Theoretically—Best Man for the Job
Twelve hours from now—if you’re an 8 o'clock Emerald
reader—ASUO President Barry Mountain will take the last
of the petitions for junior and senior representatives on the
executive council.
Background:
These two reps must be appointed because the AGS (Asso
ciated Greek Students) candidates were declared unfit to run
last spring.
By gentlemen's agreement—the vacancies will be filled w ith
AGS party members.
The ASUO constitution says “all vacancies among the elec
tive officers of the association shall be filled by a majority vote
of the Executive Council of this association.
Method of selecting these two replacements is the point in
question.’The executive council has decided it will be done like
this:
Petitions given to Mountain by 8 tonight. AGS leaders look
over all the petitions tonight, and recommend their favorites.
All petitions originally submitted and the AGS recommen
dations go to a screening committee of the executive council
Thursday morning. This committee turns its recommenda
tions over to the full council at a meeting Friday morning.
There the two will be chosen.
The screening committee is not obligated to duplicate the
AGS recommendations. Nor is the full council obligated to
appoint the AGS choices.
Then why is the party (either AGS or USA, as the case may
be) brought into the picture at all when vacancies are to be
filled by the executive council, constitutionally?
ASUO President Mountain’s answer is twofold:
1— Time. The party can facilitate the selection and the com
plete council is needed right away for fall term activities.
2— “To insure cooperation from all University groups this
year—not only political, but also social, religious, and in other
phases of campus life.”
Theoretically, no AGS member should hesitate to turn his
petition in to the ASUO president. Theoretically, no favorite
son or daughter should be forced on the executive council by
a political party. And theoretically, the best qualified student
should be chosen.
Right or wrong—the theory of this appointment method
will prove itself in the next two days. Til then—an open mind.

been noted for his amorous

Basically, “O ur Very
Own” deals with the prob
lems an 18-year old girl faces
when she discovers that she
is an adopted child. The real
impact of the film, however,
is in the girl’s realization that
the family and home are
things that can’t be taken for
granted.
Now the film is not really
as dreary as all this sounds.
In fact it is superbly handled.
Through the effective use of
the camera, and expert direc
tion of dialogue, the common
experiences of family life are
so surely and competently
handled that you can see the
tensions of your own family
crises in those on the screen.
Nobody becomes hysteri
cal, goes insane, goes out on a
binge, or murders in “Our
Very Own.” It’s a story
about normal people, who
react like normal people.
It’s so nice to sit in a movie
and see a theme handled in
telligently for a change.

If is a sincere pleasure to extend an official and a personal
welcome to all the University’s new students this year. It is
likewise a pleasure to welcome back all of our old students who
have returned for further work here.
This year perhaps more than any other year the University
is opening on a high note of optimism. After 25 \ t <11 s \\ e ha\ <. a
c+nrimt renter—one of the finest in the nation—the Millrace
Dr. NEWBURN
soon will run again, new li
brary facilities are ready and
there is every indication that
new admissions will he even
higher than last year. These
and other reasons point to a
good year.
As president of the Univer
sity, I want to urge each of
you to make the most of the
opportunities available to you
here. I hope you will feel that
the faculty and administra
tion have a personal interest
in your welfare and that we
are willing and anxious to
help you make the most of
your University experience.
Good luck and best wishes
to each of you.

Salient Scene at Oregon
If history were to record one scene of this first week at Ore
gon—fall, 1950—it would choose Sunday from 12 to 1 when
the campus walked into the Erb.
That should be 11:50 to 1. Director Dick Williams and Night
Manager Larry Davidson couldn’t wait for the noon whistle
before opening the main doors angling out to Thirteenth and
University.
About 25 or 30 students and parents were waiting. No
crowds poured in. No ribbons were cut. It was a lazy Sunday
noon—and every visitor knew the building would wait for him
to enter.
“Fabulous” was the word of the afternoon. Many asked
“Can you imagine this at Oregon?”
Football players -were among the first “guests.” Bill Fell
strolled through the main lobby. Quarterback Calderwood
sprawled in the Tom Taylor lounge.
Pool tables in the basement proved most attractive early in
the afternoon. And—despite the lack of pinsetters—the bowl
ing alleys were busy.
Three typical University women surveying the barber shop
in the basement christened it “darling” and one said “I’m going
to have John get a haircut there for sure.”
Sigma Delta Chi—men’s journalism fraternity—scheduled
the year’s first meeting in the building. Only one member, the
president, attended.
Barry Mountain, looking very student body presidentish,
walked through to his new office on an upper floor.
The nickelodeon played steadily, and nickelodeon-leaners
remarked about Benny Goodman’s “King Porter” being listed
as a Classical Selection.
Parents moved from one “fabulous” room to another with as
much interest as students. A party of officials took the after
noon’s only guided tour—and between stops President New
burn was seen resting on a bench near the elevator.
Hank Panian, student union board chairman, was not the
least of the visitors.
Visibly pleased with the opening, Dick Williams joked that
he was “just waiting for something to break down.”
And on through the week Webfoots have welcomed this
$2,100,000 freshman on the Oregon campus. The opening is
worth recording. Its lack of flash and glitter—its leisurely
pace—gave the Erb and the students time to grow on each
other.
