Vaccinations Urged
By Health Director
Although no cases of smallpox
have been reported in Lane coun
ty to date, Dr. F. N. 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.
Since immunity to vaccination
gradually decreases after five to

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
