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.

' .i ll in i in,in in ,i eliodi'ivil sml with a big
< ‘' in 11 hi i < ai fyi«.r n satchel walked up to I In- men's
and kni'd cd at tin- office dour. That was a sad day for
die male members ot the associated students of the t iiivi rsil \
ol Oregon. 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. These for-I
nullities over he opened Ids bag and drew forth a strange
looking device.
I liis. Gentlemen, said the newcomer, “is u soap
'machine.”
“A soap machine'.' cried the 1’. Ik's in unison, their mouths |
dropping open at the wonderful toy.
"Vos, a soap machine.” replied the stranger, “and .1 am
a soap-machine salesman.”
“Goodie, goodie! went up the delighted erv. for they;
wanted drcudlully this shiny new soap machine. A?ul thev
got d.
Ii eut the soap Ini] in halt. We doubt il there is auv soap
hill. Not on our account. Maybe there are magic words. W'e
don t want magic words. W'e want soap. Kegardless of sen
timental attachment we leel that sueh a temperamental and oh
tu.se bit of paraphernalia should find its way into the scrap heap
after three years or so of daily demonstrating its utter failure j
to function.
Perhaps our editorial policy of providing’ our critics with
that which our paper lacks will act as a boomerang. Perhaps
we will be presented with' a complimentary bar of soap. Who
knows?—L. II.
