Editor Names Editor To Edit for Editor Helen Johnson, senior in phys ical education, has been ap pointed temporary sports editor of the Oregana, according to Helen Johnson, editor.

Miss Johnson stated that the new sports editor was very competent except that she be lieved that all player's initials were RH, F, and Q. affirmed that, "We five in an en vironment of doers, tout not think ers. And to do things does not necessarily require an educated public. Because of this our stu dents are industrially and mone tary-minded rather than service minded. The emphasis is laid on wealth rather than on culture.” In criticising the University ad ministration, Dr. Jameson advo cated comprehensive examina tions. He affirmed that they had once been tried at Oregon, but abolished because they "required too much extra bookkeeping.” "We of the faculty must teach to suit the administrators, not the scholars,” Dr. Jameson declared. "Among other things, it is the ad ministrators’ fault that much scholastic deadwood is being-per petuated in the curriculum.” Dr. Jameson elaborated ]>;.«• comments concerning student faults by stating that both stu dents and the American public lack "intellectual curiosity.” In our present ideas of education we are stereotyped, he said. “We like our education ready made, like our goods.

We want to do anything but think, for thinking would disturb our com placent 'balance'.” A somewhat larger assemblage of students than attended the first forum of the series asked ques tions concerning the extent of student participation in activities* and the feasibility of the abolish ment of grades except for the pass-fall system. Dr. Jameson re plied that he favored activities an being an essential complement ol’ a well-rounded education. * "Activities prepare one for par taking of a full community life," Jameson said.
