Entered in the postoffice at Eugene, Oregon, as second-class matter. Subscription rates, $2.50 -j---*-;—; A member of the Major College Publications, represented by A. J. Norris Hill Co., 155 E. 42nd St.. New York City; 123 W. Madison St., Chicago; 1004 End Ave., Seattle; 1206 Maple Ave., Los Angeles; Call Building, San Francisco. MINOR SPORTS BY action of the executive council yesterday, en thusiasts of tennis, cross-country, golf and swimming will be permitted to organize teams to represent the University and to compete in a lim ited program of intercollegiate competition. As adopted by the executive council and the athletic committee, the participants will be given “minor O” awards, distinctive from the letters presented for baseball, football, track and basketball. Ever since first action was taken by the ath letic committee on the matter of re-establishing minor sports, complaints have been heard to the effect that varsity “O’s” should be given. The par ticipants feel that they put in as much time and energy in the course of a season to entitle them to equal honors with the participants in the major sports, as well as membership in the Older of the O. Their stand is ill advised. The present budget tor minor sports is so pitifully slight that only a very limited schedule of contests can be arranged. Very little first-class competition will be met, for the coffers of the A. S. U. O. can not stand the cost of extensive traveling. A swimming team, for instance, will probably encounter no more first rate competition than Oregon State college and the University of Washington in the course of a year's competition. It would hardly be fair, on this basis, to reward Oregon's aquatic representatives with varsity O’s. On most other campuses, includ ing Stanford and Oregon State, the minor sports award is distinct from the varsity letter. There was a time when golf and tennis and swimming were sports of major importance at Ore gon. There were swimmers of wide note, golfers who won national and international honors, tennis teams that consistently battled their way into na tional intercollegiate finals. But the evil days came, and finally these sports had to be dropped entirely. Now these sports must re-establish themselves in the eyes of the campus as being of major im portance, and the teams must prove themselves to be worthy representatives of the University. When these things are accomplished, it will be time enough to talk of varsity letters. For the present, the swimmers, golfers and tennis enthusiasts should be grateful that these sports are to be resumed, even on a minor basis; their principal reward must be, for the time being, the mere privilege of par ticipation. _^ _ THOSE CONSISTENT SOPHOMORES TT was indeed a pleasure to read in our favorite *- paper yesterday this headline: “.Skull, Dagger \ No Longer for Return of Lids.” The first thought ! was that the sophomores had seen their incon sistency in trying to firce upon others what they ! did not want themsclvc But it soon appeared that the sophomores the word in its original Greek form meant something akin to "wise fools”—had not seen the error of their ways. They merely had failed to get support for their scheme to restore the banished lid. Now they seem to be trying to disown it. Had the honored men of the class of 1936 been without interest in the matter of whether freshmen should resume the wearing of green lids, they prob ably would not have brought the matter up before the Interfraternity council in the first place. But since they did bring it up, they must confess owner ship. Some members of the faculty are trying to in still a spirit of intellectual honesty in their stu dents. The statement of the sophomores, “We wish to go on record as neither for nor against the meas ure,” may not have the characteristics of intellec tual dishonesty but it does remind one faintly of the jellyfish. And to think that it was less than a year age that a member of this present sophomore class as president of the frosh commission praised the ef forts of Bill Bowerman, then vice-president of the A. S. U. O., in bringing about the discard of the green lid tradition. — CORRECTION 'TVHE EMERALD hastens to correct two errors in recent issues. The first had to do with fig ures comparing freshman enrollment on this cam pus with first-year enrollment at Oregon State Agricultural college, which were incorrectly quoted. The freshman enrollment at the state college is slightly larger than the enrollment at Eugene, al though the University's total enrollment is larger, and the freshman enrollment here is slightly greater than last year. In a front-page story the Emerald indirectly quoted Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, as doubting the wisdom of permitting students to remain in Portland Saturday night, November 11, following the Oregon-Oregon State football game, because of the opportunities which might arise for clashes be tween students from the two institutions. Dean Earl’s misgivings were founded upon»other consid erations. On Other Campuses Working Students 'T'HERE are three kinds of working students— ■*- working students, working students and just plain ordinary working students. The first kind works and draws pay for its labor in the form of money. The second kind works just as hard and gets paid, not in money, but in a value not easily measured. The third kind well, he's not important. I won’t talk about him. The first and second kind are working toward the same end: an education. The second kind ready gets one; the first gets a smattering. To me one of the tragedies that is with us every day is the working student of the first kind who spends so much time making a living that he can't get the education he works for. His diploma, when he is graduated, is like all the rest of them. As some wag said, it and a nickel will get a cup of coffee. But it means something to him. It is the result i>f countless hours of physical toil. The diploma is the pay check of the second kind of working student, the student who has sufficient money to attend college and sufficient to realize that he gets out of college just what he puts into it. He works at studies. His labors incite no pity, admiration or sympathy. There’s nothing spec tacular in them. He's an unsung type of "working student." But his diploma, which like the others requires a nickel if he would drink coffee, has an inestimable value to him. Oklahoma Daily. Reading -and Writing PEGQY CHESSMAN, Editor TO’HO, in your estimation, are the ” greatest living novelists? Naturally, a question of that type will arouse a great deal of con troversy, for the choice of one per son is open to another's argument. In 1930, the Scholastic magazine sponsored a column which decided I the best novelists, the results to he gathered from numerous critics, the experts of current literature. Responses from the critics were varied. Some refused to classify modern writers, feeling that few could be compared. Thirty-one popular critics, however, agreed to send in their estimations. The compiling of these ranked Willa Gather first and Edith Whar ton second. Theodore Dreiser. James Branch Cabell, Sherwood Anderson, and Sinclair Lewis fol lowed in close succession. But three years have passed since that content was held, and undoubtedly there have been many changes. A few authors who de served inclusion may have been overlooked, new names surely could be added, and new novels ct the older novelists would have to be considered. Many of the writ ers classified then in the lowest divisions have come to prominence since the investigation was made. Just what is your opinion re garding the novelists of the day? Tomorrow, in this column, Miss Bernice Rice, head of the old libe circulation department, and Miss Nancy Roberts, head of the High Hat library, will give their opin ions of modern novelists. Compare their selections with yours. Interesting news comes to the' admirers of Christofer Motley in the announcement of the publica tion of his new book, "Shakespeare and Hawaii." The title seems rath er absurd, considering the breach of time and space between the two parts of the subject matter, but the story is another in the com forting, rambling Motley style. We defy you to think of something Morley tails to consider in his lat est book, for discussion of "shoes anti ships and sealing wax, cab bages and kings" are all embod ied in the material. The story is really much more of a summary of Morleys obser vations of life and men. tragedy and comedy. He follows no defin ite procedure, obeys no literary rules consequently his tale will endear him even more to his fol-1 lowers. Morleys defense of his ram bhngs is summed up in his state ment to the pre.s that be v it Ik d to think of Shake. peace as "a symbol of the creative imagination in all the arts anil in all forms of human dreaming, because Shakes peare has become for us far more than just the sum total of every thing he wrote he has expressly become the symbol of man's tri umph over circumstances and the intellect’s triumph over the irony that afflicts all mortal affairs." Mannequin By PATSY LEE Vt.’HO will the all-American girl be ? The great job of choos ing such a person lias been under taken annually at most every in stitution of higher le r uing ex cept the University of Oregon, and now we are going to have our all American gal, too. Mannequin sincerely hopes that not only personal loveliness will enter in the judging. An individ ual's popularity must be taken into consideration, but even an extreme case of this type would not be sat isfactory. So let's hope that the final decision will be a happy com bination of both these personal ac quirements. and that the campus ivill take the winner without tlie lsual feeling of jealousy and criti cism.

It seems that a large bat (not a jag, you idiot) entered the Cheeses’ sleeping porch at 2:15 the other night and flew' around vigorously for about 15 minutes. Hollopeter got up and threw it out, but Polivka had to be told about it the next morning. He slept right through the battle. Alpha Gamma Delta caught a large turtle (1884 model» last Wednesday noon. After reducing it to a state of coma, which they termed “taming it," they daubed A.G.D. in turquoise paint on its top center, christened it “Oscar,” and wove a string through its shell. Innocent Bystander hopes that the Alpha Gams aren’t as slow as their pet. (No pun intended).

Some scorcher, eh. kid! The joyful news reaches us that Bob Titherington, brightest jewel in Sigma Chis diadem, has at last decided to stay in school. Bob, if you must know, came from down South, suh, and for awhile he did n’t feel right to home among us no’thern folks. Gunnel Tithering ton changed his major three times, and was about to leave in discour agement, when he met a blonde Alpha Gam, and now he wouldn't leave us for anything. Nice work. Gunnel Bob. And there is the weird tale con cerning the Phi Psi pledge who was invited to a tea at the D.G. mausoleum. The brothers informed him that he would be required to bring Ins own food: so our child wonder packed a tidy little lunch in a shoe-box tied with a string and toddled up to the house with the pillars, where he shoved the lunch into the hands of the first gal to answer the bell and busted right in.

As housemother at the University of Iowa, where de ferred pledging was tried for a number of years but found unsuc cessful, and as national president of Phi Omega Pi sorority, Mrs. Turnipseed has seen numerous rushing plans in operation. “The problems arising from de terrea pledging, she remarked, “according to our experiences and information, are just as serious as those arising from early pledging, and the individual work done in dormitories is seriously hampered by forced residence of all fresh men.” At the end of last week, accord ing to figures from the registrar’s office, 340 freshman men and 250 freshman women had registered. The maximum number of students who can be housed in the women’s dormitories is 240, in the men’s halls 274, the dormitory director said. “The building of more dormi tories at Oregon State college and at the State University of Oregon Fit as a fiddle • • • Telephone service must he kept fit as a fiddle 365 days a year.

Both organizations have bonds to retire and interest to pay for the next 15 years without further burdens of this kind to meet until the en-' rollment of our institutions will | warrant an expansion in the build j ing program. “Before dormitories were built ^ on either campus sufficient to i meet the housing needs of stu-1 dents, the fraternities and sorori ties met the need; and it would j be most unfair during the present j economic crisis to force all fresh- j men into the dormitories regard less of their desires.” (Due to lack of space today, the list of colleges and universities expressing favorable and unfavor able opinions on deferred pledg ing, begun in yesterday's story, will be completed tomorrow,) Emerald of the Air Over the ether comes the latest society chatter via Mary Louiee Edinger.

The Emerald Greets— Today the Emerald greets: ELINOR HENRY. To interview or be interviewed? Just start to interview Elinor Henry, and in two minutes flat she knows all about the time you ran away or about that first tooth. For Elinor is a born reporter, with a natural talent for getting something for publication from anybody. First she starts off about the weather, and if that doesn’t make them talk she slyly asks how their golf game went yesterday. That cinches it. One day soon Elinor is going to be writing as a career; she got away to a good start last summer with the publication of story and a poem in John Martin's Book, the child’s magazine. Emerald read ers have known her name for sev eral years now as proofreader, night editor, copyreader, ad solici tor, reporter, and feature writer. On a special the other night she talked to Chancellor Kerr and found him very charming; some interviews aren’t so nice. Any way, it’s all in a day's work, says Elinor as she hurries off to inter cept somebody for an interview. Elinor will have 22 candles on a cake she plans to bake herself.
