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.

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.

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*.
