THE college must find a pur pose, common to all its mem bers, accepted by all its mem bers, before every member can be set free to further that pur pose in his own way.—Alexander Meiklejohn. Bridging the Gap; A Junior College PROGRESS toward an essential unit in any plan which might now be suggested for the rehabili tation of the University has been made in the recommendation of the faculty colloquium for the estab lishment of a. junior college. The plan as presented offers a ■necessary mean,s of sifting the reg istrants, thereby enabling the Uni versity proper to offer work of gen uine higher-educational caliber. This virtue of the system, it will be observed, is stressed in the final report of the indopeudnt under graduate committee, as a step to wards a realization of its general honors school program. The junior college must neees s rily be regarded ns a complete unit in the educational system. It must take the place of an advanced high school as well as a college pre paratory. Our high* schools, unfor tunately, are notoriously lacking in giving their students, satisfactory training for anything akin to gen uine university work. The gap be tween high school and college is broad and deep. The junior college must bridge the gap by rounding out the high scho.ol course and prepare the student for advanced wo.rk by giving him an organized idea of the aims and .methods of a univer sity, and a comprehensive ami in telligent view of the fields of learn ing. At present the first two years of university instruction consist mainly of completion of high school training. The junior college, as au educa tional unit in itself, might serve adequately as a means of satisfy ing those persons whose quest for learning encompasses no more than a rounding out of the high school education, with a taste of the cul tural. These persons, who now feel somehow obliged to continue for four years, to no advantage for themselves, and to the detriment of others capable and desirous of high er education, might through tlio jun ior college plan be satisfied to bring their educational careers to a close when they had best be ended. A certificate might be granted them, and everything done to make it plain that there is no reflection on the person who stops his schooling at the end of the two junior col lege years. A complete course would ^iave been covered, and the junior college established as a logical stop ping place. The way would then be cleared for genuine university-standard work on the part of those who de sired to continue and who had shown themselves capable of so do ing. These persons would be the better able" to go on by virtue of the junior college training. It nfight al?o "be possible, as a fur<ther» part of the sifting process, to permit those who come „to college only for intensive professional work and none of the cultural accoutre ments to spend the two junior col lege years in professional training, thereby saving themselves the neces sity of wandering through four years of studies that in the main hold no interest for them. Unquestionably, the junior college should not bo necessary,—would not be, if the high schools adequately prepared their students for college. There is indeed the danger that in termediate stops will simply mean lowering the standard of the last two college years. But under the circumstances tho risk is not great. At worst our1 standard would not be made appreciably lower than it is at present, A Worthy Addition to The Discussion Groups THE proposed faculty-student foreign relations club, now in the0 process of organization, has “splendid possibilities. As an addition to the valuable campus cdrscussion groups,” so re gretably few in number0 it will con cern itself with an interesting Held that is nowoentirely neglected. In ternational relations offer, especial ly 110W9 opportunities for unlimited timely and valuable discussion that should come within the students’ range of interests. „ The club has already outlined an interesting program and seems to be intent upon°making itself worth while. Happily, it shows no signs of becoming" “another free-for-all activity.” The student, chairman, Lewis Beeson, is eminently lifted, by virtue of his knowledge of world politics, to lead the group. Compet ent faculty participation is likewise assured. The international relations club gives promise of adequately tilling an educational need.

When the governor of a state on the first day of the week declares his posi tion on certain fundamental prob-; lems, and on the third or fourth day I is confronted with a crisis and an-1 nounccs a reversal of policy, the; spirit of the day and ago is shown. I Wo see how necessary it is that we keep in touch with the pulse beat of affairs,” he said. A Miracle Divulged In connection with his account; of the present age of miracles ini change and progress Mr. Vining re-' counted tin episode which occurred j in a waiting line at the ticket office in San Francisco when the play, j “The Miracle,” was being present ed. There were two gentlemen there, said Mr. Vining, one was of Scotch descent and the other was of Hebraic descent. After considerable time bad elap sed, the Sc'hot china n reached the ticket box and said, “I would like two tickets, please. * * The agent handed him the tickets and said, "$4.40, please.’’ The Scotchnmn laid down a five dollar bill and started to walk away without taking his change; and the agent called to him to wait for the money. The Scotchman replied, "Nao matter, it’s nae concern.’’ dust then the Hebraic man start ed to go away through the crowd and the ticket agent asked hint, if he did not desire to get a ticket to the "Miracle,’’ after waiting all that time. The Hebraic man replied, "Mir acle! 1 ’ve just seen the biggest mir acle the world has ever known.’’ I-et it be with feeling that we will work and dream, building till the day of the judgment book un folds, ’till the stars of our des tinies grow cold." At the opening of the session l'eau bobbins, of the School of Business Administration introduced the speaker as a man of action, a teacher and a dreamer, a man whom the Pacific coast is fortunate to have. Robert McKnight sang two vocal selections. Hr. John Straub, emeritus dean of non, presided and the Reverend i Bruce Giffen gave the invocation, i Tk SEVEN I AM doing MY BIT this WEEK END to help PRESIDENT HALL convince THE LEGISLATURE that WE NEED a new INFIRMARY OR HOSPITAL OR WHATEVER YOU wish TO CALL the place WHERE SICK students ARE ALWAYS turned AWAY BECAUSE of THE LACK of FACILITIES AND THE SUCH. NO I am not GOING TO SALEM TO appear BEFORE ANY board OR ANYTHING like THAT I am going TO LIE here in BED AND watch the CLOCK TO see when TO TAKE the six DIFFERENT KINDS of PILLS THAT Dr. ROMIG GAVE me today.

According to recent es timates, there is only .4 of a bed to every hundred students. That means that each individual has the right to only .004 of a bed. Say each bed is 6y2 feet long by 3 feet wide, a total of 19l/2 square feet. Four thousandths of that, reduced to inches is a kicking space of about 3V2 by 3y2. not counting pillow room. Mr. Luy is probably paying for his sins. • * * * “If your wife drinks, liq- * * uor.’’ 1 »•#*#«****# • * » Dick Reed puts his reservation in for tlie grill dance Saturday— “Table near KITCHEN.” Dick must want his flood right hot from ye good ol ’ range.

Donned wintery rainment, and dragged ye rain cloak and overshoes from cedar lined chest. Executed exercises and so to breakfast. Met gang from other side of hall attired in spring outfit of divers eojprs. Glanced to westward sun brightly shining and without further word dashed myself up stairs, steps at a pair. Looked like little budding flower in ve white sweater and sich—I take my self to eight o’clocks to find door locked—so curse right wrathfully -home to bed to sleep for rest of lay.” The Women’s League probably would have had more customers if it had held the Dime Crawl at the infirmary last night. At least the Phi Delts and Phi Psi’s would have been there. ****** ***** FAMOUS LAST WORDS * * “That’s good enough for * * the Seers.” * Til K OTHER SICK SEERS Fortnightly Club Hears Paper on China Read Papers on Chinese antique bronzes were read by Mrs. 0.
