INFIRMARY HAS
WAR ON GERMS
E. J. H. Gives Chant of Health Ser
vice; Odors Proclaim it of High
Rank as Hospital; Sweet Essence
Lingers.
SOUNDS VARIED
Grinding, Shrieks, Clatters and Tin
gles Remindful of Inquisition;
Stories of Snappy Operations are
Vividly Read.
By E. J. H.
Rise, brethren, and let us chant the
Song of the Infirmary:
Asafoetida, asafoetida, sizz boom
boom!
Enter little germ, into our cotv room;
Let us bathe you, feed you, wash
your sins away,
Lean back, breath deeply, ah! You've
had your day
Since all good hospitals are measured
in direct ratio to their odors, one has
but to go along the corridors of the
health service offices to realize its
efficiency. The first thing that strikes
you is a smell—than which there is
none more horrible. It is the com
pounded essence of all the liquids and
gases that go toward making a doctor
bill expensive. I never smell that par
ticular smell without thinking of the
end of all earthly things, and somehow
I begin to twitch my shoulder blades
—whereon all normal wings do grow—•
and somehow I feel the palms of my
hands grow thick with the callouses of
the shovel brigade. I have a hard time
getting that sweet essence out of my
lungs and I feel sure there is a large and
growing citizenry who also have a dif
ficult time, after arriving in the Upper
or Nether Promised Lands, removing
the faint taint of ether and chloro
form from their spiritual finger nails..
The sounds are more varied. There
is a grinding sound. It scarcely ever
comes in pure form, being most oftencd
mingled with sotto voce groans and
high treble shrieks. The emotion re
produced in the human breast by this
sound is unmistakeable; imagine a
venerable old Spanish Inquisitor pluck
ing out a victims finger nails by the
roots. Get it? Great sensation! Then
there is a various assortment of clanks
and clatters and tinkle, with ever and
anon a sound suggestive of a meat saw
in action.
The sights are touched with a bit of
monotony. In the waiting room every
one is sitting and everyone is waiting.
One touch of nature makes the whole
world kin; two touches render a doc
tor’s office positively humdrum—sit
ting and waiting. The human race has
•never learned to sit and wait gracefully.
Of course, there is a liberal supply of
reading material on the waiting room
table. But did you ever run through
it? There is a snappy number of the
Medical Journal devoted to a posi
tively thrilling tale on Palingenetic
regeneration, with also an absorbing
account of the latest pupillostatometer.
There is also a volume of surgical ex
periments that one persues with a vivid
interest, and at the end of each experi
ment there is quite often that old, old
refrain that is no longer humorous,
“operation successful, patient died.”
And naturally there is an issue or two
of the Salvation Army paper on hand
dealing with the trials and troubles of
one Captain Jinks who spreads the
gospel among the Hard Ones of Toidv
Toid Street in the Bowery. Also there
is a Saturday Evening Post, dated Jan
uary 10, 1011. Very snappy reading
material- Perhaps that’s why people
prefer to fold their hands and assume
the staring expression commonly found
in the kine who have eaten overly much
of clover.
• • •
Hey ho! We pass on. (Not to be con
fused with shuffling off.) Shall we
sing another verse?
Cough syrup, brown pills, sizz boom
boom!
Pretty little pellets to chase away the
gloom.
"We sound you, pound you—what’s your
father’s maiden name?
"Breathe deep, swallow hard—the same
door out as when you came.
UNIVERSITY INFIRMARY
REPORTS BUSY WEEK-END
Five Operations on Tonsils Performed;
Beds Completely Filled; Fin
Found In Eugene
Five tonsillectomy operations were
performed at the University infirmary
last week-end, according to the report'
made by the University health service
this morning. These cases, together
■with the unusual number of grippe
cases that have developed during the
past week, filled the beds at the in
firmary during the week-end. Had
there been any eases requiring care
it would have been necessary to send
th<un to the Eugene hospitals. The i
students who had their tonsils removed
have all been discharged and there is
now room for another “rush” or any
emergency that might arise. The de
partment advises extreme care" in
watching for colds^and throat trouble
as there have been a number of cases
of influenza reported from the towns
people and there also have been re
ports of the epidemic breaking out in
the east.

VARSITY TO TANGLE
WITH CARDINALS IN
Davies and Richmond Onh
Veterans Remaining on
Stanford Five
FIRST TILT ON TONIGH1
Oregon Primed for Battle:
Contests Expected to
Be Full of Fight
Primed for battle but weakened by
the loss of several of last year '• stars
the quintet from Leland Stanford Jr
University will open their Pacific Coast
Conference season in a two game series
with the varsity, the first of which will
be played in the Armory at 7:30 tonight
Although the Cardinals have one of the
lightest teams in the big conference
they have a couple of classyr veterans
in Davies, forward and Richmond
guard, who form the point getting
nucleus for this year's five.
The first of last week the Stanford
quintet celebrated the opening of their
new $100,000 basketball pavillion by
defeating the speedy' College of the
Pacific five 30-21, while last Wednes
day' night Van Gents hoopers came out
on top 25-21 in a see-saw struggle with
the Olympic Club’s basketball aggrega
tion.
The two opposing teams will probably
line up as follows: Oregon. Andre and
Mare Latham, forwards; Zimmerman,
center; Burnett and Beller, guards.
Stanford, Davies, (capt.) and McHose,
forwards; Janssen, center; Richmond
and DeGroot, guards; with last minute
switches probable. For the varsity,
Veatch, Edlunds, Altstock, Goar and
Rockliev will likely have an opportun
ity to show their wares in one or both
of the contests.
Following the two-game series with
Oregon ending Wednesday' the Cards
will journey to Corvallis where they
will take on the Agriculturists Friday
and Saturday. According to the Ore
gonian these games with the Aggies
the last of the week will be the first
test of strength for the invading five,
which would seem to let us out. How
ever, whether considered as a test of
strength or not the games should be
iard fought and with the improvement
evinced by' Bohler’s proteges in the
Washington series the Palo Altoans
will have to hustle to come out on top.
Following the Stanford series the
iTar8itv will get a much needed rest
mil an opportunity to improve team
work and shooting before they tangle
with the Aggies at Eugene on Febru
ary 3 and 4.
ADDITIONAL SPACE GIVEN
TO PHYSICS DEPARTMENT
Alterations Made in Basement of Deady
Provide More Boom for Laboratory
and Recitation
Recent changes in the basement of
Deady hall have provided additional
space for the use of the department of
physics. The office of Dr. W. P. Boyn
ton, head of the department, has been
established; and two former instruc
tion rooms have been taken over, one
of them being converted into a labora
tory.
In the large room on the north side
of the basement partitions have been
erected, forming three rooms, one being
occupied by Dr. Boynton, another be
ing used as a reading room, and the
third as a store room. This space was
formerly the headquarters of Professor
Cloran, who has since moved to the
Oregon building. The office vacated
by Dr. Boynton is now used by Mr.
Pruett.
The rooms on the south side were
formerly used by Professors Schmidt
and Thorstenberg, of the department
of German. After they moved to the
Oregon building during the summer
session last year, the rooms remained
idle until the last part of last term,
when one of them was converted into a
laboratory. The other changes also
were made at this time.
FOBMEB STUDENT BEPOETEB
Clarence Anderson of Moro, who was
a member of the Emerald staff last
year, writes that he is now local re
porter and assistant in the mechanical
end of the Sherman County Observer,
published at Moro. The weather seems
to have been frosty over there of late,
for Clarence breaks out in rhyme with
a twelve-line poem of protest, which
starts out like this: “The coal man
grins a fiendish smile as Jack Frost
grows still bolder.”
STUDENTS TO VOTE ON
AMENDMENT WEDNESDAY
Minor Sports Charge to be Decided at
Special Election; Two Thirds
Majority Necessary
The amendment to the constitution
of the associated student body, con
cerning fees for minor sports, will be
voted on Wednesday, January 25, ac
cording to Norton Winnard, appointed
by President Bartholomew to have
. charge of elections. The polls will be
open from i) a. in. until 3 p. m. This
| amendment was to have been voted on
January 17, but had to be postponed
as the office of the University comp
troller had not been able to make out
the ballot books at that time.
There is to be no electioneering in
the vicinity of the polls, which is desig
nated as Villard hall, says Winnard.
There will be an inspector, clerk, and
ballot distributor at the polls all the
time. The amendment requires 300
votes, with a two-thirds majority of
this number, in order to pass.
The amendment is as follows: Amend
ment to Article X, finance, section 1,
dues, paragraph one, of the Consti
! tution of the Associated Students, to
i read as follows:
The dues of the individual members
of the association shall be twelve dol
lars per year; payable four dollars at
the beginning of each term upon pay
I inent of which they shall be entitled to
| a “Student Season Ticket” admitting
them to all University games or con
tests as the Executive Council may
order, provided that at the discretion
of the Executive Council, a nominal
fee may be charged for minor sport
competitions.
LIBRARY EDS SHELVES
NEW ADDITION TO STACKS WILL
COST NEARLY $17,000
Mr. Douglass Tells of Serious Lack
of Space to Store New Books
Which are Increasing
Due to the overcrowded condition of
the library, the librarian, M. H. Doug
lass, is trying to effect the purchase
of some new shelves where books may
be stored. The Htaek rooms are full
to capacity and there is an urgent need
for additional tiers of shelves to make
room for new books.
There are at present three tiers of
steel stack frames in the library. It
is possible to attach above these two
additional frames with floors attached.
The library stack wing was so con
structed as to allow room for twTo more
floors when needed. The need is great
now, Mr. Douglass says.
“The expense of placing these new
shelves would amount to approximately
$17,000, said Mr. Douglass yesterday.
“The price has been reduced so that
construction now would be $8000 less
than it would have been last year.
Perhaps at close figuring the cost
would not exceed $15,000.”
Should the University not be able to
afford the installation of the steel
frames, it was suggested that wooden
ones be installed temporarily. If a
new building were erected for the li
brary the steel shelves could be>jnoved
and utilized, but the wooden ones would
have to be scrapped.
“The advantages in the steel
shelves,” said Mr. Douglass, “is not
only that they are permanent but that
they keep the books in much more sani
tary condition. They allow for greater
ventilation. The so-called bar shelf is
free from dust. Their size is greater
for the space they occupy.”
ART MAJORS CLUB TO MEET
Plana for Getting Glass Case for Art
Gift is Topic of Luncheon
Majors of the normal arts department
of the school of architecture and allied
arts will meet Friday noon at the
Anchorage for luncheon to discuss plans
for raising money to pay for a glass
case which the normal arts club has
decided to obtain to hold a part of the
art collection recently presented to the
University by Mrs. Murray Warner, of
Eugene.
It is hoped that all majors in the
department will attend the meeting.
C.P.A. ORGANIZER
High Standard of Integrity,
Quality of Work. Told
Commerce Majors
FACULTY GIVES BANQUET
Examinations Are Conducted
by American Institute
of Accountants
S. P. Richardson, secretary of the
American Institute of Accountants,
with headquarters at Washington, T).
addressed a large group of students
in the Commerce building yesterday
afternoon on the high standards of in
tegrity and quality of work of expert
accountants. Last night he was the
principle speaker at a banquet held in
his honor at the Hotel Osburn.
The American Institute of Account
ants, is an organization of national
reputation, conducting 0. P. A. exami
nations in 38 states, and maintains a
bureau of information on the clear
ing house plan which is at the service
of any C. P. A. in the country.
Mr, Richardson's idea of an ac
countant is the man with initiative and
acumen.
“To men that are cathedral builders
T want to talk as accountants and not
to the ones that work for the day’s
wages,” said the speaker in his after
noon address.
“The accountant is a merchant of
fact,” continued Mr. Richardson.
“When an accountant ermses to deal
with facts he ceases to be an account
ant. The accountant is the only per
son in the world who can attain per
fection Hi his work, and that is because
he has only one thing to deal with.”
Mr. Richardson laid down three es
sentials of the successful accountant.
First, inborn ability and inclination;
second, technique acquired through col
lege education; third, integrity and
honesty.
To be certified as an accountant by
the institute, the applicant must receive
a degree from a college recognized by
the institute and practice two years
before the examination can be taken.
If the applicant has not received a de
gree from a recognized college, a fivo
years’ practice is required.
Mr. J. J. McKnight, director of the
Albany College school of commerce,
spoke on matters dealing with com
merce and business administration at
the Osburn hotel banquet in the even
ing. Malcomb ITnwk, a senior in the
University school of business admin
istration, was toastmaster at the ban
quet. Other speakers of the evening
were Mr. Richardson, Dean Robbins
and Professors V. R. McDougal and
Thomas J. Bolitho of the school of
business administration.
Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Richard
son, who is accompanying him on the
western trip, were entertained by the
University faculty members who are
members of Beta Alpha Psi, honorary
accounting fraternity.
CHURCHILL TO BE VISITOR
State Superintendent of Schools Will
Speak to Education Club
J. A. Churchill, state superintendent
of public instruction, will speak at a
meeting of the Educational Club to
night on “Some Needs of the Oregon
Educational System.” During his two
days’ stay Mr. Churchill will visit the
University High School and on Wednes
day will be initiated into Phi Delta
Kappa, honorary education fraternity.
Miss Ruth Montgomery, assistant to
Dr. B, W. DeBusk, who travels about
the state studying abnormal children,
will also speak on “Two High School
Surveys” at the Education Club meet

the Education building.
Old Shoes, Clothes, Anything
Wanted in Y. W. Campus Drive
Old shoes, discarded furniture, unused
books, clothes that hang on hooks when
they might be protecting someone from
the winterv blasts, pictures that have
lost their appeal, hats, that since the
appearance of the “scandal sheet” are
too small, all these things and anything
else wearable, usable or eatable, will
be asked for at every house on the
campus, both sororities and fraternities,
when the Booster committee of the Y.
W. C. A. makes a canvass of the cam
pus.
The object of the canvass is to secure
donations for the big rummage sale
to be held on Friday and Saturday, the
27th and 28th of this month. The sale
will be held in the Stanford block, on
Willamette street, between Sixth and
Seventh street.
While University girls are making
a tour of the campus for anything and
everything they can persuade the stu
dents to part with, the women of the
advisory board of the Y. W. will be ap
pealing to the townspeople for eontri
butions. • Girls with culinary abilities-1
are asked to furnish anything from
doughnuts to fudge, as a cooked food
sale will be held in connection with
the rummage sale.

UnLliUN LUbtS MSI GIL
SUNDODGERS’ OFFENSE TOO
MUCH FOR VARSITY
Long Shots Feature of Contest; Score
Even in Final Period; Rockhcy,
Bellor Star for Oregon
Outclassed in shooting and teamwork
Saturday, the Varsity dropped the
second game of the Washington series
bv a 10 to 20 score- The fast Sun
dodger quintet lived up to expectations,
but had more difficulty in winning
, than on the previous night, for the Ore
gon squad fought like wild men
throughout, and most of the Washing
ton markers were scored on long shots.
The feature of the game was the close
guarding of both teams, for most of the
successful shots were long ones, and
during the first half both teams were
checking at the center of the floor.
The shooting of the Sundodgers could
not be denied though, for Crawford,
Lewis, ad Nicholson dropped them in
regularly from long distance points.
Coach Bolder as usual used all of his
eleven men, changing them around dur
ing the game so that the same lineup
was seldom in for more than five min
utes. The Oregon squad was unable
to convert during the first half, being
on the short end of a 19 to 5 score when
the whistle blew. Three of the points
were made on fouls.
The Varsity fought during the last,
half better than at any time during the
season, the result showing in the score,
for during this half scoring honors were
oven, a both teams made 21 points.
Substitutions were made at frequent
intervals during the last half and at the
end of the game the lineups differed
completely from the start of the game.
Bellor played his usual fast game at
guard. Rockhey who wont in at for
ward for Andre late in the first half,
made ten points, playing an unusually
fast game on the floor. Crawford and
Sielk were the outstanding men on the
Washington team. Crawford, the di
minutive little guard seemed to have
no end of endurance, and his wonderful
accuracy on log shots was the sensa
tion of the Washington offense.
The lineup:
Oregon (26) Washington (40)
Zimmerman, 2. F.Nicholson, 8
Andre, 2.1’. Lewis, 8
Latham, 2.C. Sielk, ’0
Burnett .G. Crawford, 8
Couch .O. Bryan, 6
Altstock .8. Froude
Boiler, 2 .8. Gundlach

Complimentary Dance to Fol
low Musical Event: Seats
on Sale at Co-op
The rush is on for seats for the big
gest musical event of the year, the
eoneert of the University Men’s Qleo
elul), which is to be put on at the Wo
man’s building, Saturday evening at
S:15 o clock. Tickets were put on sale
at the Coop and at Kuykendall’s yes
terday afternoon, and since that time
they have been going Just. A number
of the sorority and fraternity houses
are buying seats in blocks.
The price of 75 cents is for the same
concert for which one dollar is ordinar
ily charged when the club puts on its
program while on tour. A dance will
be given after the eoneert, with the
men of the club as hosts, and is a com
plimentary affair. Thus, the entire
evening’s entertainment, the program
and the dance, are less than that which
is ordinarily received for the concert
alono. “It is the biggest 75 cents
worth of amusement that has been of
fered on the campus for a long time,”
says Arthur Itudd, manager of the club.
All are invited to stay for the dance
Club Practices Often
The glee club has been practicing
every night, mid have their program in
splendid shape for presentation. “The
men have been practicing hard,” says
John Stark Evans, director of the club,
“and things are going fine. The con- »
cert promises to be very interesting.”
No other student body affairs are
scheduled for Saturday night, and with
nothing to interfere, a record-breaking
crowd is expected for the concert. Mc
Bride’s orchestra, the well-known col
lege harmony specialists, will furnish
the music for the dance afterwards.
Tt is rumored that the local items
which will be given will be a scream.
The famous song of a year ago will be
completely out boosted by the new one,
which is an unusually comic take-off
on various phases of campus life.
