Day Editor Tkis Issue Gertrude Honk Assistant .Diek Eckman Night Editor This Issue Jack O’Meara Assistant .Clare Heider Intend a> second class matter at the post office at Eueene, Oregon, under act at Congress of March 8, 1879. “You Can Lead a Horse to Water—” CONTENTION that the colle”ge student, as a rule, cannot write the English language fluently and well needs no statistics for proof. Fond parents, reading “Johnny’s” weekly epistle from “collige,” could, if they would, so testify- num erous employers have on several occasions publicly complained of this defect in the college graduate, and the investigator need not search far among the faculty waste-baskets to find material in the form of pitiful themes and examination papers furnishing additional proof and backing, were it needed. Speculation as to the proliable cause, or causes, of this ap parent chirographic lock-jaw proves interesting. G. Stanley Hall, once eminent psychologists and able scholar, expressed an idea or two on the matter- in his own, rather amazing, ver sion of the “King’s English.” He goes back to the high school, and points with an accusing, and perhaps, pointed finger at several rather common practices. The gist of this indictment may be told simply:—that high school students are at this time in their adolescence,, a period when the mind expands rapidly, reaching out and grasping for new ideas. Obviously, therefore, new ideas should be supplied. One of the best, one of the most available sources, is that vast, miue of ideas, literature. High school pupils must dig into this ore, then, and become enriched with its treasure. And now may be stated the charge. Many of the high school English courses emphatically do not encourage voracious reading, but instead, assign but two or three books for a term’s work, forc ing the eager mind to labor over the task of dissection of style, recognition of “figgers of speech,” and such trivial, at this important time, technicalities ns counting the feet, or determin ing the verse form of “Paradise Lost.” Such "finicky” exercises are no more abhorrent nor offen sive to the boy or girl in the teens than offering a horse bear meat instead of the exported pan of oats. The outraged quad ruped bolts at such unnatural fare. Mentally, so does the child. The remedy is so obvious- expression would be a reflection. . . Mr. Hall had further fault ^o find, but it is not of avail here. Voracious, wide, extensive reading will sow ideas, and instill an attitude for recognition of style and lucid expression. It will, further, enable development of style and lucid expression. No small number of college students still shy at thought of reading for pleasure and cultivation. They are dry. As shown, perhaps, it is not their fault. They should drink. Now, how ever, there will be no further excuse. The coming vacation holds the opportunity -unless, as a professor on the campus remarked recently, “You utilize the vacation as a collapsing period.” 1 - • UNION COLLEGE BANISHES LIPSTICKS AND POWDER Union College.—Three days to lengthen their skirts, put collars around their necks, throw away lip sticks and powrod puffs, or be barred from school. That is whnt women at Union college. Seven Day Advent school of Uniontown, Pa., found themselves up against two weeks ago. The idea behind the ruling is that the modern girl should be inconspicuous in dress. Since there is no record of any of them leaving school for violating the rule we muy conclude they are now the most inconspicuously dressed girls in college today. MINNESOTA RADIO HEARD 11,000 MILES DISTANT University of Minnesota.—An other record has been broken by the University of Minnesota. Long distance radio transmission records were broken hv the university ra dio station when it was heard in Australia for 40 minutes. The dis tance covered was more than 11,000 miles and established a new record for the Twin Cities. HARVARD FIRST DAY CUTS MAY RECEIVE PUNISHMENT Harvard.—Instructors of Harvard were notified at the beginning of the new term that they would be permitted to exclude men from their classes rho “cut” on the f'-st day. Campus Bulletin Notices win be printed in this coinmn for two issues only. Copy must be in this office by 6:3* on the day before it is to be published, and must be limited to 20 words. Pi Lambda Theta Tea—Tomorrow afternoon, 3 to 6 at Mrs. Shel don’s home, for all old and new members. Mrs. Penniman coming this after noon to give lecture on table set ting and servic'e, 2:15 at house hold arts building. Everyone welcome. Interfratemity Connell — Meeting postponed from last Thursday, will be held Thursday, March 12, at 7:15 in the basement of the Administration building. • Dean Bovard will give an address on “Some Aspects of Health Edu cation” at the Woman’s build ing, Thursday, March 12, at 8 o’clock, under the auspices of the departments of medicine and zoo logy.

Eleven sports will be offered, all for reg ular physical education credit. The sports that will be offered are: horse back riding, golf, base ball, volley ball, hockey, tennis, swimming folk dancing, interpreta tive dancing, archery and fencing. The classes will*be open to approxi-' mately 35 members so that it is de sirable for the girls to sign up as soon as possible at the Woman’s building. This will not be a registration in the course which takes place at the beginning of the spring term, but rather a list of the girls who are intending to participate in each of the various sports, and the time when they prefer to have their class. In case it is impossible to get a first choice, the girls will be asked to indicate a second preference and tho period when they could best take it. All will be taken into con sideration in the organization of the courses. This is the first time that fenc ing is to be given for credit, and also canoeing may bo taken, but not for credit as that course will last only two weeks, and only six girls will be allowed in a class. The members of the classes in the individual gymnastic classes in almost every case will be allowed to elect their sport., although it will bo necessary that some be assigned that a girl may not get into a sport ; that will tax her strength too greatly. An effort si being made to give the girls an opportunity to either become proficient in the sport that they are most interested in or to | learn a new one. The eleven sports will be divided I and be under the supervision of the j different members of the staff. FACULTY TO HOLD TEA 1N ALUMNAE HALL TODAY _ The faculty women’s visiting day tea will be held in Alumni hall this afternoon from three to six o’clock, the day for it having been changed to the second Thursday in each month.

Bichards, a teaching fellow in the department of zoology, appears in the January number of the American Mathematics Monthly, of ficial journal of the Mathematical Association of America. Mr. Bichards believes that bio logy profits to a great extent by expressing its data in mathematical terms and using that science for a more direct solution of the rela tions or the testing of hypotheses. “Unless the biologist shares his problems with the mathematician as well as with the chemist and physicist, he cannot expect his nec essary co-operation.” WJ9 to Europe* «S3£i steam packet Since 1839 me Royal Mail has been the “comfort route” in ocean travel.
