More Evidence in
The Grade Situation
A new set of figures computed from the departmental segre
gation of grades released recently by the registrar adds new
evidence to support the contention that the University grading
system now in use is laboring under serious defects. ,
The list btdow, instead of calculating the percentages of I’s,
II’s, etc., gives the average grade awarded by each department,
offering positive proof of the leniency or severity of the respec
tive divisions. Professional and non-professional schools are
listed separately: '

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Withdrawn . 5.14

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, #

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:

4:00-6:00—Woman’s lepigue t<)a,

ing.
Friday, November 20
2:00—Railroad officials meeting,

Saturday, November 21
9:00—Sophomore Informal.
(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.
