Two steps to reward students for the work they do on ac tivities which have heretofore been scantily recognized have been taken by the student body this week. At the regular meeting of the Associated students, Wednesday morning, the amendment to award the block “O” to members of the wrestling team who win their bout in an intercollegiate match was passed without oppo sition, and last night the Student Council went on record as fav oring some sort of award for deserving workers on the staff of the Emerald. While there is some little complaint that the provisions which a member of the wrestling team must fulfill before he is eligible for a letter are stricter than in other lines of athletics, the solution of the problem of rewarding wrestlers as outlined in the amendment is probably the most feasible of any which could have been taken at this time. Wrestling has only this year taken its place among the major sports of the Pacific Coast conference schools, and is not a highly popular activity. To provide that a letter be given to all men who make the wrestling team, as some have suggested, would not be entirely fair. For the University team six men are chosen annually, one for each weight, and' it is not at all an extraordinary situation to have but one man try ing out for one weight, while in another division there may be five on six candidates. To give a letter to the man who made the team in his weight division a letter and not reward the four or five who were kept off from the team by reason of com por tion in their division, would not be justice. Any of the unsuc cessful men in the one division might he better men from the standpoint of ability than the one who did make his letter be cause of no opposition. It is true that under the present conditions, with the team only participating in one intercollegiate match, the members of the wrestling team are given but a restricted chance to make their letter. Put when the war has closed and college conditions are once more normal, it is entirely probable that the conference wrestling tournament, under which system each member of the team participates in three or more matches, will be resumed and the opportunity to win a letter in wrestling will be as great as in any other line of sport. Wrestling letters, however, will gain rather than lose in the matter of prestige from the very fact that they are hard to get. In fixing the provisions under which the proposed reward for deserving Emerald work are to be awarded, it is probable that the standard of work required w 'l be fully as strict as in wrest ling and the reward will go to but those few who demonstrate ex ceptional ability and willingness.

Cactus Candy May Become Big Louisiana Industry! (.'actus candy is now being made in ; 1/ouisiami from the spineless cactus grown for cattle food. This candy makes a palatable confection, with onl\ .1 reasonable amount of sugar used, the cactus being peeled, dipped iu hot sirup or molasses, and ooatel with granulated or powdered sugar. It is said that the industry will enable sugar mills to utilize part of their machinery in candy making during the nine mouths of the year when they ordinarily are idle, and also that cactus candy can ho made by housewives on southern farms, using home supplies of cane sirup, a standard farm product of the South.

MAJOR SPORT “0” IS Change Made to Conform With Action of Coast Conference Elevating Mat Art. Every Student Urged to Join Red Cross to Help Boys at the Front. To conform with the action of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Athletic conference, which has made wrestling a major sport, an amendment was passed by the student body, Wednesday, changing the “0” awarded for wrestling, from a Roman to a block shape. The change was made because of the custom of awarding block “O’s” for major sports. The wrestling “O” to be awarded to members of the Varsity wrestling teams in the future, will be four or five by one, and a half inches in size, instead of five by five inches, the size of the Roman “O” formerly given for wrest ling. An appeal for the Nationnl Red Cross was made by Rev.-A. M. Spangler, pastor of the Eugene First Congregational church. lie urged every man and woman in the University to become a member of the association. To Back Soldiers “We must make safe the boys who are ‘making the world safe for de mocracy.’ ” said Rev. Spangler. “We must constitute the home guard, who stand back of those at the firing lino, ready to aid them in every crisis. We can do this by joining the Red Cross today. 'The association needs your name and your dollar.” “The big drive is on to obtain fifteen million new members, and of this num ber, Oregon must supply two thousand,” he continued. “Everyone must realize, that no lias no right to sit at homo in ease, ami comfort, if ho is not on tho war front. Tho Hod Cross is the good Samaritan of today; its work it is pro vide and to care for the wounded. “In tho former wars, seventy-five per cent of the wounded, died through lack of care. The Hod Cross has reduced this average to fifteen per cent. The Ued Cross is actuated by the spirit of brotherly love and tho principles of human kindness.’ Membership eards were distributed to the students, after Rev. Spangler’s ad dress. New Schedules Out Dr. W. I’. IJoyntou announced that all students should register before the Chrismas vacation. “See your advisers,” said Dr. Boyn ton. “They will provide you Vith cards and blanks. If possible, pay your fees now, as this will enable you to make tin most of your vacation, giving you until Thursday. Otherwise, you must be here \\ eduesday.

Charles Dundore, chairman of the “Greater Oregon” committee, asked ev nry University student to consider him self a publicity ageDt for Oregon. “Tell every high school student about the University,” he urged. ‘We want to add at least 200 more students to our en rollment next term, and everyone must work to do this.’ Women Give Generously James Macpherson, secretary of the campus Y- M. C. A., said that University women were exceeding the men in con tributions to the Friendship War fund. He urged that the men take up the matter seriously, and show the women that they could ‘come through.’ Mr. Macpherson also announced that President Campbell will speak at vespers on Sunday, at 4:20. Helene Delano, president of Woman’s league, announced that fifty more girls are needed to make Christmas candy for the Company K soldiers, at Camp Lewis. She asked all University women to co operate in an effort to make up the shortage. A short talk on the necessity of earnest endeavor, in college work, was made by James Sheehy, president of the student body, who presided at the meet ing. Musical selections were given by the University band. oes Rubbers and Tennis Shoes Can be had for Less Money at The store that sells GOOD SHOES.
