Women Offered Fellowships In Social Research Candidates Must Have De gree in Sociology or Economics Deadline for Applications Set for May 1 Three paid fellowships in social economic research, carrying a sti pend of $500.00, are offered each year by the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union to women who wish thorough preparation for such work. Applications must be filed before May 1. To qualify a candidate must have a degree from a college of good standing, training in economics or sociology, and satisfactory (refer ences in regard to health, charac ter, and special fitness for social economic research. She is expected to devote her entire tim,e for 10 months to the training offered. Courses Varied Training is given in the making and criticism of schedules, in field work, in the construction and in terpretation of statistical tables, and in the literary presentation of the results of the investigation.'. The course in statistics given by the director of the department of research is required. Clerical as sistance, equipment, and traveling expenses necessary for the investi gation aTe furnished. Two cooperative investigations will be made by the staff of the re search department in addition to formal training in statistics and methods of research. The first of these is limited in scope and may be based on data already collected. The second, which will be the chief original investigation of tbe year, will require field work for the fill ing of schedules, and will provide practical experience in all stages of the work required for modern cooperative investigation. Master’s Degree Given Students who have received sat isfactory undergraduate training in sociology and economics may offer the year’s work in the research de partment in fulfillment of require ments for the degree of Master of Science in Research at Simmons College. The thesis, or research work, is accepted also in certain seminar courses at Radcliffe Col lege, Tufts College, and Massachu setts Institute of Technology, and by special arrangement with the committee on- graduate instruction. The work may be counted as a part of the requirements for a Master’s degree at Wellesley Col lege. Several w-estern universities have accepted the completed stu dies .as theses for advance® de grees, and have given (graduate credit for the training in research. Professors from affiliated colleges serve on the committed which award the fellowships. Additional information may be obtained from the Department of Research, 264 Boylston Street, Bos ton 17, Mass.

These records show that 1238 of this number were engaged in education, 632 in business, 234 in farming, 233 in medicine, 218 in journalism, 178 in law, 146 in engineering, 18 in architecture, and the remaining 403 in politics, social work, nursing, etc. These figures are correct but tell only part of the story; their incompleteness lies in the fact that the records of the school of law show 661 graduates engaged in the practice of law, and the medical school’s tabulations indicate 712 doctors instead of 233. “Success of education”—What is meant by this phrase? There are probably as many opinions as there LAST DAY at The BEX— 't/olden Cocoon" _ CHO«*T * w s«i»v JOINTLY CORDON HELENE CHADWICK A lotta fun— BOY KAHXiEB’S “COUNTRY STORE” at 9 p. m. SPORTS by the Emerald Sport Staff „ By HAROLD MANGTTM VjT/TTH the momentous series with ” California for the Pacific coast basketball championship scheduled to start tomorrow night, the im pression is growing on the Oregon campus that even with the mighty Westergren out of the game, the coming tussles with^ the Bears will not be all wheat cakes and maple syrup for the southerners. Earl “Spike” Leslie, Oregon freshman coach, who scouted last Saturday’s melee between Califor-; nia and Stanford, opines that this week-end’s play will be close and t tight enough to suit the most exact ing. He believes that with Wester gren in the lineup, Oregon would emerge an easy winner by a 10 to 15 point margin. The California style of attack is made to order for a player of the Westergren type, as the Bears use ultra-rush ing tactics. Oregon fans can vi sion the 6ool-headed “Swede” smil ing with satisfaction as his heav ier, rangier opponent plunges in, twisting his hips sharply, and ca vorting down the court in a char acteristic dribble, while the said antagonist gropes dumfoundedly about. * • • Leslie is a mine of information boncerning the Bruins, their style of play, characteristics, and per sonnel. He believes that Oregon has an excellent chance to win if the officials call body-blocking closely, as the southerners depend upon this maneuver to clear the way rather than fast pivoting and foot work. Their blocking, while near perfection, is of small use when the Referee is calling them closely. They employ a five-man zone de fense, picking up their men as they come down the floor. On offenso, they break like thin ice, and never stop or waver for an instant. Benny Holmes, the California cap tain, has been of little use to his team this year, as he reported late and has been troubled with inju ries. He did not even appear on the floor Saturday night. Coach “Nibs” Price, has two other crack forwards in Watson and Butts, strapping six-footers with spetti and endurance. Leslie believes Watson to be California’s best player. Tall Bill Higgins, the Bear cen ter, has been annexing high point honors in practically every game this winter, being especially pro ficient in caging short goals after follow-in shots. His team mates feed him the ball constantly, and he is considered a dead shot, with a fair chance. According to Les lie, Okerberg is faster and shiftier, and should give Higgins an instruc tive week-end in the fine points of center play. Carver, a guard, is the smallest man on the team,standing about 5 feet, eight inches. Hie )is about the same build as Jost, but slight ly heavier in the arms and should ers. George Dixon, a brother of Jimmy Dixon, the football star, is holding down the other guard as signment. He is a tremendously big fellow, and exceptionally fast. All of these men are veterans, and skilled in the style of play expound ed by Price. * » * The game between Stanford and California scheduled for next Sat urday night in Oakland has been cancelled, according to southern ad vices. As California has won two previous tilts, there was nothing at stake. The first two contests of the Oregon series will be staged in the Oakland pavilion, and the third game, if necessary, will be played in the Harmon gym at Berkeley. This will probably be “Nibs” Price’s last bow as a basketball coach. He was recently elected head football coach to succeed Andy Smith, and as a result, will devote his entire attention to the grid iron in the future. Spring practice will start at Berkeley immediately after the coming California-Oregon hoop series. Price has also been acting as freshman basketball coach, but will resign this post too. are people who have thought of the matter. Does it mean: How cheap can education be provided? If one attempts to delve into the intrica cies of definition the issue becomes abstract and definite conclusions cannot be reached. What, then, do these statistics -mean? Our opinion is that they do not indicate the success of educa tion, nor do they indicate the whole divided to the taxpayer for what he has paid out. They m'erely show that the University is successfully training doctors to prevent and cure disease, lawyers to interpret the statutes and maintain the or derliness of the community, busi ness men to transact the affairs of commerce, farmers to produce the raw materials of industry and food ,for great urban groups, engineers to construct bridges and buildings, architects to plan them, and journ alists to inform the public of what is happening. These, are the results of education; its success does not admit of concrete analysis in mone tary terms. The increasing cost can be curbed in only one way: restriction of num bers by a selective process.

Williams gives shaving lather—lather that stays wet and full. It is the result of three generations of spe cializing in shaving soaps. The big tube with the unlosable hinge-cap is 35c; double-size tube containing twice as much, 50c. ALWAYS INSIST ON WILLIAMS students are selected on the basis of those who are by natural endow ment best fitted for University training, quality will replace quan tity, numbers will decline and the cost to the -state will not increase so rapidly. But the taxpayer ar gues that he is paying money for i the support of the university and! has a right to have his son receive the benefits of university training, j Selection of students is not aimed to exclude any particular group but to keep out those who will not ben efit from the instruction, and until the body of citizens realize that cost and numbers are directly re lated, and accede to a policy of rigid selection, the burden cannot be lessened. But if the University of Oregon applies this process of selection, as it is now doing in a mild way, while Oregon Agricultural College places no requirement other than ^a high school diploma on the prospective student those excluded from the University will matriculate at O. A. C. and the burden to the state will be the same as before. Both state institutions must work together if such a program, should it be adopt ed, is to meet with success. The millage bill under which higher education in the state de rives its support is so framed that the amount of money allotted to each institution is based substan tially on enrollment. This has cre ated a tendency toward competi tion for numbers; a program to get more students to get more money. When the additional students arrive there comes the necessity of in creased facilities, more buildings, and the institution is again in fi-J nancial embarassment. If one in stitution engages in a state-wide promotion scheme to increase its enrollment it is tencumbeni} upon the other to combat this promotion by a campaign of its own lest its proportionate income decrease. Thus, it is evident that this short-sighted practice in last analysis rests on a system of support based more on Relative student enrollments than on consideration of the nature- and quality of instruction.^ considera tions at least as important as that of numbers. The publicity of the University and the agricultural college should be designed not to increasing the elephantiasis afflicting the colleges and universities of this country but to getting a better quality of student, to informing the people of Oregon just what their insti tutions are accomplishing, and what they intend to do. A university or college should not restrict itself to its academic, walls but should disseminate its influence through out the state. Who bears the brunt of the cost of education? Briefly the situation is this: There is collected from the general property tax a total of ap proximately $42,000,000 annually, of which in round numbers $2,00, $2,000,000 is appropriated for the support of higher education, accord ing to J. H. Gilbert, professor of eco' nomics in the University of Oregon and one of the foremo.'i tax ex perts in the state. Thus if the Uni versity, the agricultural college and the normal school were stricken from the budget the tax burden would be reduced but one twenty first, less than five percent. For and higher, there is appropriated $16,000,000. Therefore, only one eighth of the educational bill of the state is for higher educaiton and seven-eighths for primary and sec ondary schools. The inequity of the arrangement lies in the fact that in the cities the average tax rate is 56 mills and in the country 24 mills. Under a two-mill tax, which is the rate un der the millage bill, ono-twenty eiglith of the urban dweller’s gen eral property tax goes for higher education while one-twelfth of the farmer’s burden is for this item.

Back in the Stone Age a hoary ancestor walked miles to a cave dweller who bartered some coveted article for one skin instead of the two demanded by the neighbor tradesman. Economy is a principle held in common by the people of all nations. Economy is the paramount principle of our merchandising throughout our chain of 676 Department Stores, and has been during our 23 years of service to the public. Every purchase in our Stores involves a saving to the purchaser, and these savings, ac cruing year after year, make for the soundest kind of economy. is responsible for the tendency to place the entire blame for the cost of education on the University and O. A. C. Seven-eighths of *the cost is overlooked—no apparent censure is heaped upon the elementary and secondary schools, but the tendency is to place the whole of the blamo on the remaining one-eighth. There is no desire on the part of the Em erald to become a participant in the tax controversy, but when real property, which is only a small part of the taxable wealth of the state,1 bears the greater part of the bur den it is certain that the system needs revision. A means is needed of taxing the non-property owning classes, mostly in the cities, who pay nothing toward the support of the j state but who are often better ablo | to bear the burden than are the property holders.
