Spring Outfit Is
Donned Again
Off with the old, and on with j
the new. And so Lottie, the liz- I
ard, who lives in a glass cage on !
the third floor of Deady hall,
wriggled out of her last year’s
skin, to don her new spring en
semble.
Lottie, who is an alligator liz
ard, was captured on the black
rocks of eastern Oregon by a
student of zoology, and was pre
sented to J. E. Herbertson, in
structor in zoology, as a speci- ;
men to be added to his collection. |
Living with Lottie are a couple
of the smaller variety of sand
lizards, and one fence lizard, who
because of their size, occasional
ly manage to squirm out through
a small crevice at the top of
the cage.
At the present time the lizards
eat flies and other insects, but
they will dine on frog legs when
the tadpoles that Mr. Herbert
son has placed in their cage
reach maturity.

ROTC cadets is scheduled to take
place May 25 on the Lane county
fairgrounds. It will include a grand
review of cadet units and parades.
The “governor’s $250 trophy” will
be awarded upon the judgment of
regular army officers unattached
to the state system of higher edu
cation.
Relative to the $1250 appropria
tion of educational funds for trans
portation of Oregon State cadets
to Eugene, the Times claimed that
“a question of expense was raised
here today when it was revealed
that a bus line serving both Cor
vallis and Eugene had tentatively
offered to provide the transporta
tion for under $950.”
Libe Cases Feature
Four Unique Books
The new library bulletin boards
are featuring four topics of diver
sified interests. On the west side
of the hall is the jacket cover of
Erskine Caldwell’s new book on
the “Share Croppers in the South”
with excellent illustrations from
Margaret Bourke-White’s camera.
Miss Bourke-White has gained
fame through her pictures in
“Life” magazine. The next board
is showing L. H. Bailey’s “The
Garden of Pinks.”
On the east end of the hall are
books concerning the Japanese
problem including Haruko Ichi
kawa’s “Japanese Lady in Europe,”
“The Last Genro,” the statesman
who westernized Japan, by Bunji
Omura, and “Children of the Ris
ing Sun,” by Willard Price.
Europe’s present problem is dis
cussed by George Martelli in “Italy
Against the World” and Liddell
Hart in “Europe in Arms.” Hubert
Herring contributes “And So War”
and Stephen H. Roberts adds “The
House the Hitler Built.”

Cramming Reduces Chances
In Final Exams, Doctor Says
If the question of what do you do the night before an “exam” were
to be asked of every student on this campus, fully 90 per cent of them
would probably answer, “cram.”
According to Dr. Hayes this is one of the worst things that you can
do. “Plenty of rest will help you more than staying up all night.”
Many professors advocate that you see a movie the night before an
exam so that you will be relaxed for the test the next day.

recommend that the student eat
lightly of salads, easily digested
foods, and sugar, candy or some
other quick burning energy food
just before being tested. They con
tend that light foods take away
that sluggish feeling and aid in
making your mind more alert.
It is known that during, exam
week many students use benze
drine tablets and “No-Doz” tablets
to help keep them awake for their
cramming. These tablets, which
tend to sharpen the wits for a
while are described in various
magazines as being dangerous for
people with heart trouble or high
blood pressure. Dr. Hayes says
that many students have come to
her after taking the tablets and
complained of a sluggish feeling. A
Northern professor labels their use
as “burning the candle at both
ends.”
What is true of drugs such as
benzedrine is also true of over-dos
ing with coffee and stimulants.
The effects are hard on the sys
tem and do not really help yop in
your exam, it has been determined.
A good night’s sleep is better than
anything else.
The following rules might well
be followed in preparing for exams:
1. Know your subject so well that
cramming isn’t necessary, 2. Eat
lightly of energy giving foods, re
tire early and get plenty of sleep,
3, Let the drugs alone.
