A presentation of the number of hours made in high school, assurance tlia't all required subjects had been taken, and a little correspondence with the registrar were all that was necessary to admit. Now that the University is carrying on a “tightening up” policy, some students are feeling that the process is too string ent; that somehow or other the students were not prepared for the move. Is this because the University has “gone over their heads?” At the present time, providing a high school student pre sents the required Carnegie units lie is admitted, even though he may have barely passed in all his high school subjects. lie may have taken six years to get through a four-year course. The University lias no specifications except that only a limited number of electives are permitted. Would it not" raise the standards of the high schools of the state as well as those of the University if it were to he specified that the grade in the Car negie units presented for admission he of an. average which would correspond to the University grade of ITT? The University ol California has not suffered any great loss bf students by the use ol this method. The recommendation of the principal of the high school must he presented by every applicant, and the recommendation cannot be made unless the grade is of an average specified by the California officials. If this recommendation is not presented, the student is permitted to take an entrance examination. If he fails, he may take shch subjects as he needs under the instruction of the Cali fornia faculty. # Why would not such a system work*at Oregon if it works at California? It, might mean the elimination of many stu dents who now are forced to leave school, and who spread their discontent before they leave. It might mean a raising of edu cational standards over the state. It might mean a Creator Oregon. wv ■•■wwtngff *--—---* I The Campus Cynic | *-_L_---—----* Th® Swan Song of a Lone Hair. To the Editor: Professor Zyniophil, of our college, author of “A New Method of Soup Inhalation, Especially Relating to Puree of Split Pea," a most popular handbook for all fraternities, lias one hair on his head. It beacons forth against the glistening surrounding ex panse of white, a milestone, a pillar, a landmark of disappearing youth—au old guard, so to speak, standing defiantly erect in the center of a new order (more appropriately, a revealed order) of things. Beneath the soil in which it flourishes, the gray hordes of knowledge steal stealthily about, encircling it. stif fing it pitilessly. But still it stands proudly in the same spot it and its an cestors have stood there 45 years or more. It is a dean hair and a much exercised hair, Tor it receives daily its hath of Herpieide. Kau do Cologne, lilac Water, Upoeinl Hairgrowing Preparation, et al. Daily it is wrapped tenderly in a four foot Turkish towel and massaged dili gently. Daily it is brushed by a hand engraved, silver-embossed set of extra large military brushes. In faet this hair receives all the loving cnre and meticul ous attention that the several thousand dear departed hairs would have received had they retained their pristine vigor and enthusiasm for this life. Professor Zym cnbil’s love for hair being checkmated, he lavishes his vast fund of affection on • his solitary reminder of the day when thatched coverings were nil the rage. Tot a careful observer may see that under its responsibility it droops slightly, its chest is becoming more and more sunken, its whole frame more skinny. It is visibly graying, and it totters in the breeze in a manner it would have never fone in the days of its virile manhood. The enemies that. creep stealthily around and beneath il, art1 growing more insolent rod the poor old hair is getting very tired <f doing the (Ulster’s Last Stand per f°''nance, lie wants surcease from the toil and trial and sorrow of this strife filled life. Some day a cohort of knowledge will rush up and deliver one foul fell blow beneath the belt and the hair will turn white, gasp n hit. curl tip quietly and fall, stone dead, upon the sloping field it lias flourished in these many years, slide gently forward down the frontal declivity, skate over the bridge of the nose, and shoot off into the abyss— into nothingness. And that will be the last of the Mohicans. Whereupon the professor will lay aside his brushes, throw away all the hair re storer that can’t be converted into a beverage, and will lavish the fondness and affection lie once poured out on this hair oil the students in his class—but I am getting too blamed sentimental. There is a limit to the probability of all things. E. .T, II. FROSH BASEBALL TEAM DEFEATS EUGENE HIGH Score of Saturday Afternoon Game Is 7 to 4: Preppers Elated Over Showing.

Communications | *-i* SEATTLE, Wn., April 14.—(To the Editor).—I cannot refrain from com menting on your editorial, “Graduate Manager,” which appeared in your edition of April 12. ' While I have expected the news that Mr. McClain would not be a candidate for re-election, it is with a deep feeling of regret that 1 have received the official announcement. The University of Oregon has been well represented by Mr. McClain at all tin' Pacific Coast Conference meetings. All the members of the conference, of course, do not always agree, but in their dealings with Mr. McClain the other members have found him to be fair and open minded. I have enjoyed working with him per sonally and I wish to take this opportu nity to assure the Associated Students of the University of Oregon that the As sociated Students of Washington desire a continuance of the friendly and co operative spirit, whomever the agents of either institution may be.—DARWIN MEISNEST, Graduate Manager, Univer sity of Washington.

Svarverud nicked a three bnse bingle, and sneaked home on a wild throw by Robbins. Knudsou drove in two runs with a two-bagger, and scored himself when a Bearcat muffed Collins’ easy grounder. Collins scored himself on Zimmerman’s sacrifice. In the fifth, another three-base bingle by Khudson scored Reinhart after the latter had scored Svarverud, who got to third by being hit by a pitched ball and stealing two bugs, with a single, Knud son romped home on another infield bob ble.
