Democracy in the Student Body
In the last issue of the Emerald it
was announced that a movement was
on foot to institute, a series of monthly
dances, the purpose of which is to main
tain the spirit of democracy which has
characterized the University in the past.
I his is a movement long delayed and
so important that it should lie overlook
ed no longer. Whether it be by means
of dances, parties or any entertainment
whatsoever, in some way this spirit
must be fostered.
I here is nothing which will disrupt
the college organization more, which
will undermine the student association
quicker, which will more surely kill col
lege spirit than factionism. As the col
lege grows larger it is becoming more
difficult to know each other and to
know each other well is almost an im
possibility. As it is with a field of
wheat, for a time the crop will require
no more than ordinary care, but after a
time it becomes necessary to employ
some sort of fertilization to make the
field bear a full i rop of grain, so it is
with the college. At first the democ
racy is almost spontaneous, it needs
practically no cultivation, but after a
time factions are likels to grow up and
the democracy will wane if not cared
for.
This is the situation here in the Uni
versity today. While it cannot be said
that the Oregon spirit is dead, with
the rapid growth of the college it is ab
solutely necessary to start some such
movement as is planned It is not the
now while it is at its height, for it is a
time to act when the spirit is dead but
law of nature that after the culmina
tion comes the decline. Are we going
to let the Oregon Spirit famed for its
strength till over the Northwest—die
when it would take such a slight ef
fort on our part to keep it at its pres
ent lead’ or shall we strive to maintain
the spirit of democracy which has so
long characterized our University.
\ well known quotation tells us the
result when an institution is dominated!
by factionism rather than democracy—j
\ house divided against itself will fall.”

NEW PHASE PRESENTED!]
OF MINISTER’S WORK
Pres. Crooks Talks Entertain-: c
ingly at Y. M. C. A.—New
Officers Nominated.
Prsident Crooks, of Albany College
addressed the men’s meeting in Deady
Hall last evening, in the second address |
jf the series of life work meetings, tak- |
ing up the subject of "The Call to the
Ministry,” and presenting it in a new and
appealing phase. He showed how the
ninistry demands a man of greater tal- J
jut and more diversified ability than any
other calling, for the minister must be
i strong speaker, an able administrator
and executive; he must be able to
stand well socially, and appreciate and
understand all other vocations and pro
fessions.
President Crooks dealt briefly with ■
the conditions of the oriental nations,
and showed how it is that the efforts
of those in religious work in those com
tries are having a greater effect than all
diplomacy and statesmanship of ambas
sadors and world diplomats.
The address was very enthusiastically
received by the fifty men who were
present. The third of the series of life
work meetings will lie given next Fri
day evening, when l)r. Sheldon will
speak on the subject, “'leaching as a
Life Work.”
Nominations were made by the nom
inating committee last evening for the
officers of the association for the next ■
year. Charles Koyl was nominated for
president, Walter Huntington for vice
president, Klliott Roberts for secretary,
and Percy Collier for treasurer. Un
less other nominees are offered before
the next meeting, these men will be un
animously elected at one ballot at the .
next meeting. The installation will come
a week later.
GRINDERS GAN FINISH
IN SEVEN SEMESTERS,
"Boners" and students specially gilded
with the .ability to pull down A ami B
grades will, by a rule recently adopted
by tlu' faculty, be hereafter allowed to
outstrip their less fortunate associates i
in the race for graduation. I he new ,
rule does not raise the credit given for
an A grade, but simply extends the
maximum amount of work from sixteen 1
to eightetn hours.
It is not yet possible to finish the col- i
lege course in three years, as has been ,
proposed, but by keeping bis grades to .
now easily finish in seven semesters,
the required standard the student can
The rule is stated as follows: "Students 1
without deficiencies, who have a record 1
for the preceding semester in their
grades of one third Vs, and additional j
one third V and B's, and none below i
( , shall be permitted to take a maxi ,
iiiuin of eighteen hours, the excess cred- l
its beyond sixteen hours being forfeited '
in case of failure to mammtit the stall- v
dard mentioned.
\uother rule recently adopted by the '
faculty, which is of special importance1;
to freshmen, is the one raising the re i
quired amount of first year English
from two to si\ semester hours. It .
states that : "Every student, at the be- i
ginning of the freshman year, shall ,
elect cither ( 1'I to take an examination,
or (2) to take mx semester hours, in ,
Rhetoric for which college credit will t
be given." This rule, however, applies ,
only to students ’n the college of I.iter- ,
ature. Science and the Arts.

FIFTY DOLLARS WORTH
OF TAGS SOLD FRIDAY
Fifty dollars was contributed to the
V. \Y. C. A. bungalow fund yeste 'day
when the solicitors appeared on tin cam
pus armed with small white tags at ten
cents each—the occasion being the prom
ised "tag-day" announced early in 'he
year.
By nine o'clock the student who w s
not wearing a tag felt like a stranger,
and few dared to face the army of pret
ty workers that met them in front of
every building. Faculty and students a
like contributed their dimes, all the pet
dogs were loaded with tags, and as i
result, the rapidly growing Bungalow
blind has now nearly reached the 'food
mark.
Professor F, S. I hum will speak at
Y. M C. \. Monday eve|j|j|fc. All the
• girls are requested to b^tptpSfnt.
