Lines Decrease Vote After watching lines form at the Co-op polling booth and in Commonwealth square between classes all day \\ ednesday, •we wonder if the senate might reconsider the feasibility of placing another voting booth in that general area to catch stu dents between classes. Most students have a minute between classes when it would be most convenient to vote and it seems as though the senate should be considering every convenience of the voter in an effort to raise the traditionally light balloting in stu dent elections. The Student Union booth and the one at the Co-op garner ed the most votes. We wonder if any additional booth in the general area of 13th street might have increased voting. Lines aren't one of our most favorite means of entertainment. We think any effort to cut down on voting lines would increase balloting in a future election. And it would certainly make it ^easier for the student who does want to vote but dislikes said lines. Ivy Covered Halls We didn't believe it could ever happen. But IVY is actually growing on the walls of the Student Union. There's one brave, adventuresome bit of the plant that Is pushing up little tentacles of green in the corner of the west side of the Union, outside and to the left of the Tom Taylor lounge. Ivy has some traditional connection with the halls of know ledge. And Deady and Villard halls wear their mantles of green with dignity and age. Those ivy-covered halls are a tradition on the University campus. Somehow, though, it seems rather presumtuous, almost sac rilegious, for that little plant to spread itself over the walls and the modern architecture of the Erb Memorial Union. Or perhaps it's only that the progress that bit of ivy is mak ing up those brick walls is a sad reminder of our advancing age and the swift decline of our status as a collegian. We can visualize it all fifty years hence, when we return to this campus as silver-haired, dignified, and perhaps suc cessful, aUims. An ivy-covered SU! “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ...” and even the newness, the starkness, the clean, hard lines of the Union will succomb slow ly to age and ivy.

T — -A It ay at the Zoo The Sinner's Graduation (Ed. Note: Burled In the Em erald files of past years, are many literary "gfm*,” lost to posterity. We think ‘‘The Sinner’s Gradua tion" which ran ill the 1U32-5H Emerald Is such a “gem" In col legiate- satirical writing. So, for all those Funk fans who have enjoyed this column before and for those students who missed it in last spring's Emerald, we present Boh Funk's "The Sinner's Graduation." Being spring term again and all, we think the col umn is more than appropriate.) • • • by Bob Funk Emarald Columnist Once in a damp but otherwise rather pleasant forest located somewhat south of Highway 99, assortment of anim als, in eluding a large, fury animal called an Admininis t ration; a small un combed a n imal classified as an Under graduate, and a strange belliger ant animal known as the Sinner. The Sinner had originally been known as the Senior; time and reputation had altered the word. These three animals lived in t more or less neighborly fa shion, grubbing about under stones and logs for small mor sels of Knowledge and Good times, which comprised their diet. If one could have chosen which of the animals one was to be, one would have rhosen to be the Administration. The Administration was the largest and furriest, and was usually thought of as Boss. Certainly one would never have chosen to be the Undergraduate; not if one had ever seen the Un dergraduate, even from a dis tance. And probably one would not have chosen to be the Sinner. The Sinner was a great problem to everyone, everyone being the other two animals. At first, ev eryone tried not to notice the strange way the Sinner was act ing, outrageous as it was. To be gin with, the Sinner began refus ing to do its Part. Just what one's Part was in this forest no one quite knew, but everyone did agree that one should do one's Part. One morning the Sinner refused to get up at seven. At ten, it said a bad word to the Undergraduate, who attempted to rouse it. At one p.m., it snamnira over to where the Administra tion and the Undergraduate were just finishing off a really niee snack of Knowledge and Good Times which they had gathered, and complained about there not being anything to eat. “The early bird gets the Knowledge,-" remonstrated the Administration, gently. “Early to bed and early to rise,” began the Undergraduate obnoxiously, but before it could finish the Sinner took its paw and shoved it into the Under graduate's mouth. It was quite impolite. Later that week the Sinner had some shattering experience with the opposite sex, and the Undergraduate and the Admin istration began to find empty brown bottles strewn about, la beled “Heart-balm.” On Satur day night the Sinner sat up all night, carousing, surrounded by bottles of Heart-balm, singing what only the Sinner could have though was a song. Finally, it became Too Much for everyone. The Undergradu ate and the Administration had a board meeting and the Administration, as chairman of the bourn, appointed it sou a Standing Committee to Inves tigate the rnfort iiniite Be havior of the Sinner, and lie port Tomorrow. There win an- | other board meeting Tomor row, whleh was as It happened the next day. When the meeting got h.h far i ns Committee Reports the Ad- j ministration rose grandly. The j Undergraduate clapped. “I have been considering this matter very seriously," said the Administration. "Hear, hear!" shouted the Un dergraduate enthusiast truly. “And I recommend to this body that it is time to get rtd of er, encourage the Sinner to go Elsewhere." Aral at this time the Undergraduate gave the Admin istration a Standing Ovation, which fairly shixik the forest. "Therefore, a» chairman <»f thin comm.'ttce I move that the Sinner t>e given a Diploma, tn lieu of an invitation to Green l’intuivs.” And after the Un dergraduate and the Adminis tration had passed the motion, and had had u small parade around a tree, the Administra tion sat down and scrawled "B.A." on a piece of bark with its toenail. That night, the Administra tion and the Undergraduate ap proached the Sinner, who was just about to open another bot tle of Heart-balm, and presented it with the Diploma. The Sinner looked at it. upside down, and after coughing politely the Ad-j ministration read it to the Sin- j ner, and gave a short speech on its Significance. A strange light came into the Sinner’s eyes, and for a moment ’ it looked almost pleasant. Then, j carrying the bottle of Heart balm in its teeth, it walked out of the forest toward San Fran cisco. Tho Undergraduate and the Administration accompanied it to the edge of the forest, whistling "Pomp and Circum stance." After that, everything was different. Everyone (everyone till just two), did his Part. No one sat around all night ca rousing and drinking Ileart bnlm. No one got up at noon and wondered why all the Knowledges were eaten. But for all that, it was rath er lonely. The Undergraduate went to visit the Administration, and on weekends the Administra tion went to visit the Under graduate; and they had parties, of a sort. But on quiet evenings the Administration would wan der to the road, and look sadly down toward San Francisco, and wonder, and the Undergraduate would climb a particularly tall tree from which he thought he could see the lights of San Francisco (it was really only Drain) and he would wonder too. And every once in a while they would get together and have just a small sip of Heart-balm, in re membrance of the Sinner, B.A. Two on Art Faculty Re-elected by OAA Two faculty members of the a ; j and architecture school were eli ted officers of the Oregon Art a: liunce at the group's annual *pn> meeting.
