_ -__O '
Hail to the Scholar!
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.

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.

Christmas until spring vacation,
while the introduction of final ex

after Christmas vacation would
break into the arrangement. Then
the Easter vacation would be an
interruption in the middle of the
term’s work.
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.

may compete in freshman contests,
under the following limitations:
(a) So far as applicable, the
above rules governing varsity

the penalty for breach of any of
the eligibility rules shall be dis

(b) In the event a contestant

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

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

The eligibility certificate is ar- J

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

mittee, who generally rules out the
name of the athlete who docs not
meet the eligibility requirement.
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.
