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

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.

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.

The state legislators have agreed
to pay themselves $8 a day for this

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?
