tom WANTS ONLY IB COT!: TO COUNT Resolution is Passed at Meeting Last Night and Will Be Submitted to Faculty. “The Student Body Council shall go on record as favoring a non-accumu lative cut system and favoring the substitute plan that 16 cuts in one year be taken as a maximum number before credits are to be deducted.” This is the gist of thd resolutions finally passed by the Student Council, ••iter much lengthy debate during the regular meeting held last night m Professor F. C. Ayer’s class room in the Library at 7:15. Both the old and the new councils, numbering 20 members in all, were present. A further motion, which was also passed, provided that a committee be appointed by President Tom Boylen to present the resolution. President Boylen stated that he would appint the committee very soon, and that they should try to formulate the best and simplest form possible. Before the sixteen cut maximum plan was voted upon, Elton Loucks made ao motion that 12 cuts be the maximum number each year. There wag much disagreement to this plan, ^ and after a few minutes of debate, Cleveland Simpkins’ motion that the limit be 16 was adopted. Probably the greatest factor in de ciding for the larger number was a statement made by Eva Brock, of the new Council, that the average num ber of cuts for each student this year was 25, and that some students had as high as 60. Several other plans were suggested, chief of which were the two brought up in the last Student Council which was held jointly with some of the fac ulty members to discuss the matter, recently. The first of these was that in the lease of all students who had a grade of M or above, the cut3 against, him should not be count ed. However, cuts were to be charged to those students having a lower grade. The other plan suggested was that the cut rule should be done away with entirely, but 80 per cent of the classes in any one subject be a compulsory number to attend, in order to be allowed to take the ex aminations. It was feared that these plans, es pecially the first, would not meet with faculty approval, because of the extra amount of work which would prob ably entail upon the latter. That the system to be finally carried to the faculty should b$ as simple as pos sible, and that is should not ask for too much, was the plea of President Boylen. “NOT A WALKAWAY, BUT WE WILL WIN” (Continued from Page 1) pionship.

UNIVERSITY IS ADVERTISED At least 50, and possibly as much as 70, columns of news have been printed in the state newspapers the present month concerning the Uni versity of Oregon. During the month of April the state papers printed nearly double the amount of news concerning the University that they printed during the same month of 1914.__ Columbia University has, for the first time, awarded two fellowships to women. STATE NEEDS STUDENTS PREPARED FOR BUSINESS Fletcher Linn Says That They ire Needed for Developing the State. “Education for a specific occupa tion should have a place in our edu cational system, if this state expects to normally develope the vast un touched resources within her boun daries,” said Fletcher Linn, of Port land, manufacturer and business man, whom President P. L. Campnell called in introducing him, “probably the most successful alumnus of this Uni versity.” Mr. Linn graduated from Oregon just twenty-five years ago next month. The untouched possibilities and poor conditions in Oregon are due largely to the fact that our colleges, while they give a man a good gen eral education and fit him admirably for the professions, do not lead him toward the lines of business and man ufacturing development. Out of 500 of the University’s alumni, 70 per cent are professional men, while only 1 per cent are manufacturers. Many college men, folowing fur ther Mr. Linn’s thought, have abso utely no knowledge of business mat ters, and so waste years after they leave college, in really acquiring what they might have secured thru the training of a School of Com merce. “May the department of commerce at this institution soon fill this crying need in our state,” he said. “In Germany, the universities are honored and the ascending of that empire today is due to the indefatig able searching and researching of her scientists. Our schools must pre pare our men not only for the trades, as do the Agricultural colleges, but for the broader fields of commerce, business and producing.” Mr. Linn stated that the condi tions in manufacturing establish ments in this state were anything but deplorable, with the single ex ception of dissipation , and showed that 85 per cent of the checks of a large concern in Portland are cashed in saloons. STUDENTS MAY HOLD EXTRA CONFERENCE (Continued from Page I) ference, if it is repeated. Miss Em ma Wold, teacher of Civics in the Lin coln High School, writes me that in her opinion the students’ part in the last year’s conference was the most significant.” The committee just appointed will consider the feasibility of such a con ference and will possibly arrange for such a meeting on Friday afternoon, May 28. An invitation will be issued to all colleges, universities, and larger high schools throughout the State. Thursday’s session will be devoted to “City Planning” and “Municipal Improvement,” under the auspices of the League of Oregon Municipalities. The speakers are Benjamin C. Shel don, member of the Medford Charter Committee; L. M. Curl, mayor of Al bany; Max Gehler, member of the Salem Charter Revision Committee; Bert R. Greer, chairman of the Ash land Springs Water Commission; A. L. Barbour, city auditor of Portland; Walter P. La Roche, city attorney of Portland, and E. T. Mische, advisor of the Portland City Park Commission. Ernest F. Walker will give an il lustrated lecture on “City Plans” in the evening. “Co-operation Between State and Nation, and Among Neighboring States For the Attainment of Fuller and Freer Use of Idle Resources” will be the Friday morning problem dis cussed by Hon. D. F. Irvine, Hon. J. N. Teal and Ex-Govemor Oswald West. Friday afternoon John H. Lewis, state engineer; Hon. Harry Lane and Louis Sharp wil lspeak on “Arid Lands and Forest Reserves.” Saturday morning will be devoted to a general discussion led by C. C. Colt, Hon. W. K. Newell, C. P. Will iams and Rufus Holman, representa tives of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. “Good Roads” will be discussed in the afternoon session. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 4.—Vas sar College girls have petitioned for abolition of chaperones, the honor system and permission for male guests to visit them on Sunday. GLASS DISMISSAL UP 10 PROFESSORS General Dismissal Has Not Proved Satisfactory, Says Professor Allen. There has been no provision made for a general dismissal of the students this year during the Conference. “The closing of school to enable the students to attend the session has never been satisfactory,” said Prof. Eric W. Allen, of the Information Committee. Two years ago the stu dents were dismissed and urged to at - tend the meetings, but not enough attended to warrant the closing of classes. Last year an account of those who attended was kept, and that also was unsatisfactory. This year the faculty has authorized each teacher to use his own discretion about dismissing classes. A petition from the students expressing their desire to be dismissed and to attend the convention would be favorably con sidered.” UPROAR OVER “BEZ” SCARES AGGIES GEESE (Continued from Page 1) innings late, having had three blow field, Oregon men were on second and third and two were out. Bezdek was thrust in to bat. His unexpect ed appearance caused an Aggie up ror-ir that frightened the wild geese. Bezdek retorted with a single that got Oregon’s run getting well under way. Ayer, Bezdek and Shockley provid ed Oregon's sparkles. Not more than two hits were made off Professor Ayer. Never mind how the nine runs were secured. , fhe Aggie faculty has a team of live young fellows, who look not un like a varsity nine. Bert Pilkington, wide y known as a football man, is catcher, and Collins and Horton, the pitchers, are both classy. After the game, 75 O. A. C. faculty members entertained the guests at a banquet, which was followed by a dozen ‘consolidatio n cf spirit” speech es The return to Eugene was by auto, with arrival at 1:00 A. M. En tertainment of the O. A. C. visitors will include a ba; -et dinner Saturday noon. $2,400 FROM 230 JOBS IS RECORD (Continued from Page 1.) tinued through the second semester under the leadership of Erie Lane. Fifteen students are preparing for foreign missionary service. Two sig nified their intention of becoming missionaries the past month. At present 80 men are doing committee work on the campus. Is There With the Hot Hand Though handicapped financially, the Y. M. took an active part in social affairs, giving two stak mixes and a banquet. The mixes were attended by over 4 0 men. The annual picnic up the mill race has been called off this year on account of the lack of funds. Four Deputation Trips Made Four deputation trips were made during the past year, two to Harris burg, one to Cottage Grove, and one to Pleasant Hill. A trip through Southern Oregon was contemplated, but did not materialize on account of lack of funds. Next year the depu tation work will be started earlier in order that more territory may be covered and the larger towns of Southern Oregon may be visited. The work on these trips is to bring Uni versity life to the young people in these places visited and make appeals to them to continue their educational work and maintain a clean life.
