One was that the federal survey report on higher education may be dangerous both to the University and higher education. The second was that President Hall, at the head of the University delagation to the state board of higher educa tion, meeting Monday, is determined in an effort to prevent major mutilation of the school’s curricula. The students were interested. Their lot had been to listen to rumors, to read conflicting estimates of the damage and the good wrought by survey and appropriation cut, to conjecture upon the attitude of the University officials. President Hall yesterday set before them the figures and facts of the crisis as clearly as he could before such a meeting. He announced his intention to support the better of the pro / posals and definitely to oppose those which he believes wil! be - harmful to University, college, and state. When the state board of higher education meets Monday, those arguments will be again presented—again with especial relation to the proposed transfer of pure sciences to Corvallis. The students may now realize the importance of the pro posals. They may now understand just what the changes might mean. While public opinion should have no effect on the deci sion of the board, it is true that many persons throughout the state have had little more than rumors and hints to listen to, themselves. As President Hall did a service to interested stu dents, so interested students may do a similar service to the state. Students, That Man'is . . . YITE can imagine a tinge of grayness creeping into our beard. ” ^ We can hear the chatter.of the young folks about the copy desk. They are laughing and happy, yet determined and intense “ in the execution of their duties. We think back over the days when we, too, were but an infirmary reporter. The days have been long and filled with joy and discomfort, but we have en joyed them, yes, enjoyed them to the fullest extent. •* Now—now our term is nearing an end. It is time for us to give way to the new that is what makes us feel so old. Yet really we, all of us, after four solid years, are merely beginning. We are like the chick that has pecked his way free from the shell and ready to face the light of the world! We ease from our chair with a light heart. Yes, an extremely light heart, because the man who is to take our place next fall is energetic, capable, dependable, and deserving. That man, f students, is Bill Duniway, the editor-elect. Cal Coolidge again: “Calvin Coolidge was suggested, perhaps seriously, as a dark horse candidate for the speakership.”— News item. What a blow, that someone might think the sug gestion a joke! Governor Meier thinks it a poor policy tc. allow convict.'? to manufacture the doors which will lock them in tlicit- cells. Pri vate industry should receive the contract, lie says, in view of the present depression. It is true, then, Unit the convict indus try is booming. With the marines in Nicaragua again, we ought to extend territorial privileges 10 the inhabitants. Let them elect a dele gate to Congress. j ♦ EDITORS HITHER AND YON ♦ COMMON SENSE IN CUTS Although Purdue university is one of the leading institutions of its kind in the country, there are certain phases of life about the university which seem both child ish and autocratic. When a per son gets to college, he is old enough to realize that what he makes of himself there is up to him, and do or say what he will, an instructor is not going to change a man unless he gets at * he man from the right angle. There are certain instructors and professors here who feel it their duty to watch over their stu dents much as a hen watches over her chicks. They refuse to allov a person a bit of freedom. Thi matter is most noticeable as re gards cuts and unexcused ab sences from class. Granted tha a person should feel that he is h attend u large portion of his sched uled classes, there are times tvhei he must be away, perhaps on busi ness that he feels need not meri an excuse. Offhand, there are two ways o looking at the proposition. If : student is up with the average ii his class, and wishes to take i period off. he should be ullowci to do so. Of course, this appjie to laboratory and drafting elusse: more than to recitations. So long as a man keeps up his work, he is not hurting himself, and surely he is not hurting the instructor, who is there to guide and not to guard. Then, too, if a man wishes to do a bit of outside work on the sub . ject, instead of in class, he will get as much out of it as if he were . to remain cooped up in the class room all period. Naturally, there can be a limit to which this theory should be fol lowed. One instructor never says a word about absences, merely re lying on a man's judgment. If the latter feels that he can do bet 1 | ter out of the class, he is free to ! do so. And the fact is not held ' against him. Conversely, there • ' are those who feel that a student ■ should be prevent every minute, with no extenuating circumstances which would allow a bit of free dom. Perhaps a mixture of the two would produce the better re . suit. At least, students are not prisoners. They have their fate in their own hands. They should know when they can miss a class • and not lose out for the semester, t —The Purdue Exponent. - 'l Physical Ed Sections To Give Demonstration As a special feature of the Ore gon State Physical Education as , sociation convention at Eugene • this week-end, E. R. Knollin’s r J physical ed class will give an ac j tivity demonstration for men in the men’s gym at 11:15 Saturday morning. Simultaneously, Russ Cutler will demonstrate apparatus activity with one of the general service classes. Events on the ac tivity program include speed roll ing, preliminary “warm-up” drill, athletic dancing, and tumbling. The complete class will participate in all the events. Teaching fac tors to be stressed in detail are the group assembly for demonstra- j tion and instruction and the squad | method for practice and correction j of individual faults peculiar to the individual. ft########### * “Will you help a poor fellow * * to a cup of coffee,” says a * '• tramp who has just wandered * * into the shack. “Unemploy- * * ed?” we query, as we count * " out 8 pennies for the forlorn, * s shabby looking individual. * * (Surely such a dismal portray- * * al of misfortune must be the * : suit of months of privation and * s starvation.) “Nope,” he mum- * * bles, scooping up our bounti- * !: ful contribution, “I’m a stu- * 6 dent here, and I've just finish- * i: ed paying my fees.

Pardon us * * while we dry our eyes! * ************ ir~ a* “Any Oregon woman can be up to-the-minute on what is right and what is wrong if she wishes,” said the Emerald yesterday. Gosh, that’s going to be a severe blow to i lot of the fellows on the campus. There is the consolation, however,, that the article said “IF SHE WISHES.” We aren’t going to try to define that crack. # * * LITTLE GAGA JUST FELL THROUGH THE WINDOW. TO MORROW’S EMERALD WILL CARRY HEADLINES TO THE Professor.... <* Quack Quack Bureau. t SEE ALL! KNOWS ALL! TELLS NOTHING! Dear Professor Quack, I am a student at the University of Oregon, and occasionally, though at very infrequent intervals, my brain becomes stimulated by cur rent questions of the day. Now for a long time I have been bothered by a very serious problem, and realizing its importance in the sphere of my existence, I am here by writing to you for the solution to the question. Please, Professor Quack, will you explain to be the theory of relativity? Yours in confidence, —Oswald Binsingford. My Dear Oswald, The theory of relativity, I am glad to say, has been brought up at this time, for it is my belief that no other time could have been more opportune. Now, in the ex planation of the theory, let me proceed by an illustrative, yet sim ple example. Suppose someone dropped a red hot rivet, from the I* tenth story window of an apart ment house, down your back. Well, the result would be relatively the same were someone else to drop a red hot rivet, from the second story window of a department store, down your back. I hope I make myself clear. Relativity is also a word applied to the unfor tunate man who marries a wife with several relatives. When he has had to support her entire fam ily for several years he’ll eventu ally go crazy and shoot himself. The coroner will then report him as suffering from relativity. Relativity is my dish, Oswald. In fact I am one of the three men in the entire world who can give you a true interpretation and ex planation of the theory. I am one of those few men whose answer you can rely on. I admit I know nothing about it. Hoping that I have solved the difficult problem, I remain, — Professor Quack Quack. -!- -it Cl assified "Advertisements Kates payable in advance. 20c first three lines; 5c every ad ditional line.

One day her housemama asked her to take a basket of explosive gin to her dear old foreign language teacher who lived far away, on the Kther side of the graveyard. Now little Red Riding Hood, although she was a Tri Delt, was a helpful little girl, and therefore, hanging the basket on her arm and smack ing her lips with gusto, she picked up her heels and tripped lightly to wards the graveyard. She had no sooner reached there than sudden ly a great big wolf, without warn ing, jumped in front of her. “Oh, [ know who you are,” lisped Little Red Riding Hood. “You're a Sig ma Nu.” “Don’t be silly,” said the wolf. “Give me that gin!” “Now, t KNOW you’re a Sigma Nu,” gig gled Little Red Riding Hood, and thereupon she took a bottle out of the basket and gave the wolf a long, invigorating drink. Suddenly he gasped and dropped the bottle. "Mother, mother,” he shouted joy ously, throwing his arms about in a swan-like manner, “I’m to be queen of the may! Oh mother, I’m an Ally OOP, poop poop a doop!” And, going into a spring dance, he skipped'fairy-like out of the grave yard. Thus did Little Red Riding Hood get rid of the wolf, and save a lot of energy for the foreign language department. And that, dear little chilluns, completes our bedtime story for tonight. The moral is quite clear. Wolves are GOOD FLORIST WE are proud that we are pri vileged to display the emblem of the So ciety of American Florists—an honor accorded only to flor ists of integrity and responsibility.

(Not a pun.) ’EAR AND ’AIR Should Freshmen Be Com pelled To Choose a Major? “No, I don't think they should. I think they should wait until their second year because, unless they have stayed out a year and worked, they aren’t able to decide just what they do want for a major, and an extra year in the Univer sity would give them a chance to decide.”—Helen Binford, freshman in social science. MS * • 8»! “No, I don’t think so because the majority of freshmen have no idea of what the want as their ma jor and if they do decide upon one they usually change their mind be fore they have finished school.”— Carroll Watson, junior in business administration. * * * “No, I don't think they should because so many of the freshmen come to school with no established idea of what they want for a ma jor and after a year in the Uni versity it is easier for them to de cide definitely.”—Lindy Hango, freshman in music.
