HEALTH SERVICE HERD RETURNS Dr. W. K. Livingston Back From Ten-Day Trip KOFOID’S WORK STUDIED Amoebic Infections Long Known to Doctors Dr. W. K. Livingston, head of the University health service, has returned to the campus after an absence of about ten days, which he spent at the University of Cali fornia studying the work of Dr. Charles A. Kofoid on “amoebiosis.” Dr. Kofoid, head of the department of zoology at that university, is one of the foremost famous stu dents of protozoa in either this country or abroad,” said Dr. Liv ingston, “and he has been making a very intensive study of the amoe. , ba, which are parasitic in man.” There are some six types of amoeba found in the intestinal tract of the human body, as shown by the work of Dr. Kofoid, and at least one of these amoebae is pathogenic. This amoeba is capable of causing ulceration of the intes tinal wall. This ulceration, when extensive, shows itself by the symptom of diarrhea and the ac companying illness known as amoe bic dysentery, has long been known to the medical profession. Amoeba Very Small Dr. Kofoid and his co-workers, however, have tried to show that dysentery is by no means charac teristic of infection by this amoe ba. He states that certain inai viduals with considerable resis tance to the amoeba may present no signs and that the parasitic amoeba and his host may finally arrive at a stte of armed neutrality from which state an active warfare may be resumed at any time. The amoeba which is found in these chronic cases is often very small and may take its way into the blood stream, according to Dr. Kofoid. Once having gained ac cess to the blood stream, it may enter practically any organ or tis sue of the body. He claims to have found amoebae in the lungs, the liver, the bones, the spleen, and the lumph glands. Kofoid’s Work Extensive In the past five years, Dr. Ko foid has supervised some 32,000 examinations of 11,000 cases. A large number of these cases have been returned soldiers, among whom Dr. Kofoid claims to have found a considerable number of infec tions. For the past few years he has carried,on his work in connec tion with clinical physicians. Treat ment has resulted in considerable benefit to persons infected with amoeba. In the short time that Dr. Liv ingston was enabled to put in at the University of California, it was impossible to properly evaluate this woTk. He said, “It seems possible, however, that amoebic infection may explain certain vague and chronic disorders which have here. to-fore eluded diagnosis, and with in the limits of our time and facil ity we will probably study such cases here on the campus.” LEAGUE TO HOLD MASS MEETING AT 5 TODAY A mass meeting of Women’s league will be held at 5 o’clock this afternoon in Villard hall.

Raup’s Flower Shop 832 Willamette Phone 616 STUDENTS’ RESPONSE TO INFLUENCE ALUMNI Big Campus Drive to Be Great Send-off, Says National Chairman of Campaign “The eyes of the alumni all over the state and country are centered on the; campus—to Bee how tl(e students will respond to the ap. peal for a student union,” is the opinion of Robert Kuykendall, na tional chairman of the alumni cam paign. “The sitViiation might be compared to the bonfire before a big game. A successful student union drive will be a wonderful send-off for the alumni and state wide campaigns.” Mr. Kuykendall, who is touring the state, is in a position to feel keenly the attitude of the alumni, and is of the belief that the out come of the student union drive will be of the greatest importance in shaping the success of the later drives. “The alumni have undertaken a very large per cent of the whole campaign, especially when one con siders it is a young alumni body with 55 per cent having been grad uated in the last 10 years. The greater part of the alumni are in the same position as the students; the sum they are to raise looks as big to them as does the student quota to the undergraduates. “Having undertaken this, the alumni body as a whole, and those in charge of the campaign feel that this thing can be done. The indi vidual alumni, however, who are just beginning to be aroused, will get a great deal of encouragement and will be helped to do a greater share when they see how the stu dents take hold of things. They will watch the papers, and when they see the response of the stu dents, they will raise their own ante.” The student union drive, starting April 23, and continuing for sev eral days, will be followed closely by the alumni drive, scheduled for May 9-31. “The alumni,” said Kuykendall, “will read about the student drive and will barely have time to as similate the the information when the alumni drive will start. At every alumni dinner will be given a report of*what the students have done. This will raise the standards of giving and will cheer them along.” Mr. Kuykendall explained the general plan of the campaign. “The whole thing is cumulative,” he said. “It starts at home with those nearest and most acquainted with its needs and with those most apt to respond. It proceeds then to the next closest group, the alumni, those who have been away for a few years, but who will respond when tlieir memories of Oregon are revived and when their hopes are spurred on. “These two groups which will naturally be the ones to start the ball rolling, and set the example for those people who know 1{lie University of Oregon by name only. “The first question these people will ask is, ‘What have the stu dents and alumni done?’ It is quite natural that these people who have no connection with the University are going to help only those who have helped themselves. ALUMNI PUBLICATION VOTED BEST ON COAST Convention of Secretaries Praises ‘Old Oregon’ “Old Oregon,” University alumni magazine, was unanimously “conceded to be the best publication of its kind on the coast, at the conference of al umni secretaries held last week in Spokane. Grace Edgington, editor of the magazine and alumni secretary at Or egon, was not able to attend the con ference, but Beatrix de Graff, ex-’24, who is working in Spokane, attended some of the sessions. W. C. Eells, alumni secretary of Whitman college an j president of the conference, wrote to the alumni of fice concerning the conference. “We were anxious to quiz you as to how your alumni magazine is ac complished, both as to financial and as to literary means. We shall hope that you will be able to arrange to be with us next year to answer ques tions in person.” Following his letter came one from Miss De Graff, who says, in speaking of Mr. Eells, “He remarked that they had spent much time in discussing the different alumni publications, and he told me they had unanimously con ceded the Oregon alumni magazine to be the best publication o fthe kind on the coast. Mr. Eells was so sin cere in his words of praise, that I heartily wished you might have been here to hear them yourself. He said J. G. Fletcher of Washington- re marked that he “simply didn’t see how they did it.” TRANSCRIPTS OF MEDICAL STUDENTS ARE BEING SENT The transcripts of all those stu dents who expect to enter medical school this fall are being sent to the medical school in Portland by the registrar’s office.

Latest Radio Triumph Shown by Recent Occurrence Wife, Vary 111, Sends Messages Broadcast to Absent Husband A wife taken suddenly ill. A husband out of reach of the ordin ary telegraph wire. A radio mes sage broadcast. A rush trip to her bedside. This is the story of the latest triumph of the newest method of communication. While J. Benly Stam, ex.’19, was traveling somewhere in Tillamook county, his wife, Louise Bailey Stam, ’16, was taken critically ill. She did not know which part of the state her husband was traveling in and could not communicate with him. Then, resourcefully-minded friends went to the Oregonian broadcasting station and asked that their message be sent out over the state. Although the request was unusual, KGW compliel and at 12:30 p. m. the message went out. At 1 o’clock, Stam boarded a train at Belfort, entirely unaware of the stir in the regions of the air, due to his absence from home. At Rector, the time-keeper of the logging camp boarded the train and informed Stam that he was wanted at home. Stam is a frequent traveler along that line and friends in the camps expected him to be on that train. At four more sta tions along the line, he was given the news. At Tillamook, three sta tions had picked up the message. In a few hours, Stam was home. Mrs. Stam is expected to recover.
