The report adopted bv the faculty

centrum the following provisions:
Term Grade*- That ns n general rec

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

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.

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.

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.

Newspaper Men Write
Articles.
“Oregon Exchanges,” a monthly per
iodical issued for newspapermen in the
state and published by the e'diting class in
the School of Journalism has gone to
press at the University print shop, and
will probably be ready for mailing on
Wednesday.
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.
