now spread to some 250 colleges
in this country.
Two years ago Dr. Clifford
Maser, dean of business und
technology, started a plan for
using the daily Wall Street Jour
nal on a large scale for his
major students. This was the
first time this had ever been
done, according to J. Leroy
Thompson, New York, director
of educational services for the
national business daily.
Thompson, who spoke to maj
ors in the school here, said ap
proximately 250 colleges have
adopted the idea since it was
started here. The Wall Street
Journal is now more of a gen

merely a financial paper, he
said.

Men Outnumber Women
In Oregon Colleges
To get your man, girls, go to
Oregon State College! In fact,
each girl at OSC is entitled to
three and one-fifth men, and
discounting a few who are mar
ried, that is a pretty good per
centage. OSC records this fall
show 5146 men to 1617 women,
a bigger ratio of men to women
than at any other major insti
tution of the State System of
Higher Education.
A girl at the University of
Oregon can only fairly claim 2.3
men, for there are 4078- men
and 1755 women. Coeds at the
Colleges of Education have be
tween one and two men as their
share. At Southern Oregon are
485 men to 275 women (ratio
of 1.8 to 1); Eastern Oregon, 325
to 245 (1.3 to 1); and Oregon Col
lege of Education, 318 to 274
(1.2 to 1).
Five years ago the ratios were
the direct opposite, for most of
the men were at war. Oregon
State’s was 3 to 1, with women
outnumbering men 1541 to 468.
But the 115 women at OCE
didn’t have a chance. The 6 men
enrolled each had 19 women
