The time is extended to May 10 for the benefit of any prospective competitors who have been too busy to begin work before the spring term. The essays are to approximate 5,000 words.

In this contest the essays are to deal with some subject under the gene ral head of the principles of free government. One prize of $20 is offered.

Mauti Gives Flans Ttob Mautz, director of the drive, outlined the working procedure, and gave complete instructions to all workers. The hanqquet was directed by Maude Schroeder. Everything wont off exactly right, from the fruit cocktails to the ice cream and coffee. The whole rousing affair was a fitting send-off for the great cam paign which will burst upon the campus tom^frow. STUDENTS COMPUTING LOCATION OF CAMPUS Certain University men have re cently been noticed out on Kincaid field, directiv west of the adminis tration building, star gating. Some interested souls have wondered, and nerhaps worried over their seem ingly unconventional antics, os peciallv during the daytime. The explanation for the whole procedure has been made by Professor E. II. McAlister, of the astronomy and mathematics departments. The class in practical astronomy has been determining recently the latitude of a certain point on the campus. They are also going to determine the meridian of the same spot. After doing so they will give their statistics to the class in sur veying who will figure out the ex act location of the campus. The work which the class in prac tical astronomy is doing at pres ent is being carried on through ob servation of the sun. They will later do the same work with eer tain stars as guides.

CADETS GOING TO CAMP^ WILL BE INNOGULATED Government Rule Requires Protective Measures Arrangements have been com pleted with the University health service for the vaccination of the 32 men who will attend the R. O. T. C. summor camp, to be held at Camp Lewis, Washington, June 13, to July 23, according to Captain Frank L. Culin, executive officer of the local R. O. T. C. department. Schedules are being made up at the present time, and the men will report each week-end, beginning on Friday, May 1. Each man must be innoculated throe times, at inter vals of about one week, provided the vaccination is successful if not, until the serum has taken ef fect. Of the 32 cadets, 10 will be in noeulated for smallpox, while the entire group will be treated with antitoxin for typhoid and para typhoid. Innoculations for all of these may be taken at the same time, the smallpox serum usually taking effect before the typhoid antitoxin acts. All cadets attending it. U. i. or 0. M. T. C. summer training camps are required by the War de partment to submit to this innocil lation, anyone failing to do so be ing treated upon arrival at the camp. Use of the serum has been very successful in army circles. During the Spanish-Ameriean war, before the serum was in use, the mortality from typhoid fever was high, but with its extensive use during the recent World war, deaths from typhoid were almost unknown. Dr. Fred Miller, of the Univer sity health service, wijl | have charge of innoculatlon of the ca dets. ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUBS TO MAKE TOUR The members of the University men’s and women’s glee clubs and orchestra will leave at 12:45 p. m. today on a special train for Salem, where they will give a combined concert tonight at the Grand thea ter. They will leave Salem at 9 a. m. tomorrow morning for Fort laud, and will render the same concert at the Heilig theatre in the evening. The combining of the three or ganizations is an entirely new fea ture of this year’s trip. .Hereto fore the two glee clubs and orches tra have separate trips to various parts of the state. A great deal of interest is being manifested in both Salem and Portland over the concerts, and from the latest re ports of the business manager a full house will be met in both cities. Student Union Pledges Must Wear Badges All students -who subscribed to the Student Union fund last year, should wear pledge rib bons during the present cam paign. This request is made by the executive committee of the Student Union drive, as it wUl materially lighten the work of the committee workers. These ribbons can be secured at the “Old Pledges” window of the Student Union shack across from the Ubrary, any time Thursday or Friday, and the wearers will be saved the embarrassment of being con stantly soUcited. Student Union Poetry Makes Oregon Famous In Drive for $64,000 (Continued from page one) stuff; fits right in with my idea of what an upright, virtuous college should be. Besides it upholds our best American ideals and tradi tions. This is intended to be a Phillipic against poets. H. L. MENCKEN, Ph. D. There was a young man from Mon tant As bright as a nice new banana He hated all poets Let everyone know it And now he’s a hero, Urbanal E. B. (Editor’s note: Elizabeth Browning.) Dear Miss Skathing: I feel very penitent that I con demned your poetry to the bottom less depths of peridition, and to atone for the heinous crime of in terfering with poetry a la Under wood I hereby send in a check to the Student Union campaign fund for $100. Hoping that his public recogni tion of the fact that I have never written a short story, never taken an hour of journalism or art, never given birth to a single line of po etry will set me right with the po ets and the Student Union, I am Regretfully, FREDERICK THE FIRST. Mr Student Union Editor: I certainly think that the Univer sity needs a Student Union, if for no other reason than to lock up these followers of vers libre, who are making our worthy Emerald the joke of the poetical world. Will there be a typewritten-proof room in the student union building in which to incarcerate poets and writers of communications? EMBERSON B. RIGHT. Poetry Editor: I object to the whole idea of a Student Union. It is un-American. Everyone knows that most of the Oregon students are poets, so why have a building where ,qn^r ^gen iuses will be cooped up, separated from the cosmological mysteries which inspire our best verse about God-like laundrymen. Everybody knows the poets need the air, any way. ROBERT VIRGINIA LEE. All hall to the Union, There’s nothing quite so grand. Including all the poetry, Although it I cannot understand. LUX-BOUNTIFUL For those who have conceptions Of soap enough to wash the world, A Student Union would fit in nice, As a place to meet a brother squirrel. WHOOPEE E All Hail!

T. 0. department, who has been absent on extended leave since February 7, returned to Eugene last Saturday, and will re sume his duties at the department immediately. ' Lieutenant Arnold was granted leave of absence that he might enter the Letterman general hospital, San Francisco, for treatment of an ail ment of the teeth. While in the hospital Lieutenant Arnold under went four different operations, per formed at intervals of froim 10 days 'to two weeks. The treatment is known as the Radical treatment for pyorrhea, and consists of operations over an extended period of time, to jremove the affected parts at the base of the teeth. 1 The treatment necessitated his confinement in hospital for about one-half of the time, during which time he was given hourly treat ments, and was allowed to talk or 'eat scarcely at all. The remainder of the time he spent in playing golf and enjoying the California sun shine. The lieutenant also renewed old acquaintanceship with several /of his classmates from the Annap olis Naval Academy, where he spent 1 some time in 1915. One of these men is now in command of the “Langley,” the largest airplane carrier-ship in the United States navy. The “Langley” was with the fleet at San Francisco in the earlv part of April. Before returning to Eugene Lieu etnant Arnold took the army air service examination at Crissey field, California. The tests, which is offi cially known as the “609 Examina tion,” consists of a series of rigid physical tests, including those of eyesight, and an equilibrium test, in which the candidate is whirled, end over end, in a specially constructed machine. Lieutenant Arnold has re ceived no report as to. the outcome of the examination as yet, but if successful he will endeavor to secure a transfer to the army air service. BASEBALL PRACTICE EXTENDED ONE WEEK Another week of practice can be had by the various title aspirants in the doughnut baseball league, ac cording to Virgil Earl, who is in charge. The opening encounter will be postponed until next Wednes day, he states, because the varsity and freshmen will be using the cemetery ridge diamond, until the new field is dry enough for prac tice. Rainy weather delayed the games last week, and now the lack of playing space causes another in terruption. This postponement cannot be helped, said Earl, as the varsity needs all the training pos sible before the opening game Fri day. These same prevailing conditions may cause further delays, but if the weather permits the use of the new diamond the games will be played as scheduled, starting Wed nesday.
