WOULD REDUCE STUDENT TAXES Proposal Starts in Executive Council—Juniors Allowed to Postpone Class Day Exer cises indefinitely. TO BE BROUGHT UP JAN. 21 _ o O O 03 AMENDMENT TD ‘CONSTITU TION P&ANS $3 CUT FUR SECOND SEMESTER. <> ° 0 O 0 The Junior Claws Hour, which was to have been held at next Wednes day’s Assembly Hour, has been post poned, and, in its stead, the student body will hold a special meeting to consider an important change to the Constitution of the Associated Stu dents. This amendment will be the reduction of the Student-Body tax from $8 to $5 for students coming in the second semester. This matter vvrs brought up at the Executive Council meeting this morning, and in lieu of the fact that the second semester student only de rives u portion of the benefit from his ticket that the other sturuits ap preciate from them, they decided to place the suggestion of an amend ment before the students at this time. The Executive Committee lias sent a petition to the Hoard of Regents, asking that tliis change be allowed in case the stude nts approve it. A motion was also passed by the committee to duplicate for the stu dents any Student-Body tickets lost in the course of the year. Some have already been lost or misplaced, and the students forced to pay again. Now, if tile ticket is on record at the office, any student losing one may secure another by application at the Steward's office. In pursuit of the plan to place the Student-Body finances on a sound basis for the future, the committee resolved to collect all obligations ow ing to the Student-Body, and to hunt up and settle all outstanding bills, es pecially those which have been run ning for a year or more. Incidentally, in the course of busi ness, this executive body discovered a box apples in tile Graduate Man ager's office, their usual trysting place, and divided them more or less equally amongst themselves. No warrant has b on sworn out as yet, but this has probably been neglect ed only because Walker has not dis covered his loss. The Juniors gave as their reason for not appearing at the appointed time for class hour exercises, lack of preparation, and were allowed an in definite postponement. it is said that "Spud" Gill is to be class orator for the occasion. STUDENTS CLASSED WITH CRAZY IN MONTANA Wrongly Marked Warrant Se cures Prof's Salary for Care of Insane, (Tlio Daily Mlssoullnn) Whatever may bo the opinion oi the average liti n, it is an unusua tiling lor college students officially to be branded "insane.” Yet. that is how tiu> groat stnto of Montana now s oats 10 be regarding tho young nun and women attending the State University. On the state warrant of one of tin' University professors, where the blank called for a desor p tion of the employe's service was written, ' oaring for tin* insane." There are plenty of people who will gladly aooopt the states Judgment but It is uifn. mil to find the govern ment so frjiuk. The warrant was. of course, mistaken by a clerk for one intended for a i employe of the state insane asylum, but the error was not as great ;■ It might have been after all.

ORGANIZED ROOTING IS USED AT W. S. .C. GAME Order of “0” Men Take Central Seats. Lack of Space Sends Some to Balcony Organized Hooting. The first attempt of organized rooting at a basketball game at Ore gon was tried outolast night, and the men turned out in §*ich good shape that there were not enough seats in the rooming section to seat thgm. Th°e Ijleac^ers used foi» this were full to overflowing, and several rows pf men were put on the floor un til tiie space was crowded out to the boundary line. Also a number of extra chairs were put in in an effort to accommodate the turnout. The members of the Order of the “O” were present, each wearing his j sweater without a coat. They sat in the middle of the rooters, and formed a nucleus for the balance of the rooters. The spectacle of practi cally all of the “O” men in the Uni versity, with the exception of the men on the team, wit-h their "O’s” loom ing up, was a striking one. Manager Walker was surprised at the large number of rooters present, "i did not expe X sueh a turnout,” said the nianag< r. “And next time there will be reservations for all rooters.” Between halves the entire rooter •section, led by fell Leader Young, serpentined on the floor and gave the 'Varsity’s war whoops. As the warning was given a num ber of men were asked to leave the balcony and come down with the rooters, which was accomplished without any dlfliculty. The seating 1 space was so limited that this, how ever, was not strictly enforced. More than 140 magazines and pe riodicals come to the University li brary regularly, and twenty-five newspapers bring the total up to 160 journals put at the disposal of Uni versity students. All of them are carefully bound at regular intervals, and kept on file at the library for reference. The magazines range from political science journals to so cialistic and 'workingmen's maga zines. Many are also publications voted to art and literature, and in clude the best of all modern fiction and poetry. Dedication services for the new $60,000 Y. M. C.

MISS GUPPY TO TALK AT WOMEN'S MEETING Will Discuss College Women Met on Eastern Trip “College women are by no means lacking in ideas. The only fault that is to be found with them is that they lack in carefulness and accuracy,” is the statement which Miss Bennett, of jChicago, and herself a Wellesley' graduate, is quoted as making. Miss Bennett is at the head of a bureau ino cChicago which has for its purpose the finding of employinepf for college women, ofher than that of teaching. She states that while the mental ability of the University woman is unquestioned, that in the little things, such as’ spelling and the use of Epglish and punctuation, there is a decided lack. Often she says, ap plicants are unable to meet the quali fications, and in other cases those who have found work through the medium of the employment bureau, are unable to hold their positions, due to the fact that they have not paid sufficient attention to accuracy in English and in spelling, during their period of education.

Student Numbers. One thousand six hundred and sixty is the total number of students who have registered during the first week of the second semester at Stan ford. This shows a substantial in crease over the number of students enrolled on the Stanford records at the same time last year, when there were 1,540 students. A comparison of the two second semesters of the jours 1913 and 1914, respectively, shows a gain of 120. The total registration for the en tire year is 1887, as opposed to 1772 ;it the same period last year. These figures display an increase of lit! students for the year 1913-14. Of the number who have registered this semester there are 17 new men and 40 women, making a total of 8 7 en tering students. One hundred and sixty over a thou sand is the total of men who have signified their intention of attending classes and striving for a degree.

YODNC FAVORS QUARTERLY IDEA tfILL REVIEW WORK OF COM MONWEALTH CONFER ENCES, HE SAYS WOULD SOLVE TAX PROBLEM .nstructor Mentions Public Em ployment Bureau as Jtey °to Question of Unemployed La borers in State. Professor Young today expressed liimself as being well pleased with the Commonwealth Conference Quar terly. This magazine is to report the actions of the Commonwealth Con ference to the people of Oregon. “The plan of the quarterly is to give the records of the Common wealth Conference, of which five have been held,” said Professor Young. “The review will reach mak ers and factors of public opinion in the state. The Commonwealth Con ference is to enlist all the mental and spiritual interests of the state in co operation, and to promote the inter ests of the people. The idea embod ied in the Commonwealth activity as sumes that the people of Oregon will be able to reach a more efficient plane of progress in all material and social interests if scientific methods are utilized. Taxes Too High. “Just now the problem that calls for the greatest attention is the high taxes throughout the state. While there is probably no more or less dis nonesty or waste in the state of Ore gon in either local and state govprn ments than in other states, there is no doubt that, by systematic investi gations, budgetary procedures which' can be organized through the means jf the Commonwealth Conference, a ! /ery substantial lowering of taxes \ aid yet better public service can be j >btained. “In this way all of the different in- ; .erests striving toward securing good j oads throughout the state will be! lided if brought together into a har- ! noniously organized unit, to get the iroblem as a whole in hand and make j irogress more rapid than has yet jeen realized. “With social progress in the state, different quarters are being chal lenged with adverse criticisms. The Corvallis conference of factories re solved against this movement for conditions for the betterment of la bor. “The situation in regard to this ex ceedingly important step of progress needs to be gone into carefully so that what we now have will make Oregon the representative of the more advanced ideas in this life. Advises Co-operation. “A system should be established to prevent the hordes of unemployed from disturbing the peace and quiet j >f Oregon. This is one of the ques- ; aons winch will be discussed in the aext conference. The public employ ment bureau will probably be the so lution. These are only a few of the examples of interesting problems handled under University auspices. The ilea is to get the ablest represen tatives of public spirit in all parts of Oregon systematically and actively co-operating for Oregon’s good. The University is surely in its proper sphere when it assumes the leader ship in the marshalling of the intel lectual and spiritual forces oof Ore gon. Under0the system most effi cient co-operation the Common wealth Review is to be simply the or gan of the commonwealth movements and activities under the leadership of the State University.” CHl'HCH DIRECTORY.
