(riving a Name To the Dog Our correspondent quotes: “Give a dog a bad name and, hang it.” Yes, but if tin1 ring lias no name, what then? In this instance the dog “was far too valuable to be ig nored, so we nicknamed him “Junior College.” In section II, page (I of the com; mittee on superior stiudent.s and honor courses report, the organiza tion of honors work is delegated to a council on honor students, a label duly plastered on where honors re forms were specifically intended, by the editorial in q nest ion. This led to the belief that the council on etc. was subsidiary to the committee on . . . Our error. But the dog still lacks a name and we are heartily in accord with our correspondent in the conviction that “Junior College” is not only misleading blit also -well, a little puppjfish for a University dog. Since this poor caninie seems to have suffered bifurcation, our best offer is “Corlierus” the two-headed guardian dignified by Dante. Keep the Heap Off the Campus President Clarence (look Little refuses to be worried by the light enrollment of freshmen at the Cni versity of Michigan this year. When the roster of matriculants fell some HOC short of last year’s mark, the “failure” was accusingly attributed to the university ban on student owned automobiles. But President Little is unperturbed; he comments, “If enrollment has decreased be cause of the automobile restriction, L am glad of it.” Glad the students are ista.ying away from Michigan ? It smacks of heresy; page the Greater Michigan Committee! But those who remem ber Dr. Little’s visit to Oregon last year will be impressed with his re mark. They became acquainted with his intellectual as well as his physi cal stature. It is true that the Michigan 'situ ation is an inexact analogue to Ore gon. Xo doubt cars are a more legitimate asset where transporta tion otherwise is problematical. Begulatiou can lie satisfactorily made for student owned cars here as it has at the University of Kan sas, where day-parking on campus streets is prohibited and permits are required for campus automo biles. Bat all this is beside the observa tion of President Little that, in gen eral, student-car combinations are undesirable additions to the univer sity, and that the loss of persons ho blind to real opportunities as to be daunted by such a restriction is >io crying matter. Last year Oregon made an impo tent gesture at discouraging canipVis car ownership. The horde came back with reinforcements. Narrow streets are all but impassable dur ing the day and nimbleness is the only security in crossing the Thir teenth street fhormi|jlif!am And scholarship Logically, the next step will be restrictive legislation. Prohibitions will be made that will be onerous to campus tourists. Many will be ] greatly handicapped, but tlic general j welfare will be served; the time lias | < ome for regulation. Tf some get mail anil go home with their toys— ’■who’ll try? j -1 Campus Activities; Help Wanted To consult Webster as to the meaning of the word, one findis, among a mass of definitions, that knowledge may mean: familiarity actual, experience; ac with fact; scope of in and the act or state of gained by j ipiaintaiuee I formation; i knowing. With this information in mind, it | becomes obvious that all knowledge ! is not to be obtained through the J reading of books or listening to ; classroom lectures, lwit that irfuc-h | knowledge is to lie had through I other channels. To the student on the University campus, the most practical of these methods is that of taking an active interest in stu dei^ activities. Participation in campus activities .gains knowledge for the student by bringing him into closer contact with older students and members of the faculty. He achieves ‘‘familiar ity gained through actual exper ience,” a thing not contained in textbooks. It enables him to vary hiw vicarious learning from a world of words with contacts with actual ities. It is an opportunity—limited, of course, by the limits of the campus world—to 'make his ‘‘ac quaintance with fact” a concrete one. Student activities, however, cani not be expected to supplant the classroom with its lessons and lec tures, but can be made a valuable supplement to it. Most university professors admit the value of activi ties indulged in with discretion. No one, they will say, should sacrifice time from his studies for the pur suit of the honors to be gained through taking part in activities. This is as it ishnuld be, for the im mediate value of .knowledge to be gained in this way does not bulk as large as that to be garnered from study. He who decides to take part ill extra-curric,ular activities does licst to choose the one wherefrom he is likely to derive the greatest benefit. Teamwork and the spirit of fair plav comes from participation im nthl'etics. Students preparing for Hie legal profession find oratory and debate of value to them. Work on the university publications af ford opportunities for many to de velop their talent for writing. Many others find helpful experience as [malingers of athletic teams, debates, concert and lecture series, and in filling offices and committer ap-. poiutments in student .government. The success of worthwhile student activities at Oregon is dependent upon the quality of those who Hire willing to do the work. Hut there must be a goodly ijuunfity of aspir ants for office and position if there is lo be a ichoice of quality. The present leaders of Oregon activities will he vacating their places as the University year comes to a close. Now is the time 'when those who wish to succeed to office or position in later years must make themselves known. W. ('. Commun ications We Stand Corrected To tho Editor: I wish to point out what sot*ins a. misnppi eheirsion of far is in vour loading editorial of Saturday. More than a your ago two faculty com mittees were appointed: one to plan changes in the work of the upper division and one to plan chances for the lower division. It wins tho latter and NO'l the former to which the name “Junior v'ollcge” became t u a tort unateh, the committee it self believes - attn lied. All ‘the nett dentil* changes so far formulated and made public have had reference to the upper division, and the plans take a form that has no name, but which the committee itself some times refers to loosely as an “honors school”—most certainly NOT a “Junior college.” As to the lower division »ommit tee. 1 happen to be a member of that also. While this lias been ad iodised as the “Junior college” i committee, tlu* members arc awaro that “Junior college’’ is a term that means a certain development in high schools ami not in universities, ouo that may luove *01110 justifica tion in California and a fow thickK settled states, but which has, novor tholoss, attracted the very unfavor able notice of some of the most respected educators in the country. At its last meeting the so-called “Junior college** committee depre cated the name by which it has up to this time been called, and dis cussed ways and means of pi-oeecd in.ii’ with its work and obtaining valuable results without being iden tified with l lie so-called “Junjor eollego itiovemeat,” in which many of the mouthers ^rofoumll' disbe lieve. “(div'e a do*; a l ad name and hang it." but ]dease try to avoid the term “Junior college" in referring to the work of either committee.
