8TUDENT SPIRIT DROOPS
“Something Is wrong with tho Ore
gon spirit.” Bill Hayward, veteran
trainer of the University, voiced the
sentiment of many when he told the
student body Thursday that some
thing was lacking in tho support ath
letics have been receiving lately. Be
fore him, at a special meeting called
for the purpose of revising the stu
dent body constitution, sat scarcely
a hundred out of over 1700 students
enrolled at the University. The foot
ball teum, after a strenuous and glor
ious football season, received their
sweaters with about as much display
of appreciation from the student body
for whose honor they had fought us
if they hud bought them over the
counter of a store down town.
Those men deserved more than that.
The words Bill Hayward uttered
should have been driven home to the
many who were absent as they were
to tho few in attendance. Oregon
spirit is lagging. Too many students
are content to reap tho rewards for
tho industry of others without turn
ing a hand themselves. What Bill
said about track applies not only to
athletics but to all other student ac
tivities as well. There are ways of
rousing lagging spirit, as there were
ways of selling pro-Germans Liberty
bonds. But the Oregon spirit of old
was not roused that way.
So long as we are content to let
tho other fellow do our voting at
elections, or attend assembly for us,
or campaign for the luillage bill
without us, that long must wo stand
reproach from those who know the
former days.
It is not a case of simulating in
terest In things or going because wo
are forced to go. if we can't enter
into activities with the spirit which
built up Oregon, far better discon
tinue our activities lest we disgrace;
those who have gone before.
But we are not ut that siage. No
one who saw the rallies of last fall,
or the football game on Hayward
field cun doubt that the Oregon spirit
is only sleeping now. We all realize
that with so much from which'
to choose we are taking only!
t hut containing the most pleasure
for ourselves. Tuffdaj lie amend
ments are up again. Other matters
of importance will appear during the
week. We eouid all be forced or
Bhamed into voting that day. But w e
were not that kind of patriots during
the war. Let's not sacrifice one of
the sacred traditions of Old Oregon j
for our own selfish interests now.
Yillard hall was very sparsely pop
ulated last Thursday afternoon at the
presentation of the football sweaters.
ITep schools turn out 100 per cent
'o honor their athletes and most of
the students live farther away from
the assembly hall.
Oregon has Just as many fast track
men us she used to have but many
of them have slowed down to a walk,
usually in the form of afternoon dates.
The freshman class won tho re
cent swimming contests, which all
goes to show that everything green
flourishes best iu water.
PREP BRAINS CLASSIFIED
SURVEY CONDUCTED TO GROUP
STUDENTS BY ABILITY
J. L. Almack Starting Examinations
to Select Leading Pupils and
Provide Special Work
J. L. Almack, graduate student in
the school of education, is making a
study of the “bright children” of Eu
gene as a thesis. The purpose is to
determine some plan whereby a child
who is unusually gifted, has learned
to concentrate on his study and learns
quickly, may profit by his ability and
not be held back by the slower and
, less diligent students. Bright child
{ ren, declares Mr. Almack, are discrim
J inated against. Slow-witted children
! are given special help and attention,
but the boy or girl who learns his
lesson in half the time the others in
i the same grade require, is left to idle
away his time, falls into mischief and
actually loses his study powers.
The survey includes the seventh to
twelfth grades, inclusive. Mr. Almack
has already given one test to the stu
dents of the Eugene high school and
expects to give the same one to the
Junior high school soon. After grad
ing these papers he will pick a certain
number of students, give these other
tests, eliminating the poorest, until
he has about 20 pupils, to whom clas
sified work will be given.
As an example Mr. Almack said an
ordinary class would be assigned a
lesson. The slower ones would be
expected to prepare only the text
book material, but the quicker schol
ars would be expected to do special
and research work. This would give
the gifted scholars a chance to make
use of their talents, and yet would
not mean that they would graduate
from the lower schools any earlier
than their associates. This would pre
vent them from entering university
at an immature age.
ALUMNI WILL WORK
FOR MILLAGE BILL
Miss Fenton to Return to Portland
to Complete Plans for
Campaign
Miss Charlie Fenton, alumni secre
tary, expects to go to Portland
this week whore she will complete
plans for the millage tax campaign
formulated last week when she met
with Homer Angell, president of the
Alumni association In that city. She
expects to spoqd most of her time
until after the May election at the
campaign headquarters at 514 Pit
tock block, Porland.
The campaign plans are to organize
in each county and have these county
bodies under the general committee
in Portland.
The alumni associations of O. A.
(’. und Oregon normal school will
each organize their members in the
countigs, and these three will bo
welded into one big group, $hich will
include any club people or other
bodies interested in seeing the mill
age tax pass, according to Miss Fen
ton. The alumni of other institutions
also will be admitted to the county
organizations.
Letters to the* chairmen of the
Oregon county alumni bodies have
already been sent out by Miss Fenton.

TRACK MEET DATE
MAY BE POSTPONED
More Interest Must Be Shown If Com
pany Contest Takes Place Sat
urday, Says Hayward
“Not enough interest is shown in
the inter-company track met,” says
Bill Hayward, trainer. Unless more
enthusiasm is shown, he declared,
there will be no competition next
Saturday and the meet will be post
poned until next term. Company
try-outs were not satisfactory, he
said, as there was not a single en
try in some events which should
have afforded hot competition. So
far no company has been able to
pick a full team.
Bill has offered a large loving cup
to the winning company. The fea
ture of the meet is to be a relay
race by seven men from each com
pany. The race will start with a
i 100 yard man, followed in order by
| men running the 220, the 100, the
220, the 440, the 880, and the mile.
There is lots of material in the
companies, he believes, and each is
expected to enter a strong team next
Saturday. The track captains are
Elston Ireland, Company A; Russell
Meyers, Company B; Glen Kalkley,
Company C; and Richard Sunderleaf,
Company D.
SENIORS MUST FILE CARDS
Diplomas To Be Issued at Regular
Graduation
Diplomas will be issued to gradu
ates in June only at the regular
time of graduation, and in Novem
ber, according to a new ruling just
announced by Carlton E- Spencer,
registrar of the University. This,
he said, means that the seniors who
do not file their application cards
for degrees will not be able to get
them until:-the following fall.
These application cards, which can
be obtained at window nine in the
registrar’s office, must be filled out
and returned by March 21, acording
to Mr. Spencer, or it will be too
late.
The cards are for the purpose of
getting the student’s name as it
should appear on the diploma, the
name of the degree applied for, and
other additional information, said
Mr. Spencer. The sheepskins have
to be ordered from the east, the em
bossing done, and then have to be
sent to the regents for their signa
tures. After that they are returned
to the University for the signatures
necessary here.
FROSH PRACTICE DELAYED
Next Term Will See Baseball Start—
Nelson May Be Coach
Freshman baseball practice will not
start until the spring term, accord
ing to Shy Huntington, who says it
will be postponed because little could
be accomplished during the remaind
er of this term, and practice now
would interfere with examinations.
No official frosh coach selection has
been made, but Dick Nelson will
probably be selected.
