, have been hard at work throughout the six-year life of the republic. They have infiltrated every hamlet, and promised everything; increased wages, better living conditions, financial reform of the gov ernment. Their campaign has been almost identical with that conducted by the party before the recent elections in Andhra province of India. But the Reds lost in Andhra, and now they may lose in Indo nesia. Unlike the United States, where the results of nationwide til At*.-* « elections are usuallly known within a few hours after the polls close, it could be six months before the outcome can be de termined. This is because of poor com munications with hundreds of equatorial islands comprising the republics, and because the voting will be by stages in the widely separated parts. The East-West cleavage which has agitated Indonesia as it has the rest of the world is not a clearcut issue in the elections. The Communists are, of course, violently anti-Western, while the present government, while hard ly pro-Western, is nevertheless satisfactory to the West. However, all 190 parties — there are several major Moslem groups as well as the National ists and Communists and scores of splinters—follow the Nehru neutralist line. j l <■ ; § j | < . , The Huskies . 1 5 "1 hear they play an unhalaneeat Cuslinie Ahs’t.
