Professional and non-professional schools are listed separately: ' Professional Schools Average Grades Physical Education, Men .. Journalism . Business Administration . Law .-. Physical Education, Women . Architecture . Education . Sociology .•'. Normal Arts .'.. Fine Arts .. Music . Total . *.... 3.30 . 3.20 . 3.12 . 3.05 . 2.89 . 2.86 . 2.84 . 2.81 . 2.69 . 2.64 . 2.23 . 2192 Non-Professional Schools Average Grades Political Science . Economics .. Philosophy . Chemistry ... History . Romance Languages .i. English ... Household Arts .-. German . Mathematics . Physics .. Psychology . Botany . Geology .-. Zoology . Greek ... Drama ... Latin . Military ... Total . The University Avorago Grade... 4.33 3.45 3.40 3.34 3.20 3.23 3.21 3.15 3.13 3.12 3.02 2-97 2178 2.77 2.77 2.72 2.42 2.20 2.18 3.09 3.02 These statistics are indeed conclusive. A moment’s scrutiny will demonstrate that a wide variance in grading policies exists between the various departments. Judging from the above table the average student registered in Music, Military or Latin will receive a grade two whole points higher than the average student enrolled in the Political Science department. A great number of departments apparently are consistent in marking one point or more higher. It should be pointed out that high grades in the Greek and Latin departments are probably a fair indication of the quality of work being done, as in most cases the assumption might be made that the enrollment is composed for the most part iof stu dents who are preparing for teaching positions. It should be noted also that a report of grades for the fall term would undoubtedly present a somewhat different set of figures, as the percentage of failures is much larger in the fall than in the spring. Very little difference seems to exist in the average of pro fessional and non-professional schools, although the professional schools report slightly higher grades. By regrouping the figures in the registrar’s report the var iance in these two groups is displayed: Professional I . 9.43 II . 24.39 III . 33.28 IV . 14.73 V . 5.07 F . 4.12 Incomplete . 3.28 Withdrawn . 5.14 JN on-iroToaatonai 9.49 21.54 27-85 18.64 9.37 4.12 2.05 0.86 Thus it will be seen that professional school grades average slightly higher. The only conclusions that might be deducted from this situation, as someone has suggested, are that profes sional school professors grade higher, or else the professional school students are slightly more intelligent. Incidentally, the Emerald is not prepared to defend the latter proposition. The significance of these figures lies in their substantiation of the contention previously made that serious defects are ham pering the present grade system; and that as long as Jthe pres ent situation prevails the University grades will not gire a truthful report of a student’s scholastic attainments. Homecoming Committee Congratulated by Executive Secretary The Emerald is in receipt of a note from the Executive of-1 fires of the University. It reads: To the Editor of the Emerald. 'On behalf of the University administration, and 1 am sure I ran include also members of the general staff, I should like to express to the students our compliments on the splendid Homecoming this year. The extensive ar rangements for earing for so many guests, and the prep arations of so varied and entertaining a program, requir ed an immense amount of planning and labor, for which the general chairman, his assistants, and committee mem bers are entitled to much praise. The pleasure of alumni and other guests at the fine hospitality shown them was evident: 1 am sure they would wish to join in this word of appreciation. Sincerely yours, # ' K HvL W.

Communications To the Editor:— In yesterday’s Emerald, there were two communications that seem to demand explanation from a less biased viewpoint. To the thoughtful senior, who champions the faculty, I would rec ommend a closer scrutiny of facul ty publications. A quotation from the Faculty Bulletin of September 28, 1825 is sufficient to prove that the student administration is an-] xious to extend every courtesy to the faculty. Tho following an-1 uouucement appeared in that issue: Students Ticket Privilege Pootbal!—Concerts & Emerald The above fqotball schedule I Coming Events Wednesday, November 18 4:00-6:00—Woman’s lepigue t<)a, Woman’s building. 8:30—Recital, Music auditorium.

(referring to Oregon’s schedule of 1925) in the student’s section, one semester is subscription to the Emerald, and the Anna Case Concert are offered to faculty members at regular student fee cost of $5.25. (Fall semester.) In answer to the second communi cation, I .will say that student of ficials are always open to construc tive criticism but it is impossible to profit by vague and unjust charges. However, to clarify any erroneous ideas about the adminis tration of student affairs, some ex planation is forthcoming. In the first place the new grand stand seats but 4282 people and not 5,000. In a crowd such as has never been assembled at a football contest in the state before, 718 seats would have been a salvation, and especially covered seats. It is true that the new structure would have held the entire study body but Oregon students paid nothing extra for the game. O. A. C. stu dents paid 50c and others paid $1.50, $2, and $2.50. With an in debtedness such as the student body faces, as a result of the original in vestment on Hayward Field, free seats should be just as few as pos sible at games, especially when seats are in big demand. There were seats for every student. It is true that some were not, covered but a great majority of the stu dent bodies of the country watch their teams from stadiums with no thought of cover. Admitting that women should not sit in the rain when there were men under cover, I failed to see any heroic rooters, who have joined the critic in voic ing an opinion, offering their seats to those in need. Oregon men could have given yells in the rain for they have done it for years. There would have been sufficient seats for everyone under cover if students, who had not needed their tickets, would have kept them. But the rooting section was full of peo ple that are not in school and stu dent tickets are not for “alums.” As for several alumni, including a man on crutches, being forced to see the game from the mud between the section#, it may be remember ed that that particular place was for rooters only. The alumni sec tion was section B in the. old grand stand. Every alumnus received an application blank early in the sea son giving ample opportunity to secure a seat for the game, if de sired. No one person handled the seat ing arrangement at the game. There was a student committee ap pointed to decide pn the location of the various sections. There was a coed on this committee. If any information is desired concerning the expenditure of funds of the A. S. II. O. it can be obtain ed by requesting a copy of the “An nual* Report of the Treasurer” at the graduate manager’s office. Two copies of this report were sent to every living organization on the campus. Even before yesterday’s (Com munications appeared, a meeting was held to diseuss the game with the idea of collecting facts that would help to handle next year’s crowd. Again let it be known that con structive suggestions are always welcome but unfounded criticism by uninformed people serve no pur pose. KENNETH STEPHENSON Chairman Finance Com.
