Hobby Groups Introduced at Ceods’ Party Dean Schwering Talks On Philomelete and Its Aid; Girls Greeted By Martha Stewart About one hundred girls were entertained by Philomilete, hobby group organization, at a party held in the AWS rooms in Oerlinger hall Sunday evening. The rooms were decorated with balloons and colored streamers. Singing of Oregon songs, and a short program consisting of a skit by the charm group and short talks by hobby group leaders was presented and refreshments were servel. Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean of women, gave a brief re sume of the founding of Philo milete, and its worth to girls inter ested in campus activities. Girls Given Welcome Martha Stewart, president of Phi Theta Upsilon, junior women’s service honorary, welcomed the girls, and told them how to get in touch with the particular group that interested them. Elisabeth Stetson, chairman of the hobby groups, was in charge of the meeting and acted as master of ceremonies for the program. She was assisted by members of Phi Theta Upsilon. Hobby group lead ers are Margaret Goldsmith, charm school; Frances Olsen, drama; Kay Staples, travel; Julianne Fortmil ler, art and music; Ora May Hold man, prose and poetry; and Jane Weston, recreation. All girls who are interested in these hobby groups are urged to get in touch with the leader of that group, or with Elisabeth Stetson. College Should Be (Continued from pni/c one) cooperation in the joint processes of learning between faculty anil students. There too often exists an attitude of conflict between the faculty and the students rather than that cooperative spirit which should prevail. Students are not here to justify faculty jobs, but both are here for the joint enter prise of learning'. Third, an effort should be made to treat students as adults, and, insofar as possible, responsible people. At the present time, in manv of our institutions, one can not turn around without running into some sort of administrative regulation. The college or univer sity becomes a substitute for par ents and is expected to do what the parents have failed to do. Rea sonable guidance is one thing, and useless coddling is quite another and definitely detrimental. The in stitution tends to under-emphasize our students’ maturity, while the students tend to over-emphasize their own sophistication. There is a wide field for the development of students' exercise of discipline which might be exploited. No Grades on Quizzes Fourt, and this is the point up on which I should like to be most emphatic a system of quizzes should be developed that would not be, either for the student or the faculty member, a device for as signing so many i n d i v i d u a 1 s grades. I should like to see quizzes given that would be corrected, but not graded. The questions would RATERNITY tOU4<E<£ tlCWfiCRr lmisTows <>120 Willamette I ws* - Ileavy Fines Levied On All Overdue Fees; Thursday Deadline All installments are due on fees, special fees, and out-of state fees Thursday, February 25 by 3 o’clock in the registr ar’s office.

In that way the quiz is made a definite study help, rather than a combination device of a statisti can, a devil, and a Torquemada. There would be a complete change of emphasis with the change in function. Even if the business of the University is to educate, it is not necessarily com pelled to classify its students with reference to one another, or on some hypothetical or relative scale of efficiency. At the present time, because most of our institutions endeavor to do this, the real teach ing function of the quiz or exami nation is lost sight of and becomes simply a rather diabolical device which causes misery to students and instructors alike. Hating System False It is obvious, of course, that some decision has to be made whether to advance students from a certain class or decide whether a student is fitted to enter some professional school. Such ends as these can be determined much bet ter by comprehensive examina tions at the end of sophomore and senior years, rather than by any of the devices we now use, and the false rating value now in use would be avoided. This function of the quiz as a study help, which it is supposed to be now, but isn't, would give rise, it seems to me, to an entirely different attitude on the part of students from that which now exists. In tiie graduate school of Col umbia university, when I was there, no grades wore ever given. A student was either given a '‘passed” or “failed,” and his right to receive the doctorate rested up on his oral and written examina i jtions, which were comprehensive in nature, and the quality of his I thesis. I am convinced that to correct our present unsatisfactory situa tion efforts must be made along the lines of these suggestions, which could be greatly amplified. Their realization would restore the university to its original functions and dignity. Coburg Hoopers (Continued from f'trur three) set-up but got the ball again as his teammates took it off the backboard and pushed home a one handed pivot shot to make it 2(5 to 24 for Coburg. Then L. Fox of the Pansies knotted the score sheet again with a long howitzer from the left side line. With ten seconds to play, Coop er was fouled and had two shots. He missed the first, the second rolled nround the rim and dropped in, winning the game. Both Coburg and Thurston will enter the district playoff for B teams at Albany March 4, 5, and 6. and if successful there one of them will enter the state tourna ment two weeks later. Mohawk s lassies captured the Kiris' B league crown with a crush ing 42-to-23 triumph over Oak rklge, the defending champion. The boys' consolation title was won by Pleasant Hill, which edged out Oakridge, 23 to 21. (Jet a shake at TAYLOK’S.—adv. Fair and Warmer!

Olympic Pictures To Be Presented ASUO Members Will See Official Games Movies March 2 in McArthur Complete and official AAU pic tures of the 1936 Olympic games will be presented free to ASUO members March 2 in McArthur court at 8 p.m., Ralph Schomp, university activities manager, said yesterday. Negotiations between Avery Bnindage, president of the Ama teur Athletic union, and Schomp for a showing here of the only films allowed to be taken of the games were revealed after a letter from Brundage was received granting use of the films. Highlights of the pictures in clude the American team going over on the boat, the opening cere monies, the raising of the Ameri can flag, and Hitler in his box opening the games. Closeups of the contests will show Jesse Owens, U. S. champion of the 100 and 200 meter sprints, and the broadjump; Jack Medica swimming; the gruelling race be tween Glen Cunningham of the U. S. and Jack Lovelock, of En gland in the 1500 meter run. Total length of the films will be an hour and a half, Schomp said. Idaho Leads tconrtnuca from pai/e three) The first overtime was full of shots but all were missed and it ! saw no score. In the second over time Mallett of Coburg gave his team a lead with a lay-in, only to see the count knotted as Huffman of Thurston dribbed half the length of the floor to score. Cooper of the winners foozled a ary advantage. The count was still knotted with two and a half minutes remaining when big Ed Loverich applied the well known Husky heat by dropping two quick field goals and a gift toss. The "Huskies held to their slim lead to the end, stemming a furi ous but futile attack in the clos ing minute. Loverich and Bob Egge led the Husky scores with 12 counters each. Don Johnson sparked the Vandal attack with nine. The two teams meet again to night in the final contest of their four game series.
