MANY STUDENTS TREATED
Health Service Office Makes Tests
For Defective Vision
Forty-five students a day, an increase
of 24 over last year are being treated
bv the University health service in the
physical education building. Since the
first of October, 86 have received
treatment for colds and 77 for sore
throats. These minor ailments seem
to be most prevalent among the stu
dents on the campus.
Tests for defective vision are being
given at the health service offices and
a number of students have had their
eyes examined. There are but six pa
tients in the infirmary a£ the present
time, all of whom are grippe and cold
cases.
With it’s present plan, the health
service has been able to handle twice
as many students at the office alone, j
as were treated at the dispensory and
infirmary, last year.

orders in erecting the freshman bonfire j

on athletic fields.
Society to Continue
Under the new arrangement Fro-tra
co will continue, as was the intention
of upperclassmen organizers of the body :
last year. This year, however, it will j
probably be an official student body j
organization and its duties will be en- i
larged. The outgoing freshman mem- :
bers will elect their successors to the
exact number and from the same or
ganizations as was the case last year.
The- older men will sit with the new
group for several meetings outlining
their duties and aiding in the reorgani
zation of the society.
The freshman president will. be an
ex-officio member of the organization
with the power of deciding a tie vote
and a veto power. Fro-tra-co, however, j
will have the power of killing the
president’s veto by a two-thirds vote.
The Order of the O will serve as a
godfather to the freshman society with
lettermen attending each meeting in;
the role of advisors and will be the ;
only punitive body to take freshman
tradition violators to task.
To Nominate Candidates
In order that strong candidates for
the freshman presidency may be nom
inated Fro-tra-co, which will be reor
ganized during the first few days of
the fall term of each year, will select
three men from the freshman class to
be nominated at the first regular meet
ing of the class. At this meeting, of
course, any freshman has the power to
nominate a candidate from the floor.
The reason for Fro-tra-co’s action in
this regard is that they as leaders from
the freshman class hailing from every

campus organization will be in a po
sition to pick the strongest men. At
this same meeting the class will elect
three members at large to Fro-tra-co.
This in the main is the present plan
for freshman government. That there
must be a freshman “vigilance” com
mittee i«i some form or other is an
undisputed fact. Unless there is sbme
official body to serve in this capacity
outlaw organizations will Spring up as
a constant source of disruption0 in
underclass affairs. University officials
feel that Fro-tra-co was a success last
year and that it, as an official and
honorary body, ^jll work for the good
of the freshman class and university,
especially as it is under the supervision
of the Order of the O, largely an upper
class organization.
To Announce List Tomorrow
Fro-tra-co met last night for the
election of new members, a list of whom
will be announced tomorrow,
fialph Bailey, elected president of the
class of 1925 at its first meeting, re
signed, Wednesday. He felt physically
unable to accept the position due to a
recent operation and desired to spend
all his spare time as a candidate for
honors in debating, in which activity
he is an intercholastic champion. The
class will meet tonight for the purpose
of electing a new man under the new
plan.
Need For Change Great
Inauguration of the new system comes
as an upshot to the usual turmoil, dis
sention and trouble occassioned by the
annual election of freshman president
under the custom of the past several
years when organizations have forbid
den their new men to become a candi
date for the position. As a result the
presidency has been thrust upon some
luckless individual in the “any one will
do attitude.”
There is no gainsaying the fact that
: the post of freshman president is as
important a position as is that of any
other class president and this regard
ing of the office as a “goal’s” job
has worked against r the University in
more wayh than one. Oregon holds a
singular role in this respect as prestige
is attached to the office at all other
institutions.
This view is not a tradition at Ore
gon but a custom which sprang up
several years ago. University history
tells of many political battles waged in
past days between Eugene and Port
land students to elect a man to the
position.
