THE OREGANA
EVER in the history of
the University of Ore
gon has there been a
greater need for en
larged, bigger and bet
ter publications and on
the other hand never be
fore have these publica-.
tions cost as much as they do this
year.
The increased cost of paper, labor
and in fact everything connected
with the printing of our campus
publications have increased almost
25 per cent over that of last year.
As a result they must receive unlim
ited support from the student body,
if they are to continue.
Wednesday a campaign for 1200
subscriptions to the Oregana will
start. This campaign cannot fail.
There must be at least 1200 sub
scriptions to the year book or its
publication in present form will be
jeopardized. „ ,
The Oregana, as the official year
book of the University, is one of the
most prized publications of the cam
pus. Every student should want a
copy of the book to keep as one of
the treasures of college days. The
stuff this year is working steadily on
it and present plans show that the
publication will be the best ever
presented. We must make its pub
lication possible on an enlarged and
better basis by unswerrng the call
for support and subscribing for a
copy of the book.
SIX STUDENT LOANS COME
Checks Arrive From Soldiers and \
Sailors Commission
The checks for the first six men
who applied for loans from the
Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Commission of
Oregon have been received here, to
gether with a note for each man to
sign, according to a report given out
by the registrar's office this morn
ing. STbdents desiring loans are re
quired to make out applications on!
blanks given out by the registrar.
These are sent to Portland, passed’
upon by the commission, and return
ed to the University with the desir
ed check. No security is asked by
the commission and no interest is
charged, Carlton Spencer, explained-,
TWO MOOT COURTS NOW
Enlarged Number of Lnw Students
Makes Change Necessary
A small leaflet has just been is
sued by the law school giving the
new rules of the Moot Court. The
leaflet was printed by Dean E. \V.
Allen's class in publishing. It has
been necessary to divide the Moot
Court, which meets every Thursday
evening at 7 o’clock, into two sec
tions because of the increased num
ber of students. There are 151 ma
jors in law this year compared to
about ten last year.

Some Advantages of
Railroad Electrification
Saving the Nation's coal
Lower maintenance costs.
Greater reliability and fewer
delays.
Ability to haul smoothly
heavier trains at higher
speed.
Operation of electric locomo
tives unaffected by extreme
cold.
Ability to brake trains on
descending grades by re
turning power to tho trolley.
o
The Power of Electricity
in Transportation
’C'LECTRICITY has leveled out
the Continental Divide. The
steam locomotive, marvelous as it is
after a century of development, can
not meet all of the present demandsfor
transportation facilities. Its electric
rival has proved to be far superior.
On the mountain divisions of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway—the world’s greatest elec
trification-giant electric locomotives
today lift an ever increasing freight
tonnage over the mile-high Rockies
and also make traveling clean and
comfortable. They utilize the abun
dant energy of distant waterfalls and
then, by returning some of this
power to the trolley, safely brake the
trains on descending grades. And
their capabilities are not impaired
by excessively cold weather when the
•team engine is frozen and helpless.
Electricity is the power which
drives the trains of New York City’s
subway and elevated' systems. It
operates the locks and tows the ships
through the Panama Canal. It pro
pels the Navy’s latest super-dread
naught, the New Mexico. Electric
mine locomotives have replaced the
slow-moving mule and the electric
automobile has also come todoan im
portant service. Such achievements
were made possible t>y the extensive
research and manufacturingactivities
of the General Electric. Company.
Electricity has become the universal
motive power. It has contributed
efficiency and comfort to every form
of transportation service and in this
evolution General Electric apparatus
has played a large part — from
mighty electric locomotives to
the tiny lamp for the automobile.
