Work Done Here by Social
Science Department
Attracts Notice
The improvement of teaching
programs at the universities of
Oregon, Minnesota, and North
Carolina, are attracting national
% interest, as was evidenced in the
fact that this was one of the prin
cipal subjects taken up at the an
nual session of the Association of
State Universities, Dr. Arnold
Bennett Hall, president of the uni
versity, declared upon his return
here. Dr. Hall attended the meet
ings of the Association which '
were held in Chicago November
11 and 12, returning to Eugene in
time for Homecoming week-end.
Oregon Outstanding
The work being done in the so
cial science department here is
regarded as outstanding by dele
gates at the session. Dr. Hall’s
interest lies especially in this
field, and he has been developing
the department steadily ever since
he came here three years ago.
^ Dr. Hall was a guest of Presi
dent Hutchins of the University of
Chicago while attending the con
ference. This young man, al
though just 30, is the head of one
of the largest universities in the
country. He has a boyish enthus
iasm for his work, but gives the
impression of possessing mature
judgment and great efficiency, ac
cording to Dr. Hall.
Hall Visits Louden
The president also visited with
Frank O. Louden, former gover
nor of Illinois, who is not only a
national figure in politics but in
other fields as well. He was the
commencement speaker for the
University of Oregon last year,
and if present plans go through,
he will be here to preside over the
commonwealth conferences to be
hold here next spring.
CONSTITUTION FOUND
DEFECTIVE, CONFUSING
i (Continued from Page One)
tern of numbering, which, by the
way, has no clause 2 (referred to
aboveV but repeats clause 1. Thus
the reference was right, but the
clause was changed and is now
wrong.
“Regular meetings” again come
in for their share of confusion, for
in Article VII it is specifically
stated that regular meetings are
to be held according to sections
devoted entirely to dues and taxes.
Editorial Section Faulty
Perhaps most serious of all is
the faulty system of selecting the
editors of the publications. It is
true that the executive council
may appoint editors and managers
for all student-authorized publi
cations, except those otherwise
provided for in the constitution.
That exception proves the joker.
Officers elected, according to Ar
ticle V, include the editors of the
Oregon Daily Emerald and of the
Oregana. As for the publications
committee, if it is held to its con
stitutional power, it may recom
mend candidates to the executive
council. The council may approve
or reject nominees. However, it
is not given appointive power.
Supposedly then, the committee
and council may approve the stu
dent body choice, but have no
power to affect or effect the stu
dent selection.
By-laws Prov.e Troublesome
Even the by-laws tend to show
that editors are elected. Article
IV of those rules calls for special
elections to fill vacancies in the
Emerald editorial chair. Keeping
attuned to the general confusion,
the organization of the orchestra
is referred to by talking about the
Glee club.
Among the permanent resolu
tions is a provision made for a
historian appointed each year by
the now defunct student council,
and a provision for sanction of
^ committees by that same body.
The student affairs committee
might take over those powers if
the constitution did not make the
affairs committee a depository of
all remaining “constitutional"
powers of the abolished council;
hence these powers declared in the
by-laws and in permanent resolu
tions are not given to the newei
body. - o
Some Faults Lie Deep
Faults not so self-evident or
reading but causing faulty work
ing of the administrative machin
ery, are to be found in the lack o:
any provision for calling commit
tees together. For instance, thi
, reborn publications committee ha;
' a predetermined membership. an<
at least oue meeting each year 1
required of them. No one calls
the meetings together.
The president of the associated
students is chairman of the publi
cations committee, and it might
be inferred that he would call the
meetings upon request. Then arises
the question—whose request ?
How many must call for the meet
ing ? Must the president then call
a meeting?
Errors May Be Remedied
Most of these errors are the re
sult of faulty drafting of the
amendments passed last year.
More truly, those blame-worthy
are the person or persons who
were in charge of preparing the
revised constitution. When Arti
cle IV, which dealt with the stu
dent council, was stricken from
the constitution, each succeeding
article was numbered one less than
its former number, thus destroying
all reference relations.
Thus Article IV was changed to
Article III, Article V to Article
IV, etc. Clauses and sections (
were muddled in the same way.
The section and clause changes,
however, were provided for in past
amendments. These errors may
be remedied by editing the correct
copies of the constitution.
Again, new offices and proce- ]
dure were provided without inval
idating the old. Two conflicting
sections of equal rank dispute for
supremacy and attempt to deter
mine the elective-appointive por
tions of the editors of publica
tions. When the changes were in
corporated in the past, no old ma
chinery was cleared away. To
clear it away requires either a
long series of amendments to be
voted upon, or a complete revision
and rewriting of the constitution.
November 26 Set
As Date for First
Of Recital Series
Members of Music School
Will Be Featured
Iu Concerts
A new series of student recitals
has been announced by the school
of music, the first to be given the
evening of Tuesday, November 26,
in the school of music auditorium.
Professor George Hopkins is in
charge of arrangements for the
recitals, it was announced. Stu
dents of different members of the
music faculty will be presented.
Emphasis is placed by Professor
Hopkins on the fact that this new
series is to be informal in char
acter. Concerts are to be short,
he said, and will start early and
end early.
The purpose of this informal
series is to create more interest
in music students and their work,
according to Professor Hopkins.

Interior Design
Department
Five girls, honor students in in
terior design, of the school of ar
chitecture and allied arts, learned
the practical side of interior dec
orating, when they spent two days
of last week visiting the interior
decoration department of the Lip
man, Wolfe & Co. store.
I hey were very courteous and
eager to show us through the de
partment and explain everything,”
said Harriette Holland, one of the
girls making the trip who also
, expressed the appreciation of the
group for the opportunity to
broaden their experience.
Their host took them through
the furniture department and ex
plained the different woods used
in making furniture, and traced
the history of furniture from the
; time the first table was built,
through the various periods, down
to the present time. In the work
shop of the department the girls
learned how draperies were made
’ and visited a furniture factory.
They also visited different places
that were being decorated by the
store which brought them into
direct contact with the decorator’s
task of salesmanship and the art
of satisfying personal taste with
a specified amount of money.
The fact that two University of
Oregon graduates. Roberta Douty
and Grace Coey, are employed in
the interior decoration department
of the store, added to the girls
enjoyment.
Those who made the trip were
Harriette Holland, Joan Patter
son, Helen Holt, Hilda Wanker anc
Evelyn Kjosness.

The 1929 Homecoming has come
to a very successful end and the
campus is settling down to its
regular routine of affairs. The
satisfying victory over Oregon
State Saturday afternoon was fol
lowed by a full program of varied
entertainments for the visiting
alumni. The two Homecoming
dances held at Gerlinger hall and
McArthur court were gay affairs.
Like all Homecomings, many old
acquaintances were renewed and
new friendships made — all of
which will give everybody a happy
outlook for next Homecoming.
