Whether or not the appointing of all student managers by the new Executive Council will remove those offices from politics is one of the. big questions which must be answered by the students before they vote on the new plan of student government which will be submitted) next week. The idea is U complete innovation, inasmuch as it affects offices which in the past have been elective by the entire student body, by the members of some smaller body, or appointive by student officers or employes. Under the proposed plan, the recommendations for the student managers would probably be made by one of the vari ous activity committees appointed by the Executive Council, the baseball committee recommending the manager for that sport, the publications committee the managers of campus publications, and so forth. Such a plan is possible, and seems capable of working out as intended). It should take the of fices out of politics. With an executive committee consisting of six student members, there is a possibility of the power falling into the hands of a clique, and by their domination, the best men avail able might not always be appointed as student managers. That is a possibility, not a probability, and students must realize this liefore they vote. It is unfair to say that there is a possibility for a poor man to become a manager under the present elective system. Usually onl) men fully qualilied dare to run, and the recom mendation of the retiring manager usually goes a long way tow aids electing a successor, particularly if the one retiring has been successful. The appointive system, if adopted, would lay the Executive Council open to charges of favoritism, as is always the case with appointive positions, while where those posts are made elective, the public has none but itself to blame. The fact that three members of the faculty, one of whom is to be an alumnus, as well as one other alumni member, are to have voting powers on the new Executive Council, if adopt ed by the students, is a fairly safe assurance that that body will act wisely and impartially in appointing student man agers. lint again faculty and alumni members are often un able to get the viewpoint of students because of press of other business and other reasons. The graduate manager of the University of Washington, recently returned from a tour of eastern colleges, recom mends a competitive system for aspirants for managerial positions, the candidate competing during his sophomore year, and acting as assistant during his junior year. In this way lull training is given, and no charge of favoritism could be made. Such a method might well be looked into by the com mittee laying plans for the new system. There are quite a few students who would like to see soccer a real sport at Oregon. All those in favor turn out for Saturday’s game. Did it ever occur to students that Oregon songs when sung at athletic contests are absolutely spoiled by the hamt clapping ot rooters. rl he hand-clapping drowns the singing, which would have a much better effect alone.. It is all right for ordinary marches when played by the baud, but it doesn't mix well with voices. 1 The Campus Cynic | *---* COLOR AND ART. To the Editor: Personally )I like just plain meat and potatoes, and, for dessert, stewed prunes, baked beaus, or some sueh robust fruit. I care not at all for those delicacies which are not 100 per cent American. Which shows what an uncouth clod I am. It is tlio same in art. Somehow my taste J has never been educated up and beyond] the primary stage. Now 1 suppose cas ual but exclamatory patches of verdigris blue on the erstwhile women’s building are considered artistic, lint it looks to mo as if that structure was coming down with a virulent case of blue measles. l’ossibly the intermittent daubs of color are indicative of the future pur pose of the edifice—a home for daubers^ ★-★ Announcements *-.-* Home Economics Club. — Meeting Thursday evening at 7:15.

Perhaps the variegated effect is to denote that art appreciation is taught therein, and again I say the re lation of the outward camouflage to the inner camouflage is remarkably effective. But, to borrow a phrase from the wise Solomon, if that’s art I’m a plumb er. Let me hasten to add that I am not trying to cast aspersions on the plumbing profession. In these days of Bolshevik tendencies all the stable and reliable things litvye gone by the boards. They don’t even make the orthodox doughnut with the conventional hole any more, and Ivory soap no longer floats with its accustomed carefree and insouciant abandon; Bon Ami scratches; and there’s too much Turkish in a certain cigarette. So I suppose in art the primary colors have passed out of fashion. Another conjecture. May it not be —this color scheme—for the purpose of shocking the eight o’clock classes into some semblance of life? If so I proph esy that it will be phenomenally suc cessful. t)r maybe the person entrust ed with the building decorations had a ! touch of spring fever and simply could not resist the urge to put the vernal tint (I will not commit myself to the name of the specific color) on the aut umn brick-brown. Or maybe some old ship’s painter was entrusted with the job and as the good craft was in the dry dock for a time (paregorically speaking) he followed the established procedure of smearing on a coat of copper barn acle paint. We must he true to art. That is the one great truth. We must never dally or compromise with the expression of the inner feeling. If the hidden voice demands that a dill pickle blue be the official color of the art building why then a dill pickle blue she is. Upon a close observation one finds several minor shades on the moldings and balus trades and what nots. No doubt each campus artist (official artist) has con tributed his bit — thus making the de lightful ensemble, which surely can not be said to lack originality. It’s so hard to be original in this advanced age. They are to be congratulated on having achieved it. I am not sure that I exactly grasp the symbolism of .these decorations. My first mental reaction is to be suddenly reminded of moldy Camembert and mud dy coffee. But maybe that is the ef fect they desire to produce. Who are we—us laymen—to criticize or judge those who serve art? Art is funny—almost as funny as those who follow after it. E. J. II.
