ARMISTICE DAY
There Is but little doubt that a i
national holiday celebrating peace fol
lowing the great world war will be
set' by congress before another year
is ended. Until that time, however,
November 11, armistice day, is vivid
in the minds of most of us as the
proper day for celebration. The best
manner for the University student
body to adopt in showing its patriotic
zeal on that day is perhaps a bit dif
ficult to decide, hut certain aspects
of the matter seem fairly certain.
The day must not be given over to
a hilarious rally or Jazz parado.
Neither must it be used for picnics
or pursuit of porsonal pleasure.
Armistice day, like the fourth of
July, should be a day of thought and
renewed efforts toward better citi
zenship. Us inlluenco should be es
sentially to arouse national spirit and
to renew the bond of purpose which
reigned during the war. The stu
dents of the University or Oregon
must not let pass tills opportunity
to assist in tlu> proper inauguration
of what will go down Into history j
as a. tradition as full of moaning as
our great Independence day.
FORGET THE INFLUENZA
During tills time lust your the cam
pus was held in the tar-reaching
grasp of the influenza epidemic. The
resulting Buffering, confusion and set
backs in activity which were every
where rampant do not need to be
mentioned. Autumn with its variety
of weather is with us again. Al
ready many students have colds, mild
cases of the la grippe and other
minor ailments caused by the first
rains and the changing of the weu
ther. Occasionally wo hear some
student remarking about the influen
za epidemic of last year and often
he goes further to say that he has
read in n recent paper about the flu
starting up in seme community or
the other. This is not only the fault
of a few but of many, who seem to
be tinable to forget the epidemic of
last year and who are continually
worrying about the influenza reaping
its toll again this year. For such
people the slightest cold or illness
means that influenza has started
•gain.
I
To these people and In fact to all, j
let us say, “forget it.” Forget that
there ever was such a sickness as
influenza and instead of going about
in a half horror that it is going to
start its unrelenting fury on this
earth again, take a few steps to
ward keeping it from reappearing.
Start now to take care of yourself.
Clothe your body in seasonable, dry,
warm clothing. If you get a cold
take immediate steps towards cur
ing it. Gargle your throat occasion
ally—it won’t hurt you. Keep your
body clean. Get plenty of fresh air
and exercise. Report to the infirm
ary when you feel the least bit
“groggy,” and, above all, get this
influenza idea out of your head.
II. TO AID HIGH SCUOOIS
EXTENSION DIVISION TO HELP
RELIEVE TEACHER SHORTAGE
Advanced Students Will Be Provided
With Special Work as In
structors
Owing to an inadequate teaching
staff in the many high schools of
the state, an effort is being made by
the extension division to help pro
vide special work for the more ad
vanced students.
This year there is an unusual num
ber of older students, especially
older boys who have been in the ser
vice and are taking advantage of the
state aid bill to continue their school
ing. One high school principal is
giving his older pupils work in me
chanical drawing, mathematics and
electricity, through correspondence
study. The students are to do the
work in school hours and receive
high school credit. Two or three
students from other schools are tak
ing special history and literature
courses not regularly included in the
high school schedule.
Other inquiries from both prin
cipals and students of high schools
have suggested a possible field of
service, and a letter has been sent
to the principal of each high school
suggesting the possibility of supple
menting the high school curriculum
should the principal or superlnten
dent deem It advisable.

Wide Range of Army and Navy
Topics Covered in Periodicals
Now on Shelves
Some lino military magazines have
been lately placed in the University
library, relating all sorts of experi
ences of the soldiers at the front
and in training camps.
Among them are the Army and
Navy Journal, and the Barrage, both
very fascinating. “Coming Facts,”
published in interest of returning
soldiers by the National War Work
Council of the Y. M. C. A. of the
United States, consists of jokes and
expressions of many returned soldiers,
it is full of humor and realism.
The Home Sector, a Marine week
ly, for the new civilian, is conduct
ed by the former editorial council
of 'flic Stars and Strips, the official ,
newspaper of the American Fxpedt- i
tionary Forces. It relates actual ex
periences of our tlobs and other in
teresting stories. It also contains a
Dizzy Section of jokes and many car
toons.
The Infantry Journal is very ver
satile, It touches nearly all the
phases of military life. It has con
tributions bv noted officers of both
the French and American army.
The Liason, “Courier of the Dig
Gun Corps," is a small magazine of
quality rather than quantity. Here
we are taken "with the Anti-aircraft
in France” and in another article
learn the "Educational System for
the American Soldier," from the Sec
re r ary of War.
The National Service is news from
the Coast Defenses, with the Inter
national Military Digest, by well
known American officers. Included
are military events, cartoons, and
"returned soldier" questions.
Many Out for Glee Club
Over 200 men turned out for the
University of Washington's men's
glee club tryouts which were held
recently. Of this number 32 were
selected.

ASSOCIATION MEETS
AND PLANS TOO YEAR
Marie Ridings Elected Treasur
er, Girl’s Hope to Equip Their
Playing Field Well
Marie Ridings, of Eugene, was
elected treasurer of the Women’s
Athletic association, at the first meet
ing of that body, held last Tuesday
at 5 p. m. in Guild hall. Plans for

of athletics open to them was urged
by the president, Jeannette Moss, who
assumed her duties for the first
time this year.
Vivian Chandler, chairman of the
membership committee, explained the
precess of becoming a member of
the association, pointing out that a

tenberg and Leah Wagner.

year are to be 50 cents, payable to
the treasurer before the next meet

will probably be held eacli month.
"Let it be the purpose of every mem
ber of the association to make the
athletic field of the women’s build
ing one of the best equipped of its
kind in the United States,” she
urged.

Although Oregon is not on the
bil for a contest this week, Saturday
will be one of the most important
days of the Pacific Coast conference.
At Corvallis the Aggies are slated
to take on the Stanford eleven, while
'Washington State meets California in
San Francisco. These two games
' will determine whether the north
west or the southwest is the strong
er on the gridiron. If California and
Stanford win their respective con
tests, it is practically certain that
the winner of the annual Stanford
j California clash wil be chosen as the
western representative at Pasadeno
on New Year’s day. If the northern
teams win it will be a question to
be decided in the northwest.
* * *
The Aggies are making extensive
plans for their Homecoming on Sat
urday. The stores of Corvallis are
all to be closed during the game
against Stanford and the day will be
given over to the classic.
* * *
“Butts” Reardon, who has been
out of the lineup in all of the early
season games, is back at the pilot
position and from reports from over
the way he is going beter than ever.
Hargis is taking no chances, how
ever, so is keeping him out of the
scrimmage.
* * *
Coach Gus Welch and IS huskies
from Pullman left for California to
day, where they will tangle with the
Berkleyites. No member of the team
was injured in the Multnomah game
last Saturday so the Staters went
south with their full strength.
If “dope" is to be considered
either California has a very strong
eleven or Stanford has not. The
“Golden Bear” eleven downed the
Olympic club a few days ago, while
the winged “O” team downed the
Cardinals last Saturday by the score
of 13-0. However, “dope” doesn’t
get very far when 22 men are fighting
against each other on the gridiron.
Several former Oregon players are
billed to join the Multnomah ranks
this week. Jake Risley, Sam Cook
and Wallace Cauiield have all sig
nified their intention of trying an
other whirl at the pastime and these
three men should bolster up the
club team a great deal.
In the east, Syracuse, Dartmouth
and Georgia Tech seem to be among
the leaders. Syracuse has defeated
Dobie’s Navy eleven and Pittsburg,
teams that were slated to be two of
the leaders in the northeast. Dart
mouth downed Bezdek's Penn Stat
ers. and Georgia Tech had little trou
ble in winning from Vanderbilt last
Saturday.
Basketball is beginning in Portland
at this early date. Multnomah club
lias formed its winter league and
games are scheduled for the coming
week-end. ‘Ned” Fowler, last year’s
Varsity forward, is turning out for
the club quintet.
