Students Know Why
They Come to U. O.
Latest Survey Proves

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu-
gene.—“Just why do you come to the
University of Oregon!”
This question was recently asked 690
freshmen here, and the old myth that
young students do not know just why
they select a college or university was
exploded. Out of the total of 690, 595
declared that the courses of study
offered at the University influenced
them more than any other factor in
their choice of an institution of higher
learning. Most of the 95 remaining
failed to fill in this place on the ques
tionnaire, while only a few stated that
courses of study did not influence them.
Of the total answering, 887 declared
that they had actually attempted to
make a comparison of Oregon with
other institutions on a basis of courses
of study, and decided that there oppor
tunities were greater here. Many stu
dents were positive In their statements
that schools and departments in this
University excelled those in other in
stitutions on the coast. A strong pref
erence for the school of medicine, school
of architecture, school of journalism,
school of law and school of business
administration was shown in the an
swers.
That the entrance requirements and
high scholarship standards are defin
itely limiting attendance at the Uni
versity and bringing to it a higher
type of student was shown by the an
swers. Many freshmen Btated that in
their belief a great many students were
deterred from coming here because en
trance requirement units must be in re
quired subjects, while others stated that
the University system of placing the
lowest quarter of entering freshmen on
scholastic probation also kept away
many who would otherwise enter.
That the geographical location of
Eugene, as a University‘center is favor
able was shown by the fact that 481 of
the 690 answered this question in the
affirmative. Only 52 said it was un
favorably located for them.
Financial conditions were also con
sidered by 305 of those answering. Most
of the students were of the opinion that
costs here compared favorably with
other coast institutions, and for the
grade of instruction, lower than many.
The fact that part-time positions are
more plentiful in Eugene than in many
other college centers was given as an
answer by many.
Social life, or the “good times” part
of the Uiversity life, was not over
looked, for 371 declared that they con
sidered this as a factor in making up
their minds to come to Oregon. This
apparently appeals more strongly to
women than men, however, for 208 of
those answering this were co-eds, and
only 141 men.
The questionnaire was compiled and
tabulated by Hugh Biggs, who ù now
doing part-time research work in con-
nection with work carried on by tba
registrar’s office hore.

Over 800 Fathers Visit the
Students at U. of O.
Invitation
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,
gene.—Fathers of students of the
versity of Oregon gathered from every
part of the state Saturday, January
28, to participate in the first annual
“Dad’s Day.” More than 800 stu
dents and their parents attended the
banquet in the evening, where they
listened to an address by Dr. Arnold
Bennett Hall, president of the Uni
versity of Oregon. Other speakers at
this occasion were Senator A. W. Nor-
blad, Astoria; Miss Esther Hardy, pres
ident of the Women’s League; bonald
Beelafr, president of the associated stu-
dents, and John J. McEwan, football
coach.
During the day the fathers were
taken to various places of interest on
the campus, and were given an oppor
tunity to see the various classrooms,
laboratories and buildings in which
their students worked and studied. Pro
fessors held “open house” and offered
interesting information on various
phases of university activity.
In the evening the “Dads” watched
the Oregon - Washington basketball
game. Sunday was devoted to tours
of Eugene, and to visits at the frater
nities and dormitories.
Fathers present declared that they
greatly enjoyed every minute of the
visit, and many are planning to come
back for the event next year. Stu
dents also enjoyed the opportunity of
showing their “dads” their campus and
living quarters.
We noticed a man on a crowded bus
the other day who was so polite ho
excused himself whan be boat a co-ed

Telephone operatort hi a modern
college town rarely earn theia
money. Telephones in campus liv
ing organizations are about the
busiest things around here. During
the rush period of the day they
report that 50 attempts to get one
number, are not unusual. Of course,
it is impossible to get in so many
conversations in that time. Many
sororities and fraternities have a
time limit on calls. Some even
have more than one telephone ia
their houses.
