Athletic Board Meets in Private 'j^IIE other day at a joint meeting of the athletic and educational activities hoards the first-mentioned organization held a short meeting at which it decided that the Univer sity of Oregon track team should not par ticipate in 1he Northwest division meet at Pullman on May It?. The reason given was that “a dual meet had been scheduled with Oregon State college on the Eugene campus oji this date, it being the only athletic event scheduled for .Junior Weekend.” (Quoting from the minutes of the joint meeting, held . April 3.) This news, in the ordinary rim of events, would probably not be released until some time in May, if at all. The meetings of the athletic board have not been reported 1o the student body with the exception of llie time when the football coach selection was being made in 1938. It is Imp that tlirpp students, 1 ho presi dent, firsl vice-president, and seeretary of the ASUO, are members of' tin* Imard. Yet il is too much to expect that by bavins1 three sludents aid in transacting the business of the athletic board of the ASIM), 11n* board has made adequate provision to let the entire student body know and understand what is doiii}?. The above mentioned incident is not brought 11p as a criticism of the decision of 1 he board; but il is utilized to show how decisions of interest and importance to stu dents are made by this board with no pro vision to inform the students. # # * rJ"'AKK a look at the situation on the educa tional activities board. The editor of the Emerald, serving as a non-voting member, acts as official reporter of the ASl'O, bring ing to the general student body the decisions and acts of this branch of the student pro gram. If the members of the edueationaI activ ities board have found this system unsatis factory, they have not so indicated. If it is correct and valuable to have a representative of the students’ press in at tendance at these meetings, it should be even more important to have one at the sessions of tin* athletic board. For this organization is responsible for the disbursement of lit) per cent of the student fees, while the educational activities group spends only 40 per cent. The ASl'O is a student program. Il is paid for by students. They have a voice1 in the mak ing of it. They must be satisfied with il or it will not function properly. The divided system now in use should not accord any special privileges tj'o one side. There are no mysterious proceedings going on at- athletic board meetings which need to be bill from students. What is happening at these meetings, however, affects (it) cents out of every dollar students pay into their ASl'O memberships. A representative from their press should be on tin1 committee, and should report the decisions, the policies and the programs. Then there can be a greater understanding of the athletic program. “The universities of this country are now in a critical period. In Europe, to a considerable extent, the professors play up entirely to popular senti ment. Slowly but surely this dominion of mass psychology, with its foibles and hysteria, is gain ing a foothold in American universities.” Harvard university's Prof. Carle C. Zimmerman strongly condemns faculty members who constantly “play to the galleries.”- ACT. “Scientists and educators have a moral obliga tion to the American people and to the world. Today as never before their influence must be exerted in a positive program for democracy and intellectual freedom.” Columbia university's Prof. Franz Boas urges faculty support of the new American Committee for Democracy and Intel lectual Freedom. ACP. The Daughters of the American Revolution have given a $110 loan fund to University of Akron students who are “100 per cent Americans.” The student who paraded at the strike against war here a couple of years ago with a banner saying “I'm 200 per cent American, I hate everybody," should see the DAK. Maybe he could arrange a $220 loan fund for Oregon students. Harvard university technicians have developed a diesel engine that runs on melted butter. Now the Germans will probably develop an "ersatz" (substitutei butter which will run the engine. Pennies From Heaven?

Rut 1 he nascent “movement” to pot a oaso for I lie armfuls of trophies ■which they won has also appeared to have become an ordinary movement. That is not as it should he. At the present time, the Order of the O club is investigating the possibilities of yet - tiny a display case. The Imttermen "s oryani/.a lion, briny public, spirited but not wealthy, is findiny it difficult to yet a workable plan underway. The athletic department of the ASI’O says that somethin" should lie done, but an nounces that it has not the wherewithal to act. The educational activities department agrees that the cause is worthy but agrees with the athletic branch in that it too has no money. The executive committee of the ASUO is sure 1 hitt somethin" should be done, but appar ently it hasn't any money either. *• « # people yo around telliny each other what a yood idea a display ease would be, and how much money they don’t have, the winning of the basketball national cham pionship recedes farther and farther into the past. People will soon be speaking of the great, days in 19119 in a reminiscent way. Before we realize it, somebody will be asking what hap pened to I he trophies. At 1ln> present rate of progress it looks as though the Emerald will have to make a minor search in five or ten years, find that the cups have been stored in the basement of the men’s gym or the lower of Ready, or that somebody has carried them off in the interval. This is no! necessary. II' nothin"' more could he done ;i display case could he built for considerably less than $50. The AN(T() could consider a debt of .+50 for Ibis purpose more au, asset than a liability. What is everybody waiting for? Pennies from heaven?

Kessler Analyzes Accomodations For US Tourists P.y HOWARD KESSLER A drive of 400 miles from dawn until nightfall gives one a keen interest in the housing conditions encountered in the city or town chosen for an overnight stop. Whether the beds be lumpy, or hard, or soft, or decrepit; whether the rooms be dank, or dark, or spacious; whether the lights be soft, or dim, or plentiful, or well-placed; all these factors may make or break the pleasures of an extended trip for the weary individuals who stum ble into the haven which God has provided and hope that God has taken care of the luggage too. In visiting 24 of those United States the past three months, we found that, on the whole, tourist accomodations are adequate for those who desire to pay no more than a dollar a person. Generally speaking, we were disappointed with Pacific coast tourist cottages, and pleased with those in the southwest. The finest cabins we found from Eugene to Daytona Beach, Florida, were, oddly enough, in the North Dakota town of Hettinger, a wind swept refuge for gophers and grasshoppers. There, the four of us obtained two tastefully-decorated cottages with new furniture, garages, and radiant heaters, for $3. Plug Lady Eleanor The most unusual cabins we saw during the entire trip were in Cave City, Kentucky, near the Mammoth Caves. They were tepees of concrete and steel, ranged in a semi-circle about a huge central wigwam lunch counter. Eleanor Roosevelt has mentioned these novel but comfortable over night home in “My Day”; the creator of Chief Wahoo has drawn a cartoon for the owner; and the teepee cabins are patented to prevent any of like design being constructed elsewhere. Until recently each wigwam had a large swastika paint ed over the entrance. Public protest has removed that ancient Indian sign. The best bargain we received in a tourist cabin was in Monterrey, Mexico, where, thanks to a very favorable rate of exchange, we luxuriated in a royal palace of tile and stucco for $3, at the Regina Courts, and plucked bananas off a tree in the back yard. Down by the Beach If you happen down Florida way, and have a penchant for watching ships that pass in the night, there is no finer resort for you than Daytona Beach. Ranged along the superb highway of sand for a distance of a mile just south of Daytona, are eight colonies of tourist cabins, the poorest of which are better than the best in practically any other city you care to mention. Our difficulty was in selecting one cottage with an ocean front age out of the five or six that met all of our usual requirements. One longed for the all-electric kit chen of a home that was a bit too small for another, who preferred the modernistically-fur nished cottage with the bunks; and a third longed for the bedroom in which she could awaken every morning and watch the waves break along the beach; while I was partial to the shuffle-board and the croquet field that accompanied still another touirst apartment. After driving up and down that mile for an hour arguing heatedly, we compromised by taking a cabin on the other side of the road. To My Enemy By BILL JOHNSTON I will kill your comrade, j Then you will kill me. It is fair, though I would like to live. I would like to see you, yet I hope I won’t. It would be better a flash, and then nothing. j Than a bayonet cutting me and pushing, pushing—. ] I hate knives. But I wonder What you work for and think about. Do you listen to the birds in your country ? I. would like to see your birds. But there won’t be any, will there? There will be mud, I suppose, and fire, But no birds. The flowers will be gone, too, trampled in with the blood, And we won’t have time to watch the sunset, will we? For you, there will be just me and a little time, And for me, just you. The books say your master is a mad speeehmaker. T will learn to hate your master. But my master is a net of corporations and people, And it is hard to hate a corporation, So you must hate me. But if I knew your language and could talk to i you, And maybe drink some of your beer and look at your garden— But there is one thing— We won’t be here, will we, to watch them “crush the enemy” When it is over? So oui friend’s children will have to die too. I wonder what they will make it safe for this time. •—Idaho Argonaut from which we could not see the ocean at all, and so conclusively proved the merits of Professor John Casteel’s course in problems of group dis- I mission. Other Florida resorts do not measure up to i the standards set by Daytona Beach, which won our votes for the best in the state. St. Augustine is quaint, and old, and Spanish, but the housing is also quaint and old. Tampa is a manufacturing city with no good ocean beach Rents in Miami are exhorbitant, considering the paucity of good rooms. West Palm Beach runs Daytona a close second in our estimation, but there is a lack of good tourist accomodations in the right places. All the desirable beach is owned by the brass hats whose mansions hide behind ten-fcot shrubbery along the coastal highway. Tasting Southern Hospitality “Tourist rooms,” rooms let out overnight in residences, offer a welcome variety to the travel ler who like to meet socially a few of the people he speeds past in the daytime. In Manchester, Tennessee, we canvassed two hotels, three tourist camps, and four tourist homes, and ended up by choosing a tourist home. It cost no more, and we had superior accomodatoins. After dinner the soft spoken Southern lady who confessed to a more prosperous past, showed us oil paintings of her ancestors, one of whom looked down upon us as we lay in the feather bed. The genial host lured us into a game of Chinese checkers, which he invariably won. Two other guests engaged us in conversatoin about the things to be seen in these United States. And a pleasant time etc. That pleasant experience was repeated several ; times in the deep south, which, of all the sections | in the country, offers the best returns for time spent with the folks who live there. Looking Back_ WITH JIMMIE LEONARD One year ago Gordon Con nelly, senior in journalism, won senior status after his fifth peti tion gave him the long-awaited exemption from military train ing. Virginia Regan, Chi Omega sophomore in social science, was “The Girl of the Week.” The column was written by Cather ine Taylor. Alpha Delta Pi pledges enter tained with an informal radio dance. An Emerald quip defined: “OLD MAID—A 'yes’ girl who never had a chance to.” Two years ago—Milton Pil lette, journalism senior, won the $20 first prize in the W. F. Jewett poetry reading contest. The Oregon tennis squad de feated ONS, 7 to 0. Three years ago — Oregon Normal's baseballers lost to Oregon, G to 1, as Don McFad den, Webfoot, pitched three-hit ball. Mary Jane Mahoney, Kappa Kappa Gamma, was uninjured in a collision. The car she was driving was struck by another auto that failed to stop follow ing the accident. Five years ago—The OSC and Oregon polyphonic choirs gave a joint concert at the music audi torium. Barney Clark, the "Innocent Bystander” was shocked when he learned that some Oregon girls smoked cigars; but when he heard of a girl from Chi Omega who smoked a pipe, he was pained. Six years ago—Yosuke Mat suoka, noted Japanese states man, and a graduate of the U. of O. law school, spoke on the campus. He was the statesman who announced Japan’s with drawal from the League of Na tions. He pleaded with students and townspeople to trust the actions of Japan. There were a lot of weddings on the campus. Ten years ago — Eight ath letes from Medford high school announced their intentions to follow Prink Callison to Oregon. Callison, before becoming frosh football coach, coached at Med ford.

Oregon Meteorite (Contmued from rage one) they were able to finish their job. On the table beside them lay 18 badly crippled hacksaw blades. The pieces were sent to Dr. Niniger of Denver who etched and polished them. The University’s piece is now on exhibit in the mu seum of natural history. The return of a piece of the Sam's valley meteorite to Oregon means that two of Oregon's three meteorites are represented in the state. Last June Dr. Fisher sent a piece of the famous Willamette valley meteorite to the University. Now the other meteorite, the lost Port Orford meteorite, yet remains to be found.
