The article contains a general plea for better buildings and equipment for the school which is to house young people at that critical stage of their development when so many children drop out of (iCUOOl.

The new building for the University high school will be ready for ceoupaney after tlie Kaster holidays, Mr. Douglas Says. “This building will be a model on 0 smaller scale for the building of the junior high school in the smaller towns of the state al large.” said Mr. Douglas. In addition to this, lie says, the depart ment of education will be better aide 1o turn out. teachers for these high schools *aftor having trained them in the model school. “This building” said Mr. Douglas, "will now be the most complete and best c<|tiip ped University high school west of the Ttoekies. You would have to go back to the University 'of Colorado to find one As good.” DENFELD TO GIVE TALK Commercial Professor to Speak Before Portland Chamber of Commerce. Professor (», A.

MEETING Condition of Central Europe and China Shows That Critical Social Period Is Herp. “Everybody for the Inst .TO veers lias been saying ‘this is a critical period.’ but there has never been such a cri-is as the one that we are facing today ” lec’ared Bishop AV. O. Shepard in a talk al the • regular Y. AI. C. A. meeting Thursday From forty to fifty thousand people are starving in China. India is in revolt. Central Europe is starving and otlie- dis tressing news is coining from every part of the world.. Since the great world war there have i been reactions everywlmr « among the j people, even here in our own glorious America, continued Bishop Shepard, American people who see and feel the problems and are anxious to help are asking liow they can be of aid. At one time there were more men en tering the minister}' than there were go ing into the medical profession or the legal profession, now there are three times as many taking medicine and eight times as many men entering the legal profession. Church officials have been , very concerned about this apathv. said the speaker. II is not: all discouraging however, con tinued Bishop Shepard. Since the war 2,000 young men. and worfien have been ysent to the foreign field, and at home many new philanthropic institutions have bee norganizod thus opening up many new fields for service. At one time there was only one way to serve the cause, through tin- ministry,'and now numerous avenues are open. So after all. it is merely a matter of ! adjustment and we should not despair in the face of it. said Uisliop Shepard. The church, however, is the route of which every other philanthropic thing is a branch. The church is not the effect but the cause. It is therefore important that , we keep the church. I)r. D. II.

FACULTY MEN ENJOY ATHLETICS OFFERED Instructors Active in Many Sports; Teams to Challenge Business Men of Portland. ('treat enthusiasm is being exhibited by the faculty men toward all branches of athletics offered at the University during the winter term. And there are five rather distinct groups, according to Dr. DeCou. chairman of the Faculty Athletic association, who turn out for practice two and three times a week. They are tlie general group, consisting of men who are not experts at any one tiling lmt with ambitions; tennis headed liy Sam Bass Warner; basketball, swimming and handball make up the five groups. When surprise was expressed at the faculty turn out. I)r. DeCou smiled a knowing smile and answered. "We have been stringing them up.” He also said that after a little time the association hoped to have teams in volleyball, bas ketball and tennis so well organized that it would be advisable to challenge the business mens’ tennis. Dr. DeCou is himself an ardent exponent of volleybal1 and a still more interested golfer, and has dreams of a faculty team in that sport in the spring. The golfers may number President Campbell among theii ranks when the time conn's. W. C. HOPPES IN SALEM POSITION William C.

Great Opportunity Afforded, Says Mr. Fairbanks, The classes in sculpturing under Avard Fairbanks arc working on the design for the decoration over the doorway of the new art building. The subject for the design is Sculpture in Relation to Architecture, and Dean Lawijenee has offered the person who has the best de s’gn ; prize of $16. Mr. Fairbanks said: “I (Consider this a great opportunity for the students to be able to do practical work on a build ing while they arc still in college. Very, few students have the chance to do any thing so worth while in. this line of work.” If the students are successful in this undertaking it will put the department of sculpturing and modeling in the Uni versity of Oregon on a' very high plane. CALIFORNIA RAISES FEE Non-resident Students Must Pay $150 Tuition in Future. University of California, Berkeley, .Inn. 18. — The present tuition fee of $20 a year for non-resident students will be increased to $150, the increase taking effect next August. The action of the regents was largely in response to the opinions expressed by financial officers, of the state that the state could no longer afford to extend free education to non-residents. Enrollment figures presented by Pres ident David P. Barrows at the meeting showed that there were 1151 non-resi dent students registered at. the Univer sity last semester. It is expected that the increased fee will yield a revenue of about $100,000 a year to the Univer sity. O. A. C. HAS UNIQUE CLUB Electrical Engineering Organization Formed; Is Only One In West. Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis 1 Jan. 17. — O. A. O. now has what is said to be the only electrical engineer ing house club in the west. As far as can be ascertained it is the only club, of its kind in the country. The Electron club, organized this fall, secured recog nition from the student affairs commit tee. and soon moved info a house. The electrical engineering faculty is well represented in the club as Professor R. H. Dearborn, head of the department., is faculty advisor, and J. II. Belknap, as sistant professor of electrical engineer ing is a faculty member. Many express the hope that it will be a forerunner of similar organizations in the country. $210 POSITION IS OPEN ^Candidates for Teaching Post Asked to Sec Dean Sheldon.

STUDENTS KEPT FIT BY HEALTH SERVICE (Continued from Page 1). red ion of Dr. Bertha Stunrt Dj'nicnt. Dr. Stuart at present has approximate ly 200 girls under her advisory direc tion. and is supervising their exercise and diet. ‘Tt has been actually proved,” said Dr. Bovard. “that this work is of intense benefit to the students. Where men and women have conscientiously carried out the programs outlined for them their grades, as well as their liealtlr, show improvement.” Eastern Colleges Lag. The eastern colleges, according to Dr Bovat-d. are slower to undertake this new line of health work. “Why should wo bother with the student before he becomes actually sick?" seems to char acterize a good deal of their attitude, ac cording to the dean. The Universities of Minnesota and Wisconsin, are among the | mose progressive Dr. Bovard found in ■ibis line. The new system of caring for health, while it does not neglect the attention given the sick, is stressing the preven tative measures. It was compared by Dean Bovard to the ancient Chinese sys tem. where th* family physician was paid a fee as long as his patient remained healthy, but when the patient was sick fhe fee was discontinued. This, although probably an extreme type, characterizes the trend in modern medicine, to pre vent illness by making the people really healthy. West More Progressive. ' During the last, six months Dr. Bovard lias visited universities over the entire country, including those in New York state. “I venture to say that, there is none where they are doing more for the student health than Orogeu,” he said “Characteristically, the farther west one comes, the more modern progress is noted, and it. is in the idea of sensible prevention and better physical efficiency DAINTY APPETIZING LUNCHS LUNCHES.
