Most fraternities determine a required number of grade points, aver aging around 40, as the chief prerequisite for initiation. If the frosh makes his 40 he will become a Brother. If he hits 39 he will not. This system is generally unquestioned, yet it takes no con sideration of differences in the individual’s ability. One frosh chn slide through with 40 when he is perhaps capable of 60 points. Then, the fellow who missed by one point may not actu ally be able to hit much higher than that mark. Or variations in the weight of courses may make 40 points an entirely differ ent thing for one beginning student than another. The educator would undoubtedly have much fault to find with the policy of “grade driving” anyway, but if the system is to be used it ought at least to be worked out in some more intelligent manner. As an incentive to harder work this term, some groups will increase the hours of supervised study table. Fraternities seem to assume that study table is one of the “necessary evils.” It may be the only possible means of seeing to it that some fresh men study. But that does not give it enough reason for exist ence in the light of its disadvantages. It is extremely difficult for many students to get used to the idea of having a “nurse.” It has a disagreeable effect psychologically. And there is this important consideration—it prevents night work at the library where access to reserve books and reference material can be had. It checks development of any initiative and individuality in studying. There are other ways, surely, to see to it that the first-year students acquire the habit of applying themselves. If they cannot acquire it in the course of their own experience in college, they perhaps don't belong in a university. In meeting the freshman scholastic problem, Greek organi zations have shown great reverence for uniformity and tradition and little regard for actual facts. "Good Side of the Governor” \ NEW governor heads the state today. He will hold his of fice for four years. With a possible second term, he will be in a position to appoint eight of the nine members of the board of higher education. His influence on legislation concern ing the University will be tremendous. First impulse is normally that of getting on the good side of Governor Julius Meier. A graduate of the University, as chief executive of the state he ought to help the University as well as the State of Oregon considerably. We believe it a greater compliment to Governor Meier not to rush too hastily into paeans of joy and commendation as he outlines his program. Recognition of the importance of his of fice and of his duty to the state ought to come far in advance of a feeling of technical advantage. Frankly, we believe that the University has no such advantage. The University of Oregon along with the penitentiary and Oregon State college and the asylums and the normal schools have pleas and requests to lay before the legislature and the governor. They expect their pleas to be criticized, to be an alyzed. Only from such criticism and analysis can Governor Meier decide which of those problems laid before him are so pressing as to need immediate action. Perhaps all of them do. We feel that we would not lie playing fair with our own alumnus, the University’s first chief of state, if we dirt not leave ourselves fret .to subject his platform t.o our own criticism to decide for ourselves. We have no desire to get on the “good side’’ of the governor unless it be by the worth of our cause. We know that he asks the approval of the state to follow only upon recognition of the merits of his platform. A great ma jority of the voters have approved that platform, but the greater work lies ahead A great majority of the voters have approved higher education hut it. problems still lie before it. We feci that we compliment Julius Meier more, not by prais ing him as he takes office, hut by honestly evaluating lus plans. HV; He will then as honestly evaluate our pleas. Martha Washington has hail her head on a stamp for a long time, but it was removed last May to make way for that of former President Taft. Many women have protested by letter to the postmaster general that the only woman who has ever had a place on the stamp should not be removed. Women have a way. When Arkansas schools opened after the holidays, they found in effect the new state law requiring that every student in the public schools, from primary tc high school, shall hear ihe Bible read daily m the classroom Is that religious freedom)? Imagine Driving 50 Miles to Class; It s Being Done! J_JOW many college students, 1 would go to school if it meant driving over 30 miles to classes, and Saturday classes at that?

Clark, chair man of the history department; in education, from Nelson L. Dossing, professor of education; and literature, from Mrs. Mable Parsons. It seems, however, that so keen is the Silverton contin gent’s interest in things of schol arship, that the weekly pilgrim age to the city does not suffice. So Dr. L. S. ( ressman, professor of sociology, journeys weekly to teach a class in Immigration and Assimilation, quite in keeping with the regular migrations of the citizens.

A Decade Ago i Thursday, Jan. 13, 1921 The addition of several pieces of new equipment makes the Univer sity of Oregon press one of the most complete print shops which any university in the West can boast. * * * Gibes and Scribes, an issue put out by the editing class, for the benefit of visiting newspapermen, will be distributed at the Newspa per conference banquet Saturday. Smoke caused by taking a flash light picture of the library at night drove busy students away from their tasks last night. The picture, it is rumored, was taken for the purpose of showing the crowd ed condition of the library.

I seen her in the library reedin behind a big stack of books which was sittin in front of her. ’bliged, Wirt Wagon. Deer Wirt: We plainly see that what you need most of all is advice. We will start out by telling you, inasmuch as the policy of this column has always been a helpful one, how to ask a young woman for a date. There are several intricate points in this seemingly simple thing which, nevertheless, is an involved science. The first thing that you must learn, Wirt, is to never give her a chance to refuse you. Some of the cleverer ways of doing this are as follows: “Madame, would you like to go to a dance tonight?” “Why I’m sorry, I already have a date.” “You have me wrong, I merely asked if you would like to go. I’m going out of town, this week-end.” The above, Wirt, is perhaps the best, but the one below is also good: “Madame, do you like to attend shows?” “Yes, but I'm sorry, 1—” “Thank you, nmdaine, that’s all I wanted to know. I’m just gath ering data for statistics class.” Now that you have that mas tered, Wirt, you should start a conversation with the lady to lead up to the proposition. The best way is to first discover her name. The most successful way is as follows: Borrow a bi cycle, a Western Union cap, a pen Classified Advertisements Hates payable in advance. 20c first three lines; 5c every ad ditional line.
