YOUTHFUL JOURNALISTS
ADDRESSED BY HARRIS
Harris Points Out Problems Confront
ing Oregon, and Declares Laborers
Want Bath Tubs.
Twenty-two little journalists rang
ing in age from ten to fourteen years,
took their first big assignment Wed
nesday, when they listened to A. H.
Harris, Editor of the Portland Labor
Press, speak on “The Problems Con
fronting Oregon,” and Carl Getz, Edi
tor of the Washington Daily, speak
on “The I. W. W.,” before the class in
Journalism at the University. The
children were from the seventh grade
of the Condon School and had as a
part of their regular work in element
ary “journalisim” the two addresses,
which were also assigned to the Uni
versity students.
Laborers Want Bathtubs.
Mr. Harris spoke at Assembly to
| the students of the English novel
j class and to •me students of Journal
ism. Before the latter he said. “Or
ganized labor ecusists of 200,000 men
and women in the United States and
about 15,000 in Oregon. One of their
strongest fight-, has been for the bath
tub tnd in this 'hey have accom
plished much."
Of 4he problems confronting Ore
gon, the most prominent are the im
migrant question when the Panama
> anal opens, the housing problem and
elimination of slums in our coast ci
ties, and the lumber-workers. There
are 38,000 lumber men working in
Oregon, and their condition is fright
ful.
Getz Talks on “I. W. W.”
Mr. Getz took up the history of the
“I. W. W.” This he had as his thesis
at the University of Washington. He
made a specie' trip to Chicago to have
a' cess to the records of the branch
of the “Work' rs,” who make their
[ headquarters there, the other branch

using Dotn.it. They were organized
in 1902 as a growth of the Socialist
party. Their idea is a complete abol
ution of employers. One class uses
political means to gain its end and
the other class uses strikes and sim
' ilar mean; as the militant suffrag

! posed entirely of unskilled workers.
That the “I. IV. \V " are a real menace
to society is the belief of Mr. Getz.
DRAMATIC CRITIC IS WROTH
WHEN CAUDAL “E" IS CLIPPED
To the Editor:—Dear Sir: Painful
though the duty may be, I find it nec
essary to have words with thee, com
plaining against an outrage repeat
edly directed against we in my capac
ity as Dramatic Critic. I refer to the
continual trifling with truth engaged
in by some Low-Browed member of
your Staff, who with malice afore
thought clips an extra “e” on the
caudal extremity of every “cast” I, or
an yother member of your afore-men
tioned staff, sees occasion to employ.
Hence this ultimatum: Ife suche ane
outragee occures againe, ite wille bee
you re privalegee toe securee anothere
ands moree docilee Dramatic High
browe withoute furthere chcinninge
thereupone.
Withe profounde respecte, le amc,
Verye trulye yourae,
Ae. He. Daviese.

A LITTLE PREACHMENT
It is our humble, but nevertheless
firm, belief that attendance at class
meetings is a duty of every student.
Whether he assumes it or not, each
member of a class has his own share
of the responsibility in the affairs of
the class and if he does not attend
class meetings he shoulders off the
burden of responsibility onto those
who do. Quite often continued ab
sence causes a man to feel that he is
not a part of the class and this feel
ing engenders a spirit of criticism
which is never helpful to an organiza
tion. We venture to assert that the
man who is not a good class member
will by no means be a good citizen
when he goes out into the world. So
far the Freshman class has been a
homogeneous unit, upon which fact
rests most of their success as a class.
Recently, however, there has been a
slight falling off in the number at
tending class meetings, not because it
is not known, but because members
forget or simply neglect going. We
hope that this condition will exist only
temporarily and that from now on
class meetings shall have as large a
representation as possible.—Washing
ton State College Evergreen.
The University needs an honor
system. An organized effort to
prevent cheating in examinations
should be made by the student
body.
You say this is impossible?
You say it is not needed? Illinois and
Chicago and other large institutions
have an honor system.
In every examination you see
men in the University stealing their
way through. It is not cheating. It
is stealing. It is deception. A man
who goes into a test and cheats,
steals, lies and deceives at the same
time, steals a grade. He lies about
what he does not know. He deceives
I his instructor into the belief that he
, is working.
But the man who cheats does not
injure the instructor. He injures him
self. He lowers his ideals to steal a
: college degree. A degree should rep
l resent not what we make the instruc
; tor think we know, but what we act
ually know. A decree is an empty
honor if its owner has an empty
head.
The prevention of this petty thiev
ery lies with the individual student
as much as it lies with the crowd.—

TO RAISE DEFICIT
Y. M. C. A. Advisory Board Still in
Arrears $280 for Secretary’s
Salary.
General Secretary ( hr.rles W. Koyl,
of the Student Y. M. C. A.t has just
issued a statement of the finances of
the organization which show that the
student part of the finances are but
s ightly in the arrears. The separate
account of 'he Advisory Board, how
ever, shows a deficit of $280, which
will undoubtedly be discharged by a
subscription campaign among the
business men of Eugene and the sup
porters of the Y. M. C. A. —
Walter Dimm, the new student
treasurer hopes to balance the stu
dent account through the collection of
unpaid membership dues which amount
to some $45. There are also a num
ber of student subscriptions which
have not been paid. When they are
collected, Dimm expects to start next
year’s work with the Association un
incumbered by any debt. He will also
aid the Advisory Board Treasurer, C.
A. McClain, in his campaign for sub
scriptions.
The economic students at Harvard
University are studying the causes of
the crowded traffic conditions in the
city at the request of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. They will re
ceive compensation for their work.
Coach Bender, of Washington State
College, is already warning the Wash
ington football team of 1913 to look
out for him. He claims to have some
excellent material with which to
strengthen his team.
The plans for a movement to se
cure $150,000 with which to erect a
gymnasium, and $25,000 to construct
an athletic stadium, have been ap
proved by the regents at the Univer
sity of Washington.
