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

Clarence D. Thorpe, formerly of
the English department of the
University, is now at the Univer
sity of Michigan, teaching and
studying for his doctor’s degree. He

ever, he mentions the Freer gallery
as being the most distinctive thing
which they had the opportunity of
seeing. In the Freer gallery is a
splendid collection of Whistletr.

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.

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. |

Wrigley and the Engine
Many retailers have stocked merchandise that
was supposed to sell because of a flurry of adver
tising to appear in local papers. 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.”
