FRESHMAN OFFICERS OUT TO COLLECT CLASS TAR Committees Chosen for Fresh men Glee, Scheduled for „ February 14 Paul Green, treasurer of the Fresh man class, and his staff of emergency collectors met lust Tuesday night at Dr. John Straub’s house to check up on the work done on the collection of the rest of the Freshman tax. Up to that time there were still sixty six Freshmen who had not paid their tax of one dollar, and only fifty-three dollars were in the treasury—with the Freshman Glee scheduled for February 14, St. Valentine’s Day. President Nelson states that this situation is not very promising for the dance, for all the rest of these who have not yet paid must do so in order to make the dance a cer tainty, as the cost 'will be nearly a hundred dollars. To facilitate the remaining work of collection, each collector was given a list of Freshmen who have not paid and was instructed to see them and collect the “coin.” Assuming that the Freshman class will not fall down in its class loyalty in the payment of the tax, President Nelson has appointed the following committees for the dance: The committee are: Harold Fitzgibbons, general chair man. Feature committee—-Bernice Lucas (chairman), Mildred Brown, and Marion Reed. Punch committee—Ray Glatt (chairman), and Lawrence Mann. Floor committee—George Colton (chairman), Eugene Elton, Russell Ralston, Howard Bull, and Rupert Martin. Program committee—Lois Ladd (chairman), Alice Tinker, and Emma Wbotton. Music committee—Ralph Ash (chairman), Allan Byon, and Buree McConahv. Decoration committee—R o 1 a n d Geary (chairman), Hanna Fyne, Hol lis Huntington, Alice Hill, and Ber nina Phllling ___________ Patroness c onmitte e—Frank Scaife (chairman), Marie DePue, Harold Berlin, and Helen Wiegand. ooooooo oooooo ooooo o o o SAVOY THEATER. o o Always 10 Cents. o o ALL NEXT WEEK. o o Special Monday Attraction— o o Victor Donald and H.

LESS FLUNKS FOR FRESHMEN DEAN STRAUB ESTIMATES A DECREASE IN FAILURES /5 POSTS FOR LAST MONTH Thirty of These for Freshmen. Class Numbers 275. Those on Danger Line Will Be In terviewed and Helped. “If I am right in my conjecture, there will be less ‘flunks’ this year among the members of the Freshman class than last year,” said Dean Straub yesterday. “Last yeai there were four Freshmen sent hon e who were not able to make their hours. I have been striving all year to keep the members of the Freshman class alive to the necessity of keeping I their grades up and I will be disap pointed if there are not fewer fail ures than last year.” For last month there wore 75 posts issued and thirty of these were among the Freshman class. There are over 275 in the class. This gives a little over ten per cei.t who were below grade this mouth. But less posts were issued this month than last. Dean Straub has been in terviewing all the Freshmen who are near the danger mark or below. At the end of the week those who are still on the danger line will be called to the office to discuss ways and means of escaping a “flunk.” “I can not say how many I think will flunk this year,” said Registrar Tiffany yesterday, “but I estimate that the number will not be in creased.” Dean Straub has announced that there will be a general rise of ten per cent in requirements in recita tions and in the marking of quiz and av orn i imtiAn ‘1 T.hiirzi hr. j Vuacxn a tendency among the faculty for a long time,” he said, “to raise the re quirements. For example a paper marked last year approximately 70 per cent would this year receive only 00 per cent. This requirement has come directly from the office. How ever the faculty will not be unjust in the matter.” In further precaution against pos sible failures, Dean Straub visited ail the fraternity houses on the campus aud read to the members of each house the list of posts for their respective houses. IS INTELLECTUAL LIFE DEAD? To the editor: Whether the charge that Universi ty students are incapable of reason ing independently is justifiable or not certainly it is not complimentary, and if anything has the power, such a statement should serve as an in centive to think of things other than the distance a discus can be thrown. The men who bring such charges to the student may have acquired the chronic habit of chiding, and we, like children, have grown to look upon it as a matter of oourse. The charge is doubtless well founded, and ne°ds a systematic and co-opera tive effort to throw it off. It is a disappointment to [those students who preconceive the impression that the University promotes a high intellect ual life, to find that it does not exist. The fact is a deplorable one, ani should serve as a stimulus to the MHO IS AGAINST . iCONFTM D:VIS1 N •s* Claims That Pootbldea of Rela tive Strength of North- 0 ° west Teams Is Result The present division of the con ference in reference to basketball is net liked by Coach Bohler for sev-1 eral reasons, which he mentioned! while here with the W. S. C. team, j This division puts W. S. C., Whit-< man and Idaho in the eastern divi- ( sion and Oregon, O. A. C. and Wash-i ingtou in the western. The chain-! pious of these two divisions then meet to decide which shall hold the all-northwest championship. "-This arrangement is very unsat isfactory to us,” said Bohler before the game last night. “In the first place it is not a fair division in that the team awarded second place may not be entitled to that position. “We want to meet the teams on the coast, but, instead of that, this division of the conference allows us to compete only with Whitman and Idaho. It is only right that since we are in the confeYence we should be allowed to meet all of the teams. The teams on the coast here are us ually stronger than the others; at least some of them, and we want to play all of them. We are not con tented with simply winning out in our division and then playing one game for the championship, but we want to play with all of them. “That is one reason for this trip. In order that we could meet some of the teams in this division, we had to take a trip on our own responsi bilities. This is not a fair proposi tion, and I would like very much to see different arrangements for next! season. “We played O. A. C. last night and they won by 32 to 12. We leave in the morning for Corvallis, and will play them another game Saturday night, which we hope to annex. An derson was not in the first game, and I think there will be a difference in the score when the next game is completed. This will be our last game before returning home, having piayeu seven games in six aays ana on the road all the time. The coach attributes his team’s de feat to the frequency of games, and the poor condition of the men result ing. The annual election of football and inter-scholastic managers will be held at Michigan this month. Henry M. Beardsley, formerly mayor of Kaansas City, spoke to the Kansas students recently. few really thinking students that definite steps should be taken to de vise some means whereby the opin ions of these thinking few could be freely expressed, and not suppressed, as under the present conditions. The best means jof allowing the in dividual propensities or proclivities expression lies in a publication open to contributions oC any nature. This publication is not advocated as a remedy for all the evils of a defunct intellectual life, but as a step in the right direction. If you are interested at all in the improvement of the intellectual standard, then you should be inter ested in an independent publication to the extent that you will give it >our support. For the purpose of arousing such interest this letter has been written, in hopes that enough men and women of the University will become interested to resurrect the Oregon Monthly or inaugurate a new one of similar nature.
