Educational Profession Overpaid
Declares Writer for Scribner’s
Athletic Coach More Useful j
Maintains H. Whicker
The athletic coach may draw a
higher salary than the college pro
fessor, but in most cases he is
worth the difference, according to
H. W. Whicker, a former professor,
who writes for the February Scrib
ner’s magazine.
“There is at present not a more
overpaid profession on earth than
■ the academic or educational,” lie
• declares.
■ “The number of people who drift
■ into college, year after year, witli
. out one quality of manhood or worn
i anhood is amazing. In some mys
terious fashion they drag through,
> finding the stuff suitable for their
wits not in history, not in the
> sciences, not in the arts, but In the
department of education, where, in
association with their hind, they
are moulded like putty into herders,
not teachers. And after four years
they know tlint life is no place for
them; it is a swift and terrible
stream which they view with abject
terror.
“Such an array frowns down
upon the healthy American school
boy, or schoolgirl, from kinder
garten to college commencement.
And a sorry lot they rye; men un
sexed by lack of physical exercise
and the moron-making processes of
study through which they have been
pushed for normal certificates;
Kornen without the physical or in
tellectual charm to attract mates.
The whole system, as a consequence,
is but a lunchcounter and sleeping
accommodation for incompetence.

Y.W.C.A. Cabinet
Offices May Still
Be Tried Out for
New Ideas Wanted; New
Leaders to He Eleeted
Last Week of Month
Many offices on tbo Y. W. 0. A.
cabinet have yet to lie tried out for,
Dorothy Thomas, Y. \V. secretary,
reported yesterday. All women in
terested in being on the association
cabinet next year should see her
about an interview, she declared.
“Bring all your new ideas of
what the work of the Y. W. should
lie,” was her advice to possible can
didates. It is not necessary to have
a definite office in mind when try
ing out for the cabinet, she said.
■The on tv qualification is a sympathy
with the work of the organization
and ideas for the accomplishment
of its purpose.
Last year about 50 girls tried out
for the 22 positions on the cabinet.
The. cabinet this year will be re
duced to 15.
Possible positions on the cabinet
include president, vice-president,
also membership chairman; secre
tary, who is also in charge of pub
licity; treasurer, who is also finance
chairman; music, vespers, social,
bungalow, staff dinners, and many
others. Any one who has an idea
for an addition to the cabinet is
welcome at the bungalow, where
Miss Thomas is ready to hear sug
gestions, she said.
Elections will be held the last
week of this month.

Council Puls
Water Polo on
Year’s Trial
Question of Major Sport
Haling Must Wail Until
l'rohation Time Served
Campus Movie Gains
Officials’ Approval
No Obligations Assumed
By Associated Students
Water polo is temporarily with
drawn ns a major sport, and wilt
serve a probationary period of at
least a year, at the end of which a
new formal declaration ns to its
rank ini' must be made, according to
a resolution drawn up and passed
by the combined executive and stu
dent councils last night. Another
resolution was made, favoring the
idea of the campus movie as a
private enterprise, but stating
clearly that the student body as
sumed no responsibility or financial
obligations.
The argument was brought up
that though water polo is required
in all swimming meets, it is an in
dividual sport and as such has not
served the probationary period re
quired of other sports made major
events. This year is the first in
which there has been a coast con
ference meet, and not until next
year, when the game will be played
here, will the campus have an op
portunity to witness contests. Water
polo at Oregon is still in the pioneer
stage.
No Letters Yet
The period of probation required
does not effect the southern trip
that starts Sunday. Aten will not
got their letters, however, until for
mal recognition of the councils
places the game among major
sports.
Since a clause in the Constitution
gives the councils jurisdiction over
campus entertainments, the question
of the campus movie was consid
ered. dim Haley explained the or
ganization of its directorate and
the' condition of its finances. He
said that it was a privately-owned
project, with several university stu
dents holding stock in the company
at their own risk. If profits accrue
from the enterprise, only the stock
holders may benefit. If the movie
is a failure, only the stock holders
are held liable.
Resolution Adopted
Under these conditions the coun
cil drew up the following resold
t ion:
“Resolved, that the A. 8. IT. O.
grants permission to the directors of
the campus movie to produce a mo
tion picture with the provision that
the A. 8. IT. O. assumes no finan
cial or other obligation. It is un
derstood that tho production is to
be a private enterprise and is in no
way a student activity. However,
it is considered of such value to the
university, if successful, that per
mission is given to sell tickets for
screen tests and otherwise to op
erate among university students.
“It is also understood that the
picture is to be produced under the
direction of the university and the
financial program to be approved
by the committee appointed by
President Hall for this purpose.”

Increase Noted
Tn Enrollment
Of Law School
New Faculty Members Do
Good Work, Says Dean
Carpenter in Report
A 10 per cent increase in ciutoll
ment in the University of Oregon
law school is reported by Dean
Uharles 10. Carpenter in his annual
report on file yesterd: v nt the ad
ministration offices. The school
has enrolled 84 this year, while in
pro-legal work there are 100 regis
tered, or a six per cent increaso
over lasl year.
Dean Carpenter in his report re
views the changes in the staff, and
declares that the new faculty mem
bers are “doing eminently satisfac
tory work in the teaching, research
and writing line.”
The law library now contains
18,774 volumes, 780 having been
added this year. There is insuffi
cient reading space in the library
for students, according to the
report.
Research work of the law school,
Dean Carpenter said, is largely de
voted to an annotation of the re
statement of the law of the Amer
ican Law institute with Oregon
cases, statutes and constitutional
provisions. ,
“This work is more than an anno
tation,” says Dean Carpenter. “It
is a discussion of the Oregon cases
in the light of the restatement and
of the fundamental principles of
law. This should prove a very
valuable piece of work for Oregon
lawyers.”
Co-op Receives Best

Professional Photographer Gives
Advice to Campus Movie Directors
Americans Demand Films
With a Happy Ending
“[ came up hero supposedly on
a vacation,” laughed James 11.
McBride, late of Hollywood, Cali-1
fornia, “and look what I got into!”
Mr. McBride is the general super
visor of the Campus Movie, and is
giving the production directors, Car
vel Nelson, James Raley and Boa
Milligan, much valuable advice in
the ways and means of motion pic
ture making.
McBride has been connected with
Cecil DeMille, Hollywood director,
for eight years, in the capacity of
photographer, and has taken part
in such productions us “King of
Kings,” “The Volga Boatman,”
“Feet of Clay,” “West Point,” and
“The Godless Girl.”
He has also sold scenarios, or
rather ideas, for that is all com
panics buy. “Authors,” he said,
commenting on the scenario quos
tion, ‘‘authors and novelists of re
pute come to Hollywood, expecting
to write for the screen ns easily
as they write fiction. They usually
go home disappointed, for the fic
tion writer is used only for the
ideas he con produce, and not for
anything else. Therefore he gets
hardly any notice and is barely men
tioned on the screen.
Unusual Ending Needed
“Seen'ario writing calls for a dif
ferent technique than ordinary fic
tion.” Here he reached in a cabi
net and brought forth a stack of
paper, clipped together. It was as
big as a large magazine. “This is
a scenario,” he said. “This particu

motion picture ‘Silence,’ which in
my opinion, is one of the best pic

sured of representing the northern
section in the plav-off with the Cali

the hope of gaining a 1 it' with Wash

from nearly the first of the season.
I he \\ ebfoots, however, are trying

Two More Games on Schedule
The sensational recovery of the
Oregon team has been the talk of
the conference. Washington to
night. will find the Wehfoots in bet
’ter form than when they were in
Pullman. The situation now is ex
actly reversed. The Cougars are
mow on their road trip, playing on
unfamiliar territory. Their game
with Oregon State at Corvallis last
alight was a hard one, and they may
show the strain just as Oregon did
at Pullman after the Husky game.
Two more games remain on the
Oregon schedule after the game to
night. Idaho will be here Monday
and then Washington Friday. The
Wehfoots lost to both these teams
ia the north, but are eager to make
amends this time.
