TWO AMENDMENTS Two propound amendments to the con stitution of the student body were intro duced in the last assembly yesterday morning. They both relate to the Emer ald, and mnko more specific the general provisions of the constitution. The amend ments will be voted upon next Thurs day. The first standardises the size of the Emeruld as a six column paper. In pre senting the amendment Joe Bell made the explanation that the first, relating to the size of the Emerald was simply to put into legal effect what lias heretofore been tradition and to make the size of the paper standard. This is a worthy amendment from the practical point of view. It prevents the paper from becom ing mongrel in size as the management passes from year to year into the hands of different managers and editors. The experience of the Oregnna year book in : the past makes n good analogy. To make j a uniform hook the need was recognized three years ago in standardizing the pub- i Mention. Ah n result the constitution was amended to that extent. It may be argil or] that the increase in the size of the student body will necessarily demand a larger paper. But that can be accomo dated in more issues and making six or eight pages instead of four. If custom in newspaper appearance changes, as it is not likely to do, then when the time is ripe the constitutional change can be made accordingly. But it has been found by practical newspapermen flint the six column paper forms the best and most workable size for a eollege newspaper. This is true to the* extent that the college newspapers the breadth of the land in the larger institutions are of the uniform size that the adoption of the proposed amend ment would make the Emerald. As to the second amendment the specific provision is made that no organ ization may edit a regular number of the Emerald* for financial gain. This inter pretation of tla' constitution was made by the executive committee this year. The need of this amendment is so pain fully apparent that it hardly seems to need dwelling upon. For instance why should any organization, finding them selves in debt, use the Emerald, a stud U. OF O. MARKET T. F.

The campus lias enough organizations to get out the Emerald for the whole year. If then one organization was allowed to derive finan cial gain from a special edited number why should not the rest? It is impossible and unjust to make any discrimination. It is so absurd to think of any organiza tion being granted the permission to use a student body activity for selfish motives that it is high time the consti tution was amended to make more specific the interpretation made by the executive committee this year. The amendments should pass, and with only the dissenting votes of those organ izations who are so selfish that they have their own interests at heart rather than tiie interests of the student body. Why this agitation to change the regu lar course of w’ork, set the exams a week early and let school out before the reg ular schedule permits? It seems like an other dodge to avoid work. Oregon’s scholarship dignity has not been chap ened by hysteria yet. Why sully the Record at the last minute? President Campbell urges all the stud ents to prepare themselves for regular work next year; to keep in the. normal routine. It is advice urged upon the stud ents as a result of his trip through the East recently. It is advice that come? from the secretary of war. It is rational and sensible advice. , ■F?” -- One more issue of the Emerald. | WAR WARBLINGS (By Lucile Saunders) Just one more issue of the Emeralc and all the reporters are working hard yea, getting copy iu fin time but mostly preparing their mouths for the annua feed. Here it is nearly the end of the yeui and yet Barde, Berg, Van Horn, and Se vits over at the dorm haven’t been her* long enough to know that shower batln -aren’t tolerated even at the end of tin semester. By the way. boys, how did you happen to be getting home at 1 :•’{(> a. m.‘ We refer all underclassmen to Dean Foj on Conduct, rule no. 1. Douglas Mullarky handed us a piece ol paper last week written across the bot tom was the following: “Note this if pretty good stuff for war warblings oi something.” Yes, possibly good for something blit we endeavored to keep that dark and might have succeeded ii 1 >ug hadn't asked us why his poem wasn’t printed.

When the boys set up their wail ’cause drill they’d not curtail, at five o’clock on the dot, as the faculty said they ought, the boys showed indigna tion, but for the noble nation, they didn’t talk out loud;—so the faculty says the’re “cowed.” Now it’s getting worse and worse till a soldier needs a nurse. We have to drill in the rain like the “gen erals” we're not sane; drill till we’re j well nigh croakin’ and our B. V. D.’s | are soakin’; drill so before we cease, j we’ve lost a four-bit crease from our only pair of pants. No wonder there’s lots of “cant’s”. A society squib like this came into the Emerald Saturday. “Scaife, Jaureguy. and Bell entertained in honor of them selves.” Where at? We’d like to know. The library is getting pretty empty evenings now with four drills per week down town. The boys ought to be in demand on picnics after they’ve had those domestic science lessons. We’d be willing to bet that there are a good many people on this campus who’ve been living on ten cups of coffee and two hours of sleep per night this last week with those senior theses to get in. Have you noticed liow the weather has affected the number of picnics this year? But nothing would stop T. Cloran and his daily round in the vegetable garden. There are differences in opinion on what’s a good time. In the play in Guild hall ’tuther night who did the best, Helen Buttery or Bob Me .Vary? Ask cither and the answer will be the sume. Emma Wootton was singing a tune about being lonesome today but this is the way Elmer Hall feels about it: Oh, Censor, spare this note, Touch not a single line, It is the best I’ve wrote Unto that girl of mine Delate no treasured word Erase no honeyed part Each is a whisper heard From out my inner heart. Due to the remarkable activity of our esteemed contemps on the campus we have been able to gather the following from the collection box. One, two, three, four, Ain’t this an awful bore? Ein, swie, dri, ficr, I won’t be here next year. Yit, gee, s«m, say, The devil we’ll save to pay Our lives we sell, ain’t war hell? One, two, three. I started to knit a sweater In nice and even rows. ’Twas the color of pink sunset Or the pinkest rose that grows. But since the war has started And destruction for us knocks, I’ve changed it from a sweater And am knitting nice pink socks.
