ALUMNI SECTION h No. 18. Vol. II M REORGANIZATION OFALIIMNIASSOGUTION Schemes and Ideas to Be ^ Threshed Out at Luncheon Meeting in Portland. Plans for the re-organization of the general alumni association of the Uni versity of Oregon will come up for care ful consideration at the monthly lunch feon of the Portland alumni to he held at the Hazelwood at noon on Saturday, April 1. Various plans, schemes and ideas have been threshed out in private con versation by interested alumni and at this time it seems evident that the dis cussion will center around the possible ■establishment of a central council for the alumni association. Practically all the al umni who have given the matter thought say a central council which would have both legislative and executive power for ■the association, with power reserved to ■the general association through initia tive to make all changes in the constitu tion through referendum; to modify acts ■of the Alumni council, and to express ©pinion on questions submitted to the association by the alumni council, would he a feasible plan. Portland alumni are not agreed as yet Upon the most desirable method of choos ing such a council or upon its exact size. I'ive, seven and eleven members have been suggested as good working bodies. No one seems to think that a group lar ger than eleven is desirable. Plans for election of the council are numerous. One alumnus suggests that the various local alumni associations elect a delegate to the annual alumni convention, and that this convention choose the council mem bers for the year. Another has made the suggestion -that the state be districted and that the alumni in each district choose a representative by a post-card ballot conducted through the alumni page. Another has suggested that district rep resentatives on the English system might be a desirable thing, so that an outly ing district might elect as its represen tative some former resident who could easily attend called meetings. Suggestions have also been made that the election of a committee at large without a dis trict basis, but with the provision that no less than a certain number of the com mittee-men shall be residents in certain parts of the state would offer the beat solution. ^ No one whb has discussed the matter seems to doubt that there is need for a more effective organization and that there is plenty of work for the alumni to do in making themselvea useful to the University. Some urge very frequent meetings of the council, while others think that two meeting* a year would be sufficient. A suggestion has been made that one of these meetings be held in Eugene and the other elsewhere, probab ly in Portland. Alumni working on the plans have not as yet felt obliged to hamper themselves by any financial consideration but there can be no doubt that the question of dues, the question of publications and likewise the question of affiliation of local alumni organizations with the gen eral association are problems that will have to be met and solved before a sat isfactory plan can be submitted. Carlton Spencer, chairman of the com mittee appointed by the Portland alumni to present a plan of re-organization has not yet committed his committee to any proposition. He has received all sug gestions as they have poured in upon him and will present them at the next monthly meeting. The committee will probably formulate a plan for the con sideration of alumni elsewhere in the state and 'tor possible presentation for the annual meeting in June. J.
