COLLEGE GIBES NEED
TO APPORTION TIME
University Women Addressed
By Miss Edgington.
MANY ENGAGEMENTS HIT
Some Pleasures Held To Be
Gently Vicious.
Time to think, to cultivate friends, to
rea(l books, to spend with your own
soul, to exercise, to sleep, and to enjoy
certain pleasures, these are the things
which should make up the college girls
“impossible” budget of time said Grace
Edginton in a talk at the Y. \V. C. A.
meeting last Thursday.
"The old budget of time, eight house
for work, eight hours for play and
eight hours for sleep is not possible in
this complex life that we lead at tb^
University, but we should include certain
tilings every day. Personally I don’t see
where the eating comes in in this sche
dule but I do know that part of the
sleep comes when attending classes” de
clared Miss Edgington.
Pleasure Is Defined.
Pleasure as defined by Miss Edgington
is something which makes you happy and
does no harm, if it does harm it might
be said to be vicious. Some pleasures
on this campus might be classified as
gently vicious, she said. “Dancing is
too unevenly distributed to be good ex
ercise. The pleasantries exchanged with
your friends while dancing amount to
almost nothing, and I am sure if you
could hear a phonographic record of the
conversation that is carried on at a
dance you would be startled, so after all
the real good derived is the exercise.
Why not get this in the gymnasium in
thi afternoon?” Then Miss Edgington
laughed and said, “But I don’t believe all
of that myself.”
Another pleasure that is overdone on
the campus is being engaged. Miss Edg
ington continued. It is no particular
tribute to a girl to be able to say that
she has been engaged to a number of
men. You know there is a difference
between being ‘engaged’ and ‘engaged to
be married.’ reminded Miss Edgington.
“There is only one way to make your
self think and that is when you have
to,” said the speaker. A good way to
cultivate thinking would be to write a
letter every day to a friend in the form
of a journal. Of course this would have
to be a mutual agreement, explained
Miss Edgington. In this way you would
not write foolish things but it would
really make you think a little.”
Friends Should Be Chosen.
“It is snobbish to lend your sympa
thies only to people who will benefit yon,
but you have a right to cultivate
friends who can aid you and are the sort
.vou want to know” she said.
“It is a good idea to choose the peo
ple you want to know and then start out
awl get acquainted for the more people
you know the more sides of life you will
see.”
College girls neglect books so they
should be in our budget of time, which
after all are one kind of a friend, said
Miss Edgington. Also we must spend
some time with our own soul and try
to help other people. Penance is a good
thing for most people. If one has been
disagreeable to someone else then he
should go out of his way to be nice to
them.
Sleep Held Essential.
Sleep and exercise are two things
that must be included in every girl’s
budget. “Just how they are to come in,
I don’t know,” said Miss Edgington.
Some physical exercise should be taken
t'Tery day but if that is not possible, at
least once a week. We go without sleep
hut we can not remain at our best men
tally and physically, so we must have
the necessary amount.”
I would say that you can’t lay dow'n
a schedule for a budget of time, but
these things should be included,” said
Miss Edgingtgn. “If we continually bor
J’0"’ from our budget we will always be
•’hind so we should attempt to keep up
every day, even though we can have no
Pxact schedule.”

MISSOURI UNIVERSITY
BRINGS UP STANDARD
More Than 500 Students Dropped For
Failure to Make Grades
Last Semester.
The movement to better the standard
of the l Diversity scholarship is not con
fined to Oregon alone. That the laggard
with habitually bad grades will soon not
be tolerated in the institutions of higher
learning, is the indication of a current
piece of news cited by Professor Hurl
K. Douglass, principal of the University
high school, to the effect that 520 stu
dents did not return to the University of
Missouri for the winter term due to un
satisfactory grades made last semester.
Professor Douglass was formerly a
student at Missouri, having studied
journalism there. “Of the 520 men
tioned,” says the article which he quotes
“120 were suspended by the university
authorities for failure to make the re
quired amount of credit. According to
university rules, if a student fails in 40
per cent of the work he is carrying he
is subject to elimination. More than 400
students are not returning to the uni
versity because of discouragement at the
grade they were making.”
Opportunity for Student of
Italian History.
An opportunity for some undergrad
uate deeply versed in Italian history to
enjoy a two-months summer trip to Italy
as the guest of the Italy-American So
ciety, with necessary expenses paid, is
offefred in a communication received at
the president’s office, from the head
quarters of the organization in New
York.
The trip, which is valued at $600, is
offered as a prize for the best article
submitted on the subject “Italy’s Contri
bution to Modern Culture.” The con
test is open to any undergraduate stu
dent of an American college or univer
sity and the winner will form one of a
party now being planned by* the Italy
American Society to visit Italy this year,
the 600th anniversary of the death of
Dante. The party will be composed of
men and women students and faculty
members of American colleges, and an
interesting incident of the trip, accord
ing to the preliminary program, will be
the placing on the tomb of the immortal
poet at Ravenna a bronze memorial
wreath, the gift of American institutions
of higher learning.
The contest closes April 15. and all
manuscripts are to be judged by a com
mittee of eastern educators who will
base their decision on the writer’s mas
tery of the subject, and the arrangement,
readability .and neatness of the work.
Articles should be from 6000 to 10.000
words in length and conform to all es
sential rules of typewritten manuscript.
Those interested may obtain further
information by addressing Mr. Irwin
Smith, manager, Italy-American Society,
26 West 46d street, New York City.
EAST WON’T PLAY CALIFORNIA.
Princeton, Yale and Harvard have all
declined to play California in the east
next October. California wired for a
game with one of the Big Three to be
played back East October 22, but none
of the eastern teams have that date
open.

BATTALIHAISTANDURD
'Pi Phi Girls Make Flag; For
I mal Presentation Soon.
The local R. o. T. (’. Unit lias a new
battalion standard, which was made by
the Pi Rota Phi girls under the super
vision of Mrs. It. Baird, wife of the
commanding officer, who is a member
of that sorority.
The standard is four and one-half
feet wide and five feet long. It is made
of blue silk and border of which is
fringed with silver. In the center of the
flag is the University of Oregon seal
and just above the seal in large letters
is R. O. T. C.
According to Major Baird the whole
tradition of the cadet corps is to be built
around this standard. Silver rings
bearing the names of the honor com
panies. the name of the company com
mander and the date of the appointment
as honor company will be placed around
the flag staff. Rings may also be grant
ed for the highest grade made by any
individual cadet in the battalion during
the year.
* In the near future a formal presenta
tion of the standard will take place ou
the R. O. T. C. parade grounds. It is
the plan of Major Baird to have Presi
dent Campbell and other members of the
faculty, together with the members of
1 k ?i Beta Phi Sorority. “The Pi
Beta Pais have done a distinct service
in the making of this flag,said Major
Baird; “we greatly appreciate what
they have done for the military (lepart- '
ment. We realize that it required a
great amount of time to make the flag
and that in giving this time the girls
sacrificed. many of their pleasures. In
recognition of this service I extend in
the name of the R. O. T. C. Unit of the
University of Oregon, my sincerest
thanks to the Pi Beta Phi girls.”
