RECOGNITION FOR THE WOMEN.
Persistent rumors that the women of the University are
preparing to ask recognition, in the form of awards, for their
activities, is causing considerable discussion on the campus and
it is significant that the question most frequently asked is not
“What right have the women to recognition?” but, “What form
of recognition do they ask?”
A few years ago any movement on the part of the women for
recognition of their athletics would have met with serious and
decided opposition. The prejudice against granting them awards
could hardly be said to have been the result of logical reasoning
_it was out and out prejudice—but every attempt to gain some
concession for the women met with failure.
What form of recognition the women seek is not definitely
known, but there appears to be no inclination on their part to en
danger the value of the letters given to the men’s athletic teams
by asking that the women be awarded sweaters and the major
sport block “O”. They apparently have no intention of estab
lishing their athletics as anything else than an entirely indepen
dent branch of the University’s activities. But they are seeking
recognition for their teams as Oregon teams and it cannot be de
nied that their appeal has the weight of justice.
As near as The Emerald can ascertain, the women are sim
ply asking that in return for the support they give the student;
body and its activities, their athletics be recognized to the ex
tent that the student body award letters to those members of the
women’s teams entitled to them under a pre-established system
of making the awards. They are not seeking to destroy the dis
tinction between the women’s and men’s activities. Rather, they
.seek to make the dividing line more marked by establishing a dis
tinctly individual letter for the members of the women’s teams.
It is probable that the next few days will bririg out in defi
nite form tin proposition upon which the women are now work
ing-. What its reception will be depends entirely upon the form
of recognition asked, tor there is little doubt but that student
opinion generally favors greater recognition for women’s ath
letics than now exists.

Works of Famous Artists on
Display at Architecture
Building.
One of the most interesting art ex
hibits of the year is now open to the
public in the exhibition room of the
architecture building. The display con
sists entirely of war posters of the
different nations, chief among which are j
the French war posters brought to this j
country by W. T. Foster. President of
Iteed ('ollege, who collected them while |
in • France this summer. Cartoons by
Louis Itaemakers, the famous French
realistic artist, are also included in the
exhibition, having been loaned by the
Portland Library. One set of interest
ing posters are those lent by Professor
A. II. Sob ruff. These Japanese posters
which were displayed in Japanese news
paper offices at the time of the Chi
nese-Japanese war of 1S94. They are
of a highly decorative type of art and
are brilliantly colored and carefully
finished. Many of the scenes depicted
are taken from the famous Battle of
Yalu ami show the first real battle
with modern ships and modern appli
ances.
ruui|uviay toaua i iomvh.
Among the French posters probably
the best are those of Charles K mi que
rn y, a well known French artist. The
'•Join,nice de 1’Armee d’Afrique et ties
Troupes Coloniales“ is Considered by
many to be the best poster on display.
In this work all unessential detail is
eliminated and the big impression of
(lie crowd advancing and- coming toward
tlie spectator immediately strikes and
holds the interest. Here the high lights
are toned down and ,^ho entire piece
keys one to the action that is portrayed.
The most typically French poster is
the olio entitled “On des Aura. It
represents a French soldier moving for
ward with his head turned back over
his shoulder and with a big smile on
his face beckoning others to follow him.
’!},(. entire thing, though unpolished and
unfinished, is big and active and vital.
The French in their art leave a great
deal to the imagination—they aim to
give merely a suggestion. The Ameri
cans, however, attempt 11 give some
thing too twnrable, too finished, and in
this concrete expression they fall short
of true art. The life of the average
American, being much more crowded
than that of the European, the poster
offered must catch his eye and give him
Bonie definite idea at once. Therefore
the American posters run largely to
dark silhouettes against light back
grounds, large plains and obvious and
realistic trentement of the subject.
Leyotulecker Offers Fine Work.
Eeyendeeker, who just misses being
the best posterman of the day has
offered some of his best work in this
exhibition. liis pictures are handled
architecturally and invariably give a
symbolic thought. All bis work is in
clined to be structural and if he only
did not show so plainly how he gets
his effects his works would be lasting.
However, we retain the technical arti
fices with which he works and depth
and feeling arc lacking in his posters.
"Journee Serhe, -•> Juin, 1010 h\
Steinhelm is also worthy of mention.
Steinhelm holds the first place among
the modern French draftsmen of Far is
todav. His mural decorations in the
modern treatment are famous.
Mat Morgan Hepresentoa.
Mat Morgan, the great l-'nglish-Amer
ican lithographer also is represented in
the exhibition. “Feed a Fighter" by
Morgan is on display. Morgan, who,
vvos a powerful figure in his day, is
also a painter of note. lie was the
organizer ot the large four and eight
page posters of the "Banuun and Hai
ley t'irens” type. «liis posters are in
ternationally famous.
The exhibition will be open to the
publie until the end of this mouth from
two to five o’eloek on school days. A l
are invited to attend.

(Continued from page one)
Varsity and Portwood is showing up
for the freshmen. Portwood is also
out for the high jump while Still is
the Varsity candidate. Moose expects
to work the high jumpers hard, as
tnere are no candidates so far who
have had much experience.
In the sprints Foster, for the Var
sity, and Hertline for the freshmen,
seem to be the best at this early date.
Madden is expected to round into a
good 440 man, but he is a little slow
and so far has not shown a world of
class. Montague should be a point
winner in the half mile, while Bill
Lyle is tearing off mile after mile in
veteran fashion. Lyle should be able
to place in both the one and two mile,
according to the coach.
NEW BOOKS ON WAR
RECEIVED BY LIBRARY
Titles Vary From “No Man's Land-’ to
“Wounded and a Prisoner of
War" by Big Writers.
The library has received a numner
of new books on the war. One written
by an exchanged officer entitled,
“Wounded and tv Prisoner of War,”
tells about prison life in Germany; an
other book called “Outwitting the Hun,”
is written by Lieutenant Pat O'Brien,
of the royal flying corps, who escaped
from a German prison camp by burrow
ing tinder the heavily charged wire en
closing the prisoners of war.
“No Man's Land,” by “Sapper,” is
another war book dedicated to the in
fantrymen of the allied armies. It is
the story of the fight for the possession
of Messines Ridge. "The Glory of the
Trenches,” written by Ooningsby Daw
son, is another story of the western
front.
Cable, author of “Doing Our Bit” and
“Between the Lines,” is meant to show
the lighter side of the war. Boyd him
self has always been a man of action,
having seen hard service in the Boer
war, and since then until ho was com
missioned ns an officer in the artillery
in 1916, traveled in all parts of the
world, studying the life of the people
by working with them.
R. Derby Holmes wrote about his ex
periences in the British army, and calls
his book “A Yankee in the Trenches,”
In the back of the book he has put a
glossary of trench terms. His main
purpose in writing the book, he says,
is to get the people of America to rea
lize what they are fighting for, in order
that they will support the Liberty Loan,
the Red Cross and the Y'. M. C. A.,
which he calls the great triangle that
will bring this conflict to a successful
dose.

Maison Will Not Play.
"Pod” Maison, Varsity third base
letter man who is enlisted in the avi
ation corps, has returned from his
home at Portland for a short time.
He expects to be called soon and has
not registered in school,for this term.
Ho has been on the field during the
past week, but will not play in Sat
urday's contest. After being absent
for more than a week, “Pod” expressed
surprise at the progress which the
nine as a whole has made as shown at
practice.
CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS DIS
LIKED.
Michigan Ordnance Men Get Cotton
Suits Like These on Oregon
Campus,
Camouflage in its superlative de
gree^may be the term applied to the
uniforms of those taking the ordnance
course in the University, as by a
strange freak of fate the trousers are
woollen and the coats a pure cotton
fabric, a travesty in outfitting that
cannot produce otherwise than men
tal anguish to the wearers. Most of
the ordnance men were provided with
uniforms at Columbus and the un
usual condition is due to a stuping
mtxup whereby the woollen coats or
iginally intended for that destination
were sent to some other place, cotton
ones being delivered instead. Although
some of the ordnance corps have pur
chased their own private military hab
it. the double fabric combination is
much in evidence about the 'amcus.—
