Abolition of Council
First Step in Reform
^■()W that tIk* date for the
annual nominating assem
bly lias been set by the exeeu
live c o ii n (' i I,
dofinke steps
should be taken
1o reduce th e
n u in b e r o I’
electeiI student
officers.
This reform
will require an
amendhient t oo
till' s t u d e ii 1 ^
body constitute
1 ion.
As iiitiimitc.il in an Emerald
editorial yesterday, there is a
widespread feeling that the stu
dent council is an unnecessary
appendage to the slruelure of
campus government.
The fifteen luenihers of the
student eouneil are now elect
ed to carry out minor duties
other than those of the presi
dent, vice-president, and secre
tary, and the executive coun
cil, which itself is made up of
seven officials besides the stu
dent representatives. In addi
lion to numerous sub commit
tees. I here are at present a tot al
of twenty-nine individuals to
whom are delegated the reins
of student body government.
Twenty-two of those are regu
larly elected by the A. S. U. O.l
To abandon Ilia student
council of fifteen members
would be a blessing, not be
cause of any incompeteney on
I lie pa ft of t lie individual st n
dents wlm now compose it, but
because of I be fill ile oat lire of
their duties. The most com
mendable achievements of this
august body during the year
have been the motions to ad
journ.
For a detailed list of their
so called “did ics," refer to the
constitution in the student
handbook. “To act as inter
mediary between faculty and
students; to assist, advise and
cooperate with the yell leader
. . . to direct entertainment of
visiting teams," these are some
of the labors assigned to the
student council. Obviously, the
actual work is customarily
done by someone concerning
whom the student councilors
know little and care less.
Abolition of the student
council is a major change
which is justified. Hut another
matter which the present stu
dent officials should also con
sider is the selection of edi
tors for student body publica
tions the Oregana and the
Kmerald. If the student coun
cil is abolished, provision for
appointing the editors by an
unprejudiced body might well
be made. The advantages of
this will be dismissed in a later
issue of the Emerald.
The one fact to ho remem
bered now is that there are too
niun\ student officers for the
amount of work that must be
done. As for the action to be
taken in bringing about the
change, the Kmerald suggests
that the student administration
itself should be the body to
make the first steps toward a
more satisfactory jroverumou
tul twytem. , „ , .
Our Issue Tennis,
Not Religion
HpHe Emerald’s motives in
advocating use of tennis
courts on Sunday mornings as
well as on holi
day afternoons
may have been
tniseons t ru ml
by the interest
ed reader si<rn
in^ himself 0.
If. in the eoili
mnnication eol- t
umn today. The sy
writer of t h e |
letter, evident
lv sensitive to
C?° ( f
certain issues, seems prone to
read into tin* Emeralds edi
torial something which the edi
tors felt Ihey had carVfully
avoided.
We are definitely in favor
of opening the, courts on Sun
day, Init, not for the purpose
our communicant questions. It
wc thought (dosed courts would
send students to church, then
(dosed they would remain as
far as the Emerald is concern
ed. IVut. (dosed tennis courts
do not send people to church
nor would open ones keep them
away, doing to church is a
matter of individual discre
tion just as playing tennis is.
The Emerald is not “hostile’’
to tli(‘ church and lias not neon
in the past. It is not dealing
with tin* students who want to
go to church, but those who do
not want to and who would like
to play tonifis ^>n Sunday
morning.
The comparative merits of
ehureh and tennis perhaps are
unrelated. For those persons |
who feel the need of physical
benefits nather than spiritual.!
the Kmcrald is in favor of
throwing open the courts. It
is hardly necessary t» point
out that physical activity is as
important on Sunday as it is
on any other day. Where this
activity is taken care of for
participants in other sports, it
is confined to an inadequate1
period from 2:00 to 0:00 for
the tennis player.
We want tennis for Sunday
for no other reason than the
constructive one of satisfying
a .just, popular demand. The
number of tennis players ex
ceeds by far the supply of
courts. Sunday morning tennis
"ill help to relieve the con
gestion. In .March 192S. 1200
persons used the courts in
about 200 possible playing
hours. This year in approxi
mately the same amount of
lime 2420 persons played ten
nis. The number of players
nearly doubled in one year.
Among this great number are
those who do not want to go
to church on Sunday morning,
but who do want to play ten
nis.

Tennis or Church?
To the iiilitcr:
1 aai wondering what, If au> -
thing, the KunniUl is living to get
at in its nccut editorial advocating
the use of the tennis courts oh Sun
day mornings. I remember last tall
the Emerald had some sort of run-in
vc-itb the Eugene churches. is this
sudden splurge on tennis just the
opening gun of another battle with
the churches’ Because the Emerald
and the churches have been some
what hostile, it may be that the
Emerald is concocting a plan to
keep, people . from church.
J do not see anything objection
able in Sunday tennis. But it
should not be played at the expense
of church.

Then, looking at his garment,
which was in tatters and covered
with lamp black and yellow paint:
0 well did the Sage Ambition coun
sel me to take with me a change of ;
raiment. For in such a state as this 1
1 should surely be barred from the j
gi^tes of tbe0Golden City of Educa
tion? , o °
Whereupon °in my dream »I saw
Student carefully fjld.his new cap,
place it in his pocket, and continue
on his way again. He had prog
ressed but a short distance when
there came running after him two
knights, who did seize him roughly
by either arm.
KNIGHT: Wretch! Darest thou
violate the most sacred tradition of
the Happy Land of Collegia, which
was writ by the first pilgrim who
ever did enter into the land through
the pass, and hath been since en
forced, from generation to genera
tion .’
STUDENT: Hut good sirs, thou i
saidest that mv ordeal was at an
end. What now have 1 done? I
sit not myself upon the stone bench,
wear not mine lint, nor tread on
you green herbage.
KNIGIIT: . Wretch! Thy cap.
Where is it?
STUDENT: Meanest thou this
small green felt? I keep it care
fully in mine pocket, for it will
avail me nought against the sun,
the wind, the rain, the snow, the
hailstone, or the hurricane.
KNIGHT: Wretch! Heardest thou
not the warning to wear thv cap
wherever thou goest('ome!
And so saving they led Student
to a public platform designed for
the punishment of the violators of
the traditions of the land, bended
him over, and one muscular knight
did smite him repeatedly and with
full fOTce.
At length they released student,
and once more he betook himself
along the road in the direction of
the City of Education. When he
was out of their sight, he sat him
self down, though it pained him
greatly to do so, and meditated.
Alas, he sayeth to Himself. I
fear me T have strayed on my wav,
which was pointed out to me by the
Sage Ambition. Surely this cannot
be the JTappy Land of Collegia, nor
this pathway'lead untp the City of
Education. Surety somewhere I have
taken the wrong path, which hath
led me to the dank Valley of Medi
ocrity, close by the City of Illiter
acy, where dwell these Morons, and
this Submerged Tenth.

Will the gentleman who just coughed, kindly step

"Of course, I have never said just those
words from the stage—but in all kindness
I have often wanted to offer this friendly
help to some poor fellow Vvhose cough was
interrupting the show and spoiling the cn
joyment of those around him.
‘•A year or so ago, the makers of OLD COLD
rail some ads on the disturbing effect of
coughing in theatres. As an actor, I was
grateful for those ads. I am more grateful
now that OLD COLD has invited stage folk to
help them bring 'first aid" information to
our unhappy friends tbe 'thcatre-coughcrs.’
"Mv own advice is that prevention is the best
aid. The kind of prevention that smoking
OLD GOLDS gives. Harsh tobacco irritates the
throat, and that causes coughing. Changing
to Oi l* GOLDS soothes the throat and re
names the cause of the 'cough tickle.’ ”
