OREGON PRAISED BY ILLINOIS BIG ENROLLMENT BRINGS LET TER OF COMMENDATION President James, of Middle Western College, Felicitates Mr. Camp bell on the Fine Showing. In a letter received by President P. L. Campbell, from Dr. E. J. James, president of the University of Illinois, the University of Oregon is congrat ulated on having a larger enrollment than last year. President James writes, “I have just noficed from the News Bulletin of the University of Oregon, that the enroll ment at Eugene exceeds that of last year. “I wish to congratulate you on this fact. It is certainly quite a remark able phenomenon. From present in dications our total registration this year at the University of Illinois will show about sixteen hundred fewer names than last year.” Oregon is indeed fortunate not to have lost more students than she has, for the University of California re ports a decrease in her enrollment. The Oregon Agricultural College reg istration, however, is larger than it has ever been before. The registra tion totals 1.550 students. SMALL HOPE FOR EARLY SOCCER GAME No Assurance In Sight for Contest With Any Eligible Team. Prospects for an early soccer game j are decidedly uncertain, according to Graduate Manager A. R. Tiffany, who has been corresponding with several eligible teams in the Northwest. "Multnomah Club has made no def inite arrangements for soccer as yet,” said Mr. Tiffany on his return from Pcrtland, where he talked with the club officials concerning the possibil ities of a game. “Everything is up in the air there and we can have no as surance of a game.” An effort is also being made by Mr. Tiffany to secure a game with O. A. C„ but he has received no reply from the Corvallis school. i Milk is the Bets Drink on earth if it is pure and clean.

PENNINGTON Phone 217 764 Willamette Ml ADVANTAGE OF WAR HAS BEEN DISCOVERED NUMBER OF QUIZZES MATERIAL LY REDUCED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF PAPER. 800 SEieets of Examination Paper Is sued Yesterday Forecast Tests. The number of quizzes lias been cut at the University because of the war —the only war-time advantage of col lege to manifest itself. The order comes from L. H. John son. University comptroller, and thence through the faculty, which has issued the order to professors to cut down the use of paper for quizzes. Paper used by diuerent classes in the University for examination ques tions averages about thirty dollars per month, while the cost used to be only fifteen dollars. Five hundred sheets now cost forty cents, they used to f'ost twenty cents. That the faculty members are get ting behind the paper conservation movement is manifest by the attitude of tlie professors. An order has been issued to urge all students to write a small hand and some professors are now permitting the use of paper on both sides of the sheet. It is the idea of Professor R. W. Thacher, of the public speaking department, who was the first to allow students to write “on both sides and sign your name on the margin.” A quizz period is on right now in practically all departments of the Uni-1 versity, as is shown by an issue of 8,000 sheets of quizz paper yesterday, \ It’s always that way in quizz time ac cording to Mr. Johnson, and all the students have to do is watch the is sue of paper to their professors and —preparedness. Journalism, law and commerce de partments are the heaviest users of the University’s paper, and a labora tory fund is being considered for adop tion for these departments to allow them to pay for their own paper. Inquiries made by the business of fice of the University show that the University of Washington does not give paper for use in examinations. Replies from other universities have not yet been received to the Regis-! trar’s questions, which were sent to practically all the universities of the Northwest and to some eastern schools. SENIORS ADVERTISE BIG PAJAMA PARADE Thirty Chant of Friday Night’s Pre Football Demonstration. Chanting “Friday-Friday-Pajama Pa rade Friday,” as they marched, thirty members of the noble class of ’18 went through every building on the campus in turn Wednesday morning to advertise the big pajama parade on the eve of the Idaho game. Starting from the senior bench, the leather-lunged wearers of the sombre ro penetrated every nook and corner where students could be found. At the head of the procession, “Black” Blackaby kept time on a bass drum, while a couple of freshmen at the rear emulated sandwich men with large signs hung around their necks. After the tour of the campus, the column wound up at the starting place with yells for Oregon, the “best” class in the University, and “Jimmy” Gilbert.
