PAY YOUR PLEDGES
The week beginning Monday, May 22 has been designated as a week to collect student pledges to the Memorial Stadium-Union fund. While a goodly number of the students have paid their pledges concierently and on time yet there are at the present time a large number of installments which are due but not paid.
For the most part the students who have failed to keep up in their payment of their pledges claim that it is a case of finances and that they simply do not have the money. Being hard up for cash they say they can not pay their pledges now.
When we pledged ourselves to pay a certain amount to the Stadium-Union fund, very few of us had the money on hand and we all knew that it would probably be a hardship to pay the instalments on the pledges when they came due. Yet considering these things we resolved to make the sacrifice and our do bit by pledging all that we could.
The drive has been completed in the University. The interest in the Stadium-Union has died down considerably among the students as the majority think that these two projects are now insured realities. And in truth they are for the total amount of one million dollars has been practically pledged.
The Stadium can not be finished, however, nor the Union building started until more money has been paid in. More pledges will not complete the Stadium or build the Union. The pledges must be paid and the sooner they are paid the sooner their two memorials will be actual vali ties on our campus.
When we signed up our pledges during the drive, we agreed to make sacrifices in order to meet the payments on these pledges. In the meantime we have forgotten this obligation and we are, consequently, not prepared to meet our payments. Are we to fail now? No, it is not too late. Let's have our installments ready next week.
A head line in the Kanman said,
"life saving exams will be given
here." That place will be busy after
quiz week we forecast.
INEVITABLE
Just nine more days until quizzes start! !
The eternal, inevitable and seminal student wall is upon us. The futility, the senselessness, the foolishness, the folly—these are the characteristic phrases applied to that bug-a-bear of the undergraduate life, quix week. And it is almost upon us for each day files past faster than the preceding one.
But why have it at all, is the argument heard most frequently nowadays. Quizizes are no test of one's knowledge; they are not an index of one's intelligence; they are simply memory tests. Why have them? Any one with any intelligence at all
in pass them by cramming the night before. Quizzes are an antecedent institution of the old pedagogic school.
Such are the criticisms which are continually being voiced about this time. But they come mainly from the students who have tried to slip through their courses with as little study as possible. For this class of students passing a quiz is truly a night of cramming. For then, quizzes are memory test.
Examinations should be more than more memory tests. They should be constructed to indicate clearly what lives of thought the course has evoked in the mind of the separate students. Most quizzes are an index to the success with which a professor has instructed his class. They indicate what the students have obtained from the course.
Possibly some examinations are failure, foolish and senseless. Yet until a better method has been found this institution of quizzes must stand. And remember that a successful termination of these exams means that many more hours credit next fall or possibly graduation this spring. And if any one can pass them by cramming, let's get to work. There still remains nine days.
Tempus fleat.
There is one happy thought for the University student in connection with high school commencements, his professor might be called out of town for a few days to deliver a commencement address.
REGULATION OF ATHLETICS
REGULATION OF ATHLETICS
Presidents of fifteen eastern colleges met this spring and agreed to enforce certain changes in the institutions which they represented for the registration of matters pertaining to inter-collegiate athletics. They agreed that no athletic coach should receive an exhilarant salary but that he should be considered a member of the faculty and have duties as such. The presidents of Harvard and Princeton have each made statements in public against criticising some phases of inter-collegiate athletics.
Some of the criticisms which have been directed against competitive athletics in colleges and universities are first, the meetings between rival teams, especially the football games have developed into huge spectacles—provide amusement and excitement for closest on the level of gladiatorial combat; second, inter-collegiate athletics provide amusement and excitement for a great number of spectators, a majority of whom are not students, while only benefiting a small percentage of the student body—the players; third, the extravagant sum of money spent on a coaching staff, trainers and equipment are not serving the cause of education.
In these criticisms there is an indication that the dividing line between amateur athletics in the university and professional athletics on the outside is rather hard to draw. Both仍 require enormous expenditures for their organizations and maintenance. Both could not continue to exist as they are now organized without the patronage of the public. But they differ sharply in this one important respect: the professional athlete receives money for his services; the amateur is not financially recompensed.
A roll call in this university would find few students if any who would favor a move to abolish inter-colligate athletics. It is true nevertheless that competitive athletics benefit comparatively few and these the ones who need the training least. Two years of grammarian work gives every student a chance for physical development and the inter-organization contests enable many more to engage in games. Would the majority of students care to participate in all the sports if it were arranged that opposing teams should be fairly equal in ability and size? At West Point every cadet is required to participate in every sport and at the same time West Point engages in athletic competitions with other schools. Perhaps there will come a time when competition between the schools in the Missouri Valley Conference will be less intense and feverish by mutual agreement. If that time should ever come the contents between the schools in this conference should be just as interesting as they are now and the saving would be considerable.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Orpha Harding, President W. S. G. A.
The title of this is "One on Scoop Hill!" but it would be more proper to say "A Million on Scoop Hill." It happened this way.
The Secretary of the alumni association has for some time been fostering a little family of birds who nest over at Fraser. He has been handing out little jobs of ration every one in awhile and no one has been allowed to fly or rest. But the little devils have 'll renamed him for his kindness.
The other day he was sitting at the phone when he felt a little tickling sensation on his hand. (EX-service personnel will readily appreciate.) Investigation proved that the intruders were liee—bird life. They say Scoop hunted up a bathtub and some strong soap. At any rate, if you don't be careful, you can go over to the alumni office and get a free whiff of the disinfectant.
On Other Hills
The Oregon Daily Emerald:
"The politician is my shepherd; I shall not want for anything during his campaign. He leadeth me into the Campa Shoppe for his vote's sake, Yea though I tramp through the mud and rain to vote for him and about my soul hoarse when he is elected, straightway he forgetteth me. He does not recognize me even in his own eyes, he knows that I pulled over mine eyes all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of a goof forever."
