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.

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.

The well-dressed eo-ed is going to lie the one who plans
her wardrobe and her shopping for it on the ensemble
plan. 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.

would like. She will have a
lot of good suggestions for the

Either a Tree or an
Umbrella Is Needed
When Old Man Oregon decides
to send down some of that fa

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.

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.
