Godfrey “Drifting”—More or Less Designedly The eyes of the world have been focused on the colleges during the past year, and not without cause. The colleges are undergoing a true period of reconstruction,—and this is the transition period, out of which will come what no one knows. The colleges maintain to-day that the old order is reversed; that where a few years ago there was a seeking of the students and considerable concern over the possibil ities of future enrollment, now curtailment of numbers, selective schemes of admission, higher exactions of scholarship before and after admission are the problems. President Aydelotte, in his recent inaugural address at Swarth more, commenting on the new trend says in part, “The method seems clear; to separate those students who are really interested in the intellectual life from those who are not .... “With these more brilliant students it would be possible to do things which we dare not attempt with the average. We could allow them to specialize more because their own alertness of mind would of itself be sufficient to widen their intellectual range and give them the acquaintanceship with other studies necessary for the liberal point of view. We could give .... them also, greater independence in their work, avoiding the spoon-feeding which makes much of our college instruction of the present day of secondary-school character . . . . The brilliant student should not be subjected to the petty, de tailed, day-by-day restrictions and assignments necessary for his less able fellows.” In their pamphlet on “What the Colleges are Doing published by Gimm and Company, it is declared that l)r. Aydelotte’s statement makes in effect a strong argument for the division of the student body into the honors degree groups prevailing in the English uni versities. There are many indications that certain American colleges are drifting, more or loss designedly, in this direction, though the problem may eventually be solved otherwise, in some distinctly Amer ican way. The cry that such selective measures are “undemocratic’’ is already heard in the land. The Harvard Alumni Bulletin sounds a different warning note as follows: “Intelligence must not be treated as if it were all there is to a human being. Physical and moral qualities, traits and powers must be taken into account. Nor can we afford to foster intellectuality in ways which will unduly isolate the man of intellect from his com panions and the world. If we are to pick the man of powerful men tality from among his fellows, our instruction must lead him in the end to apply his powers, then more fully trained, to problems which arc theirs as well as his. Much dangers, however, arc but rocks to avoid, not barriers to the course of the attempt. Andy Smith, coach of the University of California football team, recently declared “that men who go out for football arc not poor students." “In fact,” he stated, “If a man goes out for football it gives him some ambition to study in order that he may keep up a good record on the team. Of the '.15 Varsity football men last fall, none received grades low enough to be ineligible, while the majority passed in all their units. Accounts of a disastrous fire in the fraternity house at Stanford University call to mind the fact that there are numerous fire hazards in many of the structures housing organizations here. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the necessity for adequate protection to life and limb, and every effort should be made by the owners of these buildings to improve conditions wherever possible. A detail of freshmen in the basements now and then is all that is necessary in many instances.

FIRST TRUCK TRYOUTS HELD LUST SATURDAY Meet Will be Repeated With Field Events About 50 tracksters were out Satur day afternoon on Hayward field to take part in the first tryouts of the year. Bill Hayward gave both the Var sity and freshmen aspirants chances i to show what the early training had done for them in the way of putting them into condition. For Varsity con | tenders the 660 yard run, the quarter mile and the half mile were partici pated in. The frosh ran the half mile and the mile. Due to cold weather and the short time for previous training the full distance of the various races was not covered. Many of last year’s track men were absent because of sickness, land some of them have not started turning out yet. In the 660 yard run Wyatt and Pel tier tied for first place with Portwood coming in second. In the frosh half mile Orary came in first, Sholtz second and Ruoh third. Nine men tried out in this event and ran pretty much together to the finish. The Varsity quarter followed result ing in Sundeleaf taking first, Risley second and Rosenbraugh third. Onlv three runners tried out for the Varsity mile. The tryout consisted of three laps around the quarter mile track. Bidwell held the lead for nearly the whole distance, but Beatie had too much reserve for him passing him easilv be fore the finish. Byers came in third. Bill lined all the sprinters up to gether regardless of their respective distances or classes. The race was about 300 yards and ended with Ober teuffeur in the lead, Kuhnhausen sec ond and Vardon third. Next Saturday the meet will be re peated, but this time other conference events will be taken up. No field events were participated in last Satur day. The results of last week’s races are of little interest to the coaches because it is still too early in the season for the men to do their best work. “It doesn’t make any difference how you come out in the races today.” Bill told his proteges before the start. “Keep right on coming out just the same.” While the turnout last week was fairly large the coaches are desirous of getting still more material to work on. Assistant Coach “Hank” Foster savs that not nearly enough men have been turning out up to the present time The few first year men who have been turning out are green at the game, never having hail experience previonslv but according to Hank there is some promising material present, not enough however, to put Oregon’s hopes in a very secure place. MOTELY CREW SEEM WHEN JUNIOR JINKS IS STAGED Angels Step to Jazz Music; Dashing Cavaliers aiul Bowery Toughs are Seen Escorting Fairies A rio t of color,” a ponderous amount of jazz, and a boiler shop of noise. That was the Junior Jinks. And all day today no one was found who had not had a good time. At S:JO tlie door of the men’s gym Hew open to the "most motley” crowd ever assembled in the city. Toughs that would put the bowery to shame escorted fairylike coeds bedecked with silk and gauze. Children romped with ladies of the seventeenth century, angles fox trotted with reptilian vamps, and old maids swung rhythmically with dashing cavaliers to the strains of the waltz. Shakespeare Dumas, or Mark Twain could not have dreamt wilder eharae tors; they were all present, from the sublime to the picturesque. Few were the junior men who did not go home with sore feet, from the Paul Joneses, and light heart which kept them tossing in their bunks as visions of silks and satins passed in fantasy over their tired brains. One might have thought, from the outside, that Oregon was holding a rally when the shreiking couples in the Paul Joases converged into a brilliant, howl ing mass of color. The Indies also had their choice, and more than one quarrel took place over some popular creation when the dance took the form of a tag. However, no injuries were reported.
