Poison oak remedies take a
back seat as inhalations and ir
rigations take the center of the
stage in the campus hospital’s
starting lineup. Teakettles were
resurrected and a new supply of
paper bags was secured when six
students reported early in the
week with fall colds.
Not proud of her distinctive
position, Irene Havern started
the pre-school rush on the in
firmary when she was admitted
Sunday. Freshman patients are
worrying because they have to
miss physical examinations this
week.
Assisting Miss Havern in her
initiatory duties are Gordon Per

Full Tuition Fee
Due on First Dai]
Students Needing
Funds May Apply
At Registration
The installment plan of paying'
tuition has been abolished this
year, according to a recent deci
sion of the State Board of Higher
Education. The full tuition pay
ment of $39 will be required on
registration day.
Out-of-state students will be re
quired to make a payment of $39
at once with the balance of $40
due October 15.
Included in the regular tuition
fee this year is the admission to
concerts sponsored by the ASUO,
Emerald subscription, lectures,
gym suit and laundry service,
health service, use of the library,
and the regular class enrollment.
Students who find difficulty in
paying all the tuition may borrow
from the student loan fund on ap
plying to Dean Earl, who will
maintain a table at McArthur
court registration day.
The fee for the loan service will
be 25 cents for anything smaller
than $10, and 50 cents for any
thing larger, if repaid within one
month.
Simplified bookkeeping and the
fact that only one fourth of the
student body availed themselves of
the loan privilege were reasons for
the change, J. O. Lindstrom, busi
ness manager of the University,
announced.
There will be a meeting of all
ASUO athletic card salesmen at
McArthur court Wednesday morn
ing at 10:00.
