Fifty-Seven Students
Ordered To Report
For Immunization
Smallpox Case Demands
Speedy Action
Dispensary Will Vaccinate
Free; To Remain Open
Until 2 o’Clock
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 w’ithout 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 School 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.

Johnson Hall as
City Power Plant
Oregon has been suffering rough
treatment 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, butj
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.

Deferred Pledging System Is Proposed;
Changes in Military Advoeated
By WILLIS DUNIWAY
Abolition of the schools of journalism and applied social sci
ence at the University is included in the recommendations of
the curriculum committee of the state board of higher education
at a meeting in Portland today. Action on the report will be
taken at a meeting April 18.
Under the plan proposed in the committee’s 54-page report
there would be six schools on each campus under a dean.
Commerce work now given at Corvallis would be transferred
to the Eugene campus in a school of Business Administration
and Commerce.

Independence of
India Is Certain.
Porter Believes
That Indian independence is a
certainty was the opinion ex- j
pressed by R. B. Porter, secre
tary of the University Y. M. C. A.,
last night in a talk on "The Na
tionalist Movement in India" at a
meeting of the International Re
lations club at International house.
He stressed the importance of
India’s new unity in winning her
freedom from British rule. Im
provements in transportation and
in communication, as well as the
axistence of a central government
and a common language English
have done much to bring about
a political and social awakening.
The chief danger, Porter de
clared, is that Gandhi’s non-resis
tant, non-cooperative program will
give way to an active revolution
that will give the British an ex
cuse to u,e military force without
facing outraged world opinion.
Zurcher Edges
Out Jacobs for
Treasurer’s Job
|>OB ZURCHER of Portland
edged out Lester Jacobs of
Eugene in the race for fresh
man treasurer by the scant
margin of four votes in the
special election held at the Y.
M. C. A. hut yesterday.
Complete tabulations gave
Zurcher 67 votes and Jacobs 68.
Zurcher was chosen to complete
the term of Edward Thomas,
who failed to return to school
this term.
"The balloting was conducted
smoothly and no evidence of
‘dirty politics’ or electioneering
was revealed," stated Bill Luke,
in charge of the voting.
tne scnooi or mines at (jorvains
vould be abolished, as would cour3
;s in industrial journalism.
A system of deferred pledging,
Linder which no freshman would
be allowed to affiliate with frater
nities, was recommended by the
committee on living conditions. Un
der the proposed plan freshmen
would be required to live in dormi
tories at schools having them.
The committee on military train
ing recommended the abolition of
the compulsory feature of the
training; the abolition of all de
grees in military; and the removal
of upper division work at Eugene.
Upper division work at the college
would be confined to that required
under Federal requirements.
Possible unification of military
courses on the two campuses is
seen.
The adoption of the Princeton
Michigan plan that .“cars may not
be operated by students while reg
istered in school” was also recom
mended by the committee on living
conditions.
Reduction of laboratory and spe
cial fees and deposits so far a3
possible has been recommended.
Professional schools—graduate and
undergraduate would be made as
nearly self-supporting as possible,
with equalization of tuition cost3
as nearly as practicable.
All these provisions, if adopted,
will take effect at the beginning of
fall term, 1932.
