A F orward Step
The awarding of women s athletic sweaters has been a mooted
question for some time in the past. The ease with which a member
oi the women's varsity team eould attain tlie light to wear a blue
sweater with a lemon-yellow “O” has tended to lessen the value of
that sweater in the estimation of men and women alike. The dif
ference between the amount of work required of the members of
the men’s and women’s teams has been considered too great.
The Women’s Athletic Association took a step in the right direc
tion ’ in accepting, subject to 1 he approval of the student council,
the point system of awards for women in athletics. They have set
for themselves a high standard, which will make impossible the win
ning of a varsity award for merely playing in one intercollegiate
game. Sweaters, according to the proposed change, will no longer hr
given to girls who have participated in one intercollegiate swimming:
meet, or who have played ito many innings in one baseball game.
The new system will encourage all-around, consistent athletic
ability. A girl who is proficient in one sport alone, to the exclusion
of all others, will not he able to win her letter. Nor will she be able
to “make varsity’’ once, win her letter, and lose her interest in ath
letics forthwith. The winning of the thousand points required by
the new system will be a real achievement, and will be indicative of
genuine interest, genuine athletic ability, and of hard and consistent
work.
It begins to look as though Vachel Lindsay, America's tramp poet, |
would actually appear before the Oregon student body on the night;
of November 28. After a year of anxious waiting to hear America’s
most talked of bard it is a safe prediction that Vi Hard hall will be,
packed next Tuesday evening.
It is interesting to note that in the five years Shy Huntington i
has directed the destinj of Oregon football lie has lost but one col
legiate game in the Northwest, that to Washington State in 1919. j
The University of Washington, Oregon Agricultural College. Idaho ,
and Whitman have yet to beat one of Huntington's teams. An en- J
viable record, Shy, and one of which you may well be proud.

CONCERT CRITICISM MADE
To tlu> Editor:
The method ot‘ presentiug musical 1
nr lists to the public has grown into
convention. Our recent concert is an
example. The phases of the method
are: First, a publicity euiupniigu com
posed of favorable comment. Second, a
favorably impressed audience ussem
bled to declare t lie artist excellent.
Third, a review of the concert, which
is invariably, and in every respect
favorable to the artist The affair
oxer, there is general ferret fulness.
This process prevents the relation of
the nrtist's previous experience, for
the publicity is apt to deal less xvitli
the criterions for judgitig the coining1
inusieiau than with irrelevant per
soualitv matter. The audience, lacking
training in the faults and merits of
musicians and music, judges artisti'
performance by what satisfies them
and not on the better basis of musical
ability plus satisfaction. Prepared by
the publicity the audience is apt to
be enient. The review which follows
the concert is useless if not dishones*
so long as it is confined to approba
tton. The >m item of merit in the
conventional -e.pience is the final j
forget fulness.
Manx ipiestioos are opened i'v the
foregoing. l'he position an artist holds,
the justification for imposing on the
pi b'n an artist ot extensive rx'puta
:iim but little else; what is good music;
"hat IS the position of the critic;
should the critic criticise without pie
jtidi.e, cither commercial or temper
mental f !
1 hese thoughts occur to me. for the
late concert showed that the audience I
xxas more impr. ss, ,| by vaudeville thin j
b* art, and was well satisfied with a x
program wli'u li in my opinion was only '
slightly above mediocrity.

STUDENTS MASTERING
ENGLISH COMPOSTIGN
Twenty Are Excused From Required
Course Since Beginning of
Fall Term
*
Up to date 20 students have been
> excused from the required English
'composition work, for the term, ac
ceding to Miss Ida Turney, in charge
' "f that. work. A total of 130 were
; assigned to the work for the fall term,
and it is expected that all will be ex
cused before the examination. As soon
j as a student has proved that he has
mastered the principles of the course
and is capable of using them he is ex
empted from the work.
! “All the students excused from the
class have gone on with the work, in
sisting that it is just what they want,”
■aid Miss Turney in discussing the
course. “Our plan is to give the prin
ciples by which they find and work
out their own methods of writing.”
The outline of the work is so condensed
that when giving a test of the writing
done, by methods giveu in the course,
every phas • of writing or syntax is
•overed. When the test fails to work
out, the student is obliged to review
the work lie did in the grade and high
schools.
The entrance examination for the
winter term will be given next Satur
day.

What’s Your Share
of $25,000
Students at the University of Oregon will spend
$25,000 for Christmas presents. It’s a large sum, but it’s
a fact.
Will this money be spent in Eugene? Why shouldn’t
it be—the merchants of this town will have the goods—
from the standpoint of loyalty they deserve it—from the
standpoint of economics they earn it.
Merchants
How, Mr. Merchant, will you
{ret your share? Remember that
every single one of the students
that will spend $25,000 during the
next six weeks is a reader of the
Emerald. No medium of adver
tising— no appeal to judgment
is more effective.

Students
The problem of gifts can be
solved for you by the Emerald’s
uivertising columns. The mer
chants of this town will make
these colunmns their display win
dows. attractive, tasteful, truth

in front of the fireplace. Why
not let the merchants and the
Emerald absorb your gift worries.
It will pay you.
