REGISTRATION SHOWS '! 29 PER JUT GRIN More Than Half of Mew Stu ; dents on Campus This Year Are Women. Many Picking Subjects Con ; nected With Bread and Butter—No Orientals. Registration of resident students in the T'niversity for the second semester now totals 1034, passing the thousand murk for the first time in the history of the institution. This figure, given out by Registrar A. It. Tiffany represents an increase of 29 per cent, as compared with last year’s gain. (More than half me new students are women. Their most popular choice of major subjects is . inglish Literature. Among the men there is a notable tendency toward commercial subjects. The school of commerce lias more stu dents entering than any other depart ment. The professors attribute this to its close connection with “bread and butter.” “The boys can cash in on it sooner than any other and in these days it’s money that counts,” stated Professor (}. R.McAuslan. Nearby colleges have lost some of their students to Oregon this year. About a dozen have come from Oregon Agricultural College, and the Universi ties of Washington and California. One man who graduated at Seattle is a can didate for a master’s degree here, lie sides these there are close to 50 of the older undergraduate students returning after an absence to complete their courses. The usual number of specials, seven or eight, also have registered. One remarkable fact about this semes ter’s attendance is that there are no students ... the Orient. Usually there is a Filipino, Japanese, or Hindu student but with the departure of Kulogio A. (iorospe Wednesday, none remains. (5or ospe, a Filipino in the freshman class, had intended eontinueing his studies longer until a telegram received a few days ago changed bis • plans. lie has gone to Sa,i Francisco to take the posi tion of clerk in the Phillipine office there. He will probably return next fall. One of the new students, Julius Frahm from Richmond, Ore., is origi nally from Reudsbirg, Hcrmany, where his mother now lives. Two of his brothers, one a surgeon, have just lost their lives in the Kuropean war. Frahm has been in this country four years, spending most of his time studying Fug First Spring Showing in yThxflefoif. TMx£S HIS is the hat for 1 YOU!

Later it will appear in book form. He reported on all the stories published in the best magazine’s in lOlti. making a list of the boot stories out of l the 2700 that he had read. Seventy-fee ! authors of stories on the list were placed on his roll of honor, as contributing work of permanent literary value. Mr. Marshall's “The Missing Seven teen’’ which appeared in the Saturday Evening I’ost last May was one of th > seven stories from the 1010 issues of that magazine to be given places on the roll of honor. Two of the other six honored stories were by Norman Dun can, and one each by Basil King, Irvin , S. Cobh, Melville D. I’ost. and Katherine Norris. Mr. O’Rrien classifies his stories into four groups; first, those hardly deserv ing publication, second stories distin guished by cither good technique or sub stance, third, very distinguished stories containing both of these qualities, and lastly, a short list of stories of perma nent literary value. "The Missing Seven teen’’ was on the latter list. Among other stories of Mi-. Marshall's that will appear soon is a series of short ! stories in the American Magazine, start ! iug probably with the March issue. P—..... ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ A ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ FOFNP Gold Watch.

STUDENTS GROW POORER 4 4 4 4 REGISTRAR GETS RICHER 4 4 4 * SO DOES THE LIBRARY “It’s ;’ust one durn thing after an other,” ♦radically declaimed one youth as he emptied his spare change on the palm cf a greedy collector in Johnson hall. “All they think a fellow has money for here is to get rid of it.” One of the most pleasant surprises prepared for the students was an inno cent appearing little card, a gift from the registrar's office announcing that “Rec ords of the Library show that you have fines there on account of books not re turned on time amounting to blank blank debars. The rules of the Board ■ >f Regents require that all amounts due the University must he paid before grades can be given out.” .So it happens that the treasury had increased its funds by $35 before noon and the pennies were still coming in. The largest individual fine recorded was $4.S0 while the smallest was eight cents. M H. Douglass, head librarian, advises that “a stitch in time often saves niue” and believes that if the average student were not so careless in disre garding notices sent out at frequent in tervals he would be a great deal richer and would not be delayed in getting his grade card by so trivial a matter as eight cents. Mistakes are promptly remedied when j called to the attention of the library j arid if you had paid promptly what is j owid it would have saved the agony of j standing in line two hours expecting to I hear whether you flunked and then only had a bill handed you.
