general subject of good * relations
between the United States and the
countries of the Orient, were to
be in the hands of the committee
by May 1. 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.
First prize in this contest, the
committee announces, is to bo $100;
second, $65; third, $35. Thus far
there are only five known contest
ants.
Bennett Contest Open
The time limit on receiving es
says in the Philo Sherman Bennett
contest was extended to May 15. 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. Thus far no one has sig
nified a desire to participate in the
contest this year. The committee
is hoping there may yet be some
competition. Last year the Ben
net prize was won by W. Arthur
Bosebraugh, now at Oxford ns the
Oregon Rhodes scholar. The War
ner prize was won by Ted Kurash
ige, who, having graduated in law,
is now practicing in Pearl City,

all workers.
The hanqquet was directed by

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

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

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

Let their ire meet with all desire.
And they may twirl their Jr inky

In the big new building over there.

LIEUTENANT ARNOLD
RETURNS TO CAMPUS
Radical Treatment Taken
For Tenth Ailment
Lieutenant E. G. Arnold of the
University R. O. 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.
