Week-end Made
Successful by
Co-operation
Events Surpass Previous
Ones in New Ideas
And 3Ianagement
Committees Commended
for Services
Tfow that Junior 'Week-end is
over, it remains to write a few
words in respeet of the success of
every event, ithe [workj of those
conscientious directorate and com
mittee members who were respon
sible for the success of the week
end.
Campus day with its parade of
frosh numeral men to the“0”, the
tug-of-war, and the burning of the
green lids were well handled by
Will Kidwell, chairman of Campus
day.
The campus luncheon was suc
cessfully planned and carried out
by Doris Brophy, chairman, and her
assistants.
Regardless of threatening weath
er conditions, Earl Chiles, chair
man of the canoe fete, was un
daunted, and the result of his per
severance and that of his commit
tee, was a canoe fete which phe
sented a greater variety of floats
than has even been shown in any
previous fete. Each float ex
pressed a sincere interest on the part
of those who designed and construc
ted it. The etheral and imaginative
effect of the fete was enhanced by
the steam-belching dragon, a new
decorative idea introduced in the
fete. Perfect in design and effect,
it was a brilliant tribute to Ken
neth Birkemeier, who created and
designed it.
Lawrence Armond, lighting chair
man, deserves commendation for
his choice of lighting effects. The
houses also exhibited good 'judg
ment in the lighting of their floats.
Ed Therieau, in choosing the feat
ures of the canoe fete, presented
an appealing program.
The Junior Prom was the pin
nacle of the gaieties, of the week
end. Splendid in decorative ap
peal and beauty, it showed a vast
amount of research and labor of
the committees headed by Rolf Klep,
decoration chairman, Lowell Hob
litt, construction, and Howard Os
vold, manager. The feature, done
by Catherine Sartain, was one of
the most dramatic over presented.
. Speaking of the work of Ralph
Staley, chairman of the Junior
Week-end directorate, James John
son, president of the junior class, de
clared yesterday, “I think Staley’s
work has been exceedingly effici
ent. The perseverance and interest
lie has shown has been admirable.”
Frosh Tennis Squad
Defeats Rook Team
The Oregon freshman tennis team
made a clean sweep of the matchos
held with the O. A. 0. rooks last
Saturday whom they defeated, 7
to 0. Rain halted the play in the
morning hut resumed again in the

Noor, Hartman and Slauson came
through in fine style winning their
matches. Chalmers None pulled a
“Prince of Wales” in the second
set on his doubles match when ho
fell down and dislocated his should
er. His partner, Slauson pulled it
1>ack into place and play was re

Report
(Continued from page one)
veil-balanced unity perceptiblo from
tbo student’s point of view—no ade
quate senso of the “oneness” of
knowledge, and a subsequent fail
ure on the part of the student to
grasp early enough the significance
of his education.
Thirdly, the presence of an all
too large number of students who
have no place in the University,
who exert a parasitic influence up
on tlie rest of the community.
Fourthly, tho widespread use of
stereotyped methods of instruction
where the habit of spoon feeding is
begun early and continued as long
as possible.
In the remaining portions of this
report we shall endeavor to point out
changes in the present administra
tive policy of the University which
we believe would bo of material as
sistance in bringing about a health
ier scholastic tenor within the Uni
versity. In this report wo are not
concerning ourselves with causes
which may or may not exist outsido
the University. We are convinced
that a great deal can be done from
within to alleviate the situation, to
raise true scholastic, achievement to
a level heretofore deemed unattain
able. Before outlining the changes
which we propose wo shall re-iter
ate a platitude often utterod by
members of the professoriat, to
wit, “that the crux of the situa
tion hinges, after all, upon the in
dividual student’s getting down to
good hard sustained work.” We
do not, however, subscribe to that
other dogma, that “a good student
will always get an education in
spite of the institution.” Wo wish
to change that to read, “with ev
ery possible aid from the Univer
sity.”
in the report which is to follow
I wo shall suggest certain changes
which we believe will facilitate a
■ more efficient functioning of the
education process.

For Old Oregon
Mrs. Ernst Writes Story
on Fiftieth Anniversary
for May Issue
Page of Students’ Poems
to Be Printed
With the distribution of the Ap
ril “Old Oregon,” material for the
May issue is being rapidly assem
bled. One of the big articles in the
new number is by Edward M. Mill
er, editor of the Emerald. He has
contributed a review of the stu
dent movement to investigate the
status of intellectual activity on
the campus at the present time. The
article, entitled “The Undergradu
ates Pause to Think,” reviews and
reprints in part the student com
mittee report running in the Em
erald this week. Material in the
article is taken from the ques
tionnaires recently sent out by the
student daily. Last month “Old
Oregon" printed the report of the
Alumni Visiting committee and Mr.
Miller’s article follows along that
line, the studying of campus con
ditions.
New Series of Articles Begins
“Old Oregon” edited by Jean
nette Calkins, alumni secretary, is
starting a series of articles entitled
“What is the Matter With the Uni
versity?” A number of persons
representing divergent points of
view have been invited to express
themselves on this subject. The
first of the series has been written
by Glenn E. Hoover, assistant pro
fessor of economics.
An interesting feature in the May
issue will be a page of poetry by
Oregon students. Philippa Sherman
has contributed a group of three
poems under the title of “Mill-Race
Musings.” The three poems are in
dividually named “Tree Tops,”
“Maples in Spring” and “Water
Thoughts.” Ruth McDowell has
written “A plea,” and “The Ranee”
has been sent in by Juliette Claire
Gibson. “The Old Ranch Widow,”
by Walter Evans Kidd, which won
the prize in the national contest
conducted by the University of
Texas, is printed in this section
which is entitled “Fir Boughs and
Frills.”
Another article appearing in the
new number will be “A Fiftieth
Birthday Is an Occasion” by Alice
Henson Ernst, chairman of the
Commemoration Ode. The article
urges all students, former students,
and graduates to submit odes com
memorating the fiftieth anniver
sary of the founding of the Univer
sary to be used in connection with
the Semi-Centennial Celebration
next fall.
Story on 30th Beunion
Lester G. Hulin, ’96, has contri
buted a story of the 30th reunion
of his class which will take place
this commencement. Another story
tells of the number of former Ore
gon students who are candidates in
the primary elections in May. An
article has been written on the fac
ulty members who are leaving this
University to accept positions in
other institutions.
W. L. Whittlesey', ’01, has sent
in two sketches on former days at
Oregon. One entitled “Students
Studying” showing old methods of
studying and the other, “On Your
Mark,” tells of early athletics, par
ticularly track.
The usual departments will ap
pear, edited by Dick Syring; cam
pus notes, news of the classes, and
“The Family Mail-Box” which
prints parts of letters received from
former Oregon students.
Dean Walker Attends
Eastern Conference
Dean and Mrs. H. Walker left
last night to attend the National
Conference for the Deans of Men
which will be held at the University
of Minnesota, Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday of this week.
After the conference they will
spend a few days visiting the Uni
versities of the north central states
before they return. They expect
to return in about two weeks.

FOR many years, thinkers who watch
mechanical progress with a friendly
eye have asserted that the goal of ma
chinery is to set mankind free from
routine tasks, to give him time and oppor
tunity for those tasks of the mind forwhich
evolution has particularly fitted him.
In two of our most important indus
tries there have been recent develop
ments which may be truthfully said to
have ushered in a new epoch. The dial
telephone system, after years of experi
ment, has proved itself a practical and
efficient servant of man. And the Otis
Signal Control Elevator, also a product
of untiring effort arid experiment, marks
a revolutionary step forward.
The transportation system of a modern
building requires fewer elevators of this
new type, than were heretofore required
of other types. Control is entirely auto
matic, the car being operated by the
pressing of car or hall button.
This type of control automatically
brings the elevator to a stop within an
exactness of level which eliminates the
delays of readjustment experienced under
the old system, and also automatically
opens the doors as the car stops. This
accuracy of landing greatly eliminates
the possibility of accident.
In view of these epoch-making de
velopments in the telephone and ele
vator industries, it is most appropriate
that the four new monumental telephone
buildings stretching across the country,
and located in New York, Cleveland,
St. Louis and San Francisco, should be
equipped with the latest type of Otis
Signal Control Elevators.
