’ OREGMM WORK WELL UNDER WtoSHS HYBE “Everything is coming along swim mingly and indications point to t, -i early clean up of the ’16 Oregana,” said Editor-in-Chief Maurice Hyde in speaking of that publication’s pros pects yesterday. All that i? unim portant will be omitted and tne De partments of Medicine and l?aw will ^ be represented in a much smaller space than formerly. Lamar Too^p, in charge of the features, is “cooking up” some new and original stuff. The fra ternities are working on their p.io'„o o graphs and novel ideas for the spaces they win occupy in the book.0 Several of the sororities have already handed in their “write-ups” and business is rushing with the photographers. Wil liam Holt, business manager, has had success in his solicitation of advertis ing space here and will leave in Feb ruary for Portland, where he will Say siege to the merchants and hotel men of that city.

Last Monday night she had a nervous breakdown, and on Tuesday she was taken to the Mer cy Hospital. Mrs. Killingsworth and Miss Nancy Killingsworth came from Portland Wednesday and remained until the patient was able to travel. Dr. Zimmerman says Miss Killings worth will probably be able to return to college in time to take her exam inations. UNIVERSITY Y. M. QUARTERS ARE INSUFFICIENT, SAYS KOYL “More room,” “more study tables,” “more games.” These are a few of the entreaties of students who fre quent the cramped Y. M. C. A. quar ters in the basement of Deady flail. Charlie Koyl realizes that the pies ent room is insufficient to aecommo i* date the number of students who come in to study or to read, and has appealed to President Campbell for ’arger quarters in which more tables and chairs may be installed. “What we want is a men’s read ing room,” says Koyl, “a place where we can have our piano and some good furniture. It is probable, also, that the Asociation will purchase a cou ple of billiard tables if we have a place in which to put thqpi.” SECOND SERIES OF EXHIBITS OF ART GEMS BEING HELD The second of a series of art exhib its is being held this week and proh ably continuing most of next week, in the Architectural Building. I There is a collection ' of over a nundred original illustrations by such American illustrators as Gibson, Kel ler, Christy and Pennell. The hall will be open from 1:00 un til 5:00 on Sunday afternoon for the public, and at 3:00 o’clock Allen Ea ton will lecture on the exhibition. These collections are sent here un der the auspices of the American Fed eration of Art. The first of the se ries was a collection of water color paintings. ° Several American universities have postponed anniversary celebrations, owing to financial stringencies due to the war. ^ The Purdue Exponent runs a stroy ^ of the organization of a club of col lege alumni in the East to make col » lege men useful to the community in which they settle. The story goes on to say that this organization threat ens to spread over the entire United States. CLASSES HAVE MONEY Treasurers Report Cash on Hand in Spite of Prevalent Hard Times According to their treasurers, the different classes of the University are in excellent financial condition. In spite of the prevailing hard times, more than half of the students have paid their calss dues. The girls are more prompt in payment of taxes than the men. Jaureguy, guardian of the Senior exchequer, reports a balance of $25. In regard to the Oregana deficit, Jau reguy said “We will make up the year book shortage all right. The books are noV selling to ajumni. The Senior class play will clear the rest of it. One hundred Oreganas are on sale at the Y. M. C. A. for $2.00 each. “The Seniors were $50.00 to the good when school opened, and as yet no class tax has been levied.” “Keeping ahead, for the 1916 Ore gana liabilities is the controlling pol icy of Junior class finances,” said Charles Collier. “With dues at $2.00, $150.00 has been collected. The un derclass Mix netted the Juniors about $25u00. A $20.00 debt of last year has been paid, leaving $165.00 to finance the affairs during Junior Week End and the proposed matinee dance. Forty members have not yet paid. These dues must be collected.” A statement from Frank Scaiefe, Treasurer of the Sophomore class, shows that dues amounting to $165.00 have been paid. “The cost of the Sophomore Formal was $115.00, and the Underclass Mix $10.00. One-third of the Sophomores have not made set tlement. The approximate cost of the class hour will be $10.0.0; class nu merals, $2.00. The sorority people are much more willing to pay class dues than are the fraternity men.” The Freshman class treasury has a balance of $117.00; $193.00 has been collected in all. Dues from some 60 Freshmen are still payable. BOOKLET ON BIRDS WILL BE SENT TO PORTLAND TEACHERS A. C. Shelton, Field Naturalist of the Zoology Department, has recently prepared a pamphlet of bird life in Oregon, which contains the descrip tion, distribution, habits and habitat of 52 common Oregon birds. The Ex tension Department will send*one of these pamphlets to each Portland teacher, the first on next week, so that they may be used in connection with the Bird Exhibit from the Zool ogy Department, which is now being shown in Portland. The pamphlet is compact and aims to give those characteristic features which enable one to recognize birds easily upon sight. MARLEY ARROW COLLAR CLUETT PEABODY 6-CO.

C. Clark, of the His tory Department, “and that there is no question but that we will be ad mitted.” Dr. Clark, who has been appointed General Secretary of the local body, intends soon to start a correspondence with the head office, with a view to being admitted next year. The local organization, which com prises about twelve members, includes Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of the De partment of History, Prof. P. L. Stet son, of the Department of Education, Prof. O. F. Stafford, Professor of Chemistry, Mrs. M. H. Parsons, of the English Department, Prof. W. P. Boynton, Professor of Physics, Mrs. E. W. Allen and Dr. Clark. “It is the oldest of the college Greek letter societies,” wrote Edward E. Hale in an article published several years ago. In writing of the begin ning of the fraternity, Dr. Hale says: “It is only by slow steps that we have worked up to such national feel ing as we have. Of these steps, the establishment of Phi Beta Kappa was one. In the wild excitement of 1776, while the assembly of Virginia, which met in Williamsburgh, was making the independence of Virginia a real ity, the young men of the college of William and Mary, not caring to be behind their fathers and elder bro thers, formed the Phi Beta Kappa so ciety. “It is clear enough from the imme diate practice pf the society that it was intended to be a philosophical club, whose purposes should go far beyond the narrow range of college studies of those days and should in clude not only what was then called philosophy, but the consideration at the same time of political questions. Were there no other evidences of this, PIERCE BROS. Staple and Fancy GROCERIES Vhone 246-Gor. 9 th and Oak Sts A. M. Robinson, O. B.

His advice is: “Above all things, leave pipes, cigar ettes and all other forms of tobacco alone—they will get your wind.” Lunches Candies Ice Creams Uictoria Chocolates Don’t forget we have a Special Sale every Friday and Saturday OPPORTUNITY To pick from our entire lines of Kuppenheimerand Sophomore * Suits and Overcoats, this fall’s latest styles at.
