Are the Fines Annulled?
With the decision of the student advisory committee to put the
matter of n. s. f. checks in student hands, rather than calling offend
ers before the committee and publishing their names in the Emerald,
it is assumed that fines which were recently inflicted in a few cases
will be annulled. Since the offense is to be approached from another
angle from this time on it is hardly fair to make a few students the
goats. They have already suffered through the publicity, and a
change of 'policy is inconsistent unless their penalties are removed.
The withdrawal of the committee is indeed encouraging. No
penalty in hours will be effective. Rather is the spirit of respect for
business methods, and a spread of the idea of accuracy to be ex
emplified. If the matter can be handled by the students themselves
it is a step toward self-government. There should be no necessity for
further action on the part of the committee.
The discussion has brought about a general realization of the ser
iousness of carelessness in banking methods. The action of various
groups toward providing methods of individual budgeting is com
mendable. But the fines which have been levied on the few indi
viduals should not stand.
Why So Timorous?
i
Comes now the new touchstone by which all programs, policies,
pursuits and pronouncements at the University are to be tested . It
is: “What will the state think?’’
If the fees at the University are abnormally—and some students
think, unjustly—high, the question is not: “Will publicity of the
grievance bring a remedy?” but, “What will the state think?”
If there happens a pet scandal, such as a too exuberant display of
vulgarity at, say, a smoker, the question is not whether publicity for
the scandal may prevent its reoccurrence, but “What will the state
think?”
“ What will the state think?”
What would happen if the University should model its conduct
and utterances on what it believes to be right, and not upon a craven
terror of the state’s opinion?—U. of W. Daily.
PLOT OF BARRIE PLAY
HINGES ON LETTER BOX
Novel Situations Found in Next
Guild Hall Production
A little lost letter box, found in a bay
field after twelve years-—full of grass
and birds’ nests—but with one signifi
cant. thing about it that changed the
whole life of n woman, and through her
changed the whole life of tho professor,
who is after all the real center of the
story, is one of the points of interest out
of the many found in “The Professor’s
Love Story,” by .lames Barrie.
Tho play follows the love stories of
three separate couples throughout the
course of events, the professor and his
sweetheart, the professor's sister, Gladys,
and her story and last but not least the
love story of Kffio, she of the solemn
eyes and Scotch canniness, with her two
eccentric lovers, Pete and Headers.
The professor is a delightfully queer
fellow who, determined to run away from
being in love, takes the object of his
affections with him in the person of his
secretary. Professor Keddie plays the
whimsical part with just the touch Bar
rie would have added. Charlotte Ban
field in the role of Agnes, the sister of
the professor, does the part with force
and understanding. Lucy White, the
secretary, is played by Lorua Ooolidge
with more of the fine finish she put
into her last production, “Come Out of i
the Kitchen.”
Star Norton plays the part of Kffie
with a charm that is Star's own while
the parts of Pete and Benders, lovers of
Effie, played by Claire Keeney and Kd
Keecli, are the greatest comedy element
of the entire play.
\rthnr Johnson and Vern Fudge are
also cast in very good roles which they
are quite capable of handling, both hav
ing had many triumphs in comedy parts.
Mabel Gilham, Patricia Novlan, and
’ I
others complete the cast that is made up
almost entirely of senior members of the
Company,

DANCE PETITIONS DISCUSSED
To The Editor:
May I have the courtesy of your col
umns to call attention to a minor
though possibly important university
regulation.
Dates for dances given by living or
ganizations, by classes, or by other
groups or organizations may be placed
in the social calendar whenever the
group wishes—the earlier the better.
But signed petitions bearing the names
of the head of the group and of patrons
for the affair must be left in the office
of the dean of women at least one week
before the event.
Failure to petition properly should
make the organization liable to the loss
of its dance date, even though it be the
eleventh hour or thereabouts.
The “building .ciomniittp©," which
o kays decorative schemes for dances
held in the Woman’s building, should be
consulted as early as possible for pro
tection against two mischances:-that a
long-planned and well-cherished decor
ative scheme may be refused too late
for happy readjustment; that the or
ganization may be asked to seek a place
elsewhere to hold its dance where argu
ment over decorations will need to vex
no one.
Sincerely yours,
Grace Edgington.

HOME COURSES FAVORED
Correspondence Work Gaining Place
On Educational Program
“Correspondence study as a method
of instruction is rapidly gaining in pro
gressive educational programs. Of the
711 educational institutions in the
United States offering correspondence
courses, 61 are supported by public
funds, and 1- are privately endowed.
These institutions do not include any
of the commercial correspondence
schools, but only regular colleges and
universities. ”
This statement is published in the
March University of Oregon Extension
Monitor in an article on opportunities
for education. In closing, it says that
the belief is being commonly accepted,
especially by state institutions, “that
every one has a right to all the edu
cation lie can obtain and use, and that
upon public-supported' institutions
there is the special responsibility of
placing within the reach of all the op
portunities for education. ”
