It's a strange and weird be lief. The believers think that all the rats in an area assem ble. They arrive at a "meeting of minds." They decide to es. tablish a "king-rat." The be lievers in the myth are not too clear just how the selec tion is made, but among the rat-members a group is se- lected, consisting of 6 or 60 ratt. Thit telect little group, evi dently In sympathy with the Idea, form themselves Into a circle, heads all pointing out ward and tails toward the center. The tails of all these members are securely tied to gether (that's another point about which the gullible are rather vague). "King-rat" myth believers insist on this, however, and believe that from this group, or othert like it, all the rats In the world will be descended. Sit StUctad There will be a tuUable lo cation telected where "king rat" will be forever placed, and where other rats will tend and feed him and look after hit welfare. "King-rat" la sup posed to be a cozy arrange ment. Poison la used for the successful control of large rat populations. Many towns In Europe are still overrun with rats. In many sections professional rat-catchers still make a busi ness of rodent extermination by using a potent poison In which a "rat-scent" is mixed to make the bait irresistible to rata of both sexet and all ages. It was In such a place that the Pled Piper of Hamelin piped all the rodents into a river where they drowned. When later refused his pay, he then charmed the town's children to follow him into a hill that opened and swallow ed them. That legend, like the "king-rat" myth, still persists. The "king-rat" slory, like the elephant graveyard, are both ridiculous, of course, but they have been believed for centuries. A hundred yrnn from now, when there will be no wild elephants on earth but probably plenty of rats, there wilt be, even then, those who will still believe In (he silly superstition of the "king-rat." Early Admissions Plan Draws 1,585 Eugene - A new early ad missions plan has already re sulted in the acceplance of 1,n85 high school seniors by the University of Oregon for enrollment as college fresh men In the 1!162 fall term. The new plan was approv ed by the state board of high er education at its January meeting for all institutions of the state system. It permits Oregon high school seniors to apply for college admission after the first half of their senior year In high school, if they have a grade average of 25 or heller. The plnn was put Into ef fect hy the state board in or der to assure qualified stu dents as soon as possible that they would be admitted to college aflrr graduating from high school. Students who have received notices of early admission must complete their high school studies and fur nish high school transcripts of grades before enrolling In college.

From the start he made it clear that he was seeking some form of new association between Nyasaland and Northern and Southern Rho desia.

Significantly, there was no mention of Nyasaland, beyond hit comment that he would like "if possible" to see Nyasaland benefit from thit inter-dependence. But by then Nyasaland African leaders had already rebuffed Butler ! by refusing to discuss any j new association until the I present federation it disband jed. Sourcet close to Dr. Hast ings Banda, the Nyasatand I African Nationalist leader, say that at long at the whitet rule Southern Rhodesia any future association will be min imal. No Political Aim They doubt whether Banda would agree to more than a free trade agreement, a postal union and a common air service-and then only or condition that the right of secession it granted to Nyasa land. The association would have no political aim, and Nyasaland would retain firm control of customs, defense. hospitals, education and immi gration. Economic union-and possib ly tome form of political as sociation - between Northern and Southern Rhodesia ap pears to be a matter of com mon tense. The two countries have alwayt had close links, far tloser than the links either had in the past with Nyasaland. Freed of the chronic Nyasaland deficit, there would be $8.4 million a year more in the kitty for international development. The maior snag it that the African nationalist in north ern Rhodesia, are implacably oDoosed to any association with the European-dominated government ol boutnern nno desia. Strong Possibility After October, 1962, there is a strong possibility that the nationalists will rule Northern Rhodesia. The new constitution does not guaran tee a majority for the mili tant United National Inde pendence Party of Kenneth Kaunda, but it virtually en sures in advance that a com bination of anti-federal par ties will hold most of the teats. Whether or not a new as sociation in Central Africa is practical at this stage, the Butler tour has already in. fluenced European thinking in the federation profoundly. In Southern Rhodesia most whites seem to accept the secession of Nyasaland as in evitable. Many say that once Nyasaland goes Northern Rho desia cannot be far behind. rp to i dm life "H 'Vy I apiiaSlii ifeji ' J Standing Rib Roast This week, while thit big BEEF SALE it going on, ! perfect time for you to leem why folks in lhi are lay, "There'i no place like Safeway for Beef."

Waskow, a partici pant in the Institute's Janu ary conference to appraise the suggested shelter pro gram. "There has been little ex amination of the possible ef fects that the creation and operation of a shelter-centered civil defense system might have on U.S. society during peacetime," Dr. Waskow states. "It Is apparent, how ever, that these effects must be reckoned with, whether the usefulness of the system is ever tested or not. During our recent consideration of these effects the conferees felt they could confidently agree that the existence of a shelter-centered civil defense would be a wholly new de parture in U.S. history. Be cause the prospect is without precedent they did not at tempt to produce ironclad predictions of what would happen if the proposed pro gram is carried into effect. They sought rather to define the problems that are likely to develop and at the con elusion of the conference is sued not conclusions but a se ries of questions. They share unanimously the sentiment that the questions are urgent and that action taken without their careful consideration might lead to disastrous and irrevocable consequences. Community Strained Among other questions, the conforees ask their fellow citizens whether we are pre pared, as a people, to accept the possibility that unhappy social and political conse quences will occur if the pro posed civil defense program it Implemented. The confer ees point out that the civil defense effort has already strained the web of commu nity. Some people, for ex ample, have concluded that shelters, public or private, would be useless unless the number of occupants is re stricted. These individuals have accordingly announced their intention to exclude from community shelters neighbors from the next block or casual visitors to town. Suburbia has been pitted against city and one state against another. Such social oitcss cannot be expected to disappear, and indeed it is likely to worsen as the pro gram gets under way and ethnic and racial groups com pete for space In community shelters. "The creation of civil de fense will bring to life in every nook and cranny of the nation special Institutions eco nomically dependent on and deriving power and prestige from the civil deiense pro gram: Government agencies, private builders and sup pliers, a cadre of trained shel ter managers and so on. Would not the mere existence of these groups complicate the task of working out a plan for general disarma ment that would not disrupt U.S. society? Just as civil de fense might affect the course of American foreign policy. so it might change the ways In which the country's tradi tional democratic processes work at home. Would not the civil defense organization be impelled to Invade the pri vacy and liberty of individ uals? It is disquieting, for ex ample, to hear reliable reports from New York, even In the present era, that some high school students who refused to participate in shelter drills have been refused recommen dations to college. Troublesome Question "Of all the questions raised by civil defense, the conferees agreed, the most troublesome and dangerous is the question of how the commitment, onre versed. The civil defense made, could ever be limited or reversed, The civil defense heirarchy - federal, state and local - will be carrying the heavy burden of training a large cadre ot shelter man agers and survival specialists. The trained cadres in turn will have the task of train ing large groups of people to follow orders In a hurry. Once the ta Once the nation to acts for civil defense it would find Itself seeking constantly for new reesons to so act.
