The King-rat Would Bt
"Coty"-If He Exitted
Of course there Is no such
thing, but there are those who
believe that distributed over
this earth are at least two
dozen "king-rodents," and
from this nucleus, all rats are
descended.
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.

obediance in a crisis could
generate unprecedented po
litical and economic conse
quences, in the opinion of
Arthur I. 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
