Memorandum to Athletic Board
'J^lIH I'ict thut May Day will lx1 here in a
week is not startlin','. 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.

of England an honorary degree when he visits the t

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.

The
Show
Off
Congrats! . . . "I've Found Some
thing New in You,” hit tune
from “With Fear and Trem
bling,” was played by Phil Har
ris on Jack Benny’s Sunday
night spot. Immediately after
hearing the coast to coast broad
cast, Wilfred Roadman, compos
er of words and music, thinking
his hearing was inspired, phoned
the play’s director, Horace W.
Robinson. 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. Mrs. Macduff asked that
she be regarded as a guest, not
a hostess. Thus relieving some
couple of the necessity of worry
ing about what to say when
their turn came to sit out a
dance with the chaperons.
Olfe! . . . Wo’ve heard a great'
deal of favorable comment about,
the Prosh Glee. Especially
praised were the decorations for
which Cy Nims was largely re
sponsible. Clever was the draped
green paper which seemed to
change the Igloo into a very
realistic ballroom.All was swell
until Johnny Callahan began
banging the drums. We hope the
Junior' Weekend dance commit
tee will, in comparison, hire a
GOOD band.
Heard! . , . That actors in ‘‘Con
fessions of a Nazi Spy” who
have relatives in Germany or
other Nazi-controlled nations,
will be billed under phony names
on the film’s cast sheet . . . That
to please censors and the public,
MGM has changed the title of
Infidelity” — the forthcoming
Joan Crawford film—to “Fidel
ity. . . . That Glen Gray’s wax
ing of “Heaven Can Wait” and
“Sunrise Serenade” for Decca is
one of his best. Incidentally, -
“Heaven Can Wait” was,number
one on Saturday’s Hit ’ Parade ”
