Constitutional Changes

Acts Wisely
-By ARDEN X. PANGBORN
In mi adjoining column is 1lu« news that -Ini' McKcown,
president «> l‘ ilii' associated students. Inis ;i ppoi 111 <ul a commit I ee
on “Const itutiona I Revision. The move w as a w ise one. The
committee President McKeown elinxe is one representative id'
the student body and one of which each individual has shown
himself qualified to consider with critical judgment 1lie present
governmental regime.
'flic formal declaration accompanying the announcement
does not state definitely the weaknesses for which the committee
should search in the constitution. In 1 hat omission. 'President
McKeown. too, has shown his confidence in the capabilities of
those whom he has selected for a task certain to have a great
bearing upon Ihe future of the Oregon student body.
Since the beginning of the year the inadequacy of certain
portions of the constitution has been felt. The iinwiehlincss of
the large student council, making efficient legislation impos
sible, has often been referred to. The question of appointive
editors for the Oregana and the Emerald has been mentioned.
We feel certain that in the course of its work, the committee
shall at least consider these questions, whether it decides to
recommend changes in regard to them or not. Perhaps Presi
dent McKeown had one or both of lliexe problems in mind;
if so, his appointment of an unprejudiced committee to scan
the constitution as a whole, was not only wise but commendable.

"Race Conflicts’
Topic of Bishop’s
Assembly Speech
Tales of Maylasia Land
Told by Titus Lowe;
Climate Hot
Singapore, Java, Borneo
Also Described
“Race Conflicts in Malaysia” was
the topic of Bishop Titus Town's
address to tlio assembly in (lie
Woman’s building yesterday, lie
felt confident in speaking to stu
dents, lie said, on such a far away
subject, since students are forward
looking, ready to seek and to under-,
stand.
Bishop Lowe was in Malaysia for
four years and it is from this period
in liis life that lie drew a vivid pic
ture of this so-called faille land. I
Ho lias a noble sense of humor,
and lie .added zest to his description
of this far away land by punches of
humor that thoroughly delighted his
audience, particularly his geograph
ical definition of Singapore. Singa
pore, said Bishop Lowe, is the place
two persons would meet, one going
west from Pocatello, Idaho, and tiie
other east.
“In Singapore yon come to the
conflict of the races,” he said. All
races of the world are gathered to
gether in that territory. “The cli
mate there is, well, most of it is
unusual. They have three types of
climate—hot, hotter, ami hottest -j
all of which are alike.
“All tiiese races one finds in j
Singapore live side by side. There ,
are parallel lines of traditions and
backgrounds, but no idea of eosmo-1
politanism. Each one goes- on his
own way. It is a great land in
which to live—to make comparisons,
with sharp differences,” Bishop
Lowe declared.
The speaker told of Borneo—the
place that most of as link with the
“wild men,” of Samutra, which con
tains the last, great group of canni
bals, tlio Battatks, and of Java.
Bishop Lowe was in Eugene to
attend the. Oregon conference of the
Wesley foundation commission yes
terday. Two Eugene men, Dr. J.
Franklin Haas and E. L. Keeney
are members of the foundation.
Dr. Edward Laird Mills, Portland,
chairman of the foundation, deliv

the college of literature, arts, and

| Tlio present oon
[ptitution govern
ijng the students
was drawn up be
fore 11)00, a u d
since lias li e e n
amended scarcely hall a dozen
limes. There lias been an increase
in enrollment, from a few hundred
to L’t >,"■!) in that, time, and student
body affairs have become increas
ingly more complicated. When tbe
constitution, the only basis of stu
dent affairs, lias not been clear oil
a point, individual opinions have
been the only recourse. The inade
i|Uftcy of the amendments themselves
have at times caused confusion, ac
cording to McKeoivn.
The committee, composed of two
seniors and two juniors, will con
sider tlie document as a whole, and
compare it with constitutions of
other colleges in the western United
States. Suggestions for improve
ments will be welcomed from stu
dents, and careful consideration of
them will be made, according to tlie
com mittecmen.
Me Known said when appoint ing
the committee, the first of its kind
in tlie university, “1 have planned
for sometime to appoint a commit
tee on revision to bring it up to
date. If changes are to be made,
they ought to be carefully consid
ered before election time coming
within the next month.
“From time to time the Consti
tution lias boon amended in parts
until it is cumbersome in some pro
cedure and the meaning is not. al
ways clear. It has never been con
sidered as a whole and for tills rea
son I am appointing a committee
to study it with a possibility that,
some change or revisions might lie
advisable. The constitution should
he so constructed to fit the needs
of a student body the size of ours.”
Because of the proximity of stu
dent. body elections, no time will be
lost by the committee. First meet
ing will probably be held sometime
today uni subsequent meetings will
lie held daily in order that some eon
elusions may lie in satisfactory form
for presentation to the student body
within a week or two at, the most.
Freshirten Decide

Men Who Play oil
Its Teams
Saturday afternoon dances, pic
nics, amt finish iiuim*i'ul sweaters,
well1 some %of the, tilings discussed
Inst night at tin; meeting of the
freslunnn class.
President Brian Mimuaugh asked
Hie class to consider the previous
Saturday afternoon dances that. have
been held in the dancing room of
the College Side Inn, and to vote
whether they wished to resume
them. After some discussion the
class decided to continue the dances,
and the subject of the meeting was
transferred to the treasurer ’s report.
At Browne, class treasurer, told
in detail how the finances of the
class stood, and Mintnaugh declared
that if the athletic numeral sweat
ers for spring sports were given
that there would be no money left
for the spring picnic.
It was decided at length that it
was only fair to present the numer
als to the frosh athletes. A motion
was finally made and voted favor
ably upon, that the numerals be
given, and that, a tax of do'cents
bo made upon each member of the
class to pay for a successful picnic.
