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some respects out of date, have appointed a committee to under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. A. K.

CHYSTERS PLAY
“Tag! 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?

To Miller Bruin,
Sculpture Individual.
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

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. I

am sure the executive council will
find that the new magazine is
wanted. 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.
Tours truly,
