Both Revisions Are Needed

for tin' Inst tirin' Hie proposer! revision
of 1 he ASI'() const it ut ion.
Tomorrow ASI (1 metnhers will voir up
on tlir revised const it lit ion in two parts.
In one section will appear the revision of
the existing (loemuent with substantially
1 lie same provisions now direct in”' t he ASI '< >
government except that the revision makes
possilde the efficient functioning of 1he .stu
dent body under opt iona'I membership in the
ASI <) as well as under a compulsory fee
! basis. The present constitution has been
K siniplit ied. All existing amendments have
La been incorporated into 1lie revised version
appearing logically as portions of the art
icles wllicll t hey effect.
Ill a separate section, entirely divorced
from the revision of Ihc present eonslitn
t ion. voters will find Article X. a new see
tion providing for-rcaclinig changes in stu
dent represent at ion on the executive coun
cil.
The Emerald cannot emphasize too
strongly the necessity for all ANVO mem
bers to read carefully the provisions in
cluded in Article X. Clearly outlined in the
new section are the mechanics which will
insure equitable representation on the exec
utive council by making the election of four
members to the council on a divisional basis
rather than the present, plan of electing
those members from the campus at large.
Obviously this article could not be put
in practical operation on a just basis of
representation as outlined unless member- i
ship in the ASI () were compulsory or at
least !)() per cent of the students were ASl’O
members under optional plan. The open- j
ing provision of Article X contains this
si ipiihit ion.
I lie Emerald finds that both the revised ;
present constitution and the newly designed |
Article X should fulfill definite needs of j
tile associated st udents.
The Emerald urges approval of the re- \
vised constitution as that document will be
made practical and workable under both
optional and compulsory fees without
changing Hie basic machinery of the present
student government.
I lie Emerald advocates approval of !
Article X as it provides, in ease of almost
complete membership in the ASfO. equal ■
representation ol all groups on the execn- 1
live council—a highly desirable situation
vlneli has been woelullv lacking in the past.
\ ote for both the revised constitution
and Article X. Bring ASI () government up
to dale.

ol reward is to give a medal to the brave or

Judiciary Submits Opinions
(editor's note: The following
ore I lie texts of two opinions of
(lie judiciary committee of the
associated stmleuls of the (Hi
veisity of Oregon. The first
deals with the withdrawal of
William Sehloth as a candidate
for tile office of president id' the
ASi O. 1 lie second is concerned
with tile ipiestion of eligibility
of class iiieinhers who are not
ASllO members to vole.
Opinion requested: In it letter
under date of April 22, 1(135, by
Joseph N. Renner. President of
the A.S.IJ.O.
Opinion submitted: April 22, 1935.
Pacts and Issues: "J Mr. William
Sehloth was nominated for the
office of president of the As
sociated Students at the 11:00
A. M. assembly on Thursday,
April 18. Saturday night, April
20, I received a petition asking
that his name be withdrawn,
signed by himself and two wit
nesses. Is there any reason why
his name should not be with
drawn from the ballot?
"2. At the same time Mr
Schloth's vv i t h d r a vv a I was
handed to me, 1 received a pe
tition signed by fifty 150 r mem
bers of the Associated Students
requesting that Mr. Rabbe's
name be placed on the ballot as
a candidate for the position of
President of the Associated Stu
dents, Mr Rabbe's petition was
handed to me at approximately
11:00 o’clock Saturday night., is
this within two days of. the 11:00
A. M. assembly on Thursday'."'
1. in answer to the first question
enumerated above, it is the opinion
of tin Judiciary Committee that
Mr. William Sehloth had the right
to withdraw as a candidate for
the office of 1’iesident of the As
sociated Students, and in view oi
the fact that he notified the 1’resi
dent of the Associated Students
prior to the printing of the ballot,
his name should be omitted from
the ballot.
It is to lie noted that the A.S.
U.O. constitution does not coutam
a provision prohibiting a student
from exercising the right to with
draw as a candidate for a student
office, ft is presumed, therefore,
that it was the intention of the
framers of the constitution to pre
serve for the individual the per
sonal light to determine whethei
or not he wishes to continue as a
candidate for office, if he decide
to withdraw bis candidacy within
a rea.-enable time before the prim
ing of tiie ballots, it would be an
empty gesture and also i mislead
in fact to print his name on the
■'allot beonusi in. < autiicitey
pere 1 -o' - n .
Ute fro ihur. n clei ted he coukl
refuse to assume the duties of the
office.
Obviously, there is good reason
for preserving this personal right
in the absence of specific legisla
tion to the contrary, because of
the general recognition of the fact
that unwilling candidates or of
ficers are likely to be ineffective
and inefficient servants of the gov
ernment. Then too, such factors
as ill health, financial cost, con
flicts of the candidacy with scho
lastic work, loss of interest, loyal
ty to the beat interests of a politi
cal party, are among the multi
tude of inducements which justify
the soundness of tire policy of per
petuating the rule that candidacy
for office is a. matter personal to
the candidate.
The Constitution of the state of
Oregon does not restrict a candi
date in his light to withdraw as a
candidate for office. Section 3(1-501
of tile Oregon Code 15)30 provides
in part that any registered voter
may become a candidate for office
ami may tile such declaration with
tin' secretary of state Section 30
507 provides thHt upon the filing
of such notice the candidacy shall
lie deemed complete and his name
printed on the ballot unless the
candidate shall withdraw. It, is
true that this section prescribes
that the candidate must file hi
withdrawal with the secretary of
state and state his reasons there
for. However, the statute recog
nizes tne right of the candidate to
withdraw and merely restricts that
right to tiie extent of requiring the
candidate to file a statement of Ins
reasons for withdrawing. There be
ing no such provision in the A.o
150. const it ut ion, or tfie rules ot
the Executive Council, il would
seem to follow that a public state
ment issued by u candidate an
nouncing that lie has withdraw Ills
candidacy, is sufficient, and the
Judiciary Committee so rules.
Kurt her, attention is called to
the fact that Mr. Kchloth did more
Limn make a public announcement
of his intention to withdraw; he
served formal notice in waiting on
the ITesidem ot the A.S.U.O , thus
making ileai nd certain Ids with
draws!.
3. In answer to the second ques
tion enumerated above, it is the
opinion of the Judiciary Commi'
tee that Mi Edmund l.alihe was
nominated bv petition within two
days following the meeting of ;!ie
A.S.l’.O. on Thursday. April tstli.
Article 111, Section 3. Clause 2
of the A ■> t’.ii. Constitution tea i
Any pet sou not nominated on
the date .-et for regutai nomina
tion • may be nominated by pc
tiMun of 50 members of the
student body provided the pc
led wit! he 1
of the A. T O. not later than
Kv<> days after the regular nom
inations are made.
Section l of the Amendment
Article i of the Constitution,
adopted Iasi year, provides in part:
There shall be two regular
meetings of the Associated stu
dents each year. The first meel
iug shall be held on the third
Thursday in April, at which
nominations shall be made as
herein provided . . .
When this section is read in con
junction with Article 111, Section
Clause 2 of the Constitution, it
becomes clear that the word
"date" used in the latter clause
refers to the third Thursday in
April, and refers to the entire day
as of that date, which would be
from midnight to midnight. The
fact that the President of the As
sociated Students set the meeting'
for ! i :00 o’clock in the morning
of that dale is immaterial in de
termining the question of whether
or not Mr. Pabbe filed his petition
within two days after the date of
the regular nominations. The con
trolling language of Article 111,
Section i>, Clause 2 of the Consti
tution as to tliis problem is the
word "date" anil the provision
“two days" is intei preted as re
ferring to tile Friday and Saturday
following the third Thursday in
April. This (wo day period would
not end until 12 o'clock midnight
of the second day, Saturday. Mr.
Public filed his petition at 11:00
P. M Saturday and thus implied
with the date requirement.
Thus, on the basis of tlie above
intei pretalions, the .1 u d i c i a r y
Committee concludes that Mr.
Public filed1 bis petition in sufficient
time to become a candidate for the
presidency of Ihe Associated Stu
dents.

Opinion tteipiestcd: In a letter un
der date of April 22. 1(135. by
Joseph N. ivennei president of
the A.S.C O
Opinion Submitted: \pril 22. FP>5
Fuels and Issues: "3 A question
lias arisen as to the eligibility
ol class members to vote who
•live paid then class fee but
time not purchased student body
card.-, laider the change from
compu! o \ to optional ■neiubii
.. 1 o
members to be student body
members before they can avail
themselves of all class privi
leges ?"
The Judiciary Committee inter
prets question 3 enumerated above
as raising two issues: (a) Can stu
dents who have paid class fees but
not A.S.U.O. membership fees vote
in A.S.U.O. elections? (b) Can
students who have paid class fees
but not A.S.U.O. membership fees
vote in class elections ?
As to the first issue, the Judi
ciary Committee rules that a stu
dent who has not paid his A.S.U.O.
membership fee is not entitled to
vote in A.S.U.O. election;;. Article
C, Section 3, Clause 1 of the A.S.
U.O. Constitution reads as follows:
“The payment of the Asso
cited Student dues and or fees
shall entitle a student to vote,
to receive a subscription to the
Oregon Daily Emerald; and to
participate in Associated Stu
dent activities subject t.o the
provisions of this Constitution
and By-Laws.”
Clause 2 of the same section
reads as follows:
"Students rerusing or fail
ing to pay dues and or fees
shall not be eligible to enejoy
any of I he benefits of mem
bership in this Association.”
It is self-evident that these two
clause:; make the payment of A.S.
U.O. membership fees a condition
precedent to obtaining the right to
participate in the benefits and
privileges provided by the associa
tion.
2. The answer to issue 2 is gov
erned by a decision handed down
by the Judiciary Committee under
date of April 6, 1984. One of the
isues raised in that case was as
follows:
"Can a student who has paid
the class tax and not the mem
bership fee of the Associated
Students participate in class
activities as provided under
Article 7, Section 9 of the Con-'
stitution of the Associated Stu
dents ?”
In answer to it the committee
ruled:
"There are two separate and
distinct meanings of the word
“class.” First, there is the
University designation with
certain requirements as to
number of hours, grades, etc.;
the second meaning, to which
the questions presented obvi
ously refers, is that as defined
and regulated by Article 7 of
the A.S.U.O. Constitution . . .

Prove Success
By Cynthia Liljeq vist
Dramatically correct, Match of
Time, succinctly occupies twenty
minutes of the Mac’s fare in
counter-propagandizing munition
makers; blasting Huey’s dema
goguery against a sober backdrop
of Roosevelt, doctrine; ferreting
out a. subterranean sacristy of
Catholic priests under the up
turned sod of Mexican religious
revolution; photographically pro
posing the trans-Pacific airway
with "Steichen” cloud effects.
There is no need to tack obvious
superlatives on Time's experiment.
In short, (with Macawber brev
ity ), let us add that it possesses
the tone of Florentine leather, the
flavour of old wine; the appeal of
a beautiful woman. Like this oft
repeated figure of speech, the
March of Time is classic.
Also four stars go to the colored
cartoon. It is our earnest opinion
that “Dirty Bill” will win the Mo
tion Picture Academy award for
perfectly conceived villiany, and
“Butch,” honorable mention for
romantic bravado. One seldom sees
their equal on the silver screen.
To go moralistic, which is al
ways a safe detour1 for would-be
critics, we wish Joan Crawford,
Janet Gaynor, Robert Young,
Anna Sten, George Raft, politic
ians, two beer drunks, pseudo
sophisticates, sales girls et al,
would take technique of acting
from Walt Disney.

Again I See in Fancy
— - --Ttv Frederic S. Dunn -:
The First Junior Queen
Never Reigned
It was inxJhys of old, -oh! after i
all. it was~only 1913,—and knights
were almost as bold as now,—
which constrains me to wish that
James Mott, our versatile, inde
fatigable. redoubtable Congress
man from the First District, were
here to recount this tale more mi
nutely. Remembering what a tri
umphant manager he had been for
his candidate in the campaign for
Queen in 1913, I knew, when he
declared himself in the congres- j
sional race, there could be no oth- |
er result than an inevitable seat
in the House.
Things were shifting rapidly in
1913. An aggressive Junior Class
which next year' saw the beginning
ol the World War, was sponsoring
quite a revision in the program of
Junior Week End, or, as it had
been called for a number of years,
University Day. Since 1906, events
had largely centered around con
structive pieces of work, such as
the laying of concrete walks or
the building of bleachers. But
either projects of the sort had
dwindled to vanishing, or had be
come too onerous, or the Univer
sity Administration had now as
sumed all such enterprises.
So, the Class of 1914 found itself
more or less free to exchange tasks
for sports, and at once inaugurat
ed the system out of which Junior
Week End has evolved so spec
tacularly. Dean Straub emerged
as annual proclaimant of a "square
mix" between the Freshmen and
Sophomores. The Junior Prom be
came a momentous formality, with
more and more dollars and ever so
much labor expended upon decora
tions and appurtenances.
And the Canoe Fete and its Car
nival Queen were new for the first
time heralded and promoted. The
Tri Del'ts were, that year, estab
lished in "The House of Ten Ga
bies,” next door to us, who were
living on the corner of 1-lth and
and propaganda in behalf of one
Alder. So we could not fail to
witness much of the electioneering
Tri Delt who wras a candidate,
Ruth Gibson. Perhaps it might
have escaped our notice, had it
not been for the “everywhereness”
and “all timeness" of Jim Mott,
Ruth’s managerial promoter. Jim
saw to it that Ruth was elected.
But Oregon’s mecurial barome
ter (I guess it has mecury) fell
and fell. and commensurately tell
all of Warwick’s regnatorial am
bitions. A postponement on ac
count of the down pour proved
disastrous to any subsequent re
sumption of festivities. Ruth I,
primate of our royal line, was fat
ed not to be crowned Queen of
Junior Week End.
