Students Know Why They Come To University Questionnaire Develops Information of Much Interest Oregon Courses Templing To Many Freshmen “Just why do you come to the University of Oregon?’’ This question was recently ashed COO freshmen, and the old myth that young students do not know just, why they select a college or uni versity was exploded. Out of the total of 000, 090 declared that the courses of study offered at the uni versity influenced them more than anj’ other factor in their choice of an. institution of higher learning. Most of the Vi remaining failed to fill in this place on the questionnaire while only a few* stated that courses of study did not influence them. That the entrance requirements and high scholarship standards arc definitely limiting attendance at the University and bringing to it a higher type of student was shown by flie answers. Many freshmen stated that in their belief a great many students were deterred from coming hero because entrance re quirement units must bo in required j subjects, while others stated that the university system of placing the lowest quarter of entering freshmen on scholastic probation also kept nwav many who would otherwise en ter. That the geographical location of Eugene as a university center is favorable was shown by the fact that 4K1 of the 090 answered .this question in the affirmative. Only 92 said it was unfavorably located for them. Active University students and parents wero-found to be among the strongest influences toward bringing students 1o this institution. Three hundred, sixty-four stated that ac tive students of tho University had influenced them to come, and .112 were influenced by their parents. Alumni and school teachers wore also influential factors. Financial conditions were also considered by 305 of those answer ing. Most of the students were of the opinion that costs here compar ed favorably with other coast in stitutions, and for tho grade of in struction, lower than many. The fact that part time positions are more plentiful in Eugene than in ninny other college center'? was giy .11 as an answer lay many. Bu.ial life, or Hie “good fitn.es” part, of the University life, was nut. overlooked, for 1:71 declared that, they considered this ns a factor in making up their minds to come to | Oregon. This apparently appeals ! more strongly to women than men, however, for 208 of those answering thus were co eds, and only 111 men. The questionnaire was compiled and tabulated by Hugh Biggs, stu dent in the school of. law, who is now doing part time research work in connection with work carried on by the Registrar’s office here.

S. Tr. O. concert series, March 1. The English Singers of Tiondon are a group of six musicians who are noted for the excellence of their ensemble singing and mastery of polyphony. Their eoneerts are given entirely in English and include the madrigals, ballets, and canzonets of Elizabethan England, Italian street cries, folk songs, and modern En glish and French part songs. In accordance with the old cus tom of the madrigal singers of 350 years ago, the English singers have adopted the habit of singing seated at ease around’a table, or as one critic puls it, “they sit around a table and chat, telling <jld stories, in vocal arrangements that are fas cinating.” Many of their songs arc unaccompanied, which makes the balance of llieir ensemble more np- ■ parent. This is the third concert tour of America that the artists have made. Their first appearance was at the Washington festival and in New York City in 1925. In 1920 they re turned for a 22-week tour.
