Huskie Team
Strong, Says
OregonCoach
Veterans Make up Crew;
Tesreau and Gardner
Bright Lights
Games Here Monday,
Tuesday Afternoons
Varsity Nine Keeps Field
Hot in Hard Practice
t -
“Its the best team they’ve had
in recent years,” said Coach Billy
Beinhart in speaking of the Uni
versity of Washington Huskie base
ball team which forms opposition
for the Webfoot varsity next Mon
day and Tuesday afternoons at 3:30
o ’clock.
Coach Beinhart knows what he is
talking about. He has been a close
follower of Pacific coast intercolle
giate ball for a number of years.
Coach “Tubby” Graves of the
Huskies is bringing a crew of 15,
12 of whom are lettermen. This
year’s Washington team is composed
of veterans with the exception of
the short patch position. The JIus
kie’s two star slab artists, Elmer
Tesreau and Gardner, will work
against the varsity.
Beinhart is not letting any grass
grow under his feet. The varsity
nine have been working hard all
week. The same line up that de
feated the Oregon Aggies will greet
the Washingtonians Monday, with
the exception of the short patch
4k post. Fred West will be seen at this
position.
If Beinhart’s erew only win half
their games this season he will have
accomplished something over last
year—a team of hitters. In the
first encounter against the St. John
Bears the team hit a good clip.
Against the Pacific University Bad
gers they garnered 15 bingles and
* against the Huskies they drove out
10 swats each game. The Oregon
Aggie game was the most pleasing
of all. Batting against the best the
Aggies had to offer, Beinhart’s
batsmen drove out 11 safe hits.

Faculty Reform Necessary
to Add Life to New System
Student Committee Believes Teaching Positions Should Be Offered
Persons of Wide Experience from Other Institutions; ^Diversity
Of Interest and Larger Salaries Suggested as Inducements.
(Editor’s Note: Following is the
fifth and last report of a student
committee investigating the scho
lastic situation within the Universi
ty of Oregon.)
fJ'HE report of the committee has
thus far been concerned with an
examination of the educational pro
cess within the University from the
standpoint of changes in the person
nel of the student body and reform
of the present system of study. It
might appear on first thought that
the committee hopes through sheer
mechanical means to remedy the
University’s responsibility for the
situation outlined in the first arti
cle. On the contrary, the committee
recognizes that all the changes
which have been recommended will
prove absolutely ineffectual unless
supported and carried out by a com
petent faculty.
Respsonsibility Placed
On Professors
Higher entrance requirements and
a freshman college, as previously
explained, will succeed or fail ac
cording to the interest and ability
of the professors. No amount of
course correlation or strict aca
demic requirements will offset the
desultory influence of a third rate
instructor. Wide-spread honors sys
tems encouraging individual scho
lastic responsibility are futile un
less the professor is able to stimu
late within the student a vision of
this type of education. Therefore,
we deem it absolutely essential that
the faculty reform itself before ex
pecting any appreciable change in
attitude among the students.
The casual professor, if he doubts
the necessity of reform, may easily
determine how successfully he is
stimulating his students by simply
noticing to what extent his classes
are mentally participating in the
courses; whether they are stimula
ted to outside work, whether their
attention is merely gained for the
class hour, or whether they find
sleeping in class of more value than
the lecture. It has been our obser
vation that a lamentable per cen
tage of the faculty, if healthy in
trospection is employed, will find
their methods in heed of rigorous
reform.
Preference of Outside
Men on Faculty
In the consideration of faculty re
forms the committee recommends
measures designed to increase the
interest of both faculty and stu
dents in their work, and to bring
about a closer union of faculty and
student interests.
We regard as essential the lay
ing down of a policy that will lead
to the selection for teaching po
sitions of persons of wide interests,
and non-provincial in their views.
While existing conditions at the
University do not sustain charges
of inbreeding in the filling of fac
ulty positions, the committee recom
mends that such a system be strong
ly avoided. Rather than selecting
Oregon graduates for teaching posts,
we favor choosing persons from oth
er institutions who are likely to
support different viewpoints and
methods, and who will stimulate
new ideas. Persons selected from
within the University are too close
to their environment and are too
likely to reflect attitudes gained in
their undergraduate ’study here. We
feel this to be especially true in
the ease of graduate assistants who
lack experience elsewhere and whose
opinions are too often repetitions of
ideas of their former instructors.
There^ lies here.-the danger of. devel
oping uniform opinions and views
throughout a school or department,
and this we believe vitiating to
student interest and the develop
ment of a critical attitude.
It is the belief of the committee
that cognizance should be taken of
an instructor’s ability and interest,
in assigning functions. Certain in
structors have a recognized lean
ing toward exposition and interpre
tation in the field of known facts.
Snch men should be given the task
of presenting work to beginning
classes.
Larger Salaries to Induce
Better Instructors
Other professors, less interested
in the process of formal education,
who prefer original investigation
and re-examination of basic mate
rial, should be permitted to conduct
classes of advanced students.
After all, we must not lose sight
of the inspiration the single-hearted
teacher gives to Ms ■ students. It is
the chief function of**,-. Uniy.ei^sij-y
to educate its students, and any re
search is of only minor importance.
We cannot therefore emphasize too
strongly the high function of the in
strongly the high function of the
instructor who succeeds in arousing
the interest of his students.
The committe regards as a vital
necessity that the University pay
sufficient salary to its professori
at to be able to retain good instruc
tors. Small salaries have made it
impossible to retain good instruc
tors. Small salaries have made it
impossible for the University to
compete with other institutions who
have been drawing away many of
the most stimulating members of the
staff. We believe that sufficient
salaries should be paid to retain men
who have proved themselves cap
able, and that the University com
pete with other institutions in se
curing capable instructors.
Privileges and Security
Give Inspiration
Comparative isolation of the Uni
versity of Oregon from intellectual
centers of the country is itself a
handicap in drawing men of abili- j
ty, and those who do come here are
offered few inducements that keep
them. The committee believes that
in addition to paying adequate sal
aries, the University should offer
its faculty such privileges as means
of attending national and sectional
conferences dealing with their re- i
spective fields of study and should
grant sabbatical leave. These priv
ileges would benefit the University j
we believe in allowing the faculty
members to study further and to
broaden the scope of their work.
Another condition that makes for
lack of stability in the faculty is
the uncertainty of the tenure of of
nee. Under the present state of
affairs instructors, knowing that
they may at almost any time be
summarily dismissed without cause,
are quick to accept offers from oth
er schools where continuous employ
ment is more certain. No one knows
that his services may be terminated
at any time can carry on his work
with the desirable degree of inter
est. We recommend that faculty
members be shown as much consider
ation as athletic coaches in security
of tenure. We suggest that a year’s
notice be allowed before dismissal
and that a hearing on the charges
be given. '
Unless the University of Oregon
offers salaries, teaching advantages
and securtiy of tenure commensu
rate with those of other institutions,
we will never be able to procure
the services of first rate professors i
nor retain them in the face of of
fers from other schools. Recogni
tion of the important part played
by the faculty in putting into effect
and retaining any program of re
adjustment in the University makes
the considerations concerning them
of primary importance.
Essential in bringing about a;
closer union of faculty and student j
interests is more encouragement of!
student-faculty conferences by mem- J
bers of the teaching staff. While1
this point has been mentioned in !
previous articles, we believe it to [
be of sufficeient importance to war’-!
rant mention again. It is the com
mittee’s view that the small num
ber of conferences is due in part to
lack of encouragement of such meet-!
ings by faculty members. We ad- ■
mit, of course, that the students
themselves are largely to blame, but
we do hold that the teaching staff
can do much in changing the situ
ation and in making conferences
desirable and popular.
A previous article pointed out
that conferences his instructftrs
would give the student a clearer
idea of the purposes and scope of
his courses, consequently increas
ing his interest in the work and in
spiring original effort. It might
also be added that the personal con
tact itself is often of as great value
to the student as is the course.
In addition, we believe that there
is a distinct advantage in confer
ences to the'instructor who is inter
ested in keeping his course fresh
and interesting. Student criticisms
on the conduct of courses or the ma
terials offered, andfsuggestions for
‘effaces are likely .to be of much
value. They, more than the in
structor, are able toj guage the val
ue of the instruction and to deter
mine its. effect. Obviously, for the
mutual good of both faculty and
students, especially in large classes,
conferences are desirable and neces
sary.
Faculty Meetings Wanted
Open to Students
Another phase of the same topic
finds the committee subscribing to
the view that studqpts should be
admitted to faculty meetings. We
do not mean that anyone from the
student body at large who cares to
attend should be admitted but that
the privilege be extended to a few
selected students, representatives of
the entire group. In its discussion
of student problems and in making
changes affecting them, the faculty
could get no better idea of the stu
dent attitude and opinion than
through consulting the students
themselves. The best way for the
faculty to treat the subject is to
question representative students and
hear, their views, for after all it
is the right of the students to know
what is being legislated for them.
* * •
The committee realizes the limi
tations of a report of this nature,
and recognizes the possibilities of
impracticalities and fallacies. How
ever, we believe that criticism of
the existing conditions is waranted
and reform possible, and we hope
that this report may present a pos
sible basis for necessary changes.

Oregana Picture Sale
Continue Next Week
WAYNE LELAND, editor of
the Oregana has converted
liis office on the second flj.-r of
the journalism building into a
studio or rogues gallery, and duo
to the interest being shown in
the sale of yearbook pictures
which is being conducted there,
the exhibition will be continued
Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
Fraternity and sorority groups
are taking advantage of the op
portunity to get panels of the
entire organization for $4.00. The
honorary society panels ar3 go
ing for from one to two dollars,
and individual pictures sell for
as low as five cents.
There is another interesting
angle of this sale, says Wayne
Leland, that being the alto
gether proper and easy way for
numerous co-eds, and quite often
the eds, as well, to achieve the
pictures of the most elusive sec
ret sorrows. The pictures are
displayed in such a way as to
give the connoisseur ample
chance to gaze at length, and
select just what he wants. Ev
eryone should at least see the
rare collection, and pick up a
few bargains.
Coach Leslie and
Trackmen Get
Ready for Meet
Relay Carnival Billed for
Corvallis; Frosh Have
Big Advantage
The freshmen relay teams shove
off this morning for Corvallis, for
the big relay carnival with the O.
A. C. rooks this afternoon. This is
the first big event for the frosh
team this year and it should put
them on edge for the dual meet with
the University of Washington frosh
next Saturday. In their only meet
so far this year the yearlings have
shown that they have the makings
of a winning team. They defeated
Corvallis, Jefferson and Franklin
high schools in a four cornered meet
two weeks ago. Bill Hayward and
Spike Leslie are developing many
good runners on the frosh team and
the men will be ready to step in and
take the the place of some of the
veterans now on the varsity.
Spike Leslie will take 16 men
along to Corvallis but he has not
definitely decided on just what
events he will place them in. Those
making the trip are: Creod Ches
hire, Art Ord, Loye McGee, Alex
ander Scott, Joe Standard, Jack
Jones, Bill Haggerty, Bill Cruick
shank, Ernest McKitrick, Bunar
Kasmus, David Bauman, Harold Lit
tle, Ed Jensen, Bob Hill, John Nel
son, and George Burnell. The re
lays to be held will be the 440 yarl
relay, half mile, mile, 3 mile and
medley relays. The outcome of this
meet will give some of the dope on
just how the Babes will stick up
in their dual meet with the Aggie
rooks the 28th of this month. The
dual meet will be held on Hayward
field.
