Revise It Again
T1THEN is a junior not a junior? Answer that one. It’s
T ’ far from definite in the A. S. U. 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.

■*" 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.

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.

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.

Party To Send Out Messages
From Snow-Capped Summit
One of the most interesting sci
entific expeditions ever sponsored
by the Eugene Obsidians will be a
trip to the middle sister this week
end by Jack Ahearn, graduate
physics student, Paul Lafferty,
varsity swimmer, and “Dot” Dot
son, and Harry Wright, members
of the club.
The party plans to ascend the
snow-covered peak for the first
time this year, and to remain over
night. This will be the first time
that anyone has ever spent a night
on the mountain. Also, for the first
time, experimental short wave
messages will be sent from the
summit.
The purpose of the trip is to en
able Ahearn, who is specializing
on radio in his studies, to complete
a thesis he is preparing for his
Ph.D. degree.
Paul Lafferty has made plans
for the expedition and Dotson will
go along as photographer to take
pictures of the affair. Wright, who
won the Obsidian winter outing
ski race, will also be with the
group.
The group plans to take along a
Breakfast these days means
toasted Williams Bread
and coffee.
Do you know that 36 out of 38
houses on the campus serve Wil
liams Milk Maid Bread? ’S’ fact!
Reason why ? Cooks and house
managers know that Williams
Bread makes keen toast. They
know it has plenty of nutrition per
square inch. And they know that
the college man and woman has
not yet been found who tires of
that Williams Bread flavor.

ing and remain near the top of the
10,000 foot peak all night. They
will leave here Friday and spend
Saturday night on the mountain,
unless adverse weather conditions
force them to postpone the expe
dition.
Ahearn wishes to send out his
messages from midnight until
dawn, most favorable time for ra
dio transmission. He will broad
cast messages with a key in code
so that only experienced amateurs
will be able to receive them. His
call number is W-7-BAB, and he
