Although they aro here, ostensibly, as dele gate's from Oregon’s secondary Schools to die annual High School Conference, their casual contacts with the faculty and students here will yield them, we suspect, at least equal value with the excellent pro gram arranged. And their confused impressions of the business of a university will, to a degree, become Clarified. For many of them, this meeting will provide die first, opportunity to contrast the real university with the gorgeous creations of the flick ering screen. And there are some more who may have persisted in envisaging Oregon as they saw it in die palmy days of a junior week end. These will qualify preconcep tions when they see the University at work in winter term. Of all the various, organizations that sojourn within Oregon’s walls for a. conference during the year, the Kmerald counts the preppers, in the lingo of take-it-for-grauled collegians, most fortunate. Theirs is a peculiar opportunity, in a short span, lo grow college-wise. They are welcomed cordially but uncere moniously, and are inducted eiisily into tin' living atmosphere of a busy university. They fraternali/.e naturally with former classmates in residence here ami partake of the same maligned victuals. And finally, when they are stowed away in a creaky spare upper, they have pene trated beneath the externals; they have sensed a mood previously for eign to them. ISul in addition lo die colorful ec centricities and the wealth of tra ditions native to every campus; in addition to the stimulation of asso ciating with many new and inter esting persons, thu visitors :\\ ill feel something of dio play of ideas, of the striving for intellectual mas tery that is the vital current be hind the fascinating show. They may even begin to realize - a few of them—that some of the cord clad men to whom they are inclined to defer are nothing more than preppers in fact. And that the test of the aptness of the epithet, prepper, is responsiveness to Hie tmu motive of the University, not .in seniority of years or residence. To be a prepper proper is infinitely more desirable than lo bo a prep per perennial! An Ounce Of Prevention— HTMIM University health service is again appealing to the good sense of diu student body to help in avoiding what, may easily be I*rolessor Sneelser Will l{ea<l at Vespers Albert It. tSweclser, head of the department of plant biology, will read die service at vespers, Sunday, January 15, at -1:"0, in the audi torium of tlie music building.

Last week there were lo new eases, and the week before, 11. '/hole tta., one rather settle cu-e come a grave situation. The pres ent epidemic of smallpox which is spreading over the state has not reached alarming proportions |but cases arc increasing in number each week. Learned medical men, writing in such magazines as the American Journal of Public Health, and the Boston Medical and Surgical Jour nal, arc authorities for the state ment that smallpox, contrary to the popular belief that it is becoming a rarity and that its more severe forms arc extinct, is still one of the most widely prevalent and dangerous of diseases common in tho United States. Figures show that tho United States has more smallpox than any other part of the world outside of Asia. Over a period of II years, 19U1-2;! inclusive, Oregon had a total of 11,999 cases of smallpox. Rhode Island, with a population of about 200,000 less inhabitants, had but 20 eases during the same period. Rhode Island has general vaccina tion laws. Oregon, ranked sixteenth among tho states of tho country, listed irrespective of population, having the greatest number of cases of (lie disease during tho 11-year period, proving that conditions for the prevention of smallpox were none the best in this state. There arc now 12 cases of small pox in Lauo county, four of tho cases being in Eugene. Last year, one rather severe case developed on the campus, more being prevented because of precautions taken by the health service. This year, how ever, there are mure cases reported throughout tho state and county, ac cording to Dr. Fred N. Miller, head of the. health service, and the dan ger is increasingly greater. Vaccination, as suggested by Dr. Miller, will render most of the stu dents immune to tho disease or, at the worst, make them subject to but mild forms of it. Immunity gen erally lasts from fivo to seven years. Naturally iiuimiuo persons are said to be unusual. Failure to bo vaccinated means liability to contract serious forms of tho disease wherein the mortality rate is from dll to 100 per cent, according to the different forms. The high death rale of the more serious forms of smallpox is terri fying. Even mild cases often result in hideously pitted tacos. Tho crowd ed conditions in which students live makes doubly great tho danger of an epidemic of such a contagious disease. University hospital facilities, at the present ratio of four-tenths ot a bed to ci cry 100 students on the campus, can cure for but a mere handful of patients. The city hos pitals do net take care of con tagious cases. Cure is too uncertain to lie risked, l’reveution through voluntary vaccination is the sen sible thing to do. •—W. C. on tho campus lust year. Since there is more smallpox in Lane I county this year, the University students have more of a chance of ; taking tho disease than they had j last year unless they voluntarily I submit themselves to vaccination.

Angus McWlioozit, editor of the Scappoose High School Broken Bugle, who is advocating many things at the conference which opens today. Among them is the idea of serenades for high schools. Angus believes that with proper police control they could l'ise to the level of the college disturbances. McWhoozit also wants college methods adopted for high school classes, as he claims that many stu dents suffer nervous break-downs from lack of sleep. “More lectures; more sleep,” is McWhoozit’s battle cry.

Arabia, Jan. 12.— (Special)—Nearly a thousand high school students were killed here at an early hour this morning when a fraternity sleep ing porch collapsed with all its oc cupants.

Replies are directly quoted. Today’s question: .Should there be more written English courses in the University? Wallace Ilaydcn, senior in archi tecture: “Any course that stimu lates cultural interest and provokes investigation contributes to the realization of the ideals to which this institution is dedicated.” Zelle Ruble, sophomore in Latin: “To see these preppers in our midst renews my enthusiasm for my studies and makes me more appre ciative of the rare opportunity* of being a University student.” Chet Floyd, freshman in journal ism: “I think everybody has as much English as is essential before they come to college. I don’t think that anyone not especially 'inter ested would bo benefited by taking it.” Tom Wallis, junior in business administration: “I think there should, because spuic students are not able to write.
