LIFE SAVING IS TAUGHT
More Babes Swim This
Year Than Last
The freshmen may be considered
the underdogs by the sophomores
but they can justly defend them
selves in the art of swimming. Ac
cording to records recently com
piled by Rudolph Fahl, swimming
instructor in the school of physi
cal education, a larger number of
the present freshman class could
swim upon entering the University
than the present sophomore class.
The freshman test consists of two
lengths of the tank on the stomach
and one-half on the back, free style.
Frosh Beat Sophomores
This year’s freshman class had
438 men when school started last
fall. At the end of the winter
, term, March 20, 1925, it was found
that there were only 67 who could
still be classed as non-swimmers.
This made a percentage of 15.3
who could not swim, out of a class
of 438. This is about 1.3 per cent
greater than the per cent of sopho
mores who could not swim, al
though they have had a years in
struction. At the end of the past
winter term, 813 sophomores were
taking physical education, and it
was found that only 44 could, be
still classed as non-swimmers. This
makes a 14 per cent of sophomores
who were unable to swim.
It is the belief of Fahl that the
T. M. 0. A.’s, Summer camps for
boys, athletic clubs and other such
organizations can be responsible
for the large number of excellent
swimmers. Another thing that lias
helped is the fact that nearly every
small town or city has a municipal
pool of its own with a paid in
structor during the summer months.
Life Saving Taught
Bed Cross Life Saving instruc
tions are given by the University
of Oregon’s Bed Cross Life Sav
ing Corps. This is being done un
der the auspices of the physical
education department. A large
number of the swimmers taho this
life saving course and find it very
profitable in acting as life guards
during the summer months at some
of the bathing resorts throughout
the state. The physical education
department believes that it will be
only a matter of a few years until
all men entering the University
will be expert swimmers.

KLAMATH HIGH PRINCIPAL
LAUDS OREGON DEBATERS
In a recent letter to Dr. Dan E.
Clark, of the extension division,
the principal of the Klamath Falls
high school writes that ho was
among the thousands who listened
in to the Oregon-Stanford debate.
“Is casting my vote for the Uni
versity team,” he wrote, “I want to
say the Oregon boys did much bet
ter than the Stanford men. An
other interesting point, too, is that
radio KGW of the Morning Ore
gonian came in much better here
at Klamath Falls than radio KLX
of Oakland.”
RADIO MEN TO STUDY
TOR COMMERCIAL JOBS
Preparation of men for commer
cial radio licenses will lie the ob

group will be held early next week,
and those interested in commercial
operating are requested to bo pres
ent.

EXCELSIOR GETS GAMMA POI’S GOAT
w
MARY CAUGHT IN A
PLAYFUL MOOD
Mary was a little goat.
She belonged to Gamma Phi,
And ,upon her they did dote.
Until the goat did die.
Bah, Bah, Bah.
Now comes our story. The Gamma
Phis were feeding their goat, Mary,
a very palatable diet of nice fresh
hay, but the cost was found to be
prohibitive. So, as all the sisters
had become deeply attached to their
quadraped garbage incinerator, Lil
lian Tingle Luders originated the
I idea of mixing excelsior in Mary’s
fodder. The only trouble experienc
ed in this experiment'was that the
goat died—the poor little dear. Lil
lian is very sorry that the goat
died, because she wanted to find
the exact amount of nutrtion con
tained in excelsior. Obak extends
sympathy to the Gamma Phis.
MYSTERY SQUEAKS OUT
Obaks wishes to correct the er
roneous impression that the noise
on the southwest corner of Willam
ette and Ninth is caused by the
“squeak” from collegians’ English
brogues. Obaks is remodeling.
Such symphonies which issue forth
are the rythm and beat of the
saw and hammer—But at that—the
gang hangs around and plays a
little pool.
Kampus
OLLUM
Smoking on the campus has
caused a great deal of trouble at
the University lately, but the boys
at Obak’s still are able to put on
their smoke screens without any in
terference.
The April Frolic will be staged
tonight, which means that the boys
will have to spend a no date eve
ning at Obak’s. The annual Obak’s
April Frolic pool tournament will
start promptly at seven thirty.

The Greatest Historian
Of Them All
Homer wove history into his songs. The Pharaohs carved
it in stone. Julius Caesar painstakingly penned it on
papyrus. *
Today, history is written and given to you simultaneously
with its occurence. Every day, the important events of
the world are summed up fully and comprehensively in
your newspaper. You are able to keep abreast of history
in its making.
And not the legist important phase of modern history lies
in the realm of industrial progress. You find this chron
icled in the advertisements.
Advertising is a priceless boon to those who use it prop
erly. It keeps their information up-to-date on the great
variety of things that make life what it is today. It tells
them of the thousand and one things they need in order to
live profitable, happy and useful lives.
The consistent advertiser pays money to tell you about
his wares. He knows they are good—he backs them with
his money because he is confident that they will satisfy.
For only merchandise that is consistently good can be con
sistently advertised.
KEEP UP WITH HISTORY—IT PAYS
