Oregon Emerald VOLUME 21 EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1920 NUMBER 44 WITH Bit ENTHUSIASM BT MANAGING STAFF Campaign to Last Two Days, 1200 Subscribers Needed Among Students COMMITTEES ARE FORMED Prizes Will Be Given to Canvassers and Organizations as Incentive to Boost Annual “The Oregana drive over in two •flays”, is the slogan of George Beggs, business manager, and Elston Ire land, circulation manager of the Uni versity year book, in the campaign for 1200 subscriptions from the stu dent body which they are launching tomorrow morning. Every effort will be made to collect the full quota of subscriptions be fore Thursday night, and with that end in view' members of committees to carry on the canvass have been chosen who httve proven their ability i in former drives. Plans have been laid to reach as many individuals as possible through their organiza tions but the hardy “hooverizer” who ventures out upon the campus with out an Oregana tag will find plenty of workers waiting for him and ready to take care of his money- As an incentive toward fast work on the part of the committee members, prizes have been offered for the first two who turn in 50 subscriptions. Five dollars and an Oregana go to the one reaching the goal first, and an Oregana to the second person to turn in that number. The organiza tion which first reports its members to be 100% Oregana subscribers will get a free copy of the book. Not to Juniors Alone George Beggs emphasized the fact that the Oregana is strictly a Uni versity proposition, not that of the junior class. As such he feels that it deserves, and must have, the sup port of each individual in the Uni versity if it is to be an unqualified success. Reports from members chosen to serve on the committee, according to Ireland, indicate that .they are enthu siastic over prospects of success. They feel in this case that they are asking each student to buy some thing which he really needs and de sires, and that the price is some thing which every one can meet. From the committee’s point of view their task is only to get the student to be fair with himself, and all argument on their part is only in his behalf. Tag for Each Subscriber Ireland announces that students who wish to save the time and in convenience may have their checks made out Wednesday morning pay able to George Beggs, business man ager. Only $1.50 is being collected now as a guarantee on the book. The remaining $3 is not due until delivery of the book later in teh spring. Each subscriber will be giv en a receipt and an Oregana tag at the time his subscription is taken.

Dorothy Duniway Students of the University will ac tively participate in campaigning for the millage tax appropriation soon to be voted upon in Oregon. Stan ford Anderson, president of the stu dent body and Miss Charlie Fenton, alumni secretary, have already chos en the above persons to represent ev ery house and organization on the campus to work with the campaign committe in Portland to bring to the fore and advertise the millage tax which is of so much importance to the University. Don Newbury, chair man of this committee has called a meeting for 7:15 Wednesday even ing in Dean Straub’s room, at which President Campbell and Karl On thank will explain to the students of the committee exactly what this bill is about so that each representa tive will be able to go back to his organization and explain to each member the importance of this bill. Each committee member will act as campaign member in his house. Miss Fenton places campaign lit erature regularly in the pigeon holes for each house in the entrance to the Administration building, and each representative is to either see to getting this literature himself or ap point a member of his group to get its daily.

SAWVER FEW STUDENTS VACCINATED FOR SMALLPOX—PERIL EMPHASIZED The students of the University are not responding to the opportunity for vaccination open to them, accord ing to Dr. E. H. Sawyer of the Uni versity infirmary. Forty of the freshmen men have not Been vac-* cinated, either here or in the army, and this is a high average, he said. No data concerning the freshmen girls is available because they do not indicate this on the registration card, but the percentage of unvac cinated is probably much larger than for the boys. “There will be cases of smallpox in Oregon as long as the people re fuse to be vaccinated,” said Dr. Sawyer, “and the sooner they realize this the better it will be for them.” “There have been a few cases of mild grippe on the campus,” said the doctor, “-but these could- not be called flu. It is the general opinion among physicians that-there will be no flu epidemic this year,” he con tinued}* “and that when the records are compiled for this year it will be found that there have been no more I deaths from grippe and so-called flu than in any year previous to last.” “I can see no reason why there should be a ban placed on University activities as there was last year, because the disease which is appear ing here is too mild to necessitate any such action.” LIBRARY MAKES NEW RULE Due to Shortage of Fundi, Order of Books is to be Limited Because of the shortage of fugds in the University, it is announced at ! the University library that only books very urgently needed in con ! nection with class work can be ord ered for the students. This ruling jhad to be made, according to M. H. i Douglass, librarian, because of the j inci%asing cost of boofce, togethei with the inability of the University | to increase the funds allowed foi 1 purchases.

The Tabard Inn Takes Bertram In (Not by R. B.) This is the way young Bertram rants, so now I think I’ll take a chance; for this young Bert ram chap, you know, is a neo phyte, and I can crow. He’s a Sigma Upsilon elected “bee”, and just between young Bert ram and me, he’s got a stunt he has to pull, until the old boys get their full. On Wed nesday morning young Bert will wear, a smock that will make girls tear their hair. It’s called in Greek, or Siamese, a “Tab ard” just pronounce it please. Besides adorning the campus with this, there’s something else you must not miss. He’s going to pack a Royal around, and look around until he’s found a vacant inch on the Library steps, where he’ll pound out some jingling “peps.” This bashful lad must then declaim the things he’s written and remain, till something from on high, you see, splashes down on you and me. Oh, Bashful Bertram, I envy you! I kinda wish I were there too. At ten a. m. I’ll stand and grin, while you perform for Ye Tabard Inn But now I guess I gotta quit, or envy'll make Bert have a fit.

CHILDREN LIKE HISTORY Almack Writes on Reading Interests of Junior High School Pupils “The Reading Interests of Junior High School Students” is the title of an article by J. C. Almack, act ing director of the extension division, which appears in the last issue of “The American Schoolmaster.” The article gives special emphasis to his tory, and relates a test given to dis cover what influences children most in choosing books, what^ kind of books “appeal most -to" them, and whether there is a difference be tween the interests of boys and girls. The replies to the question “What historical character do you like most?” varied from George Wash ington to Charlie Chaplin. The general conclusions which are reached, state that “There is a de mand for actuality in the reading material, for truth, for ‘real life. | The fairy tale period is past.” Also “Text books do not satisfy the read ling interests of junior high schoo pupils. History, however, has al i the elements that these pupils lik< in their reading.” VARSITY FIVE WINS OVERTIME CONTEST FROM WASHINGTON Oregon fight causes visitors to take 23 to 20 count in fast tilt LOSS OF STABS NOTICED Team Disorganized by Loss of Durno and Chapman, Who Are Now on Sick List Pacific Coast Conference Team California O.

This victory gives Oregon one win out of the three games played the last week end and leaves the lemon yellow with a conference standing of .400. Coach “Shy” Huntington used a different lineup than he used earlier in the season, as both Eddie Durno and Nish Chapman were kept on the bench until the last part of the game. "Skeet” Manerud started the game at the forward position, and Francis Bellar took Chapman’s place at guard. First Half Ends in He The first half was slow, neither team seeming to have much of an advantage, the period ending in a 10 to 10' tie. Oregon jumped in the lead early in the second half, but towards the last few minutes of the game, the Sundodgers crawled up on the varsity, when with the score standing at a 18 to 18 tie, Coach* Huntington sent in Durno and Chap man. These two men held the Wash ington tossers to no baskets but failed to annex any points for the varsity. The first five minutes also ended in a tie, 29 to 20.

A. C ’s 31 to 10 victory over University of Wash ington last night, served to dim the lemon-yellow’s prospects. Next Fri day and Saturday Uie Oregon baske teers go to Corvallis for a two game series with the agriculturists. The chances for a victory do not look very bright but never in the history of the University have the sport fol lowers given up hope, or quite fight ing, until the cause is lost. The Oregon team is at present badly crippled, and will probably not be in good shape by Friday night. Eddie Durno is ill, and in poor con »)
