If Should be Done,—But How? <<QTUDENT help in solving edu . £5 cational problems is sometimes productive, frequently interesting and always thought-provoking,” •ays an editorial in the Portland Oregonian. “The last-named qual ity is peculiarly present in the find ings of the undergraduate commit tee which for a year or more has been trying to devise means of stimulating intellectual activity on the campus of the state university at Eugene.” Concentrating its attention on the classification of the students into three groups—pupils, studiers and students—the Oregonian con cludes that one of the major protp lems of the university lies in rid ding itself of the pupils,—those who come to the university simply to acquire tho college label. Says our Portland contemporary: “It is coming to be agreed, even among the most zealous advocates of public higher education, that tho state has no moral obligation mere ly to entertain, amuso or bestow so called culture on youths who hold the privilege in disesteem, and who improbably ever will return an ade quate quid pro quo.” Then agreeing that limitation of enrollment, would be a boon for tho university, and assuming that this is one of the committee’s aims, the Oregonian asks how the plan can bo made to work. The stumbling block is, of course, our American doctrine of democracy in education. Agreeing with the Oregonian that the University would bo far better off without the numerous pupils, wo confess seeing no wav of reconcil ing ambitious parents of unambit ious children to the belief that edu cation is a privilege. That is just why, contrary to the Oregonian’s interpretation, tho student commit tee is not advocating as an immed iate part of its program the limita tion of enrollment. Wo are happy none the less that tho Oregonian lias given utterance to so heretical a belief as limitation of educational advantages. The undergraduate committee pointed ent the inconsistency that is mani fest in university administration throughout the country. It is that in tho light of the inadequacy of tho theory of democracy in applica tion to national government, it should be thought applicable indis criminately to anything whatever, especially universities. With little prospect of success in any effort to alter the public mind, the committee simply pointed out the desirability of selecting students, while necessarily accepting the sit uation, at least in part. Its atten tion is concentrated rather on changes that may be made within the present system. Its aim is to shift some of the attention that is now spent on the pupil and the studier to the student, so that those who wish to do real work and who have a genuine interest in educa tion may be suffered to achieve their ends. This would be more easily pos sible, wo agree, if the pupil were removed. But the Oregonian, as a barometer of public opinion, is bet ter qualified than we are to answer its own question: “How shall it be done?” A Valid Suggestion For Working Students (Daily Kansan) UNDULY low wages for hours of labor, which because of their length constitute a serious handicap to a full and efficient univorsity life, present a problem which stu dent workers must sooner or later face. According to the employment bu reau of the Y. M. C. A. thcro are al most twice as many applicants for jobs as there are jobs to bo filled. This makes it possible for local em ployers to pay miserably low wages, and tho students can’t protest for it is imperative that many work, even if underpaid, if they are to remain in college. No immediate solution for this cir cumstance is seen. Yet it is obvious that, with the oversupply of avail able labor, individual bargaining will 1h> of no avail. Higher wages, which would make it unnecessary for students to work long hours and hence permit more to bo employed, can be obtained only through con certed action on the part of student workers—which means a student ! labor union. It. is unessential that the organiza tion be called a union, but. that is what it must be. The difficulty is to convince student workers that they must organize. The unignor ablc fact stands out that they are inherently a part, of a bourgeoisie which considers labor menial, and labor organizations symptomaniac of bolshevism. Will they, supposedly educated, be able to break away from class preju dices when it is to their common good ? German Universities Have No Fraternities, Deans or Dormitories “There are no organized sports in Gorman universities, so the students themselves have iui so-called college spirit,” said I)r F. K. Schmidt, head of the department of Germanic languages and literature in an in terview on German universities re cently. “However, they have regu lar gymnastics, and students oeea -aionally indulge in dueling.” “There are no dormitories or fra ternity buildings in which students can live and the students rent rooms wherever they ear, no dean of men or dean of women to interfere, be cause they have neither. They can do as they please, and are supposed to be mature mentally and physical ly. Many feel lost without the guidance of instructors, but the university feels no responsibility whatsoever, except that they attend lectures. ’ ’ “They do, however, have a few similar societies as the American nuiversities do, but these bear Lat in names instead of Greek. ” “Before college there are nine years of preparation in lion-coedu cational school®, although the col leges are coeducational. No student can on tor a university without bo inn nble to read and talk three lan guages. There are many advantages in thi' line of concerts, and reduced rates are given especially for the benefit of the students." Fund (Continued from pope one) students had to do in the hop yards brought a reply and a check for six dollars, starting the fund that has ! now swelled to over $1(0. This six | dollars was loaned three times dur ing fee payment week, the first bor 1 rower being the president of hte Y. M. O. A. The old Y. fund for books ; was added to it, making it $10.41. Contributions from different sources : soon brought the sum to ever $50, ‘ the amount fixed as a minimum. In ! the first year and a half there were | nearly seventy loans made, accord ing to Mrs. Donnelly. Additions have been made in num i erous different ways. Kleven dollars came from selling Oalapooya water; two dollars was found in the Hut, and the owner never discovered; men who had borrowed money and were grateful for that aid contribut ed over five dollars; the Ministerial association gave their Thanksgiving TkSEVEN . SEERS OH WHERE ARE THE GIRLS LIKE THEY HAD WHEN DAD WAS A BOY? • • • Dr. Reinhardt, president of Mills College, who will be on the campus this week end reminds me of a story that is told of her. One day she was forced to call the girls together and give them a severe lecture on a mat ter of conduct. It was quite a sol emn affair and very impressive. When she had finished she backed to the rear of the platform to take her seat, but the chair had been removed and she went with a thud to the floor. All of us who have met Dr. Reinhardt can easily under stand, however, why no one laughed. * » * The girl on. the campus named Harrah should be able to root for herself. / * * * When your friends begin treat ing you especially nice about this time of the year you had better be on your guard.

Social Swim at the Woman’s building tonight at 7:30. All stu dents and faculty invited. Assembly (Continued from page one) Italy today in the name of Mus solini and the Black Shirts. Equality of Sex Noted A notable thing about the Italian people is that the women are on an equal basis with the men. They study and pursue intellectual sub jects together. It is only in the peasant classes that there is in equality. This idea is also carried out at the aquarium, he said. Ida Hyde, the leader of an American, (group which established an endowment fund for a table for American wom en at the aquarium, received a let ter from Anton Dohm, the original founder of the station, in which he expressed his desire that the ad vantages of the aquarium be giv en to women for research study as well as to the men. Dr. Moore Urges Study At the opening of his lecture, Dr. Moore urged students of the Uni versity of Oregon to spend more time in study and research for its own sake. “Believe in yourselves,” he said. “The opportunities at Ore gon are excellent. There are in the library the records of the learn ing of ages ready for use.” Students are too apt to spend time on sidelines and neglect the studies for which they came to college. Too many spend time working to pay college expenses when it is not ab solutely necessary, he said. At the opening of the morning’s program Janet Pearce, sophomore, sang two soprano numbers, “Caris sina” by Arthur Penn, and “Second Minuet” by Befly. She was accom panied by Janet Chalmers, music major. John Straub, dean emeritus of men, introduced the speaker, and the Reverend Bruce J. Giffen, Univer sity student pastor, gave the invo cation.
