Students Who Desire Extra
Curricular Work Number
72 per cent of University
Committee Receives Aidi of
Prof. Howard R. Taylor in
Compilation of Statistics
Seventy-two per cent of the stu
dents on the University of Oregon
campus are interested in student
activities, indicated by statistics
compiled by the activities commit
tee from the questionnaires filled
out by the students at registration
this term.
Of the 2,584 students who regis
tered, 1,808 indicated interest in
activities, and 076 signified they
Were uninterested. It is also in
teresting to note that, of this num
ber, the greater interest in student
activities seems to be among stu
dents in organizations rather than
among those who are unattached.
A great deal of work has been
done on this work by the activities
committee, composed of Esther Set
ters and Paul Agor. They wore
assisted in compiling the statistics
by the Thespians, freshman wom
en’s organization.
Psychologist Assists
Prof. Howard It. Taylor, of the
psychology department, who has
been helping the committee with
this work, is very much interested
in the project and expects it to
prove very valuable in the future,
if it is followed up with earnest ef
fort.
“The studont body is very act
ive” said Professor Taylor, “and
lias many undertakings under way.
In addition to this tho student body
is anxious to inereaso its efficien
cy, and I believo that they aro on
the right track.”
Of course, preferences do not in
dicate how well tho individual can
work, ho pointed out. The next
step in this work is to find out just
how much it does show.
“Undoubtedly there is a lot of
value in the training students get
in carrying on actiyities,” Profes
sor Taylor said, “Such a registra
tion is a gesture, a movement in tho
direction to givo opportunities to
those best fitted for it. I think it
one of the most important move
ments in education at the present
time. It is a movement to give
people training, not in the ordinary
fashion, but along lines in which
they are most capable, with tho
idea of improving efficiency where
they have the largest opportunity.”

comfortable nor sanitary. The
house is poorly ventilated, and as
one student expressed it, “Wo al
most have to freeze to death to get
fresh air to breathe.” The patients
are crowded throughout the lower
floor, even the kitchen being used.
The upstairs part of the house can
not be put into use because of the
lack of heating facilities.
One Case Reported Yesterday
With only one additional case re
ceived yesterday, Dr. Fred N. Mill
er, University physician, was hope
ful that the peak of the epidemic
had passed.
“The infirmary is not even a
good ward and we should not keep
men there,” he said. “If the Uni
versity is going to do what it says
in its catalog, take caro of the sick
students and isolate contagious
cases, it should have a good infirm
ary with all the facilities necessary
to do these things.
“We have tried to make the in
i firmarv as agreeable as possible
and have tried to retain the stu
dents ’ goodwill, but we admit that
conditions are far from what they
should be.”
With a diphtheria patient quar
antined in one of the rooms of the
newer building, space has been fur

As a precaution, members of the

ENGLISH REQUIREMENT
MOTION IS EXPLAINED
The motion proposed by Dr. J. H.
Gilbert, acting dean of the Univer
sity, at the last faculty meeting,
that freshmen students showing ef
ficiency in the required year of
English should be exempt from tak
ing it after the first term, would
not debar them from taking up
other English work or continue that
course if they cared for it, said
Dr. Gilbert yesterday. “In other
words,” he said, “it is permissible
but not mandatory.”
The departments in the school
believe that this English require
ment takes time that could be used
to a better advantage in specializ

If passed, the measure will go

requirement would be made on a

This giant hydro-electric unit weighs 750 tons and consists of a vertical shaft
hydraulic turbine attached to an electric generator delivering 52.000 kilowatts
at 12,000 \ oIts.
Bigger Generators—
Cheaper 'Electricity
A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electric unit recently installed at
Niagara Falls utilizes the same amount of water as seven
former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen
such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the
nation. ,
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger
and more economical generators are installed. At the power
plant, as well as at the consumer’s end, important changes and
startling developments have steadily reduced the cost of
electricity for light, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity has blazed its trail—in towns, cities,
industrial centers, and rural communities—comfort and progress
have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical
student. But electricity’s application in the betterment of
industry, the professions, and home life concerns every edu
cated person. Cheap electricity means many startling achieve
ments today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities
tomorrow.
