THE UNIVERSITY HISTORIAN.
The resignation of the University historian because she
felt that it was impossible for her on account ol other work
to conscientiously fill the position thrust upon her by the stu
dent council wit)lout her consent, brings the A. S. u. U. iace
to face with the problem of hiring an historian to bring the
hisftohy of the University up to date, or to again elect an his
torian to keep the files up from year to year, or as the last re
course, to let the whole thing drop. . , ,
To bring the muddled history of the University up to date
would require the services of a trained historian ior a period
of several months. Since the A. S. IT. 0. coffer would not
stand such a financial drain, this plan is not advisable.
Uurthennore, the University is yet too young to have its his
tory brought up to date. A it . C( tt
The suggestion that the amendment to the A. S. I . U. con
stitution providing for a student historian should be stricken
out entirely is unthinkable. Like a ship without a log, the
University of Oregon would be sailing the seas ot progress,
and yearly when a new boat of passengers came aboard they
Would have no means of becoming acquainted with Oregon s
proud past. w ,T ..
The final recourse is for the A. S. IJ. O. to again name a
student historian with the power of choosing an able staff of
assistants. In the past the keepers of the University’s his
tdry have become discouraged . because there was no solid
foundation upon which to erect the more recent history. The
now historian should be instructed to keep only a detailed rec
ord of the present, a record which in later years will enable a
paid historian to compile a detailed history of the l Diversity
of Oregon. . „ A .
A large staff of assistants were given to the student his
torian in the past, but a lack of co-operation on their part
threw much of the work on the shoulders of the appointed
historian. Assistants should remember that they are detailed
.to perform a task which will make the present live in the
future. Through their assistance the victories and important
happenings in the everyday life at Oregon will have more than
ephemeral importance. Conscientious co-operation among the
historian staff will lighten the work and make possible future
history of the University of Oregon.
Oregon is now known throughout the college world in
sports and in scholastic standings. Everything seems to he
advanced to tin* furthermost stages of progress around the
qanupuH but there is still one thing lacking in the whole to
make Oregon known in all fields of college life. That one
tiling is a comic monthly on the same order as the Sundodger
at The University of Washington, the Pelican at California,
and the Ohapprat at the Stanford University. We must get
that comic paper started this year! This paper would he a
-school endeavor entirely, contributions would he received
from everyone and' more encouraged, II would open the field
of journalism to a wider scope and would introduce a new
field - that of cartooning.
Let's get together and put it across as we have cverv other
undertaking that Oregon has tackled.
THE COLLEGE MOSSBACK.
(Washington Statu Evergreen.)
There are two outstanding groups of
students, those who are progressive and
try to do things nud those who do noth
ing and try to hinder the others. In
every movement nud activity in college
the detrimental element is always in evi
dence ready to stoop to anything to
further their own personal and selfish
Interests or merely to vent their spleen
on someone who is trying to do some
thing for the group or institution. Not
only does such a person calmly sit hack
and offer nothing but adverse criticism
but also refuses to help the thing over
in the manner in which lie wants to have
it done and acts as an obstructionist.
The few who curry on the various ac
tivities have to carry the dead load
weight of the indifferent and work j
against the criticism and influence of
those who retard.
These hitter never have anything nev
er better to offer and cannot present
constructive ideas. The wise leader
get* belli of a negative character from
tbi*se inossbacks hut it is discouraging j
aid. They start to tear down before
they build up and do their reasoning
Brack wards by starting with tin wrong
premises
Many students are holding them
selves mid their college back because
they nrt> afraid to strive fur objects
whit'll nppeur to themselves to be just
beyond their ability to attain but which
if attempted could be accomplished with
case. The spirit which lets nothing
stand in the way tif realization of a
worthy goal is the spirit which gives
life to our college activities. Let's hit
ha rd.
Kvery student should see that it is to
his own advantage and to that of his
fellows to advance the interests of this
college. The better and stronger it
grows the mole able it will be to aid
him. The field of college activities is
open to all.
Let's swing into things and make her
hum.

Put on Probation
(Continued from Page 1)
caused a good deal .of consternation!
among students and faculty, according to '
Carlton Savage, president of the Asso- I
eiated Students, but expulsion was not
deemed advisable since it was Howard’s
first offense and he did seem to realize
the extent of the damage he had done.
"Now that precedent has been started
and the council has made iteelf clear as
to its attitude on such loafers we hope
to have no more such eases to deal with"

FIRE PM
MEASURES URGED
Physical Education School
Seeks Co-operation.
STUDENTS HELP SOUGHT
Protective System Needed,
Says Prof. Bovard.
The necessity of giving serious atten
tion to fire protection by the students of
the University both individually and as a
whole is being strenuously advocated by
the physical education authorities, and
every student is urged to take a per
sonal responsibilmity in the matter.
Tragedies have resulted so often from
lack of fire preparedness that no one can
at any time feel immune from its dan
ger. “Whereas fires are not very fre
quent, au ounce of prevention is worth
more than the cost of a disastrous fire,’
states Dr. John F. Bovard, Dean of the
school pf physical education.
He suggests that everyone should sec
to it not only that be knows thoroughly
the best method of exU in case of fire
in his living quarters but also that his
landlord complies with the law demand
ing fire escapes on buildings in which
students sleep on the third floor.
In all living quarters, Prof. Bovard
continues, should be placed some form of
fire alarm which would be an unmistak
able warning, also that sleeping porches
be protected by rope ladders which must
be kept in good condition.
It is most important, to have an ef
ficient fire drill system, usually organized
with five or six students assigned to a
fire squad whose leaders’ duty it is to
have his squad out in the shortest time
possible and to have a roll call on leav
ing the building. “It is up to the leader
to t ain his group to efficiency,” lie
states.
Professor Bovard also calls attention
to a regulation of the Students Living
t'omrnittee requiring all groups to carry
insurance to cover, first house furnish
ings. and second personal belongings.
The committee does not intend that
each member shall carry insurance oil his
personal belongings, but that one policy
should be taken out to cover the per
sonal effects of every member of the
house.
' The department earnestly requests
that the students will take this matter
seriously and put into effect some meas
ures as suggested.
