T) THINK that we should live to see the “sca’ndal sheet” abolished! Yet that momentous event, watched for, in vain, by sev eral college generations, will soon come to pass—provided the faculty is willing. In a few days the matter of dispensing with that conscience smiting purveyor of infamy, known by the dignified title “University News Bulletin,” will be considered. The death warrant, championed by Dr. F. O. G. Schmidt, perhaps will be discussed at the faculty meet ing, perhaps voted on, and perhaps approved. We hope for the last. The worth of the “scandal sheet” is related to the accuracy of the grading system employed here, and that grading system makes the bul letin worthless. Standards of eval uation are so many and varied (as they must be) that the marks do not always mean what they say. In spite of this, the grades are scat tered to all who care to see, and are judged on the faulty assumption that one standard of grading is employed. If the “scandal sheet” was meant as an incentive to study, it has failed. The good student needs no such incentive. The poor student is either driven into courses that are sure producers of good grades and becomes a member of the mighty clan of grade-getters, or he plugs along through the three t imes-a yenr ordeal oblivious to the use of the grade bulletin as an intellectual register. Or, granting that he is made to work harder, is it desirable that he be prodded along with threats of exposure? Our “scandal sheet” and our wonderfully elaborate and inaccur ate grading system are fine cncour agers of superficial work. The grade’s the thing. It is almost a truism that the best minds, the minds that have done the most di gestion as well as absorption, do not always win the best grades. Parrot ing, which demands no great intel lect, does. There is hardly an in structor in the Universitv who will not, either through susceptibility to flattery or through blindness, re ward a good parrot. And the par rots will increase in number unless I vve place the emphasis on learning instead of grade-getting. The abolition of the grade sheet would be the first step toward a change. When this is done—if ever —the next task will be the simpli fication of marking to something like the three grade system; honor or superior, pass and flunk. Further gradations are meaningless and worthless—almost as worthless as any grading system in whole or in part. Presumptions indeed we would be in assuming that the faculty does not recognize these facts. As edu cators they must. We merely re hearse these remarks as a means of saying that we agree something should be done. And this is an in vitation to the faculty to do some thing. Justice Tempered With What? A GRAVE injustice is being done within the precincts of this uni versity. Three more or less upright young men are being asked to pay $27.50 in cold, hard cash for one solid brass vase, one ukelelc and a fire extinguisher; all three items having mysteriously disappeared during the night of the women’s April Frolic. It is claimed that these items vanished in connection with the masculine raid on the fem inine festivities aforementioned and that therefore, the boys must pay. What mistaken sense of logic is this that would rob, yes merciless ly rob three at least partially earn est young men of the price of a 1S7 mile taxi ride or 108 hours of mill race canoeing? What pervert ed justice is this that would de prive them of the wherewithal for purchasing IS.'t l-.'t butterhorns. Ah, if we could only think of some ap propriate quotation from “The Merchant of Venice,” we would use it. Nothing less can adequately ex press the enormity of the extortion. As a matter of fact, what if the young men do know something of the missing treasures? For the dis appearance' of one of the ubiquitous breed of ukelele they should be not lined lint rewarded. And ns for the tire extinguisher, there is much more chance of its proving useful in some fraternity house than if it had re mained ensconced in the Woman’s building. And perhaps the boys took it because they were thirsty. Seriously speaking, however, it does seem something of a pity to punish three persons for a “crime” that was committed by at least 20 or SO raiders. Remember their ex treme youth, and ignorance.-—H. A. Commun ications O Temporal O Immores! To the Editor: It is with :t sigh of relief that we notice that action is to be taken to prevent the playing of Sunday base- , ball games in Eugene. Having come to the conclusion, through divine inspiration, no doubt, that Sunday moving pictures and Sunday ball games are morally detrimental, the people of Eugene not only abstain from such indulgences thorns. Ives, j but are so unselfish as to safeguard the moral welfare of thyir fellow men bv placing such lens of in- j iquity beyond the reach of tempta- I tion. We may well be thankful that the people of the state chose as the site 1 of the State University, a city where the moral welfare of their sons and daughters is so carefully j looked after. We believe that a constructive suggestion to these people in their efforts, however, would simply be : to eliminate Sunday from the cal- | endtr. It would then be impossible to (to anything on Sunday, and a proper observance of the Sabbath could thus easily be secured. J.

OBEREI X, Ohio—(IP)—Oberlin college students are complaining that romance is dead here. This, the first co educational col lege in the country has had as one of its most cherished traditions the serenading by college men of co-' eds in the middle of the night. But wlnpi several dormitory matrons and village residents recently protested that their sliynbers were too often disturbed by the singers, the col lege asked village authorities to en force an ancient ordinance against disturbing the pace after 11 o’clock at night.

From Otherl Colleges | COLUMBUS, Ohio—(IP)—What is to believed to be the first repor torial account in a newspaper of the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770, has been discovered at the Ohio State Archeological and Historical museum at the university here.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — (IP)— Probably the first university en dowment eamlpaign in, history to be carried on by radio was launched last week Yale’s $20,000,000 endow ment was broadcast to the world by air. “Round the world” dinners were held by alumni of the university on all parts of the globe, the principle one of which was . the meeting in New York at the Waldorf, where Chief Justice Howard Taft was the main speaker of the evening.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—(IP)—Af ter six weeks of successsful opera tion of its three-passenger travel lirplane purchased last fall, the Harvard Flying club is offering all students in the college interested in lying an opportunity to try out for nembership in the club, which has litherto been restricted to men pri vately elected.

Rapp. Architecta y Glorifying the Nation’s Press Under the careful scrutiny of the Fine Arts Commission, the Board of Engineers, the Building Inspector, various civic organizations, the District Commissioners and Congress itself— the National Press Building is now being built in Washington, D.C.,as a monument to the Press, and to serve as headquarters for the National Press and as an office building. Congress set aside the height limi tation of zoning laws by special act, so that the building could be of maxi mum usefulness and still conform with the symmetry of the adjacent sky line. The financing of this undertaking has been very impressive—$6,000,000 worth of bonds were oversubscribed 300% by a mighty response from every section of the country. The elevator installation consists of seven (7) Otis Gearless Traction Elevators with Unit Multi-Voltage Control and Car Switch operation at 450 feet per minute, six (6) of these delators being used exclusively for passenger service and one (2) as a service elevator. There is also a small dressing room elevator and a sidewalk elevator OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY t Offices in Ail Principal Cities of the World
