It can be said to be effective, adequate, compact. It can also be said to be unfair and plagued with bad timing. The fact that it is unfair is a dilemma about as easily solved as the Southern Negro question, but the time factor could be more readily improved. Rushees and fraternity members are expected to shake hundreds of hands, memorize a seven-day supply of conversa tion keynotes, remember everybody's name, and decide who should associate with whom for two or four years all in one week. Here's the worst part: this frantic social schedule has to be combined with the classroom schedule with the result that failures are at a peak and the infirmary has a full house. Nobody should be expected to go through this pointless-five program and come out with his head above average. Perhaps some of this rush could be alleviated, thereby wiser decisions and wiser grades made, if sorority rushing were added to orientation week and fraternities waited until winter quarter to pledge new members. There are those who will argue against the orientation ad denum on the grounds that the new girls wouldn't have a chance to meet the seniors; therefore, how could any intelli gent sorority choice be made? Well, the truth of the matter is this: nobody knows anybody anyway since old coeds are not allowed to exchange anything but the most scanty greet ing until after rushing. And since delayed rushing would be impractical in sororities because of the two-year membership, why not kill two problems with .one week orientation during the day and rush parties at night? This might eliminate a great deal of classroom claustrophobia later in the year. In the case of fraternities, a freshman needs at least three months to assimilate college life without the interference of any outside force. And because he must belong to a fraternity for four years, a more prolonged period for consideration is necessary. This extended rush system would also eliminate the double burden of studies and rushing crammed into one week. Intermittent rush sessions throughout the fall quarter are the answer to better fraternities and students. Express Yourself Editor: - I was shocked, to say the least, by Mr. Toledano's article Sunday written under the titile, CITI ZENS FOR EISENHOWER, in which he refers to the Demo cratic Party as being socialist, led by pseudo-intellectuals. Rightly, the present campaign is concerned with a question about which every "Red blooded" American should ex amine his conscience: the ques tion, freedom versus slavery. Being a native white Southerner, a North Carolinian, I also am as concerned as should every 22 Hi!" : 222 222 WW' "WMW' MM A1 43 45 22 2 -, 50 51 52. 53 7 W'ss' m Mil WT 1 1 1 1 HORIZONTAL 1. unaccom panied 6. lost color 11. demonstrates 12. peaceful 14. note in scale 15. lack 17.

Most Southern states have made extreme progress from legal slavery towards equal rights, but .what about those states in which paranoids hap pen to control? What about those few states in which illegal slavery is still practiced must we not protect those persons, at least from torture, who are bound by shackles?

No wonder American have consistently rejected the G.O.P. for the past two decades. But no, the Republicans don't want you to look at what they have done in the past; they ask you to forget about '31 and their last administrations. How else can the American public know what to expect from a Republi can administration except by examining what they have done in the past. Realizing that they couldn't win with a staunch Republi can, the G.O.P. sought out a great military hero (and any one who reads "Crusade in Europe" will attest to this mili tary ability) and brought him from the glamour of Paris to the stockyards of Chicago. There after a bitter battle in which Taf t was even accused of stealing delegates corruption in state machinery, and wanting to re turn to isolationism the scepter of the Republican party was handed to Eisenhower. For the second highest position they chose Richard Nixon, a "fine" senator from California (where else can you find a "finer" sena tor for $18,000). When the Nixon fund was ex posed by the Los Angeles Times "poor" Richard gave a Johnny Ray routine on TV, in which he praised his wife and family, told of how hard it was for him to get along on his salary, and wound up with a stout defense of his dog "Checker". He then called on Stevenson and Spark man to reveal their income tax returns which they did, but "poor" Richard declined to re veal any more. When they called upon him to finish his strip tease, to "take it off, take it off, he replied "I'm not going to show any more." Recently a second Nixon fund of $11,000 was revealed. These "expenses" were shown to have gone for such things as sending out 25,000 Christmas cards, and entertain ing his constituents at dinners. These things he said he didn't want to charge the taxpayers with. Does he think that he has a charge account in Washington to use taxpayer's money? Why didn't "poor" Richard do as John Sparkman did; that is, put his wife to work to help run the office and meet his ex penses. His answer was "I didn't want to keep some other poor secretary out of a job." This is the man whom the Re publicans offer for the second highest position in the nation. If you don't question his in tegrity for accepting these "ex pense" funds, do you not ques tion the judgment of this thirty-nine-year-old Senator from California. Americans will think serious ly before they turn to the Re publican ticket. They remember too well the Republican record. They have seen the General embrace William E. Jenner of Indiana, the man who stood up on the floor of the Senate and under Congressional immunity call George Marshall a "traitor and a living lie." They have seen Eisenhower endorse Joe Mc Carthy, the man who recklessly accused over 200 government employees of being Communists under Congressional immunity and then did not prove a single case. The have seen Eisenhower welcome "poor" Richard Nixon in West Virginia after his Johnny Ray routine and say "that's my boy." Americans will find it diffi cult to turn to a party offering such candidates, and such a re cord. In the Democratic party, which has existed since tho birth of this nation and has fur nished its greatest leaders, Jefferson, Jackson, Wilson and Roosevelt, the record is one of pride. There is a fundamental difference in the philosophies between the two parties and thinking Americans know them. the protecting of human life from those who desire to ex tinguish it, just because the skin of that body happens to be of a different color from our own. May I say that if the alterna tive of CITIZENS FOR EISEN HOWER is voting for a "Socia list" party that is concerned with humaneness, then I am proud to call myself a socialist. In this way, I feel that I have setled the question: Freedom versus Slavery. Daylon Estes The Washington Merry WASHINGTON The other day in St. Paul, I was sitting in the Minnesota club waiting for some friends when I noticed a portrait of Frank B. Kellogg on the wall. Sitting there under that por trait set me thinking about Kellogg's great ambition to out law war, about the problems confronting General Eisenhower, and about the desire uppermost in the minds of most Americans to avoid another war. It makes me feel a bit old to look back on it, but I was a young newspaper reporter cov ering the State Department when Kellogg was Secretary of State under Calvin Coolidge. I thought he did rather a bad job in Nicaragua and Mexico, but he warmed my heart and that of millions when he ne gotiated the treaty to outlaw war. And when he went to Paris to sign his treaty, I persuaded the New York Times to send me with him. En route home, Kellogg's aides cooked up a scheme to keep the treaty out of partisan politics. In this I played a small part. I sent a radiogram from the SS Leviathan to the Editor of the Times asking him to query me as to whether the anti-war treaty would be claimed as a triumph for the Republican par ty or would be considered the bipartisan product of both par ties. The Times complied, I showed the query to Kellogg, and he growled that he certain ly was not going to let his newly signed treaty become a football of politics. HE.

In faGt, it was more important than even I realized, for two days after we landed Kellogg sent for me. At first he seemed sore. "Just what did you say in that story you radioed from the tship?" he, asked. I had a copy in my pocket and showed it to him. He read it and grunted. "The Secretary of Commerce," he explained, referring to Her bert Hoover, "raised hell with me at cabinet meeting. "However, he added, with a wink, "I'm glad you did it." What he had in mind, of course, was the fact that he needed Democratic support to obtain Senate ratification of his treaty. That support was given. Democratic Senators supported him 100 per cent; a few Repub licans opposed; the treaty was ratified. Kellogg died a few years la ter, a broken-hearted man broken-hearted because he knew the great goal he set for man kind, peace, was about to smash on the rocks of Axis greed. But before he died, he came to Washington many times to help and encourage his succes sor, another great Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson Both Kellogg and Stimson, of course, were Republicans, both believed in a bipartisan foreign policy both were men of principle, and -ANO -HA? HAfr WHAT HAPPENS? HE'LL LOSE HIS LIFE AND I'LL GET HIS LUSCIOUS WIFE.:r SHELL BE SO G.RATEFXJLTO ' run r . RESTORING Kl he j 1 ' - Go - Round I was lucky in knowing them both. Later I traveled with. Stimson to London where he did his best not only to limit dangerous riv alry of armament, but to per suade Europe to sign a consul tative, pact. This pact merely pledged that the United States would "con sult" with other nations in case war threatened. There was no other obligation. Nevertheless, a "scoop" which I cabled the Bal timore Sun that such a pact was to be signed, caused Presi dent Hoover to issue a special denial. Simultaneously, his Secretary of State in London was holding a press conference stating that such a treaty would be signed. These two conflicting press conferences illustrate the basic foreign-policy cleavage within the Republican party a cleav age that still continues. It plagued and harassed Stim son all through the Hoover ad ministration. Stimson saw the true goal of the Japanese war lords in Manchuria in 1931, and did his best to stop what he knew was to be the conquest of China. He tried to stop it by using the peace machinery of the League of Nations and the Nine-Power Pact. But Republican isolationists held up their hands in horror. So did Mr. Hoover privately. In deference to the White House, Stimson even had to recall the American Consul General at Geneva from acting as an "ob server" at the League sessions on Manchuria. Eventually, Stimson gave up. -THAT. AFTER "she Rprnvy roc " ACCIDENTAL. DEATH -SHE'LL MARRY ME I'LL CHANGE MY NAME, AND SETTLE Dnww uFOr FN. Express Yourself Editor: The reference made to the execution of 6 million Jews in the recent exchange of letters between Mrs. Scales and Mr. Farber brings a case to mind. I am referring to the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, two Jewish people who were tried for espionage in an at mosphere of press hysteria which undoubtedly made it dif ficult, if not impossible, for a jury to render a fair decision. Many Jewish people feel that this case can set a precedent to deprive them of their civil liberties and their very lives. Even conservative Jewish na tional publications have ex pressed their alarm at the severity of the sentence. The Jewish Day urged that either Supreme Court action or Presi dential clemency be exercised to spare them, while the Jewish Daily Forward termed the death sentence "horrible." It is not only that they were tried in such an atmosphere and as Jews, but ' that for this al leged crime they are sentenced to die. Never before in our history has a civil court given a death sentence for espionage (the charge against the Rosenbergs is for conspiring to commit es pionage). Axis Sallv and Tokyo Rose were given ten years for their crimes and the 8 Nazi saboteurs have already been set free and sent back to Germany. The many discrepancies in the evidence lead to serious doubt that they are guilty at all. The prosecution based its case al most exclusively on the un corroborated testimony of a free lance spy, who by involving the Rosenbergs managed to secure for himself a 15 year sentence which might otherwise have been a death penalty. Further evidence presented was (1) a Spanish Refugee Appeal col lection can be found in the Rosenberg apartment; and (2) a nominating petition signed in 1941 by Ethel for Peter Cac chione, successful Communist candidate for New York City Council (50,000 other New Yorkers also signed this peti tion). Moreover Dr. J. Robert Op penheimer, Dr. Harold G. Urey and others testified in 1945 that there existed no basic atomic . secrets, and that any nation could produce an atomic bomb. Actually the information which the Rosenbergs are charged with selling was of such a crude and scanty nature (as Scientific American and Life Magazine pointed out at the time) that it would be of no use to anyone. Surely such inconclusive evi dence warrants a new trial and a new chance for life for these people, who, if killed, will leave behind them two children, robbed of both parents at a single blow! Unless something is done within a week this is exactly what will happen. Jerome Van Camp But when he retired from the State Department and passed the reins on to the Roosevelt administration, he came to Washington for various confer ences with FDR and Cordell Hull. His ambition was to pre serve a continuous bipartisan foreign policy. THANK NOU.YOKUM FOR GIVING ME A K'S.VJ UFE SORfeV I r-AKJ"r- I LET VOU KEEP YOiinS!-. I I U.4 fflL.
