The most efficient handling of the student body money can come from a centralization of the appropriation pow er. Am we understand the proposed amendment that comes before the stud ents in the election next Wednesday morning the power of appropriation is more definitely settled in the executive committee. That being true the amend ment should pass. It is a fallacy of our democratic gov ernment to get efficiency out of decentral ization. There is a constunt undercur rent apparent to those of an analytical mind which signifies a progress)vism on the part of the student body toward self government. This is seen in the gradual centralization of power among the dif ferent responsible bodies of the. student government. This year did not see tin1 constitution tampered with but it did see a great amount of order brought out of the chaos resulting from the tam pering in past years. Student self-government is bound to come. It is but a matter of time. A vote for the centralization of appropria tion power is an aid to it. ABOLISH GERMAN? At a meeting of the Central Indiana Superintendent's flub at Xhelbyville, among the things diseussed was the sug gestion that the study of tin* Herman language he dropped from the eurrieulum of school subjects. The superintendents will probably be too sensible to consider Kiirli n proposition seriously. We should remember that we are not at war with the Herman people but with I’russian military autocracy. Although It is the language of Von 1 lindeiiimrg, il is also that of Goethe and Schiller. If for no other reasons than that of business, we could not afford to be with out a knowledge of Herman. We want to compete in foreign markets after the war and to do this we must understand the character and the speech of the Her man people. This war was not entered into by this country to cause hatred and misery to survive and rankle, but to help the world to the common end of justice, liberty nud democracy. Only by such a high ideal can Ibis war and American participa tion be justified.— Indiana Daily Student. The golden rule of the student council is: “Do unto the campus paths ns they were meant to be done unto. Walk on ’em and not the lawn.” ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ NOTICE—CONTRIBUTORS ♦ ♦ - ♦ ♦ All contributors to the Emerald ♦ ♦ through the mail box or otherwise ♦ ♦ are welcome.

Martin Nel son in speaking on his ability to fulfill the position said that (.rain was a spe cialist along the line of journalism and knew other lines as wei>. He spoke of his experience as editor of a small town paper and correspondent for the Ore gonian. Adrienne Epping was next nominated by Maurice Hyde, who pointed out the need of placing in this position one j whom the war would nut call away. Miss Epping, he said, has had such suc cess as city editor of the Emerald this year that in ease the men are culled to war she can easily take over the manag ing department, lie brought out her activity iu different fields in the capa city of secretary of Greater Oregon club, manager of the Tennis club, and assist ant editor of the Emerald.

Jeannette Calkins was recommended ■for manager of the Emerald by Karl Heeke. He said the chief qualification for this position was the ability and willingness to get out and rustle. Miss Calkins, he said, had demonstrated her ability along this line by her success in the Oregana subscription contest, in which she sold 1-5 to her nearest oppo nent's titi. He pointed out the additional ■advantage v>t being, as Migs t alkins is, the daughter of a Eugene family promi nent in business. Wily lvuighteu rose to nominate Joe •Denu for manager. He said the position required a man who could get out among the business men. Demi, he said, was a major i i commerce, treasurer of the V. M. C. A., and ou the manager’s staff of the Emerald. Editor of the Oregana was the next in order and Harold Newton received the first nomination. Walter Meyers in rec ommending him spoke of his work on he •Emerald and his membership in the national journalistic fraternity and the literary fraternity, as well as his high standing in scholarship.

STUDES FEEL RESPONSIBLE Passage of Universal Conscription Bill Affects College Men. The passage of the measure before congress regarding universal conscrip tion will cause University students to feel a greater responsibility in under taking the military system, which will without a doubt be installed to its fullest extent the first of the next school year. 1'uder the system of conscription us out lined by the authorities who will be re sponsible for it, male citizens will be segregated according to occupation, and in this case the University students may not be called to the colors as soon as those in many other branches. The or ders. however, will be to keep every man ready in case there is a need for him. At the first call for conscription there will be the preparation of 10,000 men front Oregon os the state quota. In all probability this will not necessitate the attention*to the University men, espe cially now since the war department has requested that every student continue his work toward graduation. Whether or not an officer will he de tailed to the University for the coming semester depends on the extent of the training of reserve officers in the camps planned for the summer. At present there is not a regular army officer avail able. Patronize Advertisers The Varsity Barber Shop The place where the stu dents go. Bring your razor in and have it put in good shape.
