“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.

Some day, if you havn’t already, you are going to take

Until that time comes, we’re going to keep on giving
