Which Way to Jump for Membership?
■y^IIEN the present ASUO executive com
mittee was first constituted last spring
by election and appointment there was noth
ing to indicate that anything special was in
prospect for its members. They went into
office just as three or four other such bodies
have done, all according to the book and
without fanfare.
Nobody foresaw at that time that the year
would be one of the most important in the last
six or seven for the associated students.
In fact, it is more than possible that few
people yet realize the importance of this year
in associated student history. What makes it
so important is that this executive committee
is going to have to decide before it turns over
the reins to another executive committee
whether the new $2 educational activities fee,
or “incidentals fee,” as the state board calls
it, constitutes student body membership. It
must be decided whether the act of laying $2
on the line at registration means membership
in the ASUO. If it does mean this there are
going to be angles which will have to be
worked out.
# # #
the state college in Corvallis it seems
to be the belief that the $2 is a student
body fee. This was pointed out last week on
this page in an excerpt from a Barometer
editorial. More immediate evidence appeared
Friday,after a conference with the editor of
the Barometer and his predecessor. Where
their understanding that the .+2 means stu
dent body membership originates is not quito
clear, except that they say it is in their stu
dent body constitution, a holdover from com
pulsory fee days. Anyway their understanding
is that the $2 means membership.
At the University of Oregon, however,
there is no such clear-cut belief. Asked Friday
whether the $2 meant automatic ASUO mem
bership Dr. Krb left thb decision up to tfie
executive committee, declaring the choice to
be their prerogative and duty.
That the case can never be open and shut
is perhaps the first conclusion 1q be gleaned
from consideration of the facts. Everyone
knows it would be ideal if all undergraduates
automatically had the right to vote in student
body elections. This has long been the convic
tion ol much ot the faculty, those who have
thought about it. But on the other hand the
question of practicality rears its ugly head
to cast a mercenary glow over the scene.
^OPPOSING the executive committee did
decide to let it go at that, making the
$2 all the tax required toward student body
membership. Two dollars a term totals only
six dollars a year per student, and budgets of
the educational activities and athletic boards
have been figured on a percentage of $1 b a
year payments. The divorcing of student body
membership from athletics, which would be
the only function left to itself, would mean
that the amount required for membership
would be lowered so much that it would be no
longer possible to plan revenue on a basis of
a membership-attendance combination such as
has been the case.
One factor which is causing plenty of head
scratching is the question of whether student
body membership or athletic events has been
the consideration selling AS1.JO cards for the
last four years. It is possible that there is a
pretty oven balance between the two, some
preferring cultural features and others pre
ferring athletics, but with both groups buying
the unit card. Under the new plan separation
is distinct. Now the next tiling is whether it
would be harder to sell purely athletic cards,
or whether it would make no difference. The
turn would be hard to call.
the side of the athletic membership it is
argued that it would be unfair to let all
vote while the most expensive part of the
program gots its support from other cards;
and there is ground for this line of reasoning.
It is this principle which lias prevailed up to
this point, for student body membership has
gone with the purchase of tickets while those
who did not contribute to the support of the
ASWO were not privileged to any of its ad
vantages, theoretically at least. It would be
difficult to justify giving non-contributors an
equal vote with those who did pay the extra
cash.
With so many aspects of the problem to
consider and three or four months to figure
it out, the executive committee is not likely to
hurry the decision. They can even toy with the
idea of having a separate student body fee of
•+1 or so if they feel like it.
All in all it would seem that the executive
committee has a pretty tight knot to cut be
fore it is through. With so much responsibility
it is especially providential that there is so
much time in which to work it out. The thing
is gong to have lasting effect, and it cannot
be decided hastily. It means too much.
Wings for the Art School--or Elbow Room at Last
grants of funds to be applied on the
University physical plant come they are
usually pretty well-considered affairs. Uni
versity planners try to work it so that the
money is asked where the need is greatest.
Last week there was an announcement of
a grant which meant long-overdue relief for
one of the strongest schools in the University
—architecture and allied arts. A tidy sum
was declared available to put two new wings
on the building.
So long has improvement been prayed for
in the art school that its partisans had almost
given up hope that anything would ever he
done to relieve its distress, which is of long
standing.
e * »
rpilh trouble with the art school has been
there for anyone to see for years. There
just is not room. One of the only two Carnegie
endowed art schools in the nation, the other
being Harvard, the University art school has
nevorthelcs; had the continual aspect of a
polling place on election day. They started
putting desks in the kails there more than
four years ago. So had had the situation be
come by this year that they seriously eon
sidered designing special platforms so tlmt
tin1 stair space could hold some desks also.
Some art classes were so crowded the students
had to be made to do their work at home. Art
school eyes arc ruined by scores in a year
through poor lighting, combined with long
hours.
* * «
nrilKSE conditions, however, now stand at
least within hailing distance of allevia
tion, with the appropriation already approved
and work due to start as soon as everyone can
get ready. With two new wings there should
be room enough at least to lake care of the
present overflow.
Whenever things manage to work out to
the “happy ending" after the aspect has been
blue for so long it is a time for congratula
tions. The art school is thus due.
Of course it must be admitted that the
happy ending is not really an ending at all,
for the art school will continue to grow
steadily as it has been, and in a period of
years people will be working out on the fire
escapes again. But that is the problem of
education in general, as long as it shall con
tinue to expand.

November — lu addition to
Campus Ballot vs. Election Assembly
JpOR sheer ripple-on-the-water quality there
are few college functions which can sur
pass those connected with student body yelling
and rallying. If there was ever a here-today
gone-tomorrow aspect of student life this is it.
Yet between the two of them these two func
tions have caused more trouble to the ASUO
in recent years than any other one thing
which could be named.
The rally committee is always wrong.
There is no conceivable way for them to be
right. Only a year ago the rally committee
went under a new set of rules, which were
supposed 1 o reform the rallyers but somehow
failed to make much difference.
At the same time that the rally committee
underwent its revision, a new method for
electing and perpetuating the yell king by a
sort of seniority arrangement went into effect.
1'p to this time nobody had thought much
about the yell king, who somehow got into
office and somehow maintained his line. It
was the new yell king setup which was found
asleep at the switch last week. Where there
should have been a new yell king two weeks
ago there still is no new yell king.
* * *
gY rule the yell king is elected at an ASUO
assembly from the two yell dukes, which
should mean an assembly very soon. But the
ASUO president, John Dick, has ideas of his
own on that score. Big John figures such an
election is hardly excuse enough for an entire
assembly. What lie would like to see is a ballot
election in the usual campus manner, probably
on Monday or Tuesday next week.
Now there is only one reason for the assem
bly election provision. The assembly method is
specified in order that both candidates may
be looked over, recognized, and evaluated be
fore the voting. This way there is not the
slightest chance for mistaken identity. If there
is anyone who cannot differentiate between
yell dukes this method is designed especially
for them. For this reason it has an element
of soundness.
Complicating the situation farther is that
Dean Earl, faculty godfather and active ad
viser of the executive committee, is numbered
among the scores of invalided flu sufferers
this week and cannot help matters.
HE AS CO lias a very few all-ASl’O assem
blies in any year. This year there has not
been a single one in this category. It would
seem that, both constitutionally and inspira
tionally, here would be an ideal spot for a
little student-body color.
Of course, in order to be effective, an
assembly announcement would have to be
made today to lake advantage of the free
hour tomorrow at 11. This is already too late,
which is the reason anyone’s guess is good as
to whether there will be an assembly eaily
next week or a campus election. Meanwhile
the year-old rules stand already more or less
ignored in practice.

The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
Binford vs. Holman
The long awaited jam contest
between Maurie Binford and Art
Holman is scheduled for realiza
tion in the very near future. It
will be held on the McDonald
theater stage within the next
three or four weeks. Each band
will play about six of its favor
ite arrangements with the em
phasis on torrid jive. Judgment
of the winner will be calculated
from audience approval, and
while an attempt will be made to
choose the band which plays the
better, the winner will probably
be the outfit that can swing the
loudest as most fans understand
swing better than skilful sweet
music. It ought to be interesting
to see the local boys give out
with all they’ve got.
Loch Lomond Low Iioad It<“al
Thing
Maxine Sullivan, the negro
songstress who made “Loch Lo
mond’’ famous as a swing tune,
has been making investigations
in an attempt to discover the
meaning of the words to “Loch
Lomond.” It seems that there is
really quite a history behind the
song. It was sung years ago by
Scottish convicts who were sen
tenced to die because of their
political affiliations. The words
“low road" mean a ghost road
that was only travelled by the
dead. The condemned man
would sing to the other con
victs before he went to Iiis
doom, “You take the high road,
I'll take the low road,” etc.
Waxes Make Debut
Bluebird has a flock of new
releases, some of which look
fairly good. Freddy Martin, the
maestro who first recorded
“Scatterbrain,” has come forth
with a new ballad called “Am I
Proud.” Glen Miller, the most
prolific of all bands, has record
ed “Ooh! What You Said” and
“I Beg Pardon.” Ray Eberle
vocals on the latter. . . . The
famous gold needle which will
play records a thousand or so
times has arrived in town and is
on sale for a dollar. These
needles should be good for fra
ternity and sorority record play
ers except that the kids are al
ways changing needles and if
everybody didn’t know about the
dollar needle someone m i g h t
throw' two or three of them
aw'ay before they found out
what they were and how much
they cost.
Dcnahue Called It
A1 Donahue is the famous
New York band leader who be
came known for his “society
music.” Donahue was the man
always hired at the swankiest of
swank hotels to play music soft
and sweet for delicate ears. One
night A1 decided that the future
was with swing and its expo
nents, so he suddenly changed
