IN A world, confessedly so op ulent in what is old, the work, even of genius, must necessarily consist very much in criticism.— Walter Pater. Summum Cum Laude BETTER news or more important never came out of a faculty meeting than that which last night announced the adoption of the jun ior college and honors college pro posals. The faculty, in giving its assent to plans that will eventually mean almost complete reconstruction of the University’s educational sys tem, has placed the institution in a position to do its work far better than has heretofore been possible. Immediate institution of all details of the plans offered by the collo quium and special committees can not be expected. Neither must it be assumed that the machinery will work smoothly at once. Administra tive details will need adjustment ! and experimentation will be neces- [ sary before the hopes of the sup- j porters of the measures may he fully | Tealiaed, All this will take time, but tho first and most important step has been taken, and we are optimis tic enough to believe that the whole plan will eventually be perfected. Under the new arrangements, which are more fully explained in the news columns of the Emerald, the registrants will ho divided so as to make it possible for those of ' serious intent to do genuine work without the hindrance of their fel lows whoso interest in attending the University is purely superficial. This latter group will he discour aged from going on beyond tho first two junior college years, which will be devoted to work in the liberal arts and a rounding out of the high school education. Those who remain will lie grant ed every opportunity to follow their own educational bent within broad ly-defined limits, making routine matters of least importance and real university work the major concern. The superior student especially will benefit by being permitted to pretty much organize his own education through a greater amount of free dom than is now possible. The whole system is intended to give greater opportunity to the serious minded student. Tt will go hardest against, tho “pupil” who comes to the university for tho college label only. As now planned it offers even the “pupil” the op portunity to mend his ways if he so desires. The serious student of av erage ability and the superior stu dent will both be in a position to benefit far more from the Univer sity by the division according to abilities and interests than is pos sible under the present system that indiscriminately throws the students into a singlo class The faculty, in giving ear to agi tation for reform begun by the stu dents themselves, has shown itself willing to permit the participation of the student in his own education. Such a policy must eventually be rec ognized as essential to the progress of tho universities. Your Name, If You Please \ S EVIDENCE of good faith on -^V-tho part of tho writer, it is necessary that signatures accompany all communications addressed to the Emerald. Any nomc do plumo tho communicant dosires will be used in print, Authors of communication^ need not fear that their identity will be divulged. Eailure to follow this rule will explain to several students why their communications have not been published. This is the only ground on which the Emerald will deny publication. If the authors of the letters that are being held make their identity known to the editor, their contribu tions will be used. And by tho way, limit your re marks to .100 words. If you don’t, the editor will. Be on Your Best Behavior ' I ■'OMORTtOW and Saturday we S- have with us the gentlemen of the press, who forget the “refresh ing ignorance displayed by tho worthy contemporary” long enough to meet in annual conclave on the University campus. Since the home-town editor is likely to bo among the visitors it might be the better part of valor to be on good behavior during the week-end. Or better still, call on Mr. Editor, who usually counts his contact with the students one of the most enjoyable features of tho conference, and tell him of the fine record you are making at the Uni versity. This information is always good for an item in the home paper, and what could be better soothing syrup for the folkN at home? Commun ications 4.'»i, For or Against? To the Editor: Glory be! I’m afraid that people are worrying and fretting so much about this tiftv rent ($0.50) tax, that they will forget what they are paying it for. Surely, you would not put money, such a mere trifle, before the glory of Oregon’s victories and the big heartedness of the west, to say nothing of the “big butter and egg man” that we are supposed to represent. What’s the matter with Oregon students’ Don’t they think the games are going to be worth the price of admission ' Early to bed those three big nights is good advice to them, so they will be sure not to spend that fifty cents else where. Why not turn the tables and ini. agine that Oregon was going to Cal ifornia to play. With three games in succession and the danger of ac cidents, illnesses, the customary needs for substitutes, I imagine ill men would look pretty good, and I don’t suppose that Oregon would mind having their expenses eared for, said expense being around $100 per man. Would it help their spirits and hopes to have California crab bin}; because they had to pay to see the game. Why not get behind the team, your team, Oregon men and women, which seems to be rather in need of support, instead of jabber ing like a bunch of village store cronies. If you don’t spend it for Swede, Okie and Jerry, you prob ably will for “Sally, Irene and Mary.” M. M. Faculty (Continued from pa<je one) personal records, should enable uni versity authorities to predict with a fair degree of certainty the stu dent’s fitness for the honor status. This procedure will be used to de termine qualified students specially suited for various types of honor work or for sectioning on the basis of ability in upper division courses. It has been decided more advis able to grant honor status and priv ileges only to students who have at tained the junior year and not be fore. At Knox, Smith, Sivarthmore and Columbia, where experiments have been most extensively tried, honor status is accorded only when students are definitely promoted to I upper division work.

GRETCHEN WONDERS IF THE RALLY TONIGHT WILL EE j FREE. Jack Benefiel’s prayer as he kneels beside his “long green” trun-; die bed: “Oh Lord, please help Ore- j gon win the game but let the Golden Bears win one game so there will be three games, and inspire the slo gan in the hearts of the students, i ‘Give Until It Hurts.’ Bless those who are making the big sacrifice on my behalf and charge off their judg ment ledger 50c worth of united spirit. Backward turn, oh time in your flight, make me King Midas just for tonight.” “STEW BAD,” SAID THE BOOT LEGGER AS HE THREW OUT THE MASH. Pessimist: “Two weeks from to day and we’ll all be taking exams.” Optimist: “Three weeks from to day and we’ll be home I” Poor Fool: “Four weeks from to day and we’ll be going to classes again! ” HUGH BIGGS says every senior in the A. T. 0. house is growing a mustache. Just think of Archie Knowles and have a good laugh right now. COUNTY AGENT RECOMMENDS SQUIRREL POISON FOR FARMERS says a headlino in the Medford Mail i Tribune. I’ll bet she has been eat- ' ing some nice salty “home cured” hams. ! Money talks, but I know a bank- i er’s daughter who will hardly speak j to anyone. “if nobody stopped at the eighth grade, who would there be to hire the college graduates?” ABE MARTIN Luke Close, famous In Northwest Basketball circles and a recognized ! authority on the subject, who will be called upon to referee the five ' minute over-time period which will [ be played in the third game should | it result in a tie after Oregon and '■ I California have each won one of the , previous games. Close has consent ed to come only on condition that | his admission bo paid in full, so a drive is being conducted among Eu | gene fruit growers to raise the nec essary funds. • * • “I hear Bob follows the ball well.” “Yes, even to the floor.” ‘‘Nothing comes to he who waits,” is a lie.

This strange trio is composed of a rich man’s son, a former gangster, and a roly-poly German-American boy. * # # COLONIAL: Last day today: “The Great Deception,” with .Ben Lyon and Aileen Pringle.
