Editor 666 fHONES Business Manager 961 Daily News Editor This Issue Margaret A. Scott Nittht Editor This Issue Fred Miehelion A Sense of Fairness The various fraternities and living organizations on the campus are not receiving the proper cooperation of faculty members and instructors in class work in their effort to induce better grades among their members. This point was clearly demonstrated at the end of the fall term of work when it was brought out that many students who had apparently been doing good work 4n their classes received failures in their final markings. Such a practice should be investigated at once and where in structors are not using the discretion expected of them in ,giving grades out to students at the end of each month, some steps should he taken to bring about the enforcement of measures which would remedy such a condition. The members of the living organizations and the fraternities have made an honest effort to cooperate with the University officials in their attempt to bring about higher stan dards at Oregon. They thoroughly believe in the principle and they have concentrated in the effort by arranging a system of carefully checking up on the members at the end of each month of work. In an organization of some thirty members, an average size, the j system of monthly grade cards is the only check which can be made, on the work of the various members by the heads of the organiza tions. The accomplishment of higher standards cannot be complete without a sense of responsibility being instilled in the students in dividually, and this sense of responsibility is in the majority of cases a direct outgrowth of the discipline which they meet in their various organizations. Too much emphasis, then, cannot be placed upon the care and seriousness with which instructors consider the matter of signing the monthly grade cards brought to them by the students. The privilege of taking these grade cards to their instructors has been granted to these students by the administration, with a realization of the benefits which can be derived from such a plan. And wher ever the cooperation of the individual instructor is requested it should be given. The individual students must have some method of protection. They can only know by ascertaining their grade from the instructor at intervals just where their shortcomings are and what steps should be taken to remedy them at once, and the necessity of protection is sometimes obvious. In all fairness a student should not receive an average marking upon his monthly grade card and then receive a flunk as the final grade in a course. If anything will encourage a spirit of "getting : by” it is a spirit of carelessness on the part of the instructor who does not regard the monthly grade cards sent out by an organization of sufficient importance to warrant serious consideration. Swiftly and Silently The day for the “male of the species” to stroll on the eampus , without a single rod rent in his trousers poeket has long since dis appeared. With the “broke-’ organizations continually appealing for financial aid. no self-respecting student can afford to refuse to . buy their offerings of pastries and confections, which violate all the training rules laid down by trainers and coaches. Now. if these organizations are to continue to exist, and that is a debatable question if they must continue to prey upon the pocket book. why in the name of Diogenes can they not confine all their “bargain" days to one great day of carnival attraction? All can then get a hand in the pot, the day can be satisfactorily arranged with the office which issues the State aid checks, and concessions can be granted along “the great white way" or “the sawdust trail or some such suitable arrangement, and this same relieving process will accomplish its purpose, swiftly and silently. A healthy desire on the part of organizations to eliminate added expense of excessive competition has been evinced lately and is a step in the right direction. The number of entries in the canoe fete is to be limited and the number of organizations allowed to compete in the April Frolic has been cut down. Economy appears to be the keynote of this sort of action and wherever it is possible to do so, that policy should prevail.

Furniture Appropriate and Unique in Design An addition to campus traditions is the establishing of the Lemon Punch room in the Anchorage, where the head quarters of Hammer and Coffin, humor ous publishing society, will be main tained. The room, on the second floor of the Anchorage, was recently opened and promises to be one of the interesting spots of the University and will increase in interest as it assumes its place among campus traditions along with the his torical room maintained by the historical committee of the university where tro phies and campus data are preserved. Illustrations to be Kept Here In the Lemon Punch room will be kept the files and illustrations of the maga zine, a panel of members of Hammer and Coffin, material and data relating to the society. The furnishings are appropriate for the headquarters of the organization, and are unique in design. In the center of the room is a large black oblong table, curiously resembling the large black box conspicuous at funerals. In the center of the table will be placed a seal about 15 inches by 10 inches, on which will be designed a gold hammer. This piece of decoration is being completed by Ray Bothers of the Art staff of the Punch. Another article which will be conspicu ous will be the large black cabinet with i silver hammer for ornamentation. On the walls of the room will be riumnted j the originals of the drawings of the I Punch and the panel of Hammer and! Coffin members. Room Will be Open to Public The room will be used as the head piarters and meeting place of the soci- j ?tv but will also be open to the public ,vhen not in use.
