Niyht Editor This Issue*— Beatrice Bennett '{'v,enu {(pads Play Square tr'7i ' Himd nt Body l; ■ of Marion Nten and Ron Ilnbbs, editor ■ :l < *’ tin*. Oregana, were unanimously accepted by n nidi)1 ions committee yesterday. The editor and man r 1 " » t<. tint -oindusion. after the decision of (lie executive I'oniieil ordering ihem io cut from their budget an additional sum ot ifoOO that I hey could not publish a book under existing circumstances which would be worth either the $5 subscrip tion price asked for it, or the amount of time its publication would, entail. They were rigid, and their resignation should be consid ered as an outstanding evidence of keeping faith with the student body. They refused either to place students in debt or to charge it $5 for a book wortii less than $3. Their reasons are cogently explained in their resignation, a copy of which is printed elsewhere in this paper vertabim. The editor and manager came to their conclusion after thoroughly studying the situation, not only of the present year book bill of the year books of several years past. They spent a full half year of work upon the book, and it is therefore somewhat presumptions on the part of the executive council in a consideration of less than an hour to order the Oregana officers to do what they have facts and figures to prove im possible. With ils customary rare judgment 1 he student council exercised the authority given to it by somebody—a|ud who knows why ?—I o' appoint another editor. A sample of the reasoning of this eminent body was afforded in its decision. The fads presented to the group were these: That the editor and manager alter six months of work had given up the task demanded by the executive council as impossible; that the new editor would be forced to jump into the work at the middle of the yerfr and would he at much more of a disad vantage than was the resigning officer; that work lias stood at a standstill for some time in botii business and editorial departments and consequently is far enough behind schedule ilia) probably no one not even those who have had six months experience on the hook alrcaHy—could publish it in satis factory form by May. Sueli a decision as that reached by the student council is lair to no one. tl is not fair to the one named as new editor, nor to the man who will he forced to take over the position of business manager. It is not fair to the student body which will be forced, to pay for the deficit, if there is one and who will .suffer from the publication of a» later book. It is not fair to the staff which lias worked under Marion Nten and Ron Ilnbbs and which was not consulted by anyone preliminary to the appointment of new officers. I be stall ot Miss Slen and Mr. Ilnbbs is not oulv justified Ini! almost impelled to resign in a body in sympathy witlw their superiors, who saw the issue in the light of the best! interests of the student body and who ajeted in accord with them in lace ol almost certain criticism. It is possible that the new editor, after looking over the situation, will see that it is her duly to follow the lead of I (lie first editor and resign. The individual to whom the • task was lirsl ottered last night, having been closel\ eon- j lierte.l with the staff, immediately saw the status of the volume ! a'lid did not accept the job. Another individual who was ap proached with the idea in mind that, she might lie willing to try to publish the Oregana, also refused to consider it. Tlie condition ol the Oregana is now such that the oulv logical tiling to do is (o discontinue its publication and anyone ■.■ling with unselfish motives will realize 1 hat and refuse to 1,11 11 ' dident body by accepting the position of editor.

Stepping inside, tliis gentleinan aummiieed in sten torian tones to the assembled Physical Educators that his name was such and-sueh and would they have a cigar.
