9 LEGISLATORS NOT TO CUT STATE All Number of Ex-Service Men Applying for Money Decreasing Yearly Ex-service men enrolled in the Uni versity, receiving state aid as provided by section 5536 of Oregon Laws, en acted at the special session of the state legislature in 1920, wjll not be affected in any way by the bill before the pres ent session, according to Dean Colin V. Dyment. The bill up provides for a reduction of the total amount needed for the 1923-24 expenses. The Oregon state budget commission, reporting on the requirements for the state activities for the year 1923-24, estimates that $275,000 to be derived from a millage tax, will be needed for the soldiers, sailors and marines educa tional aid. The estimated expenditures for 1921-22 were $824, 647.30. Each year the number of men apply ing for aid, has decreased. Thus a smaller levy will suffice, said Dean Dyment. The original bill passed in 1920, pro vided that there shall be included in the state levy of taxes each year an amount equal to two-tenths of one mill on the dollar of the total value of tax able property of the state, according to the next previous assessment and equalization thereof. Amendments to the bill in the state laws of 1921 read, that when funds are exhausted, the secretary of state shall issue certifi cates of ndebtedness to any one who has a valid claim, redeemable from the first money credited under and by vir-| tue of said succeeding levy of taxes, immediately after January. In the fall term of this school year 165 men were listed as receiving aid at the University, 40 of them having ob tained help since the fund was frist established. The man receive $25 a month for eight months of the year, provided that their records show they are in good standing. All men who were residents of Oregon at the time of enlistment prior to the signing of the Armistice are entitled to apply for aid, if they served outside the S. A. T. C., naval unit, or the Spruce Divi sion. CAMPUS SCRIBES ACTIVE Work of Short Story Class Placed on Eastern Market College is the training ground of writers of stories that are accepted, trade journalists whose work and names appear in national publications and poets who write rhymed and a great many un-rhymed verses for which they receive checks. A letter of acceptance is the aspira tion of every scribe on the campus. Several members of Mr. Thacher’s short story class have sent manuscripts to Brandt and Kirkpatrick, manu script brokers of New York who have extended this class the courtesy of reading and passing on stories sent them, and are anxiously awaiting news of their stories. At least two of these short story writers are confident of •the acceptance of their creations. One campus poet, Who frequently has verses in print is eagerly awaiting the appearance of a poem in the next issue of the Spectator, a Portland weekly. GRIPPE EPIDEMIC PASSING Health Department Urges Students to Continue Guard Against Malady Because of the spirit of cooperation shown by the students, in trying to avoid taking colds and in isolating sus pected cases, the University health ser vice reports that the epidemic of grippe has not made much headway on the campus. % The infirmary has been filled to capacity, but there are not so many patients now as there were a few days ago. The health service urges that students continue to take all possible precautions to avoid the malady. Bead the Classified Ad column.

L. Warner at the Warner coast! studios.

Kyne I scored an artistic triumph at the Rex | theatre last night. Jack Holt is in the I stellar role with Eva Novak playing the I leading feminine part. In the cast are Jj. P. Lockney, Bert Woodruff, Frank j Nelson, and Robert Dudley. | The work of Mr. Holt as Horace | Winsby is admirable. His is the part I of a provincial and a multi-millionaire snob. Eva Novak as the heroine ef fects his regeneration when she en I counters him in the city where he is j! penniless and alone. Joseph Henabery | has succeeded admirably in his produc ! tion of this story which was adapted I for the screen by Albert Shelby Le Vino.

A fair proportion of the men have engaged in practices of their own while some have connected with reliable firms in Port land and their advancement in various cases indicates that their work has been satisfactory. In citing instances of students who have entered the legal profession Wil liam G. Hale, dean of the law school, mentioned Russell Morgan and Arthur Berg who upon matriculation formed a partnership and are now practicing at Coquille; Borden Wood, who is identified with the McCamant and Thompson firm; and E. Hollister, who is with Carey and Kerr in Portland. /Gordon Wells, another alumnus, has a practice in Eugene while his brother, Harold Wells, is also in Eugene practicing with his father. Lester McCroskie is located at Staten, Ore gon. Women who study law find places as clerks while some of them enter pub lic service, said Dean Hale. One Ore gon graduate, Miss Josephine Howe, has been with the public service wel fare board in Portland for the past two /years. “The place of women in the legal field is substantially important as that of men,” said Dean Hale in comment ing on the situation. “The opening *f jury service to women makes it easier for women attorneys to appear I in court. When woman’s suffrage was first advocated, it was argued that the polls were not decent places for wo men. The natural retort was, ‘make them decent’—and that has been one of the things which the introduction of women into politics has accomp lished; and a similar influence will be felt in the court room. “The phase of legal education which impresses me most,” affirmed Dean Hale, “is its place in our general scheme of education. More and more I am conceiving law as being of spec ial value not to the group which intends to practice law, but to every man and woman going out to fill his place as a citizen in this democracy. “As a social science it is as important as the other sciences; and educationally it should be classified with economics, sociology and political science.” I ORATORIO CONTESTS SOON Men’s Triangular Debate Scheduled For March 2 > A triangular debate between the men’s teams of Oregon, Stanford, and the University of Washington will be held on March 2. Besides this there are four oratorical contests coming up, according to Mr. Thorpe. The regular state contest, the state Peace con test, the Pacific Coast contest, and the Northwest contest. For the Northwest contest, which is between Oregon, Washington, and Ida ho, there is a prize of $100 offered. The Pacific Coast contest is something new this year. “There is a great deal of interest developing here on the cam pus,” said Mr. Thorpe. “We beat both Washington and Stanford last year. The oratory development is important I at this time.” “This first tryout will be only for . the state contests, so there will be other chances for students who desire 1 to try out. Those who are interested 'should be preparing now,” Mr. Thorpe said. MANY BOOKS BORROWED FROM OTHER LIBRARIES; Other Schools in Northwest Furnish Material for Study; Students Pay Own Postage The Universities of Washington, Cal ifornia, Stanford, Salem and even as far away as Missouri are occasionally called upon to furnish books and material which is not available in our own university library. Students and professors borrow ing these books are subject to the same time limits as residents at those colleges. When a book is borrowed for an individ ual, he pays the postage both ways ex cept in the ease of professors, when the library pays the postage. These books may be borrowed for any department or any course given at the University. Other universities do not borrow from Oregon as much as Oregon borrows from them. High schools and individuals and extension students all over the State of Oregon borrow freely from the University library, sometimes sending for as many as five books at a time. The usual number of books bor- j rowed at one time is between one and * four. In this service the library sent out 10-16 packages containing 2512 books during the last year. The University also borrows from the Medical school of Portland, from the Portland Library Association and oc casionally from O. A. C. Medford and the Oregon State Library Association borrow more heavily from this library than any other institutions. MAGAZINE PRINTS ARTICLE Work of School of Journalism and Des cription of New Building Told An article about the school of jour nalism by Ralph D. Casey, publicity j director of the University, appeared in the January number of the Pacific I iPrinter and Publisher. It described the new journalism building which when completed will be one of the best equipped journalism schools in the country. About one hundred former students in the school /of journalism, stated Mr. Casey, are now actively engaged in newspaper work.
