HONOR SYSTEM FOR
JUNIQRS AND SENIORS
“S” and “H” Folks Can Pursue Knowl
edge in Their Own
Way
An honor system whereby Juniors
and Seniors in the University are el
igible to be placed in a privileged
position by their major professors
and to take special work in certain
subjects, was adopted by the faculty
of the University Tuesday afternoon.
The plan is the outcome of a sugges
tion made by Professor Howe, head of
the Department of English Literature.
A resolution to the effect that danc
ing shall be greatly restricted next
year was also introduced yesterday.
It will lie on the table until the next
meeting. The measure provides that
no regular residence fraternity or so
rority or dormitory shall give more
than two parties, formal or informal,
during the school year.
“The honor system as adopted
Tuesday is similar to the English
University system,” said Professor
Howe. It is also similar somewhat
to the German Universities and to
the system now used with graduate
students. By application, a student
requests his major professor to rec
ommend him for this division in some
subject. If he has had an “S” or “H”
grade in this subject for at least one
year previous, he is permitted to take
special work in the subject applied
for without having to attend regular
classes. He receives no grade at the
end of the year or semester, but only
hy taking a final examination at the
time of graduation. His professor
may exempt him from the cut sys
tem in the honor subject.
“The kernel of the system is that
the student will be treated like a man
instead of a boy. He must have shown
ability to develop and to do indepen
dent work in this subject. He is
thereby given an opportunity to fol
low up the work as he wants to, along
the lines he desires, and o a more
extensive scale than the class room
permits,” said Professor Howe.
The system is not compulsory on
the various schools and departments,
but is lfet optional with the heads of
the departments. It will not apply
to some of the more technical de
partments, as Law, Architecture and
others. The system has been adopt
ed for next year and will go into ef
fect next fall.
The faculty committee which worked
out the plan was composed of Dr.
Schafer, Dr. Conklin, Dr. W. D. Smith,
Professor C. V. Dyment and Profes
sor Howe.
Professor E. W. Allen, head of the
Department of Journalism, is much
elated by the showing of University
of Oregon graduates and ex-students
who are mentioned in the last month
ly news letter of the American Asso
ciation of Teachers of Journalism as
making good in journalistic work.
Of the twelve mentioned, four are
from this University: Helen Driver
on the Tacoma Ledger, Henry Fowler
of the Baker Herald, Ralph Ash of the
Marshfield News, and Mae Smith of
the Portland Oregonian.

is so desired.
Neither is the extensive use of
charts being given prominence at this
session. Besides a large forestry map
from Portland, the only ones on dis
play are municipal and financial
charts.
“It is planned to make the results
of the Commonwealth Conference the
beginnings of some movements for
practical changes and improvements’’
said Professor Young.
STUDENT COUNCIL VOTES TO
HELP IN COMMONWEALTH

termined as the mcrey spent during
the four years is pretty well known
now. This, I think, would do away
with the Oregana bugaboo, as there
would always be a large amount of
money in the treasury. Another
change which would have to be made
is that one class advisor would carry
his class through the four years, in
stead of a different advisor each
year.”
James Donald expressed his opin
ion as favoring the abolishment of in
tercollegiate athletics, but no action
was taken by the Council.

Monthly Supplement to Emerald is
Suggested as a Safety Valve
for Student Genius
A periodical outlet for the pent up
short stories, poems and essays of
student writers, in the form of a
monthly supplement section to the
Emerald, has been suggested and is
being agitated as an addition to next
year’s paper.
The idea is the suggestion of Milton
Stoddard, and first appeared among
series of suggestions handed to Pro
fessor Allen as an assignment in his
course on newspaper management.
Stoddard would have a monthly ap
pendix, in which the strictly literary
work of the students should appear.
It might be about the same size and
shape as the magazine section of the
New York Times.
“There are ten times as much lit
erary effort this year as last,” says
Stoddard. “The local celebrities are
even knocking at the door of the East
ern press with some really good
stuff. The Oregon Monthly, which
used to furnish an outlet for this ma
terial, failed not because of lack of
financial support, but because not
enough literary interest was mani
fested. Since this is not now true,
a supplement as suggested should be
a success.”
The sentiment is also expressed by
Professor Thacher, who holds that the
stories being turned out by his class
in short story writing are of suffi
cient value and interest to become an
asset to the paper.
There arise, however, numerous
considerations which would dispar
age the plan. It has been pointed out
that a school with a literary paper
may be considered dead, while one
without sdch a publication may be
considered otherwise.
According to Professor Allen, who
has had experience with such endea
vors, it would be difficult to restrict
the material so as to prevent the in
stilling of a literary atmosphere.
“There is a marked difference,” he
says, “between a story magazine and
a paper such as the Emerald.”
The supplement would have to pay
for itself, too, Max Sommer announce
es. The Emerald is not a money
making proposition, but it must be
self-supporting. The coslj (of pub
lishing the additional pages would
have to be met by additional adver
tisements.
The present Editor, Lee Hendricks,
volunteers the information that there
is too much of real news, now, to be
entirely covered by the three times
a week publication. He says that the
supplement has been suggested be
fore, but it never has been consid
ered practical to issue it.
The proposition is being pushed
by the members of Ye Tabard Inn,
the organization of short story writ
ers.
PROFESSOR ALLEN WILL OFFER
NEWS COURSE THIS SUMMER
During the summer school, Profes
sor E. W. Allen will conduct a course
in newswriting designed primarily
for those desiring to improve their
journalistic style and for those in
tending to teach journalism. All stu
dents enrolled regularly in journal
istic courses will be barred from the
course.
“Last year I held no class during
the summer session, and this year I
expect my class to be small,” said
Professor Allen. “There will proba
bly be a student or two, a sprinkling
of school teachers, and perhaps a
newspaper man or two, and as the
course will hardly fall under the reg
ular plan of my journalism course I
cannot give the course, or rather the
! credit for the course, to any journal
ism students.”

the Initiative, Referendum and Recall
in Oregon,” wil be published by the
Macmillan Company. It will be a

Dr. Barnett, and will probably be outi

OREGON SHOULD WIN
TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP
(Continued from Page 1)
high to beat Monroe, of Washington
State, who made Stuller break the
record to beat him last year. Ed
munds, of Whitman, and Walters, of
Washington, also have a good chance
to get in on this event. This same
Walters should win the broad jump,
with Morrison, of Idaho, and Muir
head also coming in, and Fee with a
chance to place.
“I like Cochran, of Washington, best
in the pole vault, with Cassidy and
Monroe, of W. S. C., and Fee all
pressing him pretty close.
“The shot lies between Sam Cook,
Edmunds, of Washington, Johnson, of
0. A. C., and King, of Washington
State, with Sam looking a bit the best.
Cole and Edmunds are in a class by
themselves when it comes to the dis
cus, and will take tne two best plac
es. They are going to pull off some
nice discus throwing, too.
“ ‘Buck’ Phillips, of Idaho,'will of
course win the javelin throw, while
Dement, of Whitman, and Deats, of
W. S. C., will work closest to his
mark. Washington State will prob
ably hook the relay.”
Bill pays high tribute to Edmunds,
of Washington, who recently estab
lished an American intercollegiate rec.
ord in the discus by sailing it 140
feet 10 inches, but he says that it is
easy to throw the weights at Wash
ington because the field slopes in the
direction of the throw.
“How am I going to enter my
men?” he said. “Well, Loucks will
be entered in the 440, half, 220 and
relay; Nelson in the 880 and relay;
Cook in the shot, discus and relay;
Payne and Huggins in the mile and
two-mile; ‘Moose’ in both hurdles,
both jumps, the javelin and the re
lay; and Fee in the pole vault, both
jumps, high hurdles, javelin, discus
and shot. He, by the way, is paid
by the points made and not by the
piece.
I have not decided definitely who
the eighth man will be, but at pres
ent it looks like Langley will get the
place. He could run the half, mile,
two-mile or relay. If we have to win
the meet by the relay, though, we are
going to lose.
“The men are in good shape, no one
is stale. In feet, they are inclined
the other way, owing to the difficulty
in training lately. If we win, well
and good; if we lose—no alibis.”
