For the Common Good
There is a very definite place for an Inter-organization Con
gress on this campus. The recent meeting of representatives of
men’s and women’s houses gave origin to the idea that the
divided Inter-fraternity and Pan-IIellenic councils can coor
dinate their action and their authority, make their organizations
more important, and perform a more valuable service to all
living organizations represented.
Pan-Hellenic council has jurisdiction over women's rush
ing. Inter-fraternity council has managed to establish sensible
and fair rushing regulations for the men’s organizations. It has
made recommendations concerning the desirability of bringing
more fraternities to the campus. It has asserted itself in re
gard to guests for Junior week-end. But in its zealous passing
of resolutions and prompt appointment of committees of in
vestigation it has lacked the vigor and whirl of interest necessary
to an organization dealing with important questions.
The restriction of the power of Pan-Hellenic council, the
limitation of its function to that of rushing and regulation of
pledging makes it a simple monomial quantity sufficient unto
itself. It gives consideration to one problem only, and refuses
to arbitrate about other matters.
It was shown at the meeting of organizations that there are
many matters of njajor importance requiring consensual action.
There are topics dealing with efficient methods of bookkeeping,
hiring of help, uniform wages, social etiquette, buying of pro
visions and equipment, and expenses of management which
merit group consideration. Houses on this campus have been
reluctant to make comparisons of their mutual affairs. Any
inquisitorial action coming from the administration of the inter
fraternity bodies is eyed askance. Organizations have been
jealous of their integrity and their privacy.
In refusing to hear each other’s troubles and worries, the
houses are but “cutting off their noses to spite their faces.”
A report of a mistake of one house in some matter of manage
ment or policy could serve as a warning to any or all other
houses. The University is willing to lend all possible aid to
forming an effective body, an Tutor-organization Congress, to
thresh out problems of all kinds, including rushing. It would
relieve the women’s forum of its function. It would consult,
with tin* independent interests of the campus when matters
relating to them arose, it would be a body of final authority
in organization affairs, and would be endowed with the power
bo enforce its regulations.
The idea of this congress was presented in the embryo at
the meeting of house representatives. It can be developed, it
all organizations will disabuse themselves of the idea that some
one else is trying to pry into their affairs. Tti order to suc
ceed, this movement, one for the best interests of all concerned,
requires, and merits, the unselfish support of all.

A resolution was passed at the
meeting to endorse the McNary
Haugan bill now before Congress,
which is up for the protection and
assistance of those in the agricul
tural industry. Te association like
wise voted to back the Kelly-Stein
bill, also up before Congress for the
interests of the manufacturers.
O. F. Tate, past president of the j
Montana State Retail Merchants ’
association, was at yesterday’s
meeting to aTouse the interest of
the convention in the McNary
Haugan bill.
Meeting Held at 10
Ot/ier important mutters) talari
up at the business meeting were the
reading and voting on of 18 changes
recommended for the constitution
and by-laws of the association deal
ing with election of officers, chang
ing of words, elimination of parts
of articles and section, and dues.
President Thomas, in closing the
meeting, urged greater cooperation
among the members of the associa
tion, both for immediate good and
greater future good.
In review of the morning ses
sions, there was the general meet
ing at 10 o ’clock, at which time
Dean Robbins reported on the work
of the schoool of business adminis
tration’s research bureau, and the
lecture by Irving E. Vining on “Ef
ficiency.” During a 15-minute re
cess, between Dean Robbins’ report
and Vining’s lecture, all the
“freshies” and “sophs” of ^he con
ference gatered on the north steps
of Villard while they had their pic
ture taken. In a second picture
taken, some of the University stu
dents gathered with the business
men, for another group picture.
Robbins Gives Report
It is significant that Dean Rob
bins’ report expressed the spirit of
the entire convention—the realiza
tion that there is value in coopera
tion between the business men and
the work of the school of business
administration. The need of a local
state measuring stick, by which
Oregon business men can test the
standing of their businesses, and
adapt their situations to Oregon
state statistics and profit accord
ingly, was recognized.
Dean Robbias in his talk divided
the work of the school of business
administration into two groups, one
dealing with the making of special
investigations, on such topics as,
“what percentage of store failures
are due to poor location.” The
other dealt with the cost of doing
business in the state, both as to
immediate results, and to long-time
results.
Need Shown for System
“We are,” said Dean Robbins,
“in the age, as Air. Lewis said
in his talk at this convention, when
we either go in the direction of the
Socialist and his views, or in the
direction where we definitely justi
fy competitive ways of doing busi
ness.
"The establishment of a cost sys
tem is the effort of the association
to eliminate ruinous competition
and to make a more intelligent form
of competitive business.
“It is a system to know where

the gains and where the losses of
our business are.”
At many of the individual ses
sions of the convention, it was
voted that the questionnaire sent
out by the school of business ad
ministration was too complicated to
include all the business men of the
state. So Dean Robbins outlined
two possible ways of getting around
this situation. The first plan is
to get out different questionnaires
for each class of business, but the
two weaknesses of this are, the
extreme expense and the more than
ever complicated questionnaire
that would develop as a result.
Second Plan Favored
Tho second plan is to get out a
general questionnaire having two
parts, one including the simple
forms which would fit any mer
chant having any bookkeeping
system,, and the second consisting
of a more involved form, so as more
detailed figures can be obtained
for statistics in working out the
cost-finding system. The second
plan was favored.
E. Cooke Patton, Salem, the “mer
chant magician,” drew a large
crowd at 2 o’clock yesterday after
noon, when he performed “wonder
ful and varied stunts of his trade.”
Mr. Patton, who does his “magic
work” only as an amusement, did
some clever stunts and more than
once caused loud applause and com
ment.
Immediately following his session,
the association delegates moved to
Commerce building from Villard
for the business session, which was
the closing event of the convention.
A banquet at the Osburn hotel last
night marked the grand finish of
the twentieth convention of the
merchants. Irving E. Vining, giving
an address on the “Development
in Oregon,” was the banquet
speaker.
Convention Is Second
The convention held here Mon
day", Tuesday and Wednesday, was
the second of its nature to be held
on the University of Oregon cam
pus; and all visitors, University
faculty members and students, con
cerned with the event, pronounce
it as “unusually successful.”
The trade divisions, “the back
bone” of the conference, brought
up and worked out some very im
portant and vital problems of spe
cial interest to the representatives
in each group. With round-table
discussions as their object, the divi
sions fulfilled the fundamental pur
pose for which they were planned—
