Grade List Revision BROUGHT up and discussed both in interfrater nity council and heads of houses meetings this week, the question of revising the present method of figuring the grade list is now under active con sideration. Fraternities and sororities, it is apparent, are dissatisfied. The grade list as it stands has weak nesses which can be remedied. Arguments heard on the subject include: J Incompletes should not be counted as flunks on the house grades. O Requiring that incompletes be made up within first two weeks of following term. O The new system should give more than five * points an hour to a student who gets a I with honors. A student cannot carry a normal load and take honors in his courses. He might be able to take 10 hours of honors and get a straight II aver age—40 points—and would have to work consider ably harder than the student who was not taking honors.. Theory: A I in honors should count more than a I in regular work. Shall the new system be worked on grade aver age instead of points? Or a combination of the two? rj Shall the grade list be drawn up at all? Many faculty members are opposed to it and educa tors all over the nation will support the contention that grades tend to be an end in themselves, rather than an incentive. ^ Shall pledges living in the dormitories be counted in with their fraternities as they are now, or should they be counted with the dorms? Which shall be charged with fraternity men’s grades when they live in the dorm? When he lives outside the house ? y Special students or ones carrying less than 12 hours with University permission—shall they be counted on the grade list ? Those are questions before the committees ap pointed by the men’s and women’s groups. Certain it is that there is a need for a fairer, more ade quate way of computing comparative house ratings. But many boulders lie in the path of the commit tees. Showing Editors Around ■jl^TEN of the "Fourth Estato”—newspaper men If -*-*-*• you please are on the campus for their an nual convention. Editors and managers of Oregon dailies, weeklies, and semi-weeklies, they represent the greatest collection of molders of public opinion in the state. Oregon is glad to have them here for the con ference, just as it welcomes the high school student body officials and editors or the athletes from state schools. Oregon puts herself on parade when visitors come. Prospective students from the prep schools are entertained in the fraternity and sorority houses and there get a glimpse of college life. They can see what it is like to be away from home and "on their own." Everything is new to them and makes a great impression upon their malleable minds. When the editors of the state newspapers are here they do not have the chance to see college life first hand. Unless some of them have personal friends in living organizations the only contact they make with the University is through the convention meet Lngs. The University is passing up an excellent op portunity to get acquainted with these editors, whose opinions and statements are read with inter est in all corners of the state. A great chance pre sents itself for Oregon to make valuable friends and to sow the seeds for a greater understanding of what a university’s problems are and what it is doing for the youth of the nation. "Guest night" at fraternities and sororities on the campus should be a regular feature of the news paper men's conference. These editors should be given a chance to visit student living organizations and contact student life. Sympathetic understand ing is one of the greatest aims the University could hope to gain from a gathering such as is now pres ent on the campus. Especially is it desirable in these men who hold the power of public opinion in their hands. A Year for a Cigarette Two men, one managing editor of the Minne sota Daily and the other the business manager of the annual, were suspended from the University of Minnesota in short order recently for smoking cig arettes in the university’s library. On the surface this seems exceedingly harsh punishment for smoking a cigarette, each man be ing suspended from school for a year. The Minnesota Daily came out strongly against the action of the university, charging that the men were not allowed to explain their conduct. Doubtless intent upon making examples of the two violators of school regulations, the university officials took no cognizance of the theory which recommends that "punishment fit the crime.” They went ahead and took drastic steps to punish the offenders instead of using the more accepted edu cational method of using kindness and reasoning instead of violent action. A year for a cigarette seems to hark back to inquisition days. Some people think examinations should be abol ished in college; others think seniors should not have to go to class unless they want to; a third “school” believes assignments should be replaced by individual research. What with exams, classes, and assignments out of the way college ought to be quite a social institution. The latest topic for debates is whether prepared soups are good for one’s morals or lower one's cul tural standard, we see by the Daily Kansan. Per sonally, we're interested in knowing what good we get out of eating all those turnips, parsnips and spinach they feed us down at the house. Hollywood is a regular country town and is dark after 10:30 p. m., says a movie star’s father who visited the Kansas campus the other day. These fond papas. Always sticking up for the home town. Who says college women are not interested in cooking? At the University if Missouri 1,200 stu dents attended a cooking school sponsored by the college daily. There are 396,000,000 ways to spell the word, "circumference.” This, no doubt, is good news to sign-painters. It gives them plenty of leeway. It is a crime to make a girl walk home from an auto ride, the Wisconsin supreme court ruled. Yes, it is. S1 ..■■ ■■ .. .—- "■ - —.——"——.mi j Oreganized Dementia a. .. .» .. .. .. , .-—.—£ CULTURE A terrific shriek drove some of the more timorous of the Dementia staff under cover. "Culture,” howled Dr. Confuzus, Dementia’s head philosopher, as he burst into the room, “is a great thing!” Realizing that the famous man had at last come through with another of his humanity transforming ideas, the Dementia staff recom posed itself. "There are several kinds of culture,” he con tinued: "voice, agri, horti, milk, bacteria, and—most preponderous of all—university culture. Ah! "University culture is divided into two parts, mental and physical. From my all-inclusive sur vey, I have just proved that our own university manufactures and sells the best brands of culture in the world. Think of that! "Is our physical culture department good? Well, I hope to tell you it’s good. Have you ever lost a key to one of their little tin pad locks? Have you ever lost a towel or a sweat shirt? “If you have committed any of these crimes, and are still in school, then you have no doubt paid the price for your heinous folly. Ah, the price—that’s what makes our pliysical culture department so superior. "You’d consider yourself good, too, wouldn't you, if you could get one solid iron smacker for each of your little two and a half-cent keys? Human nature is conceited, that’s what. Of course you’d be proud of yourself. "As for mental culture—believe me, gentlemen, we are absolutely unapproachable there. Imagine! Squirm in glory as you think of Plato’s or Cicero’s surprise if they could but see to what heights men tal culture has risen! “If they could but attend some of our classes, and hear some of the dumb-looking (hut really intelligent) profs mumbling away, without notes or uny organization whatsoever, about some darn tiling or other that didn’t seem to mean anything to them or much less to their little scholars—these undent friends of mine, Plate and Sis, would be absolutely astounded. “Their poor souls would cry out in joyous ad miration when they realized that at last, culture had broken the shackles of boredom and become a real science!” HOW TO WIN THE KOBE CONTEST To <uin advance publicity, the fraternity will pledge 1‘rof. Sani Smith, whose renditions always bring sympathetic howls from the audi ence: or the sorority will consider Madame McGrow, with Galll Curd as secondary choice. To make the proposition airtight, the radio sta tion will be deluged with phone calls. All brothers or sisters who know how to operate phones will take care of this detail. An alumnus ta) will send a long-distance call from Newberg. Owners of the station wlil be pleased personally to know that they have such a powerful set. Then if the brothers or sisters can disguise themselves as the judges, the coutest is prac tically won. Stude Dumb for Day But Collects Ten Iron Men for Sentence Dean Creath today is the proud possessor of ten shiny iron men. And did he earn ’em? He kept his mouth shut, closed and abso lutely dumb from 7:03 »p. m. Wednesday until 7:03 p. m. Thurs day. In spite of many tempta tions he heroically kept his peace, ignoring completely even the many admiring co-eds who tried to en gage him in a tete-a-tete. The cause for all his silence had a financial beginning. Six broth ers offered to bet him $10 cash that as a talkative senior he could not refrain from bawling some body out for one whole day. But Dean, whose favorite color is sil ver, fooled ’em and WON the bet. Dean is happy—and the fresh men had a treat—so endeth our tale. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT National Collegiate Players an nounce the pledging of Gerda Brown, Fred Harris, and Arthur Gray.

Every new eoat, frock, or any accessory for them should be purchased with the idea of fitting in with other parts of the wardrobe. As for the style hints for spring, well, loose tweed coats are very smart, and as for shoes, the oxford and the step-in pump are the things. In colors, bine and green are very good, with black again achieving tlie greatest popularity; dark reds, dark bines and dark greens are still very much worn as ensemble accessories. The Romantic Setting For your house dance may be achieved by the use of a great many red hearts and other tra ditional Valentine trimmings. At Coes Stationery Store on Willamette you will find valen tines and valentine goods of all sorts—programs for dances, everything that you could want for a St. Valentine’s party. Study Hours Can Be Gay Though very quiet ones if you are dressed for the occasion in brightly colored pajama ensem bles—you know—pajamas with clever little coats. At Ka foury's Department Store on East Broadway there are some very striking ones of Japanese make — brightly colored silk ones, that are so comfortable for studying and lounging. . —I . ■ —. I. n ~ Escaping Locks May Be Captured If you get someone that just knows the knack of tucking them in and making them look as though they were long. For the kind of curl that will help those growing hairs try the Eufene Hotel Beauty Parlor. Also you will like their other beauty treatments. The Way to Her Heart You will find is the way of flowers. For that valentine gift that would be very appro priate, why not call 616, Raups Floral Shop, on Willamette, and have them send her a dainty corsage or a potted plant of a bright ,red tulip or other fra grant flowers. If . . . You Can’t Find A Formal Why Not Go down to Margaret Coldren’s Dressmaking Shop on the third floor of the Miner Building and have one made just to suit your own ideas of one that you would like. She will have a lot of good suggestions for the smart w&y to have it made, and she can carry them out well. Or perhaps you might have your old one remodeled. Either a Tree or an Umbrella Is Needed When Old Man Oregon decides to send down some of that fa mous Oregon rain. But it is most generally conceded that an umbrella is the most con venient. At Laraway’s Jewelry Store on Willamette there is a very good assortment of the cleverest kinds of umbrellas, for of course you want a smart looking one even though it does not cost a great deal. A Valentine For Your Secret Sorrow In the mail is a good way to break the ice, even though you yourself are not present. At McMorran and Washbume's in the book department on the main floor you will find all kinds and descriptions of val entines—funny ones for the kid brother or the roommate, nice ones for mother and your best sweetie, and intermediate ones for others. So don't forget that a week from today is St. Val entine's Day. That Essential Requisite For all times is good-looking hose. If ever you find yourself stranded without a clean pair, just remember that at the U of O Ko-Ed next to the College Side you can always get the best-looking hose in all the new smart shades. They carry the Allen A hose, and you couldn't ask for nicer hose at the very moderate prices for which they are offered.

Dr. Ella Meade, 14 8th West, can very easily make a duplicate of your lens and put them in good looking frames.
