Grades Symbols,
Not the End .
A recent test of literary judgment
given in the English department
showed there was considerable di
vergence between the critical abili
ty and the usual grades of the stu
dent. The recommendation of on :
instructor that the usual ten min
utes quizzes generally given for rat
ing the student be used only as a
teaching device and that grabs he
piimarily based on daily work is a
suggestion which might well be util
ized by other departments of the
University.
After all, the real object of the
test should be to demonstrate
whether or not the professor has
“pit across’’ his subject matter to
the class. ,Short tests ca,u only
touch on a few high lights and give
no real indication of the thorough
ness of tho student nor itimo for or
iginal thought. In fact, tho student
who answers glibly in the words of
the instructor is more apt to rate
high than the one given tu careful
analysis.
If tho time ordinarily devoted
to answering quizzes were dovoiei.
to class recitation on questions the
students prepared for each other,
there would bo some real interest
created iu the mastery of a subject
for one’s own satisfaction instead
of merely to impress the presiding
power. What the University needs
is a keener devotion to learning and
not to some inadequate symbol such
aa a grade.

SENIOR Lonp Week isn’t tho fun
it’s cracked up to bo, because

Of course seniors know tho oc

that the men and women exchange

therefore doesn’t bring with it full
enjoyment.
Besides being uupsychological,
Leap Week customs are even a little
embarrassing. Even the most flap
perisli of tho flappers feel a certain
shyness in asking men for dates and
many of them will refrain from the
festivities merely because of the
backwardness they feel at taking
the lead. Who knows but what the

Donut Sports
Real Sport
DONUT sports make athletic
competition possible for men
who either lack the time or the abil
ity, necessary I'm; candidates seeking
berths on varsity teams. The pro
gram has earned a place among stu
dent activities because it has proved
to be of real value to the Oregon
ca mpus.
The barring from participation
of men who have earned letters in
tiio various sports on the donut pro
gram has made for teams of nearer
equal strength representing the or
ganizatious, so that the chances of
winning have improved for all.
Competition between groups has

manner and serves to bring the men
of the opposing teams into better
relationship with each other. All

r ports would lose, most of their ap
peal, for without the element of
coiflpetition, sports woujd be in
much 'the same category as sys
tematic. exercises, efficacious but
scarcely zestful. •
Several donut baseball games
were played yesterday under condi
tions which were anything but favor
able. Haiti turned the playing fields
in to veritable quagmires and the
games were far from being exhibi
tions of scientific baseball, yet. no
one seemed to mind. Father than
bemoan defeat, the losers laughpd
about their errors .and shortcomings,
ami began to lay plans for the next
trial. The dollar sign has no role
.in donut sports. Such a condition,
common to all donut teams, has
made the intramural sports program
a going and worth-while concern.
