At the next regular meeting of the Associated Students, Wednesday, May 1, the amendment proposed to make ail letter awards l'or the various major sports of uniform size is to cdnie to a vote. No question brought forward for the consideration of the students this year has ever approached the degree of interest aroused by this proposal to change the system of athletic awards. The amendment was first proposed at the last meeting of the student body, but was referred back to the Student Council for investigation and a report, ,because it was felt that the merits and demerits of the plan were not well enough understood to be intelligently decided at that time. In the Student Council the matter has been referred to a committee, which is to report at th# next meeting of the Council. And while the Council and its committee are investigating, the student body at large is ac cumulating its information largely tthrough rumors, many of th£m wild and exaggerated. The question at issue cannot be wisely settled either in the negative or affirmative except when all of the arguments for and against the change have been put squarely before the students. The Emerald, therefore, will print such information as sub mitted between this date and the date of the balloting that deals directly with the question of changing or retaining the present system of letter awards. With the exception of communications already in the hands of the editor, the Emerald, however, re serves the right to reject any communication more than 300 words in length. All communications should be typewritten and must be written on one side of the paper only. The Emerald de sires to print as much information on both sides of the award question as its limited space will justify and, if available, will print at least two communications in each issue. First come first served. Editorially the Emerald will stand behind the move ment to standardize the athletic “0,” but in the news columns the treatment of the qusetion will be entirely impartial. Two communications relative to the proposed amendment are as follows: i Editor of tin1 Emerald: 1 notice that there m a proposition before the student body to amend the constitution so us to grant a uniform "<>” to football, base ball, basketball, wrestling anil track, and if you will permit the courtesy, 1 would like space in your columns to enter a protest against this change. I luily ap preciate that we view these things from different angles, and the ltmn who has I ecu out of school ior u few years likes to see things maintained the way tlny Were when he was in scllo I, while sonn times there may be no reason for main mining such an order, and it may be that 1 am prompted by this desire. .V-vcrthc 1 ess 1 feel that there ought to be a dis t met ion between the football and the others, as I believe the men wor! harder for the foot hull "O” tlmr tor tiny other w hich it is the prii ilego of the student body to gran’,, and 1 say this without any lent' of being ae> :sed of being selfish, for 1 am not a ,vi ire of the football “O. My "O” is of tlio track design, as presi ribed ill 11H Ci and 'Of,. One strong reason for maintaining tin present and same older of things is thi>. ! If we change the "O" to uiuk it uni form, the old football *'0” will not no- j cord with this change, therefor** the old •'(>" will be misunderstood by n, ny pe > jde. as it would my fie in no. ordanee W '.h the football "O" of Or g. :i. The first suggestion to a strung'" would be that it must be Oln , Oregon Agricultural College, Otvr..-n Normal, or something not I’uiversity of Ot.g. u, f the bin verslty emblem is different. Thy voter-! mis of the past worked as faithfully f - their “O'a” as we have a light to expo, t those who would wear the football "O” to work in the future. For this reason, along with many others that might he un i tinned, permit, me to record myself as heimr opp sod to the proposed change. Very truly your*, \Y. C. WlWl.OW. Free.
