But before they could get down to improving the forest, they had to carve out a home for themselves in the woods. The picture to the left shows a group of them clearing a camp site. In the middle are two boys pounding tent stakes while a third carries pine branches for a l>cd. The boys at the right are lined up for “chow,” the day's most welcome feature, many of the campers having been long months “on the road.” Close-ups of some of the 200 appear at the top.

In addition a number of examples of pottery art, prepared by the class under the direction of Miss Victoria Avakian, will be in cluded. The hewn sandstone works of art actually mark a revolutionary change in academic study, and un der the direction of Oliver Laur ence Barrett, head of the sculp ture department, students are turn ing to nature for inspiration and are relegating plaster casts to the attic. A profound desire to realize pure form in plastic art expression has resulted in the banishment of modelling clay. Favorable critical comment has been received on this new form of sculpture from various places in the East, where the American In (Continued on Page Four) Make Your 'Fight for Liberty ——— . EDITORIAL - -- CENATOR LaFOLLETTE, who dedicated his life to a battle ^ for the people, once said: “Each generation must make its own fight for liberty.’’ YOU are part of a generation of University of Oregon stu dents. You have an opportunity to march to the polls and make your generation’s fight for liberty today. And what are ^>u going to do about it? Are you going to be turned back by quasi-politicians defending their own selfish rights? Are you going to be talked out of it by those guarding their per sonal interests? It is up to you, and you alone. We have no jealous interest in the amendments on which you will vote today. Our race in the student body is run. But we are thinking of the generations to come, and so should you. At the polls today you will have an opportunity to cast off the yoke of alumni influence that has weighed upon the student body. Throughout the land leading colleges have voted to con fine their government to students and faculty men. Let us follow their example today. It is an opportunity which we should not forsake. Don’t fool yourself that it will come again. Those who promise they will revise the constitution have said nothing whatsoever about confining legislative powers to stu dent and faculty. Their silence speaks louder than words. If they had any intentions of eliminating alumni membership, they would have declared them by this time. Do not misinterpret our statement. We appreciate the in terest the alumni have shown in our government. BUT WE THINK STUDENT GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE CON TROLLED COMPLETELY BY THE UNDERGRADUATE BODY AND THE FACULTY. Help run the A. S. U. 0. now, not when you’re out of college and making your way. We recommend to you today all amendments, save only one. That one is the proposal which seeks to make membership in the associated students optional. The present financial structure of the A. S. U. 0. virtually forbids such action. We hold no brief for that condition. We admit it exists partially because of the disappointing gate receipts at last football sea son. But we must face facts. The associated students cannot survive the decrease in income which would result from op tional membership. Better than optional membership, we favor a reduction in fees. If today’s optional membership amendment is defeated, there is no reason why the executive council should not con sider lowering A. S. U. 0. fees to twelve or nine dollars a year, instead of the fifteen as at present. We believe that to be a far better solution than the shift to optional membership. For, in the last analysis, it is the state board of higher education which must decide upon fees. And the state board will be in a much more strategic position to act if there is a recommenda tion to reduce A. S. U. 0. fees, rather than to make their pay ment optional. So go to the polls today. Vote YES on all amendments except that which involves optional membership. MAKE YOUR FIGHT FOR LIBERTY. DON’T LET ANYONE TALK YOU OUT OF IT.

To day, also, will decide the fate of several proposed A. S. U. O. con stitutional amendments. The polls will be at the YMCA hut from 9 o'clock this morning until 3 p. m. this afternoon, but with the single ticket there will be little or no feverish rushing to cast votes for the most favored candidates, since the outcome does not need any serious thought to figure out. Tongue's ticket was the only one in the field for nomination of student body officers at a general student meeting a week ago and has remained the only one since that date. lanuiunii's The lone ticket will be headed by Tongue, running for president of the Associated Student body for the year 1933-34, His home is in Hillsboro, and he is a member of Chi Psi fraternity.

None of those who sought information on the matter seemed to know who the reported office-seek ers were, but some of the names mentioned were Howard Bobbitt, Butch Morse, Bruce Hamby, Chuck Wishard, George Bennett, Evelyn Kennedy, Parks Hitchcock, Malcolm Bauer, Jack Robertson and Le Roy Shaneman. The Emerald was unable to reach student officers for a con firmation or denial of the ru mor, but those close to the sit uation said they were sure or.ly one candidate for each post was printed on the ballot. It was pointed out that all petitions to run for office had to be in by last Saturday nijrht, and that only Tom .Tongue and his tick et complied with the orders. The rumor was dismissed b^ members of the Emerald staff as one of the wild reports which generally precede elec tions, although someone said they actually expected to see additional names on the ballot today.

Membership In ASUO Involves Much Interest Optional Clause Is To Be Decided Upon OPINION IS DIVIDED Judiciary Group Says Proposals May Be Voted on O.K.; Other Changes Up Before the student body today is one of the most vital measures ever to appear on the ballot at an A. S. U. O. election. It is a proposal to make membership in the associated students optional, thus giving students the privilege to determine whether they wish to pay the $15 assessed annually for membership in the organiza tion. Of course, even should the amendment pass today, it has been pointed out that final action in the matter would be up to the state board of higher education, which fixes what the fees at each school in the system shall be. This particular amendment has aroused considerable controversy on the campus. Some students say its passage would wreck al most completely all activities of the associated students, including athletics, publications and other events. Others claim the finan cial distress which assails so many students and families makes the passage of the proposal impera tive. Taken by and large, the amendment has aroused more con troversy than any proposed con stitutional change in several years. Judiciary Says O. K. Additional interest was injected into the situation yesterday when Bill Bowerman, vice-president of the student-body, requested a rul ing from the judiciary committee as to whether or not the amend ments could be printed legally on tlie ballot. Bowerman pointed out that the proposals were not head ed correctly when they were read by him before last week’s A. S. U. O. meeting and when they were printed in the Emerald in accordance with the constitutional provision which governs amend ments. Bowerman further said it wa3 not designated clearly whether the proposals were amendments to "the by-laws or the constitution proper, and also that other mat ters in the headings.were not made very clear. The judiciary com mittee, however, ruled that if the body of the amendment were pub lished correctly, the proposal could go on the ballot. Therefore, the i amendments stand, and will be voted on duly today. Only Students und Faculty Other amendments propose to change the personnel of the ath (Continued un 1‘ai/c l!our) Damage Suit Will Be Enacted In Law SchooVs Mock Trial By BILL BELTON While Attorneys Otto Frohn mayer and Robert Leedy are busy preparing opposite sides on the case of “Old Beer for New,’ to be tried next week, the finishing touches are being applied to the smooth streams of oratory which will pour forth this evening as the case of the “Ditched Autos” comes to trial before Judge Orlando John Hollis in the moot court, to be held in room 105 Oregon building at 7:30 p. m. Tonight Milton C. Price, plain tiff, acting through the law firm of Tom Chatburn and George Lay man, will sue Harry C. Alexander, defendant, for the sum of $5176.50 damages. Alexander is represent ed by the firm of Urlin Page and Kenneth Proctor. Facts of the case are as fol lows: Alexander was driving his Buick car on the Pacific highway when a tire blew out, causing his car to careen to the other side of the road. Price was approaching in his Ford car from the north. The cars collided and both men were seriously injured, and were taken to the hospital where they were both confined for several weeks. Alexander paid for his car repairs, while Price's car was covered by insurance. It remains for Chatburn and Layman, by virtue of persuasion, deception, strategy, and ingenuity, to extract from the pockets of the client of Page and Proctor $5000 (Continued on Page Four)
