SCHOLARSHIP GRADES REFORM.
The keen rivalry being developed by
fraternity and non-fraternity students in
the race for first rank in the compara
tive scholarship grades of each semester
is having its evil results.
Following euch semester a list is is
sued from the registrar’s office which
tabulates comparatively the scholarship
achievements of the fraternities, clubs
and non-fraternity students.
It is human nature to want to stand
at the bend of this list; but “flashing
in the pan” does not gain the cherished
end always, and the group winning is
usually the group that deserves the place
according to the amount and kind of
work they have put in. But the final
rush after the grades are in to alibi to
change the result has begotten evils and
the very purpose for which the list is
issued has been thwarted.
The original intention of the list was
to show first, how houses ranked
against each other, second, how houses
ranked with clubs and non-fraternit.v
students, and, thirdly, to determine
whether or not studious application were
possible within a fraternity house and if
so were the better average in favor of
those who carried on their studying with
in a house better than those who did not.
This, the Emerald reiterates, was the
original intention in the issuance of the
list. But the system was never perfect
ed to gain that result. Each fraternity
was allowed to secure the advantages (or
disadvantages) of their members living
both in and out of the house, and if per
chance there was someone living within
not a member of the fraternity that per
son could he disorlminted against and
his grades thrown out of the fraternity’s
general average. No list based tliusly
eould possibly show the true status of

studying within or without a fraternity
house.
In the light of i»nst misunderstanding
and the liability of future difficulties the
Emerald suggests a change. This
would be for each house’s grades to
he based upon just those who lived with
in. This would bar all fraternity stu
dents living on the out side who would
then go in the non-fraternity category.
This would also include pledges and non
fraternity people living within. This
change would be fair and equitable, do
away with misunderstandings and the list
would then be a real criterion of com
parative scholarship between fraternity
and non-fraternity students.
A GRATIFYING TREND.
A dean of one of the schools in the
University recently remarked in discuss
ing scholastic matters and the relation of
students to their work and the faculty,
“The readiness with which the students
have entered into their work this year
and the willingness with which they have
taken up the heavier burdens imposed by
l a rising standard of scholarship has de
lighted the faculty.”
This tendency is alike gratifying to
faculty and students. It comes in a year
when both sides have made some import
ant concessions and when the experiment
of a more liberal policy was being tried
by tin? faculty. The possession of a
winning football team is not without .ts
diverting influences and the freer and
less restrained life which the students
have been privildged to enjoy might have
resulted in a different issue. The stu
dents, however, given inches, ’have not
tried to take yards, and have responded
to the • re-instntmont of basketball with
the increased efficiency in the matter
of scholarship mentioned by the dean.
The attempt begun some years ago to
elevate the scholastic standing of the
University was met with a spirit of co
operation on the part of the students
and their response is thus indicated by

Students of the University of Oregon
are beginning to see that there must
be something done in regard to a play
ing field if they want more champion
ship battles at Eugene. The Washing
ton-Oregon game two weeks ago was
played in a quagmire and many former
students of the college announced that
they “would never attend another game
there unless something was done.”
The first step in the direction of a
campaign for a better gridiron and ath
letic field at Eugene was launched when
the Oregon Emerald, the official organ
of the school, printed a scathing edi
torial.—Sunday Oregonian.
f COMMUNICATION [
*-*
Anent the Field.
Nov. 10, 1916.
Oregon Emerald:
I want to congratulate you on the let
ter I read in this a. m. Oregonian in
regard to your grounds for football
games, and I think if the parties con
cerned do not look at this matter as you
do they will regret it, for I know there
are hundreds that .took the same view
as I did when Oregon and U. of W. play
ed, that owing to the rain the grounds
would be in no condition to play on
and would not come the distance to see a
game played on such a field, and again
is it not a disgrace to see the stands
that are on the ground? I made it a
point to be here yesterday to see the
freshman game and even with the slight
rain of one night look at the condition
the grounds were in, also the stands.
During the game a slight rain came up
and every one began to get uneasy that
the rain would come in your fine grand
stand. I want to say up to this season
I have never missed a game of any eon
sequence on this ground, but I have de
cided to do like hundreds of others, until
the grounds and grandstands were put in
condition, to say away from the games
here. I am glad to see your paper take
up this fight and hope you can convince
them that something should be done, and
done at once so that when the annual
game between Oregon and O. A. C. is
played next year we can all come knowing
we can see a football field and decent
stands.
I remain respectfully,
MAX FRIEDENTHAL.
ALUMNI MAY JOIN A. C. A.
Wou*d Have to Be Associate Members as
Oregon Standard Not High as Required
The abvisabllity of joining the Associ
ated Collegiate Alumnae as associate mem
hers was discussed at the meeting of
the Oregon alumni association Thursday
Since the University standard is not ns
high as the A. C. A. requires the Ore
gon alumni would only be eligible for
associate membership. This will be voted
on at the next meeting. A standing com
mittee chosen from among the members
of the Oregon alumnae would transact
the business which is now done by the
entire association.
Mrs. J. O. Holt resigned her office of
president at this meeting. Dean Eliza
beth Fox gave a talk on her observations
of the women upon the University cam
pus and what she hoped the various cam
pus organizations would accomplish.
