Editor Phones 655 | Manager 95: Daily News Editor This issue Jeanne Gay Night Editor This Issue Walter Coover The “Preppers” Are Coming er-1.. - , _ j Opportunity for student cooperation arid support wiJl la afforded with the conference of high school editors, managers presidents, and secretaries to be held next week. The annual meetings of the High School Press association and the Associa tion of High School Student IJody Officers bring a desirable class of high school students to the campus, it is the task oi those handling the conference to make attractive for the visi tors not only the official sessions in which they are partici pants but also the impression given by the student body at large. Presumably these young people are the intelligenzia of the state preparatory schools. Upon entering institutions of higher learning they should be equipped to carry on the work which is now in progress. These students should be material for execu tive and managing offices which our political body requires. Regarding them in this light, they are to be given the most meticulous attention, and their visit to our campus and their association with Oregon students should be as pleasant as we are capable of making them. The delegates from the high schools will number about 200. They will be in conference all day Friday, January 11, and most of the day on Saturday. Ample time will be given them to meet and associate with college students. It is not necessary that the University assume a festive aspect for their benefit, but it is necessary that the seriousness of their purpose be rec ognized and a genuine interest in them be taken while they 9 here. are Though the conferences are designed especially for high school students, University men and women are not precluded from sitting in on the meetings. Consideration of the outstand ing student problems in the high schools will take place at the convention. There should be those among us who have not lost all trace of our high school friends and interests, and who want to know how high school problems today compare with those which worried us wlicit we were “preppers.” A committee has been working since early in the fall term to perfect the arrangements for the entertainment and accom modation of the delegates. When the student body is called upon to unselfishly endorse and make for the success of their two-day visit, the call should meet with a zealous response. Sweaters for the football men who earned them have ar rived. They are to be presented to the lettermen at “College Nignt, next Friday. 'I his is to be a ceremony in connection with the entertainment oi the high school guests who will be here then. The student body should be interested in witnessing the award of the colors to those who battled tor Oregon in the past season. Some of the men will receive their last stripes from their Alma Mater. A good cheering crowd on hand to let those men know that their services are appreciated will send them away with the feeling that their efforts have not been in vain, and that “somebody cares.” There is no better tie than the personal touch. A private letter from you, addressed to some high school student whom you know will be on hand during the conference next week, will serve to stimulate in him an added interest in coming.

ART STUDENTS UTILIZE i NEW POWER BUILDING Home Found for Drafting Eooms and Library; Designing Classes Change Quarters The space provided by the struc ture which has been built over the power plant is being used by the school of architecture for an art library and drafting rooms. Since this structure has been completed and the power plant moved to its new home across University street, the allied art court is nearly finish ed. The libtary not only contains ! books, but is used as a reading j room as well.

A part of the old drafting room has been partitioned off to make room for the library and an office for Prof. W. R. S. Wilcox, that which remains is used by the fresh man class in design.

Dancing 8:30 to 12 Admission 85c Obak’s Koiiege Krier OBAK Wallace, Publisher L.L.J. Office boy and editor Volume 3 SATURDAY, A. M. Number S I ATTRACT! COURSES RAISE SRADES HERE The grades at the kollege this term were far higher than had been an ticipated by the faculty; many of the students managed to drag down reasonably good grades by doing some hist minute make-up work, and several succeeded in saving themselves disgrace by staying over during the Christmas vacation and making up their cuts in pool and billiard labor atory work. The dean yesterday expressed him self as being very well pleased with the way the boys had responded to the raised standards of this last term. “I am surprised and delighted with the manner in which our stu .dents have come through in their work during the last three months. This result verifies my opinion that college should be made attractive and 'not repulsive to students. In fact it is -that opinion that has led me to install all of the modern con j vpniences in my college equipment. Music and meals are a great attrac ■ tion to thought, and I have both of these in my class rooms.” One of the policies of the Obak j Kollege is to not attempt to flunk out as many as possible, but instead they encourage their students to bet ter work and more .enjoyment in do ing it. The Kollege is expecting an in creased enrollment this term, most especially of football men; this last term many of the football men were forced to carry only part time work in the. kollege because of their out side activities, now though they are having a great deal more time and i many have already shown their in- j tention to carry out their class work down .here. GUESS WHO This well known campus character, snapped in an unconscious moment by the Krier’s photographer, has just returned to the city after a rather ex tended Christmas vacation. The re markable facial expression so promin ent here is due to the pleasing results of the Obak lunch counter; for this man had already seen the current is sue of the scandal sheet when he posed for this surprising picture. The hangman’s noose affair around his neck is one of those things that often results from Yuletide affection'; the young lady contributed this of fering, according to his own state ment, admitted in a moment of re pentance that she had not done it on purpose, but had really thought that ties of yellow, lavender, scarlet and pale indigo combination should be becoming to a man with straw colored hair and red nose—she knows better now. The moral of this story is that if you too have been the innocent vic tim of careless gift selections, or if you have suffered the rather embar rassing experience of having quite a collection of F’s published a fter your name in the “News Bulletin” you will find a smile of contentment at the snow white Obak lunch counter. What a difference just a few cents make!”
