LAW EXECUTIVES NEED EDUCATION Enforcement Officers Should Be College Trained, Says Dean Hale Law enforcement officers and execu tives will be men with at least a par tial college training, in the opinion of Dean W. G. Hale of the University of Oregon law school expressed after he had attended meetings of the North west Association of Sheriffs and Police at Portland last week. “The proposal of most interest to me while I was at the meetings,” said Dean Hale, “was the one for establish ing schools where men and officers will be trained. In time, men so trained will become executives and the police man ami police force will increase it’s respectability. When this is done the profession of crime detection will at tract a class of man with a larger sense of responsibility as citizens. They will be men conscious of thieii* position, which will not be that of running down criminals, but of keeping' the peace, and preventing the younger group from getting into criminal ways.” Quoting the speaker, Dean Hale said, “A policeman should be a man the boys run to rather than away from. “Men who will be qualified to hold these positions will need to havd a sub stantial amount of general education,” said Dean Hale. “They will require at least a high school diploma, and must know something of history and sociol ogy. They will have to know more than the regular technical requirements, such as the probity uses of evidence. ° “To illustrate,” said Dean Hale, “how much need there is for greater intelligence among law enforcement of ficers, Mr. May, who was hero during the State District Attorneys’ associa tion convention, told of a ocase where a single match thrown away by the criminal at the scene of the crime had enabled officers to figure out the per petrator’^ trade. An examination of the match showed steel yuttings cling ing to the wood. Of course, the guess was that the man was a machinist, thus narrowing down the number of sus pects. At the Portland meetings of the sheriffs and police, it was said that even the deposits under the finger nails at times when the criminal had been careful in all other respects, had led to evidence resulting in conviction. There is not enough attention given to gath ering and preserving evidence. Officers of the law are not so careful as a rail road company, for instance. The rail road claim agents collect all the evi dence and study it. “It is part of a criminal’s psychol ogy,” said the doan, “that he believes he is going to escape. Capturing a criminal is only a small part of crim inal justice. Capture amounts to noth ing if the best deterront of crime, quick and certain punishment, is frustrated. The fewer men who oscape the law, the loss inclined others will be to yield to theccriminal impulse. “Judges are most outspoken about the inefficiency of law enforcement. When you consider that government it self is maintained through law enforce ment, we must uover overlook the hu man equation in justice. If training law-enforcement officers will do any thing towards dispersing if contempt for .the individual who enforces, it will create a respect for the law itself. Training will help to guarantee the character of the police personnel. “It is true that the policeman of today is likely to present the imputa tions placed on him by ft discussion of What he terms ‘education bunk.’ But the lack of a system which might per fect enforcement machinery, may be evolved by a school. The essence of education is systematization. “The type of school will probably not be a special one, but a school run by policemen themselves. Men trained in special lines, as sociology, criminol ogy, and criminal law, will be called in to instruct. Such subjects as rules of evidence, and the like are exam ples. ” MATINEE DANCE PLANNED Women’s League Will Sponsor Affair to Be Held Washington’s Birthday A Washington’s birthday matinee dance is being planned by Women’s League for Thursday afternoon, Feb ruary tl“. Chloe Thompson is in charge of arrangements, and effort is being made to secure ixeellent music and en tertainment. On Washington's Birthday, it being a holiday, there will be no excuse for anyone who does not have a good time. A few nickels will be the only necessity as dates are not even in order, and everyone will be heading toward the Woman’s building says the committee. The hours will be from three until six. An efficient committee has been ap pointed to see that everyone has a good time. This dance will be something to look forward to, and no one need fear a dull afternoon on Washington's Birthday. SWEETSER WILL LECTURE Community Club Will Hear Talk on “Oregon Trees and Shrubs” An illustrated lecture on “Oregon Trees and Shrubs” will be given Thurs day night by Professor Albert K. Sweet ser, head of the botany department, at the College Crest Community club of ' Eugene. The clubhouse was built about two years ago by the residents of College Crest. G. C. Whitton, who owned In spiration Point, gave the site on it for the clubhouse which was built by the neighborhood, who felt the need of a community club. At present there are 120 members. Meetings are held on the last Thursday of every month, and after a dinner and business meeting, an entertainment of ( some kind is held. The club invites those interested to hear Dr. Sweetser’s lecture Thursday evening, which will take place at 7:30. UNIFORM CREDIT BLANK ADOPTED AT MEETING New Method Simplifies Recording of Entrance Requirements for High School Seniors Carlton E. Spencer, registrar, has re turned from Salem where he made final arrangements with J. A. Churchill, su perintendent of public instruction, for the publishing of new entrance blanks, uniform certificates of preparatory school records, for all Oregon colleges and universities. The plan for the introducing of new entrance blanks was first discussed by the Higher Standards committee of the Higher Education section of the State: Teachers association. It was then tak en up by the Oregon Association of Col legiate Registrars. At a meeting of the State Teachers association in Portland during the0 Christmas holidays, there was a joint meeting of representatives of colleges and high schools. This en trance form was discussed and adopted. A form was designed to be used by everyono concerned—-by college regis trars and high school principals in <cer tdfyirfg students’ocredits for entrance into all Oregon colleges and universi ties. ° This blank form was approved and Mr. Spencer was appointed to make the final arrangements. Heretofore, each state institution has had an individual entrance form. This necessitated a heavy supply for all principals of pre paratory schools. With the new form a sufficient sup ply will be sent to each high school so that the seniors applying for entrance into any Oregon institution can be tak en care of by a much simpler method than formerly.

But ’tis the alluring settings which make for a successful dance and not the least among these is the program itself —and that is where we come in—not in the Springtime stuff—but in the heyday of richer experience where the creation of arts for the ap preciation of others is as much an avocation as it is a vocation.
