IN a few days membership .solicitors for the | ASUO will roll up their lit tie p;itls. put, I away t.ltcir mmc too worn pencils, and retire into the laziness of the spring lerm. No longer will the loyal supporters of the stu dent organization bend their every effort to display the desirabilities of the ASM) mem bership to reluctant auditors. Then orators and editorial writers will no longer harangue on the lack of interest exemplified by slu dent indifference to the plea for unified j support for the spring term activity pro gram. At the end of the membership drive (un less the complexion fo the figures luis changed to a great extent) the I uiversity will finish with less than a fifty per cent registered student membership in t ho ASM) — IdeSS THAN 11 ALU of the students in the University responding to an emergency call to save the extracurricular program for ALU tiie University. It is beyond argument that, with such support, under the optional plan of fee payment, the entire program of nth- j lelies. music, forensics, publications, and self-government must necessarily collapse after this term. The machine cannot run without: fuel. I There are only two answers to such a j predicament: student government must be i discarded in its entirety; or a compulsory fee must he assessed -a compulsory fee such | as the legislature and the governor have I authorized the state, hoard of higher educa- I tion to provide for. On one side is the complete destruction of some of the fundamental elements in a modern educational institution: on the other is an increased enjoyment of those activities I which have become an iutregal part of the American university. \yhich shall it be? For Your Information (Kditor’s note: Dccrjiii); the misdirected editorial efforts of "two or throe of the news papers of the state” and nlily conveying flic informed viewpoint to his own renders, Harris Kllsworth, editor of tile Roscburg Daily News-Review, opposes the attempts of a small group of students led by a few op- j portuuists to engineer a referendum of the student fee law. In subscribing to the edi torial stand of the ltoschiirg editor, the Km erald below ipiotes his enlightened editorial.) HT'WO or three ol' I lie newspapers of the stale, thinking that they were taking up tlie cudgels lor the poor student and not [ quite understanding what it was all about, have been unneeessarily disturbed In the aetion of the legislature in authorizing the slate hoard id higher eduealiou to eoutinue the eolleetion id' fees which take care of j student body activities and which, till this last year, have been collected by the iitsliiu j tions like a part of the regular tuition and administered by the assqriuted students, I'his Iasi year, owing to sonic doubt as to the legality of officially collecting these tees which were not expended through of ficial channels, the payment was made op tional. I’he action of the legislature 'has cleared up the question of the authority to collect the fee. Hut it has done more. It lias put the whole matter in the bands of (In state board of higher education where all matters of inition and fees properlv rest. It is responsible for the w ise use of all funds under its authority. In past years the associ ated students funds have been wisely handled ill general, though many thought thal too much emphasis was placed on atli h '- , : upoviaut as that is. ami too little on the cultural group of associated student ae- i tivities. As a matter of fact less than one dollar per term of the student fee of five dollars went into athletics last year, and taking a five-year period the average for athletics lias been ninety-seven cents. With the uniform fee charged to all. rich and poor students alike go in free to all these con certs, debates, oratorical contests, football and basketball games and all athletic con tests. have free subscription to the college daily paper and are eligible for membership in the college band and choruses—these and many more advantages which under optional fee system would go only to those who choose to pay the fee. Our Iheory of education today is that mere book learning is not enough. Some students enter i lege with no interest in music or art or aihlctics or in cooperation with fellow students, and it is one of the objects of education to develop those normal human interests, and if a student graduates without developing them his education is to that extent a failure. I'nder the new law the state hoard has Ihe responsibility of decid ing what educational opportunities shall he provided for those who come to it. how much it can furnish free through state support and how much it must charge to the student. From now on students, rich and poor, shall fan* alike. The action of a few publicity seeking and contentious students in one of our institutions in agitating for a referend um on the new law is, to say the least, deplora hie. Fine Feathers—So What? A^TKAKY are we of the maimer in which most women judge or evalmite the members of their own sex. and while the habit lias become so grounded in bur very natures that it is difficult to uproot, we feel dial it real attempt should be made. The basis upon which people are judged is unfortunately too often dictated by the home background. In a country which is supposedly democratic, in which our very constitution admits that all men are created equal and have equal rights to express them selves and make their lives rich in what this world has to offer, too many women have almost spoiled that intention by either con demning or condoning a woman for the style of her dress, the way she keeps her Itari, the, number of men she has in tow, her family, the amount of money she hits. A ml I his is t oo had. I'V so doing sight is lost of the things which really count, which contribute to ward a full and happy existence, and which determine the downright merits of a person. At college insult is added to injury by class ifying a girl by the sorority to which she belongs, or by how many friends she has or by the number of offices which she has held. And after all. just what do these things matter when it comes to actual values ' Why must eyes be forever shut to personality, character, and kindliness, intelligence, and appreciat ion 1 We are not attempting to say that women are alone in this evil, for men are guilty ot it also, but for some reason it is more Jlagrant among members of the fair sex. Too ready are coeds to snap up a piece of gossip, true or untrue, to he related to sev eral persons, all of whom "promise not to tell.” It is about time attention be given to the I actors which contribute toward "real” people wither than to people who can put on an impressive exterior and thereby hold 1 he world in sway. We will readily admit that "family” is ircqueutly a big item from a biological standpoint in deciding the weaknesses of a person, but it should not be given the tre mendous significance which it often receives among college women. In a way, the point is too obvious to dwell upon, but when, on every hand one hears the comment "she comes from a fine lnmily, thereby excusing all and sundry short comings, the suggestion assumes pro port ions. No person s family can justify an acceptance or a rejection of her without an examination ol the woman's own qualifica tions. Many who are allending college miss some ot 1 he most valuable and significant friendships possible b\ this habit of "class ing individuals. Personal prejudices are too strong, public opinion plays a too im port ant part. Overlooked are intelligence and character and chosen in their stead are physical attractiveness, money, clothes, and perhaps a good " line." loo many persons are equally guilt\ of this blindness, and were this campus alone to w ipe out prejudices and appearances, and gel down to I lie real question of ".just what bits this person to idler.' Oregon would establish not onl\ an individual reputation but an admirable one as well. \ crnal Agitators IV'KO.M hi*i 111• r ivyious vv here .slit* languished w11i 1 <■ dark and squally days spent them solves in the w ini rv world above comes ni>\v Persephone to join (’o’*os. \ud tin* pair reunited at their vernal mystorx are I railing' a havoc ol' languor. soft verdure and yearnings through the t'reeun country, presaging ill to aiuhitiou and dt^ll sobriety. d hey .have washed the hills in velvet greenery, and tlie.v have avldled the scholar ly head.

Tropical Picnic Seen in'Baboona’ By Cynthia Liljeqvist O.sa and Martin Johnson have their usual picnic in “Baboona." staging fake animal epics that re mind one of a fixed prize fight. A typical scene shows Osa marching up to a raging rhino with the aplomb of a duchess about to make a conquest. The poor beast looks distraught. “Can't, we be friends?” he pleads. He mozies around and decides to stroll up to Osie for a whiff and per haps a lick of her hand. After all one doesn't often see white meat in the jungle. During this breath-taking shot Martin shouts: “The incensed ani mal, by the way the most vicious ot his species, scents Osa and with prehistoric lust for human blood, charges. With death as a foot-and a-half tusk bearing down straight for her heart. Osa steadily aims and pierces the animal's brain.” Flourish! Which we might add was prob ably well drugged for the act, or so tirect it didn’t want to play any more. With the untouched potentiali ties of jungle films, we wonder at the drivel that comes flooding through from the tropics. With the love of the unusual in us, it is no wonder our pulse quickens to a sunset glorified profile of a jun gle at the haunting hour before ciark. The variegated sounds por tending drama at the watering hole sends a pleasurable shudder through us, or are you a romantic, too? Why, in heaven's name, don't they capitalize on this and use technicolor to bring to the city bred the velvet hues of the sub equator belt, or why doesn't some tricky March of Time photograph er go scientific and divulge under the searching rays of a micro scopic lens, the jungle charms that Anthony Adverse sensuously describes. O.sa and Martin are making a fancy living in their leopard tint ed plane, but personally we wish they could take a lesson from Se auoia. X-ray Talk to Be Barnett Subjee!

Dunn ... — _ A reep Into the Kegents Minutes They begin most formally with the highly legalized phrase, “Be it remembered”, a formality and strict observance of extreme an nalistic style which continues without relaxation through page upon page of great thick tomes, of heavy paper, lined within a huge pink perimeter. No careless ness, no lapse, not a flaw can be imputed to that record except an occasional misspelling, yes, even chronic misspelling, which makes them all the more interesting, all the more like a mediaeval chron icle, I have yet to discover a single erasure or correction. These arc the “Minutes of the ! Board of Regents of the State University of Oregon,” dating from April 7 of 1873 and written | in the scrupulous, painstaking, ! i "meticulosity" that was the very 1 embodiment of the first Secretary, : Judge Joshua J. Walton. It is like feeling the pulse or i sounding the heart beat of those ing' the expression of their faces, to read this Book of Joshua. The scribe takes note of their balloting, even when the result is identical, time after time, incorporates ver batim the calls for meetings, with signatures, the exact wording of the executive's resultant proclam ation, and the final summons by the Secretary; copies in toto the bulletins of the President, the class reports of the Faculty, curricula, announcement of courses, and complete catalogs, such as they were. Material that is nowadays con signed to files and obtained by cross-references, is transcribed with absolute faithfulness. The bulk of minutes is therefore in creased enormously beyond the space required by the necessary agenda. Perhaps it is just this completeness which lends to these earlier minutes a sense of intimacy with both Regents and Faculty. This latter we lose as the reports grow too long to incorporate and the catalogue became too volum L inoiis for a long-liand scribe to manage. The hours that long-hand scribe must have spent in copying Judge Deady's lengthy, verbose report to the Legislature; President John son's outline and definition of courses; the Faculty's personal and particular rehearsal of class-room activities; obituary resolutions in full! He spells Xenophon with a Z, half dozen times, but that is a fault of our popular pronunciation and merely a lapsus styli, for the Judge knew better. He used to re peat whole paragraphs of Vergil’s First Eclogue to me. Well,-—the machine age came on, but it left those old minute books a happy reproduction of the University’s cradle-age. Next in the series—THE MIS HAPS OF MUSLEY WELLIGAN. ‘Put on Spot’ Plans are progressing rapidly to put William E. Phipps, Emerald ; editor, and William Burg, vice president of the student body on I trial before the traditions council for violations of traditions. Send the Emerald to your friends.
