Bovard. i Friday's health report shows 204 cas ?s, an increase of less than 30 cases over the previous day.

Nothing Serious Expected f No serious cases have been reported, all being cases of colds and fevers held well in check.

Of this number, 104 were in the S. A. T. C. and 39 in the O. T. C. The S. A. T. C. men were dis tributed as follows: Mercy hospital 40, Eugene hospital 2, S. A. T.

O OREGON A MODEL FOR MW WORK ill iiiiiurnm?!rn Chancellor Elliott of Montana Praises War Ac tivities. Tht> University of Oregon is bring beld tip to other colleges in the AVestby Chancellor Edward S. Elliott. of the University of Montana, head of the edu cational section of the western depart ment of the Students’ Army Training Corps, as a model of what can be ac complished along military lines by an educational institution.

Elliott had spent the morning in specting the military plant of the Uni versity. in the course of a tour of the different colleges in his jurisdiction, lie was taken over the campus by Persi dent Campbell and viewed the barracks under construction to accommodate S. A. T. C. men who will come in larger numbers after the end of the present university term. Commends Military Work In his remarks at the luncheon after ward, Chancellor Elliott expressed his strong commendation of the military work of the University of Oxegon, The colleges have demonstrated in a wonderful way. he said, their ability to handle the multiplicity of details in the organization of the S. A. T. C. They have been able to make, as a rule, all the arrangements necessary to put, the organizations into working order. Tt now remains to be seen, he concluded, what they can do in a collegiate way for the young men whose military training they are handling so admirably. Emphasize Intensive Work Chancellor Elliott emphasized the nec essity of the colleges doing intensive work with the men and completely revo lutionizing their courses of study. “The colleges must give the men exactly what they need to make them competent of ficers,” ho said., “and they must do this work in a very short time.” Mr. Ellioctt went over the courses of study offered here with President Campbell. He is particularly anxious that the course in War Aims be em phasized. At his suggestion, members of the faculty will assist Professor U. C. Clark in the lecture work. Mr. El liott said yesterday that this course is of particular importance in that it teaches the men soou to be officers, just why we are at war, so that they can convince the men under them beyond the shadow of a doubt of the justifica tion of our part in the conflict. EMERALD STAFF ENLARGED City Ed'tor Appoints Fivo Assistants for Reportoria! Work Assistants on the editorial staff, just appointed by the city editor, are announced in this issue. They are Hel en McDonald, Louise Davis, Diva Bag ley, Frances Stiles and Stella Sullivan, veteran reporters of last year’s Emerald staff. The staff of assistants is to he much larger, and members of the ele mentary newswriting class and other students interested in journalism, are now serving their term of probation of one month before being placed on the staff. The Emerald “O”, awarded last year for the first time, to members of the ed itorial and business staffs, who did sat isfactory work on the paper throughout the college year, will be given again this year to those doing consistent work, on recommendation by the editors. There is an especial demand this year for men to try out for the xeportorial staff, since very few of last year’s men are back. Anyone wishing to win a place on the staff, is urged to call at the Emer ald office for assignments. OREGANA QUESTION UP The question as to the possibility of publishing an Oregana this year will he derided at a meeting of the executive council Monday evening. There may he a special edition of the Emerald for the seniors. Another plan offered is that of e paper-backed annual Mystery Even Deeper Than Usual Pervades Fraternity Circles Mystery usually centers around a Greek leter fraternity, but mystery in the u-th dgree surrounds the actions of one fraternity on the campus. It is firmly believed that some medium must, be among the chapter roll. You se, it’s this way. One day in front of a little, nay. tiny, house that now serves as a meting place for the dear brothers, was seen n. huge table as large as the little house itself. The table had been of normal size in the fraternity house that was occupied last year before 1'ncle Sam asked the men to turn over their chapter houses to hini, but now it was of ah-nh-ab norrnal size. Onlookers worried all day as to where the table would be put in the house and their dreams were troubled that night by the vision of the big table standing in front of the little house. In the morning when 'they arose wan and weary and hurried for another glimpse of the puzzling sight, they were shock ed beyond belief The little house had evidently swal lowed the table for no other trace of it could be found The impossible had Been accomplished, and they are still worrying Mmiy of th men’s frnternitis have al ready obtained their small houses or group of rooms for their meetings and they are having unite a time adapting themselvs and their furniture to their new quarters.

Monroe, Virginia, and is now hack at Fort Stevens again. “At Fort Monroe,” said Lieutenant McDonald, “as T took instruction In heavy artillery, mathematics was the thing for which the stage was always set. The course only required a good knowledge of trigonometry and algebra, but one must he entirely familiar with those branches. Of course we did have to work very hard indeed, lulf it cer tainly is something that I shall never re gret.” According to lieutenant McDonald, heavy artillery is the most fascinating branch of (ho service for anyone who is interested in mathematics. Tie says, “There is so much more to it than T ever dreamed of but the more I study it the more I want to get to France and to put some of m.v theoritienl knowledge into actual practice.” -•- -• FIVE UP FOR HONORS SO FAR Complete List of Caaditlatos Will Bo Given Out Soon.
