It is the favorite topic of “older heads” to hark back to the “good old days’,’ when Oregon Spirit was so deeply im bedded in the minds of every student that Oregon was, enabled to accomplish anything by reason of its presence. As a mat ter of fact, the good old Spirit was no better then than it is now, nor was it able to accomplish more. It was simply that the school was smaller and the spirit more unified. In those days a small body of rooters lended themselves more to organized rooting than they do now. The yell-leader was the king-pin. He was the care-taker of Oregon Spirit, and' every student became his active assistant. This year, partly because of the growth of the student body, and partly because* of other things, the yell-leader is not the real leader of Oregon Spirit. There are too many assist ants, too many divergent opinions, and too many rooters for any one man to handle. The yell-leader needs able lieuten ants. At Washington there is an organization called the Knights of the Hook. They are the lieutenants of the guardian of the spirit of that institution. And at other insti tutions are similar organizations whose motto is “serVice,” with the upholding of campus traditions and! spirit as their work. Here, the “Order of the ‘O’ ” and “Fro-tra-co” have combined to enforce the observance of Oregon traditions and the proper Oregon Spirit among the freshmen. Very com mendable. But why not go further and act as lieutenants to the varsity yell-leader in the maintenance of the proper Ore gon Spirit among all the members of the student body. Either or both organizations could do this. A correspondent suggests the wearing of rooters caps at times in a letter. Various pleas have been made for good sportsmanship at athletic contests. Enforcement of the “non pigging” tradition at athletic* contests has been asked. Who could better lay down the law on such matters than such or ganizntions as the “Order of the ‘O’ ’’ or “Fro-tra-co?” Any yell-loader needs such lieutenants. The members of the organization of varsity letter-men are the logical lieuten ants of the letter-men. They could make themselves a real force on the campus by such an activity. “Fro-trft-co” is yet young, and if it is tine intention of this organization to take over such a responsibility they need the support of such au< organization as the “Order of the ‘O’ ” lo help them now. Wliat do you think? The big question is: “Can we heat California,?” Win or lose, “you can’t beat Oregon fight.” And if anything Avillj beat the Bears, Oregon fight will. I HEALTH BULLETINS LIST SPRING DIETS Use of Vegetables Eliminates Need of Pills and Tonics. “Have you oaten any green vegetables today?” 'lliis query heads the Univer sity Healtli Bulletin of February 10, which goes on to tell why garden greens should he eaten in abundance at this time of year. The bulletin states that those who eat plenty of mustard, spin ach, turnips, carrots, and cabbages as a part of their daily diet will not need spring tonics, rest cures and pills. "Onions,” says the bulletin, “are always in season, and when properly prepared give no after effects, except that they are especially efficient as health and beauty doctors.” The University Infirmary reports 1t?l cases of sickness or medical aid for women and 213 for men during the mouth of January, eases of colds and soure throats, injuries, and abscesses, Imils a ndwarts are listed iu the order given, ns the most numerous. There were only three eases of infectious dis eases. Bed patients for the mouth totaled 40; days spent at the infirmary totaled 323; and calls at the dispensary and infirmary totaled 1151. A special bulletin was issued dealing with the “Itch." According to this bul letin there are a number of cases of this infection and they are not de creasing because treatment prescribed for it by the doctors is not being fol lowed. The bulletin emphasizes the fact that “Cleanliness is a sure cure for itch,” and. speanking of the itch, it con tinues. “It is not a disgrace to get it, but—it is a disgrace to keep it.” ; " ■.

Avard Fairbanks’ new piece of sculp ture which represents the spirit of the Oregon mother, protecting, guiding, and1 inspiring the young girls of today, will be placed in the plot of ground between the women’s gymnasium and the new unit of Hendricks hall. The figure of a girl, clinging with one hand to the statue representing home life and Oregon home spirit, extends her other hand symbolizing a person reaching for knowledge and higher education. This hand will point toward the University. The discovery of Grand Canyon of Colorado is also being worked out in clay by Mr. Fairbanks. It is the statue of Escalante, a Franciscan monk who went from Mexico in the early seventeen th century, in search of the mythical seven cities, which the Indians told of. Not finding them, he returned to Mexico. The piece of sculpture represents a monk with his left arm raised hiding a cross. On his right side is an animal. Mr. Fanrbanks’ work was commended highly by the party of architects who were on the campus Monday. LIBRARY GETS BOOKS "History of the A. E. F.” and "Soldiers All,” of Interest to Men.

That the results of the health eam paigiioon the campus are beginning to be noticed, is the opinion of Miss Grace Robertson. University health nurse. The majority of the underweight girls are gaining, the greater percent of the ' students who have never eaten breakfast now enjoy that meal with all the “trim ming's,” and the gi.rls are waking up to the situation, are taking an interest in it and co-operating with the health de partment. Miss Robertson is enthusiastic about her work, and her enthusiasm is con tagious. The home nursing course which she taught last fall was so popular that two section had to be organized this | term, in addition to the first aid and Child Welfare course. She looks upon the girls in her classes as disciples who will spread the doctrine of good health and prevention, and said, “It is \most gratifying to see how well the girls who have taken the course care for the girls in the houses who are ill.” While Miss Robertson loves teaching, | she feels that her greatest opportunity for service lies in the public health work. She is ready to go to any of the students who need her at any time. “Tell the girls how 'much I appreciate the spirit of co-operation that exists whenever I make a call,” she said. “They are always so lovely about doing what is best.” It was while in Siberia and Russia, where she cared for the undernourished and tubercular children of those coun tries, that Miss Robertson became in terested in the work of prevention and realized the necessity of building up re serve strength. Miss Robertson said that although she had never had any calls from the men’s houses on the campus she would gladly go when the boys need her if they would call her. i ' “ ' Patronize Emerald Advertisers.
