Champions—Thrice Over
Congratulations, Oregon.
It’s not every day a school walks off with three different
Northern division championships in one weekend. We’d like
to extend our congratulations to the members and coaches of
Oregon’s baseball, track and golf teams for the championship
showings they made this weekend.
It takes hard work, spirit and a will to win to make a cham
pionship team. And Oregon seems to have it—three times
over. Congratulations for your outstanding performance,
teams.
Economy or What?
It was hot in tire Carson hall dining room—terribly hot—and
the room was full of people. Some of those people had waited
•45 minutes before getting through the line that seemed endless.
We wonder if any aconomy move is worth the discomfort
dormitory residents went through Sunday.
The John Straub dining room was closed Saturday and Sun
day. All the men from the Vets' dorms and Straub ate in Car
son both days. And let's face it, there just aren’t enough facili
ties in Carson to feed all those men, plus the regular number
of women residents of Carson.
It was done, reportedly, to save money since many students
-would be going home for the weekend. This sounds plausable
and reasonable—that is it does until you stop to think about the
weekend.
How many students go home the weekend after Junior Week
end? Especially when that weekend is also the one before Me
morial day and only two weeks before final week. People have
to study sometime—this was a good weekend to do it. Saturday
the Northern Division championship baseball game was played
here. Probably wouldn’t affect the women much, but how many
men are going home with a game like that scheduled?
We’re not blaming the Carson kitchen crew at all. Far from
it. They did a marvelous job getting people through the line
as fast as they did. Both the student and professional employees
worked at top speed from the time the line opened at 1 p.m.
until long after it closed at 2:10.
The line stretched into the Carson living roopi and doubled
hack into the lobby when the dining room opened at 1 o'clock.
It reached into the living room until 2:00, and it was moving
Tapidly for the entire hour. Regular closing time is 1 :45 on
Sundays—at 1 :45 it looked as though the line would go on for
ever.
Only fast work on the part of the Carson kitchen crew kept
enough tables cleared so that people didn’t have to wait to
sit down. And they didn’t run out of food—something the
people at the line’s end were worried about.
Dormitory residents are mad—and for good reason! Lines
are to be expected in any cafeteria arrangement, but the lines
this weekend were unreasonable. Saving money is an admirable
thing too, but the attempt this weekend was overdone. (J.W.)
Ring Out the Old
The chimes are here !
The “liberty bell’ tones of the chimes atop the Student Union
rang out across the campus Saturday.
We do not wish to be bitter in face of defeat of Emerald
efforts last fall to nullify official decision to place chimes in
the SU. Perhaps a place for chimes will be found on this cam
pus and other generations of Oregon students will carry
away the toll of the bells among their fondest collegiate mem
ories.
But we cannot find the heart to say the chimes sound better
ringing out from the top of the Union than we thought they
would. As a matter of fact, they sound worse. We hope the
-quality of the music they provide will be improved by tuning,
or whatever one does to chimes, before they are used as back
ground for any sober commencement-procession, as proposed
by supporters of the chimes.
We know there are people who like the idea of chimes and
see nothing ironical about their peal echoing out from the starkly
knodem surroundings of the SU. And those of us who have
opposed chimes are already accepting them, at least with humor.
For instance, one student expressed the hope that the chimes
would be set to ring 10 minutes before the hour—to remind
a favorite instructor of his that the bell really meant dismissal
and the end of a lecture.
We can only extend our sympathies to the residents of Straub.
It’s not enough that they have a construction job hammering
away behind Straub during the day, when perhaps a few hall
members are attempting to study. Now they have chime music
ringing out at odd hours from the other side.
