This year's Junior Weekend prom ises to be especially enjoyable for the visiting guests, since an appreciable degree of peace characterizes the state educational front. Partly through the efforts of the Oregon mothers, dis sension in the high ranks of the state educational system has been settled, and Oregon's higer educa tion has taken a deep breath. We wish to extend a cordial welcome to the Oregon mothers and sincerely hope that the activi ties planned for their pleasure will find their favor. More than a 100 students have planned and worked hard during the last few weeks, in order that the campus may be at its best for the Junior Weekend. The mothers have a standing invitation for all the events the campus luncheon, teas and a recep tion, the water sports, the Junior Prom, the Mother’s Day banquet, and, the climaxing pageant, the “Stardust” canoe fete. Although Oregon mothers, and dads too, are welcome on the campus at any time, the pressure of books and classes permits but a little play during the year. Junior Weekend is a concentrated effort to make up for all that. In three days, cramped full of activities from morning till night, daughters and sons wish to say to their parents in their own way “we think you’re swell, and here’s a little something in return for your con stant giving. We realize it isn’t too much, but it’s our best, and we dedicate this campus tradi tion, the Junior Weekend, to you.” Because of president and vice-president com plications, the junior class got off to a late start with its Weekend this year, but it has worked well and admirably on the plans and deserves a vote of thanks from the student body. Even the playful Oregon weather has smiled on the efforts of the juniors and sent sunsfhine to dry the well soaked campus. To the juniors, congratulations; to the queen and her royal court, our bow; to the weather, thanks; and to the Oregon mothers a WELCOME! RESPECTABILITY OF THE STRIKE JI<’ there is anything more forlorn than a student body without teachers, it is a body of teachers without students. Very forlorn must have been the faculty of Washington State college yesterday when the 3200 students of that institution walked out in a mass demonstration against their dean ery's "blue law” regime. Workers, appreciating the chagrin of an em ployer without employees, found the strike an elective weapon of protest years ago, but it has received wide social sanction only within the last two or three decades. Its use has spread, with one protesting group after another delighting in its potency. *n # * f Just last year the militant femininity of an eastern city struck against the high price of meat and picketed shops until the butchers gave in. Not long ago students in an Oregon grammar school struck against the removal of a teacher. And a few week ago, when service workers in New York buildings went out on strike, society Women joined the picket lines with elevator oper ators, janitors, and charwomen, tjuite likely the last instance was just a stunt for notoriety on the socialites’ part, but it all goes to show that the strike has become respectable. It is not beyond probability that we shall see even university pro fessors out on strike some day. Whenever the mass of any group finds author ity unreasonably oppressive or unfair, the modern nostrum is a strike. Frequently the strike is mis employed, for in its essence it is mob action, easily started, yet hard to control. Often it has proved a tool of demagogery. But, for all that, the mere existence of such an instrument is well worth its dangers. * * * Any pronouncement on the strike at Washing ton State must be based on several considerations: are conditions at the college really as oppressive as the students aver in their protests; what ap peals were made to university authorities before the strike was called into effect; was there any reasonable proposal for a conference between faculty and students at which the difficulties could be ironed out ? But, if conditions are such as the students describe in their protests, if the administration actually polices the campus by such loathsome means as the use of “stool pigeons,” if restrictions on campus social life arc as narrow as it is re ported if all these complaints are true and the administration has stiil been unbending, then the students had every reason to walk out. For young men and women of college age don’t fancy being treated like grammar school kids. And who can blame them ? College days are not a period of suspended social animation. College students should live a normal active life, and they should be treated as the mature young men and women that they are. Miscellanything Being Stuff From Heah and Theah (Editor’s note: The following letter was writ ten to the editor of the Michigan Daily and concerns a topic much discussed on college cam puses all over the United States—hell week.) To the Editor: It has been with considerable interest that a number of us have read in the daily papers articles about Hell Week and the difficulties some of the national fraternity chapters are having in Ann Arbor. As one gets older he is apt to be more critical of the actions of younger people and although we speak of the “Men of Michigan,’’ at times you get the impression that the undergraduates are pretty much like school kids, with very little cultural background. To my mind, Hell Week, as far as it applies to fraternities, is unnecessary and a very foolish kid notion of trying to discipline freshmen. Practically all fraternities were founded on brotherly love, friendship and fairly high ideals and why any group should want to destroy the feeling on the part of the new members that they are joining something worth while, by acting like a lot of hoodlums, is beyond me. I know that when I was pledged and initiated into the Michigan chapter of Alpha Tail Omega that we had no Hell Week. The nearest, during all the time that I was in school, to such a thing was one night just prior to initiation when the entire chapter, with the new members, gathered in the living room and the freshmen were made to enter tain the rest of the chapter by either reciting, singing songs or doing various stunts, and being somewhat heckled in their efforts. This was a lot of fun and even though it might have been a little bit embarrassing to the per formers, there was nothing malicious about it and certainly no physical hazard or humility. As one representing quite a large group pf fraternity alumni from Michigan, we would be almost willing to go on record that any fraternity chapter in Ann Arbor or any other school that so degraded itself as to have a Hell Week, which the name implies, should be forthwith disbanded. Perhaps I am treading a little bit on my own chapter as it is constituted at the present moment, however, I do not believe so and do know that from a national standpoint, the Alpha Tan Omega fraternity opposes Hell week.

The Marsh Of Time By liill MurnIi Ciimi's il now 1h(“ lu'st |ir;i» tieal joke of the term. It seems that the phone in a local fraternity house gave forth ringing sounds at a late hour Wednesday night, anil a charm ing feminine voice chirruped, "Is Van Mollison there?” Almost at once it developed that Mollison \va there. So, un thinkingly, the young man went to the phone. “Yes?" he queried. The following conversation ensued, "Are you Van Mollison?” Mollison admitted that he was such. "Well, how would you like to have a date with me tomorrow night ?" Mollison quivi red. lie paused for breath, then ventured, "Sure tiling, Toots. What's our name?” "Dolores.” "Dolores what?” "Why Van, don't you remem ber Do'ores? Surely you re member me. how could you forget ?” Multi:- -.1.

Sticks it Mollison his . head out the window. “Hello," he chirrups in best picking-up baritone. "Are you Dolores?" “Dolores" acted coy. and did n't say anything. "Would you like to go on a party with us?" queries the Larson. And so it was done. Not until Dolores climbed into the car did the twin Romeos discover the deception.

We ll Lc aeomin’ doe.a \ec wo;, agiti as Report of the SAAC The University shall employ two or three specialists in voca tional adivee, who shall maintain offices in Eugene and Portland, as under plan number one, to advise as many students as possible before the opening of the school year. If necessary, these offices may be occupied only during the summer months. At the beginning of each term, the present advisory system shall operate, with additional time being allotted for conferences with lower division students. During the term, the advisors shall attempt to meet their advisees several times for informal consulta tion. It will be necessary that faculty members who have a vital interest in advising be chosen to make these contacts. The members of the faculty who assume these duties shall be rewarded. This may be done in several ways. The advisors shall receive increases in pay if they are expected to continue thir normal teaching and research loads, or they shall be relieved from a portion of their teaching hours. Exceptional advising jobs shall receive the same recognition as excellent pieces of original research work, or as highly-stimulating teaching. The business of advising shall be treated as a definite academic and scholarly field. (The com mittee believes that men qualified by human experience and warmth of personality for this position are as rare as exceptional teachers, and probably more difficult to find than men capable of doing acceptable research.) In connection with the problems of vocational guidance and academic adjustment in the lower division, the committee investi gated the advisory system of the upper division. There the com mittee found that it was the practice for most students to seek out the faculty members whom they most trusted for advice on personal, vocational, and academic problems, even though the formality of assigned advisors continued on into this period. The committee also found that upper division students made more frequent use of the opportunities for advice provided by the per sonnel division. The committee recommends that upper division students be left tree to choose their own advisors, and that they be encouraged to do so by the administration. The committee bslieves that the present system of upper division advice, if combined with the first proposal for the lower division, would adequately care for the problems of upperclassmen. It is the finding of the committee that some system of voca tional placement is needed by the University. Many seniors are completely ignorant of opportunities fur employment, and after graduation, drift into whatever work happens to appear. The gradu ating senior who wishes to continue his academic work, and needs some form of student aid, has no service available for use in this connection. Many students with one or two years of training are unable to secure work that will make it possible for them to return to school. There are at the present time a number of agencies doing placement work within the University. The committee recommends that, wherever possible, these agencies be coordinated with the division of vocational guidance and placement, and that the service be enlarged and equipped to carry on a program of placement for graduates, for summer work, and for advanced study. The committee report should not be considered in any seilpe a criticism of the work being done at present by the personnel division, the placement service, or the lower division advisors. The report is rather a proposal to extend the functions of those groups and implement them so that they may be more effective. The committee does not recommend the abolition of these services, but rather believes that their duties should be coordinated with and included in the division of guidance and placement. The committee realizes in making its proposals that the administrative details and coordinations must of necessity be determined by administrat ive officers who are better qualified to do so than is the committee.
