The Student Looks *At Education SOME there are, no doubt, who will label the suggestions of the National Student Federation incon sequential, smug, conservative or radical, according to the degree and -color of personal bias. But there are «noTiy others who will find some cheer in the proceedings of the representatives of 250 American col leges and universities. These students aired their views -on education, heard the words (nearly all wise) of such education al trail-blazers as Alexander Meik lejohn, Clarence Cook Little, Ste phen Duggan and Henry Noble Mac Cracken, and then offered sugges tions for making education the af fair of the students. This was no booster session calling for “cul ture or bust. ’ ’ There is hope in the attitude of the students, who showed a well established will to make the col leges “communities of learning’1 rather than trade schools. The task, is not to be an easy one It is difficult to find the propel material, either in students or teach era. As Dr. Meiklejohn pointed out, “It’s hard to teach literature to children from homes where no good book is read, or philosophy in a so ciety with no taste for speculation.’1 The teachers are made of the same material as the students. To Meiklojohn, too much time is spent by universities in deciding what to do with their money and not enough in the all-important task of finding teachers, giost of whom “have been taught technical scholarship, and not liberal understanding.” Nevertheless, the recommenda tions of the committees showed that there are students with some con ception, perhaps a bit vague, of the evils of the present system, and gome appreciation of the means whereby the present system of edu cation can be—must be—changed. The committee on curriculum of fered the view that the colleges must become “distinctly cultural and intellectual, taking greater pains to stimulate intellectual curi osity.” Student participation in this policy was urged by study of curricular problems and recommen dations for changes, such as has been done by committees at Har vard, Dartmouth, Oregon, Bowdoin, Kansas and Wesleyan. Professionalism in athletics was touched upon in suggestions that coaches be paid no more than pro fessors, commercialized post-season games be abolished, eligibility rules be enforced absolutely, and alumni influence be replaced by making the athletic director responsible only to the president and regents of the universities. “Athletics for all” was suggested as a rational pro gram. Orientation courses that enable the student to gain a unified view of knowledge were heartily support ed. The tutorial system, which fos ters contact between teacher and student, was also favored. If the federation has any influence there will be no suppression of good teachers. Evidently there is no fear of efforts to suppress the others. Conflicting views brought about a fight on the matter of student government, with a good deal of support evidenced for the proposals that more faculty-student commit tees consider both matters of stu dent government and faculty ad ministration, especially in curricu lar changes. Honor systems were recommended, though there exists the great prob lem of “creating the spirit of honor.” How long these ideas will live after the convention depends alto gether on how sincere were the representatives of the 250 institu tions, and those who sent them to the conference. It will take more than reports of the proceedings in college newspapers to sow in the undergraduate consciousness the seeds of educational revolt. The plan is ambitious and not without fault. But with the New Student we offer up hallelujah, be cause “heretofore student govern ments have never got beneath the coat buttons of the stuffed gentle man called education.” Separating Sheep From Goats T>LESSEE as we are at Orogon I with an altogether arbitrary grading system and a “scandal | sheet” that defeats its supposed purpose by focusing attention on ! grades rather than accomplishment, [ and hardly serves as an accurate measure of ability and work, it is interesting to find that the sheep ] and the goats are now being sepa rated. The current issue of the Univer sity News Bulletin, ns the grade register is officially known, ingen iously lists the “honor students” separate and apart from the mass, so that the singular ability of those who come within the shifting cir cle may be better appreciated. Now there is something for which to work. Real recognition, genuine ly official, is at last the reward of virtue. The sheep may gambol undisturbed, save by the envious glances of the goats. It is presumed, of course, that the inventors of the new education I al Bradstreet appreciated the very ! important fact that the new sheep who received all II’s in 14 hours of work is perhaps no better a stu dent (as judged by the “scandal sheet'’ method) than the goat who carried IS hours of work and receiv ed 15 hours of I and II and three hours of III which might easily have been a II in another instruc tor’s class. Perhaps this is the first step in the establishment of an intellec tual aristocracy. Dean Allen (Continued from page one) that undergraduate study would connect with the right kind of grad uate work. The senior year in moat institutions at present, he insisted, is the poorest organized in the whole curriculum. The material for the dean’s paper was a description of the work that has grown up in hia senior Editing class. In New York, Dean Alien met Kenneth Youel, former editor of the Emerald, who is working on the Brooklyn “Eagle”; .1. Frederick Thorne, formerly of the school of business administration, who is now free lancing in New York; Allen Eaton, formerly if the University •f Oregon faculty, who is v orking for the Russell Sage Foundation; aad, at the Eaton home, Edgar Boh'man, who was on the campus I last year, and who is now assistant ! to a New York theatrical ^producer. !

Sports (Continued from page one) Northwest champions. The season was especially successful due to the defeat of Oregon’s traditional ri vals, the Oregon Aggies, three out of four starts. The University of W ashington Huskies were beaten in one of the four scheduled games. Gridders Look Better The lemon-yellow grid team, mak ing its first appearance under Coach McEwan, while not setting the world on fire, showed enough to warrant high hopes for the future. A new style of play was installed, and many new men were used. In the first preliminary game Wil lamette university .was crushed 44 to 0, but the varsity failed to show a sustained offensive. This was forcefully borne out the next Sat urday when Pacific held the Web footers to a scoreless tie. Oregon’s lone conference victory came when the Golden Bears were downed in Berkeley, 21 to 13. In minor sports, Oregon won in but one endeavor—tennis. The rack etmen, under Coach Ed Abercrom bie, won every meet but their final one against Washington at Seattle, Theaters MCDONALD: Last day: “The ireat Deception,” with Aileen ’ringle and Ben Lyon, in a drama f love and mystery, in which a andsome secret service lieutenant early loses his head in losing his eart, while the fate of millions lay i his hand; Merry-Macks in “Hello 27,” a New Year musical mirth uake; Mu A and Jeff cartoon, Short Shots” of unusual events and nternational news weekly; Frank Alexander’s musical accompaniments n the super-organ.

Electric light, heat, and transportation have also contributed their part to the freeing of men. These are America’s slaves. Through their service American workers do moro, earn more, and produce quality ^ goods at lower cost than any where else in the world. o° The college-trained man is the first to grasp these facts which raise man froiji a mere source of physical power to be a director of power, thus realizing the true economic value of the human mind. 201-57DH GENERAL ELECTRIC OENBRAL ELECTRIC COMPANY CHENECTADY NEW i O R K
