It is rumored that editors and the printers, advertising men and the trade journalists, all of whom convene at the same time, learn many things from one another that are worth knowing; certain it is that all have a good time.^ ^ # All the University is honored at the privilege of acting as host to the newspaper men; particularly the faculty and stu dent body of the school of journalism who consider, somewhat selfishly perhaps, that the convention belongs by right of pos session and conquest to the journalism department alone. Year after year the newspaper men have gathered here, have made acquaintances with the faculty and students, until the annual conference is anticipated with much pleasure by everyone. Students in the school of journalism consider it a distinct priv ilege to mingle with the men in the field, and the editors, no doubt, are grateful always to have their editorial policies for the next few years outlined for them by a couple of Emerald seniors. # # # • The University of Oregon is firmly sold on the proposition that its responsibility extends beyond the narrow confines of the campus into the farthest corners of the state. A state Uni versity should be a great storehouse of facts and information for the service and advancement of all peoples of the state; and service to the state as a unit is one of the most vital aspects of higher education. • # # * In the instance of the newspaper men’s convention, one of the outstanding items of the University’s state-wide scope, the college actually plays a very small part in the sessions, the newspaper men conduct the convention themselves Sor the most part. The sessions are, however, splendid get-acquainted parties for the University and the editors, and as past experi ence has proven, the editors leave the conventions with an understanding of the attitude and the purpose of the Univer sity, and the University comes into splendid contact with the most concentrated group of leaders in the state. * * * * So it is, the University, dedicated to state-wide service, wel comes eagerly the opportunity to join forces with Oregon news paper men, closest of all to the state citizenry. “Mutual Interests;” a Word From a Newspaperman By Hal E. Iloss, Secretary Oregon State Editorial Association; President Pacific Slope Newspaper Conference, Manager, Oregon City Enterprise Newspaper men visiting on the campus this week end are appreciative of the courtesies and opportunities extended them by the administration, the faculty, and the student body. Here we can gather and feel that we are welcome for what we are, and the evidence of the sincere welcome we receive makes us all the more interested in our profession and all the more de termined that we shall carry on and justify the fine reception our ideas and views appear to receive. Students of journalism are naturally interested in the visit ing newspaper men. They are their potential employers, and the impressions gathered by the visitors in their contacts with the students is their device for measuring the worth of the education and training the university is giving so the interest is mutual. . . the active editor appreciates the opportunity of meeting and mingling with the embryos, to him must he look to fill the ranks. And there is always room in the ranks for him who knows. Program for Vesper Has Mixed Quartet A mixed quartet, including Mine. Rose McGrew, Mils. I'elbert Ober teuffer, Roy Bryson, and Kugone Carr, besides Joint Stark Evans at the organ, will constitute the pro gram for the Vesper service to be held Sunday from 4:110 to 5:00 at the music auditorium of tho music, building. i Bov. ,T.

Here we have the intrepid Elbert Bede, famous social up lift worker of Cottage Grove setting out on his arduous and strenuous journey to the Oregon Editorial Conference. When he arrives, he will remark on the beauty of the Oregon co-eds, and tell the story about Pat and Mike going fishing, in the first session. And in those dayes at Oregonne there were many strange goinges on, and divers strange happeninges, for the co-eddes they were emanci pated. And an edde wandered thoughtfully downe the fhmiHar lanes, and all different and unfam iliar to him, like the insyde of the Woman’s building to a seniore. And he bethought himself of the time of the year, and betook himself to a tonsorialle shoppe, wherein it was his intention to have deleted his overly longe lockes. And as he entered, beholde, the chaires were fulle, and saide the occupants of the first chaire to the seconde, “I thinke I shall trie the feather edge bobbe this time. And the seconde saide to the first: “Do, dearie, it will match the cut of your shoes. Do you not think that Jim De Pauli is hand some in his new car?” And the edde wandered disconso lately out of the shoppe and into the Oregana, where it was his wont to smoke and muse. But beholde, when he came to the backe boothe, where he was wont to sit, it was filled with the Kappa Korus. And said one of them to the other* “Slip me that matche box, Sis, I’ve run out and my Chesterfield growes colde.” And the edde again went forth, and incautiously crossed the streets without taking into accoimt the neamness of the corner. And the gas buggie piloted by the daintie hande of Peggie Barnett almost ran him over. And he walked on in de spair until he came at length to a pasture, and he entered and talked long and earnestly -with himself. Soon there came a second edde, for the reason that he had no where to go where he could affix his gar ter and he saide: “How, brother.” And saide the first: “Not over lie. It’s your play.” And they walked sadlie about, until there came a thirde, and he saide: “Wherefore, brother.” And the two eddes said: “We play the game of pasture pinochle.” Saide the third: “Deal me a hand, brothers.” Thus came the game of pasture pinochle to Oregonne, many were the eddes who sought surcease in the pastures, so that there were mass meetings and high sockes worne in the lande. * * * Here we have the demure Marian Look in company with a prominent S. A. E. pursuing a special investigation of the concert last week by the ab sent treatment method. “The concert was splendid,”1 she said. “But,” Bob Keeney igl reported to have asked, '“What about the music.” THAT WASHINGTON FOR WARD IS THE MAKING OF THE OREGON BASKETBALL GAME. Now comes one of those rare times when it is possible to be a good loser without making more mental reservations than a Kappa enjoying the hospitality of the Thetas. ORLANDO Y. BINGH Psychology (Continued from page one) cess of four students who took the psychological test in chemistry last term. After compiling my work, I decided that they would make VI, V, III ,and II respectively. As a matter of fact they made VI, V, IV, and I. The student who re ceived a higher grade than was fore cast probably Used a great deal of effort, something that we can’t measure in intelligence tests . On the other hand, the student who re ceived a IV, when a III had been predicted for him, most probably loafed in class, was ill, or else was graded unfairly. “Lack of sleep does not greatly affect the intelligence of individ uals in mental tests,” Mr. Taylor OREGON MEN The best place to have your hair tut CLUB BARBER SHOP Novelty Footwear for Women In the finest of Materials and Workmanship Nbw being shown in The Smartest Spring Patterns HOSIERY CADET 7 WITH VAN DYKE HEEL AND TOE | declares. “Fred A. Moss of George ; Washington University, and exam iners at Stanford University, have | tested students who were kept awake 36 hours, and have found that their intelligence was not im paired. A person can always key himself up to attention for the few hours that the test is held.” i Mr. Taylor has made a curious i discovery. In a series of similar ■ tests ,the differences between the intelligence of individuals is he says, much greater than the Punc tuations of an individual’s own in telligence. | “In general,” he states, “we have | faund that the student who gets high grades in one subject will get grades in others. If he scores jhigh in our mental test, he might : be able to do any subject well, as j the tests usually cover every type of course. If a student hasn’t stu | died well in high school, no matter j what his mental capacity, he prob ably wouldn’t do Iso well in the psychological test as he would have, had he applied himself. “High school grades, however, are a measure of effort. The tests we give to entering freshmen are mostly on intelligence, and are al most negligible in effort. I believe that by studying in high (school, a student attains a broader back ground of general knowledge than if he had loafed and bluffed. Men jtal tests are concerned to a certain : extent with general knowledge. The i persevering student of average in telligence who makes high grades in his studies, does not score high in the psychological tests. His greatest advantage is effort, which is not a factor in the tests.” In pointing out that home en vironment is not as great a factor as most people think, Mr. Taylor says that high school experiences put students on about an equal level. He has noticed, however^ that the wealthy families, average high intellectually, but it is most often the poor ones, he Ishowed, that have the few unusuhlly brilliant children. “Eventually,” he says, “it will be increasingly true that universi ties will put such tests in their re quirements for entering. State uni versities will be slower to do so,” he declares, “but sometime they will find that they will be saving the taxpayers’ money by escaping the necessity for keeping a student in college a term, when a psycholo gical test could determine that he would flunk out promptly.” o—---—---o I Campus Bulletin O ---—^ Students whfc plan to attend the formal forensic banquet in honor of Mr. Houck, Friday night at 7 p. m. should please arrange it with the forensic managers, Elam Amstutz, Jack Hempstead or Mr. J.
