Adams, as chairman of cam pus registration last month, was wagging tho entire national body politic from his obscure booth in front of Oregon building. Anyway ] that’s the burden of a sheaf of evi dence ho has just received from aa^ anonymous critic down in Los Ang ' Although Bill ’b attacker writes .with the malice of a Swift and the candor of a Rabelais, liis fervor leads him into lapses from the stan dards sot by postal authorities as ordinary decency and forbids our use of tho original manuscript. Tak ing a clipping of a campus registra tion news article as hi* text, ho oles. editorializes through sovorai pages of vari-colorod scrap paper and half a red crayon, wielded with more freedom than Webster sanctions. Through reiteration, the critic makes his hearty dislike of “King Al” and Queen Mario the most co herent ideas in his tirade. And ap parently lloovcr’s commission in Belgium and Roumania entitles him tc the dubbing as “side-kick” of their highnesses. Since the newspaper ex- | eerpt faithfully reported a Repub lican influence on the campus which showed up in the registration in a ratio of 201 to 43 of the less dom inant party in the state, the dia tribist perforce concedes Oregon \s vote ns belonging to Hoover. Hence Bill’s implication in the machina tions of the royalist party. The unique contribution winds up ! emphatically, “Boob education plus Boob production—Bums and Saps.” In witness whereof there is included a clipping with an Oregon Agricul tural College dateline and another from Southern California University; marginal notes characterize their students respectively as “vacant skulls” and “wop coddlers.” Vengefully inclined students of the several maligned institutions will be pleased to hear that a wea pon more horrible than the one which decapitated the foremost among criers in the wilderness is being whetted against this one. lie is to be psychoanalyzed.

A Bargain Without a Buyer rj'OUR out of the five amendments “■ voted on in Wednesday’s elec ion carried without appreciable op losition. Tlie remaining mehsure .vas defeated by 178 votes. Tile proposal to add twenty-five •eats a term to student body fees 10 us to provide a lecture fund to mpplant the sale of season tickets was easily the most meritorious of Hie five amendments offered for approval. It would appear that in voting the measure down, students thought only of the added seventy fivo cents to the total of the year’s expenses and not at all of what re turns wero to be had from the in vestment. Each of the four lectures given on the series this year was worth what the entire series would have cost the students had the amendment carried. It is recognized that all students may not have cared to patronize the lecture program they would have been paying for had the plan not been defeated. It is also to be recognized that many do not take advantage of the sports and musical events to which student body mem bership entitles them. llad the sponsors of the measuro adopted high pressure methods and fastenod an emotional appeal to student patriotism, Oregon may have ac quired a lecture fund, just as Mc Arthur Court was brought to rf reality. Apparently, students will stand a high price for amusements rather than a- moderate, even cheap, price for culture. The lecture plans must not ne abandoned. The failure of the amendment to carry, creating a lec ture fund, means the continuance of ticket selling campaigns, an unsatis factory way to conduct a University lecture series. With care taken to explain the proposition so that the intrinsic values of the undertaking are made to appear superior to the monetary evaluation attached, the lecture fund plan might well lie pre sented for approval at another elect ion. ■W.
