Business office phone, 181:5.__ Concerning Student Interest In Constitutional Revisions The student and executive councils, finding the constitution of the Associated Students to be somewhat antiquated and in some respects out of date, have appointed a committee to under take the revision of this instrument, and the Emerald wishes them success. No announcement has. been made concerning the changes contemplated, but this will be done in due time, .and the revised edition will be published. It is to be hoped that students will take this matter seri ously, that they will read this proffered revision carefully and painstakingly, and that when the time comes to cast their bal lots they will vote intelligently, but it is very probable that they will do none of these things. The average student does not know what the present constitution contains, what it pro vides for, or whether or not it is adequate, nor does he care. Some campus statistician might produce some interesting figures if he were to query, say the first hundred students he might meet on some question concerning this same constitution, such, as, “Wherein do the duties of the student council and the executive council differ?’’ or “Who pays the graduate man ager?’’—H. A. K. The “Unusual” Student The limiting of enrollment by examination and more rigor ous entrance requirements is necessary and even imperative; the elimination of poor students via the term grade sheet is perhaps the only thing to do, and the expulsion of those who do not conduct themselves according to existing standards may be all very good, but it might be well to consider a point or two bearing on the matter. One of Oregon’s more rftcent winners of the Rhodes scholar ship was the despair of his instructors during his first two years and as a freshman narrowly escaped failure. Shelley left Oxford by request, although we are not told whether or not the authorities informed him that if lie “withdrew they would do nothing to hinder him from entering other schools.” Stephen Crane and Edgar Allen Poe also were victims of fac ulty disapproval, and perhaps very justly were cast out some what before graduation. Others could be named. While considering the construction of machinery of elim ination, it must be remembered that those who have it in them to achieve greatness do not always show marked scholastic brilliance in their early years and besides, that they ofttimes exhibit a marked tendency to follow their own paths toward learning, and to even rebel at times against existing standards and the molds fixed for them by those in authority. Again, the difference between them and ordinary students may be merely that they, having greater potentialities, exhibit their faults in a rather strong and deceptive manner, while the average student makes his mistakes in a rathei avciage and indecisive way and attracts little attention. Standards must be maintained, and undesirables must be let out for the good of the university, but certain human ele ments should be taken into consideration, both in the choice of entering students and the elimination of incompetents and those who persist in jumping the fences.—II.

Your it!” This is the clarion call that rang out merrily from the open field opposite Condon Hall Sat urday where the law majors disported. Believing that only rumbunctious play can fully re lieve the fever of their brows after a morning of intense study amid the dusty volumes of Blackstone, these future barristers throw1 aside their books, and racing over to their playground, indulge in all sorts of. rowdiness. Squat tag was the menu last Saturday, and Ted Tamba, Bob Mautz, Sherm Smith and Frank Mayer were the contestants. Mautz was “it” more than anyone else, as it took him longer to get down to a full squat than the others. Judging from the interest of the crowd, the game was worthy of mention. Why not enter it among the minor sports, and get the sports writers busy? * # * 1915 (And Maybe Less) His arm went round her slender waist, She coyly raised her head; “Your form,” he said, “is quite divine.” “Of corset is,” she said.

Pear Miller: Art is something I know about as much about as a speckled trout knows how to play an aecordian, but I do know that a picture, or a statue, that resembles something it is supposed to resemble is all right with me. What T would like to know is about this impressionistic stuff, or whatever they call it. Last night a friend of mine took me up to the exhibit of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors which included pieces of some of the ladies who are un doubtedly going to have their names handed down to publicity as the greatest painters America ever produced. This friend showed me a picture labeled “Portrait of a Lady,” or something like that. There was a lot of paint on the picture. Much more than is usual on anything save the windward side of a cow stable. The picture itself resembles a cross between a dish of chop suev a storm off Florence, Oregon. There seemed to be some thing in the background that looked like a porpoise in distress. I’ve seen others of these master pieces. One in particular called “The Cruisader.” There was some something that might have been a wind-swayed tree in the left fore ground. The rest of the canvas re motely resembled a four-masted schooner under full sail, floating upside down among some cyclone clouds with a couple of things that looked like turkey buzzards trying to peck holes in the gallant old craft. Miller, if this sort of thing goes for art why don’t you sculptures try it out? Seems to me it would be a lot of fun. You could put up a target some wheres in your room, invite your friends in, furnish them with a lot of ammunition in the form of balls of clay and let them heave them at the target. At the end of the evening you would have a futurist statute all made. You could label it any thing, under this higher art idea, and if the friends and the clay held out you could have a statue every evening. I think that these National Wom en Associators just mixed up a bucket of paint of assorted colors, like a coss makes vegetable soup, and then shoots it at a canvas with a hose. Then they invite their friends in and have them guess what the title of the picture is, and some body guesses “A Storm at Sea,” and it looks as much like that as anything else, and, presto, that’s what it becomes. As above mentioned, I like things to look like they’re labeled. I may not be artistic, but that’s the way I feel about it, and your statues and busts and things look like the things they are meant to be, so I’m for you, Miller, and I’m going to invite you to my birthday party I’m going to have sometime next term. Yours admiringly, JIM , Commun ' ications To the Editor: After reading the last published articles in the Emeralds of last Thursday and Friday, for and against the new campus magazine, I am more firmly convinced than ever that the magazine should get the decision. If judged as a de bate, we will find that the backers of the new magazine have done mi nute research work of a definite and tangible character. I believe they have put it across to the student body in such a way that the stu dents will back it. The executive council, as opposition, has presented very little research work of a def inite character, depending mostly on rather pessimistic supposition. I think you will find that the student body as a judge will decide unani mously in favor of the new publica tion. Why should we have the new magazine ? It will be a proper out let for the work coming from the pens of our thinkers and coming story writers. I believe a great deal of real literary talent will be stirred up and found, and with the pub licity of their work in the maga zine, it will serve as a stimulus and as an encouragement toward greater effort. Let’s give the young writ ers a chance. They write good ar ticles which are worth reading. In a study of the various departments, we find the education students get ting practice and encouragement by teaching in some of the Eugene schools; law students attending court proceedings down town, then putting on a mock trial for practice and encouragement; music students taking part in recitals to help them in their problems. Why should we not have a campus magazine for the expressions of the real literary tal ent which we have on the campus? The fact that the best literary ar ticles are published in outside magazines is proof enough that the articles written are of a fine, high class nature. This is all the more reason why the new magazine would be an assured success because we have the talent to build upon. Let us have more expressions of attitudes from the student body.

True, it is a big undertak ing, but I feel the enthusiasm of those vitally concerned with its success and the student body will convince the council that there is a present need for the magazine.
