DEMOCRACY “Democracy” is the by-word of to day and, hearing it, we of the United States are apt to think of our nation as having arrived; only those other far away nations have yet to reach the goal. But “democracy” means more than a form of popular govern ment. “Underneath democracy lies the truth of God and the brotherhood of man,” and only on this basis can a democratic government be really democratic. But what has this to do with us students of the University of Oregon?; The fight for democracy has been won on the battlefield but this victory shall be lost WE are unprepared to carry on the work, as the world will look to the students of today- for its leaders. What kind of leaders will it find? The answer will be determined by the kind of ideals which we tolerate and employ on our campus. Is our campus demo oratic ? The point system which the Worn on's League inaugurated gives evi dence that we are taking measures to give equal chances to all girls, and are placing office holding on a democratic basis. The response made to the War Fund drive is another evidence, and the very existance of such organize (ions as the \ssociutod Students, Y. W. C. A. and Women's League, points in the same direction. But we are yet far from the ideal of democracy. In theorv each student has an equal chance, but in practice we :*.re inclined to deride those whose ideas differ from ours and so thwart their development and stifle their powers. In our loyalty to smaller groups there is a danger that we may get the group habit of thinking and ignore the lest of the campus. Let ns strive first to make our cam pus “safe for democracy.” NKYADA For a woman in Knglnmt to appear in u now cost unto Unlay, is eonsidered “bad form,1' and any woman so pro seating horsolf generally doos so with apologies for the absolute necessity of the ease. This statement was made by Professor Stoughton Holborn of tin1 University of Oxford, in a leeture de livered in a fine arts eourse in Wash ington University. Several University of Michigan men have volunteered to plant potatoes and weed vegetable gardens this spring as assistants to Mrs. K. M. Kiehards of Ann Arbor sehool gardens, and mans more are needed. Special Junior Ulass meeting eall ed for Friday afternoon, at 5:15, in Prof. Howe’s room. PLEA FOR THE TREES To the Editor of the Emerald: Would that tire fiery muse would supply me with the power of expression for the wrath, indignation and sorrow that has been mine today, upon seeing three of the most beautiful trees of the campus ruthlessly butchered. The one solace in the matter comes from the fact that I am not alone in my mis ery, for the hearts of dozens of those who have grown to love the campus have been heavy today. The spirit of the poet of yore who cried, “Woodman, spare that tree,’’ when one from a whole forest was to be destroyed, is not to be compared with the feeling created upon seeing a massacre of these trees, which formed one of the love liest approaches to the campus. Ami what was the reason for this? Surely there must be a good one. Well! it was to give room for another cement tennis court (which I will not deny we need). But why should the court be placed in the particular spot that makes such devastation necessary? Was it in order that the court would be near the library? Surely the noise that al ready ascends to the stack rooms should be balanced by a similar volume of sound. And surely the level plain a few feet.from the present selected site is reserved for some important ediface in the near future. We have heard that the Yr. M. G. A. clothes lines are to be placed here. These trees are gone and let them proceed with the construction of their tennis courts, but is a tree that has been growing for a generation to be uprooted every time a gentleipau clad in white flannels, with white filet about Ids head, wishes to besport himself with ball and racket? Gannot our tolerance towards these ornamental gentlemen be extended also to the trees of the cam pus which, to the mind of some at least, have an equally aesthetic value? It is to be hoped. A SENIOR. NEW COURTS BEING BUILT To Bo Ready For Use Junior Week end; Tennis Facilities Poor At last tho tennis facilities of the University are to he improved. Two new concrete courts wore ordered built by President Campbell after the need i f them was recognized as being very urgent by the inter mural sports com mittee of which Professor E. K. DeCou is chairman. The contract was let to It. W. Stine, and work on the courts has been started and it is hoped that they will he ready for use by Junior Week end. In order to build the courts together, it was necessary to remove three of the trees directly north of the present cement court, hut this will in no way hinder the appearance of the campus, hut will on the other hand enable the new courts to have ti shady background and during a part of the day there will he no glare of the sun to hinder playing. The work of clearing and grading of the ground for the courts will probably he finished this week, and the work in placing the concrete com pleted the following week. 1 The need for more room for tennis has been acute for some time, for with both men and women playing, only one concrete court and four dirt courts, which cannot be used a good share of tho time, proved to be entirely inadequate space. MISS McCORKLE SPEAKER National Industrial Secretary of Y. W. Pleads for Factory Girl Miss t'oustiuu'c McCorkle, industrial work secretary of tlie V. \Y. C. A., gave a most interesting talk to the women of the University Tuesday even ing at the Y. M. hut. She brought home to those present their responsihil it v to the girls in industry the t'ac torv girl. •'We should not look down on the factory girl or try to patronize them; we owe them too much,” said Miss Me Oorklo. In many cases they have won derful character, as in the case of the girl who had saved very, slowly the sum of $30 yy ith which to learn typewriting, and yvhen the chance came for a pro motion in the factory, gave it to her sister, because she did not want her to go through the same hardships she had experienced. Then the sister need ed an operation on her thioat and this girl gave up her $30 and did without the typewriting lessons to make her sister strong. "We are obligated to the factory girl. They work for us so that we may come to college and get something high er. Their fathers pay for a state uni versity just as our fathers pay for it, but their daughters do not get to come to it. We really owe them a lot.” Beats Kappas and Hendricks; Maud Lombard’s Fast Ball Has Them Scared The Oregon club women indoor baseball team is forging ahead and stands in line for the championship of the indoor series, having won from the | Kappa team on Tuesday evening by a score of 22 to 9, and on Wednesday evening defeating the Hendricks hall j team by the one-sided score of 32 to 3. Tn the game played last night in the women’s outdoor gym, the Oregon club piled up the score because the Hen dricks hall players were unable to cope | with the fast pitching of Maud Lom bard, of the Oregon club. Many of their players did not even get the chance to run, being knocked out for not batting. Jessia Todd and Ruth Flegal did the best batting for the Oregon club. Lois Morthland did good batting and run ning. For Hendricks hall, Vivian La Prairie, Leah Wagner and Frances Habersham did good playing, but at that were not able to add to the score. The outcome of the game last night was a complete surprise because so far in the series both the Oregon club and Hendricks hall had won two games and it was expected that yieir contest would be close. Maud Lombard, pitcher for the Oregon club, did some clever play ing when she sent over fast balls which the Hendricks players were unable to bat, then sending slow ones, which they could have hit hajl they not been scared away from the plate. There will be one moje game in the series. Next Tuesday evening at 5 o’clock, the Delta Gamma team and the Kappas will meet. The team win ning the most games of the series will be declared the champions of the sea son. The line-up for last night’s game fol lows: Oregon club—Maud Lombard, pitch er; Virginia Hales, catcher; Dorothea Boynton, right short; Lois Morthland, left short; Rita Ridings and Dorothy Dickey, right .field; Ruth Flegal, first base; Enid Lamb, second base, Jennie Hango, third base. Hendricks hall—Frances Habersham, pitcher; Ruth Griffin, catcher; Char lotto Clarke, right short; Vivian La .Prairie, left short; Ellin Thomson, right field; Florence Casey, left field; Leah Wagner, first base; Echo Balderree, second base; Margaret Russell, third base.
