Miller, health service director, advises students to obtain vaccinations as soon as possible. \ Dr, Miller especially urges those students who spent vacations in -f- -4fee epidemic areas, Seattle and San Francisco, to take precau tions, since, there is season to be lieve that they could have been ex posed to this disease. The student health service is offering vaccination to all students who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity. All students wh# desire may go to the student health service between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and receive, without charge, a vaccination against smallpox. Because of the existing emer gency, University staff members may go to the health service be tween 4 and 5:30 p.m. today and receive vaccination. v A charge of 25 cents will be made to each individual who is not a regular student at the Uni versity. “Since all undergraduates are required to have a smallpox vac cination as part of the entering physical examination, unless there is religious objection to vaccina tion, the University student body is already relatively well protect ""*"ed against disease,” Dr. Miller said.

Winter Term Honor Roll Lists 26 Tour Pointers’ Twenty-six University students hit the coveted peak of scholastic attainment with straight “A” in all subjects to head the winter term honor roll recently released from the registrar’s office. The 4.0 students include: Norman E. Anderson, senior m law; Fred O. Burnett, sophomore in business administration; Mary V. Corrigan, senior in liberal arts; Leola R. Deffenbacher, UO Students Voice Opinions On Sprina Term Reaistration \ By Laura Olson Spring term registration at Ore gon finds a great increase in the return of veterans. Many of the men and women (both old and new students) seemed to think that registering for Courses is as bad -as • being inducted into a branch of the service. Most of the new Webfoots believed that the advisers should be stationed in McArthur court—“not somewhere miles away,’’ and that “things are sure balled up.’’ To discover the honest opinions that the veterans and old students held concerning registration, the following men and women were questioned: Dale Baker, veteran, old stu dent: Registration has its points —some good and some bad. Too many people walk around in a fog, though. It’s pretty rough for new students. Don Wayne, veteran, new stu dent: I think everything's about as fouled up as the navy is. The organization is certainly mixed up. Adeline Korish, veteran, old stu dent: It’s quite simplified. There are certainly enough signs to help people. I don’t think it’s changed much since last term. Russell Harwood, veteran, old student: I think that the graduate students and new students should be separated. This conglomeration is terrible! Fred Samain, old student: It’s been simplified somewhat. The advisers should be in McArthur court, however. Then students wouldn’t have to run all over the campus. Walter McKenzie, veteran, old student: There aren’t enough classes to go around for the num ber of students. The hours are confusing. Mamie Char, veteran, new stu dent: Everything is very confus ing. It reminds me of boot camp; however, there is less discipline here. Frank Anderson, veteran, new student: I don't think they have enough signs to tell you where to go. A person has to stumble around. I believe an information desk would help. John Boone, veteran, old stu dent: Registration is a little con fusing. It was better in 1941. The’ main trouble is having the ad visers so far away. Bob Pelz, old student! It’S not so confused this term. I'm happy with the University. George Bartholeck, veteran, old student: I think registration is quite convenient. I seemed to get through quicker today, but when you just come in, it’s confusing. I - think a chart showing where people should go would help. janet jermain, old student: I don’t know whether it could be changed or not. Things seemed to run a little more smoothly this time. Jue Stanton, veteran, new stu dent: They should have registra tion by classes. Different classes on different days would be a good idea. (Stanton is a transfer from Kuomin university in Kwanting, China). Ceota Casterline, old student: It could be improved by doing part of the registration of old students in the previous term. The advisers should be in McArthur court. Herbert Tainer, veteran, new student: I’ve followed the other fellows around. They pointed out the places where I was to go, but I believe the advisers should be better informed. John Weiset, veteran, old stu dent: I think it’s better than last term; more smoothly run, well or (Please turn to page eight) junior m libral arts; La Verne I. Erickson, senior in art; Thomas W.

Constance, assistant registrar, announc ed that 2789 students had com- ! pleted their enrollment. This is an 86 per cent increase over last year’s first day figure of 1497. , Tlie new total is 20 per cent more than last term’s initial ‘ enrollment of 2307.
