Student Government Stock Goes Up
P^VER since Ihe present setup of athletic
and educational activities boards lias
been in operation at the University one of its
most obvious characteristics has been its ten
dency toward year-after-year sameness in
composition.
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.

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. . . . Dale Maliicoat, the
man of a thousand ducks, is
back on the campus, veteran
campus citizens remember Dale
as the designer of many clever
signs using the duck as ASUO
publicity. . . . Katie Bates, tal
ented Alpha Chi, is the perform
er of miracles ... 8 ball week
end qneen is the DG’s Marge
Turner ... no one is still talk
ing about that Winter Wonder
land formal last week, it’s a
sore spot.
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.
