Another Draught From The Old Hokum Bucket REJOICE, ye movie fans! No longer need you be in doubt regarding matters of campus eti quette. “The Collegians” are with 11 s. Undergraduate committees haven’t any corner on investigation of the mores of the homo eampiensis. i At least Carl Laemmle thinks so. Witness the results of a brilliant bit of research displayed at a local movie house lust week-end. Young Tom Smith—or maybe it was young Dick Browrn—, clean cut, square-jawed, clear-eyed, frank-open-, countenanced, 100 per cent, athletic ally virile freshman at Snookums university—or was it Cal ford?—- j stood gazing morosely at the happy | throng of one-piece bathing-suited co-eds who swarmed on the banks of the inevitable campus millrace,—or was it a lake? It was the day of the frosh-soph canoe tilt and only last night the coach had disbarred him, the sole hope of the class of Umpty-ump, be cause his hated enemy, Charles Changleworm,-—or was it Strangle worm?—sophomore and rival for the affoctions of Pansy Pett, cam pus belle, had planted an empty whiskey bottle in the pocket of his borrowed tuxedo. Things looked dark indeed for young Tom Smith—or was it Dick Brown?—and the class of Umpty ump. Black despair, blacker, even, than is customary in such cases, surged through the heart of our hero. And then as a final smudge on his spirits, whom should lie see walking together but Pansy and the evil Charles!! Charles was dressed for the tilt and cruelly he taunted Tom for his disbarment; but fleraniunv— oh no, it was Pansy, wasn’t it— dear child, was all sympathy. “Never mind,” she cooed, “these troitbles are just the freshman’s burden, the first great character builder of college life.” That’s a new one. But it must be true, for no less person that Mr. Carl Laemmle himself vouches for it. No doubt the successful produc or, if questioned categorically re garding his theory, would probably answer in the following manner: Small, green hats, he would no doubt maintain, prevent any unto ward big-headedness. Paddles are worthy because of their stiffening effect upon the backbone, while cold water at all times dampens any unnecessary evil spirit. Bully for Mr. Laemmle. What ever the results, his intentions were doubtless of the best. “—The first great character build er—!” We must admit Mr. Laemmle is an idealist. H. A. An Immediate Need; A New Infirmary WHILE the University’s appro priations hang in the legis lative balance, the two old houses that serve as the campus infirmary and annex are crowded to capacity, and dozens of students are being denied necessary medical attention because of lack of hospital space. As a result, an epidemic of gTippe is spreading over the campus. Health authorities are hindered in efforts to check the spread of illness be cause of the absence of isolation facilities. This is not a new situation. It is merely a repetition of the situa tion of the past several years. Each winter witnesses an epidemic of in fluenza, and each time the limited infirmary facilities prevent effective treatment. If an epidemic of illness more contagoous than grippe visits the campus, as was the ease with mumps last year, the situation be comes especially dangerous. It seems altogether ridiculous that the University must seek an infirm ary through the same means as it would an ornamental arch. Student health is after all a rather serious matter, and the University might ns well cease its activities while half of its students are too ill to come to classes, and many of the others are too ill to be able to do any real work. It should not be necessary that a deadly epidemic sweep the campus before those who hold the purse strings try to effect a cure. We are sure that one inspection of the Uni versity’s infirmary would convince skeptics that if any measures before the legislature may be classed as “emergencies,” that which concerns funds for an adequate university in firmary is certainly one of that group. Swimming (Contimu'*! from page one) for a new pool record when George | Horsfall of the club finished in i The present Northwest mark of 2:48.8 wan made by Horsfall in ! the MultnomahOregon competition j in Portland two weeks ago. A new tank record for the relay , algo was established when the Winged M four won that race in t:23.1. The old mark was 1:25.0. Aggies to Coine The meet brought out the in creased popularity which has lately been accorded the water sport. Al though the team was conceded little chance of a victory, and although the seating capacity of the pool was recently doubled b\ the addition of temporary bleachers, the pool was crowded to capacity ten minutes be fore the meet began and almost as many were turned away as gained entrance. It is hoped that further -eating facilities will be provided by February 26, when the Aggie var sity and frosh squads meet the two Oregon aggregations. Complete results of the meet fol low : 40 yard free style: Thomas (M), first; Bushnell (M), second; Greu lich, (O), third. 150 yard backstroke: Smith (0), Bushnell (M), Kier (O). 220 yards free style: Schroth (Ml.

HALL OF FAME Abdul Cheeswhiffer, Who has the honor of being the last Oregon stu dent to pay his fees. He is not ma joring in anything and his father is the only professor who cannot show a Phi Bete key (he lost it), and the only one never to have been kicked off a faculty. Also his dad discovered a method of dyeing skippers on cheese so they resemble a rainbow while jumping around. Abdul registered from Bend so is paying a non-resident fee as well as facing the embarassment of be ing a foreigner. He is a member of “Nail & File,’’ national manicuring honorary fraternity. TWO’S COMPANY, THREE’S A FRATERNITY. Helen Wills is becoming too fat to play championship tennis, says a current news dispatch. Evidently she does not know the secret of eating crackers and dark bread as well as do her sister Kappas on this campus. And speaking of Helen Wills, Prof. Howe has gone her just one better. He wears her eye shade at basketball games. EMBARASHING MOMENTS When you walk up to the library and absent-mindedly ask for a tow el arid locker. The other day in Chicago a. man escaped the fire of three shotguns and two revolvers. That ought to be a lesson to those gangsters. The next 1 ime they want to kill a man they’ll bring along enough guns. The University of Oregon is a wonder college. Everyone wonders who is going to be the next profes sor or student to get kicked out. K. R. J. MOST OF ITS ARE BOTHERED WITH NOSES WHICH ARE DO ING WHAT OITR FEET ARE SUP POSED TO DO. The state legislators have agreed to pay themselves $8 a day for this session. Each one of theini thinks he must now bring up all the fool bills he can possibly think of in order to earn his salary.

Some committee should start in vestigating the food stands around the entrances to the campus. It is beginning to resemble a carnival or circus'—Maybe it is. Greatest show earth including such specimens as Phi Betes, professors,.flunkers, and infirmary nurses. Swing right up and get in step with the band. What would the University do with a new infirmary unless we had some doctors and nurses to put in it who were passed their experimen tal stage? R. G.
