HOME NURSING MID
WE OF CHILDREN,
COURSE TO BE GIVEN
Equipment in Domestic Science
Department Sufficient to
Accommodate Students
“Home nursing and the care of.
children” is a new course to be of
fered in the domestic science depart
ment if present plans are carried out j
by Miss Lilian Tingle, head of the j
department. Plans are still in their;
infancy, but it is believed that con-1
siderable interest will be manifested
in the new class. An instructor has
not yet been selected.
Equipment in the department is
now sufficient to accommodate the
overly large enrollment in the classes
this year, according to Miss Tingle,
in previous years the enrollment in
these classes had to be limited on
account of lack of space in which
to conduct them. The cooking labor
atories have been enlarged to meet
the demand of the increasing num
bers and there is now room for 22
students where before there was
only room for 10.
With Miss Tingle, who is instructor
in food preparation and food econ
omics, are Miss Antoinette Shumway,
instructor in housewifery, textiles and
dress designing, sewing and food
preparation, and Miss Helen Rhodes,
instructor in home decoration, under
her.
“The enrollment in this depart
ment was much heavier than usual
this year,” said Miss Tingle, “But
the classes have been weeded out to
the specified number that can be
accommodatel now. The sewing
classes were exceptionally large at
first but they have been cut down
considerably.”
The new laboratories make it
possible for girls taking food econ
omics to try experiments, something
this class has never had room to
undertake before. Considerable new
equipment has been supplied the de
partment this year consisting of in
dividual gas stoves for each student,
scales and various kitchen utensils.
They are also looking for new cup
boards soon.
It is now possible for girls to
get sewing and cooking four day s a
week for the school year, satisfying
one group unit requirement. The
tuition fee is five dollars.
More Students Accepted
“Having the new food laboratories
has made it possible to take more
students in this department this year
than ever before,” stated Miss Tingle.
“There are two sections in both
food preparation and food economics
this semester, the latter a subject
which every girl should take up.”
A series of luncheons are now in
progress by the girls of the cooking
classes. Members of the class take
turns about preparing these lunch
eons while the rest of the class par
take. They are allowed to spend only
a limited amount of money, to use
a limited amount of time in prepar-:
ing and must not exceed the day’s j
ration for a woman at sedentary i
work.
“It is our earnest desire to get
away from the laboratory idea of
cooking as much as possible,” con
fided Miss Tingle this morning, “and
to make the girls feel as though
they were preparing food in their
own kitchens.”
SHORT STORY PRIZE RAISED

m IBIISEVITS
WAS STAR POKER PLAYER AND
EX-CHAMPION “BONE
ROLLER"
Former Student, Lucky Overseas, is
Married and in Business
at Klamath Falls
Clifford Sevits, a major in the
school of journalism and prominent
member of the Emerald staff when
he attended the University in 1916-17,
is the subject of a short story in
the columns of “The Fightin’ Fools,”
a miniature newspaper written by
David W. Hazen, which appears on
the editorial page of the Portland
Telegram every Saturday. In his
“paper” Hazen publishes interesting
bits about Oregon boys who have re
turned from service, particularly the
boys in the 65th and 69th regiment
field artillery and the old coast ar
tillery companies.
Following is the story about Sevits:
Clifford Sevits, star “freezeout”
player and ex-champion “bone-roller”
of battery C, -65th artillery, is now
working in civilian clothes selling
hardwood and softwood furniture to
people down Klamath Falls way.
Clifford is also learning the secret
of how two can live as cheaply as
one, having become a married man
last July. It is said of Private Sevits
that during the activities in the army
poker campaigns he amassed enough
money at times immediately after
pay days to buy several French vil
lages and have enough cash left over
to tip the real estate dealer who sold
the towns. Of course, this may only
have been a rumor—rumors about
almost everything went the rounds
over there. So it is not put down
as history—nor as Action, neither.
And the boys do say that the colonel
sometimes borrowed money from Clif
ford. This also may be folklore. No
one but the colonel and Sevits knows.

MEDICAL SCHOOL COLUMN
By Ira C. Manville
ENROLLMENT IS 99;
52 ARE FRESHMEN;
NEW BUILDING FULL
Registration Surprises Faculty;
Entry Requirements May
Be Stiffened
Portland, Ore., Oct. 14.— (Special)
—The University of Oregon school
of medicine began what will un
doubtedly be the biggest and most
promising year of its history when
it opened its doors September 29 and
30 for registration
“We fully expected and were pre
pared to receive a freshman class of
35—beyond that we had made np
definite plans,” said Miss Lucy, sec
retary to the assistant dean and re
gistrar.
Dr. W. F. Allen, who has charge
of most of the first year work, laugh
ed grimly and said, “We have al
ready outgrown our new building and
have not yet occupied it a year. My
laboratories were built to accommo
date 32 to 36—the largest laboratory
in the building can handle 40, so you
can see what we are up against.”
By Tuesday night the registration
for the freshman class had reached
a total of 52 students and 2 "spe
cials.”
Dr. Allen and Mr. Thienes in his
tology, Mr. Jones and Mr. Foster in
anatomy, solved their difficulties by
dividing the class into two sections,
A and B. While one section is tak
ing anatomy the other is working in
the histology laboratory. The next
period the two sections alternate and
so on. Dr. Haskins and Mr. Osgood
are putting two students to a locker
in chemistry and running the entire
class in one section.
13 in Senior Class
At present there are exactly 99
students registered in the medical
school, divided among the classes as
follows:
Freshmen, 52; specials, 2; sopho
mores, 16; juniors, 16; seniors, 13;
total, 99.
Of the freshmen one is from the
Philippines, 4 from Washington, 41
from Oregon, 2 from California, 1
from Iowa, and 1 from Ireland. They
received their preparation from the
following schools: Reed college, 3;
Albany college, 1; Morningside col
lege, 1; U. of O., 30; O. A. C., 3;
W. S. C., 1; McMinnville college, 3;
U. of W., 4; Whitman, 1; University
of Minnesota, 2; Pacific university, 1;
Gongaza college, 1, and Mt. Angell, 1.
Oregon institutions prepared 42 of
the freshmen for entry into the med
ical school; California prepared 2;
Washington 6, and Minnesota 2.
There are 14 sophomores whose
homes are in Oregon, one in Idaho
and one in Washington. They re
ceived their preparation as follows:
McMinnville, 3; IT of W„ 1; O. A. C.J
1; Idaho, 1; Orepon 6; Reed, 2; :
Berkeley, 1, and Willamette, 1.
Thirteen juniors are from Oregon
and three from Washington. Oregon
prepared 11; O. A. C. 2; Pacifiic
university, 1, and U. of W., 2. There
are two Japanese and one Greek in
the senior class. Eight seniors have,
their homes in Oregon, 1 in Califor
nia, 3 in Washington and one in the
Philippines. Reed prepared 1; Ore
gon, 6; Los Angeles, 1; Washington,
3; the Philippines, 1, and O.A.C., 1.
Of the total student body 77 came
from Oregon insttitutions, 12 from
Washington, 4 from California, 2!
from Minnesota, 1 from Idaho and 1;
from the Philippines.
The tremendous inhibitory effect of
the war upon the natural growth of
educational institutions is seen in
this sudden and marked increase in
registration. The growth that should |
have spread itself equally over a
period of three or four years has ex
pressed its pent-up forces in this sud
den increase.
That the entering classes will be
limited to 50, or even considerably
less, seems to be the only alternatiye
for the future. The “powers that be”
face two propositions, viz: Build
another unit to the school immediate
ly or limit the class to a certain
maximal number by raising entry re
quirements.
