Beehill Mary Ellen Mason The Treat’s On You, Amendment Says Oregon students, with the kind permission of the pub lications and finance committees, will be allowed to choose their poison tomorrow when the Oregana issue is voted upon. Three alternatives present llhemselves. The first is to vote an addition of $3.75 a year 1o the fees. The second is to publish an “inferior”’ year book, in the words of the editor, and,the third is to publish no year book at all. For several days the Emerald refrained from commenting editorially on the proposed amendment to the constitution of the associated students, feeling that any suggestion so obvi ously opposed to tiie best interests of the student body as a whole must have some deep-seated and sound reason behind it. However, no such reason Inis presented itself. The addi tion of fi financial burden which does not result in direct scholastic benefit seems just as much an imposition as it did day before yesterday. The Orcgana is not necessary and the levying i>f a tax upon all students to support, it ought! not he allowed by those upon whose poeketbooks the strain will fall. The argument advanced by those favoring the proposed amendment is that tllie year hook cannot be financially sutv cess fill if published in the present size under the present con ditions. Home students in the university—perhaps enough tio pass the amendment—want to keep the Oregana. The help ful committees suggest that, they do this by charging those who do not want the Oregana. In other words, those' who wish the Oregana, instead of paying for it themselves, will pass a part of film burden to others who have no interest in it whatever, but, who perhaps are working most of their spare hours scrubbing dishes in order to save a few dimes to go to shows of a Sunday afternoon—after the election next week. This, remember, is not the idea of the student body at) large, but the idea which a couple of committees hope to shove over with tlm aid ot the Oregana, stafi. The statl itself is not to blame, for it! has enough worries of its own without the added one of finance. Publication of a volume of several hundred pages, insipid as it may he, is no small task and the editor and manager have grasped eagerly at this solution which promises to ease their minds. They have grasped at it probably without stopping to think what the solution en tails. There is but little question, as to whether the Oregana is worth what i! costs. Il is not\ In the course of any one student’s sojourn in college under the plan offered’, the student body would contribute through fees approximately $50,000 to this volume. That amount, of money diverted to any one of many other causes could do a thousandfold more good. Suppose that the amendment is passed. Will future stud ents be satisfied with it? The chances are they will not. The days of taxation without representation have been gone for quite awhile according to the precepts upon which our national constitution is founded. Kevision to the arbitrary taxation of several hundred years ago has already reached its limit on this campus. The five dollar fee which students arc [laying at the present time without even knowing, many of them, for what the money goes, is an example. If the amendment is passed the question will arise again nexl year and the year after until finally some broad minded student will collectively sav, “Oh. what’s all the fuss about, anyway?” and will abolish the Oregana entirely. That is a forward step which probably cannot he hoped for this year. .‘Defeating the amendment, it) should he [minted out, will not in itself abolish the Oregana. There is nothing whatever in the statement offered student voters to that effect). There are only vagUe threats from the staff that the year-hook will lie of ‘'inferior” quality or that there will be none- neither of which seems to be very calamitous. Commun ications Communications intended for pub lication in this column must be lim ited to 200 words. Initials only will be used unless permission is given for use of full name. The Editor. To tin* Editor: I wish to raise my voice in loud and solemn protest against the hit est brain child of the effervescing student council; namely, the attempt to arbitrarily force every student to purchase an Oregana and extract the purchase price by levying an ad ditioilal fee of $l.U*o per term to the already heavily loaded student bud got. The proposed amendment would instigate a most unfair and unsat isfuctory principle of financing i ampins activities. Every expendi ture that a few sentimental adoles cents deemed necessary to their philosophical happiness in the fu ture veals, to bring them ‘'consola tion”—such as portraits of the Pio neer, walking towards (Springfield to attend the Sunday matinee, might In- levied on the student fees, by a simple process of steam rolling the campus voters. In the past four years, the asso ciated students, of their own voli tion, have increased student body fees $ 1 a. 7 a per year. In other words, a present senior will have paid into the so called student body coffers by next .lane, $ti.‘t more in student fees alone, than the more fortunate and wise graduate of ’2d. I call upon all thinking student vot ers to defeat the amendment, upon principle alone, if for no otliei reason. AR1STOT1.K. To the Kditor: Run! Hero comes another ex po use!

It’s what we get for our money hat counts, and for thr* Oregon stu-l lents to vote down the $1.25 tax ' intendment (which will save from a I much regretted grave one of our finest and most pleasant institu tions, tlie Oregana yearbook) with out first giving a glance as to its real meaning, would be a mistake that will be regretted. And much ado about nothing! Figure it out yourself—you who always do buy j tlie book—three times $1.25 is $5.75; a dollar and a quarter cheaper than ; the annual has been for the last j three years. If we cannot have a yearbook that j represents the best that the univer sity has—we should have no book j at all. No tax, no Oregana, and no record of those experiences which are bound to grow more dim and more dear as time goes on. As a tradition, tlie Oregana is one of our finest. For over a quarter of a century it has come out with only one interruption, in 1918. Are the citizens of this campus goin<> to al low tlie only permanent record, and tlie annual memorial of their accom plishments and experiences in this j four year section of their life go the J way of the defunct and unmourned “Webby”? A poor end for Oregon’s beautiful tradition. Is your $1.25 worth more than that to you? J. 13. A.

Harolft Allen, junior in advertis ng: ‘‘I think tiiis affair will be i howling success for everyone con cerned.” A1 Cousins, senior in economics: ‘I think they are a lot of fun; they give the students a chance to get better acquainted and give the fel ows who ‘‘pig” steady a chance to see other girls. The only dis advantage I find is that they don’t last long enough.” Renee Grayce Nelson, junior in Journalism: “I think it’s an en joyable means of affording an ad vantage to some foreign girl or boy who would not otherwise have the. chance they coveted. It is a pleasure to us and a fulfillment of longed-for ambition to them.” Dorothy Ormsbv, sophomore in pre-medics: “I’m all for it—I think Art should be preserved! Don’t waste aesthetic effort on the kind of slicker that won’t last. Use a genuine Tower’s Fish Brand •Slicker—a background worthy of your masterpiece.
