Honor System? Ha! Are Oregon students mature enough to put the honor system into successful operation? This question was mulled over on the campus last spring, and though nothing concrete has yet been done to put the honor system into effect, interest in it has been maintained. Now something has happened on the campus which makes the possibility of putting the students on their honor look more unlikely. Miss Elizabeth Findley, reference librarian, reports that current issues of mazagines have a habit of disappearing from time to time. And this habit has grown particularly since periodicals were put on open shelves where they are avail able to all. No longer is it necessary to ask for each magazine indi vidually; they're all within easy reach in the second floor periodical room. Convenience was the sole purpose of putting the maga zines on open shelves, but a greater inconvenience has result ed from it. It’s mighty unhandy for the slaver over the term paper who has found a good current reference to tie in, when he finds that the magazine he’s looking for has just disappeared. And it’s downright disturbing for the librarians, when it comes time to bind a year’s supply into volumes, when some of the issues are missing. The binding simply has to be de layed until a replacement can be secured. Right now they have a whole roomful of mazazines wait ing for the missing ones to be filled in. Meanwhile, anyone who wants one of the otljier issues of the year must be told that they are unavailable until they have been bound. The people at the library are not complaining; they’re not grumbling because things are not in perfect order. They expect a certain amount of magazines to be mis placed or damaged. But they’re just a bit disappointed that the st-udents can’t respect public property. When next you feel that sudden urge to carry off your fa vorite reading material for closer perusal, just remember — the Golden Rule is still an acceptable philosophy. J. G. Let Us Spend Your Dough Yesterday, election day, was peaceful in one respect. There was no high pressuring from liquor advertisers be cause nobody could buy the stuff anyway. But the day before, November 1, the men with the hot ideas and the copy pencils were working full scale. That was when many persons received their first veterans checks. Ad vertisers took advantage of the fact, and dangled allurments via radio and newspapers before the newly flush vets. Celebrate the arrival of your check, exclamation point, they said. Come to Club Blank, dance and dine. Or: Stock up now on the candied ginger you've been deprived of for two months. We have it in all degrees of hotness. It’s a vulture attitude: the arrival of $100 from the estate of your deceased grandmother would not be safe if the huck sters learned of it. That’s one of the more dismal things about Christmas be ing less than two months away. The Christmas advertising onslaughts will begin any day, now, that Halloween has be come history. And then Thanksgiving must be wedged in. Thank the Lord that a new stock of radio’s has come in today, exclama tion point. Buy now, exclamation point. Editorial 1’IU.KK .

Mgr. ---Lau of the Press Yes - - Your Vote Was Important By LARRY LAU Last spring the University of Oregon caused a disproportionate amount of consternation among politicians when 2200 students registered to vote. Old timers wagged their heads harkened back ; to previous elec tions when gov j ernors, senator* i and mayors had been elected by less than 500 votes, and ner vously wondered how this newest segment of the electorate would behave. As it turned out, approximate ly 70 per cent registered Repub lican, except for a few issues their opinions were normally di vergent, and there were no extra close contests the students could be said to have decided. Perhaps yesterday was differ ent! All day Tuesday the precincts abounding the University were crowded with voters ... a ma jority of them very young voters. On most issues campus opinion varies as much or more as that of the townspeople . . . but on some, the 2200 were of like mind. Was the Webfoo't vote influen tial? At this writing the polls are still open; the results won’t be tabulated until very late this eve ning . . . but. Downtown sources hint at a very close mayorality race be tween Hawn, Johnson and New man.
