The “scandal sheet” told the story of the work accomplished during the fall term or told it as well at least as any humanly devised mech anism could. Grades, any way one looks at them, are a make shift. Under the existing system they are all we have. The amount of red tape the new system of registration is avoiding has permitted students to get right into the swing of things without mucli loss of time. Unless something unforeseen arises the change is all for the best. Students who are in the habit of wasting the first week are putting their shoulder to the task of the new term. Hundreds of freshmen who never went through a Univer sity examination period are beginning to realize the shortcom ings of their high school education. The high school system of excusing high point students from final examinations is a bad one, under our existing University system. Many of those who were excused in high school paid for it in the recent exam ination period. They were so unused to being examined that their results suffered. With the new year and the new term here let us take a flying start. To keep up with each day’s scholastic schedule is the secret of successful scholarship. The students who learn this early in tlicir University career find themselves ahead when the time comes to plan for graduation. Fighting the Flu “Remember, it doesn’t pay to fight the flu. Bed is the place for sick students.’’ This is the salient point in the instructions which are being sent out by campus health officials as a part of a worthy cam paign to prevent the usual epidemic of coughs, colds and sub sequent influenza, which seems to follow a vacation period. Rather crowded living conditions on the campus, the present state of the weather, and the tendency for students to continue their class work no matter how poorly they feel, are reasons why infections, contracted during the recent vacation days and brought back to the campus, are likely to be spread. Specific instructions from the health service, which may well be followed, are : 1. Avoid people who have the “flu”. 2. Avoid people who cough and sneeze. 3. Treat a cold or sore throat in the early stages. 4. If you have flu, give up to it. Remember, it doesn’t pay to fight flu. 5. Isolate yourself to protect others. 6. Dover nose and mouth to prevent exposing others. The faculty can cooperate with the movement to keep influ enza down by being lenient to those who are forced to miss class work on account of illness. It students know that they will be given help and encouragement in making up back work there i will not be the tendency to continue class room activity at a time when they should be in bed. CASES FOR DISCIPLINE BY FACULTY ARE FEW Two Meetings af Student Advisory Committee Concern Unfair Conduct in Quizzes There is one element of the campus life this year which would indicate that the world is not on tirely on the way to ruin. 1‘root of it rests in the fact that an al most uieglignble amount of discipline has been carriod on officially by tin faculty since January 1, 1U23. During the past year there have been only four meetings of the stu dent advisory committee of the faculty. These meetings were called to deal with cases which were not of major importance. Two of them vi ere called in the fall term to in vestigate cases of students who were found guilty of unfair conduct in a quizz, and assessed a certain penalty accordingly. No discipline concerning the N.S.F. check ques tion which caused so much disturb ance on the campus a year ago was found necessary last term. y ' This would seem to give the optimists a Infest >aml discourage the cynic who avows -that the-'col lege year is yet young. It is ; matter of conjecture us to whether these facts have something to onsored by the Oregon Knights. An attractive feature has been promised by the committee.

RIFLE PRACTICE TO BEGIN Competition for Squad Positions Will Start Next Week Preliminary competition for the regular University rifle squads will begin nest week and continue until February 1, when the teams will be picked. This is the statement made yesterday by Captain J. T. Murray, officer in charge of firing at the local R. O. T. G'. All men who took part in the doughnut matches or who have been actively interested in target shoot ing in previous years are urged to get in touch with Captain Murray at the barracks and arrange to try out for the regular squad. Twenty-one dual meets, exclusive of the Hcarst trophy match and the Ninth Corps Area match, are scheduled to tako place during February and March. The first match will bo February 8 and will be followed by the others at the rate of several every' week. Ten matches have been arranged so far for the girls’ team. STAFF MEETING TODAY No Masthead to be Run Until Next Tuesday or Wednesday No masthead of the news staff will be run until next Tueslay or Wednesday, according to a state ment made by the editorial board of the Emerald. At that time a complete reappointment of the staff will be made. A meeting will be held today for members of last term’s staff and any others interested in trying out for positions in editorial hall of the journalism building at 4:45. WRESTLING TEAM GETS LIGHTWEIGHTS Witcomb, Former Varsity Grappler, and Ford, of Frosh Squad, Boost Prospects Wrestling prospects were greatly | increased with the return of Walter j Witcomb, former member of the I varsity team, and William Ford, who held a place on the frosh team last year. The first match of the season will be staged here on February 9, with O. A. C. With tlie return of these two men Coach Widmer has more of a chance to whip out a strong aggregation before the opening of the season. Witcomb formerly wrestled at 128 pounds and it is expected that j he will work down to this mark, although he will go over that mark now. Two years ago Witcomb en i tered the Pacific coast champion ships at Portland and reached the semi-finals before he was pinned to the mat. Coach Widmer will start putting his squad through stiff workouts so that the men will be in condition for the Aggie meet. O. A. C. has only two lettermen back this year, which means that the Corvallis lads are somewhat weakened by the loss of some of their veterans. Although Widmer will not have lettermen to work with, all of the men, with the exception of one will be back from last year’s squad. In the workouts held before the Christmas vacation several strong freshman turned out. It is ex pected with the doughnut basket ball schedule completed, that more grapplers will turn out. A schedule has not been made out for the frosh team. HALE FOR INCREASE IN BAR REQUIREMENTS Resolution of Association Calls for Two Years’ Preparation in Liberal Arts Dean William G.

Before the meeting ad-1 journed, a motion was passed to indorse the action of the state bar: association on the proposed measure. Since Dean Hale actively started to support the movement four years ago, the subject of the increased requirement has been given some at tention, but this year is tne first time the state bar association has authorized an active campaign to put the measure across. The movement is said to be gain ing ground rapidly. Buies for ad mission to the bar are under control of the supreme court. The plan is at present to canvass the state and then put the question before the supreme court in the form of a re quest. Present indications show that the state bar association will probably be able to succeed with the proposal within the next year. In case it does, Oregon will be the third state to increase bar entrance , requirements, Kansas and Illinois [ being the only two at present. The question is being given serious con sideration in Canada. Meetings to further the advance of the movement will be held by the state bar association in Oregon City, Salem and Eugene at some future date. Dean Hale has been asked especially to lecture at these meetings and to aid the association in presenting the matter.
