]V:*v‘ We Have Self-Government
JN THE Wednesday issue of the Emerald the $5 payment plan
for the construction fund of the Student Union building and
other approved structures, as the much-needed basketball pa
villion and additional bleachers, was proposed in a tentative
form to the student body of the University and communications
were invited. 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?

not bad! The new diamond eould have had a far worse initia
tion.
