A Little More Thought
We're glad to see the SU Board has decided to table the pro
posal to drop the ASUO senate-SU board screening committee.
It’s a proposal that could use a little more thought.
We appreciate the board’s desire to improve the present
' jmethod of selecting members. Board members now are screen
. ed by the joint committee and the entire board has r.o say in
, £ujai'nrembership selection.
We agree that senate members aren’t particularly quali
! fied to select board members, except as elected representa
1* tives of Oregon students. It adds a democratic element we’d
i, like ..to. see retained.
" . The argument that the board shouldn’t be mixed up in poli
tics sounds a little thin. After all, politics, despite the smudge
.* Continually inferred, is the basis upon which our own democra
tic government functions. It is the method which this country
• has developed to select its leaders and provide some type of
. representation of the people in that leadership.
v- The SU program has had some pretty far reaching effects
•: on campus life here at Oregon. You could hardly set such a
complete program of events and activities in the middle of a
- campus, population 4000, without expecting quite a revolution
• in campus life. The board program utilizes some 150 students.
Every activity they promote effects membership and atten
dance of every other activity in an already overcrowded
campus schedule.
That is why we are praticularly concerned with any move
jwhich might limit the board’s contact with other student
groups. If anything, the program the SU offers at present in
. <dicate.s that more, not less, contact with students is needed.
Tribute To Service
The University of Oregon has lost a great deal-in losing Dick
^Williams_
He has been with the University for 13 years, every since his
’ graduation from the school of journalism in 1941. Until 1948,
Dick was manager of the Educational Activities board which
.-controls distribution of the educational activity fee, now $25 of
the tuition every University student pays.
. • He then assumed his present duties as director of the Erb
Memorial Union.
The Union stands in the center of campus—stark, modern
architecture in which the life of the University ebbs and flows.
It was Dick’s dream and he did much to realize that dream.
He has faced the problems growing out of the development
of the building with his chin up, his mind open and his work the
Student Union. He has met most of those problems.
Dick is a man of action. He has stepped on a lot of toes in
13 years. He is not the kind of man to whom we can say, “So
long, Dick, it’s been good to know you,” and let it go at that.
But we don’t really have to say anything about Dick. He’s
made his mistakes. No man that wants and gets action wins
a popularity contest. But the Student Union stands as a tribute
to Dick’s 13 years of service to the University.
In this age of men willing to compromise and change their
definition of ‘right,’ it’s rather refreshing to have known a man
like: Dick Williams.

Fair Judgement
“Oh, Snarf Isn’t such a bad teacher—I had his course almost two
weeks before I dropped It.”
Letters to the] Editor
Thunder Disgusting
To the Editor:
In the previous games played
in Mac court one cannot help
but feel disgusted as he hears
the rowdy and ferocious bellows,
growls, and what not, thunder
ed by his ears. It isn’t so bad
when our team has the upper
hand, but when the visiting play
ers prove themselves the masters
of the court, we make accusa
tions concerning the legality of
the relationship between the par
ents of the referee when he pen
alizes our team.
When a visiting player trips
and falls on top of one of ours,
we roar at him like hungry lions;
then boo and shoo him, etc. as
he attempts a free throw.
On the other hand, when one
of our boys rushes over to his
opponent threateningly, with
fists clenched and cocked, we
yell out encouragingly, “go
- kill" “kick the son and son on
the so and so.” Sometimes the
confused referee would penal
ize the visiting team unjustly
(to make up for the previous
error for which he was booed)
but hardly any disparaging re
mark is heard except the muf
fle of turning necks and the
strange sound of guilty chuck
les.
We praise our boys when they
show extreme aggressiveness on
the court, when they can elbow
their way through the opposition.
Yet nothing in the books seems
to say that we should tolerate
the same treatment when given
to us. The referee is an outcast
from the human race when he
makes wrong decisions against
us, but we are indifferent when
the same decisions are rendered
against others.
We show some civility (if it is
civility) when the odds are ob
viously in our favor, but the ref
eree and the visiting team be
come the inhuman and hated
enemy when the odds are against
us.
The most irritating part of
Saturday Last Day
For Pledging Men
Saturday is the last day on
vhich men’s pledging may take
>lace this term, according to Ray
lawk, director of men’s affairs.
All rushees whc have not sign
;d up to pledge must do so by
loon on Saturday in the office of
itudent affairs. A member of the
louse being pledged must accom
>any the rushee to sign the offic
al pledge card.

It, after all the childish baf
foonery, la when we burnt out
singing: our Alma Mater with
water in our eyes. Some would
say this Is loyalty at its height.
I call ft infantile emotionalism.
Why do we Insist on winning?
The lower animals’ sole prin
ciple of life is "kill or be kill
ed.” 1 conceive of myself a
shade above them and capable
of better attitudes than this
savagery.
Basketball, like many other
games, is an art and should be
enjoyed as such. Give every play
er on the court due praise for
his ability and sportsmanship,
whether he is one f our boys or
a member of the visiting team.
There are enough nerve-wreck
ing competitive activities in our
society that make us uncomfort
able. Why watch basketball if it
increases the degree of tension
and anxiety? The ulcer problem
is already a menace.

Felt Proud
The Drake
to hear that his favorite flock
of Webfoots had stolen the show
at the basketball pond. There
were, of course, some irate beav
ers whose screams were heard
clear up to the Portland Ore
gonian. Then the cougars came
and somewhat soothed the beav
er’s jangled nerves.
The drake’s feelings were still
high when he saw the division
standings so with a ducky
chuckle he handed his boy a bill
and said, “here son, why not go
quack it up a bit.” The duck,
knowing where he could always
get in some good quacks, headed

•JAZZABONE. This week we're
concentrating on jazz. If you’re
a jazz fan, of course you’ve
heard of Leadbelly. He is ac
claimed as one of the most tal
ented folk artists in the world
today.
Self taught and pitifully un
appreciated by the masses, Lead
belly has sung and strummed his
way to freedom from peniten
tiaries in Louisiana and Texas.
He has been heard by a few who
really appreciate realistic Amer
icana and now he's in the Clas
sics in Jazz secies.
In a world of banal songs and
freakish sounds, the purity of
Leadbelly’s memorable music is
gradually becoming a legend.
Now you too can hear LEAD
BELLY in our CLASSICS IN
JAZZ series.
Remember the carload of ukes
we got in last week ? Serenade
your fair lady with a uke. She
may toss a flower-pot your w»ay,
but you can't be a hit without a
uke. "Hold that Tiger!" These
are beautifully designed Lisa
Hawaiian Ukcleles with a deep
rich tone and a two-tone black
and 'ivory finish. They stay in
tune. A bargain at $2.98.
If you like South American
shaker music there’s a slightly
| new and terrific number called
; "Tiempo de Cencerro" by the
I GEORGE SHEARING QUIN
j TET. The latest release on MOM.
Tickets for the George Shear
ing pej-formanee in Eugene may

This week we would like to
! call your attention to the south
west corner of our establish
i rnent,, the art department. We
are very proud of our culture
section. There behind another
stack of those infamous Arthur
Godfrey specials you will find
we are featuring INEXPEN
SIVE COLOR PRINTS by the
