While little of the stuff dope is made of can come from from Saturday's ten me between Multnomah and Oregon due to the early season and the severe inroads made on practices ns well as upon the final line-up for Oregon’s first game, it demonstrates one important thing. Oregon Spirit still lives on the Oregon campus. No dope sheet on Oregon is complete without n reckoning for the Oregon fight. Many have been made in recent years without considering the asset Ore gon has always had in addition to what other Universities could show with the same men on the field. That is why Oregon lias upset “dope" year after year until Oregon cannot he “figured” by those who will not reckon the Ore gon Spirit. “Oregon’s individual players and (heir showing in early games plus Ore ■ gon Spirit Oregon will win.” It used to sound like a “bum” emmet some eight or ten years ago but. it lias grown to have a lot of weight. New conditions have come with tho war, however. The student body has changed fast at Oregon and given the old Oregon men little chnnco to hand down the traditional Oregon Spirit and Oregon fight on the football field to the new men. So the big question that could be decided, the only . one that could be decided under the circumstanc es, was in regard to the question, "Has Oregon this year still backed by the old Oregon fight?" Led by a banmul of old Oregon nini scattered through the bleuvhers at Sat urday’s game thi* aoni*' fou hundred now Oregon men answered the question in the affirmative, f “Oregon will win!” It came out strong, this manifesta tion of the (Oregon fight. The game was particularly suited to test Oregon’s new men. Oregon was not winning. It is traditional of the Oregon Spirit that it sends On non teams into the game to win and 1 ok*, them as winning teams until the last. k defeated team at the Oregon field is hueked as strongly as a victorious one; when an Oregon team comes bank without victory. as has hap pened occasionally during the last fif teen or twiuty years, the men are wel comed as enthusiastically as it they had won, for Oregon men know that, with the Oregon fight of the players and the Oregon fight ofsthe supporters, Oregon is iilwax , a winning team. Occasional (lef* ata sustained h,v Oregon only give the real Ota non Spirit a chance to show and always the Oregon fight is strength ened. Oregon’s rooting at the Sat.nrda.i game, of course, was not so atrnog as it used to be and must 1«* improved so that the men **n the field call feel It more. Saturday’s rooting is notable be. cause the men who gave it supported their team w«ll in a game that was lost. They had already something of the Ore gon Spirit without knowing particularly well the Oregon veils. The Oregon Spirit hud come first. When the Spanish influenza looses its grip on Oregon activity tunl again per mits Oregon’s fuiJ line-up to get on the field, it will also permit yell practice something denied the new men whc backed Oregon Saturday. Then Ore gon’s real strength on the field will b« backed by the old fight. DON’T WORRY According to the latest reports Spanish Flu is still with us but the numbers arc not greatly increasing and no cases have yet proved very serious, so why worry; Worry endangers the health, it does j not help out the fellow who has the Flu j and is altogether needless, useless and harmful. We are all doing our best to avoid a serious epidemic, and in this everyone has a part. If you feel ill and fear you are coming down with Flu the only sen sible thing to do is to go to hod and stay there or at least avoid other people who might catch it from you. The essential difference between the civilized man and the savage is ex j pressed in our daily routine by "No man j liveth unto himself." Right now our | greatest civic obligation is to the gen ' eral health of the T'niversity. So it is up to every student to observe the health rules outlined by the Health Committee , and not worry. Heal health means more than strength of muscle, it means endurance, energy, self control, will power, and courage. It is essential to conserve all | these by wise exercise, fresh air, suffi cient rest, wholesome food, and cheer ful outlook. One of the greatest victories man has achieved is thnt of science over disease and the spread thereof. Now Ft. us apply all the science that we know and prevent further spread of sickness on the campus. It has long been a favoril* amuse ment of the Germans to refer slighting ly to President Wilson as the school master. Very well. Now the ‘‘school master” turns on them and insists that they enroll in a stiff course of the three U’s—Retreat, Reparation, and Repent ance. DON ORPUT, ’15, ENROLLS Former Oregon Yoll Lendor Momber of S. A. T. C. A now nrrivnl on the campus is Don T Orput of Oregon, '10. Mr. Orput has returned to the University to enroll in a branch of the limited service, either Ordnance or Quartermaster’s. As a student, of the University Don Orput was well known as yell leader and also for his connection with the Dramatic department ns coach of the Senior ('lass 1 ’lay of ’l>r>. Upon completion of his course at Ore gon, Mr. Orput took a position of His tory teacher in Washington High School, Portland, Oregon, lie has lately been connected with the Foundation Ship yards paper, “Do Your Hit. Mr. Orput has been trying for some tinvo to get into some branch of limited service. FRATERNITIES FIND HOMES Sigma Chi, A. T. 0., Phi Gamma Deltas and Delta Tau's Located. Ml hough their quarters are not so commodious or convenient for the most part as they have been for several years, vet most of the men’s fraternities on the campus have selected some place to hold their meetings. With thur own houses turned over to the government, the fra ternities have had to hunt- some new places for their headipiarters. Two fraternities have rooms down town. The Sigma Ohis are in the De l.aao building on Willamette street, and the A. T. O.’s have rooms over the Wool worth store. The lletas have a house at Twelfth and Ililyard, and the Phi (lamina Deltaq have their headquarters at (1. K. 1 .> li man's at 1-110 Alder street. The Delta Tans have a little house on Alder street, near 7th, As yet the Phi Delta, the Sigma Xus and the Kitppi Sigs have not selected their places. They hope to he located in a few days. SPHAGNUM WORK TO START 1 niversitly women are to tvgiu piek iitg over th<> sphagnum moss for the K-v, t'ross as soon as conditions aro normal, according to Professor A. K. Nwoctser, in charge of the collection of ilic moss in Oregon. Women a* tn> l 1 iver-ity of Washington did the same work there last year, and are to e. n tmue st this year. CREDIT (IIS FOR FOOD ME READY Miss Tingle Has Certificates for Women Who Have Finished Work All girls who did not receive their United States Food Administration cer tificates at the close of the food conser vation courses last term should see Miss Lilian Tingle, head of the home econ omics department, during the coming two weeks. The rent on for their not being issued was explained by Miss Tingle as due both to her unexpected absence at that time and later to the desire of many of the girls to continue in the work, and have their certificates held until the completing, of more courses. Each cer tificate bears the titles of the three I courses offered here with an additional | space for any other course bearing on j food and the war, so that if the entire j group is liken the certificate means I much more to the holder. However ! those girls not intending to do further I work should see Miss Tingle os to theirs j j right away. Courses Kept Up to Date. The three courses being offerd are: ! j i. Food and the War. 2. Food and ! Nutrition in relation to the War. 2. 1 ! Laboratory work in Use and Oonserva I tion of Food. Each one is kept strict ! ly ii]) to date and the government is urg . ing all students who possibly can take them to do so. Whether war or I peace, th food situation will remain nun h the same for some time yet. Number one is a two-hour course to he given Tuesday and Friday at eleven i | or Monday and Wednesday at three, j ! The others are given three times n I week, number two on Monday, Wednes- J J day and Friday at one, and number! three on Tuesday and Thursday from J two to four, and on Wednesday at one. Courses two and three may be offered for credit as equivalents or pre-requis jtes in the home economics department. Lectures Open to Visitors.

Housekeepers .and students too busy to take the regular work will bo welcomed to these lectures, which will be given in Mary Kpiller hall, j Number three being a laboratory course can hardly bo open to visitors. Ilecent letters from the administra tion state that whereas last year pres sure was brought to bear on the conser vation of different foods such as wheat, meat and sugar at different times, this year the pressure will be on all the points at the same time. People are being urg ed to buy less, eat less and chew more. SOCIETY NOTES Il Top Sergeant -Tim Mott, an ’.18 Ore gon graduate, spent the week-end in Salem. Itev.

WOMEN EARN $600 44 Girls Average Returns for First Month’s Work. forty-four University women who are working their way through college have earned more than six hundred dollars since the beginning of the school year. They have done stenographic work, clerking, tutoring, waiting on table, sew ing and caring for children. There are also many odd jobs on Saturdays, according to Miss Tirza Dinsdale, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., but few girls are available. The number of girls applying for work through the Y. W. O. A. this year averages one third less than last year. The reason for this decrease, thinks Miss Dinsdale, is that many girls obtain ed good positions during the summer and feel it to their advantage to stay with (hem. Others earned enough dur ing the summer to make it unnecessary to work during the school year. ] NEW ASSISTANT ARRIVES Lieutenant Armin I!.
