REGISTER FOR NEXT
TERM NOW. RULING
Under New System, Period Is
to Last From December 9
14, Thus Avoiding Long
Waiting Line.
Fees Not Necessarily to Be Paid
Till Beginning of the
Next Term.
Registration for next term will begin
*>n the University of Oregon campus
Monday, December 0, and will positively
close on Saturday, December 14, accord
ing to word sent out from the adminis
tration offices today. Under the new ar
rangement however, the fees of regis
tration need not be paid until the open
ing day of the second term, Wednesday,
January 2, 1918.
“Every student except those who know
absolutely that they will not return for
the second term must have his schedule
card made out and filed at the registrar’s
office before he leaves for the holidays,’’
said Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the physics
department, who is head of the commit
tee which organized the new registra
tion rules.
Fine of $2 for Lateness.
“It doesn’t make any difference if
the student makes out his card and then
fails to return to college,” said Dr. Cas
well. “but it does make a difference if he
fails to register and does not return the
second term. A fine of two dollars will
be imposed on any late registrants for
next term, who are in the University this
term.”
Under the new system, according to
Dr. Caswell, registration will bo great
ly simplified, since the week’s time will
do away with the long wait in line at the
registrar’s offices on the one day of
second term registration.
The assembly hour of next week will
probably be given over to conferences
between students who have not already
registered and their maior professors,
with the object of making appointments
with the individual students for making
out their cards.
To Take Only Few Minutes.
“Students may register any time they
wish,” said Dr. Caswell, “although the
registration machinery is not really in
operation as yet. But the system is so
much easier and shorter than the old
way that the whole thing may be accom
plished in ten minutes consultation with
the major professor.
Registration day of the second term
will be given over to the registration of
the new students and will be the final
time for the payment of fees for those
who register this term.
TEACH MUSIC IN SCHOOLS
University Students Get Practical Experi
ence in Eugene.
The members of the class in public
school music training, in the school of

perience in the teaching of public school
students. The advanced members of the
class, ('laire Gazley, Ada Mathews, Alice
Yander Sluis, and Beulah Keagy, are
each teaching in the different public
schools of the city, thus obtaining the
rcquiied experience necessary for their
credit from the class. Each member
of the class teaches for a certain time
each day uni is responsible for the work
of the group in the public school.
The beginners in the work have
adopted the plan of organizing a glee
club in the grades.
Miss Callie Beck is instructor of the
class.

Most of the applicants are university
graduates. Those who are not, have
had the equivalent in actual business
training.

the selection of an all-star team. Th®
task this year is extremely difficult, ow
ing to the many new players on the vir
ions elevens.
The job of picking an all-star team
is by no means an easy one anyhow,
because invariably some college thinks
that Jones, its quarterback, is head and
shoulders above Smith, from a rival
school, who was chosen for the posi
tion. Despite this, the above team wu
chosen as fairly as possible! with only
one idea in mind. Is the man entitled
to the place?
On the Emerald's team are fonr mem
