DEAN SH1RRELL HITS STUDENT AUTO
Nearly Always a Temptation to Waste Time, and Often
Actually a Detriment to Morals, He Asserts
That an automobile “is to most
•tudents a temptation to waste
time, and in com« cases it is a
detriment to morale,” is the state
ment made by Elmer L. Shlrrell,
dean of men of the vnlversity. in
a letter sent out to hundreds of
parents of university students ad
vising against the students bring
ing cars with them to Eugene thia
fall. Dean Shirrell took this step
following an attempt to lear from
deans of men of a large number
of American universities what steps
toward the control of student-own
ed automobiles have been taken in
their particular institutions.
“We do not intend at the pres
ent time to make regulations on
the subject of student automobiles
as other universities have,” states
Dean Shlrrell. “We should much
prefer to have this problem solved
by the co-operation of the parents
of the students of the university.
We believe that your own Interest
In the perpetuation of democracy
in student life at the University of
Oregon will lead you to agree with
us that the automobile should not
accompany your son to the uni
versity.

Luxuries Not Needed
Dean Elmer L. Shlrrell
“Real scholarship at the Univer
sity of Oregon demands a good pro
portion of the student's time and
ths normal recreation of college
life will consume the rest of It.
The moderate allowance needed by
each university man should not in
clude expendltuies for such luxur
ies as the maintenance of an auto
mobile.”
Dean Shlrrell declared that the
university administration recog
nizes that the automobile “is a
valuable and necessary feature of
our modern life,” but that “we
cannot admit thrt It Is a necessary
part of student life. There are
rare cases In which an automobile
Is a necessity to a student and we
are glad to make exception In those
cases.”
In a letter to mothers of girl
students.
Miss Hazel Prutsman,
acting dean of women, etates that
“an automobile operated by a girl
student is a distinct liability.”
A r imber of American univer
sities hace made hide-bound regu
lations against operation of auto
mobiles by students during the
school year, while others, especial
ly those located in or near large
cities, have found it Impossible due
to the fact that a large portion
of the student body goes to the uni
versity campus by automobiles
from home, Dean Shlrrell found in
his survey of the student car situa
tion.
The University of Illinois bans
use of automobiles by students
the school term unless a
permit ta granted by the adminis
tration upon a written request
from the student’s parents. The
University of Michigan has at pres
ent five people, Including two state
police officers, engaged exclusively
In enforcing a similar regulation.
The University of Indiana has also
such a regulation.
Car Users Poor Students
At Princeton university, accord
ing to Christian Guass, dean of the
college, it was found that the rec
ord of the group who had cars was
considerably below the general col
lege average. A strict regulation
against use of cars was enforced,
and, the resulting record was. the
dean declare« to Dean Shirrell, “so
very much better there was really
no comparison.”
Among institutions which wrote
that they have no regulations
against use of cars, except for park
ing rules and the like, were the
University of Minnesota. Stanford
university, University of Califor
nia at Los Angeles, the University
of California, University of Colo«
rado. University of Iowa, IJniver*
sity of Southern California, Univer
sity of Wisconsin, Southern Metho
dist university, and Ohio State uni
versity. At the latter school stu
dents conduct their own traffic
court.
The University of Oregon has
taken steps recently to limit park
ing on the campus, and Dean Shlr
rell indicated that it Intends to
take no more drastic steps at pres
ent.
U. of O. Freshman Co-ed Officers Happy
These co-eds at the University of Oregon, Bernice Wodward, left, and
Pat Boyd, are happy because they have been chosen by the freshman class
as vice-president and secretary. Students at the university have their
own government, and thus develop initiative and a sense of responsibility.

Hays, Kan.—A wild, unwenned colt,
shunning every member of the Reiners
Donu family except the two-year-old
baby boy, singed a dramatic mid un

was possible.
Tlie colt strangely displayed an un
wonted affection for the baby s<-n uf
tlie family for sonic time. Shying
away from Mr. Donu himself, tlie colt
permitted no one to come near Idrn.
Yet the animal would walk up to I lie
baby and nuzzle it while the infant
clapped its hands in glee.
A few days ago tlie older brother
was told to watch the baby. The
threshing machine lured the watch
man away from his charge. Some
time later the baby was missed. A
young woman neighbor to the Donn’s
family joined in tlie search. And it
was she who found tlie colt at the
water tank patiently holding tlie child
out of the water by the neckband of
the tiny dress.
Mr. Donn believes tlie child's
screams as it struck the water at
tracted the colt and that tlie animal
fumbled around in the water until a
firm hold was obtained on the child's
clothing.

TlIE lubrication system for
the engine of the new Ford
is us simple in principle as
water running down-hill.
A gear pump in the bot
tom of the oil pan raises the
oil to tha valve chamber
reservoir. From here it
flows on to the main crank
shaft bearings and the front
camshaft bearing. Overflow
oil drops into the oil pan
tray and runs into troughs
through which the connect
ing rods pass.
As the ends of these rods
strike the oil they scoop up
a supply for the connecting
rod bearing. At the same
time they set up a fine spray
that lubricates the pistons
and other moving parts.
From the tray the oil runs
into the bottom of the pan,
and is again drawn up
through a fine mesh screen
and pumped to the valve
chamber.
This system is so effective
that the five-quart contents
of the oil pan pass through
the pump twice in every
mile when you are traveling
at only 30 miles an hour.
Yet there is only one
movable part — the
oil pump.
As a matter of fact, the
lubrication system for the
new Ford is so simple in de
sign and so carefully made
that it requires practically
no service attention.
There is just one thing
for you to do but it is a very
important th ng . . . watch
the oil! Change tl.e oil
every 500 miles and be nitro
the indicator rod never reg
isters below low (L).
If the oil level in allowed
to fall below low, the supply
becomes insufficient to oil
all parts as they should !>e
oiled.
To insure best perform
ance it is also advisable to
have the chassis of your car
lubricated every 500 miles.
This has been made easy
in the new Ford through the
use of the high pressure
grease gun system.
Proper oiling and greas
ing mean so much to the life
of your car that they should
not be neglected or care
lessly done.
See yotir Ford dealer reg
ularly. Fie is especially well-
fitted to lubricate the new
Ford and he will do
a good, thorough
job at a fair price.
