Urges Self Analysis Among Col lege Men; Dr. Adam to Be Banqueted. President P. L. Campbell gave a twpn ty-minute talk at the regular Tuesday night meeting of the Real Stuff club, -iis subject being “A Fight for Character". In his 30 years of experience in Univer sity work he said he had formed the opinion that college men cannot make their characters without actual effort and thought on their own p; rt. That the de velopment o fthe spiritual side of life was liable to be neglected by the over de velopment of other activities, and that he considered it desirable for everyone to have definite periods of thought about the serious side of life, were other points he advanced. It was decided to give a luncheon in the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow Monday noon as a reception to Dr. John Douglos Adam. Other guests will be H. S. Tem pleton, Ivan B. Rhodes, Dr. 'Joseph Shafer, Dr. Edward H. Pence, and President Campbell. Tickets for this luncheon can be secured from the com mittee in charge consisting of Ray Couch, chairman; Bob Atkinson, Roseoe Hurd, Douglas Mullarky, and Wayne Wells. The price is 25 cents. Adam Lectures. (Continued on page three) dresses are well adaptd to student and iences.” Dr. Sparks, president of 1 enn. State college, names him as a ‘‘First-line speaker He lays special emphasis on his ability as a personal worker. “Dr. Adam has a mighty pleasing and powerful personality and as a speaker drives things home in a way that no other man has done for men” is the testimory of the correspondent from Ohio State University. FENCING TAUGHT AT UTAH The manly art of fencing has been attracting attention at Utah. Faculty members and students are receiving in structions from a “professor” with a French name. . JIOI COLLEGE IS PROPOSED CHANGE Faculty Committee Gathers In formation on Group Systems. Supervision of Courses Will Save Flunks and Reinstate ments; More Efficiency. Modification of the University course I of study to embrace the junior college worX is under consideration by a faculty committee which met yesterday. Dr. W. P. Boynton, chairman of the committee, says the object is to get a preliminary outline of the good accomplished by junior colleges in other Universities and formulate .. scheme which could well be used here. In case this meets the ap proval of the faculty before the cata logue for next year is printed, the sys tem will be in use here in the fall; if not, possibly in the following year. Junior colleges have been successful at the Universities of Berkeley and Chi cago and would mean much toward in creasing the efficiency of Orgon, accord ing to Dr. Boynton. During th first two years groups of studies are set aside by each professional school for pre paratory courses. , The freshmen are not to be allowed to flounder around seeking the studies which they think they will like the best and eventually ending with withdrawals and flunks as a result of poor choice. Faculty mem bers instead will take up each new stu dent personally and find out where he obtained his best grades in high school, what his natural talents appesr to be and where they could best be placed in the University.” Considertion of the “major subject” will not come until the first half of the college course is completed. It is ti e belief of those urging this system that fewer flunks will occur and reinstate ments therefore will be unnecessary if this change is made. Professors D. W. Morton, ,T. II. Gil bert, F. L. Stetson, F. S. Dunn, and Dr. Boynton form the committee ap pointed at the faculty meeting on Janu ary 10 to discuss the matter. The first meeting was held yesterday, and others will follow as soon as more material on the subject has been gathered.

One-Fourth Earning Own Ex ’s" penses at Oregon. That a co-ed earning her way entirely through college should not hazard her health by endeavoring to carry full Uni versity work is the decision of a group of employed girls which gathered at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow Thursday for a round-table meeting. The girls decided that it is much better not to attempt so much but to maintain a high standard of efficiency in every thing undertaken. A girl in order to feel absolutely independent must know that she is giving an honest equivalent in work for all value received; to this end, she must not undertake more than she can effectively carry. This round-table for the girls followed a similar meeting of the women employ ing student help last week. Both were conducted by the practical service com mittee of the Y. W. C. A. which has the employment bureau in charge. The pur pose in both cases was to become better acquainted with one another and to dis cuss freely any problems which may have been encountered. Next week Thursday at 4 o’clock a combined round-table discussion will be conducted for both the women and the girls, after which a standard is to be set which will include suggestions as to a sliding scale of com icnsation for differ ent kinds of work, to vary with their dif ficulty. The result of these conferences is to bo wo-ked over and published in a defi nite form following the open discussion next week. Approximately one-fourth of the women at Oregon are either wholly or partly self-supporting and independent. The work done varies widely from all kinds of household :asks to office work and coaching.
