Rut the fact 1 hat on May .1 the athletic board will meet and take up the matter of a trophy ease for the ASI () is a bit startling, and furthermore, of ffreaf importance and interest 1o the general student body. 01 course, we are in no position to guar antee that the atlilelie hoard will take up Ihe matter of ;i home for Oregon's time scarred, battle-worn and dust-laden trophies. II past performances were taken as any in dicator ol what was to come, il might appear wise 1 o he dubious; for the record shows that almost a month has passed since the cham pionship basketball trophies arrived on the campus with action restricted to a very meager hit of tentative planning. However, we, and the student body with us, are generally patient. .Sometimes the stu dent body is too patient ; oftentimes it is just; plain forgetful. As a result of this the ques tion of a trophy ease has gone unsettled these long years. It has taken a healthy prod like the winning of a national basketball cham pionship to get action. The first steps have been taken. The stu dent executive committee, head of the ASI'O set-up, have recommended that the athletic board take action. The members of the athletic board have looked at the cups. They have looked at the proposed sight of the trophy ease. It has taken better than a month to gel 1 his action. Perhaps we can be patient for another week, especially if we feel confident that the athletic board is all set to get the matter settled. (Rven if patience has never been included among the virtues of editors.) A special relay race for portly fraternity men , has been scheduled for the University of Vermont ■ interfraternity track meet. Brown university will award King George VI of England an honorary degree when he visits the t United States this summer. , What Other Editors Believe STATE BOA ItR OF HIGHER EDUCATION “.State Board’s come to our house, of my lawsy daisy. All the chilern round the campus is just, a runnin’ crazy. Fetched a cake for little .lake And fetched a pie fer Nannie , Fetched a pear for all the pack -well, it’s a j fine system! James Whitcomb Riley fof course) If we are too light hearted land light headed) i to resist the impulse to quote this old favorite on j the occasion of the state board of higher eduea- i tion’s visit to the campus of the University of Oregon, we hope we may be pardoned. As McGurk said the other night, from the hustle and bustle ! and stir of preparations on the campus you might j almost get the idea that the state board had won a national basketball championship. It just hap pens, of course, that this April meeting in Eugene is the meeting for the fixing of budgets and salary adjustments and promotions. And this is a visit of state, a big official occasion. It is fitting that bands should play and that speeches should be made and that for all concerned the day should I be memorable. What we would like the gentlemen and the lady of the state board to feel, however, is that they are always very welcome in Eugene, whether they arrive in a body with a fanfare of trumpets or whether they just drop in to visit us. The Univer sity has never had much flair for “pomp and cir cumstance”; it has seemed at all times to be a little lacking in the art called showmanship; and it is a good thing for the University to “step out” a bit if only to prove that it understands these things. But after the show is over, we hope board members will feel free for more intimate acquain tance with the University and its people than has been possible heretofore. The state board of educa tion has accomplished some very fine things. It has quieted wars. It has restored higher education to the good graces and financial bounty of the legislature. Of necessity the board has had to strive to be absolutely impartial. But education in Oregon has lost something in vitality because complete impartiality also tends to be completely im personal. The differences between Oregon's schools do not end with divisions of funds and functions. They are different in history and tradition and outlook upon the world and its problems. Each has its pride. In each there is a quality which cannot be reduced to a pattern. There is a life which is not expressed in great football crushes or ceremonial gatherings or even in solemn rituals of commence ment day. There is something which eludes all the formulas of buildings and budgets and “Adminis tratiory” Thax is why we hope these Olympian exercises vill convey to the board something more than a formal welcome. We hope board members will feel Lliat we want them to share what teachers and Students come to feel, which is well, it’s a sort >f faith. Here on this campus, men and women lave dared to have brave ideas; here tradition las made an Oregon shrine for the great American loctrines of tolerance and liberty; sometimes at :he great risk of unpopularity and misunderstand ng, opinions have met here in the free atmosphere <f a University. Here there has been, is now and ve hope always will be unrest and impatience with i very imperfect civilization. When ceremonies have been satisfied we hope loard members will come again and talk with itudents and teachers and partake of high hopes ind healthful “heresies." Eugene Register-Guard.

Dahlberg, assistant pro fessor of speech, and Elmer Fan sett, University alumni secretary, left yesterday for Yakima to at tend the Oregon Alumni associa tion meeting tonight.

Robinson had also heard the broadcast and accord ing to reports he and Roadman spent the rest of the Sabbath celebrating. Thoughtful! . . . Perhaps mark ing a new trend in the patron patroness situation for house dances was Mrs. Alice B. Mac duff’s request when asked to at tend the Kappa dance Friday night.
