MANY STUDENTS
USE LOAN FUND
$20,000 More Could be Used
if it Were Available,
Says Dean Straub
“If we had $20,000 more, we could
use it,” seid Dean Straub, speaking
of the Student Loan Fund of the Uni
versity. He said there are demands
for loans all during the year and es
pecially in the spring, when students
often find they haven’t enough money
to finish the college year.
Students wishing loans first make
applications on blanks procured from
Dean Straub. These are considered by
a committee composed of President
Campbell, Dean Straub, Carlton Spen
cer, registrar, and L. II. Johnson,
comptroller. As a rule, loans are not
given to freshmen, though this is some
times done, if, in the third quarter,
a student finds he cannot complete the
year without borrowing thirty-five or
forty dollars.
The committee allows a sophomore
to borrow $100 during the year, a jun
ior $150, and a senior $200. To get a
loan, a student must present two se
curities, signed by tax-payerB and ap
proved by the committee.
The Loan Fund was started by Wil
liam M. Ladd of Portland, Mr, A. S.
Roberts of The Dalles and the class
of 1904. For several years the total
amount was only $500. At the begin
ning of 1909, Senator R. A. Booth of
Eugene, became interested and with
several others increased the fund to
over $10,000. At present it amounts
to $13,000, although there is only
$2,000 available at present, as over 100
notes are out.
The most recent contribution to the
fund came about a year ago, when Max
Handman. a former student, who four
or five years ago borrowed $100 from
the fund, sent in us payment, a $1,000
Liberty bond. About $000 a year
comes in as interest from the students
on the borrowed money, so that there
is, always some accumulating. The
largest contributions however, usually
come from private estates or liberal
citizens.
ACQUISITION OF BOOKS
BY LIBRARY DECLINES
Reserve Section Busiest Department;
Large Demand for Literature In
Romance Languages Noted
Seven thousand six hundred sixty
hooks were added to the collection at
the University library in the past year,
according to a report issued by H. M.
Douglass, librarian. The total num
ber of volumes at present is 106,6-49.
The rate of increase fell below average
the last year, varying from 8,1191, of
the previous five years, to 7,060. This
decrease of 9211 volumes is due to the
increased cost of books and binding.
The busiest department of the li
brary is the reserve section. Last
year 100,21 I books were issued. A to
tal of 10,711 volumes were on reserve.
This term the demand for books is
per cent heavier than last year. The
daily issue at present varies from 370,
to 1012, averaging about 800 each day.
The largest number of books is issued
the first ol the week. The decline in
the latter part is rapid.
There lias been an increase in the
reading of literature of the Romance
languages, says Mrs. Mabel McClain
of tin' circulation desk. There were
1S2 rtf these books out yesterday. Mrs.
McClain attributes the demand for
such writing to the after-war interest
in the eouditioas of Kurope.

good many years,” said Mr. M. H.
Douglass, librarian. The books were
written in the early 1800’s and concern
themselves with the early development
of the country.
Mr. Douglass is going to put in a
bid on a number of the books. About
$3,000 could be spent on books in this
collection which would be of value to the

CHEMISTS RECEIVE ODD
SPECIMENS TO EXAMINE
St. Louis Factory Sends Sample of
Vinegar From Texas Plant to
be Analyzed in Lab
j Specimens ranging from counterfeit
j money to vinegar and arriving from
[daces as far away as Texas are being
examined in the chemistry department
of the University of Oregon.
A counterfeit dollar, obtained from
one of the banks, was brought into the
office the other day by a student in
analytical chemistry. Upon a close
analysis, it was found to be made al
most entirely of tin. It passed as a
good dollar, the only noticeable dif
ference was that it was a good deal
lighter than an ordinary dollar.
“An analysis of liquor is a common
occurrence,” said Prof. F. L. Shinn, of
the chemistry department. “We have
just tested four samples made from
prune juice. Two of them contained
ti.2 per cent alcohol and the others 7
[ter cent.”
A test just completed for the Tru
Blu Biscuit company, in the chemistry
laboratory, reassured them that the
glucose, which they are using is per
fectly satisfactory.
“A St. Louis factory wrote that
they were having some vinegar sent
to us from their Texas plant to be
tested,” stated Prof. Shinn.
Specimens of ore are frequently re
ceived fof examination. At present,
there are some pieces of ore from Mon
tana in the office, waiting to be ana
lyzed for the presence of gold and
platinum.
“I don’t know why they send their
specimens out here,” concluded Prof.
Shinn. “They probably send them to
many institutions and avoid paying
the high prices that are demanded by
commercial examiners, as we only
charge for the time required to make
the tests.”
MILK AND CRACKERS POPULAR
The milk and crackers sold in the
Women’s gym are proving popular with
the girls between classes. An average
of fifty pints a week is being sold.
The girls who have been drinking the
milk say that it helps them in keeping
up their strength during a day of
strenuous classes. Girls who are un
der weight are especially urged to
drink milk.
