For a decade he has been one of the most talked-about figures in Southern politics. Only 10 years ago the rotund little man was assistant attor ney general for “Ed” Rivers, the man who was to become known as “Georgia’s first modern governor. ’ As attorney gen eral he weathered the “Old Gene” Talmadge regime, and man aged to checkmate the firey prophet of the 'Wool Hat at several turns, before he succeeded him as governor. His courageous fight through the supreme court for equali zation of what he considered discriminatory freight rates made national headlines, and he was seen as a new type southerner. A reading public accustomed to the Tom Watsons, the Pitch fork Ben Tillmans, and the Huey Longs began to look again. Who was this guy Arnall? He wasn’t a “Southern politician” in the traditional sense. He wasn’t the conservative professional of the Walter George type. Neither did he fit in with the one-crop school of Senator Bankhead. Maybe he was a “liberal” like Pepper and Hill. But that didn't fit either. Pie certainly didn't belong in the same room with the Bilbos, Rankins, and Talmadges. Arnall said he was Georgia. He said he wanted to get his state back into the union on equal terms. He did a lot in that direction. He pushed through a new con stitution to replace the old reconstruction-time job that had been ammended 301 (that s no joke, 301) times. Pie made the legislature repeal the poll tax. Pie made prison and pardon re forms, and stopped the high-handed practice of hiring and firing state employees as a result of whim. On the theory that a person of 18 could fight for his country and was therefore a first-class citizen, the little governor succeeded in lowering the voting age in Georgia to 18. His creation of a constitutional state board of education was hailed all over the nation after the very bad smells that hdd been seeping from Georgia's schools during the Talmadge era. • Ellis Arnall became Page 1 stuff again last winter when Georgia had two—or was it three—governors. Yes, this man Arnall is quite a man. The University is more than fortunate in being able to hear him Monday night. The campus owes a vote of thanks to the assemble committee, es peciallv to Dr. Dan E. Clark, its chairman, and to R. C. Wil liams, its secretarv, who have worked far enough ahead of cur rent schedules to line up speakers of this high calibre. Can't You Hear The Music We sat in the library yesterday and, through the medium of sound, were taken back more than three years to June 6, 1944, an eventful day in the country's history. We were listening to Norman Corwin’s "On a Note of Triumph.” But the boy just a few feet from us was transported not only to another age, but to another country— he was listening to Beethoven's Ero ica. Just across the table from him, Dorothy Maynor entranced a coed with her songs, while Stravinsky’s Fire Bird Suite stir red another listener. We all were sitting in the Matthew Hale Douglass room on the third floor of the library, where formerly sound was discouraged. A $10,000 bequest of an ex-University librarian, combined with a gift of records and record-player from the Carnegie en dowment. are responsible for the .room, and because of Doug lass, who believed in music, a dozen students at a time may sit and appreciate music of their own choice through individual sets equipped with earphones and a player. From Mozart and Bach to the moderns, from English country tunes to American folk ballads, from Shakespeare's works tc "The Charge of the Light Brigade," and from foreign language records to dialect readings, the collection's subjects run. Au thentic American jazz records will soon lie available, it is an ticipated, as the collection grows. Because of hard-working members of the faculty of the school of music, plus sincere co-operation by the library officials, the room has been established for the students—a retreat where r math, or biology, or journalism, or music, or geology, or any other major can escape from the classroom into the world lit chooses. Such a memorial is a just tribute to Douglass, who saw foi the Universitv a listening room just for pleasure. . JBi ,1,1.1 , l I- i t M ’ Here Are the Rules (In the belief that many University students have never seen, in black and white, just what they can and cannot do at this institution, the Emerald today prints the student discipli nary code. While most of the 'offenses are obvious, it will be to the interest of the student body to see how they are classi fied.) The University presents this code in full recognition of the fact that the overwhelming majority of students need no code imposed upon them and that the offenses outlined are uncommon on the campus. Nevertheless, it is in the interest of the entire University community that the student body know what general policies and'procedures the Student Discipline Committee, the Dean of Men, and the Dean of Wo men intend to follow in their disposition of such disciplinary cases as may arise. The following code is deliberately kept flexible in order that each case may be decided on its own merit. ARTICLE I - Expulsions* The following offenses are punishible by expulsion or such other penalties as may be imposed. (Expulsion means final and uncondi tional dismissal.) 1. Wanton destruction of property. 2. Drunkenness. 3. False information concerning overnight off-campus privileges. 4. Immorality. 5. Gross indecency. 6. Misbehavior punishable under the State of Oregon Criminal Code. ^Students may also be expelled for fraudulent registration. ARTICLE II - Suspensions The following offenses are punishable by suspension or such other penalties as may be imposed. (Suspension means involuntary removal for a fixed period of time or until specific conditions are met.) 1. Cheating. 2. Unauthorized absences from living organizations after closing hours. 3. False infirmation concerning overnight off-campus privileges. 4. Traffic in or possession of liquor at any University-sponsored ac tivity. 5. Any other action which brings discredit upon the University o. Oregon. ARTICLE III - Organizations 1. The administration of the University of Oregon expects each group organization that exists on the campus by the sanction of the Uni versity to conduct its affairs in such a manner as will reflect credit upon the good name of the group and the University. 2. Student organizations which violate the provisions of Aiticle 1 and II or whose members do so in such a manner as to fix respon sibility on the organization are subject to such penalties as the Dean of Men. the Dean of Women, or the Student Discipline Com mittee may impose. ARTICLE IV - Administration 1. Administration of this code shall be the primary. responsibility of the Dean of Women and Dean of Men, who may make final dis position of all cases involving punishment short of expulsion from the University. The Dean of Women and Dean of Men shall refer to the Student Discipline Committee all cases in which they wish to recommend expulsion from the University. 3. The deans may at their discretion refer any case to the commit tee and the committee will consider the referral itself as evidence of the gravity of the alleged offense. i-: H: *** * * Unanimously adopted by the Student Discipline Committee, Novem ber 13, 1943, and respectfully submitted to the President of the University._ The Notations of NORM TREMAINE Back to the pits.
