The old rule that a aemester hour -i should be deducted for 16 absences, was i changed to read that one term hour should be deducted for ten term ab sences. The former rule, stating that If a student registered after the first , week, the number of hours for which he could register, would be reduced by one for every week late that he en 1 * tered. was altered to read that the term I \ hours would be reduced by one for every . three days he entered late.

Although "Bill” is hardly able to get around, he showed up yesterday in the hope that he might get a little interest aroused for track. Hayward has not recovered from his illness of last fall which finally compell ed him to leave school and get away for a rest. He is staying on a farm near SHverton and will direct the course of the track squad by letter and occasional visit. At a meeting yesterday afternoon in his office, “Bill” outlined the course of action that the track candidates should follow in getting into condition. There were about thirty-five would-be cham pions out or half the number needed to help Hayward grab another conference championship. Hayward has placed certain members of the squad in charge of the various events and will keep in touch with them by mail. There being no letter men in track left in school no one will be in direct charge, the men themselves to a great extent helping in the matter of getting into condition. The men and the departments they will handle are as follows: Wilson and Warner, 440 and 220-yard dash. Cole man. 1 and 2-mile run. Gilbert and Run quest. shotput and discus. Foster, sprints.

Few Students Accused of “Pro measleism”; Fred Paskwood Under Suspicion The latest news from the Oregon cam pus front, which was recently attacked by the German measles, is that the Hun is still on the offensive, but is slowly being driven back. One drive made on Louise Davis was a complete defeat for 'the enemy. The battlefield was only left with a severe cold after the attack. The measly measles are still in our midst, but are being shot off one by one. The casualty list stands as pre viously published, with the additional names of Clare Corrigau. Bernice Spen cer, and Edythe Bracht. Those who have been wounded are Harold Grey, Irving Rowe, arid Roxie Hall. Fred Packwood has been reported as being openly pro-measle, and will prob ably be shot at sunrise or punished as decreed by the court. The Beta house is holding two of its members under suspicion, but as yet no definite action has been taken. All cases of pro measlism should be reported ait once to 'the proper authorities.

Spring Vacation Trip Planned to Chemawa, Mt. Angel and Portland. Good weather this week has given the baseball squad a chance to got started. "I want to see more men turning out from now on. for both the Varsity and the frosh teams,” said Coach Walker yesterday. “Every one iu school that has had any baseball training should be out.” The men now out for Varsity posi tions have been showing up to advantage lin the last week, and from the present standing, Oregon should have one of the strongest baseball teams that she has had in years. With four letter men back. Medley, Sheehy, Grebe, and Mai son, and several men out who have had previous baseball experience, there should be little trouble in moulding a good team. Maison May Leave. Harold Maison. one of the four letter men, is a reservist in the aviation branch of the army, and may be called at any time. “Chuck” Dundore, who also was a reservist, was called this week, and Maison is of the opinion that it will not be long until he receives his summons. His loss would be a severe blow to the prospects of the Oregon team, as ho is almost sure of his posi tion at third. Maison is a snappy fielder ar.d a good hitter, and. if called, it will be hard to fill his position. It is almost certain that there will be some kind of a trip for the Varsity squad during the spring vacation. Pres ent plans are to include Chemawa. Alt. Angel, and tennis of the Portland ship builders league. Definite word is being awaited from the managers of these teams, and until received the schedule for the trip cannot be completed. Two Contest First Base. Lind and Comfort are out for first base, and are putting up a stiff fight to become guardian of the initial sack. Lind has had experience in the outfield, so if he does not make the first base job, he may be shifted to the gardens. Campbell, Morrison, and Brown are out for second base. All three are showing up to advantage, and u stiff (Continued on page two) “How to Live at the Front’’ Wow at Library. Author, Hector Macquarrie, of Royal Field Artillery, Gives Tips. “How to Live at the Front,” a book full of tips for American soldiers, writ ten by Hector Macquarrie, second lieu tenant of the Royal Field artillery, lias been received at the University library. Four copies of the book have been or dered, and will be placed on the shelves. In the preface the author says: “Dur ing my stay in America I have been asked many questions about things at the front. I want to point out to you the little things in warfare, the or dinary personal things, the things that are no* a bit thrilling or exciting. In the process I hope to show you how to avoid making other people, as well a3 yourself, suffer; the other people may be your comrades, your family or your nation. ‘It has many times been said that America will profit by England’s mis takes—no one hopes that more than j do I.” A few of the chapter headings are: i Aspects of Discipline; 1’ehind the Firing Line; Your English Cousins; The Fou legged Recruit; Trench Life; Gas and Other Fancies; The Folks at Home. The style in which the book is writ ten is informal, and the suggestions and information given would be helpful to the prospective soldier. Another new war book, “On the Field of Honor,” by Hughes Le Roux, has been reecived at the library and is ready for jdrpulatioDL _ . GIRLS VOTE DECIDES Oil CAMPUS LURCH Unversity Women Must Agree to Pay Tax, Is Verdict of Women’s League on Annual Event. ♦ April Frolic Discussed in Meet ing of Co-eds ;Prizes to Be Awarded for Costumes. Whether or not the women's league will serve the annual campus luncheon junior week-end, will be left to the vote of the women of the University, it was decided at the meeting: of th executive board of the women's league, held at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow, Thursday afternoon. “I think moat of us want the lunch eon,” said Helene Delano, president of the league, “and we think it wonld be a shame to give it up, especially since we served such an economical luncheon last fall at homeeoming week-end. At that time we received one-half the sum whieh we usually receive from the stu dent hotly for the luncheon, and then we returned half of that. “However, there was a lot of grum bling on paying the tax by some of the girls, and a few refusetT'to pay it. This made it hard for the luncheon com mittee, who were no more interested in the luncheon than the rest should have been. Therefore, if we give the lunch eon this junior week-end. we want the girls to be unified in doing it. and come and pay 'their tax willingly.” It was decided by the executive board that a mass meeting should be called after spring vacation, at which time tin girls can express their opinions, and at which a vote will be taken in regard 'to the matter. April frolic plans were discussed, and it was decided to stage the event tbs third Saturday after vacation. All wo iinen’s fraternities and organisations are urged to put on stunts, and emphasis will also be placed on individual cos tumes. , Mrs. T. II. Douglas, a member of the hoard of directors of the Consumers’ league, from Portland, will speak at the assembly hour for women’s league, on May 8, according to Gladys Conklin, chairman of the committee for securing a speaker. “Mrs. Dougins comes highly recom mended as being a very good speaker,” ■says Miss Conklin. Thelma Bauman and Mable Van 7,nnt are spending the week-end in Portland. Women Needed in Food Cam paign, Says A. M. Churchill. Miss Tingle Would Prepare Her Classes to Help Hoover Save Supplies. The United States food administra tion expressed a desire to utilize th 3 forces of the women of the University in its campaign for conservation, through Arthur M. Churchill, a lawyer of Port land, who is now state conservation chairman, when he spoke to the class in war economies yesterday morning. “The food administration is trying to get across to the vasrr numbers of people the importance of the large scale on wbieh food must be saved,’’ said Mr. Churchill. “The organization is good, but the problem is how to get to the women. There are a lot of people who must know how to do what they want to do,” Mr. Churchill pointed out that the nation hud always taken the matter of food rather lightly, but now food is sacred; it means some one’s life. Ac cording to him, the United States must supply food to the allies because, since Australia is four times as far away as this country, ships cannot be spared to carry the grain lying waste on the wharves in Australia. It is Miss Lilian Tingle’s plan, she said, to prepare her students in food economics so un to enable them to help the food administration in its eampuign of missionary work. She wants the girls, when they separate for the sum mer, to continue the work, even if they haven’t the authority of recognition from Hie food admim*tMl,>on.

DEADY LEADS BUILDINGS IN THRIFT STAMP RACE Campaign Hot; Three Houses Have $1 a Member per Month as Minimum. The thrift campaign on the campus, with A. R. Tiffany, registrar, in charge, waxes hooter and hotter, until the cam paign honor roll is beginning to look like a full-grown directory of nil the fraternities, dormitories, clubs and Uni versity buildings. Full reports have been slow in com ing in, owing to luck of organization and decision as to just how far the col lege poeketbook would stretch. Mr. Tiffany, however, says that it’s running very close of 100 per cent efficiency. First report show Dandy Ilall in the lead among the building divisions of the work, with a subscription which totals almost $300. Of the fraternities, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma und Chi Omega have $1 a month for every member, the mini mum of service.

ADVANCE MADE TOO SLOW Former Fault of Having Scout? To Close to Main Body Is Corrected. A sham battle between divided fo?cea of the University battalion, in the rioiu ity of the cemetery and University field. Thursday at drill hour, Comfort’* and Sheehy'g companies attempting recon naissance and an advance on Eickhoffa and Crandall’s companies in ambush, re sulted in practically a tie, according tb the decisions of the umpires, Lientenant Colonel John Leader and Captain Eric W. Allen. • Two platoons under Second Lieuten ants Lind und Mullnrky. were entrenched in ambush in a cut beyond the cemetery, at the opening of the fight, with two others, under Crandall end Waugh, to the east of their forces. Opponents Sighted. Comfort’s army marched down Uni versity street, an advance guard ptO. ceding them on the lookout for tht enemy. By reconnoitering, the outposts sighted land and Mullarky’a entrenched men and reported to their commanding I officer. “The trouble with the advance at flrat, as in fact all the time during the battle, was that it was too alow,’’ declared one of the umpires yesterday. “The mis take, always made before, of not tend ing the flankers out far enough in all directions to locate the enemy, waa not made this time, however.” The outposts also sighted Crandall’s forces southeast of the cemetery, who, scattered umong the houses, were try ing to look like a whole regiment in order to deceive the advancing party 1 ns to the location of the Lind and Mnl lnrky platoons. Comfort sent Second Lieutenant Koepke to meet Crandall. Koepke too Muoh In Open. Koepke’s platoon crossed the open field.

Lead er Can Reach High Stand ard of Efficiency. Further praise for the work of ifca University battalion and for Colonel Leader, is expressed by Leslie 'l'ooae, ’16, in a letter to Harry Grain, received yesterday. Toone visited the University Inst week from Oi.mp Lewis, where he is a first lieutenant, stationed with the 864th infantry. While here, be gave a series of lectures on musketry before I Colonel Lender’s classes in ndiitBiy seiene*. Toore is enthusiastic over the spirit with which the men of the University are entering upon the study of military matters and close formation drill, and is especially pleased at the rapid prof ress made possible by the high standiTd of intelligence of the Oregon men. His letter follows: He said: “Really, I was tremendously interest ed in your military organisation, and I ithiuk it has untold possibilities. I con eider the Hhowing they have made with their comparatively brief training as quite remarkabls. Of course, the boys are not finished soldiers, but it oannot be expected that they should be. With men of such intelligence it should be possible to perfect a very efficient mili tary machine, and I believe yon are ap proaching as rapidly as limited time and the necessary distractions of studies and other college duties will permit, a high standard of efficiency. I was greatly pleased last Friday in the combat prob lem. to note the improvement over the problem of the previous day. The event ! simply illustrated that with intelligent men it is not bard for them to grasp [ situation*.’’
