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.
