Were Tired of It
This is going just a bit too far—this business of raising
money by and for activities.
‘ Tonight, women in Carson and Hendrick's halls will have to
pay the YWCA 10 cents if they want to eat dessert. They paid
a rather formidable board bill this month and assumed this
gave them the right to eat dessert for dinner any time they
wanted to.
Now the YWCA international affairs commission asks
. them to pay 10 cents extra for dessert. We don't like it. The
proceeds will go for aid to refugees in Hong Kong—a worthy
cause. And we wouldn't mind giving a dime. But we don’t
like to see people charged for something they’ve already
paid for.
Are the dorms the only ones “assessed" the extra dime? If
so, why?
This is just another example of the desperate scramble for
fdnds being made by every activity on this campus. We’re
getting awfully tired of it.—(JAV.)

| Letters to the Eiutor
Answer to Chimes
Emerald Editor:
We read your comment on our
' letter of objection regarding
chimes in the SU. We appreci
ate your prompt reply, but at
the same time we feel that you
left our inquiries unanswered,
' especially those on the subject
of “unanimous approvals.” You
proceeded to discredit our main
. reasons (successfully, we feel)
and in the process fell ;nto ques
tionable personal opinion and
neglected entirely to give any
good reasons as to just why we _
should have chimes.
In passing, we would like to
call attention to a few of your
puzzling statements. w
“You have just as much c
right to object to it (referring n
• to the area around the Oriental t<
Art museum) as you do to f;
chimes, but, as a Student, I i;
think it's a little out of your S'
jurisdiction.” a
It seems to us that the mean- i<
ing of this statement is obscure.
■ If we are to take it to mean that, e
as students, it is a little out of c
our jurisdiction to control such A
. campus decisions, then we agree p
. with you. As a matter of fact, we q
stated in our letter that we real- b
ized . . the senate’s judgement, n
in other words, student opinion, u
would not affect the SU’s decis- c:
ion of the chimes idea one wSLy
* or the other.” a
If, on the other hand, you af- o
firm our right to object in the
first part of your sentence, and (
deny it in the last portion by say- b
ing it is a little out of our juris- p
diction to object on such matters, l<
then our points of view differ h
basically. We maintain that, as u
students, we have the right to a
* comment favorably or unfavor- l
ably on those actions which af- o
feet us and our university. s<
“Chimes are neither neces
sary nor greatly to be desired. A
That is one man’s opinion.” d
This claim can be reversed eas- is
' ily to fit your case, also. As to A
' the meaning of your state- A
ment, we doubt if you actually s:
believe that this is one man’s g
opinion since our letter was b
obviously written in the plur- A
al. However, if you honestly a
- feel that ft is just a small min- tl
ority which is objecting to tl
chimes, you could request c
other student reactions. w
Another point which we would “
• like to question is this: “You T
even go so far as to suggest a A
. campus chapel. Weren’t you the ti
one concerned . in the beginning
with what was called ‘an appal
ling waste of money?”
If you would like to clear up
something for us, we would ap
preciate hearing some good, con
structive reasons for chimes
themselves as compared with our
ideas as to what could have been
done with this money. Lastly,
if you are confused at any point
in our objections, we can only
refer you to our letter of Feb. 8
for the complete statement of our
point of view.

Emerald Editor:
During these trying times of
hether-or-not we should have
impus chimes and is it or is it
at sportish to Boo an opposing
:am-member making overtures to
ime via a freeshot, I wish to
iise a similar hue as to the sub
;rviance of this University or cf
ay other-, institution of higher
arning to a foreign state.
The law here is clear. With the
tception of foreign language
asses, no other language than
mericanese may be used in a
ublic school classroom. And to
note the University of Oregon
illetin (page 62) “An alien can
at begin to establish residence
atil he has obtained his first
tizenship papers.”
One must ask oneself, “If we
e to attain the eventual position
f love for Alma Mater, Team
spirit, wholesomeness of mind
md again a quote from the UO
illetin page 63, “The University
rovides help with personal prob
ms”) and mental enrichment,
aw can it be done when all about
3 are the distracting elements of
aother nation’s culture?” Aa L.
. Schmeed, part time excheuquer
' the Student Union Ink supply,
) aptly put it, “We cannot!”
The obvious recommendation to
ssociated and Disassociative Stu
ants of the University of Oregon
to use the $1900 surplus for the
dvancement of the Interest of
merican Culture on the Univer
ty of Oregon campus. This or
anization, which is not it must
a admitted, yet recognized by the
SUO senate (which, it might be
Jded will carr^ a lot of votes in
le spring elections) could use
lis addition to its treasury to
aver the now existing infamy
ith a wrought iron seal saying
University of Oregon, 1876, Don’t
read On Me,” which is entirely
mericfyn and much more func
onal during Traditions Week.

There are just a couple of
things that I'm curious about. I
want to know why girls call each
other ‘‘you guys.” It just doesn't
make sense.
And how is it that places sell
the second cup of coffee for a
nickel when the first cup cost a
dime. If they sell the second cup
for a nickel, why can’t they sell
the first cup for a nickel. Or
should I take more econ ?
I’d like to know why the girls,
when it’s raining, wear both a
scarf and a hat. It looks screwy.
If the hat ain’t big enough, why
dont they get bigger hats. If the
scarf doesn’t keep the hair dry,
why not get a
water proof
scarf. Or why
wear one in
the first
place.

"Oh, My Pa-Pa.” Have you ever
listened to the lyrics real closely ?
Why is it that cigarettes cost
eighteen cents at the Student
Union when they cost nineteen
cents at the Co-op? You know,
cigarettes, competitive monopoly
and all that.
I guess it’s too late to stop
these twenty four electronic bells
being placed atop the SU (of all
places!) unless someone blows up
the SU first. Someone whose
name I can’t remember said he’d
go along with this idea until
awakened at eight o’clock in the
morning. What an utterly fan
tastic hour. Well, anyway, he’d
said just about the time that
this started the University would
be looking for it’s bells. That
makes two of us so far. Anyone
want to help?
As long as we’re on chimes I
might subgest the playing of
“March of the Little Toy Sol
diers” at ROTC drill time.
I guess you could really get a
list together. Someone asked how
they got the doughnuts stale so
fast in the SU. That’s a good
question. Maybe they’re made
stale. Anyway, they make good
quoits.
Award of the Week goes to
the sharp-eyed lassies of Carson
Hall who mt things at hours
when they should lx- fast asli-rp.
And why Is it that people carry
books to class with them. I dtfnt
know, just seems to he a lot of
wasted effort.
Back again to prices, how docs
it work that matches are a penny
a book at the SU, but two for a
penny at the Co-op?
