PROBATION LIST HAS 110 NAMES Students Dropped Total . 45 for Fall Term DYMENT GIVES CAUSES Interruptions Contribute to Failure Increase Upon the recommendation of the scholarship committee, 45 students were automatically dropped from the University at the completion of the fall term. Those students dropped represented those who had “flunked out” or had consistently maintained scholastic records lower than the standard of the Univer sity. The list of students placed on probation for scholastic records to tals 110. These students are re quired to make during the winter term hours sufficient to bring the total to 17 within the two terms. University Average Lower The scholastic record is of low er average this year than last year. Only 33 students flunked out and 82 were placed on probation last fall term. The number of those stu dents whose grades ran into four and fives and by a hair’s breath made only the required three hours was very large, according to a statement from the chairman of the scholastic committee, Dean Colin V. Dyment. The brevity of the fall tefrm, the numerous activities, and interrup tions occurring are factors which contributed to the increase in the number of failures, Deyin Dyment suggested. Holidays were more frequent. The first term was in terrupted by the High School Press conference which usually takes place in the winter term. Home coming, Armistice day, rally holi days, Thanksgiving and an early Christmas vacation were other con tributing interruptions. University Ruling Given The scholarship code of the Uni versity requires that a student fail ing to make passing grades in “three or more hours any term shall be dropped automatically from the University.” Most of the students dropped this term wUnc those who had failed to meet this requirement. The student placed on probation h'as passed in three or more hours, but has failed to make passing grades in nine hours. Readmission after dismissal from the University because of scholas tic record is passed upon after nine months. Miriam Van Waters, Ph. D., who graduated from the University of Oregon in 1908, has written a book entitled “Youth in Conflict,” an nounces The New Republic for Jan uary 7, 1925. Dr. Van Waters, referee of the juvenile court of Los Angeles, grad uated from the University with a B. A. degree in 1908, and in 1910 took her M. A. degree. She was a major in philosophy • and history, entering from St. Helens Hall, Portland in 1905. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary fra ternity. Miss Van Waters is a daughter of Dr. George B. Van ■Waters of Portland. Advertising her book, The New Republic writers, “Dr. Van Waters, who is referee of the juvenile court of Los Angeles, has drawn not only upon years of experience in hand ling delinquent children but also upon a background and knowledge which embraces a thorough under standing of all the latest develop ments of psychiatry. In addition, Dr. Van Waters possesses a bril liant style and the case material which she has assembled is dra- i matieally and colorfully presented.” i UNIVERSITY DEPOT NAS MANY LOST ARTICLES Articles of all descriptions are collecting fast over in the lost and found department in the Univer sity depot, according to H. M. Fisher, in charge. Most of the ar ticles are those held over from last term, but a few have been turned in this term. Twenty-nine umbrellas, both silk and cotton, are hanging in the lost and found cabinet. Fountain pens, eversharp pencils, keys, locks, van ity combs, and other miscellaneous pieces are piled on the shelves. A pair of tennis shoes, silk and wool scarfs, two or three pair of gloves, vanity purse, and a woman’s hat together with several handkerchiefs constitute the feminine collection. The men are not exempt from the general evidence of carelessness, as is shown by the large array of rain coats, overcoats, mackinaws, hats and caps to be seen among other articles of clothing. A wrist watch is about the most valuable piece that has been turned in to the department. Fisher is very desirous that stu dents come over and inquire about things they have lost, in order that the collection may be disposed of with little trouble. Each article is tagged and labeled with the place or building from which it came. FORMER INSTRUCTOR STUDIES AT MICHIGAN Clarence D. Thorpe to Take Examinations in April Clarence D.

Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe experienced particular pleasure in meeting Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Solve, formerly of the University of Oregon, whom Mr. Thorpe says they see fre quently. EXTENSION CATALOGUE RECENTLY OFF PRESS A new Correspondence Study | Catalogue, containing announce ments for 1924 and 1925, came off the press recently. It is put out by the University extension divi sion. Several new courses have been added; while some of the older courses have been revised, with new texts put in, and new references given where the authors of the courses have found it advis able to make this change. Among the new courses is one in written English that satisfies the group requirement in written Eng lish necessary for the bachelor of arts degree. This is the result of a j heavy demand for such a course. A page of snapshots, showing a group of correspondence students from all parts of the country, is run in the issue. The pictures show people from all walks of life, from lonely herders to house wives. The regular correspondence study course requirements and regulations along with the instructions in how to carry out a correspondence study course are printed in the catalogue.

FACULTY MEMBER TALKS BEFORE KIAWANIS CLUB At the weekly luncheon of the ! Kiawanis club yesterday, Professor i E. H. Decker of the| law school de- ] livered an address on the subject I of “business men’s contracts.” STUDENT N.S.F. CHECKS INCREASE DURING EAU Sum rs Most Ever Received Over Similar Period * N. S. F. checks totaling $1,100.00 were received from University stu dents by administrative offices dur ing the fall term. This sum is the largest ever accumulated in a sim ilar period, according to E. P. Lyon, University cashier, who has checked the matter carefully. In compliance with a University ruling, all offenders must pay cash at the cashier’s office for the| re mainder of the year, personal chocks being refused. The situation this year is similar to that of two years ago when local banks and merchants appealed for 'administrative co-operation in curb ing the excessive number of checks written without sufficient funds to cover them. As a result severe penalties were imposed upon several consistent offenders. Recently with a relaxing of administrative vigil ances the practice has re-appeared with increased momentum. Eugene banks receive the brunt of student carelessness, one report ing an average of three hundred N. 8. F. checks per month. These! are returned to the merchants cash ing them, and the student is in turn required to make good the worth less paper. Merchants, bankers, and University officials however, are! agreed that seldom is any moneyj lost in these unbusinesslike trans- j actions. Eventually, the students j fulfill their obligations. The practice, nevertheless, is a drain upon the patience of those handling the checks, much valuable time being lost in returning the re fused paper. Greater still, affirm those familiar with the situation, is the harm done to those incurring this shiftless and unbusinesslike habit which is likely to be of seri ous consequence when the friendly college surrounding is abandoned. | HERMIAN CLUB TO HEAR !

The following story recently told of William Wrigley illustrates the continual effort necessary to keep goods before the public. While riding on a train Mr. Wrigley was told by a friend that his product was so widely known he was wasting money by continually advertising. “If the engine were to be cut off from this train what would happen?’’ asked Mr. Wrigley. “The train would coast for a while and then come to a stop.” “Exactly,” said Mr. Wrigley. “And if I should cut off advertising my business would coast for a wdiile and then stop.” Don’t coast -- Speed Up Advertise !
