O. constitution, so far in fact that two men aspiring to high offices in the student body next year found themselves ineligible yesterday morning just before they were to be nominated. That such a situation should arise at the last minute to blast the hopes of two men to run for office is indeed regret table. It shows that something is still decidedly wrong with the A. S. U. O. constitution, even though that document has been revised each year for the last two. Another constitution revision committee must be appointed immediately to settle once and for all the definition of junior class standing. This ineligibility muddle must be cleared for all time. The lines in the constitution which caused all the trouble are in Article III, Section 2, Clause 1. They read: “Candidates for the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, executive man and executive woman must have completed at least seven terms at the University of Oregon and must be of junior stand ing at the time of the nomination.” Now what does "junior standing” mean? It is not defined in the clause above. University regulations, however, do specify the meaning. The judiciary committee took this interpretation, it being the only one available and reliable. And here’s the important part of the committee's report. ‘‘The committee wishes to point out that the students by way of constitutional amendment can change eligibility, rules for student office; The committee recommends that Article III, Section 2, Clause 1, be amended so as to make clear and certain the desires of the student body. . . . The committee does wish to take this opportunity of culling attention to the fact that a constitutional amendment to this section is desirable for pur poses of clarification and uniform regulation." The constitution must be changed to define eligibility exactly to avoid future trouble. Loafin’ and Listenin’ 1Y>|'USIC across the waters in the cool evening will come It) ■*" the campus again this spring. The first outdoor concert will be giver. Sunday evening at 7, witli John Stehn's second concert band on the mill-race platform. The time, place, and music are right. The setting, shrined in the sentimental memories of all Ore gon grads, is something that can be duplicated at no other school in the state. And the band is the best of its kind west of the Kockies. Last year’s experiment with the mill-race concerts was a distinct success, from every angle. Loafing and listening arc pleasant on Sunday evening. Prom the lawn of Villard, from the Anchorage, from tin fence near the A. & A. A. building, from the shady tie-ups along the race almost anywhere in the vicinity is suitable to loll around and listen to our band. Of course, the ringside scats are unsurpassable. And there is the shimmering race between, to amplify and clarify the sound. Watching the drummer is a favorite pastime with many folk, and there's no better place for it. "Poet and Peasant,” von Suppe's perennial favorite, will get a good hearing Sunday night. Let’s go, loaf in the cool of the evening, and listen. What About It, Greeks? \ T the head of the grade list for winter term. Sigma hall ha i forced the student body to realize again that the women’s grasp of the highest grade averages is not perpetual. Neither ure the Creek-letter organizations realizing to the fullest their purpose of all-around achievement. Last year was the first time that a men’s group had preceded ail organizations in scholarship. Again this year they ure show ing that they can get results from their studies. Not only did Sigma hall lead the list, but Friendly hall and Omega were in the first ten. The fact that the non-fraternity and nou-^orority average are respectively higher than the fraternity and sorority grades should give the Creeks something to think about. With all the advantages they claim for their organizations, they are losing something if they cannot maintain a scholastic standard at least equivalent to those who are not within their chapter rolls. Universities wcic established and me maintained piu-cmi nently tor lire purpose jt di^emmating knowledge. Let th-» T H € £orridor By V. H. Hal Several people ..have confessed their tardiness to me and request ed that I recognize their procras tination as an unavoidable human characteristic and set the deadline for the Hamlet essay contest for ward to tonight at 6 o’clock. I suggested this to the other sponsors of the contest and se cured permission for the extension. The judges have agreed to pass final judgment on the essays to morrow evening. The prizewin ning essays will be published in this column Saturday morning. It is certain that some students have prepared themselves to write this Hamlet essay and, because of .academic interference, been un able to materialize their ideas. This delay in calling for them will provide an opportunity for a last minute article. Remember, the most convincing essay of not over 500 words will win the leather bound volume of the complete works of Shakespeare. It will be a discussion, as the aspirants re member, of the play “Hamlet” and whether it is purely a melodrama, a profound psychological study of an introvert, or a problem play about revenge. Those who have already submit ted essays may call for them and make what revisions they see fit in the event that they were forced to write unsatisfactorily to them selves because of yesterday’s dead line.
