    WAA Members Propose
Constitution Amendment
Two revisions to the WAA con
stitution have been suggested by
*»_the special Women’s Athletic As
sociation committee, but before
they can be voted upon by the
membership of the organization,
the suggested changes must be
published in the Emerald one week
previous to voting. In order for the
constitution to be amended, there
must be a two-thirds vote of a
quorum of active members.
A meeting to vote on the pro
posed changes will be announced
next week.
The changes are:
Article III
Originally:
Section 1—Membership Fee
There shall be a yearly member
ship fee of $1.00. There shall be
no other dues or other outside
assessments.
Revised:
Section 1—Membership Fee
There shall be a $2.00 fee for
life membership.

It was decided that the active

WAA membership could not be
accurately kept up to date when
each girl pays a §1-00 initiation
fee and then a $1.00 per year each
year she remains in school. The
new method will promote a saving
for WAA members, a simplifica
tion of the secretary’s and treasur
er’s rolls, and will make for better
organization.
Article IV
Originally:
Section 3—Nominations
The nominating committee shall
consist of the senior members of
the cabinet, with the adviser as an
ex-officio member. If there are no
seniors on the cabinet, the presi
dent may appoint upperclassmen
who will not return to school in
the fall to be on the nominating
committee. In accordance with the
plan of women's elections, the
nominations will not be publicly
announced until election day.
Revised:
The nomination committee shall
consist of the senior members of
the cabinet, with the adviser as
an ex-officio member. If there are
no seniors on the cabinet, the
president may appoint three
upperclassmen to be on the nom
inating- committee. In accordance
with the plan of women’s elections,
the nominations will not be public
ly announced until election day.
Reason for revision:
Due to the usual lack of upper
classmen on the cabinet, it was
decided that the members of the
nominating committee should not
be restricted to upperclassmen
who will not return. This will
not afford the president a more
efficient and interested nominat
ing committee.
The members of the committee
appointed by the WAA cabinet to
investigate changes in the consti
tution were Virginia Scholl, vice
president of WAA, Miss Catherine
Jones, adviser, and Betty Inge
britson and Barbara Wells, cabinet
members.

cups of sugar, I questioned, “Why
do you bring back twice as
much ?”
She cocked her head inquisitive
ly. Then she said soberly, “The
patch got to be bigger than the
hole, don’t it?” There were many
things she borrowed after that,
always bringing back twice as
much. Once I tried to give her
back the extra egg she had
brought.
“Make Jon a one-egg cake,” I
said. But in vain—the patch still

Portland Minister
Speaks at Forum
Dr. Paul S. Wright, minister of
the First Presbyterian church of
Portland and president of the Ore
gon Westminster foundation, is
scheduled to speak on the subject
“World Order” at 6:30 p.m. Sun
day at Westminster house. He will
address the youth group in con
nection with Westminster's regu
lar Sunday evening open forum.
Dr. Wright, well known speaker
in this state's high schools and
colleges, delivered the baccalaur
eate sermon to Oregon's class of
eate sermon to Oregon's class of
pus with the Christian Faith
conference held a year ago last
October.
Dr. Wright was born in Iran,
the son of missionaries and came
to the United States when four
teen. He graduated from Wooster
college, Ohio, and enlisted at the
outbreak of World War I in Ohio’s
Buckeye division, serving over
seas until 1919 within the field
hospital corps.
On his return, he was employed
by the Goodrich Rubber company
for a short time before his decision
to devote his life to the ministry.
He received his bachelor of
divinity degree from Chicago
seminary and later his doctor’s
degree from Park college, Mis
souri.
Dr. Wright has held parishes in
North Dakota, Oklahoma, and
Minnesota. His church in Port
land serves Oregon’s largest Pres
byterian congregation.
had to be bigger than the hole.
As the years passed, I came to
know Annya quite well. She often
spoke of “home.” “Home” was a
good place. She would speak of it
with a simple sincerity that one
remembered a long while. Some
times she brought a magazine or
a letter. It was from “home.”
People were getting along a little
better at home. They were happier
than they had been for a long
time. Life was getting a little
easier. Annya was glad that life
for them was easier; she was glad
they were happier; she was glad
for “home.”
It was cn the morning of March
12, 1938, that Annya stood in our
house speaking of her garden, of
Jon, of many things that neither
of us were thinking of. Then she
turned to me suddenly and said
gravely, “Not all is goot at home.”
Annya Stroub was German. In
Germany was heard the rumbling
of a storm. It was as the thunder
that comes from the sound of
many marching feet. Then the in
tensity of the storm ceased, and a
great sigh fell upon the world. An
abnormal silence seemed to cast it
self like a blanket of moving
shadows upon the ever listening
peoples. The wind had already
begun its engulfing of nations, but
no one knew the true force of it,
as its noiseless currents moved
impatiently beneath the disturb
ing silence.
Then not even a prelude of
rumbling was heard before the
storm came again. This time the
weight of hate and revenge had
too long been suspended, and the
earth shook with the great roar.
Thus the turmoil, the confusion,
the great ruination the useless
waste began. And poor little
Annya could not understand.

Offering
Yesterday I stood by the hedge
that surrounds Annya’s little
house. She was kneeling there on
a patch of earth. She was working
more slowly with the seedlings as
she pressed the earth about the ir
stems. Jon had gone with the
army to England, then to France,
where he had fought his way into
the country of his birth. They had
sent her the letter day before yes
terday. Her Jon was dead. "Is
there anything I can do Annya?”
She raised her head. Her eyes
did not find mine. They sought
something beyond any material
thing. That sound in her voice had
changed into a different kind of
strength—m o r e an endurance.
"No," she said, "The patch got to
be bigger than the hole.”
