KEEPING INFORMED Alumni owe it to themselves and to the University to keep informed as to the growth of the various depart ments of instruction. Every year sees the University better able to prepare Oregon young people for all the duties of citizenship. Every alum nus finds opportunity to advise young ^men and women as to their plans for 'college. Alumni who feel that they are not fully in touch with the pres ent situation should request that the Registrar keep them on the mailing list for all bulletins and catalogues of the University. Some questions which young peo ple are constantly asking and which alumni occasionally find themselves unable to answer, are: Can I get a course in law at the University in Eugene? Can I prepare myself for a com mercial position at the University? Can the University equip me with training for success as an architect? How long will I have to study.to become a physician after taking a pre medical course at the University? I As a girl, will I find training in home decoration and fine arts at the University Will the University help me to a satisfactory position, if I take special training for work as a high school teacher ? Does the Journalism Department prepare a person for real newspaper work? Since Civil Engineering has been denied to both Oregon and O. A. C. by the Board of Higher Curricula, must a student preparing to be a civil engineer take his full college course outside of the state? When an inquiring youngster asks a question like any of those above, let us not answer it from our remem brance of the University curriculum as it was when we were graduated. Let us rather make sure that the an swer we give is based upon an exact knowledge of present conditions. KICK NOW We believe that the Emerald man agement is doing quite well in its en deavor to get the paper regularly to all alumni subscribers. Instances are, however, by no means rare, of failure to deliver the paper regularly. Both the manager and the alumni secretary wish to hear of any such cases promptly. Every paid up member of the Alum ni Association is entitled to the pa per. HOMER BILLINGS IS GRATE FOR SUPPORT FOR NORMAL Ashland (Special to Alumni Sec | tion)—G. H.
