It is Not Worth the Effort
That the disruption of courses and confusion of credits for two
or three years which will ensue from an adopted semester plan, is
too big a price to pay for its supposed advantages, is the opinion of
the majority of students interviewed by The Emerald. The student
viewpoint is expressed in the opinions which indicate that the semes
ter plan would not be adopted on its merits, to say nothing of the
dread of confusion, if the proposition were put up to the students.
j •ollege generation has passed since the trying change from
semester to term system, and for the first time in four years those
who are in college now are able to reckon their credits without
difficulty. If the system is again changed it will be four more years
before tilings are again straightened out. And is it not unreasonable
to believe that by that time the faculty would be ready to change
back. By that time colleges will, perhaps, be ready for a general
change to the four-term idea. The benefits of going back to the
semester plan are so doubtful and the settlement so likely to be but
temporary that it would seem unwise to throw the whole University
into a turmoil again.
There are, of course arguments on both sides of the question,
and the effect the change would have on athletics is one of the
most important considerations. In this connection, however, one
factor which has not heretofore been taken into account is the
inconvenience to the basketball team of having examinations in the
middle of the season. Many of the basketball men are also football
players and either the schedule would have to be discontinued- for
three weeks prior to the end of the semester, or many of the Uni
versity’s best athletes would have to risk eligibility by participating
in basketball. As it is now, those who have failed to make the grade
know of it before basketball season starts. Under the semester plan
combinations might be broken into by ineligibility. Practically, it
wotdd be impossible to do anything in basketball until February,
except conditioning and practice in goal shooting.
There is no doubt that most students would rather have ex
aminations prior to the Christmas and spring vacations. It has
been suggested that if the semester plan is adopted it will be almost
necessary to eliminate the annual spring vacation. Certainly it
will be necessary if the number of breaks in the work is to be
limited.
From every part of the campus vigorous protests against the
proposed action have come from students vvlio say that they are
working their way through the University. They say that they are
able to attend college two terms, but if the semester plan is adopted
they will have to drop out for an entire half year. In the past three
years there are hundreds of students who have been obliged to miss
one term’s work. If the new system is used they will have to spend
a whole semester making up a few hours’ work.
Some method of starting college earlier in the fall would be
desirable, but it would seem that it could be worked out under the
present system. Certainly it seems unthinkable to go to such in
convenience of a change without more important reasons than seem
apparent to the average student.
The present system is satisfactory, and the thought of the work
involved in tho change is a nightmare. That there are points of
strength to both sides is not to be questioned. But until the Univer
sity is more nearly unanimous as to the advisability of the change
it would seem to be the wise thing to retain the present system.
Don’t Put It Off
Cut of the features of early May is the annual appearance of the
Crtgana—and one of the features of the annual appearance of the
Oregana, is the number of students who say “I wish I could get a
copy—T forgot to subscribe.”
In order to know exactly how many copies of the year book to
print, it is absolutely necessary that the manager know how many
copies he can sell. Since finances of the Oregana are on a verv narrow
margin, he cannot run the risk^of printing more copies than
have been ordered. This is one of the reasons why so many students
are not able to obtain a copy after the book is off the press, and one
of the arguments for making your subscription—now.
Another reason: The expense per copy decreases as the number
ordered increases, and hence a bigger book can be put out Tor the
same subscription price, provided enough subscriptions are taken,
in any publication there are a number of so-called •‘first costs,'-’ in
cluding engraving and photography, which are no more for an edition
of two thousand copies than for one thousand. With a larger list of
subscribers, the editors can spend more money on the features which
will make the book ‘‘better and better.”
Practically every student wants the Oregana. The value of such
a book in the days after college is well known. Its use as a ‘‘who’s
who” of campus people, as a student directory and reference book,
is also appreciated. The fact that the subscription list is not large is
not usually attributable to the fact that students do not want to sub
scribe—but to the fact that they do not come across with their!
money until it is too late.
The Oregana is the students’ enterprise and the students’ respon
sibility. The money invested in a copy brings in real returns to the
subscriber, in addition, is one of the big factors in the success of the
publication. Cut out a fe-w shows—and avoid future disapointment.
Order your Oregana to-day!
Students often complain that they are not consulted when im
portant questions are being settled by the faculty. Today every
student has the opportunity to voice an opinion on the proposed
change to the semester plan. President Campbell thinks that student
opinion will have some effect on the faculty. Tt’s your opportunity.

Several awards were made at a jury
evening for the fine arts division of the
University extension division in Port
land held last Saturday in the class
rooms in the Labbe building at Second
and Washington streets. The judges
were Mrs. Lee Hoffman, president of
the Arts and Crafts society in Port
land, and Mrs. Lucy Ramberg, a Port
land portrait painter. Mrs. H. C. Wort
man, the third judge, was unable to be |
there.
The awards were as follows:

study by Ruth Dower; second mention,
•study of torso by Dr. E. J. Labbe; two
unsigned studies, as yet unidentified,
tied for third mention.

“About ten of the students are con

the work done. The class is, however,
in sore need of proper equipment and

Oranges Are Not Only Better,

Buy your oranges by the dozen, or in ease or half-case
lots. By buying in this way you get the quantity price,
which makes quite a difference in the cost, and, too,
oranges are much sweeter and better—in fact, they are
just right. Include oranges in your order this morning.
