Night Editor This Issue— Clarence Craw Assistant Night Editor—Glenn Gall SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1928 Principles, Not Juniors Before the Bar AS a problem in interpreting the A. S. U. O. constitution’s delegation of ’authority, the tettt case going before a court of arbi tration this morning is interesting ly unusual. The council composed of student representatives is asserting its right to supervise class activities. And the {Junior Week-end directorate, as the plaintiff, is endeavoring to show that its initiative in setting a price for tickets to the Dream Fol lies was warranted, and hence, valid. ###### As a problem in student govern ment, we repeat, the agreement to bring the question before a disin terested tribunal is exemplary. But the issue is so completely fouled with engirdling opinions more emo tionally inspired than rational, that Iho acuteness of the board will be severely put to test. There is no doubt in our mind that the constitution endows the student council with implicit powers that carry its jurisdiction into such af fairs as the campus has just wit nessed. If so, (lie judgment of the tribunal will bring it out iu bold re lief this morning. ****** But the tale is not told with the establishment of student council su premacy; vindication of the coun ties action last Wednesday is a dif ferent matter. Thus, the decision that the board comes to this morn ing will servo as a precedent for guidance in the future. But it does not in any way excuse tho council’s heedlessness in demanding that tho directorate undo the work it had ac complished in good faith. Clearly, hero are two problems: tho abstract policy of student coun cil jurisdiction, and the iminodiato fact of arbitrariness bucking more arbitrariness. The student Council is forcing Iho issue, tin' directorate frankly admits its negligence in ignoring protests against the prices thought oxhorbi tunt. The council withdraws its mandate, judged unwarranted by ad ministrators, but is intent on chas tening the juniors whom it counts as rebels. Only as the best interpretation of the const it atinna 1 provisions regard ing student body vostituro of au thority, will this morning’s delibera tion have meaning. A principle will be victorious, but^ any attempt to personify the principle will loud back into the squabble just finished. That is an affair which, like the flowers that bloom in the spring, has nothing to do with the case. Printed Pages And Magic Carpets When the round-the-world debat ers stepped off the Shasta last night and completed more than six-months of wandering over the face of the globe, the welcoming crowd that met them at the station could not detect any noticeable difference in the three men. To the eye, they were the same young men who left Eugene last Oc tober to -begin tho " first debating tour of its kind, but it is not to be expected that they have not been affected by their experiences while absent from the campus, observing pooplo and things on the other jsido of the world. Only the. few can travel and ac tually see the world with their own eyes, but all who will can sec and learn much.through making use of tho wealth of literature that is available to fill their wants. Tho libraries are literally fiLled) with books which can give the inquirer whatever he wants. Strange lands and strange peoples appear and move through tho pages of history, travel, adventure, romance and roal j ity. One can be amused or instruct ed, just as fancy directs his choice. Heading, to bo enjoyed, requires time. Time is a. none too plentiful commodity for most students, al though much of it is wasted, and few are able to read more than just such books as are required in their courses while on the campus. But summer and vacation will bo here before we know it and with it will probably come time, to read, to trav el over tho book and fancy, route into the far corners; the best known substitute for the real thing. —W. C. Oregon journalism students took over h’ridny's edition of the Morn ing Register, doing till the writing and editing without the guidance of the regular staff. The paper came out in good shape, and is back in the accustomed regime with no marks of damage due to the ama teur workers.

Melton of Pittsburgh, have displayed woe ful ignorance of these affairs, sav ing they left all these details to officials whom the\ trusted, ton fidenoe in one’s managers may be commendatory, but the- practice of the largest and potentially most in- j flueutial investors disclaiming all t i I'NjHnisihilit v of conducting any i 1'orsonnl investigation in such out standing cases bespeaks a dangor ous condition.
