A number of letters have been printed since, some opposing the plan and some favoring the plan. The Emer ald, heartily convinced of the basic need of the $5 term fee, be lieves that there are a number of misconceptions apparent from the arguments presented in the negative letters. It is asserted that the campus drive system of procuring the so-called “gift pledges” embodies the essence of the entire five million dollar campaign. There is a fundamental error in such a statement, however. The psychology of the drive makes the giving assume quite different a tinge from the ordinary volun tary gift. The very word “drive” itself connotes forcing. The objection the Emerald has to make is that this forcing is ac complished by the application of “you’re a poor sport if you don’t subscribe” pressure. It is rather an insult to a college student, after all, to tell him he is making a “gift” and hold ing the club of public opinion over his dubious head at the same time. Rather paradoxical, to say the least. On the contrary, there is no more idea of forcing in the term payment plan than there is in any fee or tax which self-govern ing bodies find necessary or advisable to levy upon themselves. “No taxation without representation” holds for the govern ment of the A. S. U. 0. just as truly as in the state or nation. The student body of the University of Oregon is a self-gov erning, self-taxing group, the theory of democratic rule any where. i The student body of the University of Oregon really ap proves of contributing toward the erection of needed, and directly benefiting, structures. The whole question then lies merely in the most happy and efficient method of accomplish ing that end. The term payment fee system is unquestionably superior to the drive for business-like, sure, practicable results. Sixty dollars is forty less than a hundred dollars. It will have been paid when the student leaves the school on gradua tion, or a relatively less amount if the student does not complete his college work. There will not be the very large shrinkage which is bound to reduce the total collected through the “gift” pledge system. There is a broader vision contained in the $5 term payment proposal. It does not confine itself to one particular need, one particular structure, but has behind it the idea of permanency and perpetual benefit to the requirements of the student body. Right now a basketball pavillion is needed in addition to the Student TJniori. There will always be need of .new buildings, and improved athletic facilities. Real assurance that such ex pansions may be adequately provided for can only come from a perpetual, efficient, and balanced system. Who’s going to run for president—for editor—for vice-presi dent—for secretary—for the executive council—for the student council—for yell king—for the Oregana? First story will be in Tuesday’s Emerald next week. Turn in names to editor Mon day before 6 p. m. Tomorrow is Saturday. If the faculty vote favorably on a measure at their meeting Wednesday, Saturday will be a class day next_year. In such event, would Friday night be closed, as are the rest of the week days, to social activities? Probably. Attractive prizes are offered in the speedway events at the Lane county fairgrounds tomorrow afternoon for the “campus heap” races. Prizes woilld have to be attractive considering the poteijfialities for a repetition of the story of “The One Hoss Shay. ’ ’ Which would you rather?—A $100 pledge hanging over your head when you graduate, or the satisfaction of having complet ed your twelve $5 payments to t]ie building fund? “Oregon Defeats Whitman, '7 to 4”—headline. Not bad, not bad! The new diamond eould have had a far worse initia tion. Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

Ed Miller filled the place as city editor with Betram Jessup as his associate. Jalmar Johnson acted as night city editor while Thurman Evans and J. Bernard Shaw were telegraph editors. Mildred Carr, Mary Conn and Georgia Stone were copy editors. The 30 members of the class made up the reportorial staff. Frank Jenkins, editor of the Keg ister, has signified his willingness HAIRCUT?
