WHAT IS WRONG?
What is wrong with the present constitution and the pres
ent system of student government? The fact that the move
ment for a change in the A. S. IT. O. constitution came from
the executive committee, one of the bodies which would be
abolished under the new constitution, is significant of the
truth of the assumption that something is wrong. It came
from that body, and last night was approved by the three
bodies whose powers it is to combine. These three govern
mental instruments, the executive committee, the athletic
council, and the forensic council, must have realized the faults
of the present system or they would never have approved the
now plan.
The financial system as used by the associated students
now is anything but a modern system. It lias been antedated
by modern 'business methods, Where the tendency is towards
systematization and centralization. At present, with no bud
get system, the executive committee, a small, unrepresentative
body, has acted merely as a “rubber stamp” in authorizing
the payment of bills previously contracted by other elements
of the associated students. Because of the lack of centraliza
tion, it cannot well refuse to pay bills previously contracted.
A budget system lias been a dire need of the associated
students for some time. At present the graduate manager
and! the executive committee cannot well refuse requests of
the various activities for money, whether that activity will
make money or lose it. The forensic council arranges a de
bate; the athletic council hires a new coach—and the execu
tive council merely arranges to pay the bills as best it may. A
budget system would allow the expenditure of a certain sum
for each, activity through the graduate manager.
The new constitution is the result of the realization of
the la,x financial system used by the associated students at
present, and the changes to be made are, for the most part,
merely to remedy that system of financial control. Lack of a
budget system and lack of centralization yre faults of the
present system—faults which the new constitution seeks to
remedy.
Oregon wins the northwest conference championship in
basketball, not,having lost a. single game, and comes within
one game of taking the coast championship as well. “Suc
cessful season” is right!
Tomorrow’s assembly should prove to be the most impor
tant student meeting of the year. Matters which are to be
brought up directly concern every student. No outturn!

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS (?)
Dear Editor:
As individuals we sophomores are an
“up-and-at-’em” aggregation of peppy
people; but as the Class of ’23 we need
a collective tablespoonful of Nuxated
Iron after eacli meal and immediately
before retiring. Fact. We are so in
animate, comatose, inert, defunct, mori
bund ,that, in comparison, the petrified
trees of Arizona are graceful, waving
willow wands. You know those trees
don’t you? Well they’ve been petrified
over since Chief Silver-in-the-Heel, the
grand daddy of the whole Indian race, in
fleeing from an enraged nine-tailed
Copher-hippus, stubbed his toe on those
recumbent, erstwhile monarehs of tlir
forest, and in the friction resulting from
the collision discovered fire.
We’ve held four meetings this year
fusing the term ‘meeting’ in the sense1
that one person or more constitutes r
‘meeting’). There was in the region of
a dozen people at one meeting. At an
other we wandered around Villard, like
file lost tribes of Israel, looking for some
unoccupied spot to hold conclave, final!,'
roosting on the stairs. What happened
at the other two gatherings, I don’
know—wasn’t ever able to run down the i
place of assembly on either occasion.
Personally I believe that we ought tr
hold a special meeting in the near fu
ture and draw up a memorial of appre
ciation of the freshman class for or
ganizing flic frosh tradition committe<
with which to chastise themselves fo
committing misdemeanors against tin
rules of the school. They certainly are
gentlemen—and ladies—in that class, so
conscientious and considerate in aiding
us. Of course we could have taken over
the functions of maintaining order—in
fact I seem to recollect that such is the
customary duty of sophomore classes in
Signs of Spring
For weeks we have been observing the signs of
file in nature, daily they become more noticeable.
Always in our confectionery you will observe
lhe signs of quality, service and character. It is our
agreeable feeling and we constantly strive to improve.
We RAINBOW
H. BURGOYNE, Prop.
general. But the gentlemanly action of
the frosh certainly deserves a vote of
thanks on our part. Also, while we
are giving thanks, let us extend them to
the Order of the “O” for relieving us
of the barbarous and inhuman duty of
penalizing lawbreakers. We are not
like other soph classes. We can’t be
bothered by such roughneck methods
We are too refined—much too refined.
Next year we have considerable work
to do—junior week-end, and many other
affairs. Now wouldn’t it be nice to get
the frosh (class of ’25) to organize a
committee to help us out? It would
take a lot of work off our hands, and
I’m sure they would be only too glad to
aid us—and incidentally get a little ex
perience for themselves. And while we
are doing that why not have the Order
of the “O” give us a hand—and the
class of '1! and the seniors?? If we
pressed the matter hard enough we might
even secure the services of the faculty
to advise us and smooth out diffi
culties. These things are worth think
ing about. We need all the help we can
get. Social affairs and natural-born re
finement enjoin us from getting mixed
up in these functions too deeply.
I suggest that we institute a Pansy
Day. On this day each of the class of
’22 is to get out and plant our class
flower—the pansy—along the borders of
the campus pathways. This would be a
brilliant move; it would serve two pur
poses: proving that there really and
truly is a sophomore class in the Uni
versity this year, and beautifying the
campus with that modest, shrinking, and
delicate emblem of our organization.
