In reply to the oft repeated query of certain self-satisfied members of the masculine persuasion, “Now that they’ve got it, what air the wimen a train' to do with their suffrage?” Ore gon co-eds may point with a triumph ant “I told you so,” to the present movement to organize groups for the intensive study of social and political problems. Of course this is only a beginning, but it. shows that the col lege women are alive and onto the job (which is more than can be said of many of the men), and it portends the organization of similar move ments throughout the State. There are many important prob lems, such as schools, sanitation, child labor, water and food inspec tion, and even the high cost of liv ing, which involve an infinite number of political questions, and which fall naturally within the scope of women’s interests and knowledge. The women of the University, by working along these lines, will lie pre pared upon graduation to go out in to the State and take an important part in perfecting a highly efficient feminine electorate. Everything mak ing toward this end should find un qualified support in the State’s high est institution of learning, for here is to lie found the purest type of pro gressive, intelligent democracy. No More Tryouts, Says Warner No more Dramatic Club tryouts will be held until new members are needed to take parts in plays, or un til a tryout is requested by students who wish to become members of the club. President Warner says that he is always ready to give tryouts to anyone wishing to gain admit tance.

Bouquets and Brickbats MOORES DEFENDS FOOTBALL REFERRING TO FACULTY To the Editor: In last Saturday’s issue of the Em erald I found a veiled, allegorical at tack upon athletics at Oregon by my esteemed intellectual benefactor, Pro fessor F. G. Young. Permit me to answer him in plain English. Professor Young, by speech, ac tions, and writing, would lead us to believe that we should cease our ath letic activity, have no desire to win, and display, for the sake of appro priations, all our Oregon spirit in the classroom, in the state at large, or in the hereafter. Professor Young’s aims are always high', and his theories desirable, but for the sake of conditions as they are, and not as they should be, let me say and ask a few things. Most experts on American educa tion divide the student’s time for the day into three periods of eight hours each: one for college work, one for sleep, and one for play. It is claimed that, by following this formula, the young graduate goes out into the cold world or to the graduate school with fewer technical definitions and hide-bound theories than by observing a more rigid system, but with a broad er mind, broader shoulders, and with a heart beating more than twenty three times a minute. The young American demands some thing besides confinement. Shall we give him athletics, pool, poker, or “Springfield?” If the life of the col lege is wrong, then let us change the system and run night school for high school graduates in every city of the But to athletics again. Many schools and colleges have abolished ] them, only to re-establish them the following year. (). A. C. and Port land Academy are beautiful examples in our own state. Most boys are boys. It’s a pity, hut it’s true. Now about winning teams as com pared to losing teams. All the world loves a winner. The winning team brings out the crowd. Who is in the crowd? Not “sports” of the bar tender type, as has been hinted, but taxpayers of Oregon from every walk of life. This, again, is sad but true. Oregon beat a referendum when she had a winning team. Another strange thing. It is funny how high school stu dents of the State know so much more about Oregon’s athletes than about our faculty. This year, how ever, the faculty is gaining. It. is strange how most voters read the sporting page, pick a winner and take a pride in him. It is strange that the farmer kills or trades his rooster, dog or horse when he finds it bested by his neighbor's fowl or beast. It is strange and a crime that a single Olympic victor is greeted bv lb.(MX) people, while a student winning the highest scholarship hon or in the land goes unnoticed. I’ll admit the unfairness of it all. But how can this University take the red blood out of the voters of Oregon? I say, go to it as it is. Our student body is the cleanest and hardest working student bod\ in the Northwest. The teams are typical of the student body, yet they receive less faculty support than any teams I know of. COUPON 0. MOO RE Si MORE EDITORS PROMISE TO VTTENI) NEWS CONVENTION Professor Allen has added to his list of the editors who will attend the conference Friday several more names. In response to an invitation, R. IV llet/.el, Director of O. A. has written his acceptance. E. E. Brodie. of the Oregon City Enterprise, will arrive Friday morning with Col. Ilofer and Secretary Bates The Kappa Sigma. Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Nu, Phi Delta Theta, Delta Delta Delta, Sig ma Chi, Alpha Tau Omega and Mary Spiller Hall have each volunteered to entertain a num ber of the visitors during their at tendance at the conference. ,lim Thorpe, the all-around cham pion of the world, again proved him self worthy of the fullback position on the AH American team by his mar velous open Held running in the game between the Indians and West Point last Saturday. PROF. YOUNG REPLIES TO MR. MOORES’ ARTICLE To the Editor:—Having been al lowed to glance at the communica tion written by friend, Mr. Moores, I am impelled to .say that I regret exceedingly that he was troubled by what I said in last Saturday’s Em erald. Indeed, I was greatly sur prised at what Coach Moores thinks he discovered in a little effort of mine to enlist alumni for co-opera tive activity with the University in Commonwealth service. Furthermore, I am quite as much surprised that my “speech, action and writing’ has led him “to believe that we should cease our athletic activity.” In fact, my ardor for “athletic ac tivity’ is about twenty times warm er and stronger than is Mr. Moores’, for he believes in a kind that gets 20 men out on the field each after noon. I have been doing my level best for years to have a kind that would get 400 men out every after noon. Moreover. I have any amount of evidence to prove that with my kind, the University would never have been confronted with a refer endum. Positively, my effort was in no sense an attack upon anything but mossbackism and Philistinism in Or egon life and thought.” I said “all with faith in scientific commonwealth development are eli gible” for the game I would have our alumni indulge in. My plea was addressed only to alumni, and I want them to play this new game. There was not the remotest allusion to in tercollegiate football. Can’t a mem ber of the Faculty longer use a little metaphorical language without being pounced upon as an enemy to that which he has always championed? Verily, I fear Mr. Moores is “seein’ things.” Seriously, I was just try ing to boost a hobby of mine and am willing that Mr. Moores should let me alone while I am at it. F. G.
