High Scholarship Indicates Future Success Says Visitor William Ferguson, Stanford Psychology Student, Expresses Views Concerning Study Of Vocations and Hobbies By RUFUS KIMBALL A good banker, if he takes up golf, is apt to be a good golfer. Similarly, university students who do well in their scholastic work and get good grades, as a general rule, are those who make them selves known in campus activities. Accomplishment in one line almost always carries with it a proportionate degree of accomplishment in the other. , These theories form the basis of an extensive research into the relationship between vocations and hobbies, a study which has been begun at Stanford university this spring by William Ferguson, an ad vanced student in psychology there. Ferguson is visiting on the Ore gon campus over Junior Week-1 end. Yesterday he conferred with Dr. Howard R. Taylor, head of the personnel bureau, on methods of compiling data for the survey. “The energy and ability which carry a man to the top in business or in scholarship,” Ferguson said, “generally bring him success in whatever outside activities he may go in for in his leisure time. More over, the type of activities or hob bies indulged in usually parallels pretty closely the individual's vo cational capacities.” Ferguson expressed a belief that among university graduates most outside interests can be traced to their college careers. Education and early training are among the chief factors taken into consideration in the questionnaire which he is preparing, he ex plained. “Interests which a stu dent fails to acquire in college,” he said, “are seldom picked up after graduation.” Good grades in college? accord ing to Ferguson, are a pretty reli able indication of success in later life.

By KALPH DAVID The greatest advantage of the deferred pledging system is that it places freshmen in such a posi tion that it is strictly up to them as to whether they make good and survive the first year or not, ac cording to Pete Heiser, student at Stanford university, who is visit ing on the campus this v/eek. “The freshman year in the dorm is the best one in a man's univer sity career, and the men that sur vive this year are the ones that are worth while. In the dormitory a man is wholly on his own. There is no one to care if he cuts a class or flunks an exam. The man soon realizes his responsibility and if he has the stuff in him he im mediately gets to work," said Mr. Heiser. "When the rushing period ar rives fraternities know what men they want and do not have to gam ble on their ability to make good," i said the Stanford men, who is rushing chairman of his frater nity. The freshman, at the same time, is more valuable to the fra ternity because of his large ac quaintance among other freshmen, many of whom pledged other houses than his own or preferred to remain in the dormitory, and because he has gained initiative and a sense of his responsibility to make good for his own sake as well as for the fraternity. “Instead of looking at deferred pledging from an entirely selfish standpoint, fraternity men should also look at it as benefitting the freshman. From my own exper ience as a freshman in a dormi - tory I realize how much it meant to be placed so completely on my own. I believe that first year was worth more to me than any other." Pledging at Stanford is deferred until the first part of the spring quarter, explained Mr. Heiser. The rush session is divided into two l periods. The first period lasts for 10 days and fraternities are al lowed one date with the rushees during that time. During the sec ond period of five days the rushees may -date as many times as they arc asked by the fraternities. The last day of the second period is preference night and the freshman BLUE BELL PRODUCTS BUTTER—ICE CREAM PASTEURIZED MILK VVo Appreciate Your Patronage Eugene Farmers Creamery 568 Olive Phone 638 I I I Comfortable Oregon Electric TRAINS i i Leave Eugene for Portland 7:85 A.

Although there are infractions of the rushing rules, and these sometimes cause ill-feeling be tween fraternities, the general ad vantage of deferred pledging both to the freshman and the fratern ity is recognized at Stanford, con cluded Mr. Heiser. HALL FITS IN WITH HIS BUSINESS SLOGAN (Continued from Tape One) sentative for Corbett, for the vote of the students. As he sat there, looking for all the world as if he was about to sign a contract, or dictate a let ter, I remembered I had read in some of his circular material his campaign slogan, “A business ex ecutive for our state executive.” He was speaking deliberately, w'ith precision and conviction. He said , that he greatly favored the re i organization of the state govern ment into a cabinet system similar to that of the federal government. His argument was that it would be businesslike. “It wouldn't, though, affect very j much the function of the state ; board of higher education. It would remain practically un ; changed.” He had apparently eon I sidered all of the technicalities and wide-reaching effects of such a ! change, because he talked for | some time on just how the legis I lature would have to function and | what would happen to the many j state boards and commissions. He had all the information on tap. It is not enough to say of Charles Hall that he is a business executive, though. He is thor i oughly a gentleman, and it is the j natural thing to like him. Talk j ing with him, you could guess, if you did not already know, that he has a long list of activities and accomplishments behind him. ; WEEK - END FARE TO Portland ROUNDTRIP Tickets at this low rate are on sale Friday and Saturday, with return limit the following Tues day.
