DISCUSS PROBLEMS
A round table discussion Of the gen.
eral problems and common affairs
were the main features of the con-
ference Some of the topics discuss
ed were Pacific Coast Intercollegiate
relationships Student body prob
lens, and "the scholarship and stud
ent-faculty relationship" Some OF
the important resolutions passed
were: the resolution favoring honor
system as traditional rather than as
a written code; the resolution against
hazing freshmen on the campus and
within the different organized
groups; and favoring the enforce
ment of customs of the schools by
upper-classmen rather than by sop
homores.
Sentiment, in general, was against
the point systems, now in vogue in
some institutions. This point system
limits students in extra curricular
count a certain number of points.
When a student has attained GER
tain maximum number of points he
is eliminated from participation.
The main objection to this was that
it has proven that student activities
cannot be measured in term Of fig
ures and one student may be capable
of doing more than another. So it
was considered better that a student
should be allowed to participate in
as many activities as the scholarship
rules allowed.
Another important matter discuss
ed concerned the student body build
ings. Special attention being given
to the University of CALIFORNIA; stud
emit union, California and Washington
stadiums, and projects for the Oregon
student union, and the Idaho memoir
al gymnasium.
