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.

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).

let artists Monday afternoon along'
with Press-agent Zollie Volchok,
Camera-man Bill Pease (who
swears the camera was loaded)
two uninvited guests and the wel
coming committee, were eight
members of one of the local labor
unions leaning against a mail-box
in a sinister group.
"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.

best blase tones,
“Quite pretty, re-lly. Quite

A Function Class Government
{JTNC1R Sophomore Treasurer Dick ITutohi
son raised flic question of “where did the
money go?”, the need for strengthened class
governments lias been made evident. 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.
