Oregon Gets a Break
The University gets a break Monday when Ellis Arnall
former governor of Georgia, comes here as the first speaker m
the 1947-48 student assembly series. 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.

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.

Unanimously adopted by the Student Discipline Committee, Novem

The Notations
of NORM TREMAINE
Back to the pits. Do you ever wish you could be taken up
and your troubles rung out as simply as you would ring out
a wet washrag? You bodies who are still bubbling over with
summer colds can sympathize with me. I'm really past the
cold stage; now I'm waiting for the positive report to come
back from my TB X-ray. I’m not saying I have a bad cold,

Taking the traditional tussle be?'
tween the concerto collector an#
the gal who just lives for the da'.,
when Frankie, cuts a new one insl
consideration, fertilizer and foolj_
ball would- no doubt have been r
wiser choice than writing a music
column. At any rate, we’re begin-*
ning with the very best intention^
Pick the current platter ■ crojj.
Tex Beneke leads the Glenn Mil*
crk in “Prom Date,” a sweet-lij,
tening album of campus classic#
Tex’s" arrangements of J‘Alma Maw,
ter,” “Sweetheart of Sigma'- ChiA
"Notre Dame Victory March,” anl
five other prom favorites are ani
most like Miller at his^best. Give
this a 4-point rating. . . Te|^
scored on the album but flubbed on
his latest single: “Sunrise Serrf'
nade.” -After his long saxophonj
solo had hashed up the melody vM
were left wondering if Victor ha<v
n’t mixed the labels on a New OrV
leans jazz number. Get the origimd
Glenn Miller arrangement of this *
if you can find one.
“The Whiffenpoof Song” seeirrs
to be sweeping the top-ten lists^
even though it has been a Yale
traditional for many years. Among,
the newest arrangements of this
college sentimental are Decca's
Bing Crosby and Fred Waring*'
combo and Capitol’s Pied Pipess
dance version. Der Bingle is(
pressed hard by the old TD vocal
ists on this, and neither approach
es the beautiful Victor release. Met_,
baritone Robert Merrill won the
record artist of the season awaffl
from a national song magazine for.,
his straight and forceful singing on
Victor and easily deserves a 4-point
plus. You can’t go wrong.
Nelson Eddy has just cut two
new albums for Columbia, his first,
for many months. “Hymns We
Love” is an Eddy showpiece, he
sings bass, baritone, tenor, and so-*
prano and combines them all int£
a one-man glee club. Pretty tricky
and good, if you like the distortions
of one voice that much; perhaps tire
very scratchy record surfaces on,
our album had a lot to do with our
putting it back on the shelf. With,
a regular chorus behind him, Eddy
does much better on “Songs Fron\
Northwest Outpost.” .It’s excellent
as it is, but the actual Rudolf,
Friml songs are only fair and un
less you saw the movie you are apt
to be disappointed.
Some good classics get the scoof>
in our next column. Did you heajj'
how Columbia tided to jump tlf^
gun with the first post-war opera,
or how Victor is scoring a sensa-l
tion with artists who have beetl
dead for 20 years? See you nexq,
week. *
I was breathing through my pores, j
Lucky for me they were clean. j
I was looking at a mother of
pearl iron lung the other day. It
featured a shaved down diaphragm,
dual head rest, sixteen inch wheels
and on the inside, a small pinball
machine. I was thinking seriously'
of buying it until I coughed and
the salesman tried selling me a five
by ten grave lot at Riverview cem
etery. A true killjoy.
I had a blood test just before I
came down to school. The only
thing they found was that I need
ed some. Blood test— that's where
they drive a nail in your arm and
J suck out the blood with a grease
gun.
For the cold I have been taking
nose drops, sulfadiazine, vitamin
1 A, aspirin, soda, cold shots and
| cough medicine. All hopes for cur
ing this ailment are left to the
band-aid and Chinese herbs.
