In its first real all-student body assembly of the year it will be discover ing; whether member-interest in this type ol function, so long; dormant as In lie almost a forgotten idea, will be sufficient to war rent increased activity' toward future plan ning of other such assemblies. The last previous ASTJO assembly was the spring nominating meeting. That meeting was the only purely ASUO assembly of last year. The same is true of the year before. It used to be 1 hat when there was no other pressing business Ihere would be at least an assembly each term for the purpose of mak ing athletic awards, which was a little better than handing them out over the counter. Tim last one of these was in honor of (ieorge Var off, who hafMiccn out making a world known name for himself as a pole vaulter. This type of assembly at least served to keep the ASUO conscious that it was indeed a unit. of 1 li<■ linmislakahic features about 1 lie year 1111is fur is llnil Ihere life signs ol' a definite undercurrent indicating that ;i revival of sludent interest regard in*? Ilieir own gov ernment is hiking place. Wlietlier lliis is true down 1o 1 lie Inst card holder or not remains to be seen. A yardstick is at band Ibis morning in tlie yell-leader assembly. Here (lie feel of a student body taking on 1 be aspeols of a corporate personal ity may find its most direct expression. It is not tbe cause for Hie calling of tbe assembly I bat counts; it is that snob an assembly is a valuable step toward integration. A function unused is of little value and may even die out in time. Tbe AS1T() assembly function lias been near tbe extinction stage. Today tells 1 be story of whether that trend is to continue. If tbe ASUO lias a successful morning there will be more to follow. -. # =* « Little Holland, or: Lumber on the Hoof jyjAYBE, ns Ion*? ns our own mnleness pre cludes much possibility of personally suc'di hi hi n to tho fnd, it's none of our busi ness if coeds wnnt to navigate nround in wooden shoes. Whatever else may lie said of the wooden foot-torturers it is undeniable that in most eases, us with anything coeds lake to generally, they are becoming, and in fact sort of cute. But before these walking-blocks take the place of bedroom slippers or appear with for mal dresses, and before someone comes forth with the idea that woodens are the greatest, thing since the invention of the fig leaf, we rise to defend t he saddle shoes as the foot wear which has done more for women’s feet and legs than anything else in history. We point with untruceablo pride to the fact that sad dles made long feet look shorter, made short feet look better, gave the girls a healthier stride, and through 1 heir comfort improved the very expression on feminine faces. 'YEOMEN have always boon given to tortur ing their pedal extremities. For the pres ent ii is getting so any part of the campus sounds like a Dutch dairy whenever there are walking girls around. Wooden shoes seem to have become near-standard wear much of the lime, especially in the kind of weather Oregon boasts through the winter months. At any rate whatever the girls put on t heir feet should not be considered startling in the light of his t ory. We should never have started this. The girls still wear saddles. They will continue to wear wooden shoes. A fad is a fad, whatever i1s form. Having championed our favorite footwear and expounded briefly its merits, 1 litis demonstrating at least a superficial con sciousness of what girls wear on their feet, it should be about time for us to retreat in good order and in all dignity back to our male interests, to ponder on our inexpertness regarding feminine fancies. In the Mail NEW FEE TAKES BEATING February 5, 1910 To the Editor: ““Incidental a new name for an old fee" is right! Yet the new 'Incidental" fee smells and hurts as badly as the old Student Ac tivities fee" of the not too dis tant past, now dead, but not forgotten. In 193,r> the “Student Activities fee” was authorized. We quote the Oregon law: “The state board of higher education may, in its discretion, levy and collect from the stu dents in the state institutions of higher learning, or any of them, a fee not to exceed five dollars ($.9) per term, to be used, at the discretion of the board, for the development and promo tion of such student activities as lecture and concert series, oratory, debate, dramatics, mu sical activities, athletics, stu dent publications and other recreational and cultural activ ities. The funds so collected shall be administered by such organ izations as the board may from time to time designate.” This act, and we quote the law again: "Was submitted to the legal electors of the State of Oregon for their approval or rejection at the speciul election January 31, 1930, pursuant to referen dum ordered by petition filed in the office of the secretary of state June 10, 1935, in accord ance with the provisions of sec tion 1 of article IV of the consti tution, and was rejected by a majority of the votes cast there on. There were 00.971 votes cast in favor of said measure, and 163,191 in opposition to it." The new name for the old fee therefore does not make it legal. It is expressedly against the wishes of the people of Oregon that the students be compelled A Year in a Dag llllilllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllJlllllllllli||llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiill[|lliiillllilllllll!lllllll By WES Sl'U.IVAN 1915 September 18 Samson H.

Edwin Markham, the poet, forth with, “Well, why don’t you Ifoe” will be a University speak er next week. October 7 A picture of the proposed Women’s Memorial building (Gerlinger hall) ap pealed in today’s paper. Smokers Found Out October Dr. John Straub is fathering a movement to create a “Nicotiner's Rest" out on Kin Mid field for the boys who sneak out between classes for a smoke. Guess the boys didn't know he had found out. October 23 — Considered one to pay compulsory fees for ac tivities which are definitely extra-curricular even if they are clothed with the term "educa tional activities fee." If such activities are educational in the sense that we apply the term to the rest of the university activ ities, then it is the duty of the state to provide sufficient funds to cover and extend the benefits of these "educational" activities to all enrolled students in the state institutions of higher learning. The Oregon student is already burdened with fees which exceed those levied against the students of the c-ther Pacific coast state institutions. In fact the fees of of the funniest events of the day and given special play as a fea ture story was the tale about a phone®call received by a Univer sity coed. The caller said he was from the electric company and asked if the street light was burning. When the victim re plied “Yes" the joker blurted forth with, "Wei, why don’t you blow it out.” The governor suggested mili tary training in colleges is nec esssary in a speech in the men's dorm yesterday. 8000 by 1028? October 20 According to re cent computations the expected number of students at the Uni versity will be 3000. October 28 Eugene high school has been granted per mission to erect an “E” at the other end of Skinner’s butte. Co-op Store to Start November -1 A student “co op" store, to sell books and school supplies, will be started next year. November 30 Lamar Tooze, president of the student body, will leave soon for the Hague peace conference. the Oregon institutions are the highest of all state universities considering the material bene fits derived from them. The state of Oregon has the second lowest appropriation for educa tional purpose of all the remain ing states in the union. If additional funds for educa tional activities must be levied let them come from increased state appropriations, and not from the pockets of the stu dents. who must in the majority (70 per cent) be self supporting. If increased fees continue, and rumor says they will next year, when will they step? Action must come. NOW! JOSEPH M. LISIAK. Behind the With JACK BRYANT It's been a lovely day! We're not out of running for the bas ketball championship, and even if we do lose this year we’ve w’on the past two years. And if your Beaver friends bring up this year’s basketball, remind them that there are two more games to play. Then start talking about swimming. We really waxed the Beaver splash ers. There is golf and tennis to talk about, too, these sports are going to be right up our alley come spring. Bounder New candidate in the king of hearts contest, DON GILBERT, is being backed by the bound ers’ row political power-house. Just what the committee had in mind when they selected their candidates is a mystery to even Jim Pickett, but plenty of wild guesses are floating around. Fighters?

And by the way, the boy was-I-madders are moaning about the OSC game Saturday. It was very evident that the Oregon State band was from Oregon State. They rendered Mighty Oregon in such a way that the janitor is probably still picking up the fragments. iviusie uepartmeni Jens Hansen, ex-SAE, is now studying drumming and arrang ing in New York City. Gene Krupa’s former teaclfer, Harry Henninger, is giving Jens a few pointers. Also on Jens’ faculty is Maur ice Purtill, Glenn Miller’s drum mer, and James Mundy, brilliant colored arranger of Benny Good man’s. Donna Row gives out the in formation that Hansen was the winner of a drum contest spon sored and judged by Gene Krupa, as the outstanding drum mer among twelve contestants. While on the campus, Hansen was the drummer and arranger in Maurie Binford’s band. Now he gets the Emerald every day out there in the big city.

The band also repeated "Pavanne” under the direction of Leon Handzlik, head of the Franklin band, with Tom Landles as trumpet soloist. Orches tra Director Wendell Gilfry, an Oregon graduate, also directed one number. Wiscarson Directs Vernon Wiscarson, instrumental supervisor of Salem schools, felt right at home when he took over to lead the band in Dvorak’s finale to "The New World Symphony,” having acted as assistant director under Mr. Stehn from 1934 to 1936. "Children's March” by Goldman and "Under Freedom’s Flag March” by Nowowieski proved pop ular encore numbers. “A Manx Overture” by Ilaydn-Wood, nation al class A required number for high school bands, was also includ ed in the repetoire.

They lost only two or three games and have lost two games in conference play, one to Washington and one to Oregon State. Their starting’ lineup usually shapes up with Jack Jennings and Bill Chase at forwards, John Lin deman at center, and Bud Olson and Pete Hooper at guards. Lin deman is about six seven and is northern race. Olson Is Star Eugeneans will remember little one of the leading scorers in the Bud Olson who ran wild against last year’s Oregons while they were holding down Pete Hooper, northern division all-star. Hooper this year is a brother of last year’s | star. Not to be forgotten is Roy Gentry, he of the barrel chest, I Vern Butts, and Ray Su$idquist. 1 For Women Only (Continued from page two) fine. Monday morning' Glenn was surprised to learn in editing class that .John was in the infirmary. On phoning the infirmary he dis covered he wasn't there, which caused him no end of worry. A call to the Sigma Nil house brought similar results. Poor Glenn contin ued to worry until late afternoon when the mystery was finally solved. Apparently the freshman on phoire duty at the fraternity was inefficient by afternoon though, friend John was safe and sound in the infirmary. Glenn was relieved and things were fine again, but he was still a little puzzled about the whole affair, having pictured the “blond boy" in a nasty accident of some sort. Story of Artists' Ball (Continued from page two) 1033, was an East Indian mardi gias idea. It cost 75 cents and was a "fancy costume, masque affair.” The 1935 and 1936 balls were held at Gerlinger as costume dances. So was the 1937 dance, with Gerlinger representing Davy Jones’ locker; octopi, mermaids, and seaweeds featured. Last year's ball went back to the Anchorage with an artists and FLOWERS for the HOUSE DANCE If will please her if she has f lowers to match her gown.
