Phones-Editor, 1820; Manager, 721.____ „ „ ___ „„„_ Assistant—Jack Hoyt Day Editor—Mary Conn Night Editor—Bob Nelson A Sensible Attempt To Ease The Activity Burden In an attempt to ease the extra-curricula activities burden which invariably falls on a few unfortunates, the student body president and vice-president have evolved a system of activity listing, which it is believed, will enable student leaders to dis tribute the activity load evenly. Most everyone agrees that a little “activities is a good thing, but everyone is also agreed that too much activities is a very bad thing. The happy medium seems to be that point where the student carries both his scholastic and extra-curricula interests successfully. When the studies begin to suffer, the time has come to drop activities; but so often, to the student s aerious detriment, the activities are carried and the studies dropped. ... , With this goal in mind—to spread the activities evenly and among as many persons as possible—the student officers, by means of the questionaire filled out during registration, have ■^igted every person in ths University under those activities in which they are interested. Under the proposed plan a running record of each person will be kept, with the result that in no case will too many “jobs” be heaped on one person. While the plan is as yet imperfect because of lack of exper ience on the part of those developing it, one may safely assume that unusual success will result from the scheme, provided all student leaders will lend their co-operation in making their appointments. A Fallacy in Evaluating College Education Material prosperity is the legacy of collegiate graduates, according to an item in the “Intercollegiate World. Based upon statistics of earnings of students and graduates of the college of business administration of Boston University and other colleges, the Massachusetts Department of Labor finds that the four years spent in college net the average graduate $72 000. Thev report the total earnings of the high school graduate between the ages of 18 and 60 to $78,000, while the college man’s earnings from 22 to 60 they estimate to be $150,000. ’ ’ These figures are most encouraging to the faltering stu dent who finds himself approaching graduation with nothing ahead save for a few hundred dollars in debts. To find that future security probably awaits him is anything but bad news. While one would be delighted to accept the obvious con clusion—that a college education insures later financial secur Jty_.fi moment’s thought will indicate that a college education, in all probability, does not raise the average man’s earning power to the extent indicated. It is easy to believe that col lege graduates earn $72,000 more than the high school grad uates, but it is equally difficult to believe that the college edu cation is the solitary reason for this state of affairs. The statisticians apparently overlook the fact that college graduates are. a highly selected group. In the first place, most persons graduating from college have a reasonable amount oi intelligence coupled with a fair amount, of perseverance. Also, so have entered the University and to have studied four years indicates a seriousness of purpose. In short, those who have gone through college, in most cases, are more intelligent, more persevering and more adjusted to their surroundings than most persons who have gone only through high school. Had these college graduates for various reasons been denied matriculation in the University the ultimate result of their edu cation and their apparent success in life and incidentally, their income, would not have been altered to any great extent. Whether in college or not, the qualities of perseverance, intelli gence and ambition of these people would most likely have im pelled them to overcome the deficiencies caused by a lack of formal University education. A University education is a source of untold pleasure and benefit; but it is no magic carpet to success, as the statistics would have us believe. 1 SEVEN SEERS f **>- - --- -* FOR YOU A ROSE IN PORT LAND GROWS—LIKE PUN.

Ho has worked up to the herd, but in doing so he has understood aind interpreted those formative thoughts that are traversing the minds of the herd. In keeping neither behind, nor too far before his age, Ander son has retained the greatest of all human greatness—humanity.

Coming Events Wednesday, January 27 4:00-6:00 — Women’s League lea, Woman’s building. 8:15—concert, Paul Kochan ski, Methodist church. Mermen To Vie With Winged “M” Next Saturday (Continued from page one) well-trained Multnomah club mer men in the club’s pool. Abercrombie has a numbe of rea sons for worry about the coming meet. Two of his best splashers, Don McCook and Bob Gardner, are being troubled with infection, and probably will not be able to wear the Lemon-Yellow colors in the first meet of the aquatic season. Another grief is the poor showing the varsity swimmers made in the preliminary tryouts last Friday night. Team Chosen Thursday Next Thursday afternoon at five o’clock, a final tryout will be held in the men’s pool to determine which men will make the trip to Portland Saturday morning. At 7:15 Friday evening the intra-mural swimming meet will also be held in the Woman’s building tank at which time the intra-house swim ming championship will be decided. A number of men now trying out for varsity will participate in this meet. Ex-Varsity Men are With Club In the Multnomah meet the var sity will not be meeting a team of mediocre aquatic artists, but swim mers who have been swimming all year and have participated in sev eral inter-city meets. On the Club men’s team are three former Ore gon varsity swimmers. Getor/ge Horsfall, one of the first men to win the coveted lemon-yellow “O” in swimming, is one of the Club’s star performers. Ben Lombard and Art Erickson, both members of last year’s team, are also included on the Winged “M” roster. The final selection of the varsity team will be after the final tryouts, Thursday.
