W ESTER FIELD Manager’s and Editor's Pbone—sil. Give ‘Em the Osky. NOW IS THE time for that traditional Oregon Spirit to come to life. Football is in the air—and football means “pep.” . The squad leaves the depot at 7:20 a. m.- Thursday for Pullman for the first conference game of the season. This is the crucial moment for Oregon The lemon-yellow either rises or falls according to the way the game goes with Washington State College. Distance, the high cost of railroading and studies combine to make a rooting section at Pullman an impossibility, but still the Oregon Spirit can go to Pullman and contribute its share—and no meagre share —toward a victory. The thing is to get that team electrified, en ergized and pepified with fight. It can be done in one way, and one way only; every stadent, every Oregon fan,—aye, even every faculty member thrust aside his attitude on intercollegiate ath letics—meet at the depot at 7 a. m., and bring every erg of lung power available, and when the train pulls out for Pullman give them the “osky”—and make it full of punch and pep. The Cut System—Again. INADVERTENTLY the other day a prominent upperclass man defended the cut rule with the! argument that certain under classmen need a sword of Damocles hanging over their immature pates to keep their scholastic pursuits above board. And specific instances were cited—names mentioned—of students who often have to be dragged out of rosy slumber before they remember their eight o’clock. The statement has impressed us as correct, but still the sop orific propensities of a small fraction of the students should noi determine the application of a law. We are still safe on the “anti’ side of the question, but recognize the potency of the argument. Our answer to the argument is that the faculty consider a proposition which would make allowance for such cases as might occur among underclassmen In the same way that parental dis cipline is maintained to advantage until the prodigal son or the mother’s angel reaches a certain development, in the same way, we think, faculty-imposed discipline should be applied. The cut rule has its advantages when applied to students in their first two years, but in the last two years it should be placed on an in dividual honor basis- and if scholarship still suffers because of “cutting” the would-be student should be shown the shortest way home. Such a system of applying the cut regulations to the stu dent in his first two years and automatically withdrawing it dur ing the last two years would operate, we think, in a manner as to preserve attendance during the critical period and still not main tain such compulsion long enough to deprive the student of some of the greatest assets of efficiency—self-responsibility, judgment, initiative and honor. “I’m Going to Eat Progressively—Are You?” THE HIGH cost of eating is a sad reality this year, but every progressive Oregon man should go to the progressive dinner Fri day night even if he has to face his creditors with a “I’m broke” physiognomy. In fact we favor every man wearing the official tag of the feed on the lapel of his coat. The cause is a good one. The women of the University rep resenting the women’s league want a building and the men of the University can each and every one contribute his little share by gormandizing to his heart’s content. Even if the progressive part of the program is somewhat similar to going to classes, we urge everybody to come join the hungry throng—on Friday night, remember. If the University of Michigan can raise $1,000,000.00 for a union by their college yell, how much can the University of Oregon raise for a women’s building by a progressive dinner? It depends entirely on whether human nature would rather open its purse strings to stop the din of discord or whether it would rather satisfy its stomach, to the tune of sweet music.

Campbell siHjnt last Thursday at the state fair in Salem The president was very deeply inter ested In the exhibit of the I'nlversity extension department, which was un der the supervision of Karl Ktlpat rick of that department. One build ing is exclusively devoted to eduea tionut exhibits this year. President Campbell says the exhibits from aP over the state were except Iona U\ good. Th question of having a larger number of the faculty members in the Kugeue Chamber of Commerce is being taken up by N. C. Grimes, secretary to President Campbell. The movement is being well received by the faculty and a good list of names has been obtained. Mr. Grimes said. Montana defeated the University of Idaho 15-3 Saturday. Sam Cook reported to have been one of the stars of the game. The heavy Multnomah team was able to score only one touchdown against Whitman Saturday. Yale’s hopes dropped Saturday when the University of Virginia se cured an easy victory over ‘‘Old Eli” in the Yale Bowl. The score was 10 to 0. ‘‘Bill” Tuerck displayed the “go get-’em talent” Saturday. The Aggie crushed the light Wil lamette team, 69-0, last Saturday, while Oregon ran over the Pacific University, 47-0. The University of Washington met a scrub team from Ballard Saturday and succeeded in getting only 31 points. The captain of Company M at O. A. C. is reported to be in possession of a “U. of O. Gym” towel, while an Oregon track man is strutting around in an O. A. C. jersey turned wrong side out. The president of the "Bow-wows” has apointedt a com mittee to investigate. Hoskins is surely there when it comes to end runs. “Pop” Cornell and his trailing band of rovers kept the “crowd” off the field during the Frosh-Eugene high game. The Frosh displayed real “Var sity” style in their offensive and defensive work. That man Abrahams of P. U. will become famous if he doesn’t watch out. We all sigh in relief as the first football rally of the year approaches. Let's make it a good one! There is a strong movement on foot to form a Pacific conference, in clu'ding Oregon, Washington, Cali fornia and the O. A. C.

Credit, Says Miss Hair. “With an enrollment of about 350 students, the extension depart ment of the University shows a de cided increase over last year.”” said Miss Mozelle Hair. “Students of the University who were unable to re- i turn are members of these courses; the remainder of the number in cludes teachers, stenographers, clerks, housewives, and business men who desire cultural courses. Again the most popular courses seem to be English, history, education and lit erature. Under Professor Morton of the commerce department a new course in accounting principles is offered to young men to increase business efficiency. “The class work promises to be a feature this year.” said Miss Hair, “of the work. At the preliminary meeting held September 24 by Mrs. Parsons at the Central library in Portland, 300 people interested in English alone attended. Others wanted German, psychology, and public speaking. “Thdre is an increased serious ness in the work, too, this year. ' went on Miss Hair. “Last year many came out of idle curiosity or to take up their time, but this year they seem to be there for sincere study. Many w'ant credit for their work. Of the 78 enrolled in the short story course, 23 desired credit in the Uni versity. In the novel class 2 0 out of the 93 members wanted credit. With the remainder of the classes the proportion is about the same, in some cases, greater. uuring tne year January i, i»h, to June I, 1915, 154 students com pleted courses in which the yearned ! 72V6 hours of college credits. This is about equal to the number of hours earned by 2 2 students in one year of college work. Of these 72M> hours, 2314 were entrance units. In the extension work there are 4 2 instructors, who are from nearly ev ery department in the University. Vaughn McCormick, ’15, is teach ing Latin at Graham High School.
