‘OLD OREGON’ HAS
SPRING ATMOSPHERE
The April issue of “Old Oregon”
was issued yesterday and is on its
way to Oregon alumni. It is full
of news of former students, of cam
pus activities and the Student Un
ion drive, with pictures and sketch
es.
The cover of the Spring alumni
magazine is a picture of four Uni
versity girls a-horseback. Two
other campus pictures carry out the
spring idea of the book. A chart of
the “Dix Plan” for class reunions
appears near the front.
Dr. Warren DuPre Smith, head of
the geology department, has con
tributed an article on “Training
the Modern Geologist.” It is illus
trated by five snapshots of Oregon
scenes. Mrs. George T. Gerlinger,
regent, is the author of an article
on the 1925 exposition to be held in
October to benefit the Art Museum
fund. The article includes a list
of the donors to the fund. Mrs.
Gerlinger’s dedicatory address at
the opening of the music auditor
ium is also in “Old Oregon,” as is
Dean John Landsbury’s allegorical
speech.
Other articles are: “University
Aids in Survey of Race Relations*
by C. N. Reynolds, secretary of the
Medical School in Portland, “Ore
gon Traditions Up for Review,’
‘‘President Campbell Returns to
Campus,” “Colonel Creed Hammond!
to be Major-General,” “Stephen,

few short items of local interest.

BUSINESSLIKE MEANS
FOR GIFTS FAVORED
Editor of the Emerald:
Noting with interest yesterday’s
editorial in concern for the Student
Union drives of the future and af
ter reflecting over the most sig
nificant events of the past week, I
'can’t help but feel and agree with
you in advocation of a new campus
drive policy—the substitution of
the term payment method for the
student pledge system.
The proposed Student Union
building cannot be realized in a
practical way if the funds for
which it is to depend on are not
produced by practical, businesslike
| means. *
Granted that the past drives have
I been successful. Their success has
'been chiefly due to the Old Oregon
spirit, which cannot endure for
ever on monied-subjects, and a
general superficial atmosphere of
pep and freshman competition—
but! Considering the inevitable
shrinkage each year as each gift
Campaign becomes less potent in its
purpose than its predecessor and
.considering the future problems of
collections, no one will doubt that
the percentages are against the
University.
Therefore, I think that the only
alternative is the proposed term
building fund.

SATURDAY CLASSES
NOT FAVORED
Dear Editor:
The time for the final decision
on this matter of Saturday classes
is drawing near. Next Wednesday
the faculty of the University will
take a vote, the outcome of which
will possibly settle everything.
There are, of course, good argu
ments on both sides of the question.
Those in favor of week-end classes
assert ;'that it will alleviate the
crowded condition which prevails
in many of the classes, the result,
undoubtedly, of a dearth of instruc
tors and proper classroom facilities.
On the face of it, this might seem
reason enough for making this
change, but when one digs a little
deeper into the matter, one is in
clined to question the validity of
such reasoning. The very sugges
tion that such a measure will be
adopted because of a lack of pro

This, the largest office building in the world, pos

American buildings.
With such existing structural achievements no arch

ser facilities and need of instruc
ts. is an admission, on the face
)f it, that the plan is a half-way
measure. There is no guarantee
;hat the individual student will
really be benefitted by the change,
that the quality of instructoin will
be improved, or that the size of
the classes on the whole will be
materially decreased. One more day
i week is added to the student’s
schedule, and, what is still more
important, to the instructor's. A
professor can prepare for and con
duct only so many classes a week,
and any encroachment upon his
time is bound to be detrimental to
the quality of his instruction. All
of which brings us down to the
question: are we headed for quan
titative or qualitative education,
and its attendant problems, which
we will not go into at this time?
Proponents of the measure may
retort that there is no such issue
at stake, that the institution of Sat
urday classes is a necessary device
to relieve classroom congestion,
which will in turn improve the
quality of instruction. But will it?
Now the writer is not attempt
ing to lampoon the quality of in
struction at present given at the
University, far from it. The point
he is trying to make is that the
benefits to be derived from the pro
posed institution of Saturday classes
will not be, in the long run, great
enough to warrant the acceptance
of the plan.
In this connection, it might be
well to mention another, argument
against holding Saturday classes, to
wit, that it will rob many worthy
students who are working their way
through college, of the opportunity
of earning some of that “filthy
lucre” which will keep them in
school.
But when all is said and done, the
real issue is: will the adoption of
this measure be of genuine aid to

SOME ARGUMENTS
AGAINST $5.00 FEE
To the Editor:
“Eat, drink, and be merry, for
tomorrow you may die,” seems to
me the attitude many students of
the University are taking regard
ing pledges and campaigns of this,
and the other variety.
Mr. Editor, I do not favor the
Emerald’d plan of a $5 fee, payable
at registration time, in order to get
Student Union money from every
student. A few reasons will suf
fice:
Many students are having diffi
culty in making financial matters
hold out until summer time at least.?
Since a pledge is a pledge, stu
dents who have signed up for $J.00,
will find that they will be paying
the $100 plus the $60 bv your plan.
College expenses are high enough
for the regular term fees and living
expenses, without adding the $15 a
year more.
I believe that the Student Union
pledges should be entirely volun
tary, and no fee should be charged
unless the individual registration
paver is in favor of it.
And finally, Mr. Editor, I have
the impression that many students
have pledged their $100 because
others have done it, and that they
i hardly give the matter serious
thought as to where the money is j
to come from.
