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.
Oregon Golfers to Have
Excellent Course for
Practice This Season
(Continued from page one)
country. 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. The article
is the work of Eaehel Husband, for
mer Oregon student in geology.
From her study of the fossil horned
owl, Bubo Virgianus, Miss Husband
concluded that the present species
is a descendant. The owl that she
studied is of the same specifes as
those that are found in the pleis
tocene beds of Eastern Oregon.
Miss Husband was a graduate
student in paleontology while at
Oregon. 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. The last year of her work
was conducted under the direction
of Dr. L. H. Miller, an, authority on
fossil birds. This fall Miss Hus
band went to the University of
Kansas and is graduate assistant at
the college.

BASEBALL PROSPECTS
HELD BRIGHT BY COACH
Lettermen and Frosh Stars
Contest Positions
The prospects for varsity base
jail this year are good. There will
ie seven letter-men back and good
naterial coming up from last year’s
’rosh squad.
Last year’s men who are back in
ichool are: Bliss, Cook, Brooks, Wil
iams, Hobson, Wright, and King.
3rooks and Williams will compose
he nucleus for the pitching staff
vith Bliss and Cook handling the
•eceiving end of the battery. Hob
ion will be back at his old posi
;iort at third. Wright and King
vill be in the outfield. Cook may
>e shifted to the outfield also.
Last year’s frosh who will re
)ort this year are: R. Adolph, T).
idolph, Jones, Mimnaugh, and Har
rison. Mimnaugh aa catcher and':
Jones at third did good work
throughout the season for the frosh
last year. Harrison and D. Adolph
showed up well in the box, Harri
son pitching stellar ball. Rex
Adolph displayed much ability at
the keystone position. These now
men show promise of strengthening
weak spots in the rank of the var
sity.
Next week Coach Reinhart will
start pff the first practice of the
season. This'will be for the pitch
ing staff only and will be held in
the men’s out-door gymnasium.
Possibly a barn storming trip in
the south may be arranged over
spring vacation to play three games
each with the University of Cali
fornia anl Stanford university.
Nothing definite has been sched
uled however.
