The Alumni Report;
A New Era in “Old Grad” Co-operation
Almost startling in its scope and penetrating good sense is
the Oregon alumni visiting dommittee’s report submitted to
the public last Sunday. After only three day’s visit, he com
mittee has succeeded in turning out a document that gives evi
dence of a thorough insight into the general University situa
tion. Evidently these committee members have made long
and careful study into the subject of their investigation.
To most of the recommendations in the report the Emerald
can only lend a lusty “Amen.” Just run down the list and
check the.items off, each with a hearty “Halleluyah.”
Furthermore, we must bring forth equally lusty hallelu
yahs to the points the committee has omitted in its report.
Tn vain we search for the usual alumni wail, Heaven help
ns the. hello tradition is going to the dogs; where’s that
Oregon fight; the grass isn’t so green as it used to be; the
campus is a bunch of snobs; ” et cetera ad nauseatum. In
place of the trivial the committee has concerned itself with
matters of genuine importance..
If the alumni proceed in their program of co-toperation as
they have started we may expect beneficial and helpful results;
and we in turn will promise to stop ragging the alumni about
sins, which this report has led us to believe, have probably been
manufactured.
The University mourns with the relatives of Loren D. Wills
the untimely death of this brilliant young man who died in
Eugene several days ago. The sli'oick ol. his death has been
somewhat lightened for those that must bear the sorrow by
the belief that his death was caused, not by his own hand,
but through an accident. After looking into the mattei thor
oughly his relatives are convinced that an ether bottle, used
to dispel sleepleness, by some means was tipped over resulting
in the tragedy. Again, to the immediate family of the boy,
we extend our most sincere sympathies.

In n goofy mood on a goofy day
we ran across this goofy revelation
in a California newspaper:
Human body’s just like a radio

California State Board of Health
says so.
Has issued a lot of instructions on
how to avoid static.
Among other things says to uso
wave lengths suited to your age.
In other words, if you wear a toupeo,
have to dye your moustache and both
sets of teeth are made to order,
don’t try and send out young shoik
isli vibrations and expect them to
carry as far as those of a person
of 24.
Battery V your heart, the board
says, and it’s up to you to prevent
it from being short-circuited.
ITso a tooth brush at least twice
a day to keep your loud-speaker
clean. Keep your tubes in order
by not abusing your digestive ap
paratus.
Tuue in with the oxygen out-of-j
doors and don’t keep yourself shut
up in an airtight cabinet.
Refill your batteries often but be]
mire it’s with water. Board also j
»nys to spread out your antennae,
or in other words, to swing your
arms and legs in the air every day.
Board doesn’t mention it, but it
might be better to do this in the:
pirivaev of your own home and not j
try it on the sidewalks and block
traffic.
Anyway that’s what the board.

They’re back from, a glori

Who are? The track team, of
course. Displaying the best
form in years, the Oregonians
never once allowed a California
man to finish last in any event.
The Oregon hurdlers never once
missed hitting a hurdle, and
thereby hung up a Pacific Coast
record. Time after time the
javelin, discus, and shots were
thrown for distances as great as
seven or eight feet. The pole
vaulters always leaped higher
than necessary. Twice they had
so much room to spare that they
caught their chins on the cross
bars. The Oregon dash entrants
usually got in in time to hear
the announcements of the next
event, and the distance men did
almost as well. By simple math
ematics the judges were able
to determine how Oregon would
come out in aq. event by mere
ly knowing how many entrants
there were.
Mary Benton wants to know why
at is that the girls who are always
showing a new wrinkle never grow

And now Web Jones will rise
and tell us what happened to the

I really don’t know
Why I like her so well,
But of one thing I’m certain,
And that’s that I fell
It isn’t the look
She has in her eyes,
And certainly not
Her painted disguise
But wait just a minute,
I think now I know;
She pays her own way
Where ever we go.

Blood Transfusion
Assists Recovery of
Wife of Janitor
The life of a University janitor’s
wife was saved a few days ago
when eight University students of
fered to contribute their blood for
transfusion. The janitor is W. B.
Rivers of the architecture building,
and the three men whose blood was
used to save the woman are H. B.
Rosen, E. A. Koupal and J. Marsh
Browne, all architecture students.
Mrs. Rivers was suffering from
anemia in the Pacific Christian
hospital. She was in a very criti
cal condition. Hope for her life was
nearly abandoned when the students
learned of the case. A group of
them asked permission to help and
three were found whose blood tests
were satisfactory.
Mrs. Rivers is the mother of four
children, one of whom is only ten
days’ old.
“I want to express my deepest
thanks and appreciation for those
men who saved my wife’s life,” de
clared Mr. Rivers. “If I could only
express in words the way I feel I
would be happy. Please write a
story and tell them how much I ap
preciate their wonderful act. You
cannot say too much.”
Since the transfusion Mrs. Rivers
has shown a marked improvement
and it is expected that she will
soon be on the road to recovery.

Submarines with Elevators
When the American people answered
"War” in 1917, no matter was of more
importance than the readjustment of the
great industries to the conditions of war,
and no contribution to national defense
was more exacting than that of the Otis
Elevator Company.
It was a long way from the ordinary
operations of business buildings through
out the country to the North Sea in war
time, yet strangely enough Otis auto
matic leveling or micro-drive elevators
proved one of the most valuable innova
tions in connection with naval warfare.
Up to the time the American Navy
became a factor in the World War, it
had been impossible to lay, in the North
Sea, the contemplated mine barrage,
which it was hoped could be used to pre
vent submarines from skirting the north
end of the British Isles. This had been
impossible, because the time required
to get the mines overboard prevented
successful results. The Otis Elevator
Company cooperated with the American
Navy and provided automatic leveling
elevators for the delivery of the mines
from the hold of the mine layers to the
main deck, where they could be put
overboard at such frequent intervals
as to make the laying of the barrage a
success.
In an article published several years
ago, Captain Belknap, U.S.N., who was
in command of the mine laying squad
ron at the time, stated that in the nine
months or more of operation, in which
sixty thousand mines were handled in
and out, as well as many more in the
course of drills, there was only one
occasion in which any one of the thirty
two elevators was shut down. This was
the fault of the operator, not the elevator,
in that it was run too far up and jammed
there for a few hours, but without
causing any delay in the mine laying
operation.
In war as in peace, the Otis Elevator
has become one of the indispensable
pans of our civilization.
Otis Micro-Drive Elevators, as developed for the mine laying ships and for the
great Army and Navy Bases at New York and Boston, are now in constant use
throughout all parts of the country in office buildings, hotels, department stores,
warehouses, terminals and factories. The automatic leveling feature eliminates
“inching”at the floors, obviates the stumbling hazard in passenger elevators, as well
as saving time in operation, and increasing the life of the apparatus. On freight
elevators it also provides an exactly level landing to facilitate the handling of freight.
