Has Been on Lyceum Circuit for
Past Four Months.
Will Resume Place as Head of
Department of Dramatic
Interpretation.
Archibald F. Beddie, who for the past
four months has been traveling on a
national lyceum course, will resume his ;
lace as head of the department of dra- j
rnatic interpretation upon the opening I
of school in February. Prof. Beddie will i
return to the campus immediately after :
the Christmas vacation period but will,
he engaged in preparing the parts for
(he Oregon Pageant to be given next
semester.
The return of Prof. Beddie was an
nounced by the executive committee fol
lowing its meeting in the Administration
building Saturday night. Prof. Beddie
was granted a temporary leave of ab
sence last September and during his ab
sence Prof. Bates, head of the depart
ment, of rhetoric and English literature, |
assumed the duties of the dramatic inter- i
pretation department in addition to his
regular work.
D. W. Morton, dean of the school of
commerce, will represent the University |
at a joint meeting of the commerce
schools of the United States and the
American Economics Association to lie
held in Columbus, Ohio, December 117-20.
Dean Morton’s trip was authorized by
the committee and he will leave within a
few days for the east.
Because Prof. Conklin, head of the
psychology department was swamped
with University and state work, some as
sistance in the way of a reader and of
fice assistance was granted by the com
mittee. The same arrangement was
made in regard to the law library. Dean
Hope of the law school was authorized
to employ what assistance was neces
sary.
Mcar-Flunkers Divided Into
Groups and Asked Reasons
for Poor Work.
Carelessness Is Rare, Illness
Downs Few and Even Popu
larity Kills Scholarship.
The probation committee composed of
Dr. K. S. Conklin, Prof. 1’. ('. Kobbins,
Miss ,Mabel Cummings. Prof. K. L. Stet
son. and Dr. W. D. Smith, has divided
the names of the ob probationary stu
dents into groups, and each commit tee
member has interviewed his or her own
group.
The plan was hit upon as the best
way to get at the background of the
trouble, by talking to each student per
sonally. The reasons given were varied,
and illness and accidents came in for the
larger share of Maine. To only two or
three eases was frank carelessness as
signed; popularity caused the downfall of
a few.
The purpose of the probation com
mittee is not to find fault; it is to give
to every student every possible oppor
tunity and benefit of conference -to find j
out exactly why the work is unsatisfac
tory”.
There has been much misinterpretation ■
of posts, which in the majority of eases j
were considered as probations. In ;
reality, the two were distinct, and the i
posts were handed out for low grades in ,
any one subject, one hour of five hours, j
They were handed out liberally so that |
no student should by any chance come
up to examination time in danger of
flunking a course. In this way the
faculty hopes to avoid the usual tear up. j
which comes with the end of each
semester.

PARENTS’ BUREAU OPENED.
The Registrar’s office of the Univer
sity of Texas has opened a bureau for the
purpose of informing parents of stu
dents, and others entitled to know, just
how much, and what kind of work the
individual students are pursuing. More
than one thousand letters have already
been sent to the parents of freshmen
and sophomores. On one side of the en- I
closed sheet of paper is written the
number of courses taken by the student, |
and just how much outside study should j
be necessary to complete the programme
satisfactorily. On the other side is a
lengthy explanation of the embarass
ments which would accrue to a student iu
the event of his being placed on proba
tion.
