Anne Dawson WOULD FIGHT TRAINING A pamphlet issued by the so-called Odiegiate Anti-Militarism league says: “There is real danger that, under the present crisis, compulsory military train ing will be foisted on the youth of America. College men must fight mili tary training harder than ever before.” It would be well for this so-called Colleginte league, before it goes any farther with its vicious statements, to weigh well just what military training means. The league maintains it is an over-emphasis of the military and tra ditionally alien to the American spirit. Rot! The Emerald announced its pleasure Tuesday with the faculty action making military drill compulsory in the Univer sity. Was the Emerald pleased because the action was an over-emphasis of the military or because the action was tra ditionally alien to the American spirit? Vo. 't he Emerald was pleased because the action was the first step toward the con servation of our youths. It was saving them for real preparation, and real ser vice. efficient service, in case the neces sity for service arose. Would the so called league not have the youths of the land conserved? Would the so-call ed league have the training camp hor rors of the Spanish-Americau war period repeated? This is an age of specialization. If the so-called league will examine the preparedness policy of the nation and see what the fundamental meaning of this compulsory drill is, then this so called league will see that specialization is ", .rely Intensified. This bunk that is being sent out by this so-called Collegiate league is an in sult to collegians. The colleges and universities should rise up in their might and either abolish this league or see that the name “collegiate” is taken away from it. BETTER NOT CHANGE With the inauguration of military courses in the University curriculum there is u possible danger, tinless a check is placed on the freshmen and sophomores they are going to seriously handieap themselves in their future uni versity and after life. In other ords, in the haste to change their regular work of the past year to get into military courses as now offered, these uiulerelass uieu are going to undo all they have done In their preparation for their future pro fessional or industrial life. With the senior, and possibly the jun ior. the problem is somewhat different. Their course* are practically completed and their preparation for their particular line is completed as far as the University 5--________ is concerned. For them the new training may come in good stead. But for the underclassmen we would say to think three times before changing from regu lar work. Military drill for them for the time being is enough. In fact we would even urge the faculty to prohibit under classmen from changing from their regu lar work to military courses unless it can be shown that certain courses at present carried are not as valuable as the military courses in preparing the underclassmen for this chosen line of professional work. \ WAR WARBLINGS J Showing That a National Crisis Af | foots Even a Column-Writing Class +-* Now is the time jf the year for the cub reporter to stalk forth with a peri scope tucked under his sleeve und make observations on the military situation.

A drill squad was passing the old baseball bleachers where sat many of the charming young campus belles.

PRESS NOTICE *-——--* “The Last of the Ingrams,” which will be seen at the Savoy Theatre Satur day, is said to offer William Desmond the greatest opportunities for varied characterization that he has yet had. The story of this Triangle-Kay Bee drama deals with two tempest tossed souls who fight their battles and triumph over hearts as hard as the rocks bound coast of their native New England. The coming Daddy Long-Legs, which Henry Miller will present here at the Eugene Theatre on Wednesday April 25, has been awaited with interest. The story of th quaint little foundling drudge who is taken from h'er asylum home and given a real chance in a beautiful new world has in it an indescribable charm. Little “Judy” has sentiment, humor and a head full of romance and in her fondest dreams she had never imagined herslf in th situation in which she found her self when an unknown friend sent her to college, with money, new friends and a carefully hidden past. ♦ ♦ ♦ Phi Delta Theta announces the ♦ ♦ initiation of Ray Di.nn of Eugene ♦ ♦ and the pledging of Edward Ward ♦ ♦ of Dufur, Oregon. ♦ ♦ ® ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ SUMMED PLANS MADE Bulletin Ready for Press as Soon as Profs. Respond. Special Courses in Geography and Geology Designed for Teachers Is Offered. The 1917 summer school bulletin will be ready for the press ns soon ns cer tain professors who have been invit ed here for the session respond, accord ing to Dr. Joseph Schafer, director of the summer school. At the present time he is not at liberty to give out the names of these men; it is known how ever. that one of them will have charge of the new teacher's course in zoology in case he accepts. Dr. Spaeth will return; A. Stanley llall. president of Clark University, will he here for the last week, and II. C. King, president of Oberliu College, has promised to come for one week of the session. Dr. Adolph Berle will not be here. Among the other new departures of the coming summer school will be a special course in geography and geology, designed to help teachers in science work, particularly in the high schools. Miss Laura Hatch, of Smith College. Northampton. Mass., was chosen to con duct this work, and has accepted the invitation. Ur. Schafer had expected to receive word trom the other professors invited today, and believes that some unavoid >blo delay has caused the postponement. PROF. STAFFORD TO LECTURE At the next meeting of the Science lub, Tuesday evening at 7:30, in Dec or Winger's room. Professor O. F. Stafford will give a lecture on “Utili sation of Sawmill waste in Industrial Heating.'’ FIRST DID CLASSES START WORK TODAY Fifty Pre-Medic Students Or ganize Company for Act ive Service. Will Affiliate With Red Cross or Federal Government; Alum ni Would Join. Fifty pre-medic students met Tuesday in Deady hall with Professor Bovard to take steps to prepare for definite action as a company either in the service of the Bed Cross or of the federal govern ment. As a result of the meeting, classes in first aid will start immediately under the direction of Professor Bovard, the first of which will be held Thursday evening from 7 P. M. to 8:30 P. M. in Deady hall. No decision was reached as to the choice of entering the federal army as a company or forming in the Bed Cross service. If the Bed Cross service is picked by the class there will be a need of about twenty chauffeurs, five members and several miscellaneous men as cooks and assistants, which would afford places for probably twenty-five more students. Of ficers of the company would consist of the numerous graduates of the school of medicine who at present are repeated ly requesting information from Professor Bovard or. the possibility of the company seeing actual service. Professor Bovard thinks that there is no doubt the com pany will see service so he intends to put the class organized through the pre liminary steps of first aid as soon as possible, even though it may be a few months before the men will actually leave. If the federal army is selected there would be no vacancies as chauffeurs and extra men since these would be supplied i by the government. The work of the class will be along the same line as that which Bill Hay ward has been giving some of his classes, dealing with bandaging and general first aid work. Several of the students have already had a good deal of this work under Hayward but the majority will be entirely new at it. Professor Bovard thinks that a full company could easily be formed of Uni versity students and graduates. There are at present enough active medical students wishing to go who, together with the graduates, could hold up the medical end of the company. Numerous students have signified their intention of driving ambulances out of which twenty to fill up the company could be easily picked. SPEAKS (MIEIIG; Prof. A. L. Peck of 0. A. C. Talks of Landscape Work. Points to Mount Vernon as Best Example of Dignified Simplicity. A. L. Peek, head of the department of landscape gardening at the Oregon Agri cultural College, spoke Wednesday after noon in Guild htill on domestic architec ture. The lecture which was of special interest to the architectural ^ud art students was well attended. A number of colored slides which were procured by Mr. Peck last summer, showing many of the gardens surrounding famous eastern estates were used to illustrate the vari ous methods of producing garden effects employed. lu introducing his talk, Mr. Peck said, ; “The most important thing in landscape j gardening as in any other work is to organize the work properly. It is nec essary to take the house as designed and locate outside the house certain things which correspond to the inside. First the carriage entrance corresponds to the hall or vestibule of the house. It is a very important part because it gives an idea of what to expect inside. The living room corresponds to the view lawn, the service area of the house to the service area of the ground, and the more intimate rooms to the garden which should be informal. The example of the best organizing is Mount Vernon, where the plan of gardening is wonderful. Sim plicity is the keynote. There are no fussy trimmings allowed to break down the dignified simplicity you find here.” Among many views of the lawns and f.sr.lens shown was fht—tomb of Wash ington, remarkable for the fact that it was so planned that no rain or snow has ever drifted in the vault.” Slides were sl)0wn of the large es tates on the north shore of Lake Michi gan. The estate of Silas McCormick is known as the greatest example of land scape gardening in ..meric*. 35 GULLED TO COLORS Official Records Show Many Men Have Left University.
