PROGRESS conies, not out of the enforcing of likenesses, but out of the clash of unlike nesses.—IT. L. Mencken. -A*- The heavy vote against the limitation of Emerald editorial con trol comes as a pleasing indication that the electorate has been think ing not only in terms of what collego newspapers have been, but what they should be—stimulators rather than mere reflectors of student thought. At the same time we hope sincerely that the decision will put to rest any future attempts to lim it the editor’s control. The vote can be taken to indicate that students ask more from their editor than mere platitudes on per ennial subjects. Wo say this in the belief that the amendment was con sidered for what it meant abstract ly, rather than as an issue between one student administration and a particular Emerald administration. To interpret t'ho vote as a repudia tion of the student administration is, we bclievo, manifestly unfair. That was not the issue; and we do not consider tho electorate as hav ing vindicated one sido and repud iated the other. The Emerald as sumes that the student body decided it better to have an editorial pago devoted to sincere expressions of opinions, however new and dis tasteful they might be, than a more Grub Street Is Not Dead ND that’s that. , Commun I ications Ain’t We Got Fun? To the Editor: Running athletes! Bright spring sun! Stands filled with eh coring crowds! The big state high school relay meet is on! But that’s all well and good. Who cares about the rest of the story—the housing and feeding of this horde of high school popula tion. That's the part that isn’t such interesting reading. They had to sleep and they had to eat. The fraternity houses were the solution to that. So in they went, about 15 more men to find places for in the al ready full houses. Where the house members slept is an unsolved ques Method of Lessening Term Paper Drudgery Tried by Mr. Mueller A plan for term papers that gives the emphasis to the collection, clas sification, and interpretation of ma terial, and not to literary style and elaboration, is being inaugurat ed here by John IT. Mueller, assist ant professor of sociology. This plan has been used by him in other in stitutions, both as h student and as an instructor, notably at tile Uni versities of Chicago and Missouri. The bibliography, a literal or summary statement of significant passages from readings, the names and pages of these reference books, and a title for the passage us a heading are put on colored cards, generally four by six inches. White cards are used for the original ideas of the students. One idea is put on each page so that the pages can be re-classified. The material is not put in essay form, thus making less drudgery for the students. Every sheet can be used, but when material is or ganized into essay form, much of it cannot be used, since it is irrele- j vant. The students using this moth- j barometer of the momentary no tions of the electorate. Viewed in this light the decision reflects favorably on the students. We hope it remains a precedent to which future editors may look, and wherein they may find full au thority and confidence for writing what they think, rather than what they believe they are supposed to think. The past few years have seen a change in the nature of the editor ial pages of the collego papers. The grandmotherly attitude of com plaisance toward things that are because they are, has changed. A more critical attitude has come to bear, and with it a liberalization of thought and an appeal to the think ing students. There have been casualties, of course. A few editors have been un ceremoniously separated not only from their journalistic careers, but from their collegiate, likewise. But the change has come, nono the less. With the independence of the pa pers lias come the dispossesion of the sacred cows, whether they be within or without the universities. Tho editor, with a few sad excep tions, is moro than a would-be gram marian; ho tries to say something moro than mere words. That tho students of the Univer sity should have given so pro nounced support to this changS is a happy sign, not only for the editors, but also, and moro important, for the students, who are the univer sity. Education is the encouragement of freedom of thought. Tho bold truth should need no ambush. tion—on tho floor, two in a single bed or downtown—nice of them to do it for theso high school boys whom none of them knew, would probably ever seo again and who meant little or nothing to tho fra ternities as they were then. And hero’s the rub. Not long ago the inter-fraternity council passed a rule forbidding anyone but mem bers to sleep overnight in the fra ternity houses during rush week, presumably because someone might have to sleep on the floor. These newcomers on the campus, the rushees, tnean a lot moro to fra ternities than do tho high school boys. There are plenty of beds for them, graduations and lute-returners take care of that phase and the house will probably pledge a lot of them anyway to fill up these empty beds and rooms.’ This rush week ruling seems to be rather hypocritical—but it’s too late to crab now, all we can do is cry our eyes out. A FRATERNITY MAN od can work on their papers until] time to hand the file in, ns it is always in the making, and is con tinually subject to additions with no reorganization or copying of material. The plan is being tried out in Mr. Mueller’s principles of sociology, and social origins courses. Courses Offered by (German University For the small fee of $15, vacation ; courses are offered to Americans at Hamburgischen Universitat in Ger many this summer, June 27 to July 30th.

Instead of putting her ballot in the box she took it home with her. • • • Whatever troubles Adam had And they were none too few, He didn’t have to pay a cent To see a good revue. Frosh Ben Dover thought there had been a mistake in printing the amendments on the ballot until he was told that the gold lyres were to be awarded to musicians and not debaters. Housemanagers are warned to keep a close eye on the table clothes these days. They make very nice knickers. * * * Agamemnon L. Hives, campus politician., who., received., several stunning blows in yesterday’s elec tion. An amendment that he was backing, which would have prohib ited hand operated canoes on the millrace and awarded tiny gold lawn-mowers to campus caretakers, was overwhelmingly defeated. His freshman candidate for senior man on the student council received only two votes. In an interview this morning Mr. Hives says he is unable to explain things. Only the morn ing before, he had mailed a package of gum to each living organization on the campus. He is retiring from politics, indefinitely. Arthur Perry, colymnist of the Medford Mail Tribune: “The ‘pot of gold’ that used to j bo at the end of tho rainbow, is be ginning to look like a tin can.” • • • ; The professor with the shiny blue serge suit says it is easy to tell a scholar from a student.

Dear Worried, Leave tho lights on while you sleep and this will prevent rings from turning black. Your Aunt Seerah. Be that as it may, an eastern paper carries an ad for “THE STORK NURSERY COMPANY" which goes a long way toward put ting an old myth on a firm founda- I tion. x j There’s one thing about these marathon dance contests like they had down at Los Angeles recently. If any of the entrants ever go to college they won’t have to bother with mentality examinations. • • • Being a debater, etc., it’s ciuite j a coincidence that Beelar rimes so well with speeler. “Put in about six gallons, please,” said the fair young driver. “Oil right,” responded the 190 pounds of college graduate, and he laughed as though his little heart ■ would break.

C. faculty, will attend an infantry school at Camp Benning, Georgia, next year where he will receive nine months of schooling in infantry weapons. This announcement was made yesterday by Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Sin1 clair, professor of military science at the B. O. T. C. His work there will be intensive training, a large part of it theoretical, but the major part the actual experience in hand ling machine guns, automatic rifles, 37 millimetres, hand and rifle gre nades, trench motors, and tanks. To replace Captain Culin, Cap tain Clarence H. Bragg, who will be graduated from the infantry school this June, will come to the University sometime prior to the opening of college in the fall. He participated in the World War as a reserve officer from May, 1917, until his appointment in the reg ular army service in 1920. Captain Bragg was born in Oregon. Captain Culin goes on leave June 1 for approximately two months and will spend this time in Arizona. In August, he will return to San Fran cisco and take a transport to New York City by way of the Panama canal. From there, he will go to Columbus, Georgia, Camp Benning being situated only ten miles from that place. Keyserling Argues for Better Understanding A new book by one of the keenest minds among contemporary writers is “The World in the Making,” by Count Hermann Keyserling and translated by Maurice Samuel. The book is based on the state- ! ment, “A man’s understanding of life is the sole force which directs life,” and the belief that it is through understanding that the per sonal and the universal meet. The book makes an analysis of present world tendencies, and explains that since our understanding of the world is what gives the world mean ing and directs its growth, it is for each to train his understanding. Those who understand are the ones to direct and mold. The volumo includes the autobi ography of Hermann Keyserling, outlining his own process of growth. i !

Business Students Take Psychological Test in Experiment Does the psychological test given at the beginning of the freshman year represent a stable measure ment of capacity, or do students change their relative rank consid erably over a period of a year and a half? To collect data in regard to this point psychological tests were giv en to a group of sophomore business administration majors Tuesday afternoon by Howard B. Taylor, professor of psychology. The tests given the sophomores are very similar to those given them when they were freshmen, accord ing to Mr. Taylor. The general pur pose is to determine how much cre dence may be put in the freshman tests as A. measure of the student’s capacity during the following years. “A short time ago these tests were given to the sophomore psycholog ical laboratory students, of whom 63 were women and 13 men,” Mr. Taylor said. “The tests were given to the business administration ma jors today because they are a larger group, they represent a larger pro portion of men, and they are as representative a group of students as any on the campus.” University Gains 53 Over Total of 1925-26 Campus enrollment in the Univer sity for the year 192Q-27 has reach ed a total of 3054 with the comple tion of registration for the spring term, according to a compilation made by the registrar’s office. This represents a gain of 53 ever the total for 1925-26, when 3001 were entered as students in the Univer sity. The total enrollment for the year is expected to be much greater than that of 1925-26 when figures for the medical school, the Portland and Salem centers, and the corres pondence division are available. About 230 are registered in the I MARK |X 1 _II I medical school and around 6,000 in the extension division. The actual attendance on the campus at the present time is 2496. The difference between this figure and that of the year’s enrollment is accounted for by withdrawals because of sickness and lack of fi nances, the finishing of work to wards degrees, and failure to pass a sufficient number of hours. Lupher Gets Award From California Tech Ralph L. Lupher, research fellow in geology was awarded an unre stricted fellowship to the Califor nia Institute of Technology, where he will study under Doctors John P. Buwalda and Chester Stock for his doctor’s degree. The fellowship is rated as one of the best ever given to a member of this depart ment. The study of the jurassie rocks that Mr. Lupher will pursue in the John Day region this summer will be part of the work he will carry on at the institute in Pasadena. Re search wmrk in this region is new, and the fossils found will help Mr. Lupher to index the period and es timate the depth and temperature of the ancient seas.
