Neilson of Smith College characterized the modern flapper as a “shrewd, keen, hard, worldly little thing whose salvation can be only effected by giving her a reasonable amount of rope to learn the ill effects of her own indiscretions,’’ while he was making an address there. “To try to inflict on her faculty-made discipline, would result in revolution,” he continued. “There are in Smith College to-day 2 000 girls. They are not the sweet unsophisticated little school gills that filled the college a decade ago. In the case of many, their par ents had no control over them at home. They throw the responsibility an us. Wc, in turn, throw the responsibility back on the girls. We let them make their own rules and regulations, and when they trans gress these they are only working against themselves.” What President Neilson says of the college girls at Smith College, which is one of the largest girls’ schools in the country is perhaps explainable on a basis of the attitude taken by some of the instructors in courses dealing with social problems. The average college girl is certainly not the “unsophisticated little school girl” of “a decade ago,” but much of this blame can certainly go to the colleges them selves. Just so long as the universities allow the radical social evol utionist to continue his ravings, expounding his own ideas to his classes in an attempt to tear down every semblance of religion and with little sense of delicacy in discussing life and sex problems, this same condition will exist. But the student who revolts against the methods of handling such classes is usually silenced by being dubbed “mid-Victorian. All college girls surely cannot be classed as flappers, but all too many of them revel in just the characteristics which I ’resident Neilson points out as the qualifications of a flapper. Surely there is such a thing as a sense of the delicate in handling questions of morals and life, yet one would hardly think so who had sat in many of our daily lecture courses. Have we not departed too far from the “mid-Victorian.” The failure of the administration to provide for the payment of laboratory fees at the time of registration will probably mean con siderable confusion and a repitition of the unfortunate proceeding of last term. With the army of office employees in the Ad building it would not appear to be impracticable for one or more of the surplus to issue receipts and collect laboratory fees at the same time of registration. Of course there will be the usual number of warnings in the way of bulletin board notices or notices in The Emerald, but many students are finding themselves confronted with fees in courses which have only made this a practice since the beginning of the present school year. Now that it is too late for the fees to be paid at the time of regis tration, we would suggest that personal notices be sent to the de linquents after a certain date before such drastic steps as those of hist term are taken. BULLETIN BOARD Notices will be printed in this colume for two issues only. Copy must be In tbe office by 4 :S0 o'clock of tbe day on which It is to be published and mast be limited to Z6 words.

Open For inn NOT FOR ABOLISHING To the Editor: A faculty member requests student opinions on the matter of abolishing Junior Week-end, a sub ject which has already been discussed by students to some extent. The writer is opposed to abolishing the custom, at least for the present year. There are as many arguments pro as con, it must be admitted. Of course tradition and sentiment, those much nbused terms, are entirely on the side of those in favor of keeping Junior Week-end. The traditional canoe fete is, of course, expensive, but what event during the entire year arouses such a feeling of loyalty and pride for Oregon in the hearts of students or makes such an impression upon prospective stu dents? One feature which the writer believes must be retained whether the week-end is abolished or not is the Campus day. This is the one day in the year when everyone works for Oregon. The Jun ior From, of course, is the one big dance of the year. It could not be abolished. The big objectionable feature is the expense to houses caused by the enter taining of so many guests. Heretofore most of the guests came from Portland. Tho visitors were invited from even the lower classes of the Portland high schools. If the organizations could agree to invite only high school seniors who intended to enter college, a great deal of waste could be eliminated Plans for Junior Week-end this year had already been laid before the idea of abolishing the week-end was broached. It is the understanding of the writer that these plans could not very well be called off at present. Could wo not reach an agreement among the houses to invite only sen iors in high school and have a some what limited program for the week-end? An A. S. IT. O. MEMBER. GIRLS START BASKETBALL Two Teams Formed in Each Class; Temporary Managers Elected The first practice for tho women’s class basketball teams took place last BOXING MATCHES PLANNED Intramural Fistic and Wrestling Bouts to be Held in February An interfraternity boxing and wrest I ing mateli will bo an event of import aneo some time in February, according to an announcement made yesterday l>\ (tench Humes, of the dcpartiuet of physical education. This will take the form of an elimination contest, and entries are expected from all campus organ i.:i t ions. Practice, in both boxing and wrest! ing. will begin Monday at 4, and all those desiring to enter the meet are urged to report at once- Poach Barnes states that training rules and regular attendance at practice is absolutely necessary for entrance in any event. The preliminary events will take place in the men's gym, and the two best men in all seven weights, both in : boxing and wrestling, will stage the j finals before a large crowd of spec tutors at the Eugene armory. This match is to be held in order to ! stimulate the interest of the students in these sports, and to develop mater ial for the Varsity teams. Are you making a memory book of your days in college?

IN an ordinary furnace materials burn or combine with the oxygen of the air. Melt zinc, cadmium, or lead in an ordinary furnace and a scum of “dross” appears, an impurity formed by the oxygen. You see it in the lead pots that plumbers use. In a vacuum furnace, on the contrary, the air is pumped out so that the heated object cannot combine with oxygen. Therefore in the vacuum furnace impurities are not formed. Clearly, the chemical processes that take place in the two types are different, and the difference is important. Copper, for instance, if impure, loses in electrical conductivity. Vacuum-furnace copper is pure. So the vacuum furnace has opened up a whole new world of chem ical investigation. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have been exploring this new world solely to find out the possibilities under a new series of conditions. Yet there have followed practical results highly important to industry. The absence of oxidation, for instance, has enabled chemists to combine metals to form new alloys heretofore impossible. Indeed, the vacuum furnace has stimulated the study of metallurgical proc esses and has become indispensable to chemists responsible for production of metals in quantities. And tiffs is the result of scientific research. Discover new facts, add to the sum total of human knowledge, and sooner or later, in many unexpected ways practical results will follow.
