EDITORS OFFER AID
The students of the University ap
preciate fully the action taken last
week by the editors present at the
Oregon State Editorial Association
convention held on the campus when
the resolution was passed giving the
approval or the editors to the relief
bill. The editors were impressed with
the needs of the University and have!
in their hands the most effective me
dium for placing the facts before the
people pf the state in a way to gain
thuir support for the millage measure.
Letters from editors not present at
the convention have pledged support
for the hill and show the co-operation
of many publishers of the state.
The editors, who have a keen in
terest in all that affects the pro
gress of the state of Oregon, which
was first in all war movements, have
discerned that the educational insti
tutions of the state cannot function
for the development of the state un
less they have adequae support. Fu
ture leaders for the state of Oregon
cannot he developed unless the high
er educational institutions are able
to accommodate the young people
who Hock to them each year. The
point has been cited that those un
able to find admission in Oregon in
stitutions will go to those of some
other state, but Washington and Cal
ifornia are already overcrowded as
are the institutions of other states,
and state pride cannot permit our
passing the burden of the education
of our young men and women to other
states.
The editors who visited the campus
were aide to receive their impres
sions by first hand observation. The
crowded and inadequate facilities
were apparent to them because they
wore here to see thorn. They ex
pressed both h\ their resolution and
individual comment their approval of
the relief bill. They returned to their
papers convinced of University needs.
The rest can safely he left to their
patriotism and public spirit.
DON'T GET EXCITED
One of tli(> most baneful effects of
the Influenza epidemic both last year
and this is the superstitious fear it
creates among many classes of peo
ple. As University students we know
that it lias no mysterious origin. We
know, too, that the best preventive
is plenty of fresh air anil exercise,
fare should be observed, for the flu
is undoubtedly dangerous, but no
amount of fret or worry will ward
off an attack or resist one that has
set in.
While the situation at Eugene lias
called for drastic measures there is
no cause for alarm among the stu
dent-. The number of cases at the
University is not great and the ills
• •use is much les> virulent than last
year. The curtailment of activities
ltus inconvenienced i .ervoiie, l.iut it
should be looked upon as a preventive
measure, not one which has been
enforced by the actual spread of the
disease.
The best insurance against further
spread of influenza is for everyone
to go on with his work as before,
getting all the outdoor exercise pos
; sible and giving no thought to his
own chances of catching it.
ne of the sorority houses was loot
ed by burglars last week, which in
dicates that the crime epidemic must
be spreading from Portland. Here
is a chance for the Eugene police
to show that they are better “doc
tors” than the Portland police proved
to be.
O. A. C. has challenged the women
of the University to a swimming
match. The Aggie college has evid
ently despaired of winning anything
from the men. Here’s a chance for
the girls to “carry on” for Oregon.
The official “mouth and ears” of
the University, debate and the orches
tra, are two very neglected organs
in the college activities. Unless these
organs are revived we will soon rival
the state deaf and dumb school.

HEALTH ORDER CRITICIZED
Editor The Emerald:
The University authorities have dis
played a creditable willingness to co
operate with the local health author
ities in preventing the spread of the
influenza epidemic. There seems,
however, to be a slight inconsistency
in the regulations which are being
enforced.
The health orders > prohibit gather
ings of all kinds, even extending the
rule to informal affairs and churches.
No mention is made of regulating the
size of the classes in the various
University buildings. The University
library is crowded every night to a
point wnere liu germs wouia cer
tainly revel in the stuffy atmosphere.
Nearly a hundred pupils are crowded
into some of the poorly ventilated
class-rooms in Deady hall. A large
percentage of the classrooms give the
students less fresli air than is re
quired by even factory regulations.
If the theory that crowded con
ditions will spread the influenza is
true, a crowd will have the same ef
fect upon the students whether they
are gathered at a dance or in the
library or classroom. The effort to
prevent the spread of the epidemic
by taking alt possible precautionary
measures is laudable indeed, but the
desired effect will not be accomplish
ed unless the restrictions are con
sistent.

Y.W.C.A. SECRETARY HERE
MISS ALICE BROWN GUEST OF
LOCAL ASSOCIATION
Has Charge of Student Work in
Northwest States—To Meet
Girls in Bungalow
Miss Alice Brown, student secretary
of the Y. W. t\ A. for Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, arrived Tuesday
to be the guest of the local associa
tion until Saturday, Miss Brown is
on a tour among the colleges and
universities of the three states for
the purpose of discussing proposed
changes in the membership basis for
the student Y. W. O. A. This puest
tion will be brought up at the nation
al triennial convention held in Cleve
land, Ohio, April 31-21, and is one of
great importance, according to Miss
Brown,
In addition to dismissing this~ques

Thoughtless Frosh
Flirts With Opinion
Of Fellow Studes
Some people prefer to learn
everything by experience. This
is especially true of one knoght
of the freshman class. Being pos
sessed of a date on a Sunday
afternoon and unable to decide
what to do to while away the
time, he suggested to his choice
of the afternoon that they rest
themselves. Being near the city
courthouse the verdant knight led
his partner to the steps of the
courthouse, where they gave them
selves up to the interesting pas
time of watching citizens go by.
It was not very long before some
acquaintances of the couple, pass
ing near, sighted them and drew
their own conclusions, with the
result that the next day the bold
freshman found himself congra
tulated from all sides and wished
a happy and prosperous future by
his admiring friends. Also the
young lady in the case. Both
emphatically denied that they had
^decided in any way to bring to a
close their single existence.
It is true that some frosh make
the fatal mistake of sitting on
the senior bench, walk up Alder
street without intent, hut this is
the first time one o fthe newly ar
rived ever attempted to set a re
cord by calmly sitting on the
courthouse steps without cause.
As Aesop would say, “Freshmen
should look before they sit.”
ferences with girls interested in as
sociation work. It the influenza ban
permits, Miss Brown will hold dis
cussion groups concerning the World
InterchUrch movement, which is claim
ing the attention of the religious
world today.
The cabinets of the universities and
colleges in the state will hold a coun
cil at O. A. C. on April 3-6, accord
ing to Miss Brown. One of the in
teresting features of the program
will be the leaders who will interest
the girls in organizing county Y. W.
C. A’s in the communities in which
they live. Miss Janet Smith will be'
one of the leaders of this new move
ment, and she will explain the organ
ization of her work in Josephine
county with Medford as the center.
