2 HOME AND FARM MAGAZINE SECTION Oregon Agricultural College is the Friend of Page of News Notes and Interesting Articles Specially Written by College Experts for OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY O. A. C. STUDENT BODY. FOLLOWING a stiff political cam paign of several days' duration a set of student body officers of the Oregon Agricultural College was elected for the coming school year on Monday, May 25. The main issues were the con trol of the Barometer and the leadership of the student body council. The stu dent body is self-governing, and quite naturally it is strongly democratic. It depends therefore upi;i an intelligent, right-minded and well-informed elector ate for its existe. ee. The Barometer is the official student botly paper and its policy is the greatest force in student government. " It should be the iim of every stu dent to take a more active i: terost in -the Barometer," says the editor, "and in the presidency and ; II other offices. If the Barometer errs, it is the fault of the fifteen hundred students back of it. No man edits the paper alone. All of ficers o. the student body wrr plae.'d in their positions to do the will of the electors, mid if .they tail to do it the students who tolerate tueui , aro.., to blame."' The following are the officers elected for the coming year: Presielcn' Roy E. Miller, Spokane,; first vice president, John flint, fStiii Diego; second vice president, U. R. lfoerner, Seattle; third vice president, Charles Stiekl, CorvaUis; secretary, Kareen Hansen, CorvaUis; imtor Jiarometer, Utto tiall .orn, Wood 1 nil, Wash.; manager Jiarometer, .1. W.

SUMMER SCHOOL T. .0 OPEN JUNE 15. lAEfUXXING with June 15 and con- lJf timiinj,' for a per od of six weeks, the annual summer school will be in session upon the 0. A. C. campus. Al lvady nnnerous incpiiries have been n- tcived from various p-.rts of the state fcnd a few people liav already rcgis- tcred. From all present indications it is thought that this year's enrollment will be larger than lasL year s attend mice of IS'J p'0,.le. The courses will be divided into two classif ications, some courses continuing for two weeks and others c.ntiuuiug for six weeks. The two weeks' courses will be for teachers of domestic science and art, manual training and commer cial branches. The six weeks' courses will include regular college subjects for which college credit will be given in proportion to the amount and alue of the work covered by the course. The summer faculty will consist of 62 pro fessors with li additional instructors and lecturers. It is thought that a large number oi Students of the college will avail them selves of this opportunity to make ex tra college credits or to make up sub jects. Last, year 60 out of the total en rollment were 0. A. C. students. So far 25 registration blanks have been handed in. Professor Uessler is especi ally anxious to get the names of those students who wish to attend, as soon as possible, so that the classes may be or ganized at an early date and that a schedulo of recitations may be prepared which will contain as few conflicts as possible. Five students will be neces sary for the organization of a class. One special feature of the summer school will be the boys' short course in agriculture. This course was organized last year for the first time and met pith the keenest enthusiasm by the 33 View of Oregon Agricultural Co'lefe CorvaUis, Oregon, the Sole Aim of Which is to Aid boys who attended. The course is es pecially adapted to boys of the seventh, eighth and high school grades and any boy in the state is eligible, for admis sion, the hoys will be housed m Can thoru hall during their visit and will be given all tho attention needed. ' Bulletins have been published bv the college giving all necessary details for, enrollment and lists of courses given.' These may bo obtained upon application or by writing to Professor K. I).
