SATURDAY. MARCH 14, 1914.
MILLENIUM ?
Due, perhaps, to the laek of can
didates for positions on the Student
Council, there waB little excitement
manifested over the outcome of the
election. And nowhere was there
any evidence of electioneering which
even the small number of candidates
need not have eliminated. The men
and the women who sought berths
on the newly formed council, ran on
their own merits.
Electioneering Is good up to a cer
tain point In giving the desired pub
licity to those who eventually must
serve the Student-Body, and certain
ly a little more pip In the matter of
willingness to serve, and in the In
terest displayed In the outcome of
the election, would have been com
mendable, but even with these draw
backs, the members of the Oregon
Student-llody has taken a good, long
step toward doing away with the
friction too often inseparably con
nected with politics.
When all Is said and done, It hard
ly seems as If there were any need
for electioneering for any candidate.
In a school of the size of Oregon, the
members of the student organization
should know each other rather well
enough to make this unnecessary.
Especially should this be true of men
or women who have attained to Ju
nior standing In the University, and
are hence eligible, according to col
lege custom, to run for office.
With such an understanding of
the real qualities which the office
seeker possesses, but little good Is
accomplished by a pre-election can
vass. What is done Is to add to the
tenseness of the contest, and make
an open break all the easier.
The behavior at yesterday's elec
tion was exemplary and It is safe to
say that there Is no feeling of rancor
left behind following the decision of
the judges. Perhaps it is looking
forward to Utopia to anticipate a
general college Student-Body elec
tion. without Its petty squabbles and
imitation ring politics, but the ex
ample Just set leads to the hope that
this may be brought to pass.
staying to commencement.
I-ess than three months now re
main before the present Senior class
will sever active connections with
the University. Commencement week
looms ahead as the ending of the un
dergraduate life for the fourth year
men and women of the University.
Practically all those now having full
senior standing will figure In the
graduation exercises, hut apart from
the senibrs, their near friends and
relatives, and a f^v upperclassmen,1
who will stay o^r for summer
school, past experience has taught
that the number of those remaining
for Commencement week will be
small.
There is, of course, much to be
said on the side of the student who
packs his suitcase as soon as the last
examination is finished and leaves
Eugene until college takes up again
in the fall. A large percentage of
those attending the University of
Oregon, as has been shown by sta
tistics, earn their way through col
lege either wholly or in part, and the
importance of entering early in the
race for the elusive summer job, is
not to be ignored. But there is also
a large number to whom the slimmer
months offer an opoprtunity for re
laxation and recuperation after the
work of the college year. These stu
dents do an injustice not only to
themselves but also to their Univer
sity, in leaving the college town just
at that time in the college year when
college life should mean the most.
Frequent complaints are heard
concerning the decadence of Oregon
spirit. Just how much of this is fact
and how much fiction, is hard to de
termine, but one thing is certain, and
that is that all any student, who is
lacking in this traditional attribute
of Oregon University life, needs to
repair this deficiency, is to stay over
for one Commencement. The mean
ing of Oregon, its purposes, and
Ideals, are more clearly brought
forth than at any other time, and
when the last day is gone the stu
dent, be he graduate or undergradu
ate .realizes as he has never real
(Ized before, the debt he owes to the
University, and determines to repay
that debt in every way possible,
whether in or out of college.
Every inducement should be of
fered to cause the men and women of
the University to stay over for this
final week until they themselves can
see the importance of this. It might
even be advisable to close school one
week earlier than is now the custom
in order to allow those who other
wise would not be able to afford this
time taken from their summer work
to do so without pecuniary loss.

University of Washington, March
13.—Based upon the total cost of
maintenance of the University of
Washington for a two-year period, it
costs the state of Washington $170
per capita to educate the regular
students of this University, or $15 6
per capita based upon the total num
ber of students.
These figures show the mainte
nance cost to below the average cost
based upon statistics of 2 7 of the
leading State Universities in the
west. The average upkeep cost in
these schools is $202 per capita esti
mated on total students and for col
lege students is $244.
In State Universities without agri
cultural departments, the figures as
compared with those of the Universi
ty of Washington are, for total stu
dents, $174, and for regular college
students $206.
. . Other Schools Higher.
The per capita cost in western uni
versities, including Colorado, Iowa,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Oregon,
California, Texas, South Dakota, New
Mexico, North Dakota and Montana,
is $196 for college students and for
regular college students $219.
For the education of students in
Northwest State Universities for to
tal Student-Body is $296 and for
regular registration $377.

Prom the colleges and universities
along the Pacific coast reports are re
ceived of the athletic work of the
women. The University of Califor
nia will hold a track and field meet
lor women students on March 14.
Representatives of each of the four
classes will participate. The events
scheduled are: 100, 220 and 50-yard
dashes; one-yard hurdle race; eight
pound shotput; broad, standing and
running jumps; hop, step and jump;
high jump; three-legged race, and
relay race. Inter-collegiate tennis
matches are also scheduled for the
women of the western universities.
The University of Oregon expects to
meet the University of California
early in the season. Bess Cowden.
captain of this year’s team of Oregon
University, is optimistic about the
chances of winning the girls’ inter
collegiate. championship. With the
large number of girls attending the
colleges and universities in the Mid
dle West, the interest in this branch
of work seems to be almost entirely
neglected.—Illinois Daily mini.
The budget system used by the Y.
W. C. A. of the University of Illinois
seems popular with other university
associations. The expense budget of
Oregon for the past year was $700.
This amount shows a great advance
over the budget of previous years,
for at no time has it exceeded $400.
This money is raised through the
dues of $1, paid yearly by each mem
ber of the local association, and by
'
private pledges of various people
throughout the state interested in
this. work.—Illinois Daily Illini.
Colorado College has again been
favored and honored by a magnificent
gift. A certain friend of the Col
lege, who desires his name to be
withheld, has very generously donat
ed the income from $100,000 for the
establishment of a Department of
Business Administration and Bank
ing.
It has been charged that the fra
ternities are existing “sub rosa” at
Oberlin College, and men are still
being initiated contrary to the fac
ulty ruling. The faculty is preparing
to take drastic action in the matter,
if need be.
New spelling under the reformed
rules, comprising in all 176 words,
has been adopted by the faculty of
the Ohio State University. Other
universities who have changed their
spelling are Reed College, North
western and the University of Illi
nois.
Women at the University of Michi
gan have been refused the privilege
of being awarded the “M” in any
form, according to a recent decision
of the Board of Directors of the Ath
letic Association. Lack of outside
competition was given as the main
reason for the action.
An interesting boost for college
education may be gathered from the
statistics given by the World’s Al
manac for this year. Out of 435
representatives in the Sixty-third
Congress, 303 are college men; out
of 96 senators, 72 are college men.
Michigan University leads in the
number of sons in Congress and
Harvard is second.
Thirteen sororities were entered in
the inter-sorority relay race, which
was the feature of the annual relay
meet held at the University of Wis
consin last week. The race was won
by Delta Gamma, with Alpha Xt Del
ta second.
Harold Broughton, ’13, will spend
the week-end at the Beta Theta Pi
house.
