I-iet’s go ’round with a smile.” A great many students take it upon themselves to be eon oerned with matters which affect them indirectly, perhaps realizing that their interest can have but little effect upon the case in question. Fireplace arguments very seldom get any where. Either one faction lias the most convincing speakers, or the other has the best line-up of facts. And the factions generally remain the same as they were. The result of the dis cussion probably never effects the question raised. Too many students like to criticize when they have noth ing better to offer. When a student has launched into a tirade against the present status of some matter, and is ques tioned as to what he would do should he control the matter, he very often is at a loss for an answer. The discussion results in a general feeling; of dissatisfaction which can do no good. Constructive criticism may he made beneficial. “Why don’t they do this?” is a verv much better way to criticize than “Why do they do that?” Unless you have something lie-tier to offer, keep your thoughts to yourself. And if you have decided upon a course which you think is better than the existing: one, be straight forward enough to take your id'eas before the proper persons. No one resents a helpful sugges tion. , t .... n i,, “I think it is queer the way such a thing: is being: handled is a remark that contains an element of that, which lor the lack of a better name, is called bolshevism. It you were han dling: the matter, you might have called down upon yourself much more criticism than the person or persons who control the situation at present. Do not undertake to criticize before you are fully acquaint ed with the facts of the case. Very often these facts entirely change the complexion of the matter. The facts may forestall all criticism, and may make the person who presumed to ex press his sentiments without a complete knowledge of the facts feel very uncomfortable. The best way to criticise is not with your hack towards the facts or the person or persons involved. If von have some thing better to offer, take it straight to those whose power it is to remedy the situation. If you have nothing to otter, keep your eriticizm to yourself. , Be sure your criticism is .just, that your ideas are sound, and that you take it where it will do the most good. Other wise, “what’s the use of kickin’?” Let’s go ’round with a smile. Oregon lias a host of traditions. Do you know all of them? The Emerald is offering to its readers a special series of arti cles on those traditions, in which are contained facts which in all probability very few of use are acquainted, The series started yesterday, and until the sources are exhausted, Ore gon students will have an opportunity to read! interesting stories about all the traditions which are now common. Keep up with the articles. Know your University! The varsity basketball team leaves today on its northern trip. Six games will he played during the week or more that the team is gone. As this is the only long trip which the var sity will take this year, it might he a good idea for someone to gather up a little delegation to he at tin- depot at traintime.

At a meeting of the Phi Theta Kappa, woman’s hoiTorury commerce fraternity, hold in the commerce building last night, it was decided that the organization should co-operate with the Alpha Kappa Psi, Betti Alpha Psi and Beta Gamma Sigma to obtain a commerce library. This Iilan which had been started before and dropped was only recently revived. Mildred Aumiller was appointed secre tary to act during the absence of Helen Honkanen, who will be away from the campus this term. Plans were made for a tea to be held at the Delta Gamma house "Wednesday afternoon. The next meeting of the organization will be held in the commerce building Jan. 27. j ★-★ Announcements ♦-----* Co-op Stockholders. — Annual meet ing of the stockholders of the University of Oregon Co-operative store is to be held at Villard hall at 3 p. m.

Aft er winning her degree here in 1912 she studied at Wellesley and then returned to teach at Oregon in her own depart ment. Later she -went to Re£3 College as an instructor and was soon promoted fto acting head of the work. During the war she taught in the Reed recon struction clinic and when that was done started doing private work in physiother aphy in Portland. She was quite suc cessful at thitf and is still engaged in the same sort of work. ♦ ---* ♦ Patronize Emerald Advertisers ♦ * -_* Communications ! *---- * error is corrected. To the Editor: I notice that in your otherwise coin mendable article on the growth of the University, a statement is .made, in refer ence to thf school of commer<|e, that “two" years general preparation is now required before entrance to the school is granted.” This is an error. Students in com merce may still enroll in the school as freshmen. Probably what the writer had in mind is the fact that w-e are re-arrang ing the first and second years of com merce work and to a large extent will make this work of a prescribed char acter. Such a change, however, is vastly dif ferent from saying that we require two years of general work before entrance to the school is granted and I believe that it would be unfortunate to have such an impression get abroad in the state at this time. Cordially yours, E. C. ROBBINS, Dean, School of Commerce. “BEARS” RECEIVE TROPHIES. University of California, Berkeley, Jan. lft. — Officials of the Tournament of Roses Association are on their way to Berkeley with the standard sized ster ling silver football which they will pre sent to the University as winner of the California-Ohio football classic.

The class is for both men and w-omen and is held in the wo men’s gymnasium. WILLAMETTE TEAM SAID TO BE STRONG (Continued from Page 1). periods of three and four minutes. So operating, members of . the team bide their time until a favorable opening is seen. A pass ndiot to an open man, and subsequently the score-keeper registers two more points for Willam ette. Jackson Stars at Canter. What Jackson knows about the league of nations, is a question, but its safe to say he’s not overlooked much in the study of basketball. This Willamette center completely shoved his O. A. C. opponents in the background. When the j Aggies played here they were reasonably sure of scoring when they could get their machinery in operation immediately fol-1 lowing the tip-off from center. They were able to get the tip-off about once every half. The scores of the two games may be fount!, no doubt, in any first class basketball history. Wdpad'/, it would appear, is much more agile or something this season than he Vtas in former years. The big Indian's record hfcs been enviable this season. The line-up which will probah'y start the game against Oregon next Friday follows: Forwards, Wapato and Gil lebte; center, Jackson; guards, llarey and Dimick.
