Fifty-Seven Students
Ordered To Report
For Immunization
Smallpox Case Demands
Speedy Action
Dispensary Will Vaccinate
Free; To Remain Open
Until 2 o’Cloek
Fifty-seven students must re
port to the University dispensary
today for vaccination against
smallpox to prevent a possible
spread of the disease on the cam
pus, Dr. Fred N. Miller, director
of the health service, said last
night.
There is no cause for alarm in
this statement, however, Dr. Miller
said. So far only one case of the
disease has been found on the
campus, and the student in ques
tion, Ray Foss, junior in business
administration, has been sent to
his home in Florence for quaran
tine.
200 Students Exposed
Nearly 200 students who were
exposed to the disease in classes
with Foss have already reported
to the dispensary for vaccination,
according to health service author
ities, but the remaining 57 must
check in today in provision with
the laws of the state board of
health.
"It is essential that we handle
this situation with speed and dis
patch,” Earl M. Pallett, executive
secretary, said yesterday, "even
though there be no cause for
alarm.”
Vaccination Free of Charge
The University health service
will vaccinate without charge all
students not recently successfully
vaccinated. For the convenience of
students who may have classes all
morning, the dispensary will re
main open from 1 to 2 this after
noon to vaccinate students or an
swer questions concerning the re
quirement, Dr. Miller announced.
Regular dispensary hours of 9
to 12 in the morning will be devot
ed to caring for students who re
port. The list of those students
asked to comply with the health
service’s appeal is printed else
where.
Smith Speaks on Orient
At Edison Seliool Meet
Continuance of Jiu-Jitsu Methods
Prescribed for Japan
Warren D. Smith, professor of
geology, spoke before the Edison
School Parent-Teachers’ associa
tion Wednesday evening, using as
his topic, “Out of the East: Side
lights on the Orient.”
In his talk Dr. Smith discussed
the relation of rice growing to
race survival; the doctrine of
non-violent resistance in India;
and jiu-jitsu, which is generally
known in America as a form of
wrestling, but which is a means
of defense and philosophy of liv
ing in Japan. In these contests,
the adversary contributes to his
own downfall with his own over
reaching strength.
“I think that Japan, because she
has adopted western methods, will
finally lose out in her contest with
China, because she has laid aside
^ her jiu-jitsu methods. She will
overreach herself,” stated Profes
sor Smith.
The geologist also touched on
“teaism,” which embraces the
ceremonies, aesthetics, and philo
sophy of tea.
These four topics throw consid
erable light on the peoples of the
Orient, and point out striking dif
ferences between them and our
selves.

At Sunday Evening Forum
“The Life of Mahatma Gandhi”

C. A., Sunday night at the regular

Mr. Porter spent five years in
India and has kept in touch with
the sentiment of the people of In
dia, through two publications
which he receives regularly.
Mr. Porter will speak on the
same subject at the morning stu
dent service of the Methodist
church.

Nevada Debaters
Victorious in Tilt
With Co-ed Team
jMen Successfully Defend
Divorce Law of Tlieir
Home State
The University of Nevada men’s
negative debate team won an audi
ence over the Oregon women in the
meet held in the Methodist Epis
copal church, last night. The ques
tion was: “Resolved, That the di
vorce laws of the state of Nevada
should be condemned.”
Burt Brown Barker, vice-presi
dent of the University, presided as
chairman throughout the formal
debate and the open discussion
which followed.
The audience numbered about
100, of which 63 voted. At the
commencement of the debate, 25
stated that the divorce laws should
be condemned, 20 that they should
not, and 18 were undecided.
After hearing the arguments,
29 voted the affirmative, 27 the
negative, and seven were still un
decided. This gave Nevada seven
changes of opinion to Oregon’s
four.
The vote on the debate itself,
based on the manner of address
and presentation, resulted in 33
being cast for Nevada and 13 for
Oregon.
The Oregon speakers were Ber
nice Conoly and Geraldine Hickson,
both experienced in intercollegiate
debate. The Nevada representa
tives were Granville Fletcher and
Vincent Casey, who are making a
speaking tour of the Northwest.
The case of the affirmative was
built up on the theory that they
were for easy divorce, but not that

Johnson Hall as
City Power Plant
Oregon has been suffering rough
ireatment recently. California took
it upon themselves to claim Cra
ter lake. A New York newspaper
credits Mount Hood to Washing
ton. Multnomah falls has been
juggled unmercifully.
The Pacific Municipalities maga
zine, which, needless to say, is
printed in San Francisco, Califor
nia, blossoms forth with a picture
of Johnson hall on its cover which
contains all the aesthetic elements.
But glance below and what do
you read ? You read “Hydro-Elec
tric Power and Light Plant, Eu
gene, Oregon.” There is a caption!
It is to be admitted that the
power produced through facilities
of Johnson hall is amazing, but
where is the light? Has any col
lege student ever seen it ?
Of course, in getting the city
and state correct they are to be
complimented. We'll wager, how
ever, that they will attempt to
claim that the sunshine is a Cali
fornia product.—They can have Mt.
Lassen though.'

High Praise for Activities

sue while in college.

good will of bringing to the cam

News of the state hoard of
higher education’s action in
Portland Monday will be rushed
to the Emerald by a special
correspondent. If the decision
is held over a week, an extra
will release the news to the
campus.
By WILLIS DUNIWAY
The next two days will greatly
affect the trend of higher educa
tion in Oregon.
Meeting in Portland Monday
morning, the state board will hear
and act upon the long-awaited re
port of the curriculum committee,
which it is thought provides for
elimination on one campus or
another of courses now duplicated
at the University of Oregon and
Oregon State college, possible dis
continuance of some departments
and schools, and centralized ad
ministration of the two institu
tions.
An air of mystery overshadows
the coming meeting. Recommen
dations of the report, which cov
ers some 90 typewritten pages,
can not be learned in advance of
the meeting. Those few persons
who have seen the document have
been sworn to secrecy as to its
contents.
Special Meeting Tomorrow
The curriculum committee will
hold a special session tomorrow,
it is understood, to reduce its find
ings into a 10 or 12-page report
for submission to the board.
Final action on allocation of
courses may be delayed if two
members of the board are absent
from the meeting Monday. In this
2vent, the board will then adjourn
jntil the following week.
Little other business is to come
before the board Monday, how
ever, indicating that prompt de
cision on the problem of course
allocation may be made.
