To organizations which have earned a place on the campus unfavorable comment may often be a blessing in disguise. There is no better stimulus for passive friends than a severe criticism. The only institution or tradition which is afraid of criticism is the one which has outgrown its usefulness. One or two students ...thought an article criticizing the campus Y. M. C. A. by liobert Lane should not hr /e been printed in the Emerald on Sunday. There is but one answer: if the position of the Y. M. C. A. on the campus is deserving, ci'iticism will only serve to bring out friends. If Lane’s contention that the hut could be used to better advantage in other ways is sound, then restraint of criti cism is the only hope of the organization. It is only by constructive criticism and by popular expression of ■opinion that society is able to reach reasonable conclusions. One man’s opinion is as good as another’s. One function of journalism is to promote discussion and criticism to the end that logical conclusions may be reached. It is certain that there can never be progress while people blindly accept institutions and ideas without question. The Emerald is always glad to print reasonable opinions if they are sincere and if the writer has the welfare of the University at heart, lly printing such articles, signed by their authors, the Em erald does not necessarily sponsor them. It merely presents the ideas to the students for discussion. The Emerald “To the great western poet, Joaquin Miller, whose early life was spent among the inspiring scenery in the environs of Eugene, the j Emerald is indebted for its name. His grandest poems were songs of the West, and among them are many in which he loved to call this the Emerald State. His wish may never be officially sanctioned, but we believe that a name which thus stands for one of the Univer sity’s colors should find immediate favor among our readers as the future name of the Oregon Weekly.”—Oregon Emerald, September 09 ];)()<). (The first issue under the name, Oregon Emerald.) Announcement of the plan to aid the gift campaign by the Delta Gammas is particularly gratifying. What better service can any group extend to the University? It is an honor for the Delta Gam mas to lead off the procession among the women. OREGON WATER STARS EOSE MEET TO AGGIES Varsity Swimmers Place in All Races Except Relay Bv several extremely elose races the Oregon swimming team lost to O. A. C. in tin' dual swimming meet at Corvallis on March !*. The final score stood 41* to 17. Oregon placed in all the races except the relay, which was won by O. A. 1 by a good margin. All the rest of the races were close. The breast-stroke and' the back stroke were almost tied. The four length relay on the 100 foot pool at Corvallis was won easily by j the O. A. ( . team. In the fancy dive second place was j taken by Lowell Angell and third place by dene McKinney from Oregon. Bur roughs from O. A. who is one of the j best fancy divers on the coast, won first place. The }00 foot dash was won by O. A with Lvle Calmer from Oregon tak iug third place, la the 200 foot breast stroke Oregon placed one man, Forrest Littlefield taking third place. This race was very dose, »a\s Coach Barnes. In the 220 foot dash second place was taken by deorge Horsfall and third i by Calvin Yoran of Oregon. The 200 foot back stroke was lost to O. A. C. by a very small margin, Calvin Yoran taking second place. The last race, the ! 100-yard dash, Lyle Palmer took second place. 1 Although the Oregon team lost the meet, it was not outclassed in any event except the relay. Gerald Barnes, coach of the swimming team, was extremely well pleased with the showing of the men, and with the courteous treatment received at O. A. C. Much interest was shown in the meet. The program was filled in by fancy high-diving by Pinkston, world’s cham pion fancy diver at the 1920 Olympic games, and Burroughs from O. A. C. Also life saving medals were presented to some O. A. C. girls. In the state meet at Portland on , March 10 Oregon succeeded in placing a few men. Lyle Palmer took fourth ] place in the 100 yard dash and Little | field took third place in the 150 yard . dash. There was keen competition in t this meet with the half dozen teams t competing. t The next meet is scheduled for April 1 I t at the women's pool It will be a t dual meet between O. A C. and Oregon, y Mid will include both freshman and >1 vnrsitv teams. i! "Less than three weeks remain be- r fore this meet." says Coach Barnes, ' "which will be a very hard one and " it is absolutely essential that every 1 man gets out regularly until spring vu ' atiou. 1 will be glad to help any 1 freshman at 5 alone, and will work *' item with the varsitv at 5:15." s _I_ ' t Get the Classified Ad hubit. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Emerald from students and faculty members are Welcomed, but nust be signed and worded concisely If it is desired, the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. MOVE THE Y. M. C. A.? (Not written by a member or official f tfie “Y.”) 'o the Editor: Tlie clever ideas that some of us do ometimes' have! The Y. M. C. A., says ur latest genius, “should make plans to urate the present building as soon as t can redistribute its work.” It should lo*this “in the spirit of Christian serv ce” because some one believes the A. >. U. O. would like the building for a ocial center! A reasonable request to na.ke of one of the very largest organ zations on the campus, isn’t it? Well, we wonder! And we wonder ibout several things. In the first place ve wonder if the writer in the Sunday Imerahl lias had much experience in he Hut. According to him, it is now erving no good purpose. One would udge that it is held down by a narrow nimlod set of anti-social crabs." The ruth, as revealed by careful study, hows that it is used, nevertheless, by bout 200 students daily! And, contrary d the misleading statement of our critic, he.se are not nearly all Protestants, ’so of the Hut is not limited to Y. M. A. members. Does not the Sunday vriter know this? The fact is that the purpose in put ing the Hut on the campus was that it night serve the campus. It does this ocially, and religiously, as well as hrough its employment agency. Our Junday writer calls attention to the. 'act that it secures employment for al nost two-thirds of the self-supporting itudents. We call that pretty good, ■onsidering the number that hold down he same jobs year after year, or work u the residence halls, and so need no mtside help in placing. And as to its •eligious function, does the critic rea ize that the fact that we have a def nitely Christian organization on the ■ainpns has made friends for the Uni ersity among people of the state? We suggest this ulterior motive, since the aigher one of Christianity for itself loes not seem to appeal to our friend. Rut aside from defending the “Y” 'which defense is really not so very nec essary, considering that the organiza tion, has always been heartily backed by President Campbell and the A. S. U. O. officers) the Sunday suggestion eaves' a good deal unsaid. The writer remarks that “each year the Y. M. C. A. absorbs $5,300.” With a Student Union the University share of this could be applied for the good of the whole student body. But has it occur red to anyone that the $3,400 given by the “University community” is given because there are students and others who want a Christian organization en ough to spend that much for it? To iSKume that this same sum would be turned in to the student body other wise, seems to some of us to take a jood deal for granted. And, finally, wliat’s the use? The ‘Y” is open to all men students, at present. And is there a girl who would go there rather than to the Woman’s building, if she was asked? We have i building well-equipped for all social purposes at present—cjyi anyone feat ure the “Y” hut successfully rivaling Alumni hall, for purely social attract iveness, anyway? The Y. M. C. A. is cert inly justifying its presence on the campus—otherwise the student body and faculty would have long since ceas ed to give it their backing. We await, please, the next brilliant inspiration. SENIOR. AND NOW COME—EXAMS Fo the Editor: Once more we are entering upon the wrticipation in that amazing spectacle ivhich thrice marks the college year. Fhe stage is set, the ritual arranged, uid the University players with ama eur ease don an intellectual and in erested air to play-act the role of stu leut. The performance itself, though nomentous in its awful significance, 'ales in its interest when compared vith that furious, flurried period of 'reparation which foreruns it. Drowsy parrots that have been sleep ug on their perches now shift them elves, flutter and flap nervously, and at their eyes in an effort to sir up a ague and apathetic memory in the ope that .they will be able properly 0 parrot back the dull dronings which hey have been unable to escape during he past months. The paddocks and tables hum with excitement. Fiery lungers, Shetland ponies, anil massive Yrcherons take on a resplendent beau x'. Intrepid riders, anxious for their xvn safety, work for long hours—even uio the night—grooming, feeding, and addling their mounts. For those whose deadened spirits eed not the alarm, others urge and ex ert. Some are so devoid of a proper ppreeiatiou of values that they are liable to discern why they should now ry to do, in two weeks, that which hey should have done in the past ten.

Ince’s comedy farce, “Bellboy 13,” starring Douglas MacLean, who gained many new followers by his late success in “The Hottentot,” is the featured of fering at the Rex. An irate uncle with loads of money, a bondsalesman, just out of college, and a pretty girl with whom the “grad” is greatly in love, are the principal fun makers in this lat est luce picture. The boy turns bell hop, when his unde vetos the bonds of matrimony, the girl turns down the lovelorn lad and then the fun starts in earnest.
