College year, except Sundays. Mondays, holidays, examination

March except the* first, eight days. Entered as second-class matter
at the postofficc, Eugene, Oregon. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year.
Which Shall It Be?
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.

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.

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.
