A Friendly Critic
Reises Objections
THE Eugene Guard’s editorial,
reprinted in this column, is an
interesting and studied opinion, rep
resenting a view in some ^fays op
posite from that taken by the stu
dent committee.
The editor, however, seems to
have read into the report. certain
interpretations which are quite
foreign to the intent of the group.
It. is recognized that some of the
propositions in the report to which
he has. raised objections lend them
selves to popular misinterpretations.
In order to clarify the issue and
not in any spirit of controversy, the
committee intends to elaborate
"hoBe points in an early addition to
ts original report.
The essence of the Guard’s edi
torial follows:
A student committee at the Uni
versity of Oregon which quite
frankly declares itself self-con
stituted has just announced
through the Emerald, the excel
lent college daily, first results of
a detailed study in which it is
engaged of the “intellectual state
of the undergraduate body on this
rumpus.” Tho present survey con
stitutes a following out of a sim
ilar effort set under 'jiray last
year by another student commit
tee, whose findings when published
attracted nation-wide attention.
The basic, attitude of this com
mittee, as of the one last year, is
critical, both of the majority stu
dent outlook upon the college and
its opportunities and of the uni
versity system, which the commit
tee charges favors in its essential
composition and operation tho
least desirable of threo classes
of student registrants into which
the committee classifies tho stu- !
dent body.
The first, of these three classes
the committee denominates as stu
dents. It distinguishes a student
from the members of the other
two classes of registrants, which
together make up the body of non
students, and further classifies i
him as one who gives himself to
learning for its benefits, while a
non-student in university life is
one who lends himself to educa
tion for its profits. The registrant
of a second class is denominated
a studier.
The registrant of the third class
is denominated a pupil and is do- ,
fined us one whose purpose in at- I
tending college is merely by hook ■
or crook to win the label of “col
lege man.” lie is merely out to
get the marks that will give him
» degree. He is not concerned
with the benefits of learning, but
solely with the outward rewards j
of prescribed and enforced per- '
formanee in study. His attitude
towards what he is undergoing is
characterized as essentially that
of a pupil in public school.
After having thus completed its
tabor of classification of students
to its own satisfaction, the com
mittee proceeds to the conclusion
that the present university system
favors the pupil type of registrant
to the detriment of the student.
The commitfee thinks that in
socking a wa. of correction, the
tag farce comedy adaptation of the
John Kmerson-Anita Loos’ hilarious
stage success, with Edward Horton,
Virginia Lee Corbin, Otis Harlan,
fundamental problem is "one of
providing the student with time,
freedom and indulgence to pursue
a more or less independent, but
still directed education.”
A common trait with youth is
that it chafes under restraint and
direction and is inclined to seek
more freedom than is good for it.
And direction that seems to youth
to be onerous is not always so in
the view of maturer and therefore
sounder judgment. The report
seems to go further towards sub
stantiating the contention that
the present system makes it pos
sible for the majority among the
student body to accomplish their
purposes in the university than it
does towards showing that the
superior minority are hampered
by that system. In fact there is
no showing that the minority is
so hampered. Certainly the re
straints of the scholastic require
ments and marking system do not
operate to prevent super-intel
lectual offorts by those who de
sire to exert them. The aim of a
state university is to furnish fa
cilities to all qualified applicants.
A state university is not and never
can be maintained for the benefit
of super-intellectuals. And it is
no discredit to a student that he
educates himself with the purpose
of applying his education to prac
tical after-life.
Nevertheless, the first report of
the present student committee
shows much of considered thought
and logical deliberation, and it
constitutes a valuable contribu
tion, as well as one highly inter
esting. By the way, why are
women students not represented
on the committee?
Hasty and Faulty
S penalization
(Minnesota Daily)
EARLY specialization by the col
lege man is, it seems to us, be
ing worshipped far beyond its des
erts. It is encouraging to discover
that President Rightmire of Ohio
State has attempted to dissuade the
students of this institution from
choosing their vocations until they
have had at least two years of gen
eral collegiate work.
One of the lirst questions asked of
a college man is “What are you
specializing in?” Sometimes this
query is a simple matter of polite
interest; too often it is the prelude
to advice to select, a vocation as
soon ns possible and commence stu
dying for it.
The business or professional man,
his own selection far behind him,
remembers merely that he spent
much time with study courses he
apparently makes no use of now. Ho
forgets the perplexity of the situa
tion which faced him as it faces
the undecided student he now ad
vises.
If a college man is firmly decided
upon the branch of work he mil
take up, specialization from matric
ulation onward is exported. The
vast majority are not so situated.
The matter is to them a very grave
and ponderous problem; their whole
happiness and success may depend
upon it. To advise a student to
settle that problem definitely before
he has fairly found himself, before
he has ascertained with some degree
of certainty his own tastes and tal
ents, is to advise unwisely if not
foolishly.
College is expected to do many
things for college students. Cer
tainly it ought to serve first and
foremost as a vehicle of orientation.

At seven thirty the crowd began
to gather in the huge igloo. The
floor was in excellent condition, the
ice having been thoroughly polish
ed.
Nell of Sharkfcooth Shoal was
leading yells and Pan MeGrew was
in the stands when the team from
the Aluetian Isles eauie on the
floor. Both teams warmed up. The
icicles were swept off. The wistle
blew and an instant later the snow
ball was in action.
Suddenly the igloo was thrown in
to confusion. Some one sitting un
der the bleachers had lit a cigar
ette and melted a support, causing
the collapse of that entire section.

Wadsworth’s Powerful, Inspiring Voice
—clear, expressive, it has the quality
which creates confidence
NEW YORK’S Senior Senator, noted fqr a speaking
voice of rare impressiveness, safeguards his throat con
stantly, so as to be ever ready for a debate or a speech. His
favorite cigarettes are Lucky Strikes, both for greater pleas
ure and throat protection.
Lucky Strikes have become the favorites of men whose
priceless voices thrill their audiences, as they have w’ith the
millions because, first, they afford greater enjoyment and
second, they are certain not to irritate even the most sensi
tive throat.
The world’s finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, prop
erly aged, perfectly blended, give them their richer flavor.
But in addition, a costly extra process—toasting for 45
minutes—develops the hidden flavors of the choicest to
baccos and at the same time removes all “bite” and harshness.
Smoke Lucky Strikes. They give added pleasure—you’ll
like them.
