Wo are all just begin ners.” No one need feel timid about joining because he is not fluent in French, he declared, as no one will not j be called upon to take part in the pro- j gram or help in any way unless he is quite willing. Students having had one | year of French will fintl they are able to understand most of what is said, he declared, and they \\jll find the club helpful.

Miss MeCollister was born in Illinois, but came to sunny California to get most of her education. She received her degree at the University of California in 10ir>, having taught for a time before that. She comes to us from the State Normal School at Lewiston.

Band For All Occasions. RESIGNATION OF HISTORIAN RECEIVED Report of Mary Ellen Bailey to Be Investigated by Committee. A proposal H>,v Major ■Raymond C Baird, of the University Military depart ment. to allow the student body the use of the R. O. T. 0. band for all occasions, such as yell practice, rallies and games was adopted by the student council at its regular meeting last night. The IR. O. T. 0. band, according to Carlton Savage,, who presented the pro posal of Major Baird, is composed of some forty members, mostly underclass men. The R. O. T. 0. furnishes the band with military uniforms and instruments. According to Ravage, Major Baird made the proposal, wishing to co-operate with the student body and at the same time afford the organization more time for practice. The student council voted to accept the proposal, agreeing to co operate with the military department and giving up pfans for a University students band, which would be a separate organization from the R. O. T. C. band. Herbert Hacker, a student, is employed by the military department as instructor for the R. O. T. C. band. The depart ment is equipped with several hundred dollars worth of instruments for the use of tile hand. , The band- last year consisted of more than forty pieces, rtnd was under Hack erhs, super vision during the last term. A large number of the men who played with the organization last year have re turned to the campus. The resignation of Mary Ullen Bailey, historian, was'presented and a committee anpointnd to investigate the condition of the records. According to the historian and Adelaide Take, who held the position last year, the records are in such con dition that it is impossible for a student to bring them up to date. The investi gating committee consists of Wayne Ak ers. Nell Wfcrwipk ;and Ruth Flegal. Thev will report at the next regular meeting of the student conucil. The his torian recommends that someone be hired to put the records in such condition that all future events can be recorded by a student historian. OREGON STUDENTS WORK ON NEWSPAPERS Oregonian, News, and Journal Call Five Trained by School of Journalism. City newspaper work is proving attrac tive to many former students of the University. Three of last year’s class are now connected with the Oregonian, while the News and Journal claim two others who were in school last year. Ilohert O. Case, Sigma Delta Chi. na tional journalism fraternity, Delta Tau pelta, and editor of the Demon Punch, has been promoted to the position ‘of railroad and financial editor on the Ore gonian. Mr. Case went directly to the Oregonian upon his graduation last spring. Two other members of the class of 1A20 who are on .the same paper are Earle Richardson and Dorothy Duniway. During his senior year Mr. Richardson was a member of Sigma Delta Chi. and Sigma Upsilon. and was on both the Oregana and Emerald staffs. During the summer he was connected with the Cottage Grove Sentinel. Miss Duniway also went directly to the city last spring.

CHAMBERLAIN MAY TALK TO DEMOCRATS Address to Preceed That to Be Given in Courthouse at Seven O’Clock. Although nothing has boon done so far to organize political clubs among the students, a committee of campus demo crats is trying to complete arrangements for Senator George E. Chamberlain to speak to those interested, tonight at sev en o’clock, just preceding his speech at the courthouse. If negotiations are car ried through, the announcement will be made at the assembly this morning. A meeting of students who favor the democratic ticket was announced for last night to organize a Oox-Roosevelt club. The committee decided to postpone the meeting until tonight and make an effort to have Senator Chamberlain here. The Eugene Republican club is very anxious that n Harding club be formed, and although no plans have been made as yet, something will be announced def initely within the next few days. .Those who were here in 1916 remem ber the abtive part which university stud ents tbok in that campaign. There were i students’ clubs for both of the big parties. | According to two of the professors the apathy this year is*noticeablo when they think of four years'ago. Both faculty and students lined up for one side or the other and a straw vote was taken, which gave 'Wilson a slight a.i^rity.,' The democratic club held a meeting in Villard hall, in which Wm. J. Hanley spoke. Several debates were held, and literature was profusely spread over the campus. ‘‘The Wilsonian” was the name of a paper which was published in the inter ests of the administration. It contained live arguments from the student stand point and was edited by Harry Crain. Stanley Eaton and Floyd Westerfield. However, thore-ds still nearly a month before election and it is expected that a greater interest will be developed. Al though some of those interested stated yesterday that students take very little interest in politics this year. They at tribute this to the aftermath of the war, and to the difference in the appeal of the issues of this campaign and the last. Both the University of California and the University of Washington have politi cal clubs which are actively engaged in the distribution of literature and the presentation of arguments. Clubs are in the process of formation at many other colleges in the country. HOEBER RE ELECTED WELL KNOWN AUTHOR John Anderson to Be Manager Again; Jazz Music to Be Played at Assent bi^.

OREGON TO BID FOB COAST CONFERENCE Laying- out of Track Around ' Hayward Field Begun. Oregon will make a bid to bring the Pacific Coast Conference track meet to Eugene as an attraction of Junior Week end next spring, according to Trainer “Bill" Hayward. A Pacific Coast Con ference meet has never been held here, and it is the opinion of Hayward that Oregon has a strong chance of getting the event staged in Eugene. One reason that Oregon has not bid for the meet heretofore is on account of the poor track facilities here for handling such a meet. Work will be commenced soon on the new track which will be laid but according to track regulations and will encircle Hayward field. The track will be a quarter-mile oval with a 220 yard straightaway, and will hr strictly modern in every sense. Although the conference officials do not meet until December, the movement to have the meet at Eugene is already getting under way and it is planned to have a first class proposition to offer to the officials at th^r next gathering which is slated' to be held in San Fran cisco._ GRADUATE OF OREGON ON CATHOLIC SENTINEL Lawrence Dinneen, ’15, Takes Position as Nows Editor on Port land Paper.

The University infirmary is treating, on the average .‘>5 clinic cases a day this year, which is slightly above that of last year, according to a statement given out yesterday by Dr. Sawyer, the college physician. So far no contagious cases have been received, said thet doctor Colds and sore throats comprise most of the cases, although there have been a few patients with a fever, but they are not serious, he said. From time to time students come with minor injuries to be dressed. Nurses quarters are being fitted up in and adjacent building which will lpavt I more room in the infirmary. Miss Grace Robertson Will Have Supervision of ‘ * Follow-Up ’ ’ Cases. OREGON AMONG FIRST TO EMPLOY EXPERTS Dietetic Advice and Outside Aid Incorporated in the Present Activities. More pioneering has been done by the Health Service Department in the ob taining of the services of 'Miss Grace K. Roberston who, according to Dean Bovard, has training and experience much beyond the ordinary. She will have charge of some classes under the Home Economics Department and besides that will do follow up work in conjunction with the infirmary. “We were fortuhate indeed in getting her,” said Dr. Bovarc^in telling of Miss Robertson’s experience. She is a gradu ate of the Great Ormond Street Hos pital in London, the largest children’s hospital in the world. After eompletig her work there Miss Robertson entered the Post Graduate Hospital ^ot North western University, Chicago. Training equivalent to that of a doctor is required to gain entrance there. She graduated from that hospital also. Served in Siberia. During the war Miss (Robertson served one year as a nurse in connection with the Aviation and Marine Corps and a year with the Red Cross in Siberia, where she was attached to the General headquarters staff in Vladivostok. While there she was in charge of a children’s hospital on the Russian Islands. The refugee children from Petrograd were sent to these islands and it was for the treating of these children that the hos pital work was carried on. She returned from Vladivostok only a short time ago. New Courses Open. Two courses will be offered by Miss Robertson under the Home Economics Department. One of these will be a course in home nursing and jthe other on the care of children in the home. The remainder of her time will be taken up with what Dean Bovard calls “follow-up” work in conjunction with the Infirmary. This work will include a wide variety of activities and will be carried on under the Health Service De partment. She will work entirely out side the Intiiu<ary. One of the things in which Miss Rob ertson will asist is the making of a sur vey of the sanitary conditions of the school In general. Sick to Be Visited. A large part of her work will be in kpeping in touch with cases of sickness outside the Infirmary which do not need a doctor’s care. She will visit students who arc sick at home—those who have been sent home from the Infirmary and any others who need her help. She will determine whether they should be taken to the Infirmary and if that is not neces sary will treat them in theij’ homes. This will enable the Health Department to broaden its scope a great deal. Miss Robertson is an expert dietitician and will gfive advice to students doing their own cooking. She will suggest menus and in general help them to keep their appetites in good working order. The women of the University will be advised in regard to home remedies and other problems of the home. This work. Dean Bovard said em phatically. is not to he of a prying nature. Miss Robertson is here to h»dp and will soon be a friend to everybody, he continued. Only the most progressive universities in the country have made a start in this work. The University of Washington is the only other one on the coast which has so far instituted such a department. ********** * .
