Examinations
Feverish “cramming” is actually harmful to the student who
wants to make the best possible showing in final examinations,
now only a few days away. A certain amount of systematic re-!
view has proved highly desirable, however, according to the *
testimony of many of Oregon’s most successful scholars.
Now is the time to do that reviewing and to catch up the
loose ends of unfinished work that must be done before .the
term’s work can be called complete. By concentrated effort
some students will actually save themselves from scholastic dis
aster, this week-end, while others will raise their standings
materially.
Although this is supposed to be a closed week-end certain
social events will be held. If you feel that your work is top
notch, then getting away from the grind and enjoying a social
evening or two will doubtless put you in a good state of mind
for the coming days of examination. If there are still things to
be done; if reviewing would be helpful; if work generally needs
rounding out, this week-end would be a good time to do; it. In
fact it’s your only chance.
It’s up to you. The “scandal sheet” will answer any ques
tions as to the wisdom of your decision.
Thinking Campus?
A critic has objected to our editorial on a “thinking cam
pus.” He says professors snickered when reading of a supposed
increase in mental activity among our students.
This critic intimates that to doubt is to think. The skeptic
of the student body he would credit with superior cerebral
powers. lie cites Englishmen as examples of those who take
issue with the propositions presented by the dons. These cousins
of ours seem to the critic to be real thinkers.
It occurs to us that if students do take enough exception to
statements of Oregon’s professors, it is not so much the fault of
the students as it is the fault of the professor, or perhaps of the
the educational system. Some professors impart their informa
tion with immutable certitude. To dispute their statements is
to insult and provoke them.
On the other hand, we are here to learn, to receive the bene
fits of scholastic minds overflowing with knowledge for us.
These men or women are highly trained in their lines.
Students have a place to maintain. Should they not look up
to those superior intellects, be eager to take what they have to
give without “biting the hand that feeds them ?
This seems to be the American attitude. What a professor
says goes. Far be it from us to take exception.
The critic goes on to say that what leads ns to believe we
have a “thinking campus” is the fact that we must work harder
and study more to keep pace with the increased scholastic,
standards. But increased study, we believe, means added thought
application. The more a person studies, the greater are the
chances lie will apply himself from the very foundation of his
growing mind.
So Mr. Critic, if you scoff at our contention, you yourself
do not stop to think. Perhaps some of the rest of us have not
your capacity for cogitation, but by going to school and study
ing hard we are learning how to think more efficiently.

Communications
Letters to the EMERALD from stu
dents and faculty members are
welcomed, but must be signed and
worded concisely. If it is desbed, the
writer’s name will be kept out of
print. It muBt be understood that the
editor reserves the right to reject
communications.
-———-O
To the Editor—
I writo this to tell you how much
I was gratified by the editorial in
the Emerald in regard to Hunting
ton. Parts of it were reprinted in
the San Francisco Journal. I know
nothing with regard to Huntington’s
record, but I do know that the tone
of the editorial was just and honor
able.
The question is—Do university
sports, exist for the benefit of the
students or for the satisfaction of
the rah, rah sporty element of the
alumni? Are university activities to
bo arranged for tho recreation and
pleasuro of the student body or
organized on A\ sJcmi-profe:|siDttal,
commercial basis?
It would seem that the faculty
and students of an institution are
competent to know what they want
and what they should get, ,but at
present, for the most part, the gen
eral tendency is for the alumni to
tell both parties where they aro to
get off.

FACULTY WOMEN ARE
VOLLEY ENTHUSIASTS
Barbara Page is Directing Class
Each Monday; May Meet
O. A. C. Players
Much enthusiasm is being shown
bv the faculty women over volley
ball. An average of ten women play
every Monday night at 7:d0 in the
Woman's building under the in
structions of Miss Barbara Page,
of the physical education depart
ment. Never before have so many
women shown an interest in a sport
as they have shown this year.
Though 10 play each night, about
IS have turned out altogether. The
rules are taught and have to be
obeved. "We play right, you see,”
said Miss Edgington, one of the
"enthusiasts.” She also said that
the game was wholly new to about
three fourths of the players. There
is some talk of proposing a game
with the O. A. t\ faculty women.
Those who have turned out for
practice tire: Miss Margaret Mac
gregor, of the health service; Miss
Florence Magowan, the V. W. A.
secretary; Florence lute, Lois
Gray, llenriette Gouy, all of the
romance language department!;
Florence Alden, Emma Waterman,
Lillian Stupp, Barbara Page. Gert
rude Manchester, all of the P. E.
department; Mildred Hawes. Eng

QUESTIONS TO COME
BEFORE LEAGUE TODAY
Women to Discuss Plans for Sending
Delegate to Convention
at Indianapolis
The regular business meeting of^
the Women’s league will be held
this afternoon at 5 o’clock, in Pro
fessor Howe’s room, Yillard. Sev
eral matters in which the women
of the University are concerned are
to be discussed at this time.
The league is planning to unite
with the Y. W. C. A. and the faculty
women in sending a delegate to the
student volunteer convention, to be
held in Indianapolis, December 28
to January 3. Mary Bartholomew
will attend as a representative of
the University women. The part to
be taken by the Women’s league
will be definitely decided this after,
noon. ,
Arrangements are also to be made
for entertaining the representatives
from high school girls’ leagues, who
are to be included in the confer
ence "of high school representatives
on the campus, January 11 and 12.
Schools which do not have girls’
leagues will be asked to send a
representative and they will be
given suggestions and assistance to
ward forming organizations. These
are to be included instead of the
secretaries of student bodies as in
the past.
A large attendance at this meet
ing is urged.
WINTER TERM CLASSES
TO BEGIN JANUARY 2
Shorter Christmas Vacation Makes
Spring Term End This
Year on June 13
Classes will begin winter term on
Wednesday morning, January 2, ac
cording to information given out by
the president’s office. This makes
it necessary for many students to
return to the campus on New Year’s
day.
Although this seems hard on stu
dents who wish to spend New
Year’s at home, students will bene
fit by it at the end of the school
year. Karl Ontliank pointed out
that by doing away with registra
tion at the beginning of winter and
spring terms and having recitations
on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day at the beginning of winter
term the University will be enabled
to close one week earlier than it
ever has before. Last year the
school year ended June 25 and this
year it will close practically two
weeks earlier. Exams will be ended
on .June 13 and commencement will
end Juno 16.
Early closing will also be a bene
fit in arranging the summer session.
The way the schedule is arranged
now, there is a week’s recess be
tween the close of spring term and
the opening of summer school. This
is a benefit to instructors and.does
away with much confusion.

CONFERENCE AGAINST
HIRING OF ATHLETES
Oregon Offers No Probems
At Berkeley Meet
p Oregon’s part in the Pacific coast
conference meeting at Berkeley was
one of common coordination and dis
cussion, from the report of Jack j
Benefiel, graduate manager of the A. i
S. TJ. O. Benefiel, together with Vir- j
gil Earl, athletic director, and Pro-1
fessor H. C. Howe, were Oregon’s
delegates to the conference which was
held last week end,
“Contrary to the opinion of many
people the Pacific coast conference
is becoming a stronger organization
all the time’’ says Benefiel. “This
year the University of Washington
and the Naval Academy have suc
ceeded in getting complete control
of the Tournament of Boses at Pasa
dena. Heretofore as when Oregon
played Harvard for instance, the
thing has been entirely commercial
ized and the visiting teams have made
no more than expenses. This time it
will be entirely under the charge of
the two student bodies. The Tour
nament of Boses will merely get the
field in order and receive the rental
price for the field.’’
The conference took a decided
stand against hiring and proselyting
athletes. They made ineligible for
participation in athletic events any
man pledged by a fraternity before
entering college. |Any athletes trans
fering and having difficulty in es
tablishing their position and eligi
bility were ruled ineligible.
“Oregon had no particular battle
on h8r hands this time,” says Bene
fiel. “She had no personal cause to
uphold nor was she in any way at
tacked. ’ ’
The admittance of the University
of Montana at the last conference
meeting raises the number of confer
ence members to nine. They include
Unifersity of California, Univer
sity of Southern California, Stanford,
University of Oregon, Oregon Agri
cultural college, University of Wash
ington, Washington State college,
University of Idaho and University
of Montana.
