UNIVERSITY OF OREGON", Eugene. June 19. (Special.) During the last month the faculty has considered seven separate proposals for strength ening the scholastic standing of the university, of which five were adopted and the remaining two left for consid eration in the Fall. The first of these measures to be adopted was a modified honor system. Starting next Fall, upper classmen may be designated by their major pro fessor as "honor students" in one or more subjects. A student so listed will be expected to do extra research work aside from class assignments. No grades are to be given honor students in the subjects where they will have honor standing until they become ready to receive a degree. Then they will take an examination lasting at least three hours before a faculty committee. Danrea Are limited. Numerous dances were next hit at by the faculty on the ground that they were interfering with time needed for study. The faculty adopted a resolu tion prohibiting a fraternity from giv ing more than two dances during the year.' Rules also were made to limit each class to one annual party on uni versity property and to restrict student activities during the week to the hours from 4 to 6 o'clock. When it became necessary last week to establish the requirements for a degree from the school of law the fac ulty fixed 75 hours of law work as the minimum. There is not an institution in the country demanding more work than the standard set for Oregon. Ac cording to the regulations as adopted admission to the law school can only be obtained after two years of prelim inary college training, making the course a five-year one. The maximum amount of work that can be carried by architectural stu dents was raised from 16 to 17 semester hours and freshmen are to be required to have before admission to the school of architecture 10 units of specific work among the 15 necessary for admission to the university, and permission was granted to schedule classes on Satur day morning. Lit Students Weeded, Out. As a result of the general tightening ef requirements the lax students are being weeded out and the faculty has found it possible to relax on the arbi trary punishment for missing classes. The cumulative feature of the cut rule has been repealed. Two other resolutions which give as their purpose the raising of scholastic standing have been laid over till the first meeting in the Fall. One is a proposal by Dr. Barnett to do away with intercollegiate athletics, the other proposes to discount low grades in fig uring graduation credits. The back ers of the plan to weigh grades would discount mere passing marks from 20 to 40 per cent. Thus a student getting a P pass, in a five-hour course, would only receive three or four credits in place of the five granted to a medium student. Starting next September no freshmen will be admitted to the university un less they have the full 15 entrance credits. Up to now it has been possi ble to be admitted with 13 credits and to make. up the other two during the freshman and sophomore years. ROAD WORK UNDER WAY Woodland and Pacific Highways Being Improved.

Complete Victory for the Principle of "Keeping Everlast ingly at it." MAZAMAS REACH ASTORIA Party of GO" l"n Route to Saddle Mountain, Met With Autos. ASTORIA, Or.. June 19. (Special.) A party of 60 Mazamas arrived from Portland this afternoon en route to Saddle Mountain. The visitors were met here by a delegation from the Saddle Mountain Club, and taken in automobiles to Young's Bay bridge, where launches were waiting- to con vey them to the McGregor logging railroad. -They will go by train to Moen's orchard, and from there will The history of a little three-inch display advertisement of bitulithic pavement written by Frcderich Hyskell & Son Advertising Agency and published every other day in the local dailies for I six consecutive years is summed up in these few words: "In response to the desire of citizens generally, and of Roadmaster Yeon in particular, the County Commissioners on Thursday awarded to the bitulithic people the largest contract ever made in Oregon for a single type of pavement aggregating $945,233.39. and .covering 55 miles of roadway." An extract from an Oregonian editorial says: It is true that the greater portion of the contracts call for one standard pavement bitulithic but it is obvious enough why the ' Commissioners reached their4 decision. The experience of Portland with bitulithic has been satisfactory, and -there was no question that. laid under proper conditions and with ample guarantees, it would -meet all expec tations. Other types of pavement, claimed by many to be the equal of any, have been spasmodically advertised, but none so systematically and persistently as bitulithic. Does it not reinforce the well grounded contention of all experienced advertising men that the time to advertise is all the time, especially when we find by the census reports that the National death rate is 1 7.4 per thousand and the National birth rate is 32.1 per thousand? The public is not always conscious of being influenced by advertising, but where all condi tions are right it invariably has its effect, like the constant drop of water that wears away the stone. "Advertising, properly done in right publicity channels, properly co-ordinated with selling plans, KEPT UP, and backed up, never failed," says Mr. Hyskell. In fact, he goes so far as,to say in one of his books. "Do not advertise at all unless it is undertaken with a determination to persevere to continue on and on and on, persistently and systematically."
