Miller, University health director, has planned to open the infirmary annex at 14th and Onyx sometime today. The dispensary is still taking care of a large number of students who come in with sore throats and colds. # “We hfrve done as much as pos sible to prevent the spread of sick ness,. by placing the ban on Sbcial o functions, and although v/e realize that it is no fun for the students to have these affairs called off, the attitude of the students is appreci ated,” Dr. Miller said. Four new patients, all girls, en tered the infirmary yesterday, bringing the t/)tal to 11. They are Ellen Dixon, Felker Morris, Leilani Kroll, and Betty Bretscher.

Kermit Stevens Here On Short Furlough Lieutenant Hermit Stevens, Eu gene, who graduated from the University in 1933, is home for a few days furlough. He is a member of the U. S. army air corps at Randolph Field, Texas. While at the University Mr. Stevens was prominent in athletics, being a letterman in both basket bal and baseball. He was president of the Order of the O, member of Friars, and of Phi Delta Theta. league, but it meets the toughest competition in the East. Remem ber how New York university took the California Bears apart last Christinas vacation. Well, George W'ashinglon decentralizes the Vio lets wherever anil whenever they meet. For the skeptic who jibes, ‘'Well, who is California, any way?”, there is this answer: “Cal ifornia is tin' <|iilntct that knocked over Stanford leaders of the south ern division of the Pacific coast conference, by a 30-point margin to rise up to within an inch of the race leadership.” New York has the name of being the greatest year in year out bas ketball team of them all. The Vio lets seldom finish a season with more than three losses. Yet Rein hart avers that Georgetown uni versity has the finest basketball squad in the East, this season. A very modest statement from Admiral Bill who has Georgetown, as well as the outstanding West Virginia quintet, on the George Washington schedule. Wife denies lllionis man's charge that she hurled ash tray at him. Perhaps it was just meant as an emphatic criticism in pig Latin. The giant ant-eater walks with its toes turned inward to keep from dulling his claws. REPAIR REDECORATE Perhaps the house is in need of repair. If so, we are prepared to furnish the best of materials. See us for an estimate. THE BOOTH - KELLY LUMBER COMPANY 507 Willamette Street Phone 85 Fifth Avenue at Willamette Street University Speech Squads Swing Coast Circuit Swinging into the middle of their speaking season. University speech squads will tour the Pacific coast during the next two weeks, from Ashland in the south to Van couver, British Columbia, in the north, according to the schedule announced this afternoon by Prof. John L. Casteel, director of speech. First, however, speakers on the problem, “Can the United States Remain Neutral?” will meet a team from the University of Wash ington in‘this city, tomorrow and Monday. William Hall, Kessler Cannon, Howard Kessler, John Luvaas, Don Serell, George Tichy, •Scott McKeown, and Jason Lee are the squad members who may speak in four debates, the first of which is to be given in the Com munity Liberal church Sunday eve ning. On Monday the debaters will be guests of the Kiwanis club at i an afternoon luncheon at the Eu , gene high school and in the eve ning will debate in Gerlinger hall at 8:00 under the auspices of the Student Federation. The public is invited to attend the debates Sun day and Monday evenings. Tuesday of next week, the neu trality squad will visit Creswell. Then, from March 2 to 8, both the propaganda and neutrality teams will take their longest trips of the year, the former to the south, and the latter to the north. Prof. W. A. Dahlberg will ac company George Hall, Avery Combs, Walter Eschebeck, and Freed Bales to Ashland, Glendale, Medford, Jacksonville, Belleview, Kirby, and possibly several other towns along the coast. Professor Casteel will go with William Hall and Howard Kessler to the Uni versity of British Columbia at Vancouver, and the University of Washington at Seattle. All of the discussions except the one at Vancouver will be in the symposium style inaugurated at Oregon by Professors Casteel and Dahlberg several years ago, with no affirmative and negative teams opposing each other, but a presen tation of all phases of the problem by the speakers, and a period of questioning after the speeches. In the symposium debates there are no rebuttals, and in the opinion of Professor Casteel the new form has more informational value than the older parliamentary system.

Allen, who is leaving next month for sev eral months in Europe, members of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s jour nalism honorary, entertained Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. J. L. Hesse.

Small Change « Cj o Edited by Mildred Elankburnft Farmers f\sk For Dismissal i Of Professor Texas Faculty Member Arouses Antagonism i With AAA Lectures o Dismissal of Dr. A. B. Cox, Uni • versify of Texas director of the bu reau of business research and pro | fessor of cotton marketing, has been asked by farmers of central Texas. Dr. Cox, prior to the su preme court decision declaring the AAA unconstitutional, had lectured against the new deal measure. The college daily at Texas uni versity repudiates the demand in an editorial by saying that Amer ican democracy retains its value only so long as there are many dis senting ideas which neutralize and modify each other. Honoraries Edit Paper The University of Washington daily recently was edited by pledg es of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalism honorary, and Sigma Delta Chi, men’s journalism hon orary in a version of the Chicago Herald-Tribune. Illinois Dean Speaks Charles M. Thompson, dean of the University of Illinois school of commerce, spo*ke before an Oregon State mass meeting under the di rection of Phi Chi Theta, women’s commercial society, and Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising fraternity for men. Washington’s Council Accused of ‘Prejudice’ I UCLA Panhellenic Chooses *Spotters’ To Check Rushing At UCLA the Panhellenic coun cil has appointed ten womfen as a "spotting committee,” to determine if rushing rules are being violated. The ten will be selected secretly and will not know the identity of the other members of the commit tee. Included in the rules laid down are: no favors or corsages all dur ing the week, no outside entertain ment, a limited budget for each rush affair, and no contact with rushees during the period of truce. Instructor Missing From Seattle School Dr. George K. Boyce, history in structor at the University of Washington, has been missing for ten days, according to the campus daily. Officers found no trace of the instructor. Boyce’s personal belongings will be removed from his apartment house rooms when the rent falls due, Harry W. Lang, manager of the apartment house, said. Library Kept Open Stanford will open its library on Sunday nights immsfdiately pre ceding final week for student re search and study. Jury Procedure Will Be Investigated, Revised By Fraternities In response to complaints against the Interfraternity council’s so called “prejudiced” jury at the University of Washington changes in the jury System are being con sidered. Complainants say that the pres ent procedure uses only one body acting as a grand and trial jury. Ey this system the jury investi gates a case, virtually determines the guilt or innocefice of the de fendant. and then tries the case. The judge is not part of the council, and the jury or board of judges is chosen from the faculty, council, and alumni, thereby mak ing it a body not entirely related to the fraternities. Laddy Gross, council president, said that as soon as rushing rules have been completed, the council may give its attention to a revision on the present trial system. Proposed rushing rules are for $2 registration fees for all rushees, fixing a maximum of three dates with a single fraternity, and have a house bond of $25 to $100 to be posted with the Interfraternity council. Cyclist messengers of the British postoffice cover 200,000,000 miles annually, with a total of 20,000 bicycles. Grayson, Mallet Talk on Fascism Bobby Grayson ami Bob Mallet, students at Stanford, have been chosen to debate before the Sail Francisco Commonwealth club on "Resolved, that Fascism is proba bly in the United States.” This is the second of a series of annual forensic debates between Stanford and California. Last year Bob Gros and Will Rogers, Jr., de feated the California speakers. California has asked that no de cision be given this year, but the Commonwealth club desires to re tain the debate on its present basis. If California refuses to participate either the University of San Fran cisco or the College of the Pacific will be selected as Stanford’s op ponent. Barometer Social Held Oregon State Barometer staff members are leaning toward the light side of life these days. Re cently the newspaper workers had a dinner combining discussion of the year's business with a program of skits and a scavenger hunt. Coeds Fly for Prom For publicizing the University of Washington junior prom, three coeds will pilot planes over the campus flying banners, dropping tickets, and announcements of the dance. It is against the law-to play baseball on many of the finest diamonds in the city of Milwaukee. An old law prohibiting baseball on public playgrounds never has been repealed. For four years Columbia univer sity has offered a course in "ad ministartive geography,” but has not yet given it. Maybe the school is waiting for Europe to settle down. ttGOFIT «. MYSPS TOWCCtt CO.
