STANDARDIZATION IS CELEBRATED WITH

BIG JUBILEE Students and Townspeople Join

In Parade and Rejoicing

On Monday evening, January 4, the city of Newberg saw and took part in a hig celebration. It was the second part of the jubilee announcing standardiza-tion of Pacific College.

It started at 7:30 with a big parade In which there were about 20 cars. The parade left the college, went to first street and went the full length of it, then returned to the college where a huge bonfire which had been prepared earlier in the evening was lit.

While this was burning the Npwberg hand played several selections, and the college seniors gave a stunt. The fall of the bonfire was the signal for everyone to return to the college auditorium for the remainder of the program. I When all had arrived ip the college, the audience joined in song. S. M. Cal-kins, a member of the Commercial club, then spoke a few words in which he told of the value to the town and com-munity with which the college is con-sidered by those who live here.

Dr. Hester, member of the college hoard, also gave a short talk. He said that while the corporate board was made up of a large numljer of peo-ple, the managing hoard consisted of 15 people, seven of whom live in the city of Newberg.

President Pennington spoke of those to whom we were indebted for the pos-sibility of this hour coming to pass, told how some of the money necessary for the present stanardization was raised.

ANNUAL RECEPTION FOR OLD STUDENTS HELD

The annual old students' reunion was held Friday night, January 1, lil2(i. The evening began with a basketball game between the old students and varsity which was very exciting. After the game was over people gathered at the auditorium in Wood-Mar hall and the annual business meeting was herd. This part of the program finished with the election of Cecil F. Hinshaw as presi-dent for the coming year.

The program then followed. It con-sisted of a contest between members of the even year classes and those of the odd numbered years. Each side gave a musical number, a reading, a charade and a parade. P>oth sides did nonder-fully well and the judges decided that hoth sides took first place.

During the contest each side support-ed its own representatives with yells and lots of pep.

After the judges had rendered their decisions an adjournment was made to the lower balls, where refreshment were served.

TREATING CHIEFLY OF MATTERS HISTORICAL; FLASHBACK INTO STORY OF FRESHMAN CLASS

In the fall of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty five (11)25), Pa-cific College convened once more for another ten months of scholastic en-deavor. As is usual in each such assem-blage, there is a group of lads and lasses enteiing the institution for the first time. They are known as Freshmen and are sometimes timorous and meek, sometimes brave and bold.

On this particular year, twenty four valiant Freshmen were enrolled and far be it from them to be timorous and meek. Although they were not bold to the point of aggressiveness, they earlv proved their ability to shift for them-aelves.

A meeting of the Freshman class was called by Sanford Brown to elect the officers that were to guide the class safely through the stormy year pre-dicted for them. With one accord and hy unanimous ballot the following offi-cers were elected: William Sweet president Sanford Brown ....vice-president Umbel Lundquist secretary Stanley Kendall ... soe. com chairman Kyerett Gettmann treasurer

In compliance with a college tradition a committee was appointed to investi-gate the matter of Freshman green.

OLD STUDENTS WIN ANNUAL CASABA

GAME Stars of Farmer Years Win Out

In Second Half The All Stars in the last minute of

play finally overcame the long lead piled up by the varsity team and came out on top of a 31 to 30 score in the annual basketball tangle last Friday night. A brilliant array of stellar per-formers of "ye olden times" was pre-sented by the old students and although they were butscored by the varsity in the first half 20 to 12 the stars came hack like a million dollars in the second half and strutted their stuff all over the the floor to the tune of 1!) to 10.

The game started with a bang, the All Stars drawing first blood. They kept the lead for some time and then Bill Sweet began to find the basket and his teannjiates to check up a little tighter on the "old boys." Nobody seemed to be able to stop Bill so he kept looping the ball through the hoop until he amassed a total of 10 points liefpre the half was over.

In the second half some.iody checked Sweet so that he only made, four Bas-kets and in the meantime—those Umg, lanky hoys, Lester Wright and Horace Terrell, dropped one basket after an-other through the net until Wright had made 10 points and Terrell S points.

PACIFIC LOSES FIRST GAME TO MT. ANGEL

Pacific College played the first con-ference basketball game December 18 at Mt. Angel College. She was taken into camp to the tune of 1G-43. The Mt. Angel men were fast and pretty sure shots. This is the first game they have played since joining 4}ur conference, and from the showing they made they will no doubt produce considerable competi-tion for those who have been in the con-ference longer.

The strenuous opposition to Pacific evidently served as a stimulant how-ever, for most of her scoring was done in the second half. Though our score was the result of team work, the score book shows a good share of it marked up opposite the name of Paul Brown.

The foor conditions at Mt. Angel were much different from those on the home floor, which produced a handicap that will he reversed to some extent in the return game.

The lineup was as follows: PACIFIC (1C) MT. ANGEL (48) Elliott (4) Schrader

When you come to think about it this is the year 1926!

'Tis only one month till the semester finals. We are remind-ed that Time is inexorable in its demands.

What has become of our col-lege dramatics ? We have heard numerous people about school express a wish for a dramatic club. Why not bring it to a head and get something started ? The Academy Third Year class has given us a good send off.

New Year's is traditionally the time when resolutions should be made and new leaves turned over. Personally we don't be-lieve in the usual propaganda about New Year's resolutions, etc., because they generally con-cern trivial things and worth-while matters and progress us-ually do their own resolving when the proper time comes.

Pacific has been standardized. But we must not let this be an end but only one step in her pro-gress. We have had no form of student government up to this time. We have had a decided lack of satisfactory social life. Perhaps the small size of our student body provides a handi-cap in both of these, but without student government and a dif-ferent kind of social life we can-not have the right kind of a stu-dent body.

Why be afraid of student gov-ernment? We have heard ex-pressions like th is : "Oh, we mustn't plunge right into stu-dent government all at once!" Why not? Student government is either student government or else it isn't. There is no half-way place in it. The form where the students have control of some of their activities is not real student government. A man who is paralyzed on one side of his body is not a real man. A council in which the faculty has an equal vote with the students is not a student council.

Surely if college students are not capable of controlling their own affairs, they should not be

entrusted with them, but where they are capable let them have an outlet for heir capabilities. College life should be a training ground for real life. Sometime we must be able to do our own thinking.

Neither do we think there is any analogy between a so-called high school failure of student government. A high school stu-dent has an entirely different at-titude from a college student. But we do think there is an anal-ogy between a high school stu-dent government success and college student government. In other words if a high school stu-dent body can make a success of student government, there is no reason why a college student body cannot.

Floyd Simonton, a senior in the col-lege of liberal arts and sciences at the University of Kansas, has startled the world of scholarship by declining mem-bership in the honor fraternity of Phi Heta Kappa. This oldest and most dis-tinguished of the Greek letter societies had Us beginning at William and Mary college, with the opening of the Ameri-can Revolution in 1770. Its name is formed from the initials of the Creek words "Philosophia Kiou kubemetes," meaning "Philosophy the Ouide of life." and lis growing membership has always been confined to those achleveing high seholarshp as indicated by the grades won in their respective classes.

]t Is because he believes this system of classifying accomplishment unjust. Inaccurate and essentially destructive lo the scholarship it seeks to record, Mr. Simonton declines the coveted hon-or. His letter of explanation indicates that be Is modestly sincere and lias no thought of making his action I he occa-sion for self advertising. ]fe says:

"I honestly believe that in the cir-cumstances of our state universities to-day, with their large classes and unin-dlviduallzed treatment of students, to strive for high grades is detrimental to the best interests of scholarship.

"To get an 'A' requires a degree df docility and useless industry that is fatal to the Independence, initiative and spirit of ndventure, which are the very life blood, it seems to me, of the true scholar and scientist.

"In short, 1 feel that the grade system of our schools is a false criterion of scholarship .and is a dangerous founda-tion for intellectual idealism and achievement."

Everyone who recalls the "boning" and "cramming" which make the ex-amination period a time of feverish ac-tivity will recognize the element of jus tlce of Mr. Simonton's contention. Get-ting a good "mark" is in part a matter of tact, discrimination and good luck. .Students hand down from class to class the rules of the game, the pet questions of the professors and the traditions of each department. There is a technique In examinations which is quite npuit from any knowledge of the subject.

Conformity is the law of the school room, from kindergarten to university, and the inquisitive, investigative, ex-plorative mind finds little encourage-ment anywhi-ie nlong the line .

Voting Simonton may be but making an expostulating gesture, hut I1L1 act gives food for thought.—Editorial, Pmr-land Telegram.

CONTEMPORARY LIFE The New Student quotes an editorial

from the New York World: Consider the quite extraordinary con-

duct of the President of Marion Ed-wards Paiks of Bryn Mawr College (when she was petitioned by the Self Government Association to permit smoking at Bryn Mawr).

What did Miss Parks answer? Did she point out to the students that Bryn Mawr never changes? Did she discover that the .younger geneiation isgoing lo the dogs? Did she affirm that a law once written is a law forever, and that if Bryn Mawr does not choose to live as It lived In 1897 the one thing to do is to give the college more machinery of enforcement? No, Miss Parks laid down none of these ex-cathedra judg-ments. She simply remarked that the conduct of students at Bryn Mawr has always been In the hands of the Self Government Association; that the regit lations of the association have, been based on the public opinion of the mo-ment; that times change and opinion changes with it; and that if a regulation prohibiting anything "can no longer de-pend on the authority of conscience and convention, which make up public opinion," then it is no longer effective and there is no health in it.

The "cast iron set of values" comes along with:

"Nothing has occurred in higher ed-ucation that has so shocked our sense of social decency as has the action at Bryn Mawr," exclaimed W. A. Branden-burg, president of Kansas State Teach-ei s' college.

"Never," answers Dean E. 13. Nlchol son to a query as to whether the Uni-versity of Minnesota will ever follow liryn Mawr's example in regard to the sanctioning of smoking nmnng the stu-dents.

At Vale compulsory chapel was voted down by the students by a vote of 1CS1 lo 241. At Penn State college the stu-dents expressed ther disapproval of compulsory chapel by a vote of 170!) to 315. At Bates college, Maine, the col-lege paper is tired of compulsory wor-ship.

RAE'S RABID RAVINGS

The downfall of our editor proved to lie the breaking of one of our dearest college traditions, and almost the break iug of a perfectly good register.

Note.—Time between classes shall not be spent In standing (or sitting) over the heal register.

* * « n e a r Columinator:

With registration there entered Into the balls of Pacific a c lass of twenty-five Freshmen to break traditions, to make history, trouble for the faculty and to prove an undeslred nuisance over which the Sophomores could make a great fuss.

After the first two weeks came In-itiation. The initiation itself wasn't bad because we enjoyed eating chill and red pepper, and also having our hair plastered with flour paste, and having iodine and green paint besmeared on our maps"; but why on earth did they hitvc to plant that nasty smel l ing stuff o°h us? We'd have enjoyed the eve-ning much more without It. And the worst of It was that we couldn't find out where It was planted; It seemed to be everywhere. Ob, well, Sophs suf-fered as well as Frosh. And bow were w e to know that It wasn't proper to jump out of the window and run away when the sly Sophs weren't lookng? Then when one Freshie was playing the Good Samaritan In helping n fellow suf ferer out of the window, around the corner dashed two Sophomores (one and a half, I mean) and carried l>oth again into captivity.

Shortly afterward in chapel we inno cently started applause over something which delighted us and were promptly frozen by cold looks from upper class-men. W h y can't Freshmen take the lead when Seniors don't do their duty. W e have that yet to learn. It seems that most anything is to be expected at the Freshmen, . so why does everyone pretend to be nstounded when the un-usual happens?

And then came time for the class volleyball tournaments. Well, the Freshmen were licked, so everything was all right, hut when the baskethall ! tournaments came and the Freshmen won, everything was rotten and the Freshmen were trying to run the school. Bunk! But It's human nature to grump.

Then the Sophomores danced round the dye pot one night when in It sim-mered and stewed two sweet , green Freshmen caps. They came out a sick-ly blue, the same color as the Sopho-mores'. That w a s a funny trick for them to do when they are supposed to see that the Frosh wear green nnd en-force it.

These are just a few of the things we have time to mention for we've had many things to grumble about but we won't say more here. But we think that after another semester of trials similar to this semester, our verdant hue will turn to a pale blue which so generally become Sophomores. Tn spite of all these things we really do love the .Sophomores some, and the Juniors a little, and down deep In our henrts we respect the venerable Seniors nnd look forward to the day when our trials will all be past and we shall occupy those front seats in chapel. Yours truly.
