Needless to Augment Council
rpHE suffragette movement is not dead. Officers of the Asso
ciated Women Students have petitioned the committee now
working on revision of the A. S. U. O. constitution to include
an amendment providing for the placing of the A. W. S. presi
dent on the executive council.
The argument is about as follows: the A. W. S. has a mem
bership of about half the students on the campus, who are
entitled to representation; the interests of the A. W. S. can
be better co-ordinated with those of the A. S. U. O. if the presi
dent is included on the central governing body of the latter
organization.
These arguments are essentially shallow. The women stu
dents are afforded ample representation on the A. S. U. O.
executive council by the presence of the secretary of the student
body and senior-woman. To hold that a subsidiary organization
should be doubly represented under the terms of the proposed
amendment is to justify a possible claim of the. sophomore class
or some other class to a position for its president on the execu
tive council. The Oregon Yeomen, independent men’s organiza
tion, could logically claim similar representation if such a prece
dent should be set. u
The interests of the A. W. S. are naturally in harmony with
those of the A. S. U. O.; there has been no clash of policy be
tween the two organization^ for the A. W. S. is a distinct body,
complete in itself, with activities that are intrinsically valuable
without concerning the welfare of the student body as a whole.
There is no need to exaggerate a fancied interlocking of interests
by forcing an artificial union between the two administrations.
The executive council has 14 regular members, and the com
plaint has been made by its members that its size is unwieldy.
Any change made in its personnel should be a retrenchment, not
an addition. ,
Good Vodvil and Freedom
IITIIEN students are responsible for a production which
’ ~ should come up to standards other than their own, they
lose faith, interest, and originality. When the Junior Vodvil
directorate, an aggregation of students comparatively unexpe
rienced in stage productions, find their style cramped and altered
by the supervision of the faculty, they voice their disapproval.
We are speaking of the 1931 show which will be staged May
1 and 2. The directors of this show arrived at some sort of an
agreement with officials of the University regarding type, re
hearsals, and so forth, and, led by their only too human desire
to produce an all-campus show, embarked upon the venture.
They are being held to their agreement. Held, perhaps, even
more than they expected. A clever little one-act play was
clipped because one might believe that Little Nell had been
done wrong by. A humdinger of a speakeasy scene was changed
to a cafe scene because “speakeasies are vulgar.” The tone of
the entire show was changed.
The tone of the Junior Vodvil was elevated, beyond a doubt,
by the promised interference of the officials of the administra
tion. Undoubtedly the show will be in better taste than had
it been left entirely to student control. The Vodvil will contain
many, many clever acts, though not all original nor exactly in
accord with student taste. We will safely say that the show
will be on more of a “big-time'' level and more indicative of
good showmanship.
But this is not the point. Whether the Junior Vodvil is a
good show or not, the students themselves should be allowed to
produce the kind of performance they wish. The show should
be by students and for students, or it should be abolished.
This year’s production is already in the finals and should
be carried through to success. It contains first-rate songs and
acts which can be excellently presented, even though they may
not be original. Directorate, with your “sticktoitiveness,” we
wish you the utmost in luck!

THE UNIVERSITY BEYOND
(Horizons is a series of edi
torial articles prepared by mem
bers of the Emerald staff in an
attempt to suggest possibilities
and opportunities in the future
of the University of Oregon.
Definite constructive criticisms,
perhaps at times appearing for
the present rather Utopian in
nature, will make up the bulk of
the writings.)
“There was a time when men
spoke of a ‘musical education’
or an ‘Education in Music’—
now thinking men speak of ‘Edu
cation Through Music.’ ”
This sentence is borrowed from
a bulletin issued by the Univer
sity of Oregon music school in
1924. It is a neat and concise
expression of the evolution of
the educational attitude toward
musical performance and appre
ciation.
The sincere belief that the de
velopment of musical under
standing and interest should be
an important part of the heri
tage each student derives from
his years at college has been a
major principle of this Univer
sity’s administration for a num
ber of years. To this end every
effort has been made to make
the school of music of service
to a broad cross section of the
student body without subordin
ating its value to the smaller
group of “majors” who make it
their chief interest.
The mental habit of looking
down upon music as being of in

centric people of pseudo-genius
has happily passed into limbo.
The average college student has
grown to respect music and mu
sicians; the problem today is to
promote in him an active per
sonal interest and participation,
either active or passive.
Educators are slowly coming
round to the view that reasoning
intelligence is not the only ave
nue by which a student may be
approached the importance of
training the emotions is being
more and more widely appre
ciated. The University was re-,
cently granted a liberal endow
ment by the Carnegie Corpora
tion for research into the bear
ing of musical education on im
provement of mental and emo
tional reactions.
Meanwhile the number of stu
dents actively participating in
musical performance is steadily
growing. Not so very far beyond
the horizon lies the day when
music will be considered one of
the most important fields of stu
dent activity; when general re
spect will have become general
enjoyment and general partici
pation.

OUR TEA-DATE RULES FOR
MEN
1. When a young lady asks you
over to her house for tea, accept
immediately, but be sure to eat a
hearty meal before you drop
around to her domicile. You will
then be prepared to thank her for
the excellent grub when you are
about to leave.
2. When you arrive at the house
take any convenient seat, prefer
ably one near a well lighted part
of the room if you desire seclusion.
(You see, sorority girls never fre
quent illuminated localities.)
3. After you have waited about
half an hour your girl friend will
come rushing down the stairs and
will ask you if you've been waiting
long. Manage to smile politely
and tell her that you haven’t n<>
ticed the passage of the time. She
will then sit down beside you, and
comment on the weather. This is
your cue to follow up with a gen
eral discussion of economics, evo
lution, well-digging, or any other
suitably deep subject.
4. It will be necessary for you
to rise at various times to change
the record on the phonograph, or
to change the station dial, if it
happens to be a radio, when some
beauty culture expert begins to
lecture on the prevention of moles
on the shoulder. When the need
for such an action becomes neces
sary, various people about the room
will glance suggestively your way,
and the only way to avoid the sit
uation is to go into the next room
or to shut the musical machine off
entirely.
5. Pretty soon it will be chow
time. Some girl with a lusty voice
will stick her head into the room
and shout, “Soup’s on!” Imme
diately there will be a mad rush
for the kitchen, and the best way
to avoid being trampled to death
is to grab hold of the chandelier
and swing yourself to safety.
6. When you eventually get out
into the kitchen, if you’re lucky,
after the prom

ifter all, taking into consideration

7. When the “lunch” is over, ev
eryone will retire to the drawing
room for dancing. W’hen dancing,
it is correct form to bump into ev
eryone at least once each time you
go around the room. Thus people
will believe that you’re having a
hilarious time, and if someone
doesn’t turn out the lights and
shoot you in the back, you’ll be
acclaimed the social success of the
evening.
8. Throughout the evening a lit
tle game, called find the darkest
corner, will be in order. It will be
occupied, of course, all evening,
but the best thing for you to do
will be to dance around in a circle,
and when the couple in possession
get up to dance, join the mart
dash for the corner. The first cou
ple there wins a point, and the
dirty looks of all the other cou
ples in the room.
9. About this time the house
mother will wander in, seat her
self in a chair, and pick up a mag
azine. This is the high sign, and
all the men in the room will im
mediately remember that they
have to start studying. You must
then bid your lady friend good-bye,
after telling her what a wonderful
time you’ve had.
10. Now, the next time you are
asked to go on a tea date, keep the
above rules in mind.
