A very small number of those enter ing pass the exams first given and those who fail are compelled to take English composition. But there are now in the Uni versity, students, who cannot spell, who cannot write a sen tence, and wlio,. in short, have yet to learn the rudiments of English composition. The entrance requirements for the University demand three years of English, either literature or composition. No requirement is made that syntax be included, or that the stu dent know how to spell or construct a sentence. It would he surprising to the general public if some of the compositions of the college sturent were published. The faculty.receives petitions containing entii'e paragraphs with out.a single verb, but with an unusual quota of periods and begmmngs of sentences. Compositions, themes and essays are frequently submitted that would do credit to a grammar school student, as far as composition and1 English are con cerned. Is enough emphasis being placed on English in the high schools! Is enough emphasis being placed on English here? Spelling and sentence construction are the chief faults. Can not someone find a remedy? Women—some women—still believe they were right in asking for sweater awards for playing seven innings of inter collegiate baseball. The amendment was not defeated by jealous men, but by women who could see both sides to the question, and men who saw the other side plainer. Wjoiiien’s athletics are not yet far enough advanced to warrant any such award as that proposed. When the University started building Susan Campbell hall, the new women s dormitory, it tore up several tennis courts. Are these to be replaced? Surely it cannot be ex pected that Oregon can stage a coast conference tennis meet here, expect to develop a strong team, hold tennis classes in tramural series, and allow individuals to play tennis upon only three courts. Do we get some new tennis courts? When? GYM HEAD APPOINTED Miss Thomson to Succeed Miss Cum mings Temporarily.

ENTRANCE RULINGS MADE BY FACULTY (Continued from Fage 1.) prescriptions for entrance now in the statutes of the faculty. 6. That a committee of five be ap pointed to investigate conditions as re gards entrance requirements in other state universities and report to the fac ulty on the advisability of a more flex ible system of entrance requirements based on the needs of different, schools in the University. Medical School to Give B. S. It was also decided that the Portland Medical School may give the degree of bachelor of science to a student who has taken no work on the University cam pus. but who has taken his preparatory work in some other college or univer sity. In order to obtain this degree the University requires that the applicant reside on the campus at least one year and if only one that year must be the fourth year. For University students filtering the Medical School this sit uation was all right, but in its applica tion to students from other schools the 'conflict became apparent. Students who, because of some diffi culty in making the required number of credits for graduation, are unable to graduate in their respective classes, and who make up these credits in summer school, will have their names listed in the catalog under the class in which they expect to graduate, with a footnote ex plaining that the degrees will be granted pi the following January. Because the board of regents meets only in January and June, degrees cannot be granted earlier. The faculty also voted to have a com BELL ™“™ SUNDAY I WILLIAM F ARNUM In Louis Tracy’s Tremendous Novel “WINGS OF THE MORNING” A Century Comedy “A BIRTHDAY TANGLE” Three shows in Evening—[First Show at 6:30.
