C. is no place for loafers, and the sooner nil such realize this, the better for the college.” Well, Oregon’s faculty declined to teach higher education to eighteen students, and in addition placed 126 on proba tion. That might be something for us to brag about if we were so inclined. Here’s Oregon and 0. A. 0. both raising their scholastic standards, as befits state institutions after the people of the state have voiced their confidence in Ore gon's higher educational institutions through the medium of the millagc bill, and Oregon, with less than half the enroll ment of 0. A. 0., succeeds in ejecting eighteen students for failure to make the required number of hours, while the Cor vallis institution misses but fourteen. Of course it is self-evident that Oregon is raising its scholastic standard much quicker than 0. A. C„ judging from tko number of these who failed to Jive up to the higher re quirements. And we hold no brief for those eighteen who are Udt with us now. We do sympathize with those 126 who are on probation, and avc hope for some future remedy that will eliminate the probation disease. But the absence of the eMtnteeu will not be missed very much. As 0. A. C. is no place for loafers, neither is Oregon. So much better for the University also. But it just comes to us that maybe the faculty of the Uni versity are endeavoring to raise the scholastic standards of the University requesting more students to leave school than the Corvallis institution, ami thus being able to say that the University has a higher standard than the College. We believe in a Greater Oregon, and we believe that rais ing the scholastic standard of the University is a means to that end. But let’s not point with pride to those who were! naked to leave school and sav: ‘‘Here’s the evidence.” Let’s rhthor make the entrance requirements such that no hopeless iptifcr may enter the University, and if one acquires the awful lihbit here let’s give him all possible opportunities and all possible aid to effect a cure before we send him on Ins way. A week ago, the Emerald urged the athletic department of the University to get into close personal touch with prep school athletes throughout t.he state, believing that personal friendship with the coaches and trainers at Oregon would do more to bring the high school athletes to Oregon than many other inducements. A former editor of the Emerald lias writ ten that he also believes that such a procedure on the part nf Oregon’s athletic staff would bear fruitful results. Let’s tql our athletic department about the men we know, and have them get into personal touch with the prep students themselves. We point with pride to the Emerald’s announcement col unm.

The Campus Cynic ] j _ __l BEHOLD: THE PROF. To the Editor: /There are instructors and instructors; tfcair name is legion. They tali into two great classes; those who "know" the stu dent uiiud, and those who haven’t got that way yet. Tile former group occa sionally inhabits the classroom. but most times they range abroad, lecturing on aueh vital topics as "The Mental Sub luxation of the College Invertebrate: He lot the Truth About Freshmen." (.tr such a« "Tbe Impingement and Osmosis of Occasional phenomena on the Medulla Oblongata; or How Sometimes an Idea Expressed in Words of Cess than Two Syllables Does Sink Through." This grpup habitually carry about a bored and disgusted air, leading one to believe that tor a nominal sum they would jump iii tlio lake and cud tin1 whole silly at tempt. After listening to one of them •speak on the subject of American educa tion one is firmly convinced that if the ivory crop in Africa should die of drought some season it could be entirely replaced by the Triple Star Choice Bone heads that graduate each year from our higher institutions. Kvideutly they have never heard of a grade above III. At least they never profane their pens by I “writing a higher grade. The second class say nothing and saw wood. They have a childish faith in us for sonic reason or other, and often! pump out surprising amounts of infor l mation from their classes. They seem to live normal, healthy lives, evidently eat ! regularly, and get eight hours of sleep, for they come to class in the mornings in a fairly good temper. They shave, have their hair cut occasionally, and often be lieve in a few things implicitly. One oc casionally sees them perusing magazines of lesser distinction and lighter digestibil ★-;-★ | Announcements *— -———--—-—* Home Economics Club. — An impor tant meeting will be held in Miss Tingle's room in Mary Npiller Wednesday after noon at o o’clock.

And one once told me that he liked hamburger well smothered with onions and plenty of tomato ketchup - “ketchup” Mas the term he used, not “sauce.” Young Democracy rests safe in the hands of n man like that. Some instructors you can tell at a glance, while you would never suspect: others of being remotely connected with the Higher Knowledge unless you had heard them proclaim it. Some are ortho dox. some are not. The other day 1 was passing by the statue of the Pioneer. Suddenly 1 saw him sway slightly on his pedistat. Then a great thunder passed: over my head, followed by a huge gust j of wind. Turning toward a building l! perceived the upper windows of a class-1 room bulging outward, the panes of j which were shattered. After a few mo-1 meats I made out, in the thunder and! wind, a voice . a voice that rose and] fell like a dashing of waves on the rocks! of the sen shore—like the swell and fall of a mammoth organ, 1 stopped a passer by and inquired: What is that, marvelous instrument in yon building which sounds so much like a man’s voice, only magnified a hun dred times V" Me cupped his hand to his car and asked for a repeat. 1 repeated. "Oh." lie said in a sad, sad tone, tis Professor X. It was in his class that 1 lost my hearing; it was the day he was lecturing on conservation of energy, I remember well he had just! repeated the old saying: ’speech is gold-1 en.' then 1 heard a dap of thunder; since j then 1 have been deaf." And the poor creature hobbled off down the road. j Then on another day 1 saw a man »t riding down the campus, dressed in loose, flowing garments, not of the just ly famed form-fitting type. He walked with head bowed, eyes fixed on the ground. It appeared as if lie had lost something and were searching for it. He crossed a street, narrowly escaping from walking into an automobile, so busy was he looking for his lost treasure. My heart contracted with pity and I ran after him. "What have you lost, sir? Pray tell me. and we two will look for it." He gave me a very sharp look. "Lost? Lost t Pish. Tush. I have lost nothing. Absolutely nothing at ail, I repeat. I am professor and I am contemplating the glories of nature about mo.” K. .T.

As yet no tfc'finijtA plans have been do cided upon for the sorely needed en largement of the rending and periodical rooms in the library. It is hoped, how ever, that next year there will be ad ditional reading room space upstairs where perhaps the reserve books or per iodicals will bt kept. No plans for on larging the stacks have Jbeen made to date.
