* Faculty Senate Workings Told;
Group Speeds General Meetinas
By Barbara Jeremiah
Ever stop to wonder who decided
there should be a one-hour course
in camp cookery?
Chances are that the Faculty
senate put its okay on the idea
way back when. This ever-func
tioning-, though unsung, group is
composed of two faculty repre
sentatives and the dean from each
school in the University, except for
the college of liberal arts which
sends nine spokesmen.
Elected by their fellow teachers,
these "congressmen” meet one
week before the monthly faculty
meeting to discuss questions sched
uled to come up at that time.
MATTERS DISCUSSED
Business items, the advisability
of adding new courses, whether
or not veterans shall be required
to take PE or candidates for
master of arts degrees shall be
required to write theses, and other
policy changes are threshed out
on the senate floor before being
submitted with a stamp of appro
val or disapproval.
A “no” vote by the senate is not
considered a kiss of death, how
ever. It is fairly common for the
faculty to reverse these prelimin
ary decisions. Although usually
just discussed, some issues may
call for special reports and com
mittees are appointed.
Heads of departments or their
representatives are often invited to
plead their cases.
MEMBERS LISTED
R. W. Leighton, dean of the
school of health and physical edu
cation, is senate chairman. W. C.
Price, associate professor of jour

Prison Reform, Gridiron Outlook
Explained in October Old Oregon
“Reform . . . Not Punishment’’
by Pat Arrowsmith, sophomore, is
one of the lead articles in the Oc
tober issue of Old Oregon, alumni
magazine of the University. The
account of Dr. Miriam Van Waters,
Oregon, 1908, deals with her coura
geous fight to retain her position
as superintendent of the Framing
ham reformatory for women in
Massachusetts.
Dr. Van Waters, who is nation
ally known for her record of prison
reform, was accused of allowing
the inmates too much freedom
after the suicide-hanging of a
young woman in the reformatory.
Her trial and her attempt to better
the conditions in the prison are re
counted in Old Oregon.
“The Gi'idiron Outlook,” a pair
of articles by Fred Taylor, associ

cle is about Bill Fell, promising
new halfback who came to Oregon
this year from Compton Junior
College, and why he chose Oregon.
The second recounts an interview
with George Bell, right halfback.

YM Freshmen
Hear Foskett
On Vocations
“If I were a Freshman, and had
not fully decided about my voca
tional choice, I would not be con
cerned about it,” said John Foskett
of the University Sociology De
partment in his speech to the mem
bers of the Freshman Club at the
YMCA Thursday evening.
Find some field of study you
enjoy; then when formal educa
tion is completed, and you can do
something well, you will find a
job,” he stated.
Foskett declared that many stu
dents have misconceptions of the
University. One of these miscon
ceptions is that the University is
a “mill” which turns out graduates,
giving the student no chance to
have personal contact with faculty
members. Foskett said that this is
not true; and that faculty mem
bers are glad to have students
drop in to discuss their course.
Another misconception common
among freshman students, he said,
is the idea that in order to succeed,
a student must be either a book
worm or a playboy. Foskett feels
the student should try to maintain
a balance between the two if he:
wishes to have a successful col
lege career.
The Freshman Club will hold its
next meeting at the “Y” on Oct.
13 at 7:30. The speaker for the eve
ning will be student body president
Art Johnson who will speak on the
subject, “Malting Good in Student
Activities.”
Right Address Needed
Those persons who have changed
their address since registration
should contact the Piggers’ Guide
editor, Dorothy Orr 4-9322, or the
address will be incorrect in the
guide.
With the student body at the University of
Minnesota in Minneapolis — it’s the Coffman
Memorial Union. Coca-Cola is a favorite here, as
in student gathering places everywhere. For a
between-classes pause, or after an evening bull
session—Coke belongs.
