Phones manor ODD manager yoi j Daily News Editor This Issue Velma Farnham Night Editor This Issue Larry Cook Examinations Feverish “cramming” is actually harmful to the student who wants to make the best possible showing in final examinations, now only a few days away. A certain amount of systematic re-! view has proved highly desirable, however, according to the * testimony of many of Oregon’s most successful scholars. Now is the time to do that reviewing and to catch up the loose ends of unfinished work that must be done before .the term’s work can be called complete. By concentrated effort some students will actually save themselves from scholastic dis aster, this week-end, while others will raise their standings materially. Although this is supposed to be a closed week-end certain social events will be held. If you feel that your work is top notch, then getting away from the grind and enjoying a social evening or two will doubtless put you in a good state of mind for the coming days of examination. If there are still things to be done; if reviewing would be helpful; if work generally needs rounding out, this week-end would be a good time to do; it. In fact it’s your only chance. It’s up to you. The “scandal sheet” will answer any ques tions as to the wisdom of your decision. Thinking Campus? A critic has objected to our editorial on a “thinking cam pus.” He says professors snickered when reading of a supposed increase in mental activity among our students. This critic intimates that to doubt is to think. The skeptic of the student body he would credit with superior cerebral powers. lie cites Englishmen as examples of those who take issue with the propositions presented by the dons. These cousins of ours seem to the critic to be real thinkers. It occurs to us that if students do take enough exception to statements of Oregon’s professors, it is not so much the fault of the students as it is the fault of the professor, or perhaps of the the educational system. Some professors impart their informa tion with immutable certitude. To dispute their statements is to insult and provoke them. On the other hand, we are here to learn, to receive the bene fits of scholastic minds overflowing with knowledge for us. These men or women are highly trained in their lines. Students have a place to maintain. Should they not look up to those superior intellects, be eager to take what they have to give without “biting the hand that feeds them ? This seems to be the American attitude. What a professor says goes. Far be it from us to take exception. The critic goes on to say that what leads ns to believe we have a “thinking campus” is the fact that we must work harder and study more to keep pace with the increased scholastic, standards. But increased study, we believe, means added thought application. The more a person studies, the greater are the chances lie will apply himself from the very foundation of his growing mind. So Mr. Critic, if you scoff at our contention, you yourself do not stop to think. Perhaps some of the rest of us have not your capacity for cogitation, but by going to school and study ing hard we are learning how to think more efficiently. . _____<$» j At the Theatres Constance Talniadge proves that slio is an expert horsewoman, a skilled fencer with the rapier and makes a charming figure in a boy's costume in “The Dangerous Maid,” her latest First National photoplay, which will be shown at the Rex starting today. The story of “TR'e Dangerous Maid" is laid in the turbulent times ' when the Duke of Monmouth re belled against King James II of Kngland. t'onstauee Talmadge has the vole of a madcap little rebel who Jons a cavalier's sword and eostume and engages in a thrilling series of adventures with the offi eers of the king. The story gives Constance oppor. tunitv to play a dramatic role, and the picture, although it contains many humorous situations, is re plete with romance and love in terest. <2>. . ^ | Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

If it is desbed, the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It muBt be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. -———-O To the Editor— I writo this to tell you how much I was gratified by the editorial in the Emerald in regard to Hunting ton. Parts of it were reprinted in the San Francisco Journal. I know nothing with regard to Huntington’s record, but I do know that the tone of the editorial was just and honor able. The question is—Do university sports, exist for the benefit of the students or for the satisfaction of the rah, rah sporty element of the alumni? Are university activities to bo arranged for tho recreation and pleasuro of the student body or organized on A\ sJcmi-profe:|siDttal, commercial basis? It would seem that the faculty and students of an institution are competent to know what they want and what they should get, ,but at present, for the most part, the gen eral tendency is for the alumni to tell both parties where they aro to get off. FRANK ANGELL IL’OO Bryant St., Pal Alto, Cal. FACULTY WOMEN ARE VOLLEY ENTHUSIASTS Barbara Page is Directing Class Each Monday; May Meet O. A. C. Players Much enthusiasm is being shown bv the faculty women over volley ball. An average of ten women play every Monday night at 7:d0 in the Woman's building under the in structions of Miss Barbara Page, of the physical education depart ment. Never before have so many women shown an interest in a sport as they have shown this year. Though 10 play each night, about IS have turned out altogether. The rules are taught and have to be obeved. "We play right, you see,” said Miss Edgington, one of the "enthusiasts.” She also said that the game was wholly new to about three fourths of the players. There is some talk of proposing a game with the O. A. t\ faculty women. Those who have turned out for practice tire: Miss Margaret Mac gregor, of the health service; Miss Florence Magowan, the V. W. A. secretary; Florence lute, Lois Gray, llenriette Gouy, all of the romance language department!; Florence Alden, Emma Waterman, Lillian Stupp, Barbara Page. Gert rude Manchester, all of the P. E. department; Mildred Hawes. Eng lish department; Madeline McManus, business administration; Florence Riddle, psychology; Mary Davis, household arts and Grace Edgington, alumni secretary. ' QUESTIONS TO COME BEFORE LEAGUE TODAY Women to Discuss Plans for Sending Delegate to Convention at Indianapolis The regular business meeting of^ the Women’s league will be held this afternoon at 5 o’clock, in Pro fessor Howe’s room, Yillard. Sev eral matters in which the women of the University are concerned are to be discussed at this time. The league is planning to unite with the Y. W. C. A. and the faculty women in sending a delegate to the student volunteer convention, to be held in Indianapolis, December 28 to January 3. Mary Bartholomew will attend as a representative of the University women. The part to be taken by the Women’s league will be definitely decided this after, noon. , Arrangements are also to be made for entertaining the representatives from high school girls’ leagues, who are to be included in the confer ence "of high school representatives on the campus, January 11 and 12. Schools which do not have girls’ leagues will be asked to send a representative and they will be given suggestions and assistance to ward forming organizations. These are to be included instead of the secretaries of student bodies as in the past. A large attendance at this meet ing is urged. WINTER TERM CLASSES TO BEGIN JANUARY 2 Shorter Christmas Vacation Makes Spring Term End This Year on June 13 Classes will begin winter term on Wednesday morning, January 2, ac cording to information given out by the president’s office. This makes it necessary for many students to return to the campus on New Year’s day. Although this seems hard on stu dents who wish to spend New Year’s at home, students will bene fit by it at the end of the school year. Karl Ontliank pointed out that by doing away with registra tion at the beginning of winter and spring terms and having recitations on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day at the beginning of winter term the University will be enabled to close one week earlier than it ever has before. Last year the school year ended June 25 and this year it will close practically two weeks earlier. Exams will be ended on .June 13 and commencement will end Juno 16. Early closing will also be a bene fit in arranging the summer session. The way the schedule is arranged now, there is a week’s recess be tween the close of spring term and the opening of summer school. This is a benefit to instructors and.does away with much confusion.

TJ. O. Benefiel, together with Vir- j gil Earl, athletic director, and Pro-1 fessor H. C. Howe, were Oregon’s delegates to the conference which was held last week end, “Contrary to the opinion of many people the Pacific coast conference is becoming a stronger organization all the time’’ says Benefiel. “This year the University of Washington and the Naval Academy have suc ceeded in getting complete control of the Tournament of Boses at Pasa dena. Heretofore as when Oregon played Harvard for instance, the thing has been entirely commercial ized and the visiting teams have made no more than expenses. This time it will be entirely under the charge of the two student bodies. The Tour nament of Boses will merely get the field in order and receive the rental price for the field.’’ The conference took a decided stand against hiring and proselyting athletes. They made ineligible for participation in athletic events any man pledged by a fraternity before entering college. |Any athletes trans fering and having difficulty in es tablishing their position and eligi bility were ruled ineligible. “Oregon had no particular battle on h8r hands this time,” says Bene fiel. “She had no personal cause to uphold nor was she in any way at tacked. ’ ’ The admittance of the University of Montana at the last conference meeting raises the number of confer ence members to nine. They include Unifersity of California, Univer sity of Southern California, Stanford, University of Oregon, Oregon Agri cultural college, University of Wash ington, Washington State college, University of Idaho and University of Montana.
