Enrollment increasing Fast;
660 on Books Before
Holidays.
200 STUDENTS ARE LATE
IN SIGNING FOR WORK
Fine for Tardy Ones not to be
Assessed this Term,
Says Tiffany.
With approximately 1050 students reg
istered up to date in the University this
term, the enrollment continues to in
crease and is already larger than at this
time last year. It is expected that the
enrollment will soon reach the 1100 rec
ord made when the S. A. T. C. 'vas here
during the fall term. This is a rapid in
crease iu registration, since there were
only 0G0 students signed up for work in
the University at the beginning of the
new term.
About 200 students have registered
late, 40 of whom were old students who
have recently been mustered out of gov
ernment service. The ruling which im
jioscd a fine of one dollar for all late
registrants, was waived for this term,
Registrar A. R. Tiffany said today, due
to. the general misunderstanding of the
registration time limits and to the in
fluenza epidemic in many parts of the
state.
The enrollment figures include 150
special commerce students, whose term
will not end until February 1.
A gratifying feature of the new en
rollment is the total of 50 who are taking
work in the School of Law.

Ex-Soldier Revels
In Civilian Life; No
Reveille, No Taps
Sis o’clock sounded. The former sol
dier rolled over on his downy bed.
grunted, and went to sleep again. His
worries were over- No more did he
have to arise in the middle of the night
at the bidding of the bugle, struggle into
ft cold, clammy uniform, and race out to
the cold street, to perform unbeliev
able contortions in the name of the all
compelKmg physical exercise.
Seven o’clock, eight,' nine, passed
without disturbing him in the slightest.
Finally at 0:30 he arose and donned his
easy-fitting suit of “cits” at his leisure,
in a warm room, and sauntered forth.
Ho spent the morning where he pleased.
Bunch was eaten slowly, and enjoyed.
No drill, mra kitchen police, no fatigue
duty, no reveille, no physical exercteo;
absolutely none of the old routine. The
former soldier smiled to himself. This
was real life.
That afternoon he journeyed about the
town. There was no more confinement
to 'barracks or garrisoni; no more need
for faldng passes- In the shows 'he did
not need to dodge the military police.
He was a citizen of the United .States
again, and ns such, he had swine rights
and privileges. Again he smiled. It
was great.
; But the best part of all came at 10
1 o’clock atright. He did not have to
jump into bed with his clothes ora, and
snore gently when the N. C. O. in charge
of quarters took bed check. He could
go to bed when be pleased- No one
knew when bo would, and no one cared.
: He was really free. No wondmier the ox
j soldier smiled.
Cause Unknown: Two Men Play
Heroes: Furniture and
House Insured.
Alpha Tau Omega awoke yesterday
morning to find their chapter house on
Oak street on fire. Firemen worked
about an hour before getting the fire un
der control. The damage is estimated at
about $3,000.
The fire apparently started in the
basement, but it is not known what caus
ed it to break out. When the men were
aroused by the smoke about 7:30 flames
were leaping the entire length of the
chute which extends from the cellar to
the second floor. Shortly after the fire
department appeared on the scene, angry
flames blazed up through the roof and
when they began to spread, ladders were
hastily put up and one of the fireman,
preceded by a venturesome young tar,
presumably a member of the fraternity,
ascended to the slippery frost-covered
roof and assisted in stopping the con
flagration.
Half of Furniture Destroyed.
Thirty-five hundred dollars is the
value placed by the A. T. O.’s or. their
furniture, about half of which is thought
to have been ruined by the fire, smoke
and water. The center of the house,
through which the chute extends, and the
roof is badly burned.
The furniture and the house, which
belongs to J. Baugh, of Springfield, are
said to be covered by insurance.
Men Play Heroes.
Besides the gob on the roof another
hero was discovered in the house. When
one of the boys rushed into the room of
Don Oxman, a sophomore, and shaking
him, exclaimed, “Don, the house is on
fire!” Oxman replied, “All right, if it
gets serious, let me know,” and he turn
ed over for another nap. lie was one of
the last to leave the house, but when he
did leave he departed in a hurry.

elect. would return to college this month.

enza and so cannot return this term.

the editor in such a case, and will do so
at its meeting Wednesday evening at 7

but during the last few days a man has
been suggested. Wednesday night will
see the election.

on the results of the campaign carried
on for subscriptions just before the holi
days. .Tack Dundorc, chairman of the
committee, says hi' is sure (>.">0 subscrip
tions were obtained at that time. He urg
es that all of those still having books
out turn them in as soon as possible to
him. Manager Peterson has not yet made

will use to make the Oregana a financial
success.
