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

‘Business Administration’ To
Be New Title; 3 Course
Divisions Made
TWO YEARS GRADUATE
SCHEDULE ARRANGED
Specialization In 7 Branches
Provided, Student To
Choose Field
Tlio name of the School of Commerce
was changed to School of Business Ad
ministration Monday hy the action of the
state board of higher curricula in ap
proving the recommendation of Dean E.
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

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

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.
