Activities, Grades
Can Mix—Maybe
When brains are matched for
a tall spring beer, the 3.32 wins.
And it is the 3.32 average of the
Old Oregon upper news staff
that has licked the Emerald
GPA.
Late in winter term, Bert
Moore, editor of the alumni mag
azine, wagered a beer with Bob
Frazier, Emerald editor, that
his upper news staff would cincli
a higher grade point than the
magazine w’orkers.
After grades bounced out of
Emerald hall, the two editors av
eraged their w'orkers’ earnings.
Frazier found that a 3.20 was all
he could wring out of his upper
news staff, whiPe Moore waved
a 3.32, more than a tenth of a
point higher.
After double-checking the av
erages, both editors agreed, “The
Shackrats and alum-maggers
did rather well this time—should
prove something about activity
people.”
Today is Deadline
For Vets' Pledges
Today at 5 p.m. is the deadline
for veteran students to confirm
their registration for spring term
