Graduate Manager Lists Benefits of $5 Card Stop, Look, Listen When Paying Time Comes, Says Rosson ‘'What Does ASUO Membership Mean?’. Question Put to Students Before Registration By HUGH E. ROSSON Graduate Manager To Oregon Students: "fit THAT does membership in the associated students, University of ’ * Oregon, really mean? Is it worth five dollars a term ? Shall I ecomonize by forbearing this membership ? These and other questions will undoubtedly occupy the minds of many students in making them decision regarding membership in the A.S.U.O. each term under the present optional system. There can be little doubt, how-' ever, that the student who will clearly and honestly reason hi3 questions to a sound conclusion will accept the membership offer. Unity Needed First, it is only through this or ganization that the entire student body may be united in the conduct of student government, student expression and the sponsorship of a well-rounded program of extra curricular activities. Secondly, the activities spons ored by the A.S.U.O. afford an op portunity to develop particular aptitudes and tlaents and to give actual training in the development of qualities of leadership. Dollars and Cents Thirdly, to the student who con siders lightly any obligation or ad vantage as a member of the Uni versity community, and who does not care for active participation in A.S.U.O. activities, there remains a bare financial consideration. And here again, it would seem a sound conclusion must result in the pur chase of his membership. ' A review of the past term, for instance, shows that events for which the general public paid ad mission or other charges of §18.50 were given to the student body members on presentation of the student body card. It is anticipated that during the winter term the actual value of the card in admis sions, subscription to the Emerald, etc., will be approximately §11. Included in these privileges are admission to all basketball games with the exception of possible championship playoffs, admission to all concerts and lectures spons ored by the organization, debates, subscription to the Oregon Daily Emerald and admission to such other events as may be later pro vided by the executive council. It remains only to said that the privileges offered by membership and particularly the ridiculous fig ures for admission to the various events scheduled are possible only as a co-operative project in which practically the entire student body will unite. It is simply imperative, if our program in athletics, con certs, lectures, forensics, publica tions, and student government are to be maintained that there be united support of the student body in maintaining membership each term in the organization. Student Car Owners Asked to Sign Today With O. L. Rhinesmith \ LL students with cars are ^ reminded that they must see O. L. Rhinesmith, enforce ment officer, at McArthur court today to secure campus driving permits and the new regulation sticker. All drivers must have signed up by evening or they will not be allowed to drive on the cam pus. r— ‘Only Five Dollars’ That is what Graduate Manager Hugh E. Kosson, above, says about the optional student body mem bership, which will be offered to students when they pay their fees today.

Courses 300 Students Receive Work Through FERA ; Employment Increased By 40 for Term I ~ ~ Regulations Cited | Demand for Board and Room Great, Other Jobs Needed An increase of 40 students mak ing the total 300 will receive F. E. R. A. work this term, according to Earl M. Pallett .chairman of the Federal Student relief committee. Reappointment of 135 old students who were employed last term and have fulfilled the requirements will automatically resume work this year. New appointments, 165, in clude old (not employed last term) and new students will receive their notice Wednesday or Thursday of this week. An allotment of $3,525 by the federal government to the Univer sity each month for the entire school year keeps many desirable students in school who would oth erwise be unable to attend, Pallet stated. Work Requirements As soon as a student receives his appointment he should report at once to the person indicated in the notice for his assignment. The no tice will state the number of hours each student has been allotted and this schedule must be followed carefully. If the student is ill, or for any reason is not able to work the total hours assigned, he should see or notify Gladys Kerlee, local 301. The work includes library assist ance, clerical work, stenography, research work, and ground im provements. This work does not displace work of regularly em ployed help, but it does allow the University to complete many pro jects which otherwise would re ceive no attention. Requirements for students who receive the F.E.R.A. work must be registered in the University for not less than ten hours of class work during the term, and maintain at least a one point average.

Alpha Delta Sigma Goes ‘Esquire’ In Annual Dance Krazy Kopy Krawl to Bo First Campus Event; Features Novel You’ve an invitation to a dance. Esquire—the magazine for men which everybody seems to be read ing is the inspiration for the dance which Alpha Delta Sigma presents to the campus at the Eugene Hotel at 9 o’clock on Saturday, January 5. The annual Krazy Kopy Krawl, which is the official dance of Al pha Delta Sigma, national adver tising honorary, has taken on the proportions of a very swanky af fair, and, according to predictions, is going to be one of the most novel and exciting dances of the term. The decorations are being de signed in a style that will carry out the motif of the “Esquire.” Wall panels are being created to carry out fashion plate styles as decreed by the magazine that knows “what’s what.” Also, “Little Esquie” the sophisticated little •rnan that has so many adventures on the cover of the magazine will be given new hoops to jump through and will give those in at tendance much meriment. This lit tle figure, a creation of Sam Ber man, has been much talked of, and is in the habit of doing very un usual things. Well, little “Esquie” is due for a whole new role of tricks. Jack Wilkenson, Harold Price, and Ralph Schomp are creating and constructing the decorations for the affair. Favors will be given to each couple and they promise to be most novel.

Boyer, Renner, Plea For Student Interest In Campus Activities ‘Failure to Participate Spells Blindness To Opportunity,’ Warns President Of University "^TESTRRDAY President C. V. Boyer made the following statement A regarding student government on the University campus: “The A.S.U.O. is an association of students for the purpose of self government. Its continued existence is evidence of the ability of the students to govern themselves wisely, to take charge of their own ac tivitis, to satisfy the needs of various groups, to give intelligent and effective expression to their sympathies and ideals. The dissolution of the association may be brought about either (1) by direct action of the faculty because of demonstrated inability of students to conduct their Payments for Oregana Will Be Made Today During Registration pAYMENTS will be collected from all students who sub scribed for the Oregana during registration procedure today. Those students who paid 50 cents down when they signed up will be taxed $1, and those who subscribed for the year book, but did not make a down pay ment will be required to pay $1.50. Students desiring to subscribe for an Oregana this term should see Newton Stearns before reg istering and arrange to make a payment when they sign up.

It i3 the latter danger that threatens the existence of the A.S.U.O. at the present time. Weak Points Exist “Student self-government, like democracy, has its weak spots. There is a question as to whether the students as a whole have the mature intelligence to govern themselves wisely. There is also a question as to whether they see the importance of self-government and hence wil lrise to the responsibil ity. There is no question but that the faculty could manage student affairs economically and probably control athletics and student pub lications so as to create less hostile criticism. The faculty might, in deed, interfere effectively with various other group organizations. “But management from without does not make for the cost com plete development of the individ ual. It weakens his moral fibre by taking from him freedom of choice. It leaves him intellectually stagnant. It deprives him of initia tive and fails to develop powers of judgment. It leaves him unaware of his social responsibilities and unconscious of his social depend ence. Citizenship Urged “A man can function as a good citizen only by promoting the wel fare of the group. To the group, the individual is responsible for nine-tenths of his own develop ment. The more highly civilized the group, the greater the oppor tunity for the expansion of the in dividual. For these reasons the more active and intelligent the part played by the individual in self-government, the more nearly he will come to living the kind of life that is worth while and making such life possible for others. “Active participation in the A.S. U.O. is the best kind of training for citizenship in a democracy and a very definite way to self-develop ment. Failure to participate spells blindness to opportunity.” PRESIDENT C. V. BOYER Kenner Speaks Joe Renner, president of the as sociated students, makes the fol lowing plea for student interest, in the campaign for A.S.U.O. mem bership. "As another year and another term roll around, I know that the majority of students are looking forward to the varied extra-cur ricular program offered by the A.S.U.O. In the athletic field Ore gon has promise of another great basketbal team. Already the old timers are reminiscing about the great team of ’25 and forecasting a succesful season. “Our team’s pre-season showing has been very impressive and now that they are home from an ex tensive barnstorming trip I am sure that every loyal Webfoot will want to be at McArthur court to see them do battle with the hard fighting Washington State Cou gars next Friday night. We will play a two-game series with each team on our own floor, thus giving (Please turn to page 4)
