MjlMTIC PH TO BE TAUGHT GIRLS Every Inducement Offered to Learn Swimming BEGINNERS GET CHANCE One of Finest Pools in Land Ready for Practice Spring is coming—that, is, if the groundhog does not see his shadow to day—and spring brings canoeing into its own. Already couples, with their pillows and paddles, have been seen crossing the campus, unmistakably mak ing for the mill race. A great deal de pend^ upon the individual, hut at best a canoe possesses but little equilibrium and occasionally one has been known to tip over. It is on these occasions—and they do happen—that the girl who can swim is in the height of her glory. She can not only rescue herself—but may succeed in rescuing her partner also, and maga zines are full of “they lived happily ever afters” as a result of sonic one playing the heroine. The physical education department wants to co-operate with the University women and is offering ever y in ducement—from the brand new pool to the hair-driers that really work—for women to learn to swim. They are firm believers in preparedness and in the fact that opportunity knocks just once in awhile. All Women to Swim. Every Monday, Wednesday and Fri day afternoons, any University woman, whether she can swim like a fish or like a bar of iron, is invited to spend a lit tle time in the white-and-blue tile pool between 3:00 i*nd 5:30. For those who can swim, the invitation is all that should be necessary. For others. Miss Lucille McCorkle, a member of the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps is at the pool on those afternoons to in struct you in the ways of the swimmer and to pull you out whenever necessary. The requirements for swimming are very simple. First, Doctor Bertha Stu art, in the physical education building, must make a brief examination of hearts and lungs. Then, the lab. fee, of $1.25 must be paid to cover the cost of suit and towel laundry. Those who have al ready paid their fee for other gym nasium work need not pay it again. A clean suit is provided for every girl. Woolen suits are not allowed in the pool fieeauso wool clogs the filter. Each girl must bring her own rubber cap. Pool One of Best. Doily tests of the water in the pool are made by Madeline Slotboom. Visit ors may watch the swimmers at any time by entering the balcony through door 23 in the lower hall. Street shoes are not to he worn on the tile floor. The pool id" one of the finest, in the country and swimming is the best all around exercise, so the physical educa tion department feel justified in urging that nil women take advantage of the opportunity offered them on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. PERSONAL TOUCH DONE AWAY WITH BY BUREAU (Continued from Paso 1.) name. Newspapermen are not built that way. It is inevitable that snob a vocational bureau will be established here as the University grows, but I am not decided whether a centralized sys tem would be better than assistants for the deans. The* only argument for such n bureau is the ever-accumulating work of {be departments which would be re lieved to some extent by a unified place ment office.” Dean Allen believes that the placing of graduates should be done through the beads of the departments rather than by a vocational secretary not personally acquainted with the qual ifications of the graduates. Would Not Affect Law. The school of law would not be effect ed to any marked extent by the adoption of a graduate placement service at Ore gon. Upon being graduated, law stu dents usually hang up their own shingles or go in to partnership with some known law house. The opinion of Dean Itobbins of the school of commerce was not obtained as lie is absent from the campus. A placement service bureau central ized in a vocational secretary has been in operation at the University of Wash ington for over a year, and during that time, according to communications and data received from that university, has proved u great success. The secretary endeavors to ascertain the individual qualifications of applicants by a ques tionnaire which requests the applueant to conscientiously grade himself on mor al. physical and " professional qualifica tions.

W ALUMNI ARE OPPOSED TO GRADUATE COACH Three Prominent Graduates In Favor of New System for Athletics at Oregon. Three of Oregon’s prominent alumni have officially stated they do not believe the present system of coaching at the University is a success and favor obtain ing a new coach. Homer D. Angell, president of the alumni association, said “I think the final decision should rest with the athletic council and their deci sion hacked to the limit. I am opposed to the graduate coaching system for young western universities.” Angell is opposed to hiring high priced coaches. Coaching salaries should be in keeping with professors salaries, up to $6000, he thinks. If another man can be secured at approximately 1 ho some salary, he should be obtained, stated Angell. .Jack Latourette. one of the greatest, quarterbacks Oregon has produced, says he is.-opposed to the graduate system. “Never in the history of Oregon, in the two trials of the graduate system made, has it. been a success. There is not enough available material from which to select a graduate coach, and the men do not learn enough about football while playing to be able to teach and coach in later years.” If the time should come when Oregon had a large number of first class football players from which to select coaches. Latourette said he would favor the graduate system. “I do not think Huntington is a first class coach, and he is not the proper man for the position.” Latourette did not favor Hobie, but believes Price is an excellent man for head coach. Oliver Houston, ’10. graduate of Yale, and at present well known lawyer in Portland, said that although Huntington deserved much credit, he is opposed to the graduate system. The athletic coun cil should do its best to unify Oregon, and if necessary the salary of the new conch should go as high as $7500, said Houston. “Ff a good man can he ob tained at approximately the same price there is no gain in retaining Huntington” said Houston.
