Psychologists Add Correlation Machine Device Takes Labor Out Of Statistical Formulae A correlntidn machine 5s the latest addition to the equipment at tlio psjTeliology department. Ac cording to Dr. Robert Holmes Sea shore, associate professor of psy cliology, tli 13 machine was first or iginated at Stanford university un der a grant made by Dr. L. M. Torman of that school. Dr. Sea shore, who 'was attending Stanford at, that time on a fellowship, be came acquainted with the machine and was asked by Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, head of 1he department, to make a similar one for use in the department here. “It is designed to take the labor out of tlie three principal formulae: arithmetic mean or average, stand ard deviation, and T’earsoq, cfeoeffi c$nt, of Correlation.” The latter of these three is an embodiment of tlie fir,^ two. Tlie machine is not used in actual experimentation, but rather onmes into use in the compilation of the data. However, Dr. Seashore wants it clearly understood that the mach ine is not designed to run compe tition to any adding machine. Once the machine is clearly un derstood, the principle is so simple that it can be operated by any clerk even though lie knows no thing about psychology. Dr. Sea shore says that anyone can learn to operate it in about fifteen min ute’s time.

Wade Bros. Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes < i\ ' «s NEW CO-OP POLICY CONCERNS EVERY OREGON STUDENT Here is the new policy in a nut shell “I Beginning March 1 st a direct cut in prices will be substituted for the present rebate on cash register tickets. 2 Prices on many staple articles of every day use will be reduced. The price cut will be sufficient to take the place of the $2073.00 paid in rebates last yar. The selective price reduction will be so dis tributed over necessary supplies that all stu dents may share in the cash saving without the bother of collecting cash register tickets. Text books are sold at a fixed list price which cannot be cut. All outstanding cash register tickets will be honored if presented on or before June The adoption of this policy of price reduction is but another 'effort on tlie part of the Store Board to operate the kind of store the student body wants. In their study of Co-op prob lems Roy Herndon and Ralph Coyer, the committee from the Student Council, learned by interviewing many students that direct returns through reduced prices would be more satisfactory than the present rebate system. Watch the Emerald for further details of the plan. We solicit your help and suggestions in putting into effect this important forward step in our merchandising venture. first 1 929.
