Extension of tin? enrollment period from one- and one-half to two- and one-half days brought a low total of only 800 students com pleting registration Thursday, but about 70 per cent of that number, COO students, became members of the associated students. When the dust cleared in McArthur court last year and the annual drive had been com pleted, 69 per cent of the students boasted ASTTO cards. This year’s total is even more encouraging since all of the memberships sold were more or less ‘‘voluntarily purchased because there has been no oiiieial drive by individuals or in houses. Last year about 190 students bought tfln all-year cards. Yesterday 290 joined the association for the entire year by this method. That makes, if this figure can be maintained in the remaining day-and-a-half, nearly one fourth of the students members for spring term—nearly half as many as there were at the end of last spring’s session. A 7f> per cent student body would be an increase of around l.r> per cent over the num ber of student members on the campus for the average term of last year. ‘ODAY’S encouraging sales can probably be attributed to several factors. No mat ter what 1 he reason or reasons, however, it is tremendously significant because it shows that a good majority of the people on the campus are members of and are solidly be hind the student program. A poorly support ed program not only fails in its essential purpose of interesting and educating students but soon finds the very existence of its activi ties threatened because of funds shortage. In the years since optional fees went into effect, there has been a steady decrease in the percentages of the student body belonging to the ASEO. This year’s increase is the first, comparing fall term with fall term, since the new system was installed. qPl IE associated students and its two boards. A educational activities arid athletic activi ties, have learned lessons in showmanship and in salesmanship from optional fees. There has undoubtedly been a great deal of good derived from the new system, as can easily be seen by the almost incomparable improvement in the programs and activities. These improvements brought a fair return yesterday when such a high percentage of students enrolling'lay down the money for their student body cards. The fine program presented last year worked i4s effect on the confidence of the students. Because they received a square deal in every case last year, in spite of difficulties raised by weather, time, and expense, those who took part in activities and who saw the games and concerts confidently accepted this year’s billing at its face value. And this series is undoubtedly tin* finest of them all. ORE leasurely enrollment, better times ■LTA financially, wiser efforts to push sales, and many other things played a part in the increase. Without a doubt, however, the major factor was the splendid program offer ed for 1937-38, for it is an offering almost phenomenal in its values. Under optional membership the AMUO can probably never go above 90 per cent. Too many students work, take only a few hours, or have little interest other than academic in the University. It is entirely possible with the type of program being offered and strenu ous efforts are being made to place it before reluctant card purchasers that a 100 per cent group of student?! really engaged in Univer sity life could he attained. The ASUO program can be only as good as the support it receives. In tin1 past few years it has been struggling for survival. Now it can commence to build. Oregon Fattens the Proverbial Calf 'IIREE years ago a slender, blonde girl, "*■ Frances Brockman, completed her studies in music at the University of Oregon. Under the tutelage of Rex Underwood of the Univer sity music school Frances presented violin concerts here, and was featured several times with the University symphony orchestra. And the faculty of the music school, and her friends on the campus and in Eugene agreed, that in this young girl’s playing there was more than a touch of genius. After her course here was finished, Fran cos, with prospects of a brilliant future before her, went east to study. The promises of outstanding talent that she had displayed at Oregon became even more apparent as she continued with her studies under well-known teachers. P<)R the past few seasons she has been study ing in Boston, and was presented in eon (‘crt with the Boston philharmonic orchestra—; a triumpli for a girl violinist as young aS Francos. This winter Frances, one of Oregon’s most noteworthy students, will return to the cam pus, to thrill Fugene audiences again as fea tured soloist of the University symphony or chestra on December 5. Iler playing—always brilliant—will be tempered by her further studies, and by her concert experiences before eastern audiences, so that Fugene, which knew tin1 promise of her future, will have an opportunity to judge how that promise has been fulfilled. Oregon will be proud to welcome Frances back. She has made an impressive niche for herself in the musical world, with promise of an even more* impressive out1 to come—an Oregon “local girl who made good." CARBURETOR U.
