It will come within a few years. The United States will be involved.” The shock is almost as great as it was in J uly, 1914. Many had thought “the world safe for democracy.” Many had believed that the Great War was the end of all wars. Those who had forgotten the lessons of 1917 are beginning to arouse themselves. The message of Charles Upson Clark recalls martial scenes. It looks as though the world had not learned the lessons of peace, just as it failed to learn lessons from the war. Perhaps the average citizen has settled back to the same old apathy concerning world affairs. If he has, he can blame no one but himself for the failure of nations to come to some agreement whereby war will be made impossible. Dr. Clark knows conditions in Europe. His predictions are based on knowledge of fact. If there should be a war, the University of Oregon would be called upon to take her place just as in 1917. Then what would culture and higher standards avail? If Dr. Clark’s predictions are sound, four years of peace have been a failure. And if it has been a failure it has been largely because the people, including college students, settled back into the old pre war apathy toward world affairs. It Was Settled Last Year A great deal of comment lias been excited by the announcement that Junior Week-end this year would be more elaborate than it was last year. Formerly festivities started Thursday and continued until Sunday, but it was decided last spring, after a long argument, to cut the holidays to two days. The experiment was very success ful and it was the consensus of opinion that it should be continued under that plan. The plan of the canoe fete Thursday night should be discouraged. The Senior Play can be given some other time of year. It is unfor tunate that it should be necessary to have the same arguments year after year. The simplified Junior Week-end met with the approval of the students and should be continued. The Margin Is Too Narrow From the result of the assistant professors’ vote on the semester plan it seems evident that the opinion of the students has not been taken into consideration to any great extent. The six to one pref erence for the present system was absolutely sincere and based upon important-considerations, notwithstanding the contention of several faculty members to the contrary. The faculty was almost divided on the subject. The assistant professors are practically even. The faculty of the medical school are unalterably opposed to any change, and say that even if the semester plan is adopted here, they will continue to operate under the three-term idea. And in spite of all this, there are those who would adopt the proposition by a majority of two or three. Without letting anyone know about it. President Campbell has given more than $26,000 to the University since he has been here The true friends of education are those who do not ask for personal credit. Now that it has been made possible for the women to attend the game and the Frosh Glee Friday night it is up to them to go both places. TIME TO PAY FEES IS PAST Registrar’s Office Spends Busy Day In Caring for Final Rush The business office could give little information yesterday afternoon at closing time concerning the number of students who failed to get their labora torv fees in on time. The staff worked hard all day taking care of the “elev-l entli hour rush,” and had little time to cheek up. Just before the oftiee closed the crowd that hung about the windows was composed mostly of men. However, Mr. E. P. Lyon said, “They’re just about evenly divided. Sex doesn't seem to make any difference. There is just about as many culprits of one as the other.” Bead the Classified Ad column.

MEDICAL SCHOOL VOTE FAVORS SEMESTER PLAN Ballots Show That Issue Is Evenly Divided in Faculty Partly because of the closeness of the first vote taken and the evenness of division among the faculty, and part ly because of the unfavorable opinion of the student body as shown by a straw vote taken a short time ago by the Emerald, a new vote was taken yesterday by the faculty members on the semester vs. term question. The results of this balloting which was taken by mail, will be known today. Tuesday the assistant professors and instructors took an advisory vote with the following result: Total number of ballots cast.57 Number voting for semester plan.30 Number voting for term plan.26 Number not voting on this question....!. Number voting for 1924...28 Number voting for 1923.24 Number not voting on this question....5 The Portland branch of the Univer sity of Oregon medical school has ex pressed its preference for the term plan in the following communication signed by C. N. Reynolds, secretary, to Carl ton E. Spencer, secretary to the fac ulty: “The medical school faculty by in formal vote has expressed a preference for continuation of the term division of the academic year as now in use. The reasons for this preference may be stated as follows: “The several departments, after con siderable difficulty, have adapted their courses to the term basis. They are unwilling to again modify them with out further trial of existing arrange ments. “Furthermore, the curriculum and schedule committees have eaten many lunches and smoked numerous cigars over the schedule and curriculum now adapted to the term of three months. There is an unwillingness to change again at the present time. “It should be stated that a number of men are in favor of the semester plan so far as their own courses are concerned but are disinclined to disrupt the established schedule, particularly of the complicated clinical years for the advantage they would receive in dividually. I “The consensus of opinion is that ir | respective of the action of the Eugene | faculty, the medical school should con tinue for the present on the term basis and, furthermore, it is felt that our preference should not necessarily af fect the choice of the faculty at Eu gene. Were the semester plan now in force, it is doubtful if the medical school faculty would at present change to the term basis.” NEOPHYTES TO FRY CAKES Miners Will Feed Hungry Students This Morning at Eleven Initiation of two G. and M. nephytes will take place this morning at 11 o’clock under the Nicotine Tree, when Karl Yon der Ahe and Guy Armantraut, disguised as rough and ready artists in culinary achievements, will serve sizzling flap jacks to all campus frequentors who are hungry. The initiates will pitch their tents “on location” early in the day, and then be fore eleven o’clock, the camp fire will be started. Since both the candidates are old enough to carry matches, they i will be permitted to start the fire them selves with the phosphorous tipped chips, i Grave penalties are to be inflicted, says Glenn Walkley, chairman of the initia tion committee, upon the candidates if they “muff” the cake while turning it in the air, serve any broken cakes, or upon any complaint of the bystanders that their palates have not been completely satisfied.
