From where I SIT Ey CLARE IGOE We are told that a bit of very neat work was put in by Poli tico Jack Enders the other night during the presentation of the Shan-Kar ballet, when he busied himself, and with some results, to become acquainted with the exotic Zohra. It seems that Jack and Bur ton Barr gave a dinner for some of the members of the troupe at the Anchorage before the per formance, during which Zohra decided Jack was pretty cute, and, we presume, vice versa. During the performance itself Jack stationed himself back stage and during intervals when Zohra was not dancing or dress ing for the next number, she was talking to Jack. Ho told Zohra he was planning to take a trip to India next summer (which he may be, for all we know) and finally obtained the beauteous Zohra’s address there. Now it seems also that one, Dick Williams was also inter ested in the lady, and lie, too, wanted to know her address. But apparently he met with less success timn Jack, for it was only after some difficulty he got It, and we fear there was some rancor in his heart. Now we suppose the address of a beautiful Hindu maid Is a fine thing to have, but after all, India’s a long, long way off. * * * we like nights like tonight for tonight is spring and in spring a young man’s fancy (and a young woman’s too, we'll wager) turns to thoughts of romance and when people’s thoughts turn to romance we have something to write a column about and when we nave something to write a column about the editor doesn’t bark at us and when the editor doesn’t bark at us things are much more peaceful, tonight is beautiful. 1 Pink’s Lemon-Aid By JOHN PTNK Although I retired, and definitely, from the public newsprint some weeks ago to devote my somewhat obscure talents to even obscurer pursuits, I now find it necessary to don again the columnar garments in order to right a wrong. Being of rather leftist tenden cies, doing anything right is a task. After reading the biased account on the edit page of the sports staff-news staff basketball game of Saturday last, in which the accusation was made that the sports staff (of which I was once an active) deliberately omitted any mention of the game from the paper because of the enormity of the defeat that they suffered, I decided to tell the whole unvarnished, unsimonized story,, and with out a glimmer of partisanship. The sports staff, kindly, gentle, trusting souls that they are, let the news staff keep score. And therein lies the story. After cavalry charging up and down the floor for twenty minutes, during which time tlie hull swished in and out of the basket so many times that the net had to he replaced four times. The sports staffers then asked how the score stood. “The score,” asked a news stall scorokeopcr, furrowing a beetle-spiderish brow, “huh.” The whole crew of them had been making up Monday s paper, and playing tit-tat-toe in the margins. They were then instructed on how to keep score and the game resumed. Another twenty mintues of inspired scoring on the part of the sports staff. They wore out the iron hoop this time, and you could see light through the backboard where so many balls had caromed into the basket. The game was overm,The news staff hadn’t once touched the ball. The sports staff (enmasse) went over to the scor ing bench. The news staff scorers were deep in study. “The score?” they repeated like a group of Huxley’s gamma minuses, “oh, 48 to 31 for the news staff.” And how did you arrive at that figure they were asked in a polite hut steely tone. “Prayer-shot Mattingly told us to say that before the game even started,” they croaked in gleeful unity. So the sports staff could still be pouring them through the hoop at the Igloo. But the score would still be 48 to 31. You see, the news staffers have only one-track minds. While I am writing I thing I will clear up another issue that has been clouding the untoward serenity of my sleepless nights. It concerns the little incident in Modern Europe class last week. A remark of mine was elaborated at length and with more detail than it deserved in one of the columns of this paper (namely, Miss Igoe’s, but I never call names). I'm sorry the thing ever got out of the classroom. I never grind my heel in a man’s face, when I have him down (although it is only one down with three weeks to go).

"Either you tear down the stage you fellows built at McArthur court and let our men build one,” announced the leader to the har rassed Zollie, "or we don't let the dancers unload their trappings." This at 4 o'clock with the show going on at 8:30, and they looked like they meant it. After a few hectic moments in which everyone stood around looking for trouble, General Zollie stepped forward, took the situation in hand, went into a huddle with the union men and three minutes later they were all shaking hands and swapping stories. * * * “Wasn’t it just too-o-o, well— ti'o-o-o |H*rfecl?” gushed a very out lady wlio smelled dusty with strong Imtli-powder to her com paulen who was doing a very ef ficient job of pushing sue down stairs as we left the court.

The con troversy resulting has revealed a lack of offi cial responsibility. George Root and the educational activities division of the ASUO of which he is the man ager can account for all the sophomore funds. Every dollar—including the 1 he class is now in debt—has been spent legitimately. Classes may protest that the ASUO shouldn’t let them spend their money so promiscuously—but the spending of the money really isn't an ASUO affair. The associated students handle the money just as would a bank. Manager Root attempts to guide expenditures as much as possible, but has no right to tell the class to spend or not to spend for any purpose. The sophomores are overdrawn. # * # ^^”0 one of the classes, apparently, lias kept its own books as a check on the ASUO although all have duly elected treasurers. Some such check seems absolutely necessary, not only because of the responsibility the office of treasurer should involve but also because the weakest point in the ASUO ac counting system is that it is slow—anyone ■who has had any experience with it will vouch that it’s good policy to get your Christmas requisitions in early—about the Fourth of July. Handling the business of both educa tional and athletic activities, Bookkeeper Ed Walker is swamped with routine work and it is difficult to obtain at a moment’s notice an exact statement of tin1 financial posi tion of any one of the many ASUO accounts. No class is run on the basis of term-to-term or year-around budgeting. No efforts have been made to see that expenses remain within the estimated income, and apparently even dance budgets have not been presented to the class treasurer for his consideration. * * « ^LASSUS would have nothing to gain by taking their funds out of the ASUO’s hands. Under, the present system, the ex penses and the income of each class is itemized in available books and there is little aba nee of misappropriation of funds by any officer. Tbaro is, of aonrsa, always the chance that the money will be spent not wisely. The ASVO does tlm banking but that’s no reason why the alass officers shouldn’t keep the accounts. The $25 fee is for handling the money—not for budgeting it and determin ing how it should be spent. Class treasurers have been neglected. They have not functioned to the extent which class constitutions permit them 1o function. Their failure is in part the result of neglect, on the part of class presidents; it is partly their own. Hutchison's protest should bring about an investigation of the activities of class officers. There can be no legitimate charges against the ASUO—except that of slowness in preparing statements. But something is very much wrong with class organizations. * * *■ ■JJNFORTUNATELY, it’s almost spring term. Class big shots have both eyes on next year. They want “big” reforms—pub licity movements, activities which will bring them into the eyes of the student voters— and are not particularly concerned with class affairs. The biggest recommendation any candi date for higher office can have is the record he’s made in his present position. The class officer who can take his organization, investi gate it, see that his treasury is in order and that his activities are on a sound, budgeted, financial basis has a lot to recommend him if he is politically ambitious. But he hasn’t got much claim 1o promotion if he can’t hold down the job he has now. More and more it becomes apparent that class jobs have been pretty sloppily filled. Perhaps this condition is the result of electing politicians instead of presidents who can preside; and of having vote-swingers for treasurers instead of men who can add. Hutchison has a very legitimate “beef.” Aimed in the right direction, the reform whiph he has indicated as necessary may bring needed readjustment, of class responsibility. x, Fun Round-Up Mayflower: “Love Under Fire.’’ McDonald: “That Certain Wo man" and “Eack in Circula tion.” Heilig: “.She’s Got Every thing.” Rex: Same as McDonald.
