Bar Appointments;
Dean’s Report Asks
Legal Education Reform
By SIC.NE RASMUSSEN
Wayne L. Morse, dean of the law
school, and Professor Orlando J.
Hollis have just received notifica
tion of their appointment for the
year 1935-36 on committees of the
Oregon State Bar association.
Dean Morse was appointed a mem
ber of the committee on legal ed
ucation and admission to the bar;
and Professor Hollis to member
ship on the public relations com
mittee.
Dean Morse's appointment came j
following extensive consideration
being given his views on legal ed
ucation bv the bar association. A
report of his says that the law
schools of the states should be re
sponsible to the board of gover
nors, and that the bar itself
"should be the controlling factor
in determining law school policies
in any state.”
Dean Morse Quoted
Dean Morse is quoted at length
in the annual report of the com
mittee on legal education and ad
mission to the bar and states:
"I recognize that such a change
cannot come over night, but I hope
. . . in the course of a few years
the board of governors of the Ore
gon state Bar association, with
the board of bar examiners serving
as a sub-committee will be respon
sible in the main for the standards
and policies of legal education in
the state . . . The American Medi
cal association is a real force in
determining the policies of medical
schools, and until the legal pro
fession does something similar, I
am satisfied that little improve
ment can be expected from boards
of thigher education, trustees, and
other governing bodies of institu
tions of higher learning in which
aw schools are located.”

fident the arbitration board would
be able to settle the controversy
without a strike.

Junior Finance Office
Nominees; New ASUO
Council Post Possible
By LLOYD TUPLING
Following a busy homecoming
weekend, interest in the election
of junior finance officer and voting
on the question of independent ex
ecutive position has lain dormant.
Political big guns are expected
to lay a heavy barrage before the
polls open Friday, November 15, in
the “Y” hut.
Nash, Paulson, nominees.
Frank Nash and Kermit Paul
son, nominated last Friday, are the
only aspirants for the junior fi
nance job. This office is the only
two year position in the executive
council; the junior finance officer
being promoted to senior office at
the end of the school year.
Interest toward the creation of
an independent position on the ex
ecutive council was started several
years ago but not until last spring
did it carry enough momentum to
warrant organization. Early this
fall a petition was released among
independents and was soon signed
by the quota of associated student
members.
Amendment Called tor
The petition calls for the amend
ment of two ASUO constitution
sections; that Article 3 be amend
ed as follows. “That an elective of
fice known as the independent ex
ecutive position shall be created.
This officer shall be in attendance
at least four terms in the Univer
sity; he shall not be a member,
pledge, or associate member of any
living organization during his term
of office. The first shall be ap
pointed by the executive council
and thereafter to be elected at the
regular election.”
Article 5 Included
And that Article 5 be amended
as follows: “The Independent Ex
ecutive officer shall be a member
of the executive council, and will
carry out duties delegated to him
by that body.”
Both these amendments and the
nominees for junior finance officer
will be on the ballot next Friday.
An election board will be an
nounced by James Blais, student
body president, on Wednesday.
