LIBRARY RECEIVES
1200 PERIODICALS
Publications Are on Hand for
All Departments; Class
Journals Lead List
Some 1200 magazines and periodicals
are taken by the University of Oregon
library. Many of these are class jour
nals and cover practically all depart
ments of the University all the way
from celestial mechanics to cookery.
Among the magazines of general and
popular interest are Atlantic Monthly,
The Bookman, Canadian Magazine, Cur
rent History, Current Opinion, Dial,
House Beautiful, Illustrated London
News, Illustrated World, International
Studio, Literary Digest, Musieian, Na
tional Geographic, Outing, Overland
Monthly, Poet Lore, Poetry, Popular
Science Monthly, Stars and Stripes,
Sunset, , Woman’s Home Companion
American Magazine, Collier’s Weekly,
Mentor, Scribners, Harpers, Country
Gentleman, Good Housekeeping, House
and Garden, Ladies Home Journal, Out
look, and Popular Mechanics.
Thirteen magazines are listed as re
lating to the School of Architecture.
The same number are taken for the
botany department, and for business
administration. Two are especially for
chemistry, three for dramatics, fourteen
for economics, 2-t for education, 13 re
late to geology, four to history, 12 are
included under the heading of journal
ism, six others for the mathematics de
partment. Three periodicals are de
voted to astronomy, two to music, throe
to philosophy, three to physics, seven
to physical education, 12 to political
science, 17 to psychology, 11 to zoology.
Students in the different departments
unfamiliar with all the magazines the
library takes relating to the subject
they are majoring in will And it inter
esting to look them up and to discover
what other men are thinking and doing
in the same fields.
It is frequently asked by students
why the library does not subscribe to
“Life,” and “Judge” and why they
do not see “The Studio” and “The
Camera” on the library shelves any
more. The answer is simple but signi
ficant. These magazines have been
withdrawn from goneral circulation be
cause they proved a temptation to those
who found many of the most beautiful
illustrations in them irresistible. To
save them from mutilation the library
has locked them in the cupboard under
neath the reference dosk in the main
reading room. Students wishing to see
these periodicals must ask for them per
sonally to Miss Humphrey, in charge
of the reference desk. It has beon^nec
essary to protect these magazines in
this way. Very few of the class publi
cations are of American authorship;
Most of them are from Prance and
Germany and some few are from Eng
land. There are 136 of these maga
zines.
THACHER WRITES BOOK
Short-Story Teaching Experience of
Ten Years to Be Basis of Text
Professor VV. F. G. Timelier is writ
ing n book on the subject of short story
writing. The material for the book has
been accumulated by Mr. Thaeher in
his short story writing classes during
the Inst 10 years.
The material. Mr, Thaeher said, is
the test of his teaching experience and
is the residuum from many experiments,
lie will follow the conventional ar
jangement of material with at least j
one novelty.
Instead of referring in the way of il
lustration to a great many short stories,
most of whch students will not have
read and which are difficult to secure,
Mr. Tliaeher> will include in his book
one complete short story selected with
the view to illustrate quality.
It will be at least a year before the
book will be completed.
FIRE DANGER NOT GREAT
(Continued from page one.)
on every floor of every building on the
campus,” he said. In the lougcr halls,
such as that of the University high
school, there are as many as four hoses,
and in halls the length of those at
Friendly, two hoses and connections are
always ready for immediate use.
Watchmen Guard Campus
lie also told of the system of watch
men, who cover every part of every
University building every hour each
night and of the two extra women who
remain on guard at the girls’ dormitor
ies throughout the hours of the night.
“These watchmen punch time clocks at
each place they visit and are closely
checked by our office,” he said.
It was also brought out that prac
tically all of the older buildings on the
campus had been rewired and in the
case of Villard and Friendly halls that
in additions to this work lire escapes
had been installed. He admitted that
McClure hall's wiring system needed
attention, saying that the work would
be done as soon as funds are available.
Department Not Necessary
That a campus tire department is not
necessary in the light of the precau
tions that are taken, is the belief of
Mr. Fisher. The lire whistle, which is
blown at 8 o’clock in the morning, is al
so used to summon the students in case
of eonflagratou and the only lire drills
that he feels are necessary are now
being conducted from time to time in
the women’s halls. .
A high-pressure pump which has the
capacity of 400 to 500 gallons a minute
is part of the heating plant and is at
tached to 36 fire plugs on the campus,
and with the two hose carts of 450
and 250 feet capacity, which are always
ready for use at the rear of the Uni
versity depot good protection is avail
able.
Improvements for Library
Mr. Fisher said that the heated con
nections in the library could not cause
fire, only the blowing out of the fuses,
and that larger wires were about to
be put in. He also mentioned that in
addition to the main stairway there is
a stairway from the reserve room down
through the fire-proof book stacks,
which would afford easy escape.
In regard to the insurance situation
Dean Dyment referred to the state law
■ which practically guarantees replace
ment by the legislature of buildings
I destroyed by fire.
GIFFEN IS NOW IN CHICAGO

lege, but most of the other schools in
[the West were represented. The con
ference, which is inter-denominational,
j lasted from January 9 to 12.
Mr. Giffen has planned to return
about the 23rd of this month. Because
| of his absence, his classes, numbers two
and three, will not meet till the last

INFIRMARY ’VANTS BOOKS
Some time ago a cry was sent out
from the infirmary for books and niaga-)
zines to be used by those who are un
able to recoive much enjoyment from
anything but literature. The call was
at first received with ready contribu
tions but at this time practically no
effort has been made to supply the
infirmary with books. It will be great
ly appreciated if this call is again heed
ed and kept in mind.
DEAN STRAUB SLIGHTLY ILL
Dean Straub is suffering from a light
touch of la grippe according to inform
ation given out last night. It was stat
ed, however, that he expected to meet

RIFLE COMPETITION
All Men Intersted Are Urged
to Turn Out Regularly
for Practice
Rifle competition between units of
ninth corps area, R. O. T. C., will be
held this term from February 1 to 28,
according to Lieutenant Knowles, in
charge of rifle practice at the military
department. The ninth corps area in
cludes universities and colleges in the
West and on the coas(0which have R.
O. T. C. units.
The Oregon team last year placed
third among 28 entries in the competi
tion, and with a few members of last
year’s team to build on, Lieutenant
Knowles hopes to make a strong bid
for first place this year.
After completion of the ninth corps
area match, the University team will
fire against teams from the University
of Washington, California, Delaware,
Maine, Northwestern University,' Ohio
State University, Columbia University,
O. A. C., _ Washington State College,
Utah Agricultural College. All matches
will be conducted by telegraph with the
exception of O. A. C., and possibly
some other coast units.
Lieutenant Knowles, in charge of the
firing, has issued a call for all R. O. T.
C. students to report at the barracks for
work preliminary to tryouts.
“I want every man who thinks he can
shoot, or who thinks he ’can learn, to
come out to rifle practice,” says Lieu
tenant Knowles. “Some of our best
shots last year were developed ffom
men who had never fired a rifle before.
you are a uiamoiiu in me rougn,
we want you.”
Only men who mean business neeil
try out for the team, however, says
Lieutenant Knowles, owing to the fact
that members of the firing squad must
be depended upon to be present when
called upon. Members of firing squad
who neglect practice will be dropped
immediately, and others will be put in
their places.
“Shooting is a real sport,” said Lieu
tenant Knowles, “and Oregon should
take her place with other like institu
tions sponsoring this sport. We are
looking forward to a winning team
this year, provided proper support is
forthcoming.”
Students will find someone on hand
at the barracks at all times to instruct
them in firing methods.
VOTE WILL INFLUENCE
(Continued from page one.)
the different departments of the Uni
versity.
Will Influence Faculty
Difference of opinion that was de
cidedly noticeable among the faculty
members does not appear to be so pro
nounced among the students with whom
the Emerald staff have come in con
tact, but enough warmth of feeling
has been expressed on both sides to in
sure a good representation of the stu- i
dent body in the straw vote and to in- ;
dicate that student opinion is not all;
on one side of the proposition. Especial- j
ly will a larger number of the students
make known their desire on the matter
through the medium of the ballot, not
that they have the assurance of the
[•resident that their wish will have con
iiderable influence in the determina
tion of faculty policy, and that he, and
the faculty as well, await with keen in
terest the outcome of the straw vote.

BOOK CIRCULATION LARGE
Nearly 255,000 Books Handled During
1922; Increase Is 32 Per Cent
The number of University library
books in circulation during the year
1922 was nearly a quarter of a million.
This is an increase of 32 per cent over
the yea/ 1921. This percentage is near
three times the growth of the enroll
ment in that period. In the reserve sec
tion alone the increase in use of books
is something over 34 per cent. The |
number of books issued for home use i
during the past year was 52,450. The
number of books taken from stacks for 1
use in the reading room was 7,683. The
number of reserves handed out to stu
dents in the main library was 180,513.
Since October the Business Administra
tion reserve books have had a circula
tion of 3,444. This brings the total of
books charged to patrons up to 244,
090. This does not include the refer
ence books charged out nor the number
of books taken from the open shelves.
In 1921 the total number of books in
circulation during the year was 185,307.
SUBSCRIPTIONS DUPLICATED
The University library has two sub
scriptions for a number of magazines,

Does a Whale Lay Eggs?
Maybe so and maybe not—“Whale eggs” a la Peter
Pan, ouee ordered, you’ll be back for more. Here’s
the dainty confection: gobs of vanilla ice cream
surrounded and covered with luscious crushed straw
berries. then embellished with sliced bananas, then
more ice cream, and more strawberries, all topped
with lots of nuts—that is “Whale Eggs.”
