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

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.

of the upperclass commission of
the Y.W.C.A. this afternoon at 3

“What do we do after we graduate,
if we haven't a job?”
Sub-topics to be introduced by
Casteel are based around such
questions as “Are educational sys
tems preparing us for life as well
as a vocation?” “How can we- be
come financially independent?”
"What does the economic system
do in regard to marriage?”, and
“Is more schooling what we
want?”
Geraldine Hickson, president of
the upperclass commission, urges
all upperclass women to come to
this particular meeting to take
part in the series of discussions.

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.

Scenes depicting the University

to the libe by Clifford L. Con

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

i Of the men who scored above

during the first two years, 13 per

worked out nearly the same for

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.

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.
