Voting Again for Megaphone Rights
first glance the sudden discovery that
it is time for the election of a new yell
king would seem to belong in the bolt-out-of
the-blue category. It is certain that few people
remembered from last year that it was about
that time, and even Yell King Bob Elliott
had forgotten.
In fact, just about everyone had forgotten.
If the executive committee had not taken to
poking around in the ASUO constitution last
week in connection with the managerial setup
it is likely that the Elliott regime would have
continued merrily on its way until spring
elections.
There are at least a couple of reasons to
justify the sneaking up of election time un
obtrusively, but perhaps the first considera
tion should go to the fact that this time of the
year just is not commonly associated with the
idea of elections and replacements in office.
Spring term is the traditional time for most
of this type of thing, and apparently it isn’t
much thought of between springs.
* * *
jgUT the new method and time of electing
the yell chief was enacted early in winter
term last year (it is in the ASUO executive
committee minutes for February 211, to be
exact), and enough publicity was given it to
make more than -a ripple upon the public
mind. The fact that election time arrived and
passed unnoticed would seem to indicate that
not much of a ripple was made.
rerhaps the mam reason tor the over
sight, however, is the faet that tlie ASUO just
never got around to pamphletizing the new
rally and yell setup after it was ratified, so
consequently there was no reference point
from which to start, for the average ASUO
member, or for the executive committee, for
that matter. All the rest of the constitutional
and by-law material of the ASUO is assembled
in the little handbooks. The faet that the
material is for the most part in the little books
probably induced a disproportionate depend
ence upon them for information. It never
occurred to the many that the handbook,
which had its first printing in 1938 and lias
not been revised, might not be complete.
* * #
'YyiTH this combination of circumstances it
is plain that it would be hard to pin
blame, if there should be any, upon anyone
in. particular. This being the first year of
trial for the system it is not remarkable that
its operation slipped a cog. This slipup only
shows what to watch next year.
The only solution which comes to mind
toward preventing a ■recurrence next year
either in this or other offices is that the execu
tive committee, the ASUO president, and the
dean of men keep duplicate appointment cal
endars so that dates may be checked off as
they come around, and anticipated before they
arc past.
The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
Swing:, reported by some to
be the music of morons, is ev
ery day drawing more and more
artists with the ability to play
classical music at its best. Ben
ny Goodman can swing his
clarinet with the top symphony
orchestras in the country. Jack
Jenney is a better trombonist
than most concert artists. Re
cently Toscanini needed a trom
bonist to play a very high and
difficult passage from one of
Schumann's symphonies. After
a great deal of rehearsal the
maestro decided to withdraw
the number from his concert be
cause he couldn't find a man
really capable of handling the
part. He happened to hear Jen
ney on a radio program and im
mediately sent for the trom
bone star. Jenney was given
the difficult solo and executed
the passages to Toscanini's
complete satisfaction. . . . Jan
Savitt is one of the. most tal
ented violinists in the world and
directed several symphonic or
ganizations before he started
leading a hot swing band. Yes,
swing is lifting itself above the
back-room jam session of sec
ond rate musicians. It has be
come a real art, and like other
arts it requires and is getting
—top-flight performers.
Leo Robin anti Ralph Itain
ger, one of Tin Pun Alley's
most famous song teams, hardly
ever get together to work on a
song. Ralph works in the day
time, Leo at night. They com
promise when necessary by
comparing notes in the late af
ternoon. Other song writing
teams have lived continents
apart and .produced hits with
consistent regularity.
Jerry Colonna. the crackpot
singer-comedian, has a combin
ation of a bull's voice and a
fish peddler' , lung which en
ables him to sing a note longer
and louder than anyone else m

Law School Dance
To Be February 17
Committee heads announce that
plans are taking shape for the law
school winter term dance February
17, with William Robert as gener
al chairman.
The lawyers voted the social
function for this term to be for
mal, staged downtown at either
the Eugene hotel or the Cafe Del
Rey.
"We are presenting a formal
dance to prove to the rest of the
campus that, contrary to popular
belief, law school students are ca
pable of highest social conduct,”
Dave Silver, promotion chairman,
declared. “We feel that a bad prec
edent has been set in the past by
our idealistic informality. Realiz
ing that the campus is apt to mis
understand the law school atti
tude, we have decided to adopt a
1 mode that they will understand,
hence the formal.”
Committeemen at work on the!
dance are:
Tickets and finance—Tex Ham
ilton, Chester Trout, and Jeff Neil;
hall—Bob Recken, chairman, Bob
Havens, and Russ Iseli; music—
Jack Hay, chairman, Leon Olm
stead, Ed Luckey; publicity—Dave
Silver, chairman, Hugh Collins,
and Bill Lubersky; “Summons”;
and formal invitations—Kenneth
Abraham, chairman, Brock Miller,
and Herman Hahner; patrons and
patronesses—K. A. Wyatt, Betty
H. Brown, and Jeanette Hafner;
flowers—Charles Phipps and Jer
ry Norville; dates—George Corey,
chairman, M. J. W’ormser, and j
Francis Nickerson.
The committee reports that the
orchestra is still pending.
"Promoter Silver indicated that!
the lawyers will have a unique
method of presenting bids and in
vitations, something new and ‘dif- ■
ferent which will be kept secret.
Visitors from all over the. state
will be in town for the dance, he (
reported, including some promi
nent judges and alums.
1
Yell King
(Continued from page one)
hence the chance of a special elec
tion instead.”
Since the Thursday 11 o'clock ,
assembly period is not filled this •
week, the executive committee may ]
choose that time for their meeting ;
Whatever decision is made will (
come this afternoon after they .
confer with Dean of Men Virgil f
D. Earl. j
Election Required {
Need of a campus election to {
choose a new yell king came when |
ASUO leaders late last week un- I
earthed a clause of the new rally |
committee rules organized last j
year which requires election of a j
new leader two weeks after the {
beginning of winter term. I
One of the two present yell j
dukes will be the ultimate choice |
of the student body, according to j
the rules. This ASUO regulation J
leaves a clear field of competition ^
for Assistants Woody Slater and
Art Wiggin.
The new king will replace Bob
Elliot, who has been the chief
megaphone man for Webfoot root
ing sections since his election a j
year ago.

Dissecting Set
Lost; Lucky
Frogs Saved
Some lucky dog is being
saved from the fickle finger of
fate, for in the lost and found
department is somebody’s dis
secting set. Its past probably
reads of pickled cats and big
black bugs, but at the present
time it is just sitting in a drawer
at the University post office,
waiting for its owner to come
and claim it.
Its appearance is menacing,
for under that sleek, black, vel
vet-lined case are some very
dangerous looking tools. A ra
zor-sharp knife, tweezers, scis
sors, and a thing that looks like
a dentist’s “cavity-hunter” are
awaiting to get at some beetle’s
hind leg.
Included in the orphaned case
is a ruler which is covered with
all sorts of scientific-like signs.
Such things as gram, grains,
troy, avoir, Cm., Ml., and L U.S.
Fid. Oz. make the non-scientist’s
head swim.
It could be doing very much
instead of merely sitting there
in that dark drawer. Surely such
implements don't wander the
streets by themselves. It must
belong to somebody, and that
somebody can claim it at the
postoffice in the University de
pot.

MR. and MRS. NEW!
UCLA to Inaugurate
Greek Advisory Plan
Contrary to fraternity policies
of American colleges, the Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles
will inaugurate on July 1 an ex
perimental three-year fraternity
advisory system under the direc
tion of a full-time fraternity ad
viser, a recent UCLA release re
. vealed.
Financed by a $150 annual fee
from each of 27 fraternities on the
Eruin campus, the experimental
advisory system will function as a
centralized cleaning house for all
fraternity problems, according to
present plans.
Interest in the project is being
expressed by fraternity and soror
ity factions on the Oregon campus,
where, as in colleges throughout
the United States where “Greeks”
are camped, fraternities are indi
vidual entities, with necessarily
arbitrated elements.
Giving of financial advice, aid
ing management problems, helping
; toward improving scholarship, fos
tering a comprehensive program
of pledge training and orientation,
emphasizing the cultural aspects
of fraternity life, cooperating
with the planning and building of
chapter homes, and encouraging
more active participation in va
rious fraternity councils will be
the organization’s Objective, re
ports say.
