"This is quite an unusual situa tion during the mid-term examina tions,” said Helen Fleming, nurse In charge. “The students gener ally patronize the Infirmary to quite an extensive degree when mid-terms are in vogue. It may not be a standardized rule but nevertheless this is the lowest reg istration we’ve yet had during the examinations."

The success of the Eagels picture, “Jealousy,” may cause the Colonial manage ment to bring back that traged ienne’s great picture, “The Letter.’ Portland theatres are showing the new Harold Lloyd talking picture “Feet First.” John Gilbert comes to the McDonald theatre on Sun day in Albert Richard Wetjen’s (Salem, Oregon) “Way for a Sail or.” It is rated as the best sea story of talking picture history and puts the handsome Gilbert back on his pedestal of movie king.

Progress Predicted for ° Furniture Manufacturing Process Considered With Other Industries of Oregon Substantial progress in furniture manufacturing, especially with a view to supplying the Pacific coast and adjacent states, is pre dicted for Oregon by O. K. Burrell, professor of business administra tion at the University of Oregon, in a recent research study, “An I Industrial Audit of Oregon.” In i this the future of the furniture in | dustry is considered along with | that of other industries of this state. “It hardly seems possible that Oregon manufacturers of furniture will offer any serious competition in the national market, for the market of Oregon producers is now, and will undoubtedly continue to be in the Pacific coast area", says Professor Burrell. “Oregon does have an opportun ity for limited expansion in the manufacture of the higher grades of furniture for while the local market has been supplied by wes tern manufacturers for low and medium priced articles, most of the high quality period, antique, and modern furniture sold in this section has been supplied by tHe middle west and eastern manufac turers. Oregon manufacturers, by turning out a quality product, can compete successfully in this field.” Since 1919, when the value of furniture manufactured in Oregon was $1,961,000, the output has dou bled ,and in 1927 it totalled approx imately $4,000,000. The same ra tion holds forth for the entire United States, although the growth in the entire country for all in dustries was but 52 per cent, Mr. Burrell points out. Furniture is something of an "optional purchase,” it is stated, end the increase in volume is held due to the prosperity enjoyed dur ing the period covered above. With the country emerging from a de pression, a bright future should be in prospect for furniture men, the figures show. Oregon is slightly ahead of Washington in volume output of furniture, but is behind California. Washington's total for the year 1927 was only slightly over $3, 000,000, while California turned out $22,404,000 for the same year. The bulletin in which these sta tistics are found is number six of the series issued regularly by the school of busin’ess administration of the University of Oregon. „ , i ■ "■—I EMERALD CHIPS • |»i Delta Phi to Meet— Pi Delta Phi, national French honorary, will meet this noon al the Green Lantern, according tc Frances Bacon, secretary.

Former Oregon Hurdler Now Prof, at Cincinnati Ralph Tuck, who was a famous hurdler for Oregon six years ago, has been made an assistant profes sor of economic geology at the University of Cincinnati, Tuck states in a letter received by Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, professor of geol ogy It Is a remarkable achievement, according to Dr. Hodge, to have attained such a position in so short a time. Tuck was a research as sistant for Dr. Hodge in 1927, when he took his master's degree. He later received his Ph.D. at Cor nell. This past summer was spent working for the Standard Oil com pany.
