CONGRATULATIONS To the successful candidates in yes terday’s .election the Emerald extends sincere congratulations. The others it can merely remind that not every one who runs can win, that popular favor is often fickle and that merit is some times obscured. But now that the election is over, we should all get behind the men who won, whether we happened to vote for all of them or not. They are the choice of the majority of the members of the Student Body. We have given them the responsibility of acting as its officers and representatives for the coming year. We expect them to per form the functions of their different offices faithfully and conscienciously. It is just as much our duty to make their support unanimous. The program for next year is likely to be a trying one. The proper sup port of the University is still before the state as an unsettled issue, a sit uation which den.ands tact and level headed conduct on the part of all its students, but especially in those whose positions make them the ones by whom the rest are judged. We signi fied our trust in them at the polls. They have a big responsibility. The rest of us owe them our support. Let’s get together. A FAYING INVESTMENT ♦ One of the results of Common wealth Day should be to emphasize the fact that it is the State and not the individual who, in the long run, benefits by higher education. As far as the individual student is concerned, I it is a doubtful question as to whether or not he can afford, from a dollars and cents standpoint, to attend a col lege or university for four years. Figuring the matter closely from this viewpoint, it is not remunerative in vestment of time and money. Yet' we must recognize that there is an in creased efficiency on the part of the individual. Who receives the benefit of it ? On answei It t us take a con crete example. Suppose all the doc tors, for instance, were just half as j well equipped and prepared to cure disease and affliction as they now arc. Who would be the loser? I ho doctors would veeivt just n- high foes as they now do and their practice would undoubtedly he even g*eater. Society would be the loser. Wo might go on through other professions, Tafts and trades, shown that tin• hiei eased effi ciency brought about by higher edu cation redound' t the State. This is < ky a state find; education a good in vontrv*nt. What mar ,,u ts his chil dren taught by any hut the best teach ers, o" his bridges built by any but ho best engineers? A vain, the fact that State institutions keep the stand ard high, enfo<nvs that same standard upon j,!l that they ma; compete with those better equipped, and society is again the gainer. The purpose of Commonwealth Pay is to make more evident this co ordi nation of State and University. The University is the vercai.t of the State not of individuals, aril the State should demand the very best service of it® institutions. ?.lanila Cigars at Obaks SPORTS WOMEN ACTIVE AIM IS DEVELOPMENT OF PHY SICAL PERFECTION Canoeing, Arhcry, Baseball, Golf, and Tennis Are Favored Sports. In March the women of the Uni versity organized an athletic club, given expression to a marked and growing interest in all branches of athletics. It is the plan of the girls interested to interest other girls, en couraging athletic sports among them furthering the development of a more physically perfect college woman. In April the girls taking gymnasi um work contended in an outdoor tiack meet with all the energy and en thusiasm of Olympic stars. In May all the classes in gymnasium work met in their fourth annual demon stration, and from now until the end of the college year the girls have planned to continue their exertions in tennis, golfing, indoor baseball, ca noeing, walking and archery. Work i in some branches is required of the women who have not completed their regular gymnasium work, and mem bership in the Women’s Athletic As sociation entitles anyone else to par ticipation, with the use of the club’s or University’s apparatus. In the fall hockey and basketball will be added to the list of sports providing a wide range of choice for the most varied tastes. GIRLS’ SPORTS SHOW LIFE AS SPRING COMES Mildred Bagley, Holder of Cup, Will Again Compete for Cham pion ship Cup Though the inclement weather has prevented much being done in Ten nis so far, this season will be an es pecially interesting one. The owner ship of the tennis cup that Dr. Stew art offered to the girl who would win it three times in succession will be established this season. Mildred Bagley has won it twice and she will play for it again this year. Agnes McLauchlin, president of the “Women’s Tennis Club,” says that they hope to arrange to have tourna ments with other colleges this Spring. Mr. Geary has written to 0. A. C., but as yet no word has been received. Last year the women would have played with the University of Wash ington, but the Dean of Women at Washington disapproved of the wo men playing off the campus. Next week Miss Perkins will hold try-outs for membership in the Ten nis Club. This club was organized in the Spring of 1909 by Frances Ober teuffer. At that time there were no courts on the campus. The board of regents then built three courts. When the club was organized, anyone could become a member who could play at all. Two years ago the membership was limited to those who could play well. This year the club was taken into the athletic association, but it still holds its own identity. The club pin is a little silver tennis racket. Next week the "Round Robin” will be played. That, is, each girl plays for herself. This series is played for the “beginners cup,” which is offered annually. ‘‘More girls try out, and more girls play now then ever before,” said Miss Perkins, speaking of the unusual in terest manifested in the sport this year. WASHING TON O A KSM EN BREAK ROWING MARK SEATTLE, Wash., May 8. Rowing a stroke of 32 to the minute, the var sity crow last night beat the old rec ord for the three mile race on Lake Washington by nine seconds and set a new record of 16.13. Two years ago Washington made a record of 16:19 in a race with the University of Califor * nia over the same course. California did not press the varsity closely. Last night the second crew pressed the varsity hard for the first two miles, but on the final mile gradually i dropped behind and finished about three lengths of open water in the rear. Coach Coni boar has been shifting the men about in the shells ever since the return from California, with the result that the present crew has been discovered. While Oonibar will not state that this is the eight to race California over the Lake Washington course May 22, it is generally under | stood he will not change the line-up. Baseball scores at Obaka.

ROSE FESTIVAL MEET TO HAVE TEN-MILE RUN William Schmitt, Who Is in Charge, Will Know Soon if Colleges Will Allow Students to Enter. The Marathon race will be intro duced into Pacific Northwest Associa tion athletics at the annual champion ships in Portland on June 14. William Schmitt, Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club track and field chairman, who is handling the big Rose Festival meet, announces that a ten-mile race will be the feature of the gathering of Northwestern champions. From 20 to 30 runners, including Indians from the Browning, Montana, school and possibly several from Chemawa, will compete in the ten-mile contest. Ten prizes will be awarded, with the winner drawing a handsome loving-cup. The course will be laid out within a week, with the finish, and possibly the start, on Multnomah Field. As soon as this is done a number of inter scholastic Marathoners will begin training for the event. This Marathon is going to be the big feature of the meet,” predicts Schmitt. “Scientists tell us that the idea is erroneous that these long-dis tance races are bad for ^athletes, so there is no excuse for Portland boys to refrain from entering. The Indian school authorities at Browning, Mont., have assured me of at least one entry, while other sections of the Northwest undoubtedly will enter their cham pions.” Schmitt will send out entry blanks for the meet the first of the week. By that time he will know whether Ore gon, Oregon Agricultural College and other Northwestern colleges will enter individual teams or permit their men to compete under the colors of athletic clubs. At a meeting of the inter-scholastic officials at Multnomah Club last night it was decided to adopt the scheme of drawing for heats in the races of the May 24 meet a day before the con tests. This will enable the officials to run the races off much faster. The grammar school relay, which will be a feature of the meet, will have at least 20 team starters, with the heats sandwiched in between the Inter scholastic e wnts. From “As You Like It” Her Choice.
