La Grippe and inattention, pneumonia! Pneumonia, more inattention, tuberculosis! Tubercu losis, neglect, death! Death-V That is in a synopsis the brief course it is possible for a life to run when those climatic periods come making one more than ordinarily susceptible to colds. Care and attention then arc the expedi ents to be employed to protect health. Hut from observation the Emerald 1ms found that students are the least care ful mortals, and fortunate it is they live. The only explanation seems to be that they ure in the full flush of youth and their normal resistance and vitality are far superior to that of the average. Yet why this taking of a gambler's chance?

P. A. Portland, Ore. SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES FOOTBALL Oregon vs. Pennsylvania Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 1st There are several reasons. Those students who suffer the most are fresh men. Having broken away from the home ties and the family care they are thrown upon their own attention. Ignor ant of what to do or what they should do they take less precaution to guard their own safety than do those who have learned from experience. As a matter of fact there are very few students who really know how to tuke care of themselves. That is not their fault. It is the fault of the family and school systems. Hut taking these who do know the value of attention and it is still found chances are taken—and for no other reason than personal appearance. Think of it: taking a gambler's chance on one’s own life for the mere sake of looking nice! Hut pshaw, all men like to be fashion plates and what' woman is there who wouldn't like to be a queen? That’s the heydey of youth “For a cap and bells our lives we pay.” « lOre long the present students will be out in the cold world, some perhaps toasting their toes in front of their own fireplaces. Then is when the remark able change comes. In wet weather they wear rubbers. Their clothing is that which will prevent the cough and sneeze and not that so tasty and dandy. A gar gle W handy for an emergency, etc. Yet withal why can’t students be youthful and practical in their living. And don’t forget that Oregon needs a new athletic field. VAUDEVILLE NEXT. Seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen will hold forth happily gay in twenty minutes of vaudeville each a week from Saturday night in one of the Eu gene theatres. That is what the classes think of Oregon’s championship football team. Hurrah for the team! No one can be in his right mind and not concede Oregon the Coast champion ship. Championship teams are few and far between for such a major sport as football is and the remarkable record of the Oregon laddies this year is parti cularly gratifying to students and fac ulty alike. Hut, as the student body constitution is now, no provision is made Quality Style Fisk Hats Mrs. Ruth McCallum Carter Millinery Parlors Upstairs First National Bank Building, Room 22 L,_^_—-- . . for recognition in a material way for the boys who bring the championship to the University. The Emerald takes a good deal of pride then in announcing to the alumni the spontaneous spirit of the students in backing a movement for the purpose of raising money to buy little gold foot balls inscribed with the player’s name and fact that he was a member of the Coast championship football team of the season of 1916. Hurrah' for Oregon’s Coast champion ship football team! GLEElTDEC. 26 Men’s Club Will Tour Coos Bay Country. Numerous Stunts and Musical Selections Will Comprise Program. The Men’s glee club will leave on their annual trip December 26, for Coos Bay county. The lost few weeks they have been preparing the two or three stunts that are mixed in with the musical selections, all of which promises to be exceptionally good. One of these stunts called, “An Extract of Grand Opera,” will be put on by Graham Smith, Bobble Burns, Curtis Beach and Algie Wein heimer. Who will take the feminine roles will be known when the home con cert is given. Ilolsman, Mills and Rals ton are to entertain for a few minutes with ‘^Syncopated Spasms in Song.” It may be that a third skit will be put on by Moores, entitled “Optical Allusions.” An attractive program is promised with piano, violin and vocal solos by Burns, Scearcc, Black and Vawter. ! Mr. Lyman states that the home con cert will not be given until after the trip has been taken, and in this way it is ex pected that this concert will be much better than those of other years. ALUMNA PROVES ABILITY Clara Wold Contributes Good Work to the Portland Spectator. Clara Wold, University alumna, proved herself one of the best critics on the Pacific coast in her book review of Wil liam Dean Howells' “Leatherwood God,” which appeared in the Thanksgiving number of the Spectator, according to Mrs. M. II. Parsons. IS^i’s. Parsons says that her work is that of an assured hand, and that it can readily be placed on a level with the work which appears in the Dial and the Nation. Miss Wold is a member of the Chi Omega sorority and was active in student body affairs when attending the Uni versity. ♦ Biology Seminar, Friday after- ♦ ♦ noon at 4:15 in the geology labru- ♦ ♦ tory.

One Macalaster Iowa freshman does not believe in marriug his dignity or fac ial beauty by wearing the green cap. Nor does he object to using an impressive method in conveying the fact to the upperclassmen. Sophomores at Macallester college, made one last attempt in trying to force him to wear the cap. The enraged stu dent drew a revolver and flourished it in the air. His prosecutors fled. The name of the student is concealed. CATERS TO WOMEN. Special attempts to get the women un dergraduates of Cornell interested in bas ketball are being made by the athletic authorities. A specially designed out door basketball court, one of the best of its kind in the country, ,is being placed on the grounds back of Prudence Risley hall, the girls’ largest dormitory on the campus.
