Frosh Sweaters and the Humorists’ Inning
The mucli-heralded freshman sweaters have arrived! h’or weeks
the first-year athletes have been waiting, anticipating tiie day. They
were presented with due formality—but for some reason or other
few have been seen around the campus. One or two appear when
the fraternity back yard is being cleaned up on Saturday mornings,
but the opportunity for the punsters and humorists is too great—and
the sweaters are tucked away in a closet. So goes the greater share ■
of the special tax money collected at the beginning of the term.
The sweaters were purchased in spite of remonstrances by The
Emerald and by numerous students. Their appearance shows that .
the action was hasty, if not ill-advised. Some means of guarding
against further mistakes of this nature in the future are apparently
necessary.
In the first place, the principle of sweaters for freshmen is wrong. ,
The thoughts of first-year athletes should be toward the attainment
of a varsity sweater. The purpose of freshman athletics is not to play i
games or to give distinction to participating athletes, but to train the
frosh for service on varsity teams. Nearly everyone who has been:
questioned has expressed approval of the traditional monogram with '
the class numerals. There lias been no criticism of the freshmen j
athletes themselves by those who are opposing further granting of
sweaters. It is felt that classmates have been over-enthusiastic.
Even if nothing more is to be done, it is apparent that all athletic j
awards should be under the supervision of the associated students,
or of the “Order of the 0,” or of some other responsible body. A
recurrence of the incident should be prevented by some definite
action.
_
At Washington State College, Cougar’s Paw, literary magazine,
has proposed to put out a special number, printing the grades at the
end of every term. Doubtless the advertising would sell easily.
The term is half over. Consistent work now will make last min
ute cramming unnecessary.
TEACHING ENGLISH WITH
FILMS TOLD IN ARTICLE
Ethel Wakefield Writes Story for Mag
azine on Use of Slides in
Classroom Work
Ethel Wakefield, 'L’O, head of the
English department of the University
high sehool writes in “Visual Kduea
tion,” January, l!>2:i, on “Teaching Lit
erature with Films and Slides.”
Students majoring in English, expect
ing to teach that subject in the high
schools, will find Miss Wakefield's ar
ticle a presentation of the latest prob
lems in this most recent phase of mod
ern education.
That films and slides are destined to
a permanent place in the study of lit
erature is obvious, that they involve
problems deeper than is at first appar
ent, Miss Wakefield’s article fully illus
trates. The article is illustrated with
excellent film pictures. The article is
concluded by a list of twenty eight films
for literature class work w ith the names
of the places where they can be secured.
EDITORIAL COMMENDS
ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
The Dalles Chronicle Cites Need of
University Since Present Increase
in Student Enrollment
A recent editorial from The Dalles
Chronicle commends the work being
done by Doan Straub and Lamar Tooze,
head of the University endowment i
movement, after a visit made by them
to the city.
The article, quoting recent statistics
of the rapid growth of the University, 11
shows a hearty cooperation with the i
work of the campaign. It states, “The :
state University is the ranking unit of I
a public educational system in Ore-1 |
gou in which our state stands among i
the leaders of the nation. Its growth . i
has been like that of a healthy boy in i
a poor family, who reaches out from his
clothes, but has no now garments to
fit the increasing dimensions.”
The Chronicle is a hearty supporter
of the needs of the University, and de
scribes them in detail. The increase
in full time students is shown; in 1012
there were (121, the remainder of the
enrollment being specials, night stu
dents, and extension workers, while
this year there are 2,400 full-time stu
dents.

COMMUNICATIONS
ACTIVITIES ARE UPHELD
Po the Editor:
So much has been said against col
ege “activities” that some one should
■hampion their cause. There should be
10 question of activities versus studies.
student should not spend his time
loing one to the exclusion of the oth
>r. The whole question is one of organ
zation. If the hours of the day are
iroperly scheduled, both activities and
itudies can be attended to efficiently.
Activities are educational in them
lelves, as they prepare the student for
i variety of endeavors in the outside
vorld. A good citizen does not spend
ill of his time with his business, so
vhy should a student devote himself
;o his studies alone ? Campus activities
•esemble the civic work of the valuable
•itizen. The idea of public service
ind the sacrificing of time for a cause
mines in. Some one lias to put in this
:ime in a city, s^ate, or even the nation.
So, also, there is need for such unselfish
work in campus life. What would the
University be without the “Oregon
Spirit?” This spirit would cease to
jxist if students did not carry on the
ictivities of the school.
Proper organization of time will al
low students to be active on the cam- j
[lus, and at the same time a high!
•lass of work scholastically. They will!
set a certain amount of time aside for
studying each subject, will master it in
his time, and in so doing, they will not
jnly get the information to be derived
from such subjects, but will also learn
die valuable lesson of making every |
lour count.
It is probable that “social activities” 1
leserve criticism. There are too many
social functions on the campus at the j
iresent time, and they should be curtail- j
jd to a certain extent. However, a.
rood amount of social life is needed for i
ill-round development. A smaller per- j
•outage of this would give the student
noro time for intellectual development,
mil would at the same time leave en
mgli for a training in meeting people1
md necessary part in them. Social life
ins an important and necessary part 1
n the life of the student after he leaves ;
•allege, it' he wishes to succeed, and it !
should not be altogether neglected j
vhite he is an undergraduate.

STAND HAS BATTING CAGE
Though it will be a long time until
layward field will see another big foot
>all crowd, the grandstand will not long

milt out from about the fourth step
it the south end of the stand, and will
oou be in use as a batting cage for
pring baseball practice. Rope nets are
icing put up on all four sides, and an
ither will be stretched across the top.

I. R, DOUGLASS EXPLAINS
SIX-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL
imited Electives Begin After Sixth
Year, Says H. R. Douglass in
Educational Paper
“■'Possibilities _iu the Sik Year Hugh
chool for th Small Town” is the title
f a thirteen page article written by
[. R. Douglass, librarian. This article
i published in the January issue of Ed
eational Administration.
“The school is a 6-year high school
aving two divisions of three years
ach, the junior and senior divisions,”
i the way Mr. Douglass begins his !
iscussion of its organization. Students j
romoted from the sixth grade enter
he junior division. This is a step
rom a prescribed curricula to limited i
lectives. When the pupil reaches the
unior Ill’s or eighth grade he will
ave several electives among French,
ommercial subjects, general science,;
nusic and art.”
This scheme of schooling will require
ertain housing provisions, but no more
han the average high school. The
milding should be large enough for ap
iroximately 200 students. This, Mr.
Douglass believes, would meet the situa
ion.
The materials for instruction for the
ix years, methods of supervising, so
ialization of instruction are briefly i
mtlined by the writer. Studnt self
[overnment would be a form of real
elf control and personal responsibil- j
ty subject to student public opinion,
rhere would be a student officer and |
t student council and-real school citi-j
;enship.
A reorganization in the educational,
ystem from the seventh grade to the
•nd of high school in this way would
;reatly increase in efficiency out of
til proportion the increase in expendi
ure.
“The chief obstacle,” states Mr.
Douglass, “is the unwillingness of the
axpayers to vote a slightly higher
ax rate. This desired change would
■ome at the most critical period of
hild life. Convince the community,
eaders of the economy of the plan and
hen the problem is solved. This sys
em, the writer believes, would be most
jeneficial and adequate in small cities
md towns.
