POINTS.
The introduction of a point sys
tem at. Oregon, that Is a system by
which the number of activities which
may be participated In by any one
student Is automatically limited, is
again before the women of the Uni
versity for consideration. The plan
now proposed' would assign to each
position in the University a certain
number of points, fifty being the
maximum which any one woman
might gain.
WliUe some criticism might be
made as to the relative importance
which tins been arbitrarily assigned
to various student body positions, the
plan on the whole, is one worthy of
commendation. Only a certain num
ber of positions of the kind for which
points may be won, exist at Oregon,
and a fair distribution of these posi
tions among those who are compe
tent to discharge the duties attach
ed, is only fair.
But a greater consideration than
tills must enter into the final deci
sion of tile point system, and that is
tiie consideration of efficiency. The
average college woman can carry but
a certain amount of work, whether
In tile line of studies, or of student
activities. The exceptional woman
can handle more, but the amount
does not vary to any considerable
extent.
And here is whore the desire for
glory takes a hand. The ambitious
woman, longing for more worlds to
conquer, gets mixed up In more stud
ent activities than are good, either
for tier or Tor the activities. One of
two tilings results. Either studies,
or tile student activities in which she
is engaged, suffer.
A strict enforcement of the point
system will do away with this condi
tion. A distribution of the coveted
posts of honor in student life would
result, and through this very means,
sufficient time would be insured to
each officer for the most efficient
performance of her duties
Miss French, Dean of Women at
Idaho, is credited with the state
meat that college women spend too
much on their everyday wearing ap- J
parel, and that a large part of°what
is paid out on millinery bills could
well be expended on loiv-heeled
walking shoes. Miss French is, per
haps, right in her accusation, but a
statement of this kind always runs
the risk of being misinterpreted.
The common human leaning toward
gay apparel, must not be taken as
peculiar to college women. In re-j
gard to tlie need of low-heeled shoes 1
as an aid to health, inspection of con- j
ditions at Oregon would seem to in
dicate that the type of co-ed found
here might possibly get along with
out the heeless footgear recom
mended.
t__
Now, according to President Ver
non Motschenbacher, it is necessary
to cons'der the eligibility of candi
dates for the new positions created
on th^student council. Just a little
foretaste of unrest in the political
hive as a warning of the swarm
which the May elections may be
counted on to bring forth.
Y. W. C. A. APPROVES PLAN
OF FULL TIME SECRETARY
Miss Margaret McKag, Grad
uate of Northwestern, Sug
gested; to Be Paid $1200.
The Y. W. C. A. will have a full
time secretary next year, as the re
sult of a vote taken at the last regu
lar meeting. She will receive a sal
ary of $750 a year, and will begin
work next September.
Miss Fox, Northwest Student Sec
retary of the Y. W. C. A., is en
thusiastic over the new plan, and
suggests Miss Margaret McKag, a
graduate of Northwestern Universi
ty, who is now studying along this
particular line, for the new secre
taryship. It was decided to send
Miss McKag a night letter to bring
a reply as soon as possible.
Prior to the meeting, the new Y.
W. C, A. cabinet met with the Ad
visory Committee at the home of
Mrs. E. E, DeCou, and the plans of
having a full-time secretary and of
the raising of a new budget of $1205
were discussed and approved, These
plans were later voted upon at the
regular meeting.
After the transaction of business
Miss Fox installed the new officers,
who are: Jewell Tozier, president;
Katherine Bridges, vice-president;
Carolyn Koyl, secretary, and Jennie
Huggins, treasurer.
HORSE’S SKELETON BRINGS
AFFINITIES TOGETHER
Names Written on Bones at
Kansas Makes Acquaintance
and “Case” Possible.
University of Kansas, March 4.—
Love and romance, being universal,
may, of course, be found on the dry
bones of a skeleton. Obviously,
though, that is not a usual resort of
Cupid. However, it was by a name
written on the skeleton of a horse
In the museum at the University of
Kansas that a college Senior has
found bis affinity.
Three years ago the girls’ basket
ball team of a western Kansas town
played in the tournament at Law
rence. Of course, the girls visited
the museum, and, of course, they
wrote their names on the much-be*
scribbled skeleton of a horse stand
ing conveniently near. That skele
ton, in spite of the maledictions of
the curators of the museum, is a
popular registration place for mu
seum visitors.
And when the Senior of our nar
rative was a Freshman, he, too, vis
ited the museum, for material, in his
rhetoric work, no doubt. He saw- a
name on the skeleton register that
attracted his attention, and being a
romantic Freshman, he wrote to the
address. Other letters followed, and
the girl eventually became a stu
tent at the University. Now they
have one of the most ardent "cases”
on the Hill, and friends of the pair
say their wedding is now only a mat
ter of income.
DRESSES COST TOO MUCH
I twin of Women at Idaho Hives Ad*
dress on Clothes.
Vnivors of Idaho, March 1.— At
an assembly for women only, held
this morning at the university. Miss
I’eneal French, Dean of Women, de
clared that college girls spend too
much money for outward show and
dress. Miss French admited that
beauty fades with age, and that dress
as a eonipensatlon, therefore is justi-u
fiable, but maintained stout]' that
ou ° ®0 O o
the youth and beauty of the average
co-ed was sufficient without addi
tional adornment. A further sug
gestion made by the Dean was that
pin money should be spent less at the
candy store and more at the cobbler's
in having heels kept straight.
It’s open season now oil Hot Dogs

UNDERCLASS DEBATE SET
FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 3
Effort Being Made to Raise
$100 Prize for Winning
Team
The Frashman-Sophomore debate
will be held In Villard Hall on April
3. Each class will have two teamB
of three members each, one team on
the negative and one on the affirm
ative, One debate will be held on
the afternoon of April 3 and the
other in the evening of the same
date.
To work up a little more competi
tion than just the mere winning, a
movement is on foot to get a $100
prize for the winning team. As the
question is on international peace it
is thought that the American Peace
Society will give a large percent of
this amount.
The Sophomores who make the
debating team will be given class
numerals whether they win or lose.
The Sophomore team is already
chosen and consists of William Holt,
Leslie Tooze, Prentls Drown, Allen
O’Connell, Lamar Tooze and Cloyd
Dawson. The Freshman team is not
so well organized and tryouts will be
held March 7 at nine o'clock in Prof.
Dunn’s room in Deady Hall, to pick
the team. Dal King has consented
to coach the Freshman team and will
probably be chosen for that position.
A dance will be given in the men’s
gymnasium after the debate.
JUNIORS SELECT PRIZES
Four Oreganos and Two Tickets to
Women’s Glee Concert.
Four copies of the Oregana and
two tickets to the Women’s Glee Club
entertainment will constitute the
prizes at the Junior Mask Ball Sat
urday night. The best sustained male
character and the best sustained wo
man character will each receive a
copy of the Junior Annual, as will
the most comical man and the fun
niest woman character.
The tickets go to the winners of
the prize waltz.

EDITOR IS RESPONSIBLE:
Washington Law Edition Scoring
Faculty, Causes Move.
University of Washington, March
4.—Hereafter the editor of The
Daily will be responsible for the ar
ticles appearing in special editions
through a ruling passed by the Board
of Control at its weekly meeting last
night in The Daily building. This
is a direct outcome of the criticism
of the recent law edition, which
printed articles reflecting upon the
faculty. Members of the board said
that they believed the editor already
to be responsible for such articles by
a faculty ruling, but that they passed
the resolution to guard against future
difficulties.
