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;

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). Ues
sler or to Mr. Teiinant, Registrar.
