No one contends or believes that a great scourge is coming upon the University from affairs as they stand but many are of the opinion that the situation is serious enough to warrant action in bringing about a better infirmary. Because of insufficient funds no modern University infir mary may be expected for many years. According to Ur. Bovard, in charge of the infirmary, $100,000 is desired to erect a building that will fill the needs of the situation for the pres ent and future times. But in the meantime the University must struggle along with two old residences, the best of which is worth not more than three or four thousand dollars. Since the prospects for a satisfactory arrangement are re mote why does not the University health service make some arrangement with one of the several hospitals in the city to care for the situation? Surely the expense would not be bur densome, and this puttering around with an inadequate infir mary would be at an end. Even if the expense item were con siderable it must be granted that where student health is seri ously endangered monetary expenditure ceases to be an elec tive argument against a change of conditions. Oregon’s Basketball Balloon In Danger of a Puncture Oregon’s basketball hopes and prospects have been inflated to the bursting point. . ,. . The basketball balloon now floats over the Northwest divi sion of the Pacific Coast conference tightly filled and likely to be pricked at any time to flutter down flat. Is Idaho going to be the pin point tonight? That is the question that is worrying both the team followers and Billy Reinhart. The team has changed from a dashing quintet that romped over every obstacle on the northern trip to a rather slow-working, kickless group. The trip told on the squad. We do not know whether it is a slump or not. There has been a momentary—let us hope it is momentary—slowing up in the team. The men have been doing poorly in practice. The great fear of every coach is the slump bug-bear that comes to the best of teams, like a thief in the night as the poets would say, and like the proverbial bat that saps all the dash and fire from the men and ruins the team. A slump comes out of the air and some attribute it to staleness, some to lack of morale, and some to other reasons. Idaho is strong. The biggest men in the conference are on the team, and it is no delicate brand of basketball that the Gem Staters play. It seems that tonight marks the turning point. It’s a diffi cult hurdle that the varsity must leap. The balloon still floats full of the air of popular opinion. But watch the Idaho pin point!—W. A. J. Oregon Scoops the World On Basketball Coaches Perhaps those who have been heaving bricks at the execu tive council for seating arrangements and kindred sins will repent upon learning that basketball coach Billie Reinhart has been signed up for five years. The executive council might have gone to sleep and let someone else run away with Rein hart—but it didn’t. As a result Oregon’s basketball prospects for the next five years appear bright as bright can be. Reinhart’s selection will prove immensely popular with everyone interested in Oregon’s athletics. Reinhart is a splen did coach, a fine sportsman, a sincere worker, and a good man to count among one’s friends or acquaintances. A motion introduced at faculty meeting yesterday by A. E. Caswell, professor of physics, suggests that transfers from other colleges be not admitted to the University of Oregon un less eligible to return to the institution from which they came. This motion, it may be assumed, will find favor with the ma jority of the faculty. Flankers from neighboring colleges under that riding, would not find admittance to Oregon, and the Uni versity would be that much better off. I)r. J. II. Gilbert, acting dean of the college, introduced a motion to exempt students of marked ability from taking the required year of English after the first term. Considering the press of finances under which the English department is known to be laboring it would seem reasonable that unneces sary burdens should not be carried by that department. Four day examinations are to be tried out. The change is ouly an experiment and is perhaps worth trying, but one fails to see the wisdom of the plan. Three days is long enough for examinations if the student is prepared. Four day examina tions mean another day wasted. Phi Bets and Sigma Xi’s should be exempt from finals, is an other motion. Is this a temptation or a reward? Slightly rem iniscent of the days when we were given all day suckers for being good for ten days. Perhaps it’s a consolation for being branded a student.

IT MIGHT RAIN. PAGING MR. SUNDAY! I Bob Heitkemper is ready to take the pledge, and is only , awaiting an evangelist. Yester day he went into a confection ery and tossed off a Green Biver. Then, he says, Thir teenth street threw trees and things at him all the way down town. # * * The Portland News defines atn; optimist as a garter salesman on | the Oregon campus. How about a: W. C. T. TJ. publicity agent in the 1 office of the News? * » * SEERS NATIVE NEW ZEAIiANDERS It used to be the opinion of The Seers that Americans were not half bad, and although we are assembled here from all parts of the universe, we, like Jim the Chameleon next door to us, can change color as well as ideas as much as is desired. But, after reading the retort of Prof. Howe in yesterday’s communication column, where he says: "Meanwhile, let us hope, Mr. Graham and others he refers to will wait with the good nature Americans usually show in the face of unadvoid able discomf ortSL ” Our faith is shaken. If during a game Americans are willing to be made to sit under cover while the women sit out in the open exposed to the elements with out making a complaint in the name of good manners, and if they meekly allow themselves to be herded and goaded like so many beef without having their red blood affected—well, then the Seers were born and reared in New Zealand. G. Hosafat, our wise and ven erable Brother, has always said that women aren’t worth much. But the Tokolo bos are arising in a mighty crowd (with the aid of their new pledges), call ing together the Grako club and the Kwarna and Thespians i to uphold them in their state ment that women are worth 6c. They will attempt to prove this queer, exaggerated idea Sat 1 urday afternoon at the Campa Shoppe, and all those men (and women) anxious to see the the ory put to test, and also hear good music and get in trim for the Senior Ball, are invited freo. o * * * THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT The humorous monologues that the Alpha Delta Sigma plagues put out cm the libo steps yesterday al most convinces us that we’d better pledge them to the Seers while they ‘still feel that way. • * *••*»•#***• * FAMOUS LAST WORDS * * ‘‘Gimme your hand. I want * * you to feel my jaw and see if * * it isn't swollen a little.” * FRIDAY AT LAST! OLAF DARNU. GjiiedJliamrlrim BY JIM We tried to get the meat of the controversy carried on between Tom Graham and H. C. Howe, but the “meat” was lost in too much hide, (weak pun) The writer once had the good fortune to listen in on a negro crap-shooting party. The im pressionistic words flying about gives us the present inspiration. An evening among the high brows, yes, indeed, in .the bossom of the Critics and Criticised Club! And a dinner— a pan roast—everything on the pan and everybody roasted. “Wham! six-sided charcoals, Charleston me an eight-spot. An’ Ah wins de ’pointment by a six deuce lots. Ah lets it lay.” The opening lines of “The Econo Mummies of Egypt” or “Who Pre served the Melon?” produced last night and yesterday by the Critics and Criticised Club, A. S. U. O.’a famous aggregation of intellectuals, will indicate to the proletariat what it is like to sit for an even ing among the high brows. The scene is in the throne room of Managress Black Jenefiel. You are entitled to one guess on that. Correct. There are other disting uished persons on the program. Em peror Horatius Causis Howis and ■dAch-Critic Thomasses Flayem. Two more guesses. You are right again. An ebony satellite of the Manag ress, continuing the dialogue, says, “What’s dis economy hokum de ol’ skeeziks is so nuts on?” A black diamond in the rough re plies, “It’s a diease—a disease what makes yoh save ebberytin,’ by not spendin’ nothin,’ not goin’ no whah an’ not bein’ nobody.” There’s a plot, tricky but not in tricate. Loud Speaker S. S. Mil derman has announced his inten tion of supporting the Managress these few next terms. Enter the Managress Jenefile sing ing. Economy, economy, • “Save 12 million” was the bait That fooled my fool electorate; Economy, economy, I am Egypt’s queen of E-con-o-mee. A conversation ensues between Managress Jenefiel and Emperor Howsis in regard to the signing of some endorsements. A line or two will indicate the trend: Howsis—Motion 1492, to provide hot-air cushions for the assembly; introduced by Talent Tubbs. Managress — Let every Tubb stand on his own feet. Dinged! Howsis—Motion 1776, to buy— Managress—That’s enough! I’d wing that with my eyes shut. By what vote was it passed? Howsis—By the unanimous vote of the executive council. Managress — Terrible! That’s enough to condemn any motion. Again the Managress breaks forth in song: “Whatever costs a dollar, What the duece do I care if The students raise a holler? I’m Mangr’ess of this eollitch Only I know right froqi wrong; The A. S. U. O. ’s a bunch of dubs I'm the guy that rings the gong. Tho skit was written by Arch Critic Flayem. At this point Em peror Horatio Howsis spirings from the audience shouting “Taint So!” And at this point also we sacrifice the column to the printer and see if this is going to fit. ' Editorially Clipped ■o-—---^ One fallacy of present day stu dent self-government at O. A. C. is the failure to give the student body president just compensation. The honor and fame attached to the office cannot be considered ade quate remuneration. Fame is evan escent and the idols of yesterday are the forgotten of today. The president bears heavy re sponsibilities" in connection with his position—he is the convenient one to blame for everything that goes ■wrong. All this time he is doing , much to make the college known elsewhere. I .Colleges and universities on the | coast are not making a practice ; of paying their student presidents, although there is agitation on the campus at the University of Oregon to establish a salary for the presi dent of the A. 8. U. O. Time is sacrificed, studies .'are neglected and responsibilities are I -: born by the student president. AI high order of executive ability is J required to carry out successfully the duties of the office. In life outside college it is impossible to get men of marked executive abili- j ty without paying accordingly. In all fairness to the man who gives up his time and energy to benefit his school it is only right that he receive some payment.—(O. A. C. Barometer.

STETSON HATS Styled for young men WADE BROS. EXCLUSIVE STETSON DEALERS EUGENE - “ — — -* ri n m Oro) m C2£Sr;7 'comments cri >— 22vgeq.e-ffhon DEAREST ANNE: The same ol’ line in this let- ! ter except that the facts are I changed—you must think we I shop all the time down here, j Several big events are cotming : off this week-end. The Senior 1 Ball, a wonderful affair, so the I plans go, and the basketball I game with Idaho! You know are at the top of the list basketball, don’t you? I’m tending to blossom out in my new sprihg sport coat of plaid flannel, you will love it. It came from Wetherbee-Dens fnore’s and is the most beautiful combination of dull brown and burnt orange. Then to wear with this coat as a true finishing touch, I bought a soft silk sport hat from Letitia Abrams who is in the ’ ’ cony of Wetherbee-Densmc store. The hat is a soft tan stitched in darker browbs looks just marvelous with my coat. You have to admit we have the system alright. Tonight is Greta’s birthday so we, Bneaninj the room mates, decided to giv' her a box of Johnstone choco lates. Do you see my prefer ence for candy shine there? We got them at the Eugene Drug Store next door to the McDon ald and we certainly are going to help her eat' them. We are going to give a little tea in our room as a celebration for the ol ’ dear and we stopped in at Raup’s for flowers and simply fell for their red tulips. They are potted and will remain fresh for a long time. # * * The good old allowance came in yesterday and I went right down to the Little Shop Around the Comer and bought the most adorable toast and tea set. In stead of individual cups and saucers they are in one piece and can be used also for ice cream and wafers or sandwiches and coffee. We plan to use these for our tea. I told you liow thrilled I was tit being elected to that honor ary fraternity. Well, to make it all the more interesting, they’re having an initiation banquet at The Anchorage in one of its rooms that is let especially for such purposes and private par ties. That’s the best place to eat because the food is always Jiame cooked. * * * I can’t seem to keep away from Hasting’s Sisters. Yester day, I had an electric scalp treatment from them which helps greatly the condition of one’s scalp. They also give rnhnge shampoos for dandruff. * • • Saw Jane Smith the other day for the first time since the be ginning of the term. She looked so cute and had one of the lat est hair cuts — an all over shingle. Said she got at the Co-Ed Barber Shop, just back of the Co-op * * * Jane had a clever coin purse of brocaded Chinese silk, and I wanted one so badly that I fin ally asked her where she got it. It was the Aladdin Gift Ware Shop and they have the dearest eard eases and bone paper knives too. Good-by, dear Anne, until Washington’s birthday when I shall see you again. CAKOL.
