At Willamette.

Through yesterday IS issue of the vii.
lamette Collegian, the faculty Of the
local university made public recent fac
J';.' actions which will prevent the
"hagging" Of the important student
body offices by a few leaders as gener.
ally occurs in any school.
While the faculty never lay down
rules that must be followed, it has been
their custom to make recommendations
that certain customs be followed and
the students knowing the faculty to be
working for their betterment have al
ways followed the suggestions offered
by the teachers.
One Of the most important actions
was the offering of 8 English credits
TO the editor of the Collegian and 2
credits to the editor of the Junior An
nual. This, however, was upon the con-
dition that the editors of these publica-
tions must first have credit for IA
hours in the English department.
r'he same action provided that if in
the Judgment of the head of the English
department the work of either editor
was unworthy of the number of credits
provided, they should receive such a
number as their work would indicate
they deserved.
The rulings recommended by the fac,
ultg +oilpw:
