SINESS SCHOOL HAS
INCREASED ATTENDANCE
Dean Robbins Makes Annual
Report to President
SMALL TUITION PROPOSED
More Instructors Needed for
Greater Expansion
The annual report of the school of
business administration, which has been
submitted by Dean Bobbins to the
President, shows a decided growth in
all departments during the last year.
The school moved into new quarters
at the beginning of the year and has
shown the results of new equipment and
classrooms by most satisfactory work
last semester.
A larger enrollment than was expect
ed, occured in the school at the early
part of the year. “Despite the fact
that it has been generally known that
we were tightening up in our work con
siderably,” the report reads, “the en
rollment in this school increased to;
425 as compared with 347 the same time
a year ago.” This increase in the en
rollment was seen particularly in the
accounting department. Not only did
those enroll who were required to in- •
elude accounting in their courses, but
there was a general influx of those
who elected it for a course. There are |
at the present time seven large sec-1
tions of beginning accounting. The
estimated outlay in connection with ac
counting has been exceeded and there
is no reason to believe that there will
be any decrease in the amount in the
future. It is asked that relief of some
sort be given to the department whose
instrustors are already overworked
The report proposes that a slight tui
tion be paid by the students at regis
tration to help defray the extra ex
penses of laboratory fees which the
accounting students alone are forced
to pay for mimeograph work. This work
is being done in place or obliging the
students to purchase books.
There is called to attention the need
not only of extra instructional assist
ance but the need of the services of
some highly trained specialists. The
school aspires to expand even more, but
cannot do so without an adequate teach
ing force. There is also need of some
one to undertake organization work in
connection with the various chambers
of commerce of the state.
Great things are reported of the ac
tivities of the campus chamber of com
merce which is made up of live stu
dents of the school of business ad
ministration. Last year it took an im
portant part in the home products ex
hibit held in Eugene and lately it as
sisted materially the Lane County Red
Cross officials to raise their quota in
this vicinity.
During the recent year the school
of business administration has received
various prizes and scholarships. Among
these are the Beta Gamma Sigma
Scholarship Tablet, the Phi Theta Kap
pa Scholarship, the Oregon Life Insur
ance company prize, the Whitfield,
Whitcomb Company Prize, and the Mu
tual Life Insurance Company of New
York Prize.
GIRLS PLAN TRACK MEET
Interclass Event Will be Staged Some
Time in March
An interclass indoor track meet will
be the next event of importance in wo
men’s athletes following the swimming
meet. The meet will be held some time
in March in conjunction with the an
nual gym demonstration, according to
Miss Waterman. The present senior
class won the Hayward cup in the last j
track meet two years ago.
There will be 12 on each team. The !
freshmen and sophomore teams will be !
chosen from the regular gym classes
and the junior and senior teams will
probably be made up largely of majors
in the department but Miss Waterman
urges all juniors and seniors who are
good in apparatus work to turn out.
The events will include rope climbing,
vaulting for form, high and broad
jumps and distance throwing.
GIRLS TOO MUCH TROUBLE
Landladies Complain About Number of
Callers Women Have
With always a little washing, a lit- ;
tie cooking, a little pressing, a little I
sewing to do, with powder strewn from ;
the head to the foot of the stairs, with
the piano in the paror humming at all
times, the telephone ringing day and
night, and with Woman’s League rules
to keep, women are much more trou
ble than men, say Eugene landladies
in unison.
“When I have a girl in my house, '
her friends are in the parlor, in the
halls, on the steps, or hanging on the
front porch,” said one landlady.
“Girls must have company, it
seems.” declared another.
“The dean makes the rules, the land
lady makes the girl keep them, the
girl makes the date, and the date
makes more trouble for us,” the land
ladies declare.

COMMERCE FRATERNITY
CHOOSES FIVE MEMBERS
Alpha Kappa Psi Alumni Chapter
Formed Christmas Vacation
to Help Members
At a meeting held Wednesday
Alpha Kappa Psi, men’s national
professional commerce fraternity, Ruth
erford Brown, Harlan Gram, Floyd
Bowles, Ralph Couch, Frank Carter
and John R. Whitaker, were elected
to membership. Initiation is to take
place next Thursday, when the neo
phytes will stage a demonstration of

necessary.
Alpha Kappa Psi was installed on the
Oregon campus in 1915, and elects to
membership students who show promise
of developing into successful business
men.
An alumni chapter of the fraternity
was organized in Portland during the
Christmas holidays, at a luncheon held
at the Oregon Grill, for the purpose of
uniting members who are graduates of
Oregon and 0. A. C., and to assist mem
bers in a professional way. Officers
elected at the meeting were: E. E.
Horning, O. A. C., president, Paul E
Billeten, O. A. C., vice-president; Sam
uel F. Michel, Oregon, secretary, Harry
L. Jamieson, Oregon, treasurer.
The Alumni chapter is already as
sisting members of the fraternity from
Oregon and O. A- C. in finding posi
tions in and near Portland. Member
ship is open to all alumni members of
Alpha Kappa Psi.
MEL LINDSAY LECTURE
;
Extra Call Made for Works
of Poet Soon to Visit
_
Ticket sale for the lecture to be given
on the evening of Tuesday, February
7, by Yachel Lindsay, eminent poet,
has begun on the campus and thus far
has met with success. Arrangements
are being made to place tickets in all
campus living organizations within the
next several days. The price, 25 cents,
is considered as especially moderate.
Unusual interest in the published
works of the man which are on re
serve on the main reading room desk
of the library has been shown since
the announcement of his coming to
Oregon on his lecture tour of the most
important educational centers of the
west.
Echoes are already being heard from
his tour which follows his much adver
tised playing at vagabondage this sum
mer in the Rocky mountains with Ste
phen Graham, the English writer. At
the Kansas University his lecture made
a distinct impression by virtue of its
very excellence, its novel, and certain
startling statements made by him. Com
menting on the “Rock Chaik,’’ famous
Kansas yell which was given for his
benefit, Lindsay said: “The college
yells of America are the nearest to
American poetry that I ever have
heard, and the Kansas ‘rock chalk’ is
closer still. The hope of American let
ters and poetry is in the yell writer
and the chorus which delivers them.”

EHEGORY-SPENCER TEST
OF GEOGRAPHY ON PRESS
Small Amount of Writing is
Special Feature
The Gregory-Spencer geography test
originated by Prof. C. A. Gregory of
the school of education and Peter L.
Spencer, instructor in the University
high school, is now being printed in its
new and final form. Work has been
carried on in the making of the test
for the last year and a half.
The complete test consists of three
sections, of which this is Section A
Each form includes 111 questions and
is considered the most comprehensive
test now in the field.
In making the test the writers ex
amined various geography text books
to find characteristic phrases used in
describing places and every phrase men
tioned in the test is a characteris
tic one taken from some text.
Final examination questions for eighth
grades given in 23 states for the last j
five years were analyzed to furnish
guidance in selection of material.
The special features of the test in
clude the small amount of writing re
quired from the pupil. He needs to
write but 33 words and 78 crosses and
figures. The student may thus put
his time in thinking of the answer
rather in the writing of the answer.
The instructor by means of a score card |
can correct and record the grade in less
than two minutes.
The eight divisions of the test in
clude questions on trade routes and
products, miscellaneous geography cov
ering causes of tides, day and night,
seasons, winds and social geography, |
causal geography of the United States
and world, descriptive and political
geogrnphy, and locative geography. In
the latter the lists of cities and count
ries are given and these are represented
by numbers on a map of the world.
The pupil is required to locate the cith
er country by number and write the
proper number opposite the name of
the city or country. The tests are made
for the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades
These tests will be put in packages
suitable for mailing and will be avail
able to teachers of the country. Sam
ple copies are to be sent to the various
state superintendents.

which is being staged in conjunction

At the meeting of the club last night
it was decided to issue a challenge to

of Filipino independence, which will
be decided later.
JUNIOR WEEK-END
(Continued from page one)
the various departments be examined,
usual, but that in place of the usual
and the work of each explained to them.
In this way, it was argued, the preppers
would be given some first hand informa
tion in place of the usual hazy ideas
of college life, as given heretofore by
Junior week-end entertaining.
A vote taken just before adjournment
showed that sentiment was in favor of
another meeting of the committee, fol
lowing a discussion of the question by
the various living organizations. The
date of this meeting will bo announced
by Lyle Bartholomew, early next week,
and it is expetced that by that time,
definite plans for the week-end can be
determined. No action will be taken by
the student council until after this
meeting.
