Frosh Elections Toned Down
"JWTO LONGER will freshman class elections he open to the
■*" ^ fraud, excessive campaigning, needless expense, and threat
ened disruption of class spirit which characterized the election
held last term by the class of 1935. An amendment to the A. S.
U. O. constitution, which will come before the student body
at its meeting late next month, will cure the ills.
More than three months ago the Emerald demanded an in
vestigation by campus leaders of the freshman class election
which had just been held. Disfranchisement of voters was known
to have dccurred, and the campaign throughout had been car
ried to an unwarranted extreme.
This new constitutional amendment will do away with the
greatest incentive to “over-political” freshman elections, by pro
viding that the election be held one or two weeks after the start
of fall term instead of three. This shorter time between the
opening of school and the combined nominating and electing
assembly will defeat any start of party machinery so destructive
to organized class workings. '
The presentation of signed student body cards in exchange
for ballots, will make identification more accurate and prevent
duplicate, illegal voting. But the cards should be punched, too,
though the amendment says nothing about that in exact words.
Party politics in the freshman class elections get another
death blow in the provision for a nominating committee which
will choose two candidates for each office. Dark horses may
enter the race by nomination at the assembly, and they should
make the competition interesting.
In this proposed constitutional amendment, brought out by
the N. S. F. A. committee, which is the campus’ most hard
working group, we can see nothing but the best for belter class
government.
Chapter Two Concluded
f'-'iHINA went to the Paris peace conference determined to oust
the Japanese from Shantung, and to compel the Japs to
eat their Twenty-One Demands, liut Japan had enlisted the sup
port of England, France, Italy, and Russia; the Treaty of 1915
was upheld. The complete transfer of German rights and leases
in Shantung and the acceptance of the first four groups of the
Twenty-One Demands was ratified by the powers of the world.
Then came the Washington conference, which Foreign Min
ister Yoshizawa termed the "great beacon standing alone in the
midst of Chinese international relations."
Baron Kato iwho deleted Group Five of the Demands in the
English version) asked confirmation of the Treaty of 1915 when
China protested that she had been coerced into acceptance.
Under the eyes of Lord Balfour and Secretary Hughes, the Bri
tish and American referees, the Shantung problem was ironed
out. For 3t> sessions of the conference, Japanese and Chinese
statesmen faced each other across the tables of Washington.
Shantung was to be returned to China, they decided. )Or rather,
it was to be returned to the great powers, under the open door.
China was to be exploited in unison, not by any single power.)
Having thought to pacify China with the return of the Gor
man leasehold—though keeping German port leases elsewhere -
Japan again asked for confirmation of the status quo. China
said that the Treaty of 1915 violated her sovereignty, and vio
lated her treaties with other nations. Secretary Hughes said that
the treaty rights of the United States were sufficiently safe
guarded under the existing arrangement. Great Britain con
curred. And Japan's treaty rights to a sphere of influence in
Manchuria and Mongolia were for the second time upheld.
'Coffee And’ at Concerts
FTER much ranting on the virtues and benefits ol good
music, after praising people and movements in the Univer
sity for their support of the "finer things of life," after taking
pains to inform various and sundry of the value of certain work
of the masters in music, the Emerald learns that it must be
more careful in the future. Its optimism has been shaken, its
pride has been shamed.
Figures compiled after the concert last Sunday afternoon
show that fully as many Eugene townspeople us students heard
the concert.
The townspeople came from one to ten miles to hear what
the University had to offer in the way of good music, presented
with all the trimmings of a highly-trained chorus and a full or
chestra. They shelled out two-bits to get in.
One hundred-fifty students cured enough for good music to
walk from one to ten blocks tor the same performance. They
got in free.

THANKS LECTURERS
To the Editor:
Now that the faculty lecture se
ries is completed perhaps a few
words of appreciation from an at
tending citizen of Eugene'would be
appropriate. To say that I ap
preciate them is hardly sufficient,
for somewhere in the back of my
head I feel an obligation to the
University administration and
especially to the lecturers, who so
assiduously and charitably devoted
their time for the benefit of the
public weal.
As an interested member of the
audience, however, I have a criti
cism which I cannot help but ex
press. Considering that the lec
tures were supposed to be for an
audience considerably above the
norm, the fact that a lecture is
read to an audience may be for
the best interest of some, but for
myself, and I think I speak of the
majority, this seems to be rather
stiltified and difficult manner
presenting that for which the lec
ture was intended.
In saying this, I feel as though
I am another one of those knock
ers who is always vain enough not
to hold his tongue and does not ap
preciate the efforts of others. This
is not the case, however, for I real
ize a written lecture often takes
more time to prepare than an oral
one, and credit is due him who is
so industrious.
In closing, I wish to apologize
for my criticism and thank you
for your cordial invitation to the
townspeople.
—JOHN B. SMITH.

Montana Debate
Squad Will Meet
Oregon Tonight
Congress Club Will Hear
Campbell and Reedy
Defend Affirmative
“Should the government control
industry?”
That will be the bone of conten
tion between the representatives of
the University of Montana and the
Oregon speakers in the debate to
begin tonight at 7:30.
The contest will be given before
the Congress club in the hall above
the University Co-op.
The question as formally stated
and of which Oregon will maintain
the affirmative is: “Resolved, That
congress should enact legislation
providing for the centralized con
trol of industry.”
The Oregon team will be made
up of Wallace Campbell and Rolla
Reedy.
Although the contest will be non
decision, the cross-examination
system will be used. Each speaker
will be allowed to speak for a 12
minute period. He will then be re
quired to submit to a six-minute
questioning by a member of the
opposing side. The rebuttals will
be of six-minute duration.
Another distinctive feature of
the meet will be the usage of the
conference style of debate which
was inaugurated by the speech di
vision in a freshman debate two
weeks ago.

Hey, take it easy! Everybody is
in a eonspiraey these days to give
us a lot of dope on a lot of dopes
they don’t iike or something. We’ll
make this a colyum yet. Probably
not today, though. The other half
of Bobar phoned that he was all
broken out with a rhythmic rasli
and was off writing poetry—So
here's half a so-called columnist
trying to remember enough dope
to write de dope about de dopes—
this gets involved, ’tenny rate—
We got a suspission. We got a
suspission about the Theta Chis.
A few years ago the Betas were
always conniving to get a man
prominent in something besides
athletics, and the Phi Delts kept
boosting a Phi Delt toward athletic
fame, and the S. A. E.’s always
had some bro they thought would
be a good journalist, all of them
trying to make one of the boys
prominent in some field, and now
comes Theta Chj, and we got a sus
pission they’re just trying to get
a man prominent, and they don't
care how—why else would they
keep telling us in sotto voice about
Gregg? We’re sorry if Gregg's
girl Hopkins up at the Pi Phi
shanty flipped him out, but this
ain’t no publicity colyum, and he
don’t get in again. Not if we know
Of course this ain't no publicity
coiyum. If we were to tell you to
go to the Cocoanut Grove on a Fri
day night we’d have our reasons.
You might go off down there and
get a few pointers from the mae
stro about the O’Melveny dip—or
Mahr Reymers doin’ the shoulder
butt—Kinney tip-tapping around
in the famous Kinney Backward
Balance—Why not emulate the
.masters? After ten lessons from
terpsiehorean Gargantua’s we can
almost guarantee a lot of things
we couldn’t have before.
The mighty have fallen! From
the haughty confines of the Theta
abode comes this luscious lump of
j.he ludicrous. That the august
presidential dignity of Kappa Al
pha Theta, vested in Beth Ann
Johnson, went amiss, whilst this
Miss tripped lightly to class one
day, one high heel after one low
heel, not to mention that they were
shoes of conflicting hue, and prexy
didn’t even turn cerise about the
gills till after class when her re
miss was pointed out. Well now,
what if you saw Emily Post eating
spaghetti with chop-sticks?
We got a blonde we want to
bring to your attenshun. The
.name: Joan Cox. You don’t know
her? Of course not. If you did
there would be little excuse for her
getting into the Feet of Clay Date
bureau. The gal is a Chi Omega,
.hut deserving anyway. She has a
winsome smile, genooyn ..blonde
tresses, and the prettiest pair of
pins—(not fraternity pins)—She's
agreeable too, because she asked
us to get into this, and we a ways
—well, anyway, look at the pichur.
—Of course, we
didn’t say we'd I
be match - mak
ers, too, but this
is almost a natur
al. How about
Thomas W. Mo
ran for the job?
The boy’s a run
ner, like in silk
hose. Curly
brown hair, athlete’s shoulders, the
real Barrymore profile. He says
that he and the Chi O’s are just
like this anyway. (Xi. He’s willing
to learn, and, well—he's real will
ling—
Hey, that’s enough for today,
•anyway. See yu later.

(Continued from Page One)
the results will affect every liv
ing group.
“The session this afternoon will
do much to show the campus just
how campus politics and student
government operate. Out of the
crowd on hand this afternoon we
hope to develop a large group of
students who will be interested
enough to continue these discus
sions and help us reach solutions
of the many problems which now
confront the Oregon student body
—questions of budgeting, of fi
nance, of athletics and publica
tions.
“If the campus wants good stu
dent government, it must back the
student administration. The re
ception accorded the discussion to
day will spell victory or defeat for
our plans for an awakened, active,
cooperating student body.”

sure-fire public attraction. The
Mendelssohn work, less florid, was
built on a striking four-note
theme, and worked to a full cli
max. Yet there were dull mo

the conductor to keep the music
moving. The chorus, the orches

work consistently, but high
pitched enthusiasm was not writ
