FOR THE VOTERS’ BENEFIT.
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*,

lOditor of the Emerald: It lias been
brought I" our attention llmt t' « r«.‘ is a
measure before tbo student body to
(luume the letter wards. We are all
naturall.v watching the student bod) at
the “l this year and it was a sur
prise when the proposed chunge was in
troduced. Although not i resent at college
this year no fee1 an uct’vo int -rest in
what is going on.
The awarding d the lottei was
settled Upon S( 1 v.il \ 'irs ago by a. group
ot students who bad .veil in mind the
matter ot distin uoi aid appreciation by
which the student body honor 1 those
who took part in the various added • i, .
ti'iti.s. The matter wis sitthd upon
and has Hover betore bot'ti subjeid to
Ma li radical changes as i re ruiw initial
( 1. At the time we wa re tie ••()■’ p was
considered a privilege to weir same and
the size of the letter li >r • the oislinetion
of the sport in which the man took part.
We cannot under-t uni why this mat
ter should so sudden1 > la* changed to
meet tin* desires ol those who wish to
place the sir sire on a.l sweat, i i.
In our time timer was an o. animation
kr.owu as the Order of the "t i" to which
all lettcruien belonged. It s.-ems to ns
that the matter should he taken up and
decided upon by a fair vat:1 of the stu
dent body and not he swayed bv ihe
pi - speet ot seeing all men wd'h tin same
sweaters. The order of the "O'’ was a
traditional organisation and it this tilin',
with practically a new set of members,
it does not seem fair to the old ones t ■
Permit this matter t > pass, it w >uU also
mean the ehangmg of a traditional s\s
tern of which th- t.ld 'T” is familiar
with. Ibis change his previously met the
disapproval of all letfermen ami has
never been dis. oss.-d openly before.
A number of colliers have tl-t sime
plan of different distinction of letter
awards. The prevent plan introduced
decided uniformity and tend to place
