FOUR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 19ÏB VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON OOOOCCOOCO-CÛ-COOOO o 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.

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. New Dormiiory at University of Oregon Popular Fishes Child Out ef Water Tank Just in Time. 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 usual life-saving feat re< inl.v by fish­ ing tlie chili, out of th ■ w r tank into which he fell and hold ng tlie baby's head oui ol water. Ilow long the coll stoml with teeth flrinly gripping the necl.1 mini of the baby’s dress before He situation was discovered was not a . eruilned. The baby was unconscious when finally found by tlie fia otic mother and father, but quick resuscitation 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. McDonald and Albert Dailey, police say, that he had burglarized 42 homes, and took them around to many of them. lie told Magistrate lllrslitleld In the Coney Island court that he wanted money to spend like the other boys. He said he was sorry for what he had done and asked the newspaper men to warn other boys that burglary did not pay. He had been living at a. turkish bath for .ome time, and po­ lice there found a number of watches and other alleged loot.

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. F ord M otor C ompany Automobile Plant In the New All-American Six.
