They look so much alike the officials have difficulty in telling which one has defeated the other when they compete in the same events. People We’oe Those Fanniy Men on the Daily Blast They used to run the college paper. They were the ones who turned the journalism building into turmoil from early afternoon until late at. night grinding out their news stories in a frenzy of journalistic en deavor. They were the boys who posted violently threatening notices on the bulletin boards, promising dire fates to reporters who did not kick through with the goods, calling everybody from the humblest proof reader to the second assistant keeper of the morgue unquestionable uauics juol uu gcuciai piuaipco. “May we mention,” notices of encouragment to the staff flared scathingly from the news room bul letin board, “that there are dozen of schools on the campus which will take in people who can't write. How about some of you dopes changing your majors.” They were the boys who dashed around the campus frantically gathering news and came puffing in to whip it off on a typewriter while the air filled with blue smoke and little mounds of wastepaper accumulated on the floor around their feet. They were the boys who were self-sufficient journalists . . . who tolerated, rather than approved, the feminine touch of the young ladies who did their bit on the col lege paper. "Women . . . bah!” They said emphatically, “They mess things up. They get in our hair. In short, we don't want any.” And so, they went on in their narrow little world, putting out the Daily Blast with as little help from their femi line fellow students as possible. “Here,” they would say con descendingly, “Here’s a little easy aid head you can write, if you'll re very, very careful and take your time,” or, “Run along and get that story now. You do your best and we'll ;ry hard to be patient with you.” And so the college paper went ilong day after day in the same old rut until one day there came a revolution. Word was noised around that the women would put rut the Saturday edition that week. Everyone was all agog. The men were oh, so tolerant and magnani mous about it. "Go to it, girls,” they told the women gently, with just a tinge of scepticism. “Best of luck ” And they added inwardly, "We ll hope for the best. At least you can’t do much in just one day.” And so the girls “went to it.” At three o’clock Friday after noon they went to work quietly and efficiently. The reporters went out with utmost composure and came back calm and collected. Their stories sparkled with wit and bril liance, they made the deadlines right on time. Their copy was so clean that all the copywriters had to do was write heads. The heads were masterpieces of journalistic achievement. * The printers beamed with joy when the copy was brought to them, and the next morning the janitor smiled happily at the spot less condition of the shack, while all the readers greeted the edition with wild shouts of acclaim. The dean wrote a letter of praise, and 110 new subscribers were added to the paper’s list. And the following day all the male members of the paper's staff came around and begged the girls on bended knee to take over the management of the sheet from that day forth. ‘‘All we ask to do is help,” they said. “That's all we ask.” And so the girls took over the paper and let the boys work as their assistants, and the girls were happy, and the boys were happy, and the dean was happy, and the printers were happy, and the jani tor was happy, and the readers ers were happy. Everybody was happy. Oh yeah?

At present graduate work is done in departments. In the future there will be an opportunity for graduates to work on special problems or projects that are wider in scope than departmental work. “The degree,” says Dean Allen, who is an advocate for the new method, “has as high a standard as departmental degrees and will be | Track Records May (Continued from page one) to step lively to keep ahead in the eight*lap event. Others to Be Good Other events in which outstand ing times and distances are prob able are the broad jump, where Frank Lloyd of Oregon has already broken the meet record of 23 feet 6 inches; the shot and discus with the husky Bill Foskett and Dutch Holland of Oregon throwing; and the high jump, featuring Duane Ackerson, star Oregon State leaper. So far the strained arm of Elmer Koskella, javelin thrower, and the sprained right ankle of Frank Lloyd have not been put to test since their recovery, and it is not certain just what can be expected of them. Strength Balanced Oregon seems strongest in the middle distance runs and all field events except the high jump. The Beavers will be favored in the ' sprints and both the mile and two mile runs in addition to the high jump. Walter Hummel of Eugene will act as starter for the meet. The team Hayward has picked is as follows; 100-yard — Lloyd, Forbes and Schriver. 220-yard — Lloyd, Forbes, and Schriver. 440-yard -—- Schriver, Harrow, Carlson. 880-yard—Miller, Burkitt, Fix.

It will also make possible a more realistic approach to modern prob lems, the fact being that very few of them nowadays fall completely within the limits of any of the con ventional departments.” Rather than the work being di versified, it will stress unification. “We're going to insist on unity, but it's going to be a new kind of unity,” Dean Allen remarked. For example, research in the natural resources of Oregon will in clude work in the departments of history, economics, and geography. This degree work will give time and credit to those students who are interested in making studies in a special field of knowledge, who wish to explore a subject from many angles or who wrant to study a period of culture. Students must complete 45 hours work, nine of which will be devoted to the writing of the theme. Con ferences will be held with members of the committee in charge.
