Morfitt An Institution Tluit’s Hard To Enter and Hard To Leave Twenty-seven men and six women llunked out of the Uni versity of Oregon during the fall quarter. Considering the dis ruption caused hv the influenza', epidemic and the constantly stiffened seholast'ic, requirements—the number of failures to make the necessary twelve hours of credit, is commendably small. In former years since the great, increases in number of "’entering freshmen became a perplexing problem lor the ad ministration—-the list of dropped students lias been appreciably larger. Of these, nineteen men n.nd four women were under classmen—a preponderance to be expected. Ninety-three lower division students,— (only 13 of whom were women) were placed on probation because they did not earn ten hours of credit. These facts are indicative that, although scholastic re quirements have undeniably been made stricter, the mental caliber and degree of application has unexpectedly proved to be proportionately higher than formerly—a very pleasing phe nomena. The University of Washington <1 id not enjoy such a situation. Three hundred and fifty-one students out of a'student body about twice as large as Oregon’s were dropped. It, is hard to enter either the Seattle institution or our own; it might seem to he harder to stay in the University of Wajdiington. Hut perhaps the inferior students of Oregon are more, carefully weeded out before ,t Iwy enter. Whatever the eftse, the high school guests to be entertained this week end at the High School conference might well be im pressed by the fact that it is as hard to get into the University of Oregon as it is to leave—providing one doesn’t get “the blue book blues.’’ Soap Situation Improves ; Emerald Takes Bow The holiday season jusl p.iist softened somewhat the tone of the hittor fooling aroused among the men on the campus by the men's gym ‘ soap scandal.” When the Emerald took up the banner and turned the powerful guns of publicity full force upon the brazen money grubbers who were paying fat dividends out of 11soap money it looked like a soapnss Christina,'-!. Keel ing ran high. Every night groups of angry collegians could be seen talking under the arc lights. Well, to be brief, the editorial board sensed (lie tenseness abroad on the campus and with its customary acumen went right to the heart of the problem. Perceiving tluet pressure must be brought to bear on the 1*. 10. department to force them to put out soap- the boated went into a short huddle. (Look up at the top of this column and try and imagine a problem that could resist the minds of those four men.) A wire was immediately dispatched to Herbert Hoover (he knows our Hurt) who was at (halt time down in South America. Herb wired back to wait until March 4th and he would solve our problem under the Undesirable Alien act. Well, when we showed that telegram to the I’. E. department they turned as white its a sheet and well, you kilo wtiie rest. We wish to make public acknowledgement also of the cute little gift package of Twenty (20) Mule Team Borax Soap Chips and the lovely bottle of disinfectant. Football loam Hack; IVhat Did It Do? The Oregon foot bull loam is hack from Hawaii. The Oregon footbu.ll team won two games in Hawaii. lint dial probably is the least important aspeet of the team's journey to the islands over tlie Christmas vueation. Twenty two football players carried the name of Oregon to all parts of the world, their feat in winning over the Honolulu All stars and the I ’niversity of Hawaii bringing them international publicity. And even the publicity which Oregon received as a result of the journey probably was not the most important accomplish ment of tin' team. Much talk has been heard of increasing friendliness in Pacific rebel ions and the term "good will" in relation to trips has become a descriptive adjective of usage as great as that of the word "normalcy’’ immediately alter the wur. The real success of the Oregon football team's trip to the Paradise of the Pacific lies in its tendency to bring the main land and the island into closer friendship, and the state of Oregon thus has a right to be proud of its football sons, not only for their physical prowess, but for their less spectacular but more lasting achievement New Drive Begins Today For Oregana Subscription; (Cp»tinuni from 1’nyn Oik) t<■ mil-ij tn baturday, nuiumuiial l>i ana M^iningei', «»|itor of suroritins vi’tioii, an.l Caival Nrtsoii, i*<iiti«i of tiae wiUuu, oi tUo yearbook.

IS THE EMERALD ABOUT TO BECOME AN AFTERNOON PAPER? j CIRCULATION DEPT. SETS NEW RECORD It was thought last year that a stnding record had been set when j all campus Emeralds w<4c delivered j by 2:00 p. m, but it seems that even tlie best of records can be broken. ! Yesterday the last Emerald was dc i livered by 4:00 p. m. Another record was broken by ; the circulation department yester day when lithe first Emerald of the j school year was delivered at the i Delt farm. From now on the Emeralds will be on hand for perusal after the even ing meal on the same day as pub lished.

Tito Specs have a new house rule to t)ie effect that their frosh must go out of the house in threes ami fours. This was neeessitated by the fact that every time one of them went out alone the Theta Chi upper classmen would beat him up and take his pledge pin away from him so they could wear it.

They are in elei - trinity, physics, and physical chem istry. Three fellowships of $400 each, and six scholarships of $200 each are offered “distinguished gradu ates” of colleges and universities by the Sage school of philosophy and psychology. Applications for these awards should be in the office of the Cornell graduate school be fore March 15. Diplomacy, international affairs, and belles-lettres are the subjects for five fellowships of- $1,000 each offered by New York university to students who have preferably had a full year of graduate work. A lim ited number of other fellowships in the biological sciences, English, gov ernment, history, psychology, and sociology, ranging in value from $500 to $1,000, are open to graduate students. The Rhodes scholarship, which will be awarded again next year, should be kept in mind by those as piring to try out at that time, Dr. Rebec says. He suggests that pos sible candidates plan their courses and do their reading in order to be as fully prepared ns possible when the tryouts are held. 1 lurteen r rosh Are Selected In Debate Tryouts Federal Control of Water Power Argued; Horner Selects All Speakers ViJlarct assembly echoed and re echoed yeserday afternoon with “I have conclusively proved,” “there fore,” “fallacious argument,” when 111 men tried out for places on the freshman debate squad. Thirteen were chosen by J. K. Horner, debate coach. They are: Roger Tfoff, majoring in pre-law, Portland; Wal ter Evans, pre-law, Portland; Mer lin Blais, journalism, Eugene; Wal lace Campbell, sociology, Eugene; David Wilson, journalism, Portland; Hobart Wilson, pro-law, Spring field; Wallace Baker, pre-law, Stan field; Robert Miller, pre-law, Pen dleton; Art Adams, pre-medics, Portland; James Landreth, econom ies, Baker; John Long, pro-law, Roseburg; Arthur Potwin, pre-law, Albany. Experience of the debaters ranges all the way from two and three years in high school debate through class contests to no experience at all. It is from the freshman squad lhal new material for the varsity is recruited each year. Frequently interrupted by English instructors going to and from their offices, the L‘> aspirants proved and disproved and proved again that the federal government should own and control (lie water power resources of the United States. “Private con trol always leads, to monopoly;” ! high rates would be eliminated; the 1 present service is satisfactory; new bureaus, a host of offices would have to lie established to control the proposed project; the rates are lower now than they could be ex pccted to be under government own ership; the public debt would be I more thuu doubled; inefficiency and I log-rolling in congress would be the | result of government control—these were some of the arguments ad vanced. In addition to debates witli Paci fic, Willamette, Ashland Normal, hiafield, and Albany college, Coach J. K. Horner plans a debate with a team from the University of Wash ington. The freshman men's proposition j this year will be the same as that J of the varsity—"Resolved, that the j jury system should be abolished.” r Turning..

And then there was Ole Larson, the trim Swede, who ran the “100” consistently in 10 flat on Bill Hay ward’s track teams anil Arthur Tuck, the Olympic javelin heaver, who also wore Oregon’s colors in the pentathlon in coast meets. A brief glimpse was also given of Del Obertcuffer tearing off a fast 220 to win the varsity honors. In those days, the ghost cinema showed, the fresh and sophs made their mixes more like a Junior Vod-vil or “College Night” with stunts and girls.’ singing contests and less like the popular idea of fraternity initiations, where paddies fail furiously, supposedly. Wind Proves too Short Too many Fatimas (tobacco var iety) kept the class footballists from approaching vArsity calibre. A good statistician among the ghosts estimated that it took 5,41IT cigar ettes to bring about the puffing and blowing of the fraternityites during the games. The ghost audience cheered as I’roe Flanagan, for atimine the champion broad - jumper on the const, did Lis stuff, or when big Tom Straehan heaved the weights an inch further than the opposition shot putter. They also remembered the cold spring day when Myrrn, file great javelin liurler from Finland, nearly broke bis own world’s record while a handful of students looked on in awe at the graceful athlete. He threw it 205 feet that day. 1 be spectral celluloid moved on.
