Assistant managing editor Clair Johnson Lew Evans Night editors Assistant Night Editors Bob Jolly Mary Kay Booth Wen Brooks Culture Plus Practicality 'piIE unquestioned need for the inclusion of more practical courses in the University’s curriculum is emphasized again in the dis cussion of invaluable and valuable courses printed in the adjoining column. Students at the University of Kansas find themselves in a situation similar to that of many Oregon students. They realize their University attendance has broadened them culturally, hut has left them weak in practical ability. There can be no questioning of the value of the cultural courses. Certainly if a univer sity is going to maintain and better its place of contributing towards man’s development, cultural courses should continue to be in the majority. However, courses which provide 1 he actual tools to work with can well play their part in the school's curriculum, too. * * * AN Oregon taxpyer sends his child to the University for schooling. As part of its service to the stale, the University should not only turn out a well-educated person with an understanding of arts, letters, and the liner tilings, hut also one who can make his way in the world. The University is doing an excellent job of part of its responsibility. The school has Established itself as a leader in cultural fields. Also in many of the professional schools stu dents are being prepared to face the practical side of life when they are graduated. But. much remains to be done in Various depart ments. These departments are doing splendid ly with the courses now in the curriculum. But more needs to he done. # «■ # yk typical example is the business adminis tration school. Faculty anil students there rank favorably with the rest of the campus. But many of the students are not getting the actual tools they will need to work with later. Typing, stenography, and ma chine work are essential elements of the busi ness world today. These courses arc not avail able now. True, students can learn such things in high school or business college. Nevertheless, there are many of them who wish such courses here, ('ertainly these students should be given the opportunity to pursue studies which they know will he instrumental in the all-important task of getting a job later on. nr HERE would l)o no net'll oL’ giving those courses a large part oin the eurrieuluin. The cultural side of the University would not have to suffer in the least. The entire school would henetit from such an addition. Inclusion of such courses in the business administration school, and of similar ones in other departments, would certainly seem a wise step for the curriculum makers. Their job is to administer Oregon’s higher educa tion in a manner best calculated to serve the people of the state over a long period of time. This would he one method of achieving that end. Culture plus practicability would make for progiess. Boost Oregon Now J.MMERIATE action on the organization of a committee to carry on “Roost Oregon" work over the summer is imperative. .Instigated b\ Alumni Secretary Elmer (\ I'aiiscll. the l niversilv of Oregon Federation lias already been corresponding with poten tial students. Faculty members and various living groups have cooperated with this work in excellent style. More than l.OUU high "-i-Hot>I and preparatory school students who are think of matriculating at the Fuivcrsity next fall have been contacted. This work must be continued. Virtual ‘‘rushing of prospective students, as far .is presentation ot the l niversity s advantages and good points goes, should be kept up. ■It is to the advantage of everyone concerned. Action presumably rests with the inter fraternity council. President Ed Ucamcs ha already expressed his desire to see some type of a Greater Oregon committee assume form immediately. Other student leaders speak of its necessity. Tonight’s meeting of the coun cil would seem a logical time for organization 1o start. The council has shown its ability to accomplish other needed work Here is another worthwhile job to get underway. I’an-hellenic and the interdorm council can be expected to cooperate once action is started. A Warmer Welcome f AST Saturday deans of {'iris and leading high school girls of schools throughout the northwest were guests of the I 'diversity. The visitors were taken on lours through the campus, and were offered the use of many of the University buildings. A group of Uni versity girls were put in charge of the various events of the day, and two honorary societies were delegated to act as hostesses. The visitors were extended a courteous, hut rather indifferent welcome, for, though many ol the girls delegated to meet and entertain tlie visitors made every effort to make their visit a pleasant one, others were unenthus iastie and failed to offer their cooperation. A lack of intacrest, and most of all of local organization, were evident, with the result that though the University had an excellent opportunity to present its attractions in the best light, there was none of the warm friendli ness shown that might have impressed many women and girls who perhaps have had no other contact here. * # «T ^UCll an occurrence only stresses the need for a faculty committee, organized to meet these situations as they arise, and to make every effort to present the University in its best light to any group or person who may visit, the campus. For these situations need tin organization and efficiency that only a facul ty committee can give. Uast week s conference served to show where the weakness of University hospitality lay. There was a generous offering of Univer sity facilities—but the personal contact, the welcome extended from the University itself, was lacking. Too much responsibility was ,]<‘lt up to the individual efforts of a few girls who were without the authority to represent the University, and. as such, to organize a real welcoming group. a # # ^JpillS weekend the slate high school meet will be held on the campus, at which sev eral hundred boys from schools all over Ore gon "'ill gather. They will receive, in man1/ eases, their ,'irsl impressions of the Universilv, and will be impressed by the type of hospital ity extended them. These visits of high school students to the campus are important for these boys and girls are the college students of the future. An organized, concerted attempt to wel come them would be worth while. A faculty committee to meet the situation might form the start ot a group that would not only solve this week's problem, but would function for many weeks to come. •Mrs. Franklin I >. Roosevelt suggests an eight-hour day for housewives. A tine idea, hut about as practical as a similar one for college students. i Miscellany INVALUABLE COURSES vs. UNVALUABLE COURSES Frequently around the campus we hear sug guestions for much-needed and beneficial courses which the University is not offering. Upon investi gation the answer to the absence of many of these subjects in our curriculum is the fact that these courses are too professional. Educators seem to sneer on anything that seems to be actually train ing college men and women for a definite place in the business world. Yet with the era of prosperity returning to the American people, prospects ot jobs for college sen iors are brightening. The employers, however, are not merely clamoring for the average college graduate, but are seeking seniors who have been trained in a technical field and are prepared to enter a. definite line or work. True, many com panies are offering a brief period of schooling for new employees in order to educate them in the framework ot the business, but a few mouths' training comes only to those who have been suffi ciently coached in a particular field. Universities should enrich students’ cultural background and also offer college students the knowledge they will need to know in the business world. Smatterings of Greek and history are ill right foi filling groups, but they do little to aid the student applying for a position in a specialized field. Courses which would be of invaluable aid in the world have loo long been delayed Profes sional or not. they should be offered. — Daily Kansan.

I Lucy Gcosy’s Body M older in g In Cold Grave The last barrier is down. The pack is on in full cry, a cry of revenge. The poor remnants of Lucy, the Green Goose, were found re posing back of the Phi Sig house. Lucy, her poor neck shoved back where he heart ought to be, her poor head sagging, glassy eyes staring out of the watersoaked torn head, could scarcely wag her tail. According to the Green Goose staff, it looks as though the kid nappers had knocked her down, then beaten and kicked her until it will take a pound of nails, a year's subscription of papers, and 1 at least two apple boxes to put back in shape. But the last restraint is taken off, and the editors are ready to really blow the lid, they say, in one grand series of scandal. Page one, third column from the right, they whispered confiden tially.
