Everyone who bus ever pone to college knows that no mutter how large an allowance a student 1ms, be nlwtays needs more money. But each student has a certain amount and each faces the question, For what is my money to be spent?? It nearly always seems impossible to make the amount available cover all the things deemed worth while to use it for. Right there is where the difficulty comes—to decide on the relative impor tance and desirability of the thousands ; of channels for money. A great many luxuries come in the guise of college ne cessities, but if we stop for one minute to think how a Russian student, in his eagerness for rm education lives in an unheated room during long, severe win ter months and subsists on an unbeliev ably small amount of poor food, it makes It easy to deckle that a number of the things before dubbed necessities tare in reality luxuries. la this war time when we are called upon to give up our luxuries that the boys over there may have their necessi ties, it will be nn easy matter to find revenue which before purchased deli cti ies which can be given to the war! •work fund. No student lias a right to refuse to give anything. And there is only occa sionally a student who acts as if lie i were in a class by himself. He is the one who reads his neighbor's Emerald and who approves of the V. M. t\ A. but does not feel moved to support it. Thank goodness, this sort of an individ ual is rare at Oregon! Our Economics professors teach that money is valuable onl.i for what it will buy. If it is boarded up it is worth no more than an equal amount of paper or metal. If it is invested in war work funds it can bring untold happiness and well being to stir boys in khaki and blue. Each one of the six organisations rep- i resented ii tiu? war drive are in a po sition to expend our money for us where Arthur is R. C. tide of Roseburg Claude Asquith of Portland, . lid Geo.

Six Men From Bremerton Give Invaluable Service During Influenza Epidemic. The six students sent here from the training station at Bremerton to rom piete their premedie work before at tending the regular medical navy school, have given their full time to nursing in fluenza patients a*, the two men’s infirm aries on the eampus. They have been do ing t'ais work for the past three weeks and are attending no classes. Walter Bauman Paul Hamilton and Arthur Ritter are stationed at the Phi Gamma Delta house infirmary, while Harold Connelly, Max Wilkins and Boyd Haynes are giving their services at the old Phi Delta Theta house. These men are all graduate nurses and experienced .Vickies. They are special students and are not included with the fifty other men who are here on the campus for their apprentice work. Volunteer Work Appreciated. The volunteer service given by these sailor lads is typical of the work of a great number of persons in behalf of the Pniversity during the influenza epidemic. Townspeople have given and are still giving their time and services in caring j for the needs of the infirmary inmates, | as well as are the able students. It has j been through (he efforts of these work-j ers that the use of everything from au- j tomobiles to rocking chairs and bed j linen has been lent to the campus infirm aries for the comfort of the sick. With the Eugene schools closed, the teachers have fallen into service here on the campus. It is the teachers who practically kept the.ball rolling at the Pniversity health office in Deady hall until other help was finally obtained. Some of them even saved the day at the Phi Gamma Delta infirmary by doing the cooking there. “And dandy good cooks they are,” says Dr. .1. F. Bovard, who is chairman of the Pniversity health committee. Chairman Expresses Gratitude. Dr. Bovard w mts it made known that he- is deeply appreciative and grateful for every hit of assistance given during the influenza c" sis. He wishes to say , a good word to all the helpers, whether | they be Boy Scouts, teachers, students, f >wnsp< ople, private individuals, and es pecially to the gob-nurses. BARRACKS READY MONDAY Company A Reassigned to Squads Moving to New Quarters. for According to present plans, Company A. will begin to move into the new bar racks Monday morning. At Friday at-, ternoon drill the men of this company were reassigned to squads, and perma nent sergeants and corporals were ap pointed. The_ men nil! be quartered in their new home according to squads. All of Company A. could not be sent to the new barracks on account of lack of room, so about thirty were transferred from the Kappa Sigma house to the Del- i ta Tan house and heuceforth will belong to Company 1>. It was originally planned to have the I men move on Saturday, the second of ! November, but, because it is desired to dry the barracks out well, the heaters will be fired up for two days before the ; men move in.

ERNEST CROCKATT IN PUSH Professor’s Brother V/ounded in Arras Cambrai Drive. Ernest Crockatt, a brother of Peter Crockatt, instructor in economics in the University, was wounded in the big Ar ras-Cambrai cirive according to a letter received by Professor Crockatt. Mr. Crockatt, as a member of the 10th Ca nadian Machine Gun company went over the top and while leading the company through some newly raptured ground he was struck in the left shoulder by an explosive bullet. It is against interna tional law to use these bullets for they explode after they touch the body. lie said that “he kept on paying some hills.” At the time the letter was written Mr. Crockatt was in the 2nd Western Genera! hospital in Manchester, England. Mr. Crockatt is a graduate of the Pendleton high school and he attended the Spokane University a year and a half before enlisting in the Canadian army. Mr. Crockatt is a native of Scotland and as soon ns he is able to leave the hospi tal in Manchester he plans to visit his relatives in Glasgow, Scotland. Volunteer Day, Friday!
