UNIQUE ENGLISH CLUB ORGANIZED ON CAMPUS Interest in Reading Will be Object of Meetings An English club, unique in that it has no membership, no dues, no rules and is absolutely informal, has recently been organized under the direction of Miss Ida V. Turney, of the English de partment, for the purpose of stimulat ing student interest in reading. The odub meets every Wednesday evening from 7 until 8:30 o’clock in the En glish laboratory in the Sociology build ing, and IB open to anyone who is inter ested in any kind of reading. "Anyone just happens in,” said Miss Turney, emphasizing the informal as pects of the club. “There is no defi nite plan of discussion, nor any Bet program. Those who come to the meet ings talk in groups. There will al ways be several interested people there who will be glad to talk over things with the students, and any type of literature which anyone has been read ing will receive the attention of those in charge,” Miss Turney continued. Interest not Widespread Miss Turney pointed out the fact ♦hat a club Bueh as this will not receive widespread interest, nor is it intended for this purpose. “It will only interest a small group,” Miss Turney explained, “But that interest has been decidedly marked, and I feel that here is an op portunity for real service, in encourag ing students—particularly freshmen, to do wide reading and to give them the opportunity of discussing this reading informally.” In response to requests from a num ber of students who have found their knowledge of grammar deficient and wish to review the work given in the elementary schools, the English depart ment is sponsoring a six weeks’ course of instruction in grammar. This course will be given every Thursday evening from 7 until 8, and will bo purely a lee-! ture course, requiring no outside as signments and offering no college j credit. Tt will be a practical elemen tary course in sentence structure, Miss Turney pointed out, and will include study of grammar studied from the 4th grade to high school. Remey Cox in Ohargo Remey Cox will bo in charge of this course. Any student who wishes help in connection with the course will re ceive it. The only stipulation is that he do consistent work. Although attendance in this course will be purely voluntary, those plan r.ing to attend are requested to leave ♦heir names with Miss Turney or other members of the English department not later than next week, and nre expected to attend the class regularly. The first nieoting will bo held Thursday night at 7 o’clock in the English laboratory in the Sociology building.

Military summer camps will be held this coming summer, according to an nouncements being made to military classes, although there is a possibility jf sufficient finance not being on hand it Washington which would necessitate the camps being called off.

However, these students have been properly cared for in the various houses, or in the places where they board. Danger Beported Over “The danger of this epidemic is past if the students, housemothers, and others continue to cooperate as they have,” is the assurance contained in a statement from Dr. Bovard’s office. “They have dono a good job, and have made things better for us nnd better on the campus.” The infirmary has been full for a number of days. Most of the students are there for from two to four days only, ns the cases of serious illness are few. The students have shown good judgment in going to the infirmary sarly, when the first symptoms of ill ness appeared, according to members >f the health service. It is much easier o care for them when this is done, and n most cases the grippe or bad cold ms been stopped before it got fairly itarted. All departments of the University, ooth ns to students nnd faculty mem oers have felt the effects of the epi lemic. Many classes have not met luring the past week, due to illness of he instructors, and in all classes there mve been a number of vacant seats in videnoe. In most cases, however, the bsence has been of only one or two [ay's duration.

If this is done, it is held that | conditions will continue to improve,! and the epidemic will soon be a thing of the past The Oregon campus is not alone in : these light forms of illness at the present time. News from other col leges on the coast show similar condi tions prevalent on such campuses as1 that of the University of Washington. A light epidemic, resembling the “flu,” but not considered serious, is causing the health service of the latter school considerable work.

Better Leadership Needed “What China needs is more ener getic, resourceful, and unselfish lead ers to cope with the gamut of problems which she faces,” said Mr. Edmunds in concluding his address. To produce these leaders, as well as to create a higher level of general intelligence and character among the whole people, edu cation must furnish the foundation, and this must be an education in which Christian ideals of character will be combined with efficiency for service.” He emphasized the lack of sufficient number of American instructors and expressed a plea that the University of Oregon might send an instructor to j the Canton Christian College.
