iHE student council no doubt
A acted with sincerity, yesterday,
when it voted to put on the ballot
at the coming elections n incasuro
that would place the Emerald edi
torial policies under control of the
publications committee, appointed
by the president of the student
body. Rut we think the council
blundered in putting forth a pro
posal that, if adopted, will serious
ly curtail,—perhaps destroy—the
value of the Emerald.
The statement of the A. S. U. O.
president that the mcasuro is in
tended “to bring about closer har
mony between the Emerald and the
student administration” makes
more evident what must already bo
plain,—that the daily’s editorial
disagreements with the student and
executive councils this year are re
sponsible for the attempt to make
the Emerald editorially, ns well as
in its news columns, the servant of
the student officials.
Let it be understood at once that
the present editor has nothing to
lose or to gain by the proposed
amendment. It is a matter that
will have no effect on the existing
policies of the Emerald, and any
thing that is said in opposition is
due to an interest in the future of
the publication and its freedom of
expression.
The whole problem centers about
that vague something and nothing
“the best interests of the student
body and the university.” The Em
erald, on those occasions when it
has disagreed with the student of
ficials, has been concerned no less
than they with these “best inter
ests,” and certainly no less sincere.
The councils, for instance, decreed
that the “best interests of the uni
versity” would lie served by fresh
man disciplinary measures, by com
mittees that would go out into the
state to solicit students, by a huge
basketball pavilion, and so on. The
Emerald thought the opposite for
the very same reasons. Can the
student officials dogmatically say
they decided best? Are they cer
tain, if this be the point, that they
followed the wishes of the majoritv
of the students while the Emerald
expressed the opinions of only the
minority? What guaranty is there
that t lu* publications committee
would represent the students or
serve the “best interests of the uni
versity ? And are the best inter
ests always served by following
Shall We Submit
To “Gag Rule”?
overy notion of the students as a
whole?
The Emerald has been decreed a
law unto itself that must be check
ed. “Alumni and others outside the
university” aro being given “a
wrong impression of student opin
ion,” it was charged in council.
But does the university exist for
the benefit of the alumni, and must
the students act and think in ac
cordance with alumni wishes? Can
it never be made plain that the edi
torials must reflect the opinions
only of the editor, and perhaps
those persons he consults, and not
the views of the whole student
body? Under these conditions has
the Emerald at its worst done the
students and the University any
harm? Is the will of the publica
tions committee likely to be any
more representative of the students?
The Emerald editor, it has been
charged, is uncontrolled. But ho is
checked by the recall. If the stu
dents think their “best interests”
are not being served they have it
in their power to make a change.
If the recall weapon is too cumber
some, as charged, it can be made
more easily available.
The proposed amendment would
deliver the editorship into • the
hands of the publications commit
tee, which can be selected by the
president of the student body so ns
to represent him and his councils.
The editorship might just as well
bo abolished and this work done by
a publicity agent for the publica
tions committee.
The Emerald should be free to
criticize, else is there not danger
that the student officials will be
come a law unto themselves? And
do these officials and the students
fear criticism that will make them
think? Shall we abolish freedom of
j.speech and remove all chocks on
student government? It should not
be forgotten that criticism or no
criticism, the councils legislate, and
regardless of the state of opinion
in the constituency at the moment,
the councils’ opinions become law.
The result of this vicious piece of
legislation would be the reduction
of the Emerald to a publicity sheet
for the legislative bodies. The right
to independent criticism would be
lost. Students of any principle
would refuse to accept the editor
ship under such restrictions, and the
Emerald, as far as any editorial
worth is concerned, might just as
well be discontinued.
We know of no university where
! the editor of the daily must con
sult a picked committee and secure
i its permission before embarking on
| an editorial campaign. The univer
1 sities should be the last places
where attempts to limit freedom of
expression, in a milliner worthy of
I the most disreputable political metli
i oils of the dark ages, should be
! made.

Easter Service Today

bungalow at the regular Y. W. 0. A.
meeting.

half hour service, and she desires

Con noil
(Continued from iHtge one)
promoting such :i plan on this cam
pus.
The University of Virginia has an
honor spirit that has proved suc
cessful, and it is the aim of Dean
li. Walker, dean of men, and others
working on the problem, to imitate
their method. No strict system of
student police, or any proctor sys
tem is used.
Speakers from the University,
during the school year and the sum
mer, would travel around the state
in an effort to impress on high
school students the honor code and
the high standards represented.
At present some of the instructors
employ the proctor system during
examinatioi s, while others use the
honor system, there being no uni
form practice.
No detin it e action was taken on
this matter but it will be consid
ered later.

“The Tillicums” Aids
Independent Group
The movement for an independent
men’s organization on the Oregon
campus, which has been well re
ceived by both students and fac
ulty, has been given added stimulus
by a letter received by the organ
izing committee from The Tillicums,
an independent men’s organization
at the University of Washington,
which expresses desire to aid in
completing a similar organization
on the Oregon campus.
The Tillicums, as an independent
club, were organized at the Univer
sity of Washington in 1919 and in
1923 entered the field of national
groups. They have met with great
success since that time, being sup
ported by the dean of men and the
entire student body. -The aim of
The Tillicums, according to Foster
M. Griber, secretary of the Wash
ington organization, is to bind clos
er together the independents of the
west.
The plans for the banquet for in
dependent students to be held at
the Campa Shoppe are being rapidly
completed, according to Lynn Black,
secretary of the organizing com
mittee, who expressed satisfaction
at the keen interest shown by the
students and faculty.

College clothes designed
by college men
$35 to $50
THERE are two ways of designing college clothes. One
is to get up something that somebody thinks college
men ought to wear, and then try to “put it over”
The other is to send experts to the great universities to
study the clothes of campus leaders, and then reproduce
them. That’s why we sell Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes.
They are absolutely correct.
