Personnal Bureau Helps Students in Arranging Their Courses Knots Ironed Out of Work For Freshmen Hall’s Report to Regents States Sueeess of New Venture Bright College Students May Graduate Early To assist students in their se lection of courses and to advise them on their many problems is the primary purpose of the newly created personnel bureau of the University, and to this end it has proven quite successful, according to a report by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president, which is to be submitted to the board of higher education at a meeting to be held in Portland, January 10. Following the mid-term grade reports last term, about 400 indi vidual conferences were held with students, and many other consul tations have taken place through out the term. Analysis of diffi culties and revision of • personal programs were services rendered , in these cases. The personnel bureau also has charge of the intelligence and ap titude tests which are given en tering students. Special attention is paid to students who are rated in the highest and the lowest 10 per cent. May Have Special Work It is possible that special work may be recommended for those who show special aptitude, while for those who test low aid in keep ing up with their work will be given. A proposal made in the report by Dr. Hall would reduce the amount of time necessary for graduation in recognition of a quality of university #work that would evidence distinction, orig inality. and maturity of judgment of an exceptional and unusual na ture. Since many students are required to stay more than the usual four years in college because they have failed to fulfill gradua ' tion requirements, he suggests that students who have excep tional ability and character and interest should be allowed to cut down the time necessary for grad uation. In connection with this Dr. Hail mentions the fact that a program of this sort would be an aid and incentive to students whol ly or partially self-supporting, and would also tend to relieve the con gestion at the University. Works With Frosh The personnel bureau also han dles the program of freshman or ientation week, at the beginning of the school year. The honor system is also a part of its work. Under this system, for which Ore gon is gaining some distinction, about 30 per cent of the junior class each year is made eligible for honors work, and may, by putting forth extra effort, earn their B. A. degree “with honors.” Interest in the program of the personnel bureau is keen, both na tionally and locally, and many ^ prominent educators have asked to be informed of all steps in the development going on here.

FRIGID WELCOME AWAITS AD MEN With slight flurries of snow all clay yesterday which remained on the ground and a steady fall last evening, prospects were of a white campus to greet students this morning. Alpha Delta Sigma, men’s ad- ■ vertising honorary, will hold its1 winter term initiations this morn ing on library steps and advance forecasts look gloomy for the neophytes when they start their speeches. Desultory snow fights among fraternity men were features yes- ; terday and if snow falling last < night remains on the ground to day the traditional pitched bat tles will probably be staged. In tramural snowball fights may be unofficially run off and the losing, teams will enter a consolation tournament and meet the winners of the Patterson school elimina tions.

The play is “Disraeli"'and this new screen version stars George Arliss, the masterful actor who made such a tremendous success of the oiiginal production. His per formance on the screen is a powerful one —the equal of the finest stage performance he ever gave in his life. Mr. Arliss’ portrayal of “Dis raeli” runs the gamut of char acterization. It is a thing of everchanging moods and there fore fascinating in • its unex pectedness. Intrigue, romance, strategy George Arliss deftly brings out the nuance of each passing emotion of the mysterious super-statesman, Disraeli. HESLIG THEATER Grammar," wiitten by L. K. Shu maker, of the department of Eng lish is another feature of the Jan uary number. The third article, “Summary of Class Size and Ef ficiency and Class Size in Oregon Schools," is a report of a commit tee headed by E. D. Fowler, of the school of business administration, to the high school principal’s con ference.

Tlie acting of George Arliss Is su perb and the .; rection equally good. At the first glimpse, Arliss seems to own the ugliest features that could be collected on one face, but after a few moments one sees only the charm of the man, his polished charm of manner and ability to use the English lan guage. at the McDonald— Rudy Vallee is the charming musical idol who leads the excep tional caste of “The Vagabond Lover" at the McDonald theatre, i 1 Tiie feminine interest, centers in the charming Sally Blane who wears scads of new long dresses | and breathes the very air of so phistication.
