With the granting of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter to the cam pus, last year, and with the new grade-point system working out successfully, the student is at last coining into his own. It has always been rather paradoxical up to this time that the good student in an institution, which has as its main function the dissemination of learning, has received much less credit than the most lowly athlete in the smallest of minor sports. It -was not many years ago, in fact, that brilliant students weie looked upon as freaks. Kver to mention classes or study, except dur ing examination week, immediately labelled one as a grind. Nowadays it is different. In addition to receiving the deeper benefits of scholastic accomplishments, which always go to a student by virtue of his labor and which is not added to or de tracted from by what anyone else thinks about it, scholars are now recognized by their fellows, with much the same admira tion that the successful athlete used to receive. To possess a Phi Beta Kappa key, or even to he on the scholastic honor roll for a term or two, is rating as much public attention, and means as much to the successful student, as a University sports letter does to an athlete. It is gratifying to know that before a man can win a I'niversity letter he must have come up to certain scholastic standards. There is not always justice in the working out of the eligibility rules, but the fundamental idea is a good one. Public recognition for either athletics or scholastic attain ment does not guarantee success in life away from the campus. In fact, there are notable instances every year of campus lead ers who are comparative failures after graduation. No amount of recognition can replace the work which will be necessary to reach the top of the world Outside the campus. The type of people who were honored with election to Phi Beta Kappa, this year, shows that Oregon is producing a large group of students who have been able to do well in their studies as well as serving their fellows in campus activity. This means well-rounded personalities and indicates that a great many of them should be able to attain worth-while things in the years to come. Examination schedules are just out, reminding the campus that the days of reckoning are again just around the corner— in fact June 11, the beginning of the end, is just three weeks from today. Uood weather and the unusually large amount of activity on the campus has caused a distinct slowing down of scholastic endeavor. Leaders in the Student Lnion campaign were assured that they would be given some special consider ation on account of the time they spent in "kicking off" the Gift Campaign. The drive cannot excuse more than a small part of the spring-term delinquency, however, and many students have hard work ahead if they wish to make a creditable show ing for the term. On the front page of this issue is a statement from the ath letic director concerning eligibility rules for athletes. Oregon athletes are subject to the same rules as other members of the Conference. Students who are interested in the athletic situa tion should read what Mr. Earl has to say. PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS The Emerald Aisle By Enigma The copy was late and Peter, my office spark, and I 'were busy far past dinner time. By the time we finally got started we were so hungry we could have found the abdominal capacity for even a col lege professor’s brains. So we waited down on the corner for the car. It seemed to us that we waited far beyond that day when they say the airplane will take the place of street cars. Finally the old, blunder bus came reeling and crunching down street. An old lady had beem waiting there with us and so we permitted her to enter the car first because she ashed it of us in such a lady-like manner. JUST THEN THE 25 EMPLOY EES OF THE KOCKADERTZIG CORKSCREW COMPANY, WHO HAD FINISHED WORK, CAME FOAJMING UP FOR THE NIGHT LY CAR RIDE AND A CORKING GOOD CREW THEY LOOKED TO BE. As the old woman entered the car she took a large sewing bag from off her arm and said to the con ductor, “Really, I think these are the funniest cars I have ever seen. Back in Missourv, we get on the back end insteaa of the front. Did you ever try any of those kind?” “Your fare please, ladysaid the conductor. “Yes, I’m com ing to it right soon now, mister. I thought I had it right handy here. You know my brother and his family live here and I just came out from the Missouri) to fee what kind of a wife he’s got. You didn’t think I was from that part of the count'll, did you?" # # # Now she took out a smaller bag— a by-product of the larger one. Out of that came her purse. Peter and I and our followers were seriously thinking of resort ing to canibalistic methods of satis | fying our abnormal cravings for food. Twenty minutes of her part relations iciclt mankind, had this dear old lady related to the an xious group now, as she opened her purse she handed the ‘in ductor a tend dollar bill. AS THE PERSPIRATION FLOWED ACROSS THE DIS COURAGED LOOK ON HIS FACE. THE CONDUCTOR QUICKLY HANDED BACK HER $9.94 CHANGE. “Please tell me when you come to Fortieth street, conductor,” squeaked the old lady. “We do not go past Fortieth street,” re turned the conductor, “we pass only the streets toward t.lio south.” “Oh, dear," she re-squeaked, “IVhy didn’t you tell me this was the wrong ear. I’m guile liable to be late for dinner after this length of time. I shall ee> t a inly report you to the company, sir,” and ./she finally alighted from the ear. As for Peter and myself, we had In the meantime gone over to the corner grocery and purchased our selves a banana apiece, the skins of which we tlmew directly in front of the streetcar. AS the car started, we stepped upon the peels and were crushed by the wheels. There’s a fellow in Indiana who had the chance of a lifetime the other day.

The students seem to be about as thoroughly divided on the subject as the faculty with a little stronger leaning on their part toward things as they are.

(e) No freshman football games shall be scheduled after the sec ond Saturday before Thanksgiv ing.

His illegal playing shall count as a year of participation in that sport. (b) In the event a contestant has played in a conference game on any conference team and afterwards be found ineligible by the advisory committee, the game shall be forfeited to the other contending team or teams. The offending institution may, upon vote of the conference, be put upon probation for one year.” Section 26, article “j” pertains to the exchange of lists of eligible players, and reads as follows: Certificates of eligibility signed by the registrar and the chair man of the faculty athletic com mittee, or other faculty repre sentative to the Pacific coast in tercollegiate athletic conference shall be exchanged by competing institutions not later than 10 days prior to the contest. Said certificates shall contain each contestant’s name, home address, preparatory school and college, if transferred, and num ber of years in residence, and number of seasons of participa tion in that sport, also certifica tion of eligibility under each and every clause of these rules and regulations. Together with the general eligibility list from each institution shall go a state ment of what remunerative occu pation each certified member may be engaged in or expects to be engaged in during the college year, together with amount of time and wage per hour. The eligibility certificate is ar- J ranged in columns, each column1 headed as follows: (1) Name, (2) home address, (3) preparatory school, (4) trans ferred from, (5) date first regis tered, (6) date last registered, (7) credit at entrance, (8) years registration to date, (9) hours , passed, (10) hours failed, (11) ! hours in normal curriculum, (12) ! hours passed last quarter, (13) J hours registered now, (14) sea- j sons of participation, (15) • re munerative occupation, (16) employer, (17) hours per week, (18) wage per hour.

In case he should inadvertently certify to a man who is ineligible, it is still within the province of the secretary of the conference to remove the name, or it is within the province of any other member of the coast conference to raise the question of the eligibility of an athlete miscertified to. The infor mation on the eligibility certificate is the athlete’s complete record and is open to the scrutiny of all members of the conference. In conclusion it might be said that each member of the confer ence files the same kind of a cer tificate of eligibility which is cer tified to by the registrar and the chairman of the faculty athletic committee, which certificate con tains the complete and accurate record of the student in college. This certificate of eligibility is not an innovation, it is uniform, is sent out and received by all mem bers of the conference.
