4Get-Wise’ Party
Reveals Life on
Oregon Campus
Honoraries, Publications, Hobbles
Personified in Program
Before 300 Women
About 300 women “got wise”
last nighty when a panorama of
campus life at the University of
Oregon was presented, by means of
a “radio and television” idea, at
the annual “get-wise” party for
new women students, given this
year by Kwama and frosh council
lors, with Henriette Horak as gen
eral chairman.
The program consisted of four
acts, each displaying a different
phase of college life: honoraries,
publications, hobbies and sports,
and manners and clothes. Between
the acts were special features and
dancing. Cider and doughnuts
were served.
Groups Present Skits
In the first act, the presidents
of women's honoraries gave short
verses about the purpose of their
organizations, at the same time
holding up large drawings of their
pins.
A burlesque of the customary
scene in the Emerald news room
made up the publications act. With
Roberta Moody as managing edi
tor, an imaginary Emerald was as
sembled, the banner headlines
stating that women's hours had
been made later, 12:16 instead of
12:15.
The presidents of the five Philo
melete hobby groups sang, to the
tune of “We’re in the Money,” their
purposes and activities. Each girl
was dressed in a costume repre
sentative of her group.
To the melody “Oregon Our Al
ma Mater,” a sports parade
marched across the stage, each
girl dressed to represent a certain
sport, and reciting a line or two
apropos to that sport.
The right and the wrong way to
dress was demonstrated in a fash
ion show. A correctly dressed
girl followed an incorrect one be
hind the footlights, each model
being described by a short verse.
Corsages Given Leaders
Between acts, Hazel P. Schwer
ing, dean of women, and Marygolde
Hardison, frosh councillor chair
man, were presented with corsages
from the freshmen women. Hen
riette Horak, general chairman of
the party, was given a corsage
from her co-workers.
Assisting Miss Horak in the
plans were Ebba Wicks and Adele
Sheehy, with Marygolde Hardison
(’Continued on Page Three)
‘that regular University procedure
could be clarified by the introduc
tion of the change.
In presenting the resolution,
Wayne L. Morse, dean of the
school of law, declared: “Those of
us who are seeking to clarify the
prerogatives cf the faculty and
the relations of the faculty to the
chancellor and the board are not
asking for a right to run the Uni
versity, but we are asking for the
right to have a voice in the run
ning of the University.”
The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
Text Presented
Full text of the resolution is as
follows:
“WHEREAS section 35-4707 of
the Oregon Code 1930 provides in
part that *. . . the president and
professors constitute the faculty
of the University, and as such
shall have the immediate govern

students therein. . . . The faculty
shall also have power, subject to
the supervision of the board of
regents, to prescribe the course of
study to be pursued in the Univer
sity’ and
“WHEREAS curricula changes
have been inaugurated without
reference to and consultation with
the University faculty, now there
fore
“BE IT RESOLVED That hence
forth all proposals for the estab
lishment or discontinuance of Uni
versity schools, departments, cur
ricula, degrees, and requirements
for degrees shall be submitted to
the Academic Council for consid
eration, report and-or recommen
dation to the general faculty. The
faculty shall transmit its affirma
tive recommendation through its
secretary to the University admin
istration for presentation to the
Board of Higher Education, and
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
That proposals to establish new
courses, to change the hours of
credit in established courses, to
suspend courses, to revive sus
pended courses, or to change the
numbering of courses in such a
way as to change the status of
upper or lower division courses, or
to abrogate established courses
shall be acted upon by the minor
faculty or faculties concerned. Tho
actions taken by such minor fac
ulty or faculties shall be reported
to the Academic Council which in
turn shall act and report to the
general faculty. Affirmative rec
ommendations by the general fac
ulty shall be transmitted by its
secretary to the University admin
istration for presentation to the
Board of Higher Education.”
Remarks Added
A list of explanatory remarks
(Continued on Pajc Pour)
Education Declared Geared
To Students With Low Ability
A blunt declaration that the ed
ucative process at the University
of Oregon is “geared to the low
ability students and is chiefly con
cerned with imparting information
as a method of instruction and
amassing information as a method
of learning” is contained in a bul
letin just, issued under the spon
sorship of the University commit
tee on improvement of college
teaching. The study, which was
prepared by Dr. Ralph W. Leigh
ton, executive secretary of the
University bureau of research, is
entitled “Studies to Determine
Relative Achievement of Students
at Different Potentiality Levels.”
The educational scheme, it was I
pointed out, "is not concerned
enough with what the students
can do with that information.”
The Bulletin is the result of an
intensive study made at the Uni
versity, during which records of
students and results of various
methods of teaching were thor
oughly investigated.
Wider use of methods of teach
ing such as honors courses, segre
gation according to ability and
comprehensive examinations, so as
to give superior students more op
portunity to gain a broader and
and at the same time more effi
cient education are strongly urged
in the bulletin.
‘‘The state university should
clearly recognize that it has two
types of students to deal with and
it needs to translate its ultimate
goals into terms of learning habits
which lead to the particular type
of development desirable for each
of those types of students,” Dr.
Leighton say.4. ‘‘One goal may be
characterized as the stabilizing
development of one group who will
form the background of society.
The other goal should be the de
velopment of intellectual leader
