Mem bers of the business office staff certainly have frequently maintained that it puts a great strain upon them. Faculty members, especially advisors, find the job of shaping up twenty-five to fifty programs no simple matter. And students also join the chorus of disapproval of the present “stream lined’’ system. The two-semester proposal was one plan designed to re move many of the difficulties of registration. Since it has been effectively shelved it is wise to consider some alter native method which would take away at least part of the difficulties. ^EVERATj years ago a system of somi-pro-rcgist ration was put into effect during spring term. Through the dean of personnel’s office appointments were made for lower division students with their advisors. At these spring term meetings of advisors and students programs were laid out for the coming year. The experiment, while it was not a complete* success, was of considerable value, according to Dean On thank. In some cases students who had not planned to return 1o school found courses that interested them in continuing t heir educat ion at the University. Most important of all. the programs outlined at that time were more nearly what the student needed and desired. Without the pressure of imme diate registration suitable schedules could be drawn up and intelligent thinking on the choice of courses was fostered. This plan was not continued because of lack of funds, according to Dean Onthank, although in his estimation the values received from it merited continuation. Tin* difficulties experienced in putting it into effect were chiefly those asso ciated with the establishment of any new program. Students as well as some laculty members wens* not completely ac quainted with or convinced of the benefits of the system and failed to take advantage of it. Such a difficulty could be overcome, however, as the plan became established. I’l/ETE pre-registration in the immediate future would probably be unwise, as Dr. Pallet!, University registrar, pointed out Tuesday. The difficulties of putting it into effect would be many. 'l'he plan of partial pre-registration, which was re-sug gested at the same time by Clifford Constance, assistant registrar, however, has much value and little of the difficul ties which would bo attached to the other system. One of the objections to it has been that schedule changes are not com pleted in time. As Mr. Constance points out, however, there is no reason why the largest part of making up students’ programs cannot be done before registration. ( ertainly the hasty system of choosing courses which is now prevalent should not go on. The student is not being given lull value when he is hastily shoved into classes which may not bo suited to him. A system of pre-registration sched ule arranging has already been tried and found fairly suc cessful. The expense involved (and it would not be great) would be an investment. Looking Back.... WITH JIMMIE LEONARD One year ago — Oregon men preferred silkan clad limbs to white, goose-pimpled calves. A survey conducted by Betty Hamilton, Emeral d scribe, showed that the campus males frowned on ankle sox. One bel ligerent lad s a i d, "Nothing looks worse, especially those gals with homely legs. Silk hose tend to compliment the aver age feminine leg, while the ank lets merely disillusion us.” P 2lSjSlSISI3ffiM5ISIS/SHSlSIS®21MSffiEJ3Jc i I I ome’ioxf's | ASSOCIATED | On the (3a in bus ' 1 ' I DASHING DUCK Windshield Stickers Ki(aiaiafffla®aEJMfSfaisia®aiaiEia'3,rsr^ The Duck bnsketeers slaught ered Idaho, 68 to 41.

Look ing through the window, the distraught professor saw the affectionate twosome engaged in what medieval writers used to call “light dalliance.” Marian Miller (Mrs. Joseph Hill), staff member of the Port land Oregonian, spoke before the annual Matrix Table ban quet at the Eugene hotel. Ten years ago K. \V. Mon tague, Portland lawyer, said that the American press needed a spirit of earnest yet unexcited self-criticism. He spoke at a banquet at the annual Oregon Press conference. Oregon hoopsters played their best game of the season, but lost to a championship Wash ington squad, 50 to 44. Nancy Carroll and Gary Cooper were playing in the im mortal "Shopworn Angel" at MacDonald theater. Narrow Nationalism? recent public! congressional resolution burring alien stu dents, including lliose who have filed application for citizenship, from obtaining NYA aid was made effective on 1 lie Oregon campus last week following an announcement from the Portland NYA office. In the future, NYA students will be required to have affidavits of United States citi zenship. There is no constitutional ruling which prevents the legis lative bodies from such a resolution, but in keeping with the iheory on which the American government was founded the proposal seems “off color.” Once the United States was a melting pot,for the races of the world. Gradually barriers have been closed to foreign ers until today only small minorities are allowed to enter Ihe country each year. Still, however, it is supposed to be a land ot “freedom of opportunity” for everyone within its juris diction. That the government would add another barrier, including even those who have signified desires to become citizens, appears to typify a growing, narrow nationalism. # « # # rJ'MIIS ruling might well apply to foreign students who are here to take advantage of the fine schools of higher edu cation. Fortunately, however, few of these students are in need of any additional assistance from the government. Where the resolution strikes hardest is at young people who have come to the United States to make their homes. If they desire to live and work here, are they not entitled to as much assistance as those more fortunate ones born in the United States? Both groups are striving to be of more benefit to society. Penalization of one group in favor of another is an action which America finds hateful in many modern governments. Yet, in this measure, is discrimination as pure as any devised by Europe’s dictatorships—and this against a group which is building 1o be of assistance to the nation. Naturally, the United States does not desire to spend money where it will not aid the country. This is a ease, however, especially for students seeking citizenship, where harm rather than benefit would seem to be the result. And in view of recent efforts of many groups to bring persecuted students of dictator lands to this land of “equal opportunity,” it makes the United Statse guilty of rather unintelligent inconsistency.—P.B. Miss Hays to Give Piano Recital Over KOAC Tonight Eleanor Hays, Eugene, will pre sent a piano recital on the school of music broadcast over station KOAC at 8 o’clock this evening.

White Branch Trip Ends Ski Activity The truck sponsored by the Uni versity of Oregon ski club to lake students to the White Branch rec reational area last Sunday proved a very adequate means of transpor tation, Norman Holt, ski club prexy, stated last night. Conditions were excellent for | skiing, said Holt, and added that i last Sunday’s trip concluded the ' ski club activities for the term. The ski club, composed mostly of ski team members but open to i any ski enthusiast, has been quite active this term. Its activities have increased accordingly with those of the Webfoot ski teams whose schedule of meets this season takes it on trips to California, Nevada, Idaho, and Vancouver, Canada. Oregon’s ski club reserved a spe cial car on the snow train that went to Crescent Lake two weeks ago and placed a bulletin board at Hart Larsen's campus store for use in obtaining transportation for students on Sunday trips. Leaders in the ski club were Bob Jolly, Chi Psi; Marjorie McLean, Alpha Phi; A1 Childs, Alpha Tau Omega; and Norman Holt, Phi Delta Theta. The ski club’s annual over-night outing has been set for next term on March 26 and will take club members and friends to the Obsid ian cabins on the McKenzie pass.

Noble, associate ate student and a former two-year symposium member has an nounced the publishing this month i of his "High School Debate Book.” ! The book was written in 1911 by his father, E. C. Robbins, once the , dean of the University’s school of business. It was revised in 1922 and now Ed has gone over it again. The "High School Debate Book" is to be used especially, as the name implies ,to help the high school debater. It contains points on how to speak and several types of speeches. you want to. It is much better to have the assurance of a good friend that the date is “OK”, however. You might meet the man of the hour—who knows? In agreeing to a blind date, make up your mind to be on your best behavior whether you like him or not and remember he is probably having doubts about you, too. As for conversation, the best thing to do, since you know little or nothing about him, is to start him to talking about himself. Be an interesting listener. If he just won’t talk, break the ice by telling him about your aims in life, etc. As soon as you have decided what type of a man he is, whether a wit, scholar, playboy, shy or conceited, act accordingly. It was once said that a woman’s popular ity was determined by her acting ability to carry the roles each type of man in her acquaintance pre ferred. However, nothing is worse than “putting on,” so be natural, but fit your mood to his. If he is serious, act serious. If he wants pep, give it to him. Above all things, make him think you are having a good time whether you are or not, as his opinion of you might count some day. * r i'I' rTTTVTTVTTTVTTTf ttTTTT'T AND HE SAYS...
