Clark was suddenly stopped and held at the point of a gun by an (>. T. <sentry, while trying to pass the drill ground near the Admin istration building on his way to dinner Thursday. The guard approached and said Haiti then kept him waiting until the corporal came no and asked him who he was and where lie was going. Professor (’lurk could not have been “peeved” of course: lur no man likes to be kept waiting for his dinner. Tt is Professor Clark's opinion that military discipline is n vein necessary and a very fine thing in it’s place but be sees no reason why bg, should be made a target for practice by an over enthusiastic sen t ry. The following quotation niislit apply to Professor Clark’s view of ;lio i ffnir: “Zealous men are eve • displaying to ,\m the strength of their belief, while judicious men are showing you I he grounds for it.”- Shenslon". + e « « « ♦ ALPHA TUT OMEOA AX ♦ «■ XOFWFS Till!

Says Professor Sweetser. “Some of the girls on thp campus are getting ‘peeved’ at the wrong time. They have the wrong idea entirely in regard to the new library hours,” says Profes sor A. It. Sweetser. chief sanitation of fieer of the University. “It is for their own good, and to re lieve the congestion in the main reading room at this critical time in the epi demic, that the girls are being asked on certain hours to go to another room to do their studying.” Men's Work Supervised The hours from 7 to 0 in the evenings are reserved for the military men, and all work is done under the direction of the officer in charge. Prom 0 to 11 in the mornings the girls are asked to go to another place since those are the most congested hours. However, on Friday morning the rooms are not crowded, so the girls may have the free dom of the main reading-room during those hours on Fridays. Perhaps these hours on still more days will be opened to the girls if the eommitte in charge finds that the rooms are not overcrowd ed. Neither of these regulations applies to Friday evenings, Saturdays or Sun days. A study room has been provided for the girls in the basement of the library with an attendant in charge. Reserve books may be had there as well as at the upstairs desk. Now Exhaust Fans Professor Sweetser is superintending the installing of a set of exhaust fans in the library, which will greatly im prove the ventilation of that building. Retwoon all tfco periods the windows will be opened and these fans set in mo tion and tlie air changed as much as pos sible in the ten minutes, without danger of drafts. In addition to these other health meas ures, the floors are washed and all the tables and chairs wiped off each day with an antiseptic.

GREGORY HEADS SMJESEMICI Two Faculty Members on Bu reau to Test State’s Edu cation System. A bureau of educational research whose purpose is to test the school sys tems of Oregon has been organized un der 'the direction of Professor C. A. | Gregory of the school of education i with Dr. B. W. DeBusk as assistant. Oregon has been far behind the east ern states in testing the efficiency of its school system. Realizing this fact the bureau was organized and already Pen dleton, The Dulles, Baker, Eugene, Til lamook. Milverton, and many othei smaller places have signified their desire to co-operate in testing their school systems this year. Dr. DeBusk has charge of the educa tional clinic and the physical and men tal measurements and Professor Greg ory has charge of educational measure ments and school tests. Tests in arith metic, reading, algebra, writing, spell ing have been sent for and Professor Gregory is preparing a test in language, i These tests are to be sent to the school superintendents of Oregon upon re quest, and upon their completion they are to be returned to the University where they will be compiled, comparisons and correlations made and sent cut to the school superintendents in bulletin form. These bulletins, through the data obtained, will give accurate comparisons of the progress of the school systems i ()regon. Professor Gregory plans to spend the second quarter of !his year in the field doing work in relati u to tests and mens- i urenionts. Copies of the tests will be available for distribution by November 10 and they may be secured by sending a letter to the Bureau of Educational Research at tbe University of Oregon. The tests are handled at cost so may be obtained as cheaply there as by sending to the original publishers.
