Stockholders v. Citizens in the ASUO
^^S far as its self-set schedule is concerned,
the A8TJO executive committee's decision
as to which fee should carry student body
membership next year is overdue.
However, in view of the significance of
the step and the fact that no more fees will be
collected this year, there is no reason to stick
to arbitrary schedule. In fact, the more time
taken for consideration the better. At any rate
there is time to the end of the school year
in June.
Up to the time of last Thursday night’s
athletic board meeting it was thought: by
every member of the committee that the ques
tion would be settled the following day, Fri
day. But the trouble was that the more talk
there was at athletic board meeting the more
complex the fee situation appeared. Accord
ingly John Dick, ASUO president, called off
the Friday meeting in favor of a trip to Cor
vallis for a consultation with Ralph Floberg,
ASOSC president.
T Corvallis not much new was learned.
John Dick will report fully at the execu
tive committee meeting set for late this week.
He did learn, however, that the ASOSC con
stitution is up for revision—they vote today
on it—more because it was cumbersome and
out of date than for any other reason. Why
they decided on an eight-stqdent, seven-facul
ty member educational activities board was
not learned.
Regardless of Dick’s report, there are still
only two possibilities: either membership to
go with the compulsory fee, or membership
to go with athletics, giving tlie vote only to
the stockholders in the student body cor
poration.
It was the latter aspect which really tied
things up at athletic board. After it was
worked out that 100 per cent membership
would be giving control to non-stockholders
there was not much left to be said until some
thing new could be uncovered.
And there lies the kernel of the matter,
for an executive committee elected by a 100
per cent vote would have only' a doubtful
right to administer the separate funds of an
other smaller corporation. On the other hand,
a minority-elected committee would face
handling funds derived universally, in the
case of the activities board. This seems no
more answerable today than a week ago.
■* * *
^^LTHOUGH any delay would at first
glance seem to be the worst kind of pro
crastination, there is one sound reason for
nonhaste which should be considered, and
which makes delay appear more wise than
otherwise. This reason is the new executive
committee which, will be elected in less than
a month.
After all, it is next year’s committee which
will have to reap the harvest from whatever
is decided this year in relation to stiident
body membership, and it should have a hand
in the deciding. Accordingly, it seems only
reasonable that a joint meeting should be held
soon after the new committee is elected, bring
ing together the new group and the one which
has been in harness this year. The combina
tion. capitalizing on the experience of the
old group and the calculating vision of the
new one, should be the one to work out the
solution.
Building Canoe Fetes From Bottom Up
PERMANENT bases for canoe fete floats
looked good enough on paper, but the first,
completed base, which hit the water of the
niillracc yesterday, is even better than the
diagrams.
Riding there, moored to the bank, solid as
a bridge, that first base was a tangible repre
sentation of something which should have
been thought of long ago. Taking half the
guesswork out of float building is no mean
step.
These new bases will actually float, with
out the haywire, haphazard uncertainty at
tendant upon previous, temporary efforts. No
longer will float builders have to put in their
most strenuous effort on base-building; they
can spend more time on more spectacular
superstructure. No longer will bases be in
dividualistic to the point of near-catastrophe.
Tn addition to their dependability, the
new bases have the added advantage of elim
ination of wasted effort. Once built they will
not have to be rebuilt each year or broken up
at the bridge. Smoothness of operation will
result.
rJ''IIE other consideration is that of sound
economics. This way 50 per cent of the
former waste is eliminated. Each year half the
cost of floats has rested with bases. Now the
initial cost is there this year and there will
be little difference to float builders, but when
the canoe fete is history for the year the bases
will still be on hand for future reference.
For reasons of stability, efficiency, and
economy, then, permanent bases justify them
selves. With half the worry of construction
already eliminated this year’s canoe fete
ought to be able to start in immediately dem
onstrating that a step has been taken toward
consistently better canoe fetes.

ONCE OVER
Lightly
By PAX TAYLOR and SALLY MITCHELL
By PAT TAYLOR and SALLY MITCHELL
After giving the AWS delegates the onceover (and not lightly)
we've decided we’re cer'nly lucky they didna come on a w'eekc-nd.
Cer'nly are.
Cal Gal: Conventioneer Virginnie Hoisholt, Theta, would appeal
to anybody any day of the week. She’s really a triple threat—being
a Mortar Boarder, Raleigh distributor, and purty, too. While giving
Theta data, seems all Chi Psi Kenny Bowes does is date-a-Theta—
Ellen Ann Evens.
Nail Tales: One of ”Les Blondes" in “Idiat’s Delight” had to file
her nails in one scene, and after a month of rehearsals and three per
formances she practically had them down to her wrists. Well, she
didn’t exactly file them—she just threw them away. (Ooops.) Speak
ing of nails, one can’t help wondering why Jeanette Harbert doesn't
stab herself in her sleep some night.
At Last: Boys have definitely stated what they like in women's
dress (beside women) by designating pinafores for Junior Weekend
wear.
At Least: Lloyd Sullivan, Wally Rossman, Jim Pickett, and Fred
Ehlers, Weekend heads, like to see ’em on the girls.
New Two: Paul “Stonewall” Jackson, Phi Delt, and Nancy Strat
ton, Theta.
New, Too: Are Margo Winstanley and Bill Betfuss, steddy cup
pie; as are Betty Jean Steers, and Gordon Landeen.
Excuse us for Bracking, but the campus’ two Brugmans—Theta’s
Helen has been seen with Jfoff Neill, and Pi Phi’s Merry, with a fel
low we know only as Buzzy. . . . Dam good sports and darn good
writers of the same are George “Blackjack” Pasero and Elbert
“Hawkeye” Hawkins .. . Alyce Rogers will cruise her curbs elsewhere
this summer; she has a job as a desk clerk at fashionable Lake Tahoe.
. . . Repeat performance: Barbara Neil, Kappa, has Norm Foster’s
Delt pin. Podd’n us, but haven’t we heard that some’eres before?
Slipperiest thing in the world: Two eels wrestling in a barrel of oil.
Nominee for the most 'mbarrassed of boys was the lad who
was overlooked by the Hendricks Hall Housemomma and locked IN
—just as all the Hendricks Hallers came down for house meeting in
P.J.’s, curlers, and all that various and sundry stuff. To be girlish
about the whole thing—he was really in a tizzy.
Excuse us if we add our comment to the business of Goodman
for the Grosh Glee: Quote, WOW! Unquote.
