-By the Editors -- News of the Week in Review The week of Junior Weekend was jammed full of news, the biggest of which for most students was Jun ior Weekend itself the Canoe Fete, the All-Campus Sing, the Mothers’ Breakfast, the awards luncheon and a visit with Mom. It all seemed to go without a hitch, except of course for the rain which moved the luncheon inside, to Me Arthur Court, for the first time in several years. There were the usual complaints about the slow pace of the Canoe Fete, of the tappings during the luncheon and even of the All-Campus Sing. But the crowds seemed bigger than ever, and they had to close the gates at the Canoe Fete, even with people standing four and five abreast along the bank in front of the stands. But despite the smoothness which characterized the events and even despite the huge crowds, for some it was. a time of questioning. The sign in the special events office on the third floor of the Student Union must have summed it up best, “Canoe Fete Isn’t an activity, it’s a a way of life." Maybe the individual who wrote the sign didn’t realize what he was saying, and maybe he did. But we are sure that some of the seniors who have seen four years of student effort on the Fete and the Sing, who have seen hours and hours and hours of student time go into each float, into each of the 31 song teams which competed to get into the finals, and into the or ganization and administration of the weekend itself must have questioned the educational utility of the weekend, perhaps even questioned its very existence. But if you didn’t have Junior Weekend, what about Homecoming? And if you didn't have Junior Weekend and Homecoming, Dad's Weekend would have to go, wouldn't it? And if you didn't have Junior Weekend and Homecoming and Dad's Weekend, how would you decide who was to be selected for the honoraries? And how could our students learn to become effective ad ministrators and organization men? Gosh, maybe it is a way of life. Maybe there were also a few small voices who were beginning to question that way of University life. New Constitution The ASUO Senate finally began to move toward a revised constitntion this past week. Several motions re garding representation and elections passed the Senate Thursday night and will be referred to the student body in a general election now set for May 21. Long-awaited revisions in this out-dated document, will, we are sure, be accepted by the general student body. However, some have questioned the wisdom of revising it one part at a time. The constitutional com mittee, appointed by ASUO President Phil Sherburne, feels that the part concerning elections should be passed this Spring since it will take effect next year. The other parts to be revised are not so concerned with timing of events like elections. Campsite or Classrooms The Student Development Drive for a campsite for recreational and educational facilities fell short of its goal according to reports Thursday. .Some in the recreational area greeted the news with dismay, blaming the psychological effect of tuition rais es, tight-fisted students, or the feeling on the part of students that a good camp could not be established through such a drive. Others, with perhaps a little more insight, pointed the finger at the project itself. A camp, primarily for recreational purposes which would require much more of student monies than could be provided by just this one drive seemed to many unnecessary. To others, it seemed obviously contradictory to the pleas now being made by the State Board of Higher Education for build ing facilities for academic purposes. Why spend a large chunk of student monies for such a project, they reasoned, when it looks as if the University will be in dire need of such funds for more valid purposes, such as the construction of classrooms. Final figures have not been released for the drive as of yet. We would hate to see the failure of this drive doom such drives for the future. For with a purpose more in line with an educational institution, the drive could be quite beneficial. Former ASUO President Neil Goldschmidt, has, in the past, talked about the possi bility of such a drive, endowing a faculty chair. To many, such a drive would be much more in line with the financial squeeze the University may well find itself in after the legislature adjourns this year. Only Seven Somewhat quietly, seven students petitioned for dele gates to NSA, the National Student Conference to be held in Bloomington, Indiana this summer. Five will be elected. The small number was disappointing to many, prn marily because it was hoped that a highly competitive election would make University students more respon sible to their constituents on national and international matters that come before the Congress. However, if the delegates are effective, their main function this first year win be to report back to the University with an objective evaluation of the merits of the organization for this associated student body. -This Week’s Lectures and Cultural Events May 12 through May IK Monday 8 00 pm. — Student Recital: Maryann English, Sandra Lynch, Terry Kuhn, auditorium, Music School Tuesday 7 30 p m — Recorded Classics Concert: Music on the Lighter Side, SU. 8:00 pm. — Assembly: Ballad concert, Berre Toelkin, UO Kng lish, and Joan O'Bryant, U of Wichita, SU.

PORTER’S for EUROPEAN PICNIC-SUPPLIES 270 West 8th “The most Fascinating Food Store In The Northwest” drawn from the business and aca demic worlds It is financed by fees from participating U S. com panies which are handled through AIESEC-U.S., Inc., a New York non-profit membership corpora tion. THE INTERNATIONAL organ ization, formed in 1948 by stu dents in eseven European coun tries, today embraces 38 coun tries on five continents and has provided almost 20,000 exchange traineeships. The program offers a student an opportunity for six weeks to six months to observe at first hand a foreign country's econo mic system in action. It offers re muneration sufficient to cover liv ing and incidental expenses. A total of 260 students across the United States were selected for participation in the program this summer. VANISHING AMERICAN? For the sake of your future and the future of your coun try, let’s fervently hope not! But the sad fact is that too many gifted teachers are leav ing our colleges for better paying positions. The cause is fundamental. They simply cannot make ends meet on their present low sal aries. And, much as they love their work, they are forced to seek jobs in other fields. In the face of this discour aging trend, more classrooms keep getting more crowded. And by 1967, college applica tions are expected to double. It’s time to put a stop to this nonsense. Won’t you help? Help the college of your choice wow. The returns will be greater than you think.

From the radio at least. In fact, the whole dam Capitol album, “Campus Confidential" by the Four Preps, has been banned. “She Was Only the Dean of Men's Daughter" and the other numbers, like “Prin cess Poo-poo-ly Has Plenty Papaya” are just a little too., • well, colorful for air play. This album was recorded dur ing a Four Preps Concert at UCLA. Their performance was wildly appreciated by the stu dents, and we strongly suspect it will be wildly appreciated by everyone who hears it on this new Capitol release. (With the sole exception of radio station owners who want to keep their stations on the air.) So slip into your nearest rec ord store for “Campus Confi dential" on Capitol. (In plain brown wrapper, of course.) (P. S. Look for the Four Preps in concert on your campus.) ccaWmtiAL THB POOR PREPS. Recorded L<v®j£- to Concoct L
