NEW FLAN USED IN C1NASIUNI Women’s Classes Divided According to Tests CANOEING IS ALLOWED Spring Term Will Offer Greatest Variety A unique system of organization of women’s gymnasium classes in the University of Oregon is con sidered by people in that field of work to be one of the most efficient systems in the country. The outstanding characteristics of this system is the wide latitude afforded the student in choice of sports during her required two years in this- department. Freshmen are Divided At the beginning of the year, freshmen are divided into two groups, according to the score made in an ability test taken by all new students during their first week in the University. Group A has danc ing on two days of the three re quired per week. The activity for the third day ies optional to the stu dent, who is given a choice of par ticipation in the current sport or swimming. Group B takes gymnasium on two days of the week but is also allowed a choice in program for the third day. Folk dancing or swimming is offered. In the second term of the year, the work of these two groups is re versed. Group A does what Group B was allowed during the first term. Group B is given the work offered Group A the previous term. Canoeing is Limited The widest variety of gymnas ium activity is offered in the spring term. The three required hours may be taken in any of the follow ing: hockey, baseball, 1 orseback riding, golf, tennis, volley ball, archery, swimming, folk dancing, in terpretative dancing, or canoeing. Owing to the small number of can oes, instruction in canoeing is lim ited to two weeks, after which time the group of students taking canoe ing must transfer to another sport on the list.

This would be a great attribute to Oregon’s recreational program, and would satisfy the long felt want for such a course. The Pacific Northwest Intercol legiate Golf Tournament promises to be the biggest affair of its kind ever held on the coast. California and Stanford who haven’t been able to enter teams before have definitely signified their intention of doing so this season. The tournament will be held in Portland this year, some time in May, and Oregon will hold an elimination tournament early in April to piek a four-man team as. representative of this institution. NEW RUSHING RULES FOR WOMEN PLANNED At a meeting of Pan Hellenic council last Friday, it was decided to establish a new set of rushing rules for the sororities on the cam pus. Two committees, headed by Mary Skinner and Cleo Base, were appointed by Alberta McMonies, president of the organization, to write to different colleges and find out about their rushing rules. The work of these committees will be done separately, and each group, after going over the various rules, will formulate a set for this campus. Those will be submitted to the council, and the one consider ed most advantageous for local use will be adopted. UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO PURCHASES PAINT GUN University of Colorado.—A new electric paint gun has recently been purchased and put into operation by the department of construction at the University of Colorado. The machine, known as the Mathews type, is run by a three horse-power engine which forces air from the engine to the paint can. From the paint can a small flexible tube runs to the spreading gun, which is held in the hand of the painter. The machine is to be used in the paint ing of large surfaces, but can be used in finer work if the places which are to be left unpainted are shielded. WORLD WITHOUT WAR POSSIBLE i IN DEAN F. G. YOUNG’S OPINION i Civilization Faces Disaster Through Lack of Social Control; Natural Sciences Far More Advanced That the world could be managed without wars if we had an adequate social science, is the qpinion of F. G. Young, dean of the school of sociology. Natural sciences, which include the making of poisonous gases and death* rays, are hundreds of years ahead of our social achievements, j said Dean Young. The leading | peoples of the world are getting into trouble socially because of the ‘extraordinary and unlimitable phy sical or material accomplishments. The world faijes disaster because it is lacking in adequate social con trol. “Possibly the social sciences are on the wrong track,” Dean Young suggested. “They have tried (to use the natural science method, and have naturally been slower because of the difficulty in handling and studying human beings. Their scientific methods have been formu lated in the light of the old asso ciational psychology with sensa tions as the fundamental' elements of knowledge. That psychology has been exploded. The social scientist can get ahead only if he turns to up-to-date psychology, which is more or less behavioristic, teaching that the life of every living thing is a, continual adjustment to its envir onment. The savage ekes out a mis erable existence in his environment, : while modern civilized man, with : his knowledge, would reconstruct it to suit his' needs. Human exper- , ience thus becomes an affair pri- ] marily of doing. Knowing is only intelligently conducted doing.” The problem of a scientific - method for the natural or social - sciences simmers down, Dean Young , believes, to that of getting a line on increasing the intelligence factor , in doing. The natural scientist can ] watch changes, but that is difficult for the social scientist to do. The . main thing rests in the application of new forms of psychology. In this way, he claims, Europe can be reconstructed. If this knowledge had been applied before, a decade would not have passed, since 1914, with the continent in a state of such social depletion. GEOLOGY GRADUATE PUBLISHES ARTICLE — An article discussing the varia tion in character of the limb of the owl was published in "the latest is sue of the Condon bulletin, which is issued once a term.

She spent two years at the Los Angeles museum and classified the fossil birds that were found in the asphalt deposits of Eancho La Brea.
