Time’s A-Wastin’
^"^NLY two tilings standing in the way of a
thorough job of revising the ASUO con
stitution for reprinting, the up-in-the-air
status of student body membership for next
year and the complete lack of activity on the
part of those who were supposed to be figur
ing out a standard class constitution.
The membership angle is perhaps the near
er of the two to settlement. Although the
executive committee has held off action for
at least another week, waiting perhaps vainly
for some indication of popular feeling, the
decision is likely to be reached either next
week or the week after.
The question in this case is so simple it is
difficult. As a matter of fact, the committee
is on the point of deciding in favor of giving
the student body membership to everyone next
year, for that is what it will mean if member
ship goes with the $2 compulsory activities
fee.
# # #
jOUT what the committee must study first
is whether revenue will be affected and
whether popular opinion favors a separate tax
on membership, as has been the custom sinee
the optional fee went into effect. In any case
the answer will be known within a week or
Hoarded—1500 Miles
JN putting the “ding” on the Idaho trip for
t he student union committee the ASUO
executive committee was not passing up any
bets Thursday, even though the fact remains
that the student union people will not go to
Pocatello.
At Pocatello, home of Idaho’s southern
branch university, there is a new union build
ing reported lo be particularly fine and valu
able. From a study of this building the stu
dent union committee will pick up first-hand
ideas about Oregon’s student union which
they could not get if they read student union
propaganda until they were black in the face.
They will find something to measure with at
Pocatello, just as they did at Corvallis, some
thing which will indicate both what is needed
and what is practical.
The catch is that they will not go this
year. After all, most of the school year is
gone, and what is left is going to be crammed
full of a great variety of events. Student
union business would be hard put to make any
headway through this.
pOR these two reasons it did not seem that
spring term was the best time for the trip,
because of the crowdedness of the term and
because the lateness of the year would make
it a blow in the air. Money was not a con
sideration.
Although the committee has already turned
in what is undoubtedly the best student union
committee job in history, the executive com
mittee felt that it was playing its cards right
by waiting for next year.
Next year will mean the necessity for get
ting student union wheels in motion all over
again. The promotional and psychological mo
mentum gained this year will have died with
the summer grass.
But the machinery will still be intact for
another campaign, and the student union com
mittee will be a group of seasoned veterans,
informed, willing, and able. All they will need
is a start, and that means Pocatello.

The class constitution situation shows no
such promise of immediate clearing up. Noth
ing at all has been heard on the subject since
John Dick appointed a committee headed by
the president of the senior class to draft a
constitution which would be so standard as to
be usable year after year without any drastic
change except in by-laws.
At least two alternatives appear which
might produce a class constitution: send out
an ASUO expedition to .determine whether the
appointees involved are still among the living,
or name a new committee.
# * *
'J^'IIERE are many activities going on at this
time, not the least is work on Junior
Weekend. It is thus likely that the original
appointees are too busy. But even as there are
a multitude of activities, so also is the term
a short one, which means there is not much
time to wait for developments.
The actual designing of a standard constitu
tion is not a superhuman task, nor will it take
long. But it does require immediate action,
before the year slips away. If nothing else will
produce results, a new appointment should be
forthcoming.
The
BAND
BOX
By BILL MOXLEY
But a Solo Is No Symphony
A new light is thrown on our
ASUO Greater Artists Series by
the results of a recent national
poll on the musical tastes of col
lege students. Either students
really learn to appreciate class
ical music or they find out that
they should be able to appre
ciate it even if they don’t. In
any event, the poll indicates
that symphony concerts are the
eighth most popular program
with college freshmen and the
second with college seniors.
Some magical process must
occur during those four years
of university life. Maybe it is
the forced attendance at con
certs to obtain the full value of
student body cards. Perhaps it
is putting the abundance of lei
sure time afforded by college
life into use by listening to radio
broadcasts of symphony con
certs. (Oh, sure!). But some
thing happens and whatever it
is it seems to indicate the ad
visability of continuing to ex
pose helpless undergraduates to
as much good music as possible.
It does sink in.
Tin Pan
In case you haven’t heard,
the home of America’s songs,
Tin Pan Alley, exists along
Broadway, between 45th and
52nd Streets in New York. This
sector got its name as a result
of all the tinny piano noises
which used to emenate from the
song-writing studios during all
hours of the night. Although a
majority of the highly publi
cized songs we hear about every
day are written in Tin Pan Al
ley, there are hundreds of suc
cessful writers living in all parts
of the country. Numerous song
writing teams are divided in
their work by a whole continent.
The musician may live on the
west coast and the lyric writer
in the far east. Many frantic
and inspired telegrams often
preceed the making of a smash
song hit.
It Is Rumored . . .
For anyone who may be in
terested, campus organizations
or Willamette park, Duke El

September 28 — An electric
oven and electric coffee perco
lator have been added to the
equipment in the Friendly hall
kitchen.
September 29—The new Com
merce and Music buildings are
now ready to occupy.
September 30 — Student loans
may be limited in the future to
non-smokers, according to Dean
Straub, trustee of the fund.
Smoking costs too much, he
declared.
October 1—Enrollment topped
the 2000 mark for the first time
in history today. This is not
counting the student body of
the Medical school in Portland
which figured in all previous
tabulations.
October 5—Each house will
be allowed only one dance this
year, according to a decision by
the dean of women. This year,
for the first time, Sunday even
ing dates are prohibited.
November 22 — Sixteen min
utes after the final gun of the
Oregon-O.A.C. game Saturday
afternoon, freshman newsboys
were on the streets with the
special edition of the Emerald
carrying the full story of the
game. The account of the game
was written by Ep Hoyt.
December 10 — The varsity
football team will travel to
Honolulu over the Christmas
holidays for several post-season
frays with the teams of Hawaii.
The critics are saying that this
year Ellington has the greatest
negro band in the world—more
versatile and talented even than
Cab Calloway or Count Basie.
