It's Fun, But Take Heed
You new students arc going to have a good time this week.
The Student Union open house, the Hello Dance, and the
Portland game will all be fun.
You'll have a chance for many more good times through
out the year at firesides and dances, in the Student Union, and
on weekend dates. The University wants its students to enjoy
themselves, so allows ample time for a student’s social develop
ment.
But a new student must not become lost in this social
side of college life. You must always keep foremost in your
mind the realization that this is an academic institution.
Its main goal is to educate young men and women along
scholastic lines, to prepare them to be intelligent and useful
members of society.
The fine instructors and new facilities on the L niversity cam
pus were procured for vour benefit. They were placed here
with the hope that you will take full advantage of them during
your stay.
And the University expects you to make good use of its
educational opportunities. If you fail, the school can and
joes_remove the opportunitv. Any student who falls repeat
edly below a 2.00 GPA (C average) is not allowed to continue
his studies here.
So keep one tho«ght in the back of your mind while you
enjoy the Freshman Week activities. Keep it in your mind
throughout your entire college career. You are making an
academic contract with the University of Oregon. The Uni
versity expects you to keep it, and have fun too.
And the responsibility is all yours.
An Admirable Position
The University of Oregon
did not dismiss one single
man or woman from its aca
demic faculty this year.
The University of Wash
ington d i d. "Washington
State college did. So did the
California state system col
leges.
Throughout the entire
country faculty men have
been released due to budget
cuts caused by diminishing
student registrations. En
rollment in the nation’s col
leges and universities is esti
mated to drop 11 per cent
this year, according to a re
cent bulletin from the associ
ation of land grant colleges
and universities. Here at
Oregon the number of new
student applications last
week was 17 per cent below
that for the same period last
fall.
True, Oregon has less fa
culty members this year—20
less. But these were lost
through normal staff turn
over. No one was told to
leave.
Someone is to be com
mended for his excellent
handling of the situation.
Be Wise ...

When You REGISTER!
And that man seems to be
University President H. K.
Newburn.
Last year Dr. Newburn
watched" the budget closely.
He instructed the various
deans to leave some degree
of flexilibilty in their bud
gets. Then, by getting out
a pencil and pad and doing
what must have been some
pretty involved figuring he
was able to place the school
in the admirable position of
having to dismiss no one.
