Consequences?
It is with regret that we learned of the resignation of Donna
Buse as program director of the Student Union. Miss Buse has
been with the Student Union for two years. She is a capable
worker, on excellent terms with the students and other Univer
sity personnel with whom she works, and has been more than
adequately filling a necessary and important position on our
campus.
Handling the extensive program of our Student Union is a
job which calls for such qualifications. It is also a job which
needs the personal direction and the full time of such a qual
ified person.
We do not feel the program direction can be adequately
handled by an SU director, who must also be concerned with
all the physical maintenance and other facets of the union pro
gram.
And for that reason we are concerned with the implications of
this second resignation from the tpo personnel of the SU. Dick
[Williams resigned as SU director on Jan. 31.
Our Student Union has maintained a national reputation for
its program and the facilities available there for the use of
University students.
We hope qualified people will be available to President Wil
son and that these two vacancies will not mar the excellent
program now being produced by the SU staff.
A Sensible Decision
The ASUO will have only one secretary from now on. We'd
like to congratulate the senate on a very sensible decision.
In the past the ASUO has hired a student to serve as the
•president’s secretary and receptionist. For this she received
~§250 a year—quite a sizeable salary.
The president’s secretary didn't have to attend senate
meetings. The senate elected one of its members to take min
utes of the proceedings, type them and give them to the
president’s secretary for mimeographing.
A rather complicated process, with two secretaries doing the
job one could handle very nicely.
Besides paying $250 for one secretary the senate was hurt by
having one of its members virtually out of the discussions. A
senator taking minutes just doesn't have time to debate issues,
•she’s too busy.
Last Thursday the senate unanimously approved a motion
by senior class representative Kitty Fraser to do away with
the senator-secretary arrangement. Now the president’s sec- ’
tetary will take minutes of the senate meetings.
We think it’s an excellent move in the direction of cutting
heedless expense. With the decreased enrollment all activities
are facing we -would advise more of them to follow the senate’s
lead. A bit of careful planning can save some money for almost
any group.
Nice going, senators.—(J.W.)

Letters to the] Editor
Campus Felony
Emerald Editor:
THEFT AGAIN: Again our
theme has been stolen by the
“Junior Weekend” committee. At
first we were wont to Ignore this
very churlish deed, but since
someone named “Light" who
styles himself General Chairman
of Junior Weekend, has printed a
scurrilous "clarification,” we
must make it clear that the
theme was stolen from the law
school weekend theme, as us
ual. What he says is an obvious
prevarication.
Our theme this year is the
very Stylish and clever “Sem
inary Shenanigans.” We select
ed it ut the beginning of winter
term, and did our utmost to
conceal it from interlopers and
prying eyes. Obviously we did
not succeed, is-cause someone
of the Junior Weekend commit
tee learned, we know not how,
that our theme was hidden
deep in the vaults of the law
school library, in volume 117
of the English Veprlnts. Since
this is a report of the Court
of Chancery in 1617, only n
very accomplished knave and
s( oundrel would consider look
ing there. At any rate, the
theme was stolen from us, and
copied, and a very' poor copy
it is:
We recognize that we have not
been very grieviously injured by
this burglarizing, because the
Junior Weekend theme suffers
greatly by comparison with our
very tasteful and significant
theme, “Seminary Shenanigans."
“Campus Capers” is obviously an
ill-conceived child of our charm
ing theme. But we do protest the
copying, year after year, of our
themes.
For example, in 1952 our
theme was the very clever “Pre
Pubescent Ponderings,” and the
Junior Weekend theme was the
bungled forgery of "Childhood
Memories.” In 1953 our delightful
theme was “Hollis Days,” while
the rather dull and uninteresting
“Holidays' was soon thereafter
announced as the Junior Week
end theme. Now it is apparent
that "Campus Capers” was stol
en from our fine theme, "Semi-,
nary Shenanigans.”
I might suggest that what
this erstwhile committee has
been doing for the last few
years is more like a “Campus
Felony’ than a “Campus Cap
er.” We demand an immediate
apology from this person “Jim
Light” (obviously a pseudo
nym—John Doe Is more often
used), and suggest that the
Weekend theme be changed to
“Burglars Bounce” or the like.

IFC Slate
Announced
Either Andy Berwick, Beta
Theta Pi, or Pete Williams, Phi
Delta Theta, will be the next pres
ident of the Inter-fraternity coun
cil. The group’s election will be
April 15.
Also on the IFC ballot are Ward
Cook, Beta, and Don Rotenberg,
Sigma Alpha Mu, running for vice
president. Wes Nash, Tau Kappa
Epsilon, and Bob Pollack, Sigma
Chi, are candidates for secretary
treasurer.
Ray Hawk, director of men's af
fairs, told IFC members that bur
glaries at the Delta Upsilon and
Delta Tau Delta houses over
Homecoming weekend have been
solved.
Members of the two houses lost
articles of clothing. Hawk said the
burglars entered the houses dur
ing' the weekend, put on the
clothes and walked out with
guests present at that time. He
did not say who the burglars were.
Members of the houses were
asked to submit a list of missing
clothing to Hawk’s office. Many of
the stolen items have been return
ed.
Defensive View
Emerald Editor:
As to the editorial In the paper
of April 1, concerning the soror
ity picnic:
From your defensive view, 1
gather that you are afraid some
one has tried to attack you for
your informing news article. If
so, fine!
True, a newspaper must
print the facts, but sometimes
the circumstances require a
newspaper to use discretion.
Your editorial mentioned that
"parents and critics of the Uni
versity have a habit of noticing
such charges.” If this is true,
why didn't the Oregonian print
the names and the name of the
sorority? If the Emerald wants
to call the attention of our par
ents to our misconduct, why
shouldn't the state newspapers
also, as those papers are read
mostly by our parents.
Beer parties, of course,
should be discouraged. Also,
since the violators were all
over 1H, It Is possibly necessary
to publish their names because
they all knew what they were
doing when they embarked
upon the escapade. But, I do
think it was not Important to
print the name of the sorority.
After all, this sorority Is a res
pectable national organization.
If the girls hadn’t been inex
perienced, they wouldn’t have
been caught.
Is the Emerald on the way
towards becoming a scandal
sheet ?
Until Martin
Kwama Passes Out

drive will be distributed to living
