VOLUME XXII. NO. 114 IDO SENIORS SHORT REQUIREMENTS; 71 REDDY TO GRIDUATE Most Expected By Registrai To Make Up Deficiencies By End of Term 11 STUDENTS FINISH IN WINTER QUARTER Sixty Others Need Only Hours They Are Now Taking; List Given Out Out of 171 seniors who turned in ap plications for graduation this June, only 71 have fully completed their require ments, according to information given out by the registrar’s office. The de ficiency of the other 100 arises from a variety of causes: Lack of department requirements, non-completion of Univer sity requirements, lack of hours, and hours takeii but not registered in. Most of the deficient students will be able to make up their work before June, and graduate with their class. There are a large number of students who have not completed the prescribed military and gymnasium work. Many up per classmen are taking this work at the present time in order to fulfill their re quirements. In the case of students who have taken subjects in which they were not registered, and need the hours earned in order to graduate, petitions are being received for this credit. A great deal of confusion lias arisen from the fact that many students have taken a small number of hours one term, and neglected to make them up during some succeeding term. The University ■ruling is that 186 hours shall he earned for graduation, and of these Oft hours .shall be made in the freshman and sopho more years, and 00 in the junior and senior years. This means that all under classmen should carry 16 hours, including military and gymnasium work, and if a smaller number is carried, the deficit should be made up As soon as possible. Many students carry as low as 11 hours (luring certain terms. Of the 71 students who have made their requirements for graduation, the following 11 completed the necessary 186 hours at the’close of the winter term: Helen Casey, Robert Earl, Mildred Garland, Wilbur Hulin, Caroline, Mon tague, George Morgan. Homer Morn himveg. Laura Rand, Marie Ridings, Vic tor Sether, Wilbur Carl.

C. Robbins. Because the main object of that branch of the University has come to mean the training of students for busi ness administration, it was deemed advis able to make a change to a more appro priate name. With the announcement of the change in name also comes that of the complete revision in courses of the administra tion school for the coming year. A need has been felt for some time in the com merce school for some definite division of the work so as to meet the needs of the three main classes of students—those who come for a period of two years— those who attend for a period of four years and those who come for two years of graduate work. Under the new revis ion of courses in school of business ad ministration. definite provision is made for the various needs of I hose three classes. Two Year Course Planned. The student who intends to attend the University for a period of two years will get suqh wjork [in the administration school ns will qualify him in a general way for business management. 'Courses formerly open only to advanced students will be made available for first and sec ond year students in such cases as it is deemed advisable for the two year class students to have such work before they leave the University. Courses in money and banking, principles of business, trade routes, business English, princi ples of economics and several such cours es formerly closed to underclassmen will be open to them under the new plan. Another feature of the work for those attending for a two year term will be a five terni accounting course which will fill the needs of the average business man in managing his affairs, although it is not intended to be a course which will fit the student for expert accountancy work. Technical Work Provided. The work outlined for the four year class of students contains in the first two years practically the same work as outlined for the first class. The second two years of work is of a more technical nature and is built upon the foundation laid in the first two years. The work in the two advance years will be divided into four parts—purely technical, ad vanced economics, special courses in law, and the electives allowed the student. One particular feature of these divisions is to he the special work given in law for the administrative majors. Then* will be required fifteen hours of law in cither the junior or senior year. These courses will he especially suited for the needs of the average business man, with the unnecessary legal procedure removed from them. The advanced economics re quirements for the junior and senior year will be fifteen hours. Many Ask Fellowships. Because of the many applications for graduate fellowships received from stu dents attending such institutions as ('lark University, Mass., and Indiana University as well as several others. Dean Bobbins has thought it advisable to establish more definitely the two year graduate course. Many of the eastern students making ap plication for graduate work are men who will later take up business in the west and who see now no. better way to estab lish themselves than to take graduate courses in a western institution. Already some work has been outlined for such courses. A five year accounting course has been definitely arranged and two years of graduate work in each fiebl of business administration has been out lined and work prepared for courses it each branch. Only one undergraduate degree is to bt available under the new plan in the fu ture. that of Bachelor of Business Ad ministration. A master’s degree, which will require two years of graduate work will be issued. In some cases where spe cial work has been done a master’s de gree may be obtained for one year ol (Continued on Page 2) American College Students in Unworldly Atmosphere Belief of Many Professors I (By Madeline Logan an (This is the second article of a series of two prepared by Miss Lo gan and Mr. Lawrence, as a result of a survey made among members of the faculty of tho University.—Ed itor.) Members of the faculty of the Univer sity have very dqpided opinions on the question, “What is wrong with the Amer ican college student of today?” In this i survey, each individual interviewed was asked for his opinion of the college stu dent, whether he was indifferent, vain, egotistical, unreliable, prone to useless argument, a frequent user of useless slang, or a dweller in an unworldly atmo sphere. In most cases the answers defended the college student. Many believed that, the student lives in an unworldly atmo sphere, but denied that it was detrimen tal. Slang, they admit, is prevalent on the college campus, but not. more so than elsewhere. The first article summed up 1 many of these opinions. In that article, J Dean Colin V. Dyment admitted that 1 students do live in an unworldly atmo sphere. Faculty members try to create an interest in the outside world, he said, and cited several of the courses offered by the University of Oregon as examples of what, is being done to bring the stu dent. into closer relation with outside affairs. The result of the unworldly atmo sphere in the colleges is that it teaches (he graduate tio adjust himself to his environment. And furthermore, said d Raymond Lawrence.) Dean Dyment, if the student did live in both atmospheres he would neglect one or the other; but by making good in college, and then generally making a suc cess there, the college man shows his worth. It was pointed out that the Univer sity of Oregon wants to be known by its graduates nnd not by the 700 freshmen this year, for. when the time comes for their graduation, June 15, 1924, only about 125 degrees will be granted to them, predicted Dean Dyinent. Statistics show that from the college go three out of every four who are not graduates, ac cording to Dean Dyinent. “Western universities are compara tively young, and they have no scholastic traditions, no intellectual inheritance,” said Dean Allen. Such organizations as exist at Oregon in the Crossroads, an intellectual discussion group, nnd the architectural club, which co-operates with the architectural profession, are doing much to ameliorate tnese conditions. Dean Pox emphasized the fact that 00 per cent of the students of the Univer sity of Oregon are wholly or partially self-supporting as illustrative of the con tention that college students arc coming in contact, with the business world nnd meeting the real problems of life. The students in many cases are working in down-town offices and meeting exactly the conditions that are bo lie met in the business world. In addition to this they are doing regular college work and tnk (Continued on Page 4.) GIRL BILL PULERS HIT BIRD BL RUNS Doughnut Series Scheduled to Begin Next Week. It may be good for the crops, but the University women are registering dis pleasure at the recent turn of the weath er. Not because it necessitates rubbers | and parasols and keeps the new gingham j dresses and spring hats wasting their | beauty in dark closets. Not because it postpones hikes and makes walkiug dis agreeable—but because it makes them stay inside, when they might be working out for doughnut baseball teams. More than 200 women have been tak ing part in the regular class and practice games during the week, and many more In house practice. Almost every house on the campus has signified its intention of entering a team in the doughnut ser ies, and have had their prospective “Babe” Ruths practicing every available moment, with an end in view of taking the championship cup away from the Kappas. “One ole eat” is played when full teams cannot be mustered, and catch is becoming as popular with the women us with the men as an after dinner sport. When the weather permits, the Thetas take their ball and bats and, with the as sistance of some Fijis, knock home runs north of the I’atterson school. The Alpha Phis practice in their own back yard. Delta Zeta, Chi Omega, the Pi Phis, Tri Delta, Gamma Phis. Zeta Ilhos and Delta Gammas make good use of neighboring vacant lots. The Kappas and Sigma Del ta Phis peaceably mark off their dia monds neftr the,Bible University. The girls of Hendricks and Susan Campbell halls are conveniently near the diamonds used for class practice. The doughnut series will begin next week, however, since the indoor and out door gymnasium afford practice room for the regular and special doughnut classes. Baseball as an indoor sport does not prove as popular as when played in the sunshine and when the home plate and the pitcher's box are worn into Mother Earth by constant usage, and not merely painted on the floor of a gym nasium. 0. A. C. GOLFERS PRACTICE. Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, April 10.—Amateur golf enthusiasts, fra ternity baseball teams and surveying stu dents are making the north half of the lower campus a busy looking place these .days. The golfers do most of their prac ticing during the morning hours, the baseball teams occupying the place in the afternoon. The south half of the cam pus. which was formerly an unsightly lake during the rainy season and which was filled last fall, is being plowed and disced and will be seeded to blue grass in the next two weeks. Freshman Makes New Record In Household Art Work. With twenty minutes to spare and keeping well within the financial limit. Cora ienRyck, a freshman, met the re quirements in the home economics class last week by serving five noon lunches to the satisfaction of her guests, among whom was Miss Lilian Tingle, head of the department of household arts, with a minimum expenditure of time and money, five hours and five dollars. This week, Mildred Calkins is following the same plan, which will also he carried out by the other members of the class, Naomi Wilson, Fern Murphy and Frances Moore. The luuelies served miist have a food value of at least 800 calories, and con tain 10 per cent protein. The following is a typical menu, ns served last week: linked Macaroni and Creese. Lettuce Salad with French Dressing. Bread. Butter. Coffee. In addition to this. Miss TonF.vck made dainty little tarts out of some remaining pie crust and also some conserve from hits of fruit, the juice from some apple peelings, with perhaps the addition of two or three raisins, a prune, or a frag ment of lemon rind. With these she served impromptu tea to Miss Julia Bur gess, Miss Helen Withycombe, and Miss Tingle. Sometimes emergencies must he met in the form of busy husbands or hurried school boys demanding lunch earlier than usual. Miss TenKyek was equal to the occasion when she was called upon to serve one of her guests fifteen minutes earlier than the usual time. Other prob lems in the shape of unexpected guests or the failure of a guest to arrive, may confront the girls, according to Miss Tingle. The general plan of the work is to give actual practice in planning meals ahead, in saving time, energy and money, in ex ercising discretion in the use of left overs, in meeting emergencies, and at the same time serving good meals.

LANDSBURY CHOSEN US REPRESENTATIVE ON BIG COMMITTEE Dean of School of Music Made Member of Important National Body CONSERVATORY BILL REVISION IS SOUGHT Standardizing of Curriculum For Music Schools Discussed Dr. John I;. Landsbury, dean of the j school of music, 1ms been appointed a member of the National. Conservatory committee, as the representative of the universities and colleges of the nation. Dr. Landsbury has just returned from St. Joseph, Missouri, where he attended, from April 4to 8, the music supervisors’ national conference. Dean Landsbury was one of 13 musicians of the country chosen to serve on the Conservatory committee, an organization to which is entrusted the surveillance over all na tional matters pertaining to the welfare of musicians and music schools. The first work to be undertaken by the committee is to secure the revision of the National Conservatory bill, whieh has been presented to congress and at pres ent has passed its second reading. The bill, in its present form, does not make provision for the proper type of musical and liberal arts training. The hill is soon to be presented in committee at Washington, and Dr. Landsbury has been informed that he may be required to go to the capitol in its interest. The plan, as it has been substantially approved by the committee, is for the establishment of a national conservatory of music, with its main school in Wash ington, and branches in the North, South, and on the Pacific const. Dean Landsbury is the only represen tative of a university who is serving upon this committee, which is composed of representatives of all of the national musical organizations of note. He is one of three members appointed whose activ ities are conducted outside of New York City. At the conference in St. Joseph, one of the principal things discussed was the selection and standardization of a curri culum for music schools. Dr. Landsbury wns instrumental in securing the adop tion of a standard four year course, which will include considerable liberal arts training. “The approval of this type of course by the music supervisors marks a distinctly progressive step,” said the dean. “Music courses hitherto have not included enough general training, and it is only lately that the realization of the fact that a musician cannot live in a world by himself has become acute.” The course as adopted by the super visors, contains many of the features in troduced into the school of music here by Dr. Landsbury. Oregon’s school of music, snid Doan Landsbury, is being recognized as one of the ranking institutions. The type of training, as well as its scope and*variety is considered among the best, even when compared with the foremost conservator ies in the east. PACKARD COMMENTS ON MASTADON FOUND Whole Skeletons Rarely Unearthed; Small Relics Common In State. ' “It is not unusual to find relics of either mammoths or mnstadons iu Ore gon,” said Dr. Earl L. Packard, head of the geology department of the University and authority on Oregon paleontology, when asked to comment on the finding of what is said to he the whole skeleton of a mastodon near Arlington, Oregon. “However it is unusual to find a whole skeleton," the geologist continued. The specimens usually found are only small pieces, fragments of teeth or tusks. 'They have been picked up in many parts of the state. One specimen, a tusk, was found near Spencer’s Butte. One can not be sure, Dr. Packard said, that the skeleton is really that of a mastodon because mas tadon and mammoth skeletons are quite often mistaken for each other. The skeleton was discovered in Rutcher Knife canyon, near Arlington, by William Marshall, a sheepherder. Sev eral inches of one of the tusks which was sticking up out of the sandy soil of the sagebrush attracted his attention. A tusk of the prehistoric animal which was dug up and taken to Arlington measured nine feet from base to tip. The base is 12 inches in diameter. The tusk is said to be a perfect specimen.
