Those who were elected recently in the polls will be installed in their posi tions and the incumbent students will join the ranks of “has beens.” This year's student administration has been an exceptionally active one as well as constructive in the things it has accomplished. The reframing of the whole A. S. U. O. consti tution stands out as the outstanding achievement of the year. Involving as il did hundreds of hours of work of remodelling, the constitution as accepted by the students is in better working condition than it has been for several years. What else has the Stoddard administration ac complished ? It has refinanced the A. S. U. O. by floating $150,000 in bonds to wipe out the student body debt. It has abolished several useless and archaic tra ditions. It has selected a new football coach and in pointed toward an era of expansion and activity in athletics. It has successfully handled the strained rela tions with Oregon State college over sportsmanship at athletic contests. It has reorganized the Greater Oregon commit tee to function at increased efficiency about the state through city chairmen. It reapportioned the associated student body of fices on the executive council and subsidiary com mittees so that students have the majority vote in all cases. Besides these major changes it lias successfully carried out the routine duties which go with a school year. Oregon owes Tom Stoddard and his student assistants a lot for what they have done. Today’s inauguration assembly is an opportune time to show its gratitude by full attendance at the ceremonies. Why an Emerald? \ SYMPHONY without its leader, a band of sheep without its herder, or an army without its captain might well bo likened to a university with r.o publication through which harmony, inter est, and complete understanding may be realized. As a newspaper of the associated students, the Oregon Daily Emerald aims to maintain the honor and respect shown by the students during past ad ministrations. Through its columns it attempts to transmit all news of a type deserving publication, all in a non-partisan manner. Its editorial columns are devoted only to the advancement of worthy ideas and to suggestions for those ideas deemed unwise. They propound truly constructive criticism. From a toy paper of four columns once a week the Emerald has thrived and grown to the eight column daily emulating the most successful publi cation as a purveyor of student news nnd a forum for the pens of campus representatives. Progressive, one might call it. with its ideals always something a little better, something which will lead its readers, the students, to a much broadei understanding of life. Like the band of sheep, they may be herded and the Emerald may play the part of the kind shepherd, not to sit by and view Uni versity affairs, form personal and inadequate ideas, btit to mingle in them as one of them and reveal the sentiment in a just and proper way. Disseminating campus news in a spirit of equity and fail play, the Emerald acts the role of the real newspaper. Publicity seekers find each workei trained to treat all material from the standpoint of news value. News handled as news, question of campus importance handled from a most con structive viewpoint and with a true spirit of co operation brightens the records of the ending ad ministration. Throughout the coming year it is hoped that the success of the present is continued. No Need to Vote A MONTH or so ago it was estimated that but 40 per cent of the registered voters of Oregon would cast their ballots in the primary elections tomorrow. A month or so ago an editorial writer of a Eugene daily paper approved of that small percentage. Too much attention, he said, is turned toward politics in the state of Oregon. And the moral which most draw from that is that voters should interest themselves only in the general elections. Eut upon the vote in the primaries tomorrow depends to some extent the governorship of Oregon If the two major parties select the best men for the offices, and down the entire slate, then no citi zen need worry about the primaries. Either Demo cratic or Republican, that man who wins in the general elections should he a good man for the of fice. No need to vote in the general elections. But there is no interest in the primaries. If but 40 per cent cast their ballots, it is quite likely that two mediocre candidates will be chosen. What avail then the general election? If voters care to cast their ballots in but one election, it would be a far better plan to let the general elections pass ignored; a better plan to in sure good candidates in the primaries. Those primaries are tomorrow. Drumming on Drum Corps WITH the vast improvement shown in the Ore gon band over previous years come3 the sug gestion for further advancement through the or ganization of a drum corps. As one of the most effective pieces of machinery in the pep world such has been used to great advantage by many insti tutions. The trimnes3, snap and enthusiasm shown by such an organization adds polish to rallies and outdoor entertainment. Although applications for membership in the University of Oregon band are not overabundant, enough material could be obtained and trained into a successful drum corps. While it is impossible to send the full band combination, which usually con sists of about forty students, to many football games away from the campus, representation of the University may be had by the fifteen who are members of the corps. Material for membership in such an organiza tion need not be of the polished musician type. If such were the case, realization of this suggestion would be an impossibility. On the contrary, a group of men can be carefully trained under the supervision of a competent leader and shape down into form with only a few weeks' work. The University of Oregon is growing. T!s activi ties in the music world are beginning to reach far ther than tlie limits of the campus. A drum corps would prove an effective supplement to the bigger and better band. “A crowd consumes, it hates, and it dreams, but it never builds,” President Hoover told Yale stu dents in n psychology lecture. Anyone watching the Canoe Pete floats in the process of construction would agree with him tiiat. a crowd never builds. George Bernard Shaw says the way to eliminate poverty is to kill off everyone earning less than $3000 a year or wanting more. Does he want this whole world to himself ? Boston university women say that co-eds still blush. Our impressions of Boston would indicate that people there would blush at almost anything. When the knights of old used to wear tin clothes, a fall in the sock market probably made more noise than a half dozen Wall street crashes. Fraternity pledges in Maryland swiped three chickens whose total cost was $2500. Almost as expensive as most of these college chicks. They have pajamas now that look just like tux edos. If someone would get out a tux that felt like pajamas we’d vote him a national holiday. After all the trouble over cuspidors, Hank d< Rat suggests that the Emerald start a spiltonia bed.
