Jj^RNEST Haycox is a University alumnus—he knows what
school is like, and he knows what students are like, and
what they like. So when Mr. Haycox stood before the students
in assembly Thursday he knew what they wanted and he gave
it to them: a good straightforward talk about people.
With a dash of wit, and some truly interesting material,
Ernie Haycox kept his audience’s attention for every second
of the short 40 minutes he spoke.
There wasn’t a big turnout for yesterday’s assembly. But
the loss wasn’t to the speaker, or to the students who did at
tend. The loss was really to the students who didn’t go, for
general opinion among those who were present was that this
was one of the best assembly speakers the University has heard
for some time.
jyjR. HAYCOX’S bright, intense eyes shown with enthusi
asm, and his ability to choose words that gave the audience
a real picture of the pioneers and still clearly pointed out how
little we differ, a hundred years later, from the people who first
came to Oregon. After all, he reasons, if we were to find an
other mass movement of people today, we would find they
were moving for the same basic reasons that those people of a
century ago were moving across the Oregon trail.
And people now are mostly concerned with how to face
their God, the world, and their fellowmen, just as the pioneers
were concerned with those same problems, the speaker said.
The students did appreciate Mr. Haycox. They appreciat
ed his good natured acceptance of the poor attendance. They
appreciated the fine talk he gave. And they appreciated his
generosity in returning his fee for the assembly and asking that
it Ire given to the student union fund. He was a member of
the committee that started that fund.

JpiRST concrete proposal to assure college students who in
terrupt their education to serve in the armed forces that
they'll have help in resuming their education when the war's
over is here.
Congressman Jerrv Yoorhis of California has dropped a
bill into the legislative hopper that may do the trick.
Yoorhis, one of the most distinguished of the young liberal
voices in the Mouse, believes Congress has a particular duty
to prepare for the future after victory is won. Me is one of the
first men in either chamber to make the recent national re
sources planning board reports on social security policies a
springboard for action.
* * *
JX 11. R. 757, one of three bills he introduced recently, Yoor
his asks for an appropriation to the veterans administration
for educational grants to any person who serves six months
or more in the armed forces.
The measure would provide grants of $500 a vear to help
ex-service men to continue their schooling. As manv as three
successive annual grants could be made to one person. Those
who hold honorable discharges for disability incurred in the
line of duty would also be eligible.
"America will need to have these young men continue their
education and training when the war is over,” Yoorhis told
the Mouse. "This bill makes it possible for them to do so and
establishes the equal right of those not able to finance such
education with those who can. The justice of such a measure
will, 1 am sure, recommend itself to all.”

The manpower shortage has never been more apparent on
the campus than this weekend, with most of the sororities very
unhappy over it. If worst comes to worst some of the sisters
are going to have to turn their dates over to rushees. We didn’t
know it was so bad until we heard that even the Pi Phis are
having their troubles. Tsk, tsk, if it’s this bad now, what will
it be like next year?

Finance, according to leading
industrialists, is a “rich field for
girls.” Any girl interested in eco
nomics, accounting or mathemat
ics and who has a good general
background in social science and
history, will find it a relatively
simple task to secure and hold a
position in the financial field.
Finance, in itself, covers sev
eral industries. It is not a limited
field and offers opportunities to
college graduates in both large
and small cities. The real expan
sion is just beginning, for the
war is causing a rapid turnover
of personnel.
Wide Choice
A spokeman for the American
Bankers’ association estimates
there are a minimum of 56 kinds
of bank positions open now to
girls. Some of these openings are
for stenographers, economists
(in larger banks), tellers or per
sonnel managers.
Research work in corporations
pays approximately $75 a week
and consists of preparing re
ports on subjects that will be out
lined by their immediate supe
rior.
Backgrounds
Statistical jobs are closely
akin to research work. The one
major distinction being that the
financial statistician usually
must have a better background
in economics, finance and mathe
matics than the general research
er. The statistician will keep rec

I Edwin E. Osgood, ’24
..........
Developer of a process for
growing- human bone marrow in
a test-tube and first American
doctor to ever publish an “Atlas
of Hematology,” Dr. Edwin E.
Osgood, '24, is counted among
Oregon's most outstanding med
ical school graduates.
Among other startling discov
eries, he identified and studied
blood cell structures that foretell
almost certain death within a
week if present in the blood
stream. The matter of identifica
tion and the technique for staning
and microscopic identification
were the matters described in his
“Atlas”—which is nut only the
sole American contribution to this
field—but one of three available
in English.
Good Alum
Dr. Osgood is a person who
has kept his allegiances tied
closely to the University. Secur
ing his BA degree in 1922, and
his MA in 1923, his MD in 1924
was followed by almost two dec
ades of service with the Univer
sity of Oregon medical school in
instructing capacities. It was in
1937, while professor of experi
mental medicine, that Dr. Osgood
segregate his “death cells.” Their
nickname was well earned be
cause, according to a review in
Old Oregon alumni magazine.
"When these cells are vacuo
late, and the nuclei are charac
acterized by toxic granular sur
faces under microscopy, the prog
nosis is death within a week.”
Traveler
Widely traveled, with a back
ground of supplementary study
in many of the world’s finest uni
versities, Dr. Osgood counts as
one of his most valuable years,
that spent studying in Vienna in
1927. In 1936 he toured the coun
try. through the courtesy of the
Rockefeller Foundation of New
York, for the purpose of study
ing- methods of teaching preven
tive medicine. The trip included
visits to the universities of Min
nesota, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Texas,
Stanford, and California.
Artificial
Probably the most interesting
of Dr. Osgood’s projects to the
layman, is that described under
the inclusive title "glass bone.”
Here he has developed a device
that functions as a kidney, lung,
and blood stream in simulating
normal life conditions for propa
gating individual blood cells.
When his report on his study
was presented before the Amer
we not omy nave aate trou
bles with us now, we also have
serenade trouble. Despite their
denials, there is a strong rumor
going around that the AXOs
terbagged the last serenaded
while the Pi Phis didn’t stop
with that, but instead, called the
ccps. And this is spring term at
the U!
Take It;' Easy
Of course, some sororities may
have room for complaint, what
with unscheduled ; serenades tak
ing place under their windows at
all hours, but you’d think that
they would be a Jittle more len
ient, especially aslthis is the last
chance for a lot of men to bay
at the moon under the window of
someone who is sleeping. But I
still don’t see why the girls should
get mad; after all, spring term is
too short to waste time sleeping.
Pin news: For the second time:
Ron Dillings planted his DU
brass on KKG’s Gloria Prouty,
and on the other hand, ATO Tr %
Oxman parted with his for tu€
first time on this or any other
campus, giving it- to Marge Cor
don, Pi Phi. FeA June Walker
took Ed DeKeator’s SAE pin
Tuesday night, ahd Ray Dorroh
planted his Sigma Chi cross on
DG’s Betty Bevil. -
Fast Boy
Another Sigma Chi, Hal Ford,
is now holding- the campus rec
ord for getting rid of his pin.
An hour or two after he was in
itiated he planted it on Tri-Delt
Signe Eklund. That’s hardly time
to look in the mirror to see what
it looked like on him!
We can’t make heads or tails
of Chi Psi roommates Clint
Paine and John Busterud’s dating
of late. We do know that ADPi
Prexy Dawn Trask took a trip ip
Seattle to see Jim Mutz, forn ^
Sig Ep whose pin and ring she
had, and came iback without
them.
She was dating Paine, but now
it's Honest John; and a story
from another Chi Psi says that
Paine is going to plant his pin on
a Fee. It’s all very confusing;
perhaps the fact that both Paine
and Busterud are Phi Betes
makes it so.
Secret
We were going to say some
thing about the recent arrival of
former Phi Delt Prexy A1 Hunt,
but we can’t mention where he's
been or what he’s doing or what
he’s been doing or where he's go
ing, so we’ll skip it. Anyway, he's
in the army and he's here now
and the Phi Delt number is 31S
Another squawk from Sign
Chi’s Bob Ellinwood. The first
was when he started the singing
of “Whoop It Up for Baker High’’
at the all-campus sing, and now
he’s mad because he didn't get
mentioned in the listing of SX
“Ring - in - the - Nose’’ clubbers.
I quote: “Why, I was one of the
first!’’ unquote. Our apologies.
Why does Ted Klehmet keep
asking every girl he sees whether
she is going to spend the summer
in Los Angeles ? I’d be sure of
the answer if I knew that he does
his Christmas shopping early.
We’ll leave it at that. Have it
around!
