Tennis men want to make it easier to get a letter. . Whether they all get what they want is a question to be decided by the entire student body. The requests will prob ably be presented to the associated students in the shape of amendments to the A. S. IJ. O. constitution. An intelligent vote demands careful attention to the arguments offered. Craiparisons are always more or less odious. When a participant in one activity argues the superiority of that ac tivity over another he is not presenting the strongest case for himself or his cause. Petty jealousy always seems the back bone of such an argument. • An award is an award, whatever be its appearance, or whatever time and energy it may take to win if. It is the significance widely counts. If “O” letters are worn by more and more men and'women each year, what will be the signifi cance of the emblem? Will it still be an honor to receive such an award? Soccer deserves recognition as a minor sport. The or chestra deserves a pin. The tennis men should not be made to accomplish the almost impossible in order to win a letter. These three amendments are just. _ But the basketball “0” is not too small to have any sig nificance. The women baseball players do not need sweaters and emblems in order to play successfully. If the basketball letter is made larger, other sports will demand a readjust ment of the size of iheir letter by the students. It' the women’s baseball team receives awards, there are many other women’s athletic teams which will demand like recognition. There is no need for these two amendments. The Emerald has voiced one sound objection to the pro posed new constitution, a body with a student representation of six, one of whom acting as presiding officer has no vote, is too small to adequately represent the entire student body. Tt would be inadequate now, and still more so as the University grows. There is a great deal of power vested in the new Exe cutive Council, and a doubt exists in the minds of many stu dents whether it be advisable for a live student body to yield so much power to so small a group. .Lemon Punch will be just as good a magazine as the stu dents make it. The staff alone cannot produce such a comic without the active co-operation of the rest of the student body. Get in and produce something for Lemmv! Let’s introduce an amendment awarding rooters an em blem for faithful sportsmanlike rooting at athletic contests. THREE FELLOWSHIPS OFFERED TO WOMEN Education and Industrial Uniop Will Give $1500 For Social Eco nomic Resoarch. Three fellowships carrying stipends of $500 each nre offered by the Women's Educational and Industrial Union to women who wjsh through preparation in social economic research. According to a letter to President. Campbell from Lu cile Eaves, director of the research de partment, applications for these fellow ships must he filed at the office of the Union, 2fll Boylston street, Boston IT, before May 1. In the letter it is stated that “good health, an agreeable manner of meeting people, rapacity for accurate statistical work, and ability to write good English,** are the qualifications desired in se lecting fellows. The judgments of the appointing committees are based largely on letters from professors who arc fa miliar with the work of the applicants, although a degree from a college of good standing, training in economics, or so ciology, and special fitness for social eco nomic research are required for all can didntos. For tin* past five years the successful gpplicants have been women with some graduate training or experi ence. Training is given in the making and criticism of schedules, in field work, in the construction and interpretation of statistical tables, and in the literary pre sentation of the results of the inves tigation. All fellows are required to take the course in statistics given by the director of the department of research. Clerical assistance, equipment, ami traveling expenses necessary for the in vestigation are furnished by ihe depart ment of research. 4 Patronize Emerald Advertisers 4 CHARLEY'S PLACE 982 Willamette Roasted Peanuts Mother’s Candy Buttered Popcorn Announcements *-* Physical Education.-—Important meet ing of all majors in this department, Tuesday, 5:15 p. m.
