CRITICISM.
“What’s the use of kickin’? 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.

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.

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

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.
