“ON TO WHERE?” ASKS Grant Showerman, Known Here as Sommer School Lecturer, Attacks Educational Vocationalizing In defense of pure culture, Prof. Grant Showerman, of the Latin De partment of the University of Wis consin, who is known at tfie Univer sity of Oregon as a member of the Summer School faculty here two years ago, challenges the materialistic atti tude toward education in an article in the February number of the Wis consin Alumni Magazine, entitled, “On to Where?” After describing a newspaper re port of a pageant held on the Wis consin campus, which after symbol izing the useful arts taught at Wis consin, ended with everybody singing “On, Wisconsin,” Professor Shower man is moved to ask: “On to where? Is everything not directly vocational and immediately related to the practical aifars of lfe to be disowned? Is Wisconsin to be come an experiment station pure and simple, not only in the technical col leges, where there is some excuse for it, but in letters and science as well? “No, it is not. But too much yield ing to inexpert and inconsidered edu cational opinion can damage, if not de stroy. “And not only can it damage the cause of pure learning, but in the very process it must damage the cause of applied learning. It is an exceed ingly superficial view that regards the two as antagonistic or unrelated. “Pure learning enters into the life of the state in two ways. It has a pri mary effect which has to do with the character of the citizen and the ideal of citizenship, and a secondary effect which is manifested in the prac tical affairs of civics and industry.” WEATHERFORD IS IDOL OF SOUTH. SAYS CONKLIN (Continued from page 1.) by their ceremonies. The students are too critical. But the type the Salva tion Army reaches is the man who is a drunkard, a man with low moral standard. Correspondingly the Wea therford type would probably have nc effect on the drunkard, but at the same time would appeal to the emotions ol the college men. I believe an enor mous amount of good will be the re sult of these Weatherford meetings.’ STUDENTS TURN DOWN SUBSIDY FOR OREGANA (Ooattaaad from page 1.) brary stack rooms, which have been closed to the students for some time, are now open again. One condition is imposed however—the student must mention his business within, upon en tering the stack rooms. Donald introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, there has been much pet ty thievery on the campus during the past several months, which has in cluded, among other things, labora tory equipment, coats of students, li brary equipment and books; and whereas, such action on the part of the unknown offender or offenders is injurious to the common welfare of the students of the University of Or egon, since it inflicts by necessity a hardship upon the many for the short comings of the few, Bo it resolved by the Associated Students of the University of Ore gon, that we will support any action taken by the Student Council and the President of the Associated Students to minimize the number of offenders and to ascertain the offenders, and furthermore, that we will co-operate with them in such action.

THIRTY CANDIDATES OUT FOR BASEBALL (Continued from page 1.) exceptionally good arms and are. right there on the whip down to second. Nelson will, of course, figure around the first sack, and “Skeeter” will do the same around short. Second and third are still more open for specu lation. Cornell, veteran second base man, might switch over to third, and then second stands vacant for the present. Left field is Morris Bigbee’s old stand, but both of the other fields are at present wide open to new mate rial. Wilhelm, Morton and Sheehy these places at present, but there are these places at present, but thre are more in the running. Although the new diamond is in anything but good shape right now, the coach and players express the opinion that by the time the big games are played it will not be a field to be ashamed of. There was all sorts of confusion among the candidates when the scramble started to get suits and other paraphernalia. Not enough suits could be found to go around, but the authorities say that this lit tle trouble will never stop things in the Oregon camp, for everything the men need will he on hand before many -of the recruits get the baseball spirit well under way. The first shipment of goods is here now. This said shipment is two do/. en of the best ball bats the “Spauld ing” people make. Those who have seen them say, “Fine.” The baseball schedule is as follows: March 80—Chicago Colored Giants, at Eugene. April 16—Washington, at Seattle. April 17—Washington, at Seattle. April 24 -Willamette, at Salem. April 30—0. A. C., at Corvallis. May 1—0. A. C., at Corvallis. May 7—Willamette, at Eugene. May 12 Washington, at Eugene. May 13 Washington, at Eugene. May 21—0. A. C., at Eugene. May 22 O. A. C., at Eugene. The preliminary tryouts for the Failing and Beckman orations will be held Saturday, April 24. The final orations will be delivered on the ev ening of Tuesday, June 15, during commencemen t week. FIVE FROM Y. M. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU TO SCOUR FOR JOBS “Every student in the University of Oregon should help boost the Employ ment Bureau,” says Don Orput, the new head of the Y, M. C. A. -Student Employment Bufeau. “Some of you know that many of our best men are kept in school by the money they earn doing odd jobs. Of course, the bureau will do its best, but help from the students will make the department immeasurably more effective. “If you see a pile cf wood and no one carrying it in, call up 504 an\j telP us about, it. We have men who need that job. If there is money in ft there is no job too small.” A committee of about five will be appointed this week who will scour the town and surrounding country for jobs.
