Four Classes, One Constitution—Why Not?
JF ever a class came out of a tight corner by
flic skin of their teeth it was the juniors yes
terday, and if ever a student official had a
close shave without reference to harboring it
was out-again in-again Jim Pickett, who now
seems safely reinstalled in his presidential
position.
Yesterday morning it looked as if the
junior class was headless at the worst possible
• time, just as Junior Weekend groundwork
was about to begin. The class had even had
to consider electing new officers, which would
constitutionally require a two-wcck wait.
Out of all four undergraduate classes the
" juniors are the ones who can least afford to
“ be without leadership at this or any other
time. With the shadow of Junior Weekend
— hovering over them already, their big moment
both financially and dramatically, they can let
no grass grow under their feet from now until
the last day of that weekend in late spring.
* * *
JL LL filings considered, it lakes no very
astute analyst to discover Unit the junior
class, in the near-eligibility of one and the
non-return of Ihe other top class officers,
nearly suffered an almost fatal blow. The
seriousness of the junior predicament is not
to be forgotten even though the story in this
ease had a happy ending, with Picket restored
by the scholarship committee.
The scrape the juniors got themselves into
serves to point out with picture-clearness the
looseness of class constitutions. The juniors in
this ease were not even certain which docu
- ment was theirs, for one belonged to the
- “junior class of 1940“ and the other, drafted
when the present juniors were sophomores
belonged to the “sophomore class of 1041.’’ It
" took the judiciary in a full legal decision, to
decide that a class “may proceed to fill their
vacancies in accordance with the constitution
adopted by them as freshmen and need not
abide by the constitution of tlie preceding
class.”
The juniors have had a close call, one
which should serve as fair warning to other
classes that such contingencies arc possible.
# # #
JJOWEVER, in spite of a perfectly human
tendency to accept, such difficulties as
inevitable, it is apparent that at least one way
out has been considered. Thursday the ASUO
executive committee declared itself in favor
of one constitution for all classes; the com
mittee voted that a constitutional committee
composed of all officers of all classes lie au
thorized to draw up a constitution to lit all
classes.
H<irc is fin idea so simple, so obvious, lliat
it seems almost too easy. Yet it lias more real
strength than any proposal affecting classes
for the last live years. With such a standard
constitution there would he no room for
flexibility among class organizational setups.
Neither would there he the waste attendant
upon the formulating of a new constitution
every time a new class enters the University.
A new class can have slight idea what it will
need or what it can have in the line of class
constitutions. The AiSUO constitution does
not change each year just because there are
1200 or so new students in school, yet it is a
satisfactory instrument.
The idea is simple, but it is also revolu
tionary for here. No high-pressure selling is
hereby intended. In fact, it is practically a
sure thing to catch on by itself on its own
merit. It is likely that by next year there will
be only one constitution governing all classes.

The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
Wh«ezo Justified, for Once
If you heard the Kollege of
Musical Knowledge last Wed
nesday you will agree that poor
old Kay Kyscr certainly had a
terrible time on that broadcast.
When he first came on the air
Kay sounded like a combination
of Andy Devine and Jimmy Du
rante, which, if you can imag
ine it, is sompin’ awful. The
once loud and resonant Kyser
vocal cords were reduced to a
wheezing whisper comparable
to a bull frog with asthma. Kay
laughed it off, saying he was
just recovering from a slight
cold. It must have taken a lot
of nerve to go on the air and
feebly croak through a whole
hour’s broadcast . . . It's hard
on the radio audience, too, as
everyone feels uncomfortable
and keeps unconsciously trying
to clear his own throat.

Unrest in the Igloo Basement
^J'MtE basement of McArthur court is about
as far down as that edifice extends. And
holding forth in that same basement is a crew
of young men whose affairs are nearly down
to tiie basement level, in terms of psychology.
Specifically, the reference is to student ath
letic managers.
They are not exactly unhappy, these un
paid toiling activity men, nor is their.status
such as to be unbearable. But things are not
entirely beer and skittles with the managerial
staff, and there seems to be some justification
for their manifest desire for change.
First notice of unrest among the managers
came near the end of fall term, when the
managers developed a yen to organize on their
own hook. They drew up a tentative constitu
tion and presented it to the AS1JO executive
committee for consideration. That body, after
due study, gave the matter into the hands of
Dean Earl, who was to look up its constitu
tionality under the AiSUO. Thursday the man
agers got their answer, after the executive
committee had met. The managerial code was
held to overlap the ASUO constitution, and
to conflict with its by-laws.
'JMIK managers, the boys who spend from
three to five hours every clay of the week
pawing over equipment and earing for the
wants of various athletic squads, wanted their
own organization. They wanted more awards,
to prevent dropping out. at the end of the
second or third year. Managers work up all
the way through their four-year stay at the
University, from freshman menials to the
responsible number-one spot of the senior
year. Under the ASUO rules only third and
fourth-year men draw awards and sweaters.
The proposed constitution asked awards for
all, of a slightly different type. Sophomores
were to receive sweaters, whereas under the
present setup only juniors and seniors do.
More than that, they wanted to operate under
the rules of the Pacific Coast Athletic asso
ciation, which are not exactly those of the
ASUO.
In asking for more awards the athlete
servers were probably justified. They work
just as long and hard as those whom they
serve, getting little recognition for their work.
They accept a lowly status. It is the kind of
work which, if it does not draw pay, deserves
other compensation. As it is now all they get
is junior-senior sweaters and a couple of trips
a year. They should not have to ask recogni
tion. At WSC the managers struck for pay,
and they got it.
* * *
to the need for organizing, especially
under rules which confliet with their stu
dent body constitution, there is room for ques
tion. At any rate the managers were Thurs
day given the chance to revise their proposed
code.
All this would perhaps be regarded as of
little moment were it not for the fact that
the managers have come to the point where
they are understaffed and with little prospect
for improvement. Three managers take care
of both the varsity and frosh basketball
squads, and there is room for three times the
number.
As if the other points were not enough
they have a unique political problem at the
same time. As nearly as can be determined; the
senior manager has much to do with his suc
cession, and once in power individual houses
have clung to their senior managerships in
the different sports for a period of years. By
now it amounts to practically dynasty, as far
as top managing jobs arc concerned.
There is work there in that Igloo base
ment, work which boys arc apparently willing
to do. That all is not smooth sailing is un
fortunate. Managers can only keep trying to
find the solution. If organization is the answer
it should be permitted, within reason. It is
little enough to ask.

Tell more about their start as a
band leader, their hobbies, their

As I have already stated the

Dear Sir:

I am very interested in popular

Where does Bill Moxley get all

I wish he would include more

read and of great interest to
many students.

Dear Editor:
The new column in the Em
erald by Bill Moxley is a good
one. I think it should he con
tinued. By making good sug
lioti pictures, or radio. Of the
six hundred which reach the
public ear, less than two bun
dled acquire any prominence.
Of these two hundred, less than
twenty reach big money popu
larity. And lof these twenty,
only two or three will sell over
-50,000 copies. All of which
makes the odds about 115,000 to
one of writing the hit of the
year!

Dear Sir:
I am taking this opportunity
to write to you concerning Bill
Moxley's column, “The Band
Box.’’
In picking up your Oregon
“daily effort,” the first thing I
turn to is “The Band Box.” I do
this for the simple reason that
I, and many other students, are
interested in what is going on in
the world of swing. I think that
this column is one of the best in
your paper and I hope that you
will continue to print it.
Very truly yours,
