The new system allows the professor com plete and unhampered power to post students at will, and there are cases being complained of by students now which make it ap pear that wrong is being done, j It is the belief of some that pro-j fessors who were opposed to the new system before it was adopt ed are now using it to an unfair advantage in order to make the new system appear a failure. Following is a circular letter being sent from the Registrar’s office to all members of the fac ulty, which the Emerald pres ents to its readers as voicing its ideas on the matter: “It is evident that in some in stances instructors are posting students without due delibera tion and discrimination. This is contrary to the spirit of the leg islation. . An instructor should post a student only after the student has become so delinquent in his scholarship or in his at tendance that he is on the road to failure unless his ways are mended. In other words, a post should be sent in only after the case has gone beyond the control of the instructor and he is no longer able to cope with it. "There have been cases where instructors have sent in posts and later have requested that they be withdrawn, which is, of course, impossible. Some have reported that posts have been sent in because of lack of knowl edge of the eases. Others have requested that posts be with drawn because they later learn ed that the student was ill. A student should not be posted un til the instructor has convinced himself that the case is hopeless, so far as he is able to remedy it. and that it needs the attention of the probation committee. “A post is a serious matter. It brings the student before the chairman of the probation com mittee. Two posts place a stu dent on probation and take him off all activities and in addition require him to take a form to each instructor every month for a report. It may also involve his being b**' « >. bation committee for reprimand and in some cases two or more posts have caused a man to be dropped from the University. Failure to bear in mind the ser iousness of posting and the in discriminate use of this weapon is liable to work injustice to the student and to destroy the ef fectiveness of the system. "On the other hand, a student should be posted immediately and invariably whenever the quality of his work or the irreg ularity of his attendance have reduced his standing in a course to the danger line. The success of the “Posting System” depends very largely upon its careful, prompt and uniform use by all members of the faculty.” The person who stole the law bench might, have had the interests of the profession at heart. The bench, ac cording to Webster, not only means the presiding throne of the judge but “a collection of dogs for exhibition”, as well. The law department developed a candidate for constable, the Latin de pai-tment one for coroner, but unfor tunately the bacteriology department failed to enter a candidate for the of fice of stock inspector. Now that the University’ battle for higher education has been won it is time for the students who supported it to turn their attention to their own individual battles for higher education. The term is almost over. Last Monday’s holiday is over but everyone looks forward confidently to: another one next. Monday. History seems to have a habit of repeating it sblf just now. Some students get as much pleasure 1 out. of keeping company with a girl on the dollar as with the girl on the campus. I EDISON MARSHAL IS ON VISIT TO CAMPUS Oregon Writer Takes to Novel and Boosts Monthly Income Up to Four Figures Edison Marshall, probably Oregon’s greatest and best paid writer, Is on tho campus today visiting his fra ternity brothers at the Delta Tan Delta houso. Since his last visit, Mr. Marshall, who was a member of the class of till 7. has acquired a wife, additional avoirdupois and a heavier stock of health than ever. Having married, ho found it incuitt bent on himself to increase his in come. Ho therefore has given up the short-story field in which he won suc cess and taken up the novel. He likes the longer story equally well, he says; finds it just as easy to mar ket and gets as much a word. Edison was not talking for publication when he replied to questions about his in come, but maybe the income tax man, is not a close reader of the Emerald, Last month was a little better than average; in fact, it was Mr. Marshall's best month. Since he did not work on Sundays he had to content himself with a mere 54.400 (four thousand, four hundred dollars!, with which he will try to worry along for a few weeks. Stories of the outdoors are engrossing Mr. Marshall’s time and interest just now. He considers their appeal wider than that of any other type of stories. SEABECKERS TO TAKE RIDE Hayracks. Trucks, l-ords, and Autos to Be Used June 3 Hayracks, trucks, Fords, and auto mobiles will bo used for the big Sea beck ride to be given on the evening of June at 7 o’clock by the Y.M.C.A. and Y W.C.A.

V splendid musical program has been planned for the evening and bushels of marshmellows have been ordered to help round out the even ing. The tickets will be sold at all the organisations on the campus as soon as they are issued and. accord to the committee, it would be wise to procure them early.

GIRLS’ DEBATE PARODIED Coaches, Guests At Dinner, Show Team How to Argue Professor Prescott, in the presence of his wife, contended that women should not have everything they want. Profesor Robbins, admitted that his vote was really his wife’s. Ralph Hoeber, single, won favor for him self in the eyes of the women by ad mitting woman's growing superiority over man. Walter Myers, a husband, expressed the opinion that women should have the last word. All this at the dinner given by Hendricks hall for the women's debating team and their coaches last evening. The cause of the expressions was an inpromptu debate on the question "Resolved; That women should sup port a political party of their own" This happens to be the subject debated by Oregon's victorious women speak ers this year. Five women present were chosen ns judges, and some one of them— Miss Talbot. Mrs. Prescott, Mrs. Dat son. Mrs. Myers or Mrs. Robbins—is not a sutfregette. One vote was cast for the negative in spite of conten tions made by the negative which should have prejudiced any woman citizen.
