ROTC Course At University Is Costly One Issue of Uniforms Less Than Previously Elimination of Waste and Theft Of Former Years Will Be Attempted Military education at the Uni versity of Oregon is expensive. f!o far this term, 339 basic and G5 of ficers’ uniforms have been issued This is 200 less than were issued three years ago, according to the records of Supply Sergeant Deeds. Investigation shows it was found that the total cost of an ordinary uniform is 910.69 complete. Offi cers’ uniforms cost more. Figues show that a total of $3,623.91 worth of basic uniforms that is now being put in use by students The uniforms are guaranteed to last two years but usually last much longer. The Oregon band, although un der the jurisdiction of the R.O.T.C., is furnished uniforms by the Uni versity. They are valued at $48 each. There are about 70 members in the band. Twenty-eight band instruments have been furnished by the government. Last year 78,000 bullets were used in marksmanship instruction. At $3.39 a thousand, this repre sents an output of more than $264. This ordinarily allowed each basic student 150 rounds of ammunition. The government economy program will give each future warrior 85 rounds for practice purposes. In view of this reduction, at tempts will be made to eliminate waste and theft W’hich occurred in past years. Other R.O.T.C. ex penditures include salaries, upkeep of the armory, compensation paid advanced students in military training, and miscellaneous items. SYUD HOSSAIN TO SPEAK AT STUDENT MEETING (Continued from Page One) to re-translate to influence Euro pean civilization. Jingoism Deplored The extreme nationalism spread ing over the world Hossain termed “good nationalism degenerated in to a mania.” The only cure he could suggest was “the very slow method of education.” As for freedom of the press— which has been outlawed and abol ished in Germany, Italy, and Rus sia—Hossain stressed it as an in tegral i part of good journalism. He pointed out that even in Amer ica the press is controlled, fre quently, by publishers and owners. The ideal journalist he character ized as a man of superb integrity who refuses to conform to policies against public welfare.

COMMITTEE NAMED TO REVISE JANITORS’ HOURS (Continued from Page One) possible for janitors to complete their duties before 3 o’clock in the afternoon, although several jan itors declared that it was possible to do this. Pallett said that two years ago he personally opposed a plan which would have put the jan itors on an hourly pay scale. “I did this because among the jani tors are many employees who have been faithful and diligent for many years and were entitled to consid eration," he said. Several janitors spoke at the meeting and informed the labor commissioner that the present 2‘„ hour layoff from 11 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. interfered considerably with the ready discharge of their duties. One janitor said that conditions in his particular building would not permit a very considerable reduc tion of hours, but all the others who took the floor said that the present hours are not satisfactory and should be changed. Most of the factions seemed sat isfied with the appointment of the arbitration committee. Those attending the meeting were surprised to find that Judge Harris, who had not been con cerned in the matter hitherto, had been invited by the administration to attend. Judge Harris is known to University students by his ac tivities in connection with the re cent Zorn-Macpherson bill contro versy. Old Photographs Of Early Campus Placed in Lobby Scenes depicting the University in early days were put on display yesterday in the lobby of the Eng lish reserve department in the li brary. They are photographs from an old album discovered recently in the registrar’s office and sent to the libe by Clifford L. Con stance, assistant registrar. Pictures of Junior Week-end ac tivities present an unfair view of the tradition to present-day stu dents. Groups of students and fac ulty members are shown doing va rious kinds of work about the cam pus, such as laying cement side walks. In the old days everyone took part in projects for the week-end, instead of only the junior class, as at present.

Pallett Makes Score Cards For Records Ratings of Students to Be Kept on File Probability of Graduation May lit' Predicted From Data Thus Secured By uro of a score card nsailc up of "4 factors cuch as high school record, index of general ability, units of preparatory subjects and : record made at the end of the first i term in the University, an ex i iremcly accurate prediction of a ! student’s probability of graduat ing can be made, it was announced here recently. The card was made up by Dr. Earl M. Pallett, regis i trar and executive secretary, and is the result of research he carried on while studying here for his de gree of doctor of philosophy. The results of the research have just been published in a bulletin entitled “Studies of Student Mor tality at the University of Ore gon,” and is one of a series on studies in college teaching. Factors Numerous Taking all factors on the card into account, Pallett found that students who rate below average on the score card at the end of their first term here have only one chance in 20 of graduating, while those who rate above have an “even break,” to get the coveted sheepskin, since half of them grad uate on schedule. The score card prepared by Pal lett contains such factors as age at high school graduation, age at University entrance, index of qual ity of preparatory work, index of general ability, predictive index, physical eamination raxting, abil ity to pass English entrance ex amination, units of English in high school, units of foreign lan guage, science, mathematics, so cial science and other subjects in high school, total hours passed and failed in University, total. hours of D, average grades, and student housing. Accuracy Tested Using the entering class of 1925 26 to show the accuracy of the score card, Pallett selected 50 students at random as representa tive of a class of 403. Of these, 81 per cent of the men scoring below average actually dropped out during the first two years, 15 per cent remaied for a longer tittle Scanning the Cinemas — MCDONALD “Broadway to Hollywood.' Eddie Quillan, Jimmie Durante, Madge Ev ans, Alice Brady, Jackie Cooper. Also “Charlie Chan’s Greatest Case," Warner Oiand, Heather Angel. COLONIAL “Hold Your Man," Jean Harlow, Clark Gable. Also "Jennie Gcr hardt,” Silvia Sidney, Donald Cook, Mary Astor. By J. A. NEWTON Here's Harlow, Boys That theme song of "Hold Your Man,” which is at the Colonial, is getting me down. But don't let that scare you away. College men, here's your chance to get even with the co-eds for enjoying Bing Crosby recently; feast your glims upon the beauteous Jean Harlow. “Jennie Gcrhardt" impresses one as an effort to follow “American Tragedy," which falls short. i A Great Trip I think I'm going to like “Broad way to Hollywood’’ for two rea sons. Jimmie Durante and Madge Evans are in . it. Durante’s bois terous, loud, and vigorous imbe cility is right up my alley. So is Evans’ sweetness and freshness. ("Spring song," please.) And about "Charlie Chan's Greatest Case," mysteries arc generally worth while. Charlie | Chan mysteries don't fall down, either. The only clue is the ra dium dial of a wrist watch in a I dark room. j but did not graduate, while only •! ■ per cent graduated, i Of the men who scored above average, 35 per cent dropped out during the first two years, 13 per cent withdrew at a later period without obtaining degrees, and 52 per cent graduated. The figures worked out nearly the same for the women of the class. The work shows that students can be rated on the basis of the score cards fairly accurately at the end of their first term in the University. These ratings can be valuable aids to those in charge of personnel work, it is pointed out. Students who score below average may have some trouble that can be corrected, while those above average may be aided to se lect studies that will make for greater success in college and in later life. Refinement Is Keynote Of Design for Oregana Refinement will be the keynote of design in the 1934 Oregana, says Ralph Schomp, art editor of the yearbook. Straight-lined sim plicity will replace the flourishing designs of former years, and more time will be spent in the artistic arrangement of the contents. A distinct feature of this year's book will be the predominance of local talent as depicted in the il lustrations, sketches, and art work. An original, signed etching by a local student will be a fea ture. The book will be built around a "campus” idea, and campus scenes and snapshots will be used throughout. ■ When you see Niagara Fallson the package, you KNOW you have Shredded Wheat. here’s Energy I FOLKS who pull a steady stroke in everything they do usually favor that natural energy food, Shredded Wheat.

Debate Meetings To Be Held Now at Scheduled Times Men’s Varsity Squad Will Meet Semi-Weekly to Carry Out New Forensic Plan The mcn’3 varsity debate squad will meet regularly on Monday and Wednesday evening at 7:30 in Friendly hall, according to an an nouncement made by directors of the speech division yesterday. Explaining the new arrange ment, the directors of speech point ed out that these semi-weekly meetings are necessary because of the new foren ;ic plan that is to be followed this year. According to further explana tion made by the speech division, “the debate squad this year, rath er tiian debate an abstract ques tion assigned by some committee or organization, will endeavor to find for discussion some issues that are of immediate interest to its audiences throughout the state. And its formulation will require on the part of the debaters an inten sive study of the economic and po litical situation in Oregon as re vealed through newspapers, pe riodicals, and contact with men who are endeavoring to effect so lutions.1' Ordinarily, debate squads have been assigned a proposition by some committee and have then proceeded to investigate and de bate the issue with no attempt to locate the trouble Now stress is placed upon the desirability of hav ing students themselves locate the issues, formulate the questions, and propose the solutions after dil igent study. “Patronize Emerald advertisers.” YOU CAN GET MORE FOR YOUR MONEY!
