University Notes

That broader scope of usefulness
and cooperation may be extended to
the students desiring TO purchase arti-
eies from local merchants which are to
be- paid by the associated student body,
the regular requisition system has suf-
tered several changes in the hands of
the executive committee. Announce
ment is made to the merchants Of Salem
that no chrage bills win be honored or
recognized unless the merchant presents
a requisition duly signed by the presi-
dent and treasurer for u certain speci-
fled amount which the student making
the purchase must produce at the time
of the sale.
Provision is made, however, that if
any student desires to pay the bin per.
sOnaiiy and the merchant signs the
same, that bill will be paid in tine
course of time. This change means that
no bills win be outstanding against the
student body except those for which
acquisitions are issued. The committee
intends to enforce a strict adherence to
the ruling that fair play and business
dealings of the student body may be
greatly expedited. The system official
ly went into effect this morning.
More than a little attention in the
ranks of alumni and the older students
of the university in the honor recently
bestowed on Miss Grace Edgington who
studied at old Willamette for two years
III l9lO-ll has been manifest since Sat
urday. Her poem entitled "Pictures 4"
was selected for the Anthology of Amer
ican College Verses, volume publish.
ed annually to preserve rhe best poems
written by college students during the
preceding year, The poem was written
in Eugene where Miss Edgington, now a
graduate of the University of Oregon, is
copyreader on the Eugene Morning
Register. 1t was inspired by the beau
tifu. millrace that passes the state uni
versity campus.
During the two years Miss Edgington
studied in the local institution, her work
as conductor of the famous "Co-eds'
Gamer in the Willamette Collegian
ives the delight of the student body and
alumni. She was manager of the Lad.
les Glee club as well as president of
the Philodosian society, where she
served with remarkable executive abil-
ity for coed. Her success in the writ
s field is being watched by her many
friends in Salem.

 New Britain owes 1t, to itself to see that the two compaAies from here are properly recruited to war strensth. The boys and young men owe 1t to themselves to see that they do not miss an opportunity to join one or the other of these companies. When they are sent aboard they will have the advantage of going with those they know. They will not be sent along with strangers from every part Of the country There Is some thing in home ties. This affection takes on greater significance when men are far away, from home. Let our New Britain boys consider then the advantages of going to war with friends rather than with strangers. Let our boys go together. Let them go as members of either Company D or Company I.

 Defense Is Informed.


 Washington, June 25.-The draft ing of physicians selectively upon a basis of federal classification by a medical census similar to the one recently taken in New York state, in order to obtain them for the Medical Reserve Corps, is urged by Major Karl Cornell, Major Richard Derby, and Captain Frederick Van Buren of the New York Committee for Nation al Defense, Medical Section, in re- port to the Council of National De- fense. They hold that the volunteer system of recruiting physicians has been a failure.
 Coincident with this recommenda- ton it was made Known through the Committee on the Council of Ma tional Defense that there was a de- cided shortage of physicians who were ready to volunteer for war work. In report to the General Medical Board of the Council. the committee said strong efforts were being urged through the state organ izations to obtain these medical off, cers.
