The Germans are beginning to or- ganize. Their organization takes the unlovely form of physical attacks on individual American soldiers in several communities; and General Eistenhower, watching the signs, reports that or- ganized resistance directed against our occupa- tion forces as a whole is now a possibility. The period of German servility is probably ending; or, rather, we are entering a period of competi- tion among several forms of German leadership to capture control of the servile masses. The outbreaks of violence have been sporadic up to this point, and are blamed on German youth, both boys and girls, still largely Nazi, and on German soldiers who have come home from prison camps to find their wives and sweethearts living with Americans. The attacks are local, directed against in- dividuals, or town garrisons, and have not yet coalesced into a zone-wide movement un- der self-conscious leadership. So far they rep- resent only occasional uprisings of the dis- gruntled against the bored, but given enough unemployment, cold and hunger this winter, the movement may soon take a larger and more deliberate form. The obvious answer is repression; but the one axiom established by this war is that repression never represses. The conqueror is compelled wearily to try it, but his every move along the line gives the resisters an added point for their program and for their propaganda. The other method is a kind of bribery; to make jobs, somehow, to bring in food and clothes, an approach which the Germans also tried in one or two spots. We may take this tack, but it is hard to believe it will halt re- sistance, or that it will seem to the people of the place to be anything but a political victory, won by means of threat and menace, as, in- deed, it is. If the burden of the above seems to be that occupation is, at best, a dismal en- terprise, that is probably correct. BUT the thing is further complicated by our re- lations with Russia. Saul K. Padover has shown, in his series of "Nation" articles, how our Military Government officials made whole- sale use of Nazis in the early stages of occupa- tion, partly because of their fear of boleshevism; they shied away from anti-fascists, because they might be reds. (Padover quotes one Military Government official as shouting: "I know these anti-fascists; they are all bandits.") Our Military Government officials do not always show the same tendency to shy away from anti-Russians on the ground that they might be fascists. Anti-Russian sentiment in our zone is becoming bolder; and some Ger- Rah Rah Revives THE cause for it is uncertain, but its arrival is certainly heartily welcomed by all. We doubt that a stray bit of atom bomb has struck the University recently, at least no report of same is anywhere recorded. But it must have been an equally strong force which has knocked back into this campus some of the old RAH RAH spirit for which it was once famous. Not since the pre-war days has such a brisk surge of feeling been registered, as was evidenced by last night's Pep Rally. The opening and successful operation of a stu- dent book exchange is another encouraging move in the right direction. It is this feeling of interest and cooperation on the part of the student body which will serve to foster the healthful growth of our University even as much as its physical re- juvenation and expansion will. We are on the brink of the long awaited post- war era. Just as reconversion is the national pass-word; let it be ours. Now is the time to re- institute those things which the war forced us to abandon. Let's see there-birth, for example, of that undergraduate cheering section identified by its bright gold jackets adorned with a Wol- verine patch. (A few are still around.) It is this sort of thing which gives spark and color to what otherwise might be an ardous campus life. Perhaps it is the return of so many veterans into the fibre of campus life which is serving as this motivating force, for these men, most of them former college students and a good many former Michigan ,men, knew what it was like before the war forced a curtailment in this vital aspect of campus life. But whatsoever the reason, a good beginning has been made-the road ahead is clear-so let's move forward. -Marshall Wallace mans tell our reporters candidly that they look forward to a war between America and Russia in the spring. Thus there is a kind of double movement go- ing on in our zone; while we are attacked, physi- cally, from below, by outright fascists, we our- selves show a certain tendency to reach out to fascist-minded Germans from above, men who are not very different, in essence, from those who lead uprisings against us. That is a hard way to run a railroad. Thus the German problem reflects our world problem, and that is why plans for a "better kind" of occupation of Germany, no matter how clever or ingenious they may be, are somehow always felt to be vaguely unsatisfactory. There is no possibility of a "better" occupation until we resolve our relation with Russia. And here we have just one more illustration of the in- furiatingly sticky quality of the problems of our age; they are all mashed together, in one undigested lump; and it is our sad fate that we have to solve them all to solve any of them. (Copyright, 1945. N. Y. Post Syndicate) FRATERNITIES: Should Vets Reaffili ate? DOGAN ARTHUR, president of the Interfra- ternity Council, has made a plea for all vet- erans to contact their respective fraternities. At the present time, many veterans have returned to campus without contacting their fraternities. The services of the Interfraternity Council have been offered to the fraternities and veterans for the purpose of re-establishing contact between the two. Yet many veterans are reluctant to re-af- filiate because they fear that fraternities have changed, that the fraternities are of inferior quality, that the fraternity members are much too young in comparison with their advanced ages and that the fraternities will not welcome the veteran. No one will argue that the standard of fra- ternities remained constant during the war. With the shortage of male students, many fraternities found the going very difficult. Some dropped out but others managed to survive by one course or another. The usual picture of the war-time fra- ternity envisaged either a house of campus serv- icemen or 17-year olds who would stay for one or two semesters. The average age of the fraternity man was much younger and leadership of fraternities fell on the shoulders of the younger men. But this situation has now changed. The fra- ternities are, at last acquiring a stable mem bership. Leadership is returning to the hands of older and more mature men. Selective serv- ice calls have leveled off resulting in more se- curity for the fraternity man and the fratern- ity. But the veteran still looks at the fraternity members as a bunch of youngsters since their ages may be from two to seven years younger. What the veteran may Aot be considering is that veterans like himself returning to the fraternity will take over the leadership of that fraternity, that these veterans have much in common, in- cluding an interest in their fraternity, and that wtih the veteran influence on campus, the fra- ternities themselves will not be any less affected than any other campus organization. During these days of housing shortages, the fraternity can still provide more than adequate housing accommodations, as well as the fraternal friendship of veteran and non-veteran alike. That the fraternity will not welcome the vet- eran is a fallacy. While acquiring a miore stable position, fraternities have lost much tradition and prestige during the war because they have lacked the guidance of older and more experienced men. The fraternities realize that the vet can pro- vide needed experience, leadership, and a stabil- izing factor. They will gladly welcome the re- turn of their former members and will encourage them to participate in fraternal activities. At the same time many fraternities are re- vamping outmoded fraternity procedures to conform to the expected influx of veterans, both as returning veterans and as prospective pledges. They realize that juvenile policies will not be tolerated by the campaign veteran. In this light, it is obvious that the fraternities have much to offer the veteran, that the fra- ternities are willing to go more than halfway to meet the veteran, and that fraternity par- ticipation will prove of benefit to veteran; and fraternity alike.

THAT the returning veterans on campus are impatient with red tape was evidenced at the Veterans' Rally when an American Red Cross representative said that lectures and articles on the vet were just "so much malarkey," and mat- ters could be handled more efficiently. This statement was followed by loud applause by nearly 400 veterans. attending the Rally. Veterans' Administration authorities from Dear- born had discussed the complicated procedure each file and claim of veterans must go through before checks are mailed out. These agencies were never on the government priority list and could not have the space, personnel, or supplies necessary for handling all business rapidly. Apparently the vet believes matters need not be so complicated and do not require so much red tape if the reaction at the Rally is any in- dication. The University veterans' agencies and per- sonnel and the federal authorities have done a remarkable job in most cases handing the vet- erans' claims but theoveteran still sees room for rapid improvement and he wants it in a hurry. -Lois Iverson Attention all house heads and house presidents: Every dormitory, auxiliary dormitory, sorority house, and league house must have sign-out sheet records starting the day the house opened for the fall semester.

Mrs. Buchanan, Museums Students on campus wishing to be put on the waiting list for dormi- tories for the spring semester of 1946: These students may be placed on the list only if they have previously filed dormitory applications. Due to the limited number of openings expected Freedom in Asia 'ASIA for the Asiatics,' rallying cry of the col- ored peoples of the Pacific, is a slogan that has been popularized by the Japanese. But the nationalist uprisings that are now being brutally stamped out in Dutch-owned Java and French- mandated Indo-China are more deeply rooted than the use of Japanese catch-phrases would imply. Embittered by exploitation and never com- p etely pacified by cultural advances intro- duced by the white colonizer, the indigenous peoples haye become increasingly conscious of their subjection, and of the riches that the western powers extract without regard to the rights of native populations to share in the profits. It is perhaps sad, in a time when it is gener- ally recognized that the safety and the prosperity of the world lies in greater international coop- eration, that nationalism should become so rife that even backward peoples press for individual statehood. But it is only through a fuller reali- zation 'of their dignity and potentialities that peoples can eventually learn to cooperate. Ig- norance and backwardness breed mistrust. The Westerner, who forged far ahead of his colored : brother scientifically, has had a great opportunity to impart his know-how. To a great extent he has realized this opportunity (for Ja- pan he realized it too well.) But he has too often allowed greed to obscure humaneness. It will be difficult to give up the free access to the tremendous resources of Oceania. It would entail a tremendous loss of prestige for the white man to withdraw and thereby present the col- t 1 e 0 e Freshman Health Lectures for Men: It is a University requirement that all entering freshmen are required to take, without credit, a series of lec- tures in personal and community health and to pass an examination on the content of these lectures.
