Giving Freshmen Sweaters
The Emerald feels that the action of the freshman class in voting
to award sweaters to first-year athletes has been hasty. Already
there are too many special class taxes and for the frosh to add fifty
cents for giving sweaters seems inconsistent with economy. Further
more, the necessity for such awards hardly seems apparent.
If the first year athlete is looking for a tangible reward for his
services he should look ahead to earning a varsity sweater. Fresh
men athletics would be of little value to the University if they did
not have as their chief puropse the training of varsity athletes. Un
less the first year men return to college in their sophomore year
and use the training they have received, by competition for varsity
teams, the freshmen coaching has been almost a waste of money and
energy. .
The numerals which have been presented in the past are entirely
satisfactory. They have given recognition to the work of the men in
a way perhaps more effective than an award of monetary value would
have done. They make their wearers feel that they have accomplished
something, but that the real test is whether or not they make their
letter in varsity competition.
It is hardly fair to the varsity scrubs to give the freshmen sweat
♦
ers. There are men on the squad who have worked hard for two or
three years who receive little recognition. Would it not discourage
them to see men who have worked but one year getting such awards?
ft
The awarding of the sweater should be a distinct honor, to be
made only to men who have worked hard and demonstrated their
ability and value to the University. The students should be ex
tremely zealous to see that no undeserving person is bestowed with
this honor. The freshman sweaters may be altogether different, but
it seems that it is detracting from the honor of the official sweater.
At any rate, all such awards should be made by the student body
or not at all.
The worst phase of the proposition is the expense involved. Un
der the provision that a man be awarded a sweater if he makes his
numeral in one or more of the four major sports it can be seen that
it is no small matter. The special assessment of fifty cents to be
paid at the beginning of the winter term will just cover the expense.
Special taxes on the classes may easily be overworked when they are
on a compulsory payment basis. It must always be remembered
that there are many students who are working their way through
school, to whom every little additional expense means a great deal.
The tax levied at the time of registration at the beginning of the
year should be sufficient, and except in the case of emergencies
should be all that is compulsory. Reconsideration would seem wise.
The Best Solution
Too much credit cannot be given to the yell staff members for
making their work successful this year. Despite a lack of support
and the failure of upperclassmen -to try out for the assistantsliips
the rooting has beeu excellent. In addition to the credit Yell King
Rosebraugh deserves, Keeney and Oberteuffer are to be commended
for helping out at the critical time.
With the season past, members of the yell staff have suggested a
plan to avoid any similar occurrences in the future. The idea has
been worked out and will mean more responsibility and more recog
nition for the yell king. Yesterday’s Emerald carried an outline of
the plan, of which one of the main features is to put the yell king on
the student council.
The fact is that the work of the council and that of the yell j
leader are so closely related that in many cases it is necessary to
call him to the meetings. Members of the council believe that the
yell leader would be a valuable addition to that body. Also, it would
give additional prestige to the office, and would insure several good
men in line for the position.
Think the proposition over, and see if yon don’t think that the1
plan is the best solution!
With examinations but a week off, students are beginning
to understand how a eondemned man feels before being led to the
gallows.

ORGANIZATIONS CRITICISED
To the Editor:
Dear Sir: I note in the morning
Emerald that the faculty colloquium
is going to study campus honor socie
ties, and I trust that this committee
will see that we are not overburdened
with fraternities, most of which are-so
called “honor societies.” At the rate
we are organizing it won’t be long be
fore all of us can be presidents or sec
retaries of some “honorary” fraternity,
and if w'o are “loyal” to each one we
would have very little time to attend
classes. - Furthermore, the good de
rived from one of these societies does
not repay, in most cases, the harm
! caused by too many meetings. It is
j not unusual to hear a student wail
|that he is “not prepared—because he
had to attend Beta Upsilon Lambda
i session last night.”
A certain number of honor socie
! ties is a good thing, but when there
are five and six to one department it
is not a good thing, and, furthermore,
a society should be more than a name
and a pin—it should do more than elect
members. This is not written by a
“sour grapes” person who does not be
long to any honorary societies, but by
one who realizes that we have alto
gether too many clubs and societies on
I the campus.
i Sincerely yours,
| STUDENT.

SCIENCE CLUB HOLDS
DINNER AT ANCHORAGE
Faculty Members of U. of O. and O.
A. C. Interested in Scientific Re
search Meet to Discuss Problems
The University Science club, com
posed of faculty members here who are ,
interested in science and scientific re
search, were hosts to about seventy
members of a like organization of
scientists frem O. A. C., last night at
a dinner given at the Anchorage, fol
lowed by a meeting of the two clubs in
the general chemistry lecture room in
McClure hall.
The meeting is an annual affair,
having been started about three years
ago. The first year it was held here,
the second year at Corvallis and this
year the University campus Was again
the meeting place. At the dinner a
few informal talks were given includ
ing a welcomi_B to the guests by Dean
Colin V. Dyment, representing the
University, and a response by Dr.
Lloyd Smail who is the professor of
mathematics at the University of
Washington and is on the campus this
week-end presenting a paper to the
Mathematics club.
The party then adjourned to the
meeting proper at McClure hall. At
this time a paper of scientific research
on “Potato Wilt” was presented by
Dr. M. B. McKay of O. A. C., and one
on “A Comparison of Some of the
Great Canyons of the West” was given
by Dr. D. C. Livingston, also of O. A. C.
The purpose of these annual meet
ings is not only social, but is also to
stimulate cooperation in matters of
scientific research and to learB of each
other’s problems in research.
UNIVERSITY CHOIR WILL
SING AT VESPER SERVICE
Madame McGrew, John B. Siefert, and
John Claire Monteith to
Appear on Program
Tomorrow afternoon at the Metho
dist church the University choir is to
sing Gounod’s St. Cecilia mass, assisted
by Madame Eose McGrew and John
B. Siefert, of the school of music, and
John Claire Monteith of Portland.
This is the third consecutive year
that the choir has sung the mass and it
has proved very popular for each year
the church is filled to capacity. Last
year 2500 or more people attended and
it is probable that the “come early”
plan will be needed again this year.
The mass is sung in Latin, and is
one of the fine things in sacred music,
especially the trio and solo parts. So
prano and tenor solos will be sung
by Madame McGrew and Mr. Siefert,
and Mr. Monteith is to sing the bari
tone parts. There is some exceptionally
beautiful chorus work throughout the
whole mass, which work up to tre
mendous climaxes. This is especially
true of the Credo, Gloria and Sanctus,
which is one of the best known parts
of the mass.
John Stark Evans, professor of piano
in the school of music, and University
organist and choirmaster will direct
the choir tomorrow’.
This vesper service is to be entirely
musical, and no admission will be
charged, but the offeratory is to be used
to purchase music for the choir. Last
year the choir was supplied with caps
and surplices, through offerings re
ceived. The service^ will start
promptly at 4:30 o’clock.
Get the Classified Ad habit.
