HR SYSTEM FOR
COMMERCE SCHOOL

Majors and Special’s to Vote
On Proposed Plan By
Seniors Today.
DEAN ROBBINS FAVORS
ADOPTION BY STUDENTS
. 1 •*
Details of Experiment to be
Arranged Later; Spons
ors Are Optimistic. ,
Today the majors and special students
in the school of commerce will decide by
ballot whether or not the honor system
will he used for students registered in all
courses in commerce next term. Ballots
in the form of pamphlets have been
printed and partially distributed among
those eligible to vote. The ballot box is
located upstairs in commerce ball, and
those who have not received their ballots
may obtain-them there or from instruct
ors in classes during the day.
The ballot-pamphlet on which, majors
and specials will cast their votes contain
a outline of the tentative plan for the
honor system, although details such as
the method of procccdure for naming
members of the honor commission, to
which all reports of dishonest work are
brought, has not yet been worked out.
Dean Robbins Favors Plan.
Dean E. C. Robbing of the School . pf
Commerce, has announced himself as in
favor of the plan proposed. “The ulti
mate solution is the honor system.” he
says. “The only way I know to find out
■whether or not the ttybyy.l.U*. J'ca.i\£ for
that solution is to give the plan a fair
trial.”
Although there has been some discus
sion whether other commerce students
than majors and specials would be elig
ible to vote, no definite action had been
taken to change the conditions late last
night. Senior majors in the School ex
pressed themselves as believing that the
resultant vote would he conclusive of the
general attitude of the students of the
school, ns majors and specials would be
the ones most, directly affected by the re
sult. and should accordingly be those who
should make the decision.
Seniors Start Movement.
The movement for the adoption of the
honor system in the School was started
by a group of senior majors, prominent
among whom arc Neil Morfitt, Wilbur
t ar), Don Davis, Jack Bonefiel, Bill!
Steers, Ross McKenna, Barney Garrett,
John Houston, Earl Leslie, Arnold
Kcopke and Ward McKinney.
Practically all of these men have ex
pressed themselves as heartily in. favor
of the movement, and optomistic as to
its adoption. “If we are to make good
"lieu we leave school, we must have
made good upon our own responsibility
here.” says C. Carl Myers, a senior in
the School. Barney Garrett believes that
adoption of the system will mean the'
“stopping of unfair methods of obtain
ing grades that do not represent the
amount of knowledge the student posess
es,”
Believes It Good Step.
Johnny Houston believes that the ae
f'on taken already will lead to adoption
in other departments, and believes that
the experiment will be a success. Ross
McKeniia believes that adoption of the
system will automatically raise the stand
ing of the School on the campus, and
hind the students of the School more
closely together. “If we are ever to
have the honor system in the School of
t ommerce,” observes Don Davis, “we
'aust. make a start.” He adds that, the
Present is the most logical time, since'the
'.Vhool will soon move into new quarters.
1 he list, of majors in the School of
i ommerce is the largest of any of the
schools and departments on the campus.
Jim vote on the honor system is expeet
M to be finite heavy, as considerable in
terest has been aroused since the plan
"as first introduced.

STAFFORD PLANNING
COMMERCIAL PLApT
Oregon Faculty Man fn Tantieme Per
fecting His Process of Wood
Distillation.
Professor O. F. Stafford, head of the
chemistry deiiartment, who has be«;n
from the University for three
school years on a leave of absence, is
in King-port, Tennessee, working on his
new continuous process of wood dis
tillation. In a letter to Dr. F. L. Shinn,
of the chemistry department, Professor
Stufford said he has been very busy for
the last month getting the plant start
ed', but at the time he wrote it Bad
been running for 87 hours, using one
cord an hour of waste wood.
The process is destructive and wood in
the retort is decomposed forming. car
bon from which wood alcohol,: acetone,
acetic aeid and by special process, shin
fflestain and turpentine are made. Mueh
heat has always been lost by cooling the
w'ook and then re-heating while in th£
retort. I5y Professor Stafford’s meth
od the process is continuous, and a
spontaneous beat caused by action on
(lie wood is used to heat the wood com
ing in. The retort is better than he
expected, Professor Stafford said and
the drying process gave the most
trouble.
Plans are now under way for a com
mercial plant that w-ill use 100 cords
of five-foot wood a day,
