Junior Week-end, the “tyrant” which has driven many a junior class to distraction with its multitudinous cares and worries and which often resulted finally in bringing to the campus as students only a few of those entertained, is due for a “run-in”. The student council has a committee already working on an investigation of the matter. Dean Dyment points out in another place in this issue of the Emerald that high school officials are complaining of the interruption which it occasions in the high schools of the state. He voices the opinion of higher education standards committee when he points out that Junior Week-end visitors get a wrong impression of the University through the over-emphasis on so cial life. He brings back the definite resolution from the com mittee that Junior Week-end be modified or changed somehow to eliminate some of the evils. The issue is now squarely before the student body. If is generally recognized that many of those who come to the Junior Week-end festivities are not of the type which make the most desirable students. A great evil which lias grown up is the “professional junior-week-ender,” who comes year after year to be entertained without an idea of ever entering an institu tion of higher learning. Those who were closest in touch with the recent high school student-body officials’ conference believe that the type of ac tivity carried out then is more worthwhile than the frivolous kind of program. Others would go so far as to elminate Junior Week-end entirely. On the other side of the question are those who feel that Junior Week-end is an advertising asset and a valuable addi tion to the social calendar of the year. The Junior class has its committee already appointed to take care of this year’s events. They would doubtless deplore any far-reaching inter ference with present plans. Yet the question is with us. The Emerald feels, as the standards committee felt, that a middle course might be taken. There is some value in Junior Week-end; but it has been car riied too far. It isn’t worth the effort now, in view of the fact that the visitors, no matter how worth-while they may be, have no chance really to see the University as it is. This paper is a medium of expressing student opinion. The Emerald welcomes opinions on the subject. Those really in terested in the best interests of the Oregon of the future should respond. Dean Straub Speaks l)r. John 8traul>, Dragon's Grand Old Man, spoke at a banquet the other night, lie told the high school delegates what they should do when the time comes to get their higher education. He talked to them just as forcefully as he used to talk to the Oregon freshman. In truth Dean Straub is with us again. It was a glorious sight to see the man Oregon loves and admires standing before the youth of the state and delivering aueh a spirited message. It will be some time before Dean Straub can partake in our activities as fully as in former years, but his demonstration of his ever-present youth a few nights ago proves that the Oregon fight as typified in our Dean can never be downed. Oregon Stickers With track season looming in the distance we are reminded of Bill Hayward's old saying. “The man who sticks is bound to win out.” As Bill says, “Track men are usually made; very few are born stars.” It is the long months of training and work-out that finally produces the men who write Oregon’s name on the annals of Pacific coast sport history. Such athletes as Walkley have been produced under careful training. That famous distance man didn’t know what a pair of track shoes looked like before he entered the University. It is tfie same in all lines of student activity and in the world at large. The plugger is more likely to succeed in most instances than the flash. Oregon needs more “stickers.” •<> ----—. . 4> Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this cohunn for two issues only.

Emerald: The writer, noting in today’s Emerald a letter signed “Senior” which makes asperations upon certain features of junior week-end, and which uses as its “news excuse” the fact that the higher education stand irds committee recently passed a re solution concerning junior week-ends in general, will now set down for the Emerald the circumstances and con tent of that resolution, since the type of junior week-end in the Uni versity is obviously becoming some thing of an issue among the students. The higher education standards committee consists of one representa tive from each of the principal de gree-granting institutions of Oregon, and in its meetings there are dis cussed many items of common inter est in undergraduate education. The meeting at which the resolution was passed was held at the Portland Hotel last Saturday mornig. The item of junior week-end was not in the program, but came up ac- ! eidenllj. It was the representative! of Oregon Agricultural College who I raised the point. The committee,! which seeks to keep higher education co-ordinated with high school educa tion as far as it can, was discussing (he relationship of the higher educa tional staffs with the high school ex ecutives, and as many high school executives wore said to be discontent ed with the dofnands that junior week-ends made upon their students, a general discussion of junior week ends then seemed in order. The various representatives present were inclined to indite junior week-end oc casions on a number of scotbs. As nearly ns I can remember they made the following points: That the purpose of the original junior week-end was to interest high school students in higher education, but that the original idea had been taken up by so many institutions that high school principals justly com plained of the interruption in senior and oven junior classes. That whereas in the original junior week-end high school visitors were able to see the institution at work, now the occasions have perhaps be come intense social functions during which the academic life and work are not seen at nil. That as a result parents of high school visitors often get an inaeeu rate impression of the extent of so cial activity in university and col lege life. Also that students are frequently driven away from an institution by .junior week-end, with the result that the original purpose of the event is defeated altogether. I think the various representatives also felt that fraternities and soror ities did not find junior week-end of such benefit to them as a “rush oc casion” as the expense and effort would seem to justify. However, as that factor was none of the com mittee’s business it did not enter into the discussion. There were other points in the case against junior weekends as now conducted, but the resolution actual ly passed was very brief. It simply suggested that junior week-end might be modified or changed somehow to eliminate most of the evils cited; or possibly that it might be abolished altogether. I personally agreed substantially with the indictment as made by the committee, but have long been reluc tant to cry out against the growing evils of this traditional spring term event because I have regarded it as an event that was wholly run by the students, and have felt that any move for reform should come from the students themselves. Since the issue is made by the students them selves, however, I now feel freer to j address the Emerald upon this sub ject. COLIN DYMENT. January 16, 1924.
