Missed, But Hit
CHARACTERIZING t lie recently published
interfraternity council handbook as miss
ing the point entirely, the Eugene Register
Guard suggests editorially that more essential
and more interesting activities should be in
cluded in the booklet.
The importance of the editorial, published
in the adjoining column, is not in its criticism
of the council (if such criticism is even in
tended), but in the direct bearing the com
ment has on the University’s program.
# # #
S cited yesterday by Dean James II. Gil
bert, and as many other faculty leaders
have declared, the crying need of the Univer
sity is an arrangement whereby campus visi
tors and citizens of the state are actually
“told'’ about the school, its greatness, and its
many accomplishments.
Certainly, the University still needs many
additions to achieve true greatness. Dean
Wayne L. Morse, in his recent New York
speech, outlined part of a constructive pro
gram that may well be followed. Not only
must pure science be offered once more, but
other practical courses need working in with
the extremely valuable cultural program.
There is still much to do along those lines.
However, progress is being made, and it is
the hope of University leaders that such addi
tions will be made in due time.
# # * •
T^EGARDLESS of these additions, the Uni
versity ranks high as a school. Educators
realize it. Students here realize it. faculty
member realize it. The editor of the Register
Guard realizes it. But many otlfler people
vitally concerned do not. The University does
need “selling'' ol its good points.
It is doubtful whether funds are available
at present for a paid chairman of the .type
of promotional committee suggested by Dean
Gilbert. However, every effort should be
made to obtain the necessary finances as soon
as possible.
In the meantime, much can be done. The
primary need is for some centralized author
ity to be responsible for such work. A perma
nent faculty committee to supervise and aid
students in such procedure seems the logical
answer.
# #
fit'll a committee, in charge of “welcom
ing guests, and in charge of carrying on
as much ' selling" of 1 be University \s achieve
ments as possible, should be appointed at once.
Even at this late date they could help mater
ially in working with students on the week
end program tor the entertainment of hun
dreds of visiting high school track boys.
In the luture the members would ill ways
be available for initiating and directing such
reception work. They would be ;>n hand
permanently to help work out worthwhile
promotional plans, until remuneration is avail
able lor a full-time man in this work:

rJ'\llh intortruternity council may have
mis.M'i! the point outirelv. If limy did so
it was a natural intorost in promoting tlioir
wcllare as well as the l uivorsitv s,
In missing the point, however, the booklet
hit dirootl\ on a fundauiontal weakness of iho
I 'nivorsitv \ present program wliioh should be
remedied immediately.
President (\ Valentino Hover plans to eou

action on the plan, so that Oregon could he

l niversity, hut a truly great I'niversity, too.
Meet The Victors
'J'lIlS fighting Oregon baseball team, with
five victories in a row up north, certainly
ought to provide’ plenty of spirit and enthu
siasm tor Wehfoot fans to talk about.
A rally meeting at the train Friday would
be only a small measure of appreciation.
Need more be said?
Three Times And Out
AS a fitting climax to four years of higher
education, the University’s seniors are
scheduled for three final examinations before
they (receive their much-coveted sheepskin
and degree.
Although these affairs are full of ceremony
and showmanship, every effort lias been made
by Advisor Dean Gilbert and the administra
tion to make them not only of interest but of
practical value to the graduating students.
Carefully selected speakers will provide
intellectual meat well worth digesting by the
senior preparing to leave his small University
whirl and enter into a completely different
outside world. Program arrangements have
been made so that efficient handling vviil
eliminate boring pauses and unnecessary
delay.
rJ''JIE luncheon Saturday, May 2!), will pro
vide opportunities to meet old and rocen
alums. The alumni office is preparing a swift
moving program full of interest. The meal i.
l'ree to seniors, with only cap and gown dres:
required.
Baccalaureate Sunday, May ‘50, will read
a new peak for interest this year. It is sei
for eight in the evening instead of the morn
ing. Eugene churches are cooperating by dis
missing services. The speaker, Rev. .1. Iludsoi
Ballard, is not only well-known for his cap
ability, but for his brief pungency. Dean (lil
bcrt has planned a program less than one lioui
in duration.
Required attendance for seniors at Com
meneement on Monday, May 31, will indeei
be well-justified. This is the last formal cere
mony for the senior. Speaker Clyde B. Aitch
ison is a nationally known figure. A new
system of marching has been initiated so that
delays and confusions are avoided.
# * #
ERYTHING has been done to make these
three occasions long-remembered eventf
ul’ great importance. The administration lias
done its part. The next move is up to the
seniors. Sometimes an indolent non-interest
has characterized their reception of these
affairs in their honor.
“Three times and out” is a Idlmt way ol
stating the program of events left before
graduation. But whole-hearted cooperation in
spirit and attendance will make the luncheon.
Baccalaureate, and Commencement things
never forgotten by those participating.
Miscellany
MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY
Nice but riot likely to be very effective with a
great many young people who are planning to
enter some college next fall is the booklet published
by the Interfraternity Council. It shows a great
many pictures of the handsome fraternity and sor
ority houses on the University of Oregon campus
and supplies some information as, to living costs
and interesting activities but it fails entirely to tell
what is most important the rich offerings the
University of Oregon presents which will help any
young man or woman to find a useful and profit
able career.
Business the major work to train for any
phase of business is offered by the School of Busi
ness Administration.
Law the University of Oregon law school is
the leading law school of this state and one of the
highest ranking schools in the country.
Medicine pre-medical training for the Univer
sity of Oregon Medical School, one el' the six great
medieal schools in the country, is a vital part of
the curriculum.
Journalism the major work in preparation for
every branch of newspaper, magazine or literary
work is heie, and ttie sehool is a recognized leader.
Education The major work to prepare for the
teaching profession is offered here.
Art the major art school of the state is here
and the school, recognized by the Carnegie Founda
tion as one of distinction, has been designated
among all the art schools of the Pacific Coast foi
special support.
Architecture and landscaping- the major school
of architecture in the state is here.
Arts and letters major work in the state is
offered here.
Political and social sciences major work i
conducted here by a distinguished faculty.
Music Oregon s major school of music is on
the University campus and its distinction in the
field is recognized.
Physical education outstanding on the Pacific
t'oast is the major school at the University and
with its new and complete plant it is offering new
opportunities in this rapidly growing field.
faculty the University faculty lists many men
and women of national and international reputation
and much might be said on this subject
After all. most students still come to the t'ui
versity for education, and though fraternities and
sororities play a useful and important part in mak
ing life pleasant and comfortable, they are only
part of the comprehensive system of dormitories
and cooperatives developed here Most of Oregon's
students are partly or entirely self-supporting and
the employment office imdet the able direction of
Janet Smith is doing a remarkable work of guid
ance and aid.
If booklets arc necessary to .implement the dry
and often bewildering pages of the state i italogue.
something should be said about what the Univer
se icatly offers. Oregon s young men and women
do not need to travel tar for broad and progressive
education. The schools of this state rank with the
best, and for those who plan to hve and work in
Oregon, there is a definite advantage in the asso
ciations formed here. Eugene Register-Ouurd.

No Gardenias
Rumor Causes
Men to Protest
Contrary to the beliefs of men
who have been dated for Mortar
Board that the florist should call
them and inquire what they are
wearing, women continued yes
terday to order gardenias for
their dates' lapels.
AWS has taken over the task
of sponsoring the drive in «the

as representative.
Men at desserts last night
voiced a protest against some of
their women who were not going
to send flowers. “Here we have
s^ent nearly .$100 this year for
dinners, food, dancing, and espe
cially corsages. We feel that our
women can send us at least one
flower during the year."

by Dr. Taylor, Dr. I,. F. Beck and
whoever takes the place now filled
by Calvin Hall. The course in gen
eral psychology which is now
taught by Dr. H. It. Crosland will
be presented in the traditional
manner.
This course in mental hygiene is
in the nature of an experiment. Dr.
Taylor said it would be tried out
next fall and if changes were need
ed to make it a better course, they
would certainly be made.
Dr. Taylor went on to say: "In
general, members of the psychol
ogy department do not believe that
a great deal of self-analysis is a
desirable thing. What we do be
lieve is, that understanding the
psychological principals involved in
making normal or sound adjust
ments. with some insight into
causes of undesirable habits of
thinking and acting that lead to
unsatisfactory adjustments,are im
portant."
The committee appointed by
President Boyer to organize i

Dr. Furrer Warns of
Need for Soap, Water
Dr. E. D. Furrer, Eugene physician, last night addressed the mem

of Parasitology.”
The whole subject is misunderstood he said, and the fact that para

healthful living conditions of humans.
"If it weren’t for soap and water,” Dr. Furrer said, "all of us would

Autopsies from the principal
cities of the United States would
indicate that over 10 per cent of ,
the population is suffering- from
parasites of some kind. In Eugene
alone from 12 to 20 cases of ma
laria are reported each year, while
hook worm, trichinosis, syphillis,
and typhoid make the problem of
parasites dangerous indeed, he said.
By boiling fresh vegetables that
have been grown in truck gardens
with the aid of human excrement,
by cooking meat so as to kill para
sites that have lodged in the tis
sues, by refusing to swim in rivers
which have faulty drainage, and by
observing decent rules of sanita
tion, the problem of parasites, and
the diseases which they cause,
would be practically eliminated, he
said.
Seabeck Picnic

Roadside Glen, 26 miles out of
Eugene on the road to Florence

various conferences held on the
