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.

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.

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.
