Death In Midstream?
A couple of weeks ago we said that we would like to see it
cjearly established as to whether or not the student court is
afcting contrary to law by fining students for traffic violations.
* That is the overall basis upon which we think this tempest
10 a teaport should be judged, even if it is taking the matter
liore seriously than the original “defendant” is doing. (Poten
tially, it is important. As far as it has gone, it is much ado about
riot an awful lot.)
But, within that framework, and until such establishment
should be realized, time (and the student court) marches on.
[We agree that the court (which it admittedly isn’t) has the
right to deny counsel (which, technically, J. Kelly Farris
' admittedly isn’t) to speak for traffic violators in the court’s
sessions. /
1 This was the ruling of Court Chairman Carl Weber in last
jweek’s session, when Farris, senior in law and the original de
fendant in this harassment of the court, was prepared to speak
for 14 students who he said wished him to represent them.
[(They were not present that night).
As Weber pointed out, the student court is not really a
court; it is an administrative agent of the student-faculty dis
cipline committee, and of the office of student affairs (for traf
fic violations). Its student superior, of course, is the ASUO
senate.
Farris has come up with another argument, designed to
■knock down the one of the University and the court which
states that the authorityfor the court’s power comes from
the discipline committee, which receives the discipline auth
ority of the University from the president arid ultimately
-from the state board of hgher education.
Quoting Oregon Compiled Laws, Annotated, Farris says that
tire delegation of discipline power from the state legislature to
the University faculty is immediate, which means, he says,
that the faculty can delegate.it no further.
Farris says he can do no more for the 14 students, and will do
so more in his own case unless the University tries to deduct
the money from his breakage fee. Of course, when a student
appeals the fine of the court to the office of student affairs, his
ease becomes a discipline matter, and will not be handled
[through such a deduction.
>. If Farris is willing to carry his case through until a clarifi
cation of the court’s legality or illegality results (which, we
admit, is a huge task), and if the University is wiling to obtain
such a clarification, then we feel something really valuable
world result from this matter. If not, (and we think not, in both
eases) then the whole thing seems to be dying in mid-stream
and nobody has benefitted.
. In thjs case, we think, half a loaf is not very nourishing.

Rally Girls
Emerald Editor:
Regarding the editorial in the
November 6th Emerald concern
ing Oregon “unaensational song
queens” we would like to make
known some comments we heard
by the radio commentator who
broadcast the Oregon-Cal game.
This commentator spoke
highly of the spirit and origin
ality displayed by the rally
girls. He was also Impressed
that they yelled at the right
times—times when the team
most needed moral support
from the rooting section.
We think it is high time oui
song queens received well de
served praise such as this. And
to them we say, keep up the fine
work, we’re behind you all the
way.
