“O” Swimmers Second Best In Aggie Meet All Races Close; Result In Doubt Until Next To Last Event Swimmers Preparing For Club Meet Next Not the least bit disheartened by a 41-27 defeat at the hands of the O. A. C. swimming team, the Ore gon varsity swimmers are waiting for a chance to redeem themselves in the return meet to be held in the local pool February 26. In spite of the wide margin of victory for the Aglgies indicated by the score, the meet was close from start to finish and was only settled by the 440 yard event, the next to last on ihe program. Oregon was at one time in the lead by a 23 to 22 score when the meet, was more than half over. Fail ure of two or three varsity swim mers to come up to their usual per formance accounted for the defeat, and indications are that Oregon’s chances in the return meet will be at least as good as the Beavers’. O. A. C. Wins First Event The first event, the 50 yard free style, was won by Orville Peterson, the O. A. C. flash, in the phenom enal time of 24 3-5 seconds. Mark uson, O. A. C., was second with Boggs of Oregon third. Sheridan got a poor start and failed to place. Kier, of Oregon, sprang a sur prise in the 150 yard backstroke when he outdistanced both Wern mark of the Aggies, who took sec ond, and Fletcher of Oregon, who was slated to win the event. The finish was almost a dead beat be tween the three. Time, 2 minutes, 11 4-5 seconds. Hover of O. A. C. came in first in the 220 with McCook and Greu Tich of Oregon trailing. The time was 2 minutes and 48 seconds. Jonrdan of O. A. C. surprised both himself and his teammates by winning the dives, with Byerley and Davis of Oregon second and third. Jonrdan was displaying the best form he has ever shown while both Davis and Byerley were somewhat off form. “Wig” Fletcher Wins The 220 yard breaststroke fur nished another surprise when “Wig” Fletcher of Oregon nosed out his teammate, Smith, and Savory, the Beaver boy with the huge hands. Tho time of 3:05 was slow. Smith, on tho strength of his past per formances, should have won the race easily. Peterson of the Aggies beat Mc Cook of the lemon yellow and Mark uson, bis teammate, in the 100 to set a new state record of 57 3-5 seconds. At this point O. A. C. was leading Oregon by 28 points to 27. In the 440 yard event which fol lowed, Itadke and Hover of O. A. C. led Reid of Oregon to the barrier in the slow time of 0:25. Reid has repeatedly beaten this time in prac tice. Meet Ends With Relay The relay, which concluded tho meet, was conceded to O. A. C. but turned out to be much closer than was expected. Peterson of the Ag gies reached the finish line a scant three feet ahead of Boggs. The time was one minute, 0 2-5 seconds. The meet was close from start to finish, every event producing its ex citing moments, and had not a few Oregon men been oft' form in their races, the lemon “O” might have brought home a victory. Multnomah dub will furnish op position for the local team in the Woman’s building pool Saturday at 7:00 p. m. The early hour was se lected so that the meet will be com pleted in time for spectators to wit ness the basketball game with Mon ttnna immediately afterwards. V. of W. Has Mew Rule For Traffic Violators TNI V I'KSITY OF WASHING TON, .Ian. 28—(PIP)—-With the gionalty of live hours additional ■credit facing each violator of cam pus traffic regulations, accidents on Xhe campus have l>con reduced to the safest point in University his tory. An average of only four or five students daily are being appro trended for infringements of regu lations. The curbing of traffic ac cidents is handled through the Uni versity Marshall’s office with the assistance of the dean of men in giassing penalties. First violations sire generally excused. University students are not allowed to drive «r be driver, or to park on the cam jms from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m. ABILITY —to study —to work —to succeed Depends on your Physical Fit ness.

DOOLEY, professor in the department, of mopol ogy at Johnson hall, is very fond of dogs—in moderation. Mr. Dooley is, however, a temperate man and it is his conviction that there can be too much of even a good thing. “Dogs as dogs,” says Mr. Dooley, “are very fine; but when they desert the rich black mud of the average Eu gene gutter for the nice polished floors of my Administration building without even the for mality of wiping tlreir feet, I naturally objects. And that isn’t all. The dog census on this cam pus is increasing. I don’t want to be finicky or anything, but there always seems to be some animal gettin’ tangled up in the swingin’ doors. “Why just the other day, one of these bulldogs gets into the lobby. I waves riy arms and says ‘shoo! ’ when up comes some fellow and says, ‘That dog be longs to me and he goes where I go!’ “ ‘Gwan! ’ I says, ‘there aren’t no dogs allowed around here but me.’ But I didn’t have the heart to kick him out.” High School Students Get Practical Training As Office Assistants The seven girls of the class in of fice training at University high school are being given practical training instead of their class work, and are assisting Miss Ida May Pope with her work as secretary of the appointment bureau in the Uni versity School of Education. They also do the work of the high school office. A complete change is being m,ade in the filing system of the appoint ment bureau, and as over fifty registration blanks have already been received and approximately .175 are expected, a great deal of work must be done by the bureau. The girls will later help with the typing of the blanks. Five sets are compiled in the office for each student so that copies will be avail able for schools applying for teach ers. These sets include recommenda tions, amount of preparation and experience, a photograph, and all information necessary for placing a University graduate in a teach ing position. Calls are already com ing into the office for teachers for next year. California Ball Team Will Invade Orient UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkeley,—Eighteen members of the University of California baseball team including Coach Carl Zamlocli and a senior manager, were author ized by the executive committee of the A. S. U, C. at a meeting last night to make a trip to Japan and the Hawaiian Islands this summer. They will leave San Francisco on May 10 and start their return trip from Tolcio on June 20. About 12 games will be played by the team during this time. According to a wire received by W. IV. Monahan, graduate manager of the A. S. U. C., all expenses of the trip have been guaranteed. None of the she movie stars are college graduates, according to a screen editor in Detroit. But Jack Mulhall, Conrad Nagle, (Richard Barthelmess, Douglas MacLean, Earl Williams, Lew Cody, Douglas Fair banks, Norman Kerry, Eugene O’ Brien, Kenneth Harlan, Harry Car ey, Monte Blue, Francis X. Bush- , man, and Milton Sills have been exposed to dirty corduroys and high- i er learning. Which proves, if anything, says the C. S. C. Trojan, that a college man will make a monkey of himself if given a chance, and that a wom an can do it without an education. Old Established Service Brings Greatest Satisfaction Eugene Steam Laundry Phone 123 Men Needed for Football Squad Says McEwan New System Tried Out in Practice; Hodgen Is Fast Guard “More men out!” is the cry of Captain John J. McEwan. “The en tire turnout is not over 35, prov ing that many men of football abil ity have not yet reported for prac tice. I want all of them to draw uniforms and report at once.” A snappy drill on play formations filled the practice hour last night. Three full squads worked out under McEwan, and his two coaching as sistants, Gene Vidal and Bob Mautz. Some time was also spent on punt ing practice, but the new backfield formation which the team will use next fall, since McEwan has dis carded the shift, received most of the coach’s attention. Another feature of the new sys tem is the use of guards as running interference on almost every play, clearing the way of the ball carrier on off-tackle and end runs, as well acting as (protection on forward passes. Guards fast on their feet with sufficient weight to be of value as interferers are the qualities neces sary in this style of play. Beryl Hodgen, captain, is exceptionally well fitted for this, due to his bnild and previous experience as a half back. Many of the men who will un doubtedly be first-stringers next fall are not out at the present time, and McEwan wishes all others who have jhad football experience to turn out now, which he states will be to their advantage by learning the style of play this term and be of great value on the squad next' fall. Committee (Continued from page one) system and the interests of the pu pil demand that he now skim Keats. He becomes interested in Keats, is required to write another perfunc tory paper and drops Shelley entire ly. By following his personal im pulse to .Plato he would have been in the way of laying a foundation for a real understanding of both Shelley and Keats. The student is frustrated. The pupil and the s>c tem are satisfied. Similar combinations of system tyranny might be multiplied to vol umes, but .the three instances suf fice. Freedom to the student would have obviated the mis-edueation in each instance. A Duality in The Existant Plan In casting around in the present system in the hope of finding serv iceable elements which might be dis. tilled out of the general dilution the committee came upon the follow ing obvious but apparently unno ticed duality in the general educa tive scheme: It found that the Uni versity does actually follow a dis tinctly different theory in its men tal educational system on the one hand, and its physical education sys tem on the other. The first has been presented. The second, the physical education system, operates as fol lows: Registrants are divided into groups on a basis of physical capa city in such a way as corresponds strikingly with the intellectual di visions which this report advocates. First, there are the physically flab by or misfit. They are withheld Spring Hats and Caps are Here “Marathon'’ Men’s Hats [EJPISinlMSffi “The Cen tury-” Har mon i z i n g silk bands.

They cor respond to the lowest grade of pu pil in the academic groups. The lat ter is of course not withheld but is thrown into the blanket machin ery. Next in the physical education de partment comes the large average class. Its members attend regular classes and are carefully disciplined in prescribed courses of exercises. The counterpart here is the average pupil and studier. Finally come the select physical education men. They are the regis trants called “physical ability” men. Their physical superiority is determined by special examinations. Once they have won the classifi cation they are considered as of proved ability and disposition to discipline themselves, and within certain broad limits are permitted to carry on their own further educa tion. They have well defined privi leges, such as exemption from rout ine and class attendance. They are permitted to choose their own par ticular courses. Clearly the student is his intellectual complement. But for the latter there is no recognition, no freedom, and no sufferance. The sane physical education plan is carried still a step further. There is yet another division. It contains students who are markedly superior physically. They fall in the athlete class. They are accorded all the prerogatives and privileges of the P. A. men with the addition thiat they are specially ecouraged in their particular excellency—such as foot balling, running, jumping, etc.—and are bestowed with honors. The most excellent of the group are be-knight ed, so to speak, with the lofty or der of the “O.” Thus on the physical side we find an essentially sane and democratic system attending appropriately to its several classes with respect to the peculiar needs of each. It is top ped with a fine aristocracy of mus cle and bone and physical skill. Then on the intellectual side we find find a system which is blind to its classes and inattentive to _ ■nlMi'iMlilllBIIIHBHIMlillMimillllllBlIIIMlMllimillll I i 1 A Special Price 1 I of | | *5 J | To University stu- g g dents on a new | | type | I Klaxon I 1 Horn 1 i i ■ ' 1 fl Brakel & White | a I AUTO ELECTRICIANS 1 i I their needs. Instead of a system based on a sound democratic prin ciple of proper service to each of its considerable groups, majority and minority, we find a rigid, single sys tem. which is essentially communis tic. This committee believes that man is fundamentally unitary; that a theory of education, if it is basic, properly covers both physical and mental education. It believes that the theory followed by this Univer sity in its physical education is the correct one. It urges that its exten sion to the entire institution be seriously considered. The next section of this report will present a summary of several honor systems now in operation in some American universities, togeth er with specific recommendations for changes in the University of Oregon system.

The Uni versity of Oregon in seeking an oc casional man cannot bid against these other institutions on equal terms because it does not have a pension system. The University now, lie said, is in a position to get from $50,000 to $75,000 from the outside to help provide a pension fund for the old er professors on condition that the legislature will adopt a permanent pension policy. It cannot afford to lose this gift, nor to continue under the handicap of competing with in stitutions that offer to prospective faculty men terms that it cannot meet, President Hall concluded.
