Who Says It’s an Honor?
>vn THE! campus of the University of Oregon one may find an ex
V-J tremely hard-working group of underclassmen. The members
usher at games, spend their time doing odd jobs for the associated
students, and help now and then with the enforcement of some ol
Oregon’s traditions.
On looking more deeply into the situation we find that they are
called the “Oregon Knights.” The membership is made up each year
by new recruits chosen from the freshman class by each living organi
zation. To some extent it was originally designed to be an honor.
But is it now an honor to be an “Oregon Knight”? We can readily
say that it is neither an honor nor a dishonor, but merely the luck
of being one of the “guys” chosen to help with certain routine work.
Undoubtedly we may be correct when wo remind the student body
that the reason for the failure of this organization to maintain its
position of honor among student groups is the matter of election to
membership. Needless to say that a living group will often place one
of their more backward men within the folds of the sophomore "hon
orary” to give him a start and help him in future'activities. Many
times he fails to come through with further advancement does not
even add to the organization of which he lias been made a member.
MEMBEIRSHIP IN AN ORGANIZATION CANNOT BE AN
HONOR UNLESS OUTSTANDING MEIN COMPOSE ITS ROLL.
The local group is a member of the Intercollegiate Knights, a
national organization. Unless all connections are severed with this
association it will be impossible to change this undesirable practice of
membership. The Emerald emphatically suggests that these connec
tions be broken that a new organization be formed to fulfill its
duties. An organization reared from the most diligent workers, a
group built from the ground with a definite purpose and the appro
priate portion of social activities, would truly spell honor. Why dis
miss $75 each year from the student accounts to belong to a national
organization when a group organized to fit the demand on the local
campus would undoubtedly be far superior?
Each Oregon Knight will himself admit the inadequacy of the
present system. Each would forward a movement to raise the status
of his group.
A dissolution of the underclass organization which existed only
a few years after seasons of hard, thankless work and the adoption
of a new and more suitable group is a logical culmination of the
passing experimental period.
Concerning Scapulas
HEN all tin- rest of the men were out of the office yesterday
▼ » we pledged our secretary to secrecy and blushlngly asked wlmt
a scalpula is. She didn’t know.
We, too, had noted that University co-eds are to be judged on
the beauty of their backs and legs, to-wit: concerning flatness of
scapula, curvature, oveihang, condition of skin and evenness of shoul
ders in the backs, and straightness and no pronation in the legs. We
queried that story, for somehow it seemed to place Oregon co-eds on
a basis we don’t like to have them on.
For instance, we wouldn’t want the girl wo met at Open House
to break down and sob at a formal because she has just learned that
her scapula doesn't come up to the University average. Nor would
we want to wonder, with long skirts as they are now, whether or not
our secret sorrow has pronation of the legs. We'd sooner ask about
her parentage than about so personal a matter.
As for curvature, there's a lot to be said on both sides of that
matter. Curves are quite pleasing this year, it seems to us. Probably
the reason that the Health Week committee in charge of the judging
and the incidental beauty contest include curvature is that they are
using blanks printed a year or two ago. A girl who had curves then
felt as ill at ease as one whose scapula isn't quite flat nowadays.
After all, it's rather doubtful if ttie Health Week girls are to be
praised for the beauty contest. Oregon men and women are prob
ably not as much interested in shoulders and legs as their jokes might
indicate nor is it likely that the danger of bad feeling which beauty
contests usuully engender will be overshadowed by the benefits of the
judging.
A more valuable health survey would include inspection of all ill
formed backs anti legs, and would cooperate with less fortunate girls
in improvement. It is unlikely that the present emphasis will do that.
A scapula, by the way, our dictionary tells us, is the superior
or proximal element of the shoulder-girdle of vertebrates.
TN EXTENDING an invitation to every member of the A. S. U. O.
to attend the football game next Saturday at Corvallis, tlie Oregon
State student body is welcoming its neighbors with outstretched hands.
It has announced its plans to act as hosts to both Oregon state alums
and students of the University.
We appreciate this, neighbors, and hope that tin* coming week
end may see the building up of finer and more stable relations.between
the two institutions* • . • . •* 0 *
Chicago suburb physicians offered to officiate at births on Dollar
Day for a fee of one dollar. Not to be outdone, a leading undertaker
will embalm persons dying on that day for the same amount. Pie
now and save!
A Portland veterinary cannot have his license because he claims
to do something which scientists agree is impossible. We don't know
anything about the merits of the case, but history tells us that flying
was once thought impossible.

Ami what’s this choice bit we
hear about the Delta Gams having
a special school in sophistication
for l heir pledges ? As far as we
can learn the main point of so
phistication is to be able to smoke
a cigarette with a certain amount
of savoir faire and to have that
happy faculty of not giving a
whoop how you look in your 8
o’clock.
The first casualty of the dime
crawl was reported when it was
discovered that the Tri l)elts had
one of their prize vases broken.
The girls didn't mind the vase so
much, but they certainly detested
cleaning up the cigarette stubs and
ashes.

THE DRAMA DEPARTMENT
Not so numerous, but very, very
distinctive. That’s the drama de
partment.
This department fills many
needs. If it were not for the
members of this department, what
would the poor Emerald theatre
critic do? What activity would
there he for the student who has
tried everything else and been
found wanting? What would per
sons who have artistic tempera
ments but aren’t artists or musi
cians do? What would there be
during winter term to spend our
money on when all else lags? And
last but not least, what would
they use to fill up the excess space
in Johnson hall with? Ah, yes,
the drama department has a dis
tinct function.
If you see a person walking
down the street, his lips moving
as though trying to recite some
thing, pulling out a hand glass
from his pocket and making grim
aces in it, and dressed in the ap
proved English fashion and at
tempting to employ the approved
Oxford accent, why then, you may
rest assured that he is either a
member of the drama department,
or else just another poor student
who has let the knowledge that
there is to be another mum sale
get the better of him.
There is a noticeable lack of
Phi Betes in this department.
Why, it is difficult to say. It
can’t be because of the lessons.
It can't be denied that the fem
inine pulchritude in this depart
ment is just a bit superior to that
in the other schools, but then the
girls in this branch of the Univer
sity have more time for beautifi
cation and are forced to spend
less on the studies.

To the Editor:
In defense of our first article
and in answer to a recent editorial
in the Emerald, we wish to say
that the writer of “A Bras
Ouverts” did not understand the
situation correctly. We grant that
this professor, mentioned hereto
fore, is qualified to teach the Eng
lish course, otherwise he would
not be doing so, but we are cer
tain that the qualifications must
not have been very strict. The
“slight slips’’ which the professor
makes are such that the course is
scarcely more’ than a farce. We
would consider his mistakes ex
cusable if they were infrequent,
but, since they seem to be habit
ual, they have aroused the com
ments of every member of the
class. However, we do not go to
class with the intention of finding
fault with our instructors. We
hope for the best.
As to the remark that personal
contacts should be made betweeu
the professor and pupil, we can
not see that this point enters into
the discussion. This instructor
makes no attempt whatever to in
vite persoual contacts. We have
the impression that he would pre- |
fer to believe that his mind is far j
above the intellect of the average !
student.
Very truly,
TWO SOPHOMORES.
To the Editor:
Since when has no prize been
awarded to the women’s living or
ganization for the best women’s
house homecoming sign ? What
happened ? After the prize and
honorable mentions were announc
ed last Friday, there was not one
women's organization on the whole
list.
1 think it has been customary in
previous years to award two priz
es, one for each the best men’s
house sign and the other for the
best women’s. This has been the
;ustomary basis or awarding ut
most all campus contests, and
homecoming signs were no excep
tion.
Men. being a little more mechan
ically minded, came in for all the
prizes, and the women “held the
gunny.” It is unfair. Next year,
here's hoping, the women get an
“even break.”
