' -CAMPUS HAS NO FLU,
SAYS PHYSICIAN, HUT
COLDS ARE NUMEROUS
Vaccination for Smallpox Is
Urged by Dr. Sawyer;
Treatment Free
Influenza has not yet made its ap
pearance on the campus, according
to Dr. E. H. Sawyer, University
physician. There is, however, a
slight epidemic of colds, which Dr.
Sawyer classes as mild bronchitis
and head colds. Two cases of small
pox, one 'being treated now in the
infirmary annex.
Dr. Sawyer lays stress on the
subject of vaccination. “Every stu
dent in college, he asserts, “should
be vaccinated. Although there is no
increase in the number of cases of
small pox, all precautions should be
taken. The two cases we now are
treating are persons who were not
vaccinated. Vaccination "should be
come a matter of routine with every
college student. The women, espec
ially should avail themselves of the
opportunity as they did not have the
advantage of receiving treatment in
the army or navy. We are still anx
ious to vaccinate anyone who desires
it.”
Dr. Sawyer issued a warning
against poison oak, which he says
is prevalent at this season of the
year, which happens to be the time
when hikes in the woods are num
erous. “Anyone wTho is at all sus
ceptible to this trouble,” he said,
“should care especially for the ex
posed skin surfaces. Before and af
ter exposure to poison oak the hands
and face should be washed frequent
ly in a thick hot soap solution. Fol
lowing this, a number of preventa
tives can be used on the dried sur
face to ward off attacks. Various
alkaline solutions as epsom salts or
soda in saturated solution are valu
able. As the poison is an oil, any
remedy which dissolves oil will be
effective, such as alcohol or gasoline.
In case of . a beginning eruption,
these solvents should be applied to
the area affected and immediately
dried as the solvent can carry the
oil over a larger surface, if not
wiped off with a dry cotton pledget.
A small bottle of gasoline and a
little cotton carried in the pocket
and used several time during the
heat of the day is a good precau
tion against poison oak. Always re
member, of course, to keep the bot
tle away from the" fire.”
During January, 32 patients were
cared for at the infirmary, and 670
received treatment. Tonsilitis claim
e dthe largest number of patients
at the infirmary, 10 being cared for.
Nervousness and grippe accounted
for three each. Mumps, smallpox,
indigestion and absesses in the ton
sils each brought two.
OREGANA LAUNCHES BIG
SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN
(Continued from page It
the medical school in Portland has
signified its intention to have a
place in the Oregana pages and to
help it by subscription. It is then
up to the Oregon students, accord
ing to the opinion of student coun
cil and the Oregana business staff,
whether or not they want the book
this year.
As an added incentive for fhe se
curing of subscriptions several priz
es will be offered. To the individ
ual who turns in the first 50 sub
scriptions there will be given $5
and an Oregana free. To the sec
ond student in the race will be giv
en an Oregana, and to the house go
ing over the top first an' Oregana
will also be given.
Class Day Revived
In an effort to form some plan in
which an increased attendance at
assemblies can be obtained the stu
dent council decided to revive the
old custom of class day as well as
to pep up the general assemblies.
Ella Rawlings, Adalaide Lake and
Curtiss Peterson were appointed to
arrange for this assembly and to
plan some form of entertainment for
other assemblies.
The general cause for decreased
attendance at assemblies seemed to
be the fact that the assemblies run
over into the noon hour, consequent
ly students not living near the cam
pue have difficulty in getting back
to their one o’clock classes. An ef
fort will be made to see that the
time does not run over into the
noon hour in the future- To help
this matter it was also suggested
in the council that promptness in
going to assembly would help mat
i ters.
To Stage Leap Year Dance
Permission was given the Women's
League of the University by the
I council to stage a leap year dance
| sometime in the near future. This
dance will be given by the women
of Oregon to raise funds with which
to purchase gold footballs for the
Varsity players.
Don Newbury was appointed by
Stanford Anderson, student body
president, to act as senior man on
the council in place of Elmo Mad
; den, whose resignation was accepted
by the council at this meeting. New
bury’s appointment was approved by
the council.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR FAST FRESHMAN
BASKETBALL TEAM
Thirty Out for Practice Every
Night; Game With O. A. C.
Rooks Feb.13-14
With a turnout of about thirty as
pirants every night, frosh basketball
is progressing nicely and by the mid
dle of next week it is expected that a
pretty good line on the team for this
season will be had. Competition is
pretty good for a place on the team
and no definite selection of the quin
tet to represent the frosh has been
made yet.
“Bill” Reinhart, who is coaching
the team, says that it is going to be
pretty fast this season and he is well
pleased with the material that is out.
Reinhart played on the frosh team
here in 1916 and is a former Salem
high school star. He also played one
year with the Missouri Wesleyan
quintet.
Attempts' are being made to sched
ule games with Chemawa and Mount
Angel college and if possible with
Salem high for a trip next week, but
nothing definite has yet been settled.
The first big game for the frosh on
their own floor will be played here
on February 13 and 14, when they
will tangle with the O- A. C. rooks.
The rooks are going good this year
and have been playing a number of
games and it is expected that the
game with them will be a hard-fought
contest.
