Most of the faculty members who were ap pointed to the board in its inception are on it, now. They are there as representatives of defi nite fields of influence, to take care of each of the branches of endeavor which the boards oversee. Each man and each position is care fully weighed out, until the result is two teams. As the boards have grown up the men have grown up with them. Until yesterday much the same was true of the student side of the boards—up to the point of long service of course, for the student term is one year. Student members were of course entirely ex officio, and were appor tioned according 1o position between the boards. The ASUO president Sat 'on boll) boards; first and second vice-presidents were automatically athletic board members; ASUO secretary, AWS president, and Emerald editor automatically belonged to educational activ ities. 'yy/'ITIL tliis makeup the boards were not always an ideal arrangement from I lie student standpoint. Often there would be a member or two from the student side who could not attend, due to the time of the sched uling’ usually. Whenever this happened the ratio went as extreme as 4 to 1 between students and non-students. Student members hesitated even to express their opinions. More than that, working on only one board gave an incomplete perspective of the prob , lems relative to both. There is considerable coincidence, as in the matter of collecting fees, and policies overlap. Yesterday, however, President Erb wisely changed much of this maladjustment. He ex tended to the entire ASUO executive commit tee the right to belong to both boards, be on their mailing lists, and do everything but increase their vote. Student government is as much of a puzzle as national, state, or local government based upon popular franchise. The apathy concern ing the vote is colossal. Not even one half of the student body can even be induced to vote in the spring for next year’s officers. Little interest is displayed in student prerogatives in regard to self-government. With such a situation it is not surprising that functions the students should be running themselves, and which nobody else really wants to run, grad ually slip into other hands for the simple reason that otherwise nothing would be ac complished. 'IX/'ITII this in view it is a distinct sign of improvement, when a student governing body gets interested enough to ask more rather than less work, for the doubling of student board work is actually a self-sentence to hard labor. This one factor alone is enough to make the 100 per cent inclusion of the ASIJO execu tive committee on both boards the most sig nificant step in student government since the inception of preferential voting here. The functions and rights are available to the students, but they must demonstrate their willingness to undertake the responsibilities and work involved or else their few vestiges of student government will continue to trickle away without anyone much caring. It may be that the new board setup will mark the turning of the tide.

Welcome Dads THL EUGENE HOTEL A\ !?ojp K'-en tbinj; I Iu (yood 1 j: tr The BAND BOX By BILL, MOXLEV Dance planners for the Sigma Delta Chi shag, spring term, are working fast and furious in an attempt to land some really big name outfit to swing out at their annual party. They’re run ning around the Shack mumbl ing such names as Carl Ravazza, Jimmy Walsh, Freddy Martin, and Artie Shaw's old band. Sounds great, and if one of these top-flight maestros could be lured to ye old Oregon cam pus, the dance committees could dispense with decorations, pub licity, and everything else. In fact, they could probably hold the dance in a barn and pack it to overflowing. A La Orrin Speaking of big name bands, Bob Mitchell should do quite well in the Igloo next Saturday night. Although Mitchell isn't by any means a big name band Behind the With JACK BRYANT Ought to be a big night off the campus as there is nothing besides the game scheduled. Could have imported a “big name” band from Clatskanie for the occasion. This old stuff of big name bands for the cam pus dances is getting to be like a short hair cut, always good for a laugh. . . even with all the dads down, the Trees will probably do a rushing business. . . . After a show and drive Sunday it'll be time to start Monday classes, never fails. PREPAREDNESS Most colorful stories heard this week is Constance “con science” Walbridge’s embroid ered red flannels, and Beta’s Wait Miller apple green lon gies. . . .

Obediah Brown conceals its true identity through under handed policies . . . Nan Moore and Lyn Backus . . . Alice Courthard, junior transfer from San Mateo junior college . . . Ken Harquail gets the laughs because he has two coats, one to leave if he is in too much of a hurry to grab it on the way out . . . his brothers might like to know more . . . Janet Chris tianson’s ATO pin is causing heart breaks . . . Squelching as yet, he is reported to be fast approaching: that status. He fea tures violins and gives forth with real sweet music a la Or rin Tucker. Harry James, Prodigy Harry James, Down Beat's pojl winner, has one of the most bizarre musical backgrounds in the business. Harry's mother and father were circus perform ers and grew up in the wild hullaballoo of circus life. He started playing a trumpet at three years of age and at four he took up the drums.’One day the regular drummer with the circus band got sick—and Har ry, at that tender age, filled in for him for a month. He was billed as ‘‘The Child Prodigy of the Drums.” While he was learning the drums and trumpet, Harry be came friendly with the circus contortionist and learned a num ber of that gentleman’s tricks. He became so good at tying himself up in knots that he was featured for a long time in his own little act, doing double jointed tricks and other stunts in the contortionist’s repertoire. However, he never gave up his trumpet today stands at the top of the list. Komantic ? Fats Waller's newest record ings have the romantic titles of ‘‘Your Feet’s Too Big” and ‘‘Suitcase Susie” . . . Larry Clinton’s recording of “The Johnson Rag” is selling steadily to swing fans; it’s got that real Miller jive absent on so many of his sweet tunes. Sons and Daughters THE IDEAL I ENTERTAINMENT FOR DAD— Bowl or play billiards with him at the BEAUTIFUL NKW Eugene Recreation I'l’itau'k. auoi. from the McDonald Theatre line of Betty Jean Bigg's “Sor ry, but Jimmy’s walking home with me.” NEW DUO Ed Wheeler, Phi Delt, and Sally McGrew, Gamma Phi . . . now they're accusing people with short haircuts of rushing the season, but spring is here, saw it Friday moAing, but the rest of the day it was inmagnito ....

Now they’re talk ing of having table reservation service at the libe, with each house reserving tables, the “floor show” comes on prompt ly at 9 to be followed by the “8 ball ball” if plans work out right.
