Solon Attacks
Speaker Rule
As Dangerous
Rinehart Declares
Ban Is ‘Breeder’ Of
Fascism Communism
Attacking the no-polltical-speaker'i
rule aa a potential breeder of fascism
or communism on the university cam-
pus State Senator James A Rinehart
of El Reno told the League of Young
Democrats Thursday night that the
ban would not exist much longer
At the meeting of the league on the
third floor of Rickner's student shop
the probable president pro tempore
of the next state senate and a strong
supporter of Leon C Phillips declared
that the university did not get its
record of educating true democrats
and republicans by driving them off
the campus
Rule May Be Cancelled
Following his speech the senator
said that the rule probably would
"not exist after the appropriations
for the university have been passed
by the next legislature"
"I think If is a sad situation on the
campus of this university that these
meetings should be held off the cam-
pus while other things a lot less Im-
portant are allowed to use the build-
ings” Rinehart asserted
Danger Cited
"If the rule is allowed to exist and
the students are taught that they must
not mention republicans or democrats
they will think tome other party such
as fascism communism and naziam
must be established"
Business men shun politics as dirty
Rinehart said but they always come
to the politician— the man that
carrying the load of government — for
their own particular favors -
Politics I Dnty
"Students of this university must
be allowed to learn politics and the
method of politicians because it will
be their duty to take over the reins
of government in a few years
"In order to keep students interested
in the true epirit of the democratic
party and democratic ideals they must
he allowed to converse openly and not
forced from the campus of the uni
versify"
Thruout hie entire address the El
Reno senator stressed the fact that
The Inter fraternity council at a
meeting Thursday night agreed to at
low the $10 hike in prices charged for
fraternity dances that had been pro-
posed by campus bands
Clyde Patrick president of the
council explained previous opposi-
tion by the council to the increase in
price had been “the manner in whk-h
the raise had been attempted”
After a defense of the plan by Doug
Baker manager of the Ramblers the

France Still
Wants Help
Of Russia
PARIS OcL 6— OP)— Foreign Min-
ister Bonnet intimated Thursday
night before the foreign affairs com-
mittee of th' chamber of deputies
that France still wants the soviet
union's big army on her side despite
any agreement she may reach with
Germany
Bonnet said he "hoped" Russia
would join the projected Internation-
al guarantee of what te to be left
of Czechoslovakia Committee mem-
ben laid he expressed the stand of
the French government
Chancellor Hitler has been report-
ed insistently opposed to Russian
participation In the guarantee
It appeared however the French
and British government had ruled
against exclusion of Russia
The reeding of a telegram from
Hitler to former premier Flandln
caused an uproar at another point
In the committee meeting Hitler
thanked Flandln for his effort to-
ward "complete collaboration be-
tween France and Germany”
Bonnet’s reference to Russia was
Interpreted In conjunction with
that Wednesday of Sir John Simon
in the British commons when Sir
John member of Prime Minister
Chamberlain's "inner cabinet” laid:
"It Is our hope that Russia will
be willing to join in the guarantee
of Czechoslovakia It Is most im-
portant that she should do so"
Flandln a leader of the right in
the chamber acknowledged authen-
ticity of the Hitler telegram and
aid "Permit me to ignore thla inci-
dent" Before the Munich accord
Flandln advocated refusal to honor
France's mutual assistance pledge
to Czechoslovakia

50 Pep Club
Men Declared
Not Eligible
Ruf Neks Will Not
Make Official Trip
To O U-Texas Game
A ruling by the student activities
committee appeared Thursday to have
put a definite crimp in the Dallas
game plans of two campus pep clubs
with the disclosure that approxi-
mately 50 members and pledges or -Ruf
Neks and Jazz Hound have been
declared ineligible for membership in
the organizations
One club the Ruf Neks will not
be able to make the trip an officer
said while the Jazz Hound will Jead
pep activities at the game with a
greatly depleted pledge and member
ship list
Rales Arc Cited
A sudden enforcement of rules re-
quiring grade averages of “C or
better for pledges and members and
making freshmen ineligible was cited
as responsible for the move
Dr 8 W Reaves chairman of the
activities committee said that for
several years the organizations have
not been submitting membership rolls
to be checked in time for football
trips -
Roll Checked Earlier
The rolls were checked earlier this
time however he added creating
the present situation
"We found some names of persons
on the rolls who were not enrolled in
the university" Reaves said
"Then there were some new stu-
dents and a few others with condi-
tional grades of ‘E or T which when
removed will put them bock in club
membership"
Cook Is Rerprisrd
Max Cook Ardmore president of
the Ruf Neka said “this is the first
time anything like this ever has hap-
pened" Cook said hla club was left with
only 20 active members and 28 pledges
At least G5 members and 65 pledges
ordinarily constitute the membership
of the organization he added
Order Is 'Xoa-Existrnt'
"This move leaves the Ruf Neks
order practically non-existent” he
declared He said the organization
was In "good financial condition” it
the time of the activities committee’s
order
Regardless of lastminute develop-
ments the Jazz Hound will leave with
a delegation of 39 on a special bus this
afternoon at 5 o'clock
Huge 10-yard signs will decorate
the sides of the bus when It leaves
