The mem bers of the staff feel as though they had lost a friend and faithful co-worker—for .Joe Soap III is gone. Joe was never actually one individual. True, his “ghost writer” was one member of the staff, but the ideas and ideals back of him were contributed by several. In his short span of existence1 h» almost grew to have a personality, lie had a far greater following than any other member of the* staff, yet none envied him. lie was beginning to lap bountiful sources of information. The possibility of his column becoming a constructive force in the field of student government was imminent. Today Joe Soap is gone. Yet the motivating factors which were behind him remain. The hopes to cut inefficiency in student government to a minimum, to reveal the machinations of bloc politics; and to aid in creating a student govern ment at Oregon backed by an active and interested student body cannot be destroyed. * # # # rJ~'III‘i scoffers may dispose of these hopes as Utopian; the lazy may say that polities are a dead issue. All, of course, agree that any improvement of the present situation would be excellent. To the scoffers we say: “Tin* higher the goal, the greater the achievement.” To the lazy we say that polities will never he a dead issue on this campus or in this nation as long as a shred of democracy remains. When fascism comes with firing squads and concentration camps politics is a “dead” issue not until then. To those who agree that improvement would be valuable (yet refrain from acting) we say: “You will never build a better house by using the same rotten material and faulty tools.” ■» . * * «■ "yi^TIEBE is the primrose path of bloc polities leading stu dent government at Oregon? Here are a few notes from the record. An ASUO election was held last year with a third of the possible voters (one-quarter of the actual stu dent body) participating. At the same time officers of two classes were selected by inner circles, with only one set of candidates and not even the formality of a contest between two individuals existing. Last year a class constitution was misplaced. The finances of another class were brought up to serious charges. An AKIM) rally reform was passed, pigeon holed, and forgotten by this year's executive' committee which entered its office with no records of the preceding group's activities. These are the examples of student “gov ernment" which came to the attention of the campus. There are many others in the memories of several individuals. NDKRNEATIl all of this is the indefensible bloc system. It is characterized by a group of ten or fifteen men sitting up late at night each one using his bloc of twenty or thirty votes as a bargaining agent. It is characterized by quiet eorner-of-tlie-mouth remarks that “. . . if you could see fit to withdraw in favor of .... we ll give you Home coming chairmanship.’’ It is characterized by the well planned double-cross, the last-minute coupe, and the allot ing of offices to this or that organization for this year and next year and next. It is disgusting and a student body with great possibilities of useful self-government realizes this. Potential leaders are loath to go ahead by the means offered. Those that do get into office with hopes of accomplishment have to face a dis interested student body that turns out only L’OO strong to A IS l () assemblies. Sometimes they don't know why. ^LfE’RE telling them why. They can organize their blocs from now till doomsday, they can make student govern ment the private property of a group of individuals who stay up late and get low (> I’A s, and (hey can even go so far as to choose officers without elections by the one nomination met hod, but they aren't elect ing st udent body or class leaders. The best they are doing is selecting the head of a political organization and many times they know that they aren’t even doing that. Joe Soap may be gone, but bloc polities are also going to have to go. And responsible student leaders, if they wish to lay honest claim to this designation, are going to have to do it. ►NOTICE: jj TREAT YOUR ► APPEARANCE ► TO SCHLICK S ► SPRING CLEANING SCHLICK’S E BARBER SHOP E.

Will there never be any opportunity for us graduates to participate in campus activities, to really feel that we, too, are a part of this organization known as the University of Oregon? If we are to overcome this feeling of not being included in the school activities or faculty affairs we must form some sort of organization for ourselves in which we can attain the things which we now lack. There seem to be no definite reasons for not attempting such Looking Back.... WITH JIMMIE LEONARD One year ago—Business ad ministration students issued their annual challenge to the law school for a softball game between the two groups. Soft ball, the BA athletes said, was a good conditioner for ditch-dig ging. The challengers also said that a pitiful $15 a week was better than sitting in a chair for 10 years waiting for a cli ent. Elisabeth Stetson was elected to the AWS presidency. Ruth Ketchum was named YWCA prexy. In naming the things she said she liked about the University, a coed included a Phi Beta Kap pa gent’s definition of a kiss: "a kiss is the coordinating jux taposition of two orbicular mus cles in the state of contrac tion." ("I bet he's never had one,” she said). Five years ago — Oregon’s basketballers dumped OSC, 33 to 25, to cinch second place in the conference standings. The last Emerald of the win ter term was published. “Maybe you can get close to the soil in Corvallis," said Cyn thia Liljeqvist, “but we’ve got a different kind of dirt over here.” Anna Sten was playing in “Nana” at the Colonial theater, and Greta Garbo’s "Queen Christina,” was at the McDon ald. Ten years ago—According to a freshman girl, final examina tions should have been abol ished long ago. “Women are but children of a larger growth,” said a well known University professor. “No man with any sense takes a woman for granted. Frankly, the thing I admire most in wo men is greateness of nature. Prettiness doesn't last. “The belles here are exterior decorators,” the nervous profes sor continued. "Those with a timid, confiding manner, who look as though they need pro tection, are dangerous. A man who makes women his special subject knows less about them than anyone else.” RADER ’] Beauty Salon j Hilling Kooler Wave I Eugene Motel Bldg. Telephone 2890. ! TYPIST WANTED!

EMERALD CLASSIFIED Only 2c a word Local 354 a project: in fact it appears that there is much enthusiasm among the graduates. But who will take the first step? Or will it he taken? If we grads don’t take the initial step, certainly no one else will. In many colleges the annual graduate ball ranks along with the senior ball and the Mortar Board formal. The main objec tive in organizing this group would be for social purposes such as this. There are over 250 of us graduates who are prospective members in this “longed for” but never “sought after” organ ization. - A Graduate. 'Crooked Trails' Is Topic of Talk Slated By Warren D.
