The report adopted bv the faculty which goes to assure students that they will have good opportunity to make tinir el edits tliis quarter that they mav grad uate with the classes they nre now in, centrum the following provisions: Term Grade*- That ns n general rec ommendation to instructors, for this firm only, the term grades, us far as possible, shall be based on quality rather than quantity. “Conditions” nml “Incomplete*.”— Thnth for this term the grade “condition” shall not be given, but "incomplete" used instead and that the grades of next term shall l>c used as a basis for removing sueh i’u ompletos, it being understood that this recommendation has no reference.to ii rued failures mid that such lnoom I lotos are to be removed by excellence of work in other subjects taken during the winter quarter, the grades being lim ited to "Passing.” •‘Suspension of nine hour Tide -That the student’s status in th* University s'null not be prejudiced by his record thin Mm “Credit for non comini e-ioned officers.

In explaining these provisions the fac ulty hulletin says: "It is urged that an nouncements be smile to classes of the action relating to students now on the cuuipus in order to make clear to those students who are discouraged and see no value in continuing in class that, in gen eral, it would he much better for them t i remain in the course ami take the ex nminatiou and thereby stand at lea some chsnee of receiving credit ultimate iy for this term's work " l'rom some f aculty members and ad tsinistrstion officials comes th# encoo* tiffing Interpretation that tho action taken means that all students who have shown any. interest whatever and con tinue in class to tRiie the final exami nations will largely he given incomplete.1* tvit h, by the prrtb uas adopted, will be raised to credits if. in tin next quarter, the student makes a fair average showing that under normal conditions he would have made his credits under the S. A» T. C. It will not be necessary, it is pointed out, for students remaining in the University to continue in the sub jects in which they hold incompletes as has been the ruling previously. This is done because many men in the S. A. T. C. bare been taking courses preparing for military service that they^MW m» longer desire to take. With this virtual assurance that near ly, If not all men, will get a chance to make good next quarter, comes an unoffi cial encouragement to the students that under th ? Missouri system of grading followed by the faculty at Oregon, the standard, nitu”ally, will not he so high as formerly while only the same percent age will fail, perhaps not ns great a per centage because of the action taken in re gard to the granting of incompletes this quarter. i No longer docs thpre seem to ho ground that “it is just as well tp stay out until next fall and start right." Thorp is no muse to miss a year out of your life as a college-trained man. Seniors can gradu ate this year as usual, juniors and soph omores will not he compelled to drop in to the class behind them and consequent ly wait a year or half-year longer for their degrees. And freshmen may con tinue with the next quarter assured that with reasonable work they can graduate from Oregon with the (♦iss of 1922. OREGON FORTUNATE High standards of the University be fore the war have stood Oregon in good stead during the S. A. T. C. period, and compared to other schools on the coust and in the middle west, Oregon is fortu- j nate. An official of the Northwest S. A. T, j C. who has visited the campus in con- | nection with his duties in touring bis district made the statement while here i that Oregon, generally speaking, had a much higher standard of men enrolled In the K. A. T. C. and was doing better work than other schools lie had so far visited. An officer in a sister college organiza tion of S. A. T. C. is quoted as saying that he believed it doubtful if more than 9(H) of tlie mot> enrolled would remain for tlie regular college work, a situation probably due to the younger class of men attracted there before really ready in years or preparation for college or uni versity work because of the low en trance requirements which permitted men even last October to enter without high school diplomas. While Oregon was recently instructed to lower her standards for entering S. A. e T. 0. men, no considerable number of Bitdi men have entered, and the quality of Oregon men is high. Very few on the campus now are lacking in the qnalifica tions of college min. Some will leave. These, however, will he mostly married men and those who have already estab lished themselves in business and came j to Oregon merely for the military train ing. and a small number who did not in tend to come to a University under nor mal conditions. The greatest majorit\ are really University men and while at Ore gon have developed a desire to continue their work at the University. They will stay and with the old men, perhaps fifty or seventy-five already returning for the opening of the new quarter. Oregon's en lellment will remain practically the same when the University again resumes the old top-notch basis of a great University. > + * + *«*♦«** 4' ♦ ♦ < DELTA TAU DELTA ♦ <* announces the pledging of ♦ ♦ JOHN MATIN \SKKY ♦ ♦ of Tacoma, \\ ,:sh. ♦ ♦ ♦ >—— Down Alder Street With Alice By SinC’aire Highlow Thpreare so many college girls that all can't 1)0 waitresses, but when they ca.n manage it—they “get by.” Pig. The word of Tat O'Rourke, guard on the Varsity footljill team, can be taken for that. “CJoe,” said Pat., speaking with com j parntive restraint at the Delta Gamma 'lance at the country club Saturday night. “Sow I’m in my element!” .After cutting a dance that lie might get in this “element,” Pat found that the three vviitresses were D. G’s with a different kind of suits on. “Very -unusual waitresses,” is Pat’s alibi which used to be only a comment. “It’s too bad,” Alice declared, “that the influenza ban is to come back and stop the two company dances th« week end just when some of the freshman girls had learned to toko their penciled programs home and make out a ‘real program’ in ink, with better names on it, to keep!” The story in a current magazine tell jing “How to Make an Impression With I \ our Voice Over the Telephone,” ought to be interesting to the gij-1 who last fall took a dance date with a new fresh man who later forgot who the date was with, where she lived and could not think of the nlime of the upperclassman who made the date for him. “Getting on to a Peace Basis,” is Title of Informational 20-Page Booklet. A now pnmphlpt under the head of “Getting on to a Pence Basis,” directed to the attention of the men returning from service, is being sent out by the University. It gives what the University has to say to the man who takes off his uniform and asks, “Where de we go from here?” Made up in a neat, attractive little booklet of twenty pages, it outlines a plan of co-operation with the men desir ing to return to college life. It is dedi cated to former University men about to he released from Service, older men who gave up positions to enlist and who now want to prepare for other work, to the high school graduate and to all those soon to be demobilized. The introduction outlines the needs of many of the men and shows how the 1 niversity is prepared to meet these needs in its return to the normal peace conditions, and urges the enrollment in the University at the beginning of next term. A complete list of the departments and branches of the ('niversity is given for the consideration of the men, and the fac ulty of all these departments offer their services in helping the men to enroll in what they'want. * Knch school or department gives an in troductory paragraph telling the advan tages of that particular school and then outlines the courses open the next term. The list of departments follows: Ar ehitoeture and applied arts, botany, chem istry, commerce, economics and sociology, Knglish literature, geology, Germanic lan guages and literature, Greek, household arts, journalism, Batin, law. mathematics, music, physics, professional courses in physical education, prenursing courses, phychology, public speaking, rhetoric and American literature, Romance languages and literature, tearlnng and zoology. LIKES HER ALGEBRA CLASS Olga Sanderstrom Says INJaishf ield Youngsters tat Math. Profess r and Mrs. K. K. l>el’ou have received h letter from Olga Soderstrom, ’IS. who is now teaching at Marshfield. I have five of the host classes in al gebra that can be found in the state.” sn.vs Miss Soderstrom. "I wish you couid walk in and see them in action. They truiy eat algebra, and their manifested interest is marvelous." Oaring the influenza epidemic Miss So derstrom helped in the hospital working 1’ hours a day when they were short of nurses and as a consequence she had a slight attaek of the influenza herself.

Under the title of “All Over Oregon,” news iiems concerning the affairs and folk of Oregon newspaperdom lend a fea ture to the publication, which is of state wide interest. These items give mention to editors and printers’ devils alike, and include news from the country weekly as well as the city daily. Xu answer to the request for contribu tions made in each issue of “Oregon Ex changes,” Rollin Gittings, exchange ed itor for the Oregon Journal, has given an article entitled “The Silent Partner.” In ids Mr. Gittings writes from experience seme facts about exchange editors and makes his readers realize that such a po sition is far from unnecessary on a paper of any size. The publication also contains a humor ous sketch of what an assistant city ed itor lias to contend with in the line of nuisances during the course of a day’s ■ work. This article was contributed by George Turnbull, professor of journalism at the University, and is headed “Our Friend the Public.” An anonymous writer who signs him selm “An Editorial Writer of the Oregon Journal,” tells his readers that the only way to learn to write even police news, is to he saturated with good reading. The members of the editing class as organized to form the staff for “Oregon Exchanges” arc: Bess Column, editor; Elizabeth Aumillcr, managing editor; Helen McDonald, editor of the “All Over Oregon” section; Frances Blurock, cir culation; Adelaide Lake, head of copy desk: and Erma Zimmerman, proof render. i Patronize Emerald Advertisers.
