Faculty Should Pay or Car Should Go
The University cannot legally fine a faculty member for a
traffic violation on the campus. It's something that just isn t
done and therefore the assumption that faculty members are
not being fined for violations is correct. But punishment of
student violators goes on.
Presumably the only manner in which the University could
levy fines for faculty traffic violators is for the faculty members
themselves to pass on it in the faculty senate—an unlikely
prospect.
Bv the same token, giving the student traffic court jurisdic
tion over faculty cases stands on shaky legal grounds.
But the problem continues—campus traffic problems are
not solved by punishing one set of violators and letting an
other group go free. A round-about way of fining faculty mem
bers is to send the tickets to the District Court on a charge of
trespassing. A quicker and easier way is to simply have the
cars of the violators towed off the campus. It costs $2.a0 to
get your car back after it has been towed olf. hurthermore,
it’s inconvenient.
A brief check through some of the citations for faculty viola
tions indicates a substantial majority of them were simply the
result of parking in faculty lots and not taking the trouble to
pick up a faculty parking sticker (free of charge) at the physi
cal plant. Of the 31 checked, 18 violations had been caused by
neglecting or refusing to obtain the stickers.
The legal technicality which makes it impossible for the L ni
versity to fine a faculty violator is not clear. Charles Howard,
professor of law, the man who ought to know, admits he knows
“quite a lot” about it—but “I don’t care to enter into a discus
sion of the matter,-’ he said.
However, as it stands now, the best practical solution is prob
ably towing the faculty cars oft the campus. Tow half a dozen
cars oft amid lots of publicity and the problem would probably
be solved.—K.M.
Sports on a Different Plane
An indoor picnic—that’s what the ASUO Executive Council
and Chairman Daugherty are promising Friday night.
It will be the all-campus and all-Eugene Sports Night, offer
ed for the first time this year. If the evening rolls off as plan
ned, it will be an example of some of the finest cooperation
Oregon has seen this year.
The physical education department, Coach Bowerman, ath
letes, the University band, and students by the dozen are giv
ing time and much work to make the night a success.
Why?
Because the organizers of the night are solidly behind it, and
its purpose. Sports Night was originally planned to raise funds
for the ASUO. It was also planned to give students and towns
people an opportunity to see some of the University’s athletes
and entertainers who are not the professional performers we
hear so much of today.
The money will be used to swell coffers of the Associated
Students, and next year this money will be turned back to the
students in the form of activities or awards.
Oregon’s first Sports Night should be entertaining, colorful,
and worthwhile—an indoor picnic.

Judy and 'Yesterday' at the Heilig;
Mayflower to Show Best Foreign Film
=“»By Don Smith
“Born Yeateruay Tinally will
come to Eugene, opening this
Sunday at the Heilig. The com
edy hit, which stars Judy Holli
day in her academy award-win;
ning role of Billie Dawn, will play
one week downtown, then move
out to the Mayflower for an In
definite engagement. The Heilig
manager exepets the film will
have at least a four or five week
run in Eugene.
The move to t'.ie Mayflower
will have two advantages: One,
the lower price for students; and
two, it will he a single feature
program, the co-feature being
dropped as the comedy moves off
Willamette.
“Born Yesterday,” is a spark
ling comedy that deserves the
phenomenal success it has made
at the box office. Miss Holliday,
as the bleached-blonde ex-chorus
girl from Brookyln, is the movie.
The character she’s created has
not only brought her the academy
award, but the devotion and ap
proval of millions of movie fans.
She’s now a top flight Holly
wood star after being featured
in only two films (“Adam's Rib”
being ttie other one). But Miss
Holliday, who was a night club
entertainer before her stage role
as Billie in the New York legiti
mate of "Born Yesterday," wants
little to do with the Hollywood
hoopla.
She lives in New York, and lias
agreed to come to Hollywood to.
do only one film a year. If the
films are all as good as “Horn
Yesterday," she probably will
have no trouble in keeping her
contract and her devoted funs.
A comparison of the play (pro
duced last fall by the University
Theater) and the movie version
shows that the film, strangely
enough, is faithful to the original.
A few more of the raucous lines
are modified, naturally, but most
of the laughs remain; and the
film has a "sightseeing tour of
Washington that is interesting
without bogging down the pro
gress of the story. In fact, the
Washington tour not only throws
in some swell views of the city,
but allows the characters to get
out of the hotel suite where
most of the action of the film oc
curs.

The Campus Answers
Defending Deferments
Emerald Editor:
A pertinent passage from a
government publication regard
ing deferments reads as follows:
“All exemptions and deferments
are for the benefit of the Govern
ment and not for the benefit of
the individual.”
Therefore, if we are to assume
that the government is created
and maintained for the good and
welfare of the citizens, we should
then ascertain that deferments
and exemptions are granted for
the good of the PEOPLE of the
state.
In your editorial of Tuesday,
you seemed to have totally over
looked this principle.
It should be obvious that we
cannot hope to match a future
enemy man-to-man on the battle
field. We must rely, to a consid
erable extent, to our superiority
in education and know-how to
win a victory.
Therefore, it is essential to the
welfare of THE NATION that
they who are furthering their
knowledge at an institution of
higher education should be al
lowed to continue their studies.
Thusly, as we need to encour
age the continuation of scholas
tic endeavors, why should we not
keep the “A” student in college,
who has displayed a greater ap
titude for higher education or at
least has applied himself better
than the other students, instead
of the “C” student, if all cannot
remain in college ?
The same general principle ap
plies to the aptitude or intelli
gence test. Why shouldn’t we
keep the students with the great
est potential capacities in school,
instead of the more dull?
It would seem to me that the
government, after its investiga
tion of several months, including
the testimony and advice of edu
cational experts, is capable of
reaching a satisfactory conclu
sion. Shall we give them that
much credit, at least?

Olives on Toothpicks
Emerald Editor:
I wish to congratulate the Uni
versity on its change of policy.
Now at last, breaking away from
stuffy methods of advancement,
it has adopted “Progressive Re
gression."
My complaint? Those . . .
those . . . olives on toothpicks
which the administration mis
takenly purchased as street
lights. Kathor would I have
torches bracketed to the sides of
buildings.
These objects dotting the camp
us are definitely not in tune with
the building program now being
carried out by the University. In
my opinion these lights ate relics
of the past exhumed for our dis
comfort.
These lights may protect the
women at night, but what is to
protect me from the lamps in the
daylight?

Incidentally, I take back those
congratulations offered to the

a lousy feature for the Kefauvcr
case. The Mac, ufter It got the
Kefauvcr ease, simply retained
"Revenue Agent” the co-feature
with "The Mating Season." This
made an evening of the movies
