There is a difference between humor and obscenity—and yesterday’s assembly fell over on its facetin the lattei. With all due credit to the people who tried, the primary object of the program was submerged by a few too many off-color quips. And we in the student audience didn't “eat it up.” In the past, Oregon; rally assemblies have been the most eag erly attended of all eleven-o’clock Thursday events. We have liked the band, the skits, the efforts of the rally squad, and the presentation of local talent. Off-campus guests were welcomed. However, yesterday this was not the case. The rally squad showed promise, but the skits left us trying to convince new comers to Oregon as to our discretion and good taste. High school was never like this, they said. We will pass it off as an unfortunate accident. University stu dents should have a sense of values dependable enough to pre vent the necessity of an assembly censorship board. And we think that they have.Enough of the crude, lewd, rude and unattractive. Here’s to more acceptable and traditional student assemblies! Annual O^duxUi... Oregon’s annual, the Oregana, has clone it again. 1 lie Na tional Scholastic Press association has rated the 1944-45 year book All-American, a rating given only to three other publica tions in its class. Since the Oregana staff has turned out an All-American year book nine times in ten years, we more or less expect them to keep up the record just as a tradition. But, like other campus publica tions, the Oregana starts each year with many inexperienced staff members. Each yearbook is tuned to the changing University picture, and each is built around a new theme which is developed throughout. Last year's staff had its problems. The managing editor had to drop school fall term because of illness. 1 here were wartime dif ficulties with paper and photography possibilities. Added to these were the problems of meeting deadlines, finding an ade quate staff, and avoiding the numerous errors that bring on stu dent wrath. This year's staff has the challenge of maintaining the out standing series of Oreganas. 1 heir product "will be judged m a different class —that of schools with an enrollment of more than 2500. And the end of the war may mean that the yearbook will be judged even more strictly because certain wartime difficulties will no longer he taken into account. Last year’s model has been given national approval. We pre dict that the Emerald in October of next year will carry a banner headline reading: '46 Oregana Ranks All-American. Qeotofe 9
