Paralysis Peril
Not Great, Says
Dr. F. N. Miller
Infirmary Has Serum on
Hand for Student
Treatment
Dr. Fred N. Miller, University phy
sician, in a statement issued yester
day, says that the infantile paraly
sis situation in Lane eounty is no
cause for the students to become
alarmed, since the infirmary and
dispensary have taken every precau
tion to prevent the disease from
spreading to the campus. If any
cases does break out, it will
promptly be isolated, says Dr.
Miller. His statement follows:
“To the Students: At the pres
ent time there are a few cases of
infantile paralysis in Eugene. The
University health service feels very
definitely that there is no cause for
alarm especially since the disease
is much more common in children of
pre-school age.
“According to the Oregon State
Board of Health, 95 per cent of
cases occur in individuals in the
first 10 years of life. However,
some cases have occurred through
out the state in adults. About a
month ago we made arrangements
with a local pharmacist to get some
serum if necessary, and ascertained
that he kept a large supply on
hand, whieh is always available.
Since then some serum has been
purchased and is on hand at the
University infirmary. It is not ex
pected that this will be needed, but
it is comforting to know that if the
necessity for its use does arise there
will be no delay in its administra
tion.
“The two questions we have been
asked most frequently are, ‘What
can I do to prevent getting the
disease?’ and ‘What are the symp
toms?’ Fortunately the disease is
not highly contagious—that is, there
are rarely large numbers in any one
group who become affected. In gen
eral, however, the avoidance of
crowds, especially of assemblies
where there are many children, is
wise, and it is more important than
ever that each individual guard his
coughs and sneezes. The use of
gargles and sprays as a protective
measure is probably of no value.
Much may b» done if all students
who have a slight cold or feel any
indisposition will report to the dis
pensary. If this is done, students
need not bother about the answer to
the question, ‘What are the symp
toms?’ because then they will be
sure to be under medieal care as
soon as diagnosis is possible.
“If any case should occur it will
be isolated immediately in the in
firmary annex away from all other
students, and special nurses as
needed will be secured. So far there
has not been a single case among
the students in whieh there was
present the symptoms of the onset
of the disease. This statement is
issued merely to answer some ques
tions that have been asked us and
to show that we feel definitely that
there is no cause for alarm, but that
we have, nevertheless, prepared for
an emergency which we do not an
ticipate.
“DR. FRED N. MILLER.”
Zane Commissioned
To Direct Decoration
Of Jewish Synagogue
Nowland B. Zane, assistant pro
fessor of architecture and allied
arts of the University of Oregon,
has been commissioned to direct the
interior coloration of the new Jew
ish synagogue in Portland, Temple
Beth Israel. This Hebrew temple is
being erected by the architects,
Whitehouse and Brookman, at Flan
ders, Nineteenth, and Glisan streets,
and according to Mr. Zane, is of
significance because of its excep
tional architectural interest, in ad
dition to the fact that it stands for
the center of the Jewish faith in
Portland.
“The decoration involves a great
many details of interior architec
ture, from the stained glass of the
dome, through the walls with their
panels, moldings, and decorations in
relief, to the floor.
“The general effect of tne inter
ior,” he continued, “is planned to
be something akin to the richness
of ancient Bizantine churches in
which carefully studied proportions
of rich colors are placed here and
three for the best effect.
“Conspicuous among the special
details of decorative interest are
the circular medallions in relief that
enrich the front walls and the sof
fits of the several large arches that

divide the interior on an octagonal
plan. These medallions are rich in
the symbolism of the faith, and in
volve particular care in their treat
ment.”
Mr. Zane is obliged to make oc
casional visits to Portland to keep
in touch with the constructional
progress of the interior of the
church. He is preparing a series of
color sketches in order that the
painting contractor may proceed
with his responsibilities in carrying
out the decorative scheme. The pres
ent stage of the work is the prep
aration of such color sketches based
upon a careful study of the archi
tect’s blue prints.
It is believed by Mr. Zane that
his problem is one of exceptional
interest in the decorator’s field. He
says that be keenly enjoys the dif
ferent phases of research and color
harmonies as they relate to the com
pleted beauty of the creation.
University Men
And Women Are
‘On Their Own’
More Graduate Students
Are Self-Supporting,
Report Shows
Approximately three-fourths of
the students of the University of
Oregon are wholly or partly self
supporting, it is announced by Earl
M. Pallett, registrar. Figures just
compiled for this term show that
only 813 out of 2849 enrolled on
the Eugane campus depend upon
their parents for entire support.
Figures for the Medical school,
Portland, and other extension cen
ters, and correspondence students
are not available, but it is believed
that nearly all of these make all or
nearly all of their own living.
The number of men who are self
supporting is much greater than the
number of women, and out of a
total of 1546 men only 151 do not
earn all or part of their way. The
number of men who are entirely “on
their own” is 560, more than one
third of the enrollment. Women
who are entirely self-supporting
number 172, or 13 per cent 'of the
total of women.
The percentage is believed to be
slightly greater in favor of self
supporting students than these fig
ures show, since 366 students did
not state whether or not they were
self-supporting on their cards.
“The fact that 107 senior men
out of 242 and 51 senior women out
of 232 are wholly self-supporting
indicates that students who must
make their own way in life realize
the value of university training
enough to actually earn it at a
sacrifice,” points out Mr. Pallett.
“It is also significant to note that
out of the total of 242, only 14
men of the senior class are depend
ent wholly upon others for support.”
Men taking graduate work show
an even higher percentage of self
support, since 36 of the 54 are
wholly self-supporting, and only one
is dependent upon others for his
entire fund.
High Schools Enter
Oregon Debate League
Many high schools are enrolling
in the Oregon High School Debating
League, announced Dan E. Clark,
secretary of the league. About 80
schools are expected to join by the
middle of December when the time
limit for entering is up.
Oregon is divided into eleven dis
tricts. The district debates will
take place soon after the Christmas
holidays. The district champions
.will debate and the winners of the
inter-district debates will vie for
supremacy at the University of Ore
gon in May.

Oregon Professor Finds Germany
Most Friendly Land to Americans
Country Thriving; No Desire to Return to Military
Government, Says Dr. Earl Griggs
“The most wholesome welcome we
experienced during our travels on
the continent was in Germany,’* de
clared Dr. Earl L. Griggs, assistant
professor of English, who has been
studying for the past two years at
University College, London.
Mr. Griggs visited Germany under
the auspices of an international
union of students, which seeks to
acquaint students of different na
tions. The organization often ar
ranges group tours of foreign coun
tries, where the young people stay
as paying guests of the University
students there. Dr. Griggs traveled
in France and Italy as a member
of these groups.
At his departure for Germany, a
vice-president of the German stu
dents presented him and his wife
with a card on which was enscribed
in German, “Welcome these stu
dents.”
* Dr. Griggs presented the card
first at the University of Berlin.
It worked like a charm. They were
welcomed most heartily, and a Ger
man student who spoke English im
mediately took them in hand and
showed the couple about Berlin.
“The Germans continued their*
study of English and French during
the war,” said Griggs. “Hence
they are much more advancfed than
we. We were ftften ashamed of our
German, and had sometimes to talk
in French.”
The student card was used in
Leipsig, Jena, and Munich with the
same success as in Berlin. Germans
made a particular effort to be nice
to the Americans, said the profes
sor.
Once, by mistake, he found him
self in a compartment of a German
train reserved for wounded soldiers.
They proved the most friendly of
the Germans, discussing the world
situation freely and making the
Americana feel at home. They held
no prejudices against the United
States because of the World War.
“The one name we found it best
not Jo mention was that of Wood
row Wilson,” declared Griggs.
“The Germans have a tendency
to feel that they didn’t lose the
war, that there was no military de
feat, but threatened starvation.
They looked upon Wilson as the
greatest idealist in the world, and
expected in surrendering their arms
to gel an ideal peace from him.
“They feel that such a peace was
not granted, that Wilson betrayed1
them into the hands of their
enemies.”
Dr. Griggs observed that the Ger
man students think that their coun
try was no more responsible as a
nation for the war than was any
other country. They condemn the
Kaiser as pig-headed and believe he
involved them in disgrace as well
as in war. There is little love for
the Kaiser among the German stu
dents.
“But Germany is ready to forget
the war, and she is recovering from
}ts effects better than any other
European nation. Her factories are
everywhere busy. The mark is now
norma], and the country is rapidly
regaining her pre-war time suprem
acy in commerce,” he continued.
“There is some doubt among the
students there about the success of
democracy. They are also concerned
over the present conditions of Rus
sia. Germany believes that Russia,
if she continues in her present poli
cies, will involve Europe in war.
Their country being practically un
armed they fear will suffer as the
battleground unless more armament
can be arranged. There is no dd
sire, however, to go back to a mili
tary government” concluded Dr.
Griggs.

walls of the Memorial tower are in

A rugby game was also played,
and between halves a score of men

Bailey Willis, Noted
Geologist, Will Give
Illustrated Lecture
Beginning a series of special lec
tures to be given under the aus
pices of the Condon club this year,
Dr. Bailey Willis, president of the
Seismological Society of America
and one of the leading authorities in
the world on the subject of earth
quakes, will speak in Villard hall on
November 22. Mr. Willis will illus
trate his many journeys through the
earthquake belts of the world with
colored slides and possibly motion
pictures.
Mr. Willis was for three years
chief geologist in the U. S. Geologi
cal Survey which is the largest re
search organization in the world. He
spent three years in Patagonia for
the Argentine government besides
conducting researches in the complex
fault system of the Andes and head
ing geological expeditions into
western China for the Carnegie In
stitute. He has just concluded a
world-tour during which ho was
delegate to the Third Pan-Pacific
Scientific Congress in Tokio.
This is the first attempt of the
Condon club to sponsor the more
serious side of geology for the gen
eral public. Willis with his excep
tional ability to popularize geology
in his lectures which he heightens
by anecdotes gleaned from his ad
ventures and colorful career, has
put him in great demand as a speak
er by many learned societies
throughout the world. Dr. Warren
D. Smith, who is to be his host dur
ing his sojourn at the University,
said that Mr. Willis possesses all the
energy and enthusiasm of a small
boy looking for pie despite his 70
years.

Players Are At
Heilig Tonight
‘Lilies of the Field,’ Lively
Comedy by Turner, Is
Presentation
“Lilies of the Field,” an English
comedy by John Hastings Turner,
will be presented tonight at the
Heilig theater by the Moroni Olsen
players under the auspices of the!
Eugene branch of the American As- ■
sociation of University Women.
The Moroni Olsen players are a
group of college folk who organized
the first circuit repertory company
in the West and who for years have
been playing in most of the larger
towns in Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Utah. Their aim is
to put good plays, well produced,
within the reach of even the small
town which usually is unable to
book th’o better class of road shows.
Janet Young, an Oregon gradu
ate of ’14 and a member of Delta
Gamma, is one of the players. They
feature no stars, but “the play is
the thing.”
The scenes of “Lilies of the
Field” are laid in an English vicar
age and the plot deals in a lively
satirical vein with the events of the
courtship and marriago of the twin
daughters of a country clergyman,
who is an uniquely unworldly and
charming character.
Tickets for the play are on sale
at the doan of women’s office and
the Co-op. These must be ex
changed at the Heilig box office
for reservations. Season tickets,
