JOURNALISM SCHOOL TO RE-ORGANIZE WORK Freshman Course Will Be Com bined With English in Five Hours a Week. Courses of Senior and Junior Years to Be Intensified by Dean Allen. The school of journalism has prepared for the forthcoming University cata logue a statement of its courses for next year based upon a plan for greatly in tensifying the journalism work of the i senior year, emphasizing also the thiru year courses, and placing the freshman and sophomore worked in a ne wcassifi cation called “pre-Jojrnalism.” An arrangement inis been completed! with the English department, und ;r which the six hours formerly devoted by the freshmen to Englisl and journal ism in separate courses of three hours each will be consol: lated into a single daily course of five hours. Dr. E. S. Bates, head of the English department, has assigned the hanuling of that de partment’s share of the work to I’ruf, W. F. G. Timelier who was formerly a It la far better to COOK W.TH GAS Than to gas with the Cook Phone 28 OREGON P0WE!1 CO. magazine editor. Dean E. AV • Allen will teach the school of journalism’s yart of the course. The guiding purpose of the new con solidated freshman course will be gain ing in the careful and accurate use of English. As all th; journalism fresh men will thus be in a single English section, closer cooperation and frequent conferences between the English and journalism instructors will be possible. The student, doing all hi.; work for both departments on the typ writer and in the form demanded by newspaper and magazine editors, will, by the end of bis first year, have tejuired permanently many of the fundamental habits on which sound tnrning in journalism can later be built, according to Professor Allen. The senior work, now a three hour course in editorial writing, history of journalism and contemporary journalism with separate one-hour periods for spec ial newswriting assignments, accounting work in the printing department, and the law of the press, will be consolidated into a regular five hour course, and will include more practice work in editing, handing exchanges, investigating Oregon conditions, and studying problems or newspaper management. Proofreading will be taught in the shop as a laboratory course, and not combin, d classroom and labor, tor/ course as at present. Copyreadiug will remain in tl*e junior year, as a wor,; 1* advanced news writing. The mcch n'.cal courses will remain in the sophomore year for the u'esent. Conditions in the northwest are favor able at present for the trained man i.i journalism, according to Prof. Allen, and the school of journalism lias this year repeated its experience o. previous years by having more applications from editors in need of reporters than it has been able to meet. Graduates are making good salaries and meeting with ready promotion he says. COMMERCE BULLETINS Dean Morton last Friday opened up a new class in banking in Salem. Includ ing these classes the extension depart ment of the school of commerce has nearly 200 students enrolled. Ansel It. Clark, of the Chamber of Commerce, will deliver a lecture to the students in industrial, survey on Wed nesday at 2:00 p. m , in Peady hall. The lecture will cover sonu phase of export trade. Prof. I. 11. Jackson is in Albany at tin1 present time for the purpose of ad dressing a class of bin kers on the sub ject of practical banking.

Mask and Buskin at n special meeting voted to produce “Stephanie Steps Out” by Bess Column on March Mi and 17. at Guild hall. This will be the second play tho association lias produced from Miss Column's pen. Cleveland Simpkins will coach the play. The east will be decided at the next meeting. Charles Prim, president of (he organ ization was in town over last week end. This week he will be in Seattle on busi ness and also to arrange for an exchange of plays between the Mask and Buskin and the Mask and Quill chapters. “We expect to get n Washington play down here either the last of this semester or lh(“ first of next,” said Mr. I’rim. “The cast will necessarily be small in order to cover expenses. Both plays will bo writ ten by campus authors, and both casts will lie composed largely of senior and post graduate members. That report about post graduates not taking part is not true. We are trying to keep a close or ganization among all our post graduate members.” April (1 the members of Mask and Bus kin will take lledda Gabler to Medford. The night before it will be given here as a benefit for the fraternity magazine, “The Cue”. The cast will include the fol lowing: Helen Braclit, Golden Barnett. W. F. G. Timelier, Rosalind Bates, Fyla Walker, Rosamond Slmw, Mary Watson and E. S. Bates. Ruling Permits Dismissals at Any Time Grades Are Low. Faculty Committee Finds Sev eral Reinstated Students in Serious Plight. A new duty wus placed upon the pro bation committee at the beginning of this semester when it was given the authority to dismiss from college any student who was reinstated upon the eondition that he do good work this semester, at any time his work beeomes unsatisfaetory. Through the registrar's offiee, instructors report once every two weeks to the pro bation committee concerning the work of the IS students conditionally rein stated from last semester. Professor M. S. Conklin, chairman of the probation committee, declares that several of these students are in a serious predicament, for so far a number of the reports are very unsatisfaetory. This new duty has no effect upon the relation between the probation commit tee and the students placed on proba tion due to poor work, in which the com mit lee acts merely as an advisory body. The new ruling affects only those con dit iouall v reinstated. The probation system, although it can not safeguard the passing of all students, is doing much, acitirding to Professor Conklin, to help students complete their courses. Out of fit students placed on probation last November, only id failed to make eight hours at the end of the sem ester. Of the ,'it. is were freshmen. It were sophomores and 5 were juniors. The present probation system was es tablished last spring to bundle the cases I of many deserving students, who, because ! of outside work or because they were |carrying no hard courses, thmked out. t he act establishing tins , oatmi:tee pro vides that students who up to the middle of November and the middle of March I have not carried their hours satisfactor ilv are put under the supervision of the probation committee. This hotly advises them and if necessary revises theii | courses. Send the Emerald home Old-Time Music Beguiles 500 to Dance; Ballyhoo Men Play Havoc With Purses.

The much cherished dream of a new Women’s building is approximately $125 nearer a reality than it was before the proceeds from Saturday evening's “Kol lege Kid’s Karnival” were added to the fund. The entertainmi nt brought a total of $182. Music, floor hire, and various other minor expenses are expected to cut the net earning of the affair down to something like $125. according to fi nancial manager of the revel, .Toe Hedges. This is more than was ex pected. The seniors managed to beguile, en tice and inveigle 280 unwary victims in to their side show, thus adding to the evening’s coin taken in, the sum of $14, tlie largest aggregate of dimes shown by any of the classes. V. ith $11.40 to their credit, the freshmen come next. The juniors took in $0.50, or just .50 cents more than the sophomores. The “sophs” attribute their deficiency to their lack of door tenders. More than 150 townspeople witnessed the carnival from the gallery, paying ten cents for the privilege. Gallery re ceipts amounted to something over $15. K. K. K. was a creation.

SOUTH SEA ISLAND IN PLAY Hut Interior Another Feature for “Ad miral Crichton.” Entirely new scenery, consisting of an English drawing-room set, a beach scene on a South-sea island, and an island hut interior, are to be used hi the production of the "Admirable Crichton”, which is to be staged in Guild hall on March CO and .'il. Two committees, selected-from tile senior class in dramatic interpre tation are busy working on the scenery and decorations. In addition to the new scenery, special lighting ■' ill be featured in the play. The action calls for such effects as an English sunset, moonlight on a desert j island and the red glow of the camp-fire, i all of which are being perfected by the I committee in charge. 742 Willamette Street THEATRE THURSDAY and FRIDAY pif
