THE NEW CUT SYSTEM
EMBERS of the fac
ulty are to be com
plimented for yield
ing to the demands of
the student body for
a new cut sysem.
The new plan puts
more responsibility on
the students and if it is to be suc
cessful every student must real
ize this and do his utmost to live
up to the spirit of the new sys
tem. Many students now are
thinking seriously of student
government for Oregon. The
manner in which we shoulder
the individual responsibility of
the new cut system will show to
a large degree whether we as
students are capable of govern
ing ourselves.
The new plan is a step toward
student government in that it
involves the principle that we
should attend our classes for the
good we are to get from them
rather than being compelled to
attend them because of the fear
of having cuts recorded against
us.
However the new plan cer
tainly offers no opportunity to
cut class and not be called to
justice. Excessive cuts will now
bring a post from the professors
the same as does inefficient
work. Two posts from either or
both causes will result in pro
bation for the offenders. That
the faculty mean to carry out
this provision of the new plan
strictly is shown by the fact that
24 students were posted within
>12 hours after the revised plan
went into effect.
The new plan is admirable in
that it does away wih the old
time system which embodied the
losing of University credits be
cause of cuts and also the hard
ship working plan of the past
two terms which would not al
low individuals to know how
many cuts they had recorded
against them.

The fact that lack of housing fa

use a haunted house as a laboratory
and are able to work in safety shows
that the departed souls are in sym
pathy with the* mUliige hill.

BUSINESS STUDY PLANNED
McMinnville Asks Aid of Extension
Division for Young Men
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity lias been asked by the Mc
Minnville Commercial Club to help
plan an educational course of study
for the young busines men of that
city. The work is expected to be
given through lectures by the Uni
versity instructors and by corres
pondence tsudy. Salesmanship. Mo
ney and Banking. Transportation, and
Advertising are some of the subjects
suggested. It was at first planned
to start classes Immediately, but it
has now been decided to wait until
next fall.
Mis-. Mozelle Hair, secretary of
the Extension Division, visited Mc
Minnville last week and discussed
tho plan with Harper N. Jamison, a
graduate of Oregon In 1910 who
started this movement, when it was
decided to wait until next fall be
fore beginning this work.
THUGS WORK ON STODDARD
University Graduate Loses in Tilt
With Five New York Bad Men
Milton A. Stoddard, graduate of
1917, who has been in New York for
some time was attacked by five
thugs, knocked down, kicked, pound
ed, given a general beating, and re
lieved of his watch and some loose
change not long ago, according to a
letter received by a member of the
University faculty. “My eye looked
like a piece of raw beefsteak for
about four weeks,” the communication
relates.
That this experience was quite
common and to be expected is Stod
dard’s opinion, as expresed in the
letter. He felt that his experiences
in New York would not have been
quite complete without such a hap
pening, he believes, and feels en
tirely content that he was the victim.
MEN TO SEE APRIL FROLIC
Best Stunts to Be Repeated in Arm
ory May 22 for Public
Those of the men who have always
had a curiosity to know what real
* ly happens at the April Frolic, from
which they have been so rigorously
barred, will have an opportunity on
May 22 to see the most entertaining
selections from that frivolously fro
licsome afair. The stunts put on
by the houses will be given again
in the Armory with the public cor
dially invited and urged to attend.
The proceeds will go to the wom
en’s building. Deady bugs will hop
across the stage, the evolution of
courtship will be ardently portrayed,
dainty inmates of harems will peep
from behind veils, and a song revue
worthy of professionals will be
heard.
And there is to be a jitney dance
afterward.
