Will help to handle the lectures on san
itation and first aid.
Since the hour, 3 o’clock, conflicts
with numerous laboratories, students tak
ing the course wall be excused from their
Work in time to attend.
Sixty-two interested students of pre
■ledics attended the first meeting of the
military class of medical service held in
Deady hall Thursday evening. Dr.
Kberle Kuykendall started the active
■fork of the class with the first of a ser
ies of three lectures on general anatomy,

man skeleton, emphasizing the outer
texture of the bones. After the lecture

elementary bandaging, after which the

Sixteen lectures coupled with numer
ous laboratories will make up the course
«f study for the remainder of the se
mester after which the class hopes to be
sent out to active service either in the
Red Cross work or in that of the federal
government. The spirit of the sixty-two
students was manifest in their earnest
attention. Professor Bovard, who is in
charge of the class, remarked that the
interest was exceptionally fine and that
be was highly pleased with the students’
preliminary steps in the work.
Frofessor W. D. Smith’s class in mil
itary topography, to be held once a week
on Saturday morning, met today for the
first time. This course will take up the
study of maps and mapmaking. T’ e
Idea is to be able to picture the ground
as it really is by a careful study of a
map and its different characteristics.
Later actual mapmaking wll be taken up.
Professor McAlister will conduct a
4 more advanced class of one hour, prob
ably to be held on Saturday afternoons,
in the use of surveyors’ instruments,
transits and other apparatus. This will
be « more specialized branch of the
course.
PAGEANT IS UNCERTAINTY
Costumes °.!Hf Preparation Go on in Spite
ot War TalK.
Perhaps there will be a pageant this
j>ear and perhaps there won’t. It all
lies with President Campbell and he
hasn’t decided as to the course that i.e
Will pursue yet.
Designs for the costumes and the gen
eral work of preparation still goes on
however, and if the pageant is given at
commencement time it will not be lack
ing in preparation, said A. F. Reddie,
head of the public speaking department
and who has charge of the production of
cfce pageant.
DELTA TAUS DRILL IN RAIN
* # # #
NONCONIS GET EXPERIENCE
* * # *
ALSO ACQUIRE APPETITES
A bugle call while the rest of us are
peacefully sleeping calls the Delta Taus
every morning from their bunks for mil
itary drill before breakfast. Tramp,
tramp, tramp, they march up and doWr
Eleventh street, to the joy of their quiet
loving neighbors.
Be it known that the drill is really for
the purpose of giving experience in
commanding to fifteen Delta Taus who
are non-commissioned officers. And so,
in the cold, gray dawn, the Delts, to a
man, loyally answer Earl Murphy’s bugle
call, braving rain, and storm, to allow
their brothers to practice on them.
The house manager, however, reports
that the house finances will be in a
precarious condition if the drill contin
ues to the end of the semester as it is
intended, for the boys develop such extra
ordinarily large breakfast appetites, that
in these hard times the house is stag
gered by its growing bills.
OREGON LADS AT CORVALLIS
Athletes Meet 0. A. C. Under Multnomah
Colors.
Although Oregon had no team present
at the O. A. O. relay games this after
noon, four of the lemon-yellow cinder
path artists entered the races. They
were Oscar Goreezky and “Hank” Fos
ter in the sprints and Den Belding and
Clarence Brunkow in the two mile re
lay, Foster also entered tin broad jump,
They ran under the colors of Mult
nomah Club. Multnomah won the Col
umbia meet last Saturday in rather easy
fashion from the Corvallis lads. How
ever on their own track and with their
freshmen O. A. C. ill offer stiffer op
position.
Goreezky got off to a bad start in tht
50-yard dash at Portland and failed tc
qualify. The sprint event to-day is a
75-yard dash which will give him a bet
ter chance. Foster, by his performance
in the Columbia meet is at his best in a
220 and whether he can get up his speed
in a shorter race is a question. He
ought to win a place in the broad jump
without any trouble.
Belding can hold his own in the re
lay and may run the half mile also.
Brunkow did not go to Portland but
he has kept in good condition by daily
workouts. He may run in the two-mile
relay with Belding.
FORMER ATHLETE MARRIES
Clayton Sharpe, Formerly of University,
Joins List of Benedicts.
Last Sunday, the 20th, Marie Doug
lass, of Portland, and Clayton Sharpe, a
former well known athlete at the Uni
versity, were married in Portland. Al
though here but one year Clayton star
red in numerous branches of sport. He
played a great game at quarter in the
famous 3-3 tie with O. A. C. He also
starred at basketball.
Since leaving college he has played
football for the Multnomah Club, ap
pearing on the local campus last fall
where his work in running back punts
will be remembered.
Sharpe is a member of Phi Delta
Theta, and his wife is prominent socially
among the younger set in Portland.
WILL LEARN TO WIG-WAG
Class to Be Taught Signal Code by For
mer Officer Under “Bob” Evans.
A class in signaling will be organized
next AVednesday morning at 11 o’clock
in Dr. \V. D. Smith’s room in the Admin
istration building. This is the latest ad
dition to the new courses in military
science for the students who intend to
take the officers reserve training. The
course may be substituted for any one
hour course, according to Karl Onthank,
secretary to the president.
Chris. H. Jensen, former chief signal
officer for Rear Admiral “Bob” Evans
and at present living at Springfield, will
have charge of the class. Both sema
phore and wig-wag signaling will be
taught. The class will meet regularly at
11 o’clock on AA'ednesday and most of the
work will be in actual signaling on Kin
caid field. Heliographing will also be
included if the necessary equipment can
be secured.
WOMEN GLEESTERS
SCORE HUGE SUCCESS
Annual Home Concert “Gets
Over” With Appreciative
Audience.
Novelty Inaugurated in Opening
Number With Grecian Solo
Costume Dance.
(By Gladys Wilkins)
Bight off the reel the Girls’ Glee club
concert started in being a success lust
night. From the time the curtain went
up on a stage full of Grecian-clad fig
ures rather than the time-honored row
of half-scared, stiff-looking co-eds—if
a co-ed can look either scared or stiff—
until “The Star Spangled Banner”
brought the audience to its feet at
the last curtain, there was spirit and
harmony.
The “S. R. O.” sign wasn’t hung at
the front entrance, but nevertheless
there was a good house, and an enthu
siastic one.
To choose favorite numbers is risky,
but certainly the first one, waltz song
from Faust, with Hazel Rader and Mel
ba Williams as solo dancers, “Barca
rolle” from the Tales of Hoffman and
the delightful group of Cadman’s Indian
aongs with the picturesque and unusual
setting, stand out boldly. “Tenting To
night,” sung as an encore to the latter
group, is undoubtedly one of the loveliest
and the most effective songs ever heard
in a club concert. The absolute stillness
of the house during its rendition was an
index to the deep impression it created.
And speaking of encores, there wnsn’t
a poor one in the lot; the little German
band ditty and the clock song, were par
ticularly catchy, and short enough to
make you v.ant more.
Of the individual numbers, Marian
Neil’s piano solo, played with such sure
touch, Charlotte Baufield's reading, and
the solo and attractive encore sung by
Irene Strowbridge were particularly
well received, and with those of Gladys
I an Nuys and Leah Perkins lent a va
riety and balance to the program which
was desirable.
Up-to-the-minute in plot was “Maid
and Super-Maid.” All the girls did was
to act natural—with the possible excep
tion of Irene Rugh who played Miss
Araminta, and Charlotte Banfield, the
girl with an insane desire for sleep! The
lines were clever and the closing ensem
ble chorus hit the spot with its patriot
ism.
AMY CARSON IS ORATOR
Will Represent University at Annual
Prohibition Contest.
Miss Amy Carson will represent the
University in the State Prohibition as
sociation contest at McMinnville May
20th. Miss Carson's oration is entitled
“The Call To Arms,” and deals with the
war and its effect on nation-wide pro
hibition.
This is the second year that Oregon
has sent a delegate to the Prohibition
contest. Last year Nicholas Jaureguy
represented the University and won
fourth place. The contest has been run
ning in this state since 1902. The first
prize is $45.00 and the second $15. The
winner of the first prize goes to i n
inter-state contest where the award is
$100.
Miss Carson is a member of the co-ed
debating team. This is her firat appear
ance in oratory.
“Stephanie Steps Out,” by Ore
gon Co-ed; May Be Pro
duced Professionally.
Earl Fleischmann Directs Farce
and Promises Delightful
Surprise.
The Mask and Buskin play to be given
in Guild hall. Saturday, April 28 will be
the first real student dramatic produc
tion on the campus. The play “Stephanie
Steps Out”, is the first long play from
the pen of an Oregon co-ed which is likely
to be produced professionally. It is a
rollicking farce in three acts, even fun
nier than “The Live Corpse” which was
given last semester. The action is full
of "pep” and the situations—well, they
are amusing and then some
While the army has taken many of
the old campus stars, an all-student cast
has been selected. A student play, by
student actors and with a student di
rector, is going to be a unique dramatic
effort for the Oregon campus.
The title role, Stephanie, will be played
by Helen Braeht who distinguished her
self as Pippa in“Pappa Passes”,Stephan,
ie is a maid with a romantic nature and
a longing for adventure, who goes out for
a lark in her mistress’ clothes. She Is
constantly in danger of being discovered
and her ludicrous attempts to escape de
tection furnish some excellent comedy.
To make mntters worse, a New York
millionaire falls in love with her. She
gets out of one scrape to run into an
other. The fun waxes fast and uproar
ous until it reaches a climax in the third
act where Stephanie sobs out “I saw
only the funny side.”
Rehearsals are progressing rapidly
under the direction of Earl Eleischmann,
who has had some professional experi
ence. He says that the campus is going
to get a little surprise in the acting of
some of the characters:
The cast is.

Y. M. PUBLISHES PAMPHLET
Book Is Designed to Advertise Local End
of Seabeck Conference.
For the first time in the history of
the University the local Y. M. C. A. is
publishing a pamphlet on the Seabeck
conference. The district has a pamph
let for the general infoimation of the
different Y. M. C. A.’s but this one is
a strictly local publication edited by Paul
Spangler. It is designed to answer all
questions about the who, when, where
and why, of the conference, and contains,
a schedule of events and recommenda
tions of students there last year. The
recreation features are described and
the class leaders listed.
It is hard to incite interest in the
conference this year and get men to
go with so much military talk in the
air but, due to the fact that all under
classmen nre advised to stay in school
and not to enlist, the associations over
the country will hold their conference*
as usual, says ,T. D. Foster.

GLOVE STOCK INCREASES
# * # #
JEWELRY AND RUBBERS TOO
# # # #
WAREHOUSE IN LIBRARY
If the collection of gloves in the lost
and-fonnd case in the hall in the library
pets much larger, by the end of the year
the janitor will be able to equip a whole
ladies’ seminary with cold-weather cov
erings for their hands. It is true that
some of the gloves are minus mates but
they could be matched up very nicely for
people who were not too discriminating.
Besides five pair and five odd gloves,
there is also a handsome green kid belt,
three buttons, three beauty pins, one
Oregon watch fob, one friendship brace
let, one pair of toe rubbers, and one
brooch set with a large red stone, no two
aitides guaranteed to be alike in any
respect. A missionary on a South Sea
isle would have no difficulty finding
some little gift to suit each hula maid
from so choice a selection.
An inventory of the case in Villard
and the one in the library also includes
one hand-decorated Spanish book minus
the cover (a real work of art, illus
trating what a student can do when bor
ed with a class), one diary, one registra
tion receipt, one 1. I’, notebook, two
keys, one purse (empty), and two spec
tacle cases. Fountain pens continue to
dominate the notices posted on the bul
letin boards. During the rainy esason
there are sometimes ns many ns half a
dozen umbrellas locked up but they are
generally claimed very soon. All articles
placed in the “museaum” are picked up
by the various janitors in their rum
blings.

MAY OBTAIN OLD RIFLES
Secretary Onthank Writes for Spring
fields Discarded by Government.
Old Springfield rifles recently discard
ed by the U. S. Government may soon be
on hand for the use of the students in
drilling, according to Karl Onthank, sec
retary to the president. The Seattle
house to which application was first
made says that it lias more orders now
than it can supply.
The government has taken an option
on all the rifles used in the Spanish
Amoilcan war and has not released any
of them yet. All guns are being gather
ed in and those that cannot use in actual
service are to be set uside for use in
training.
Mr. Onthank expects to have a defi
nite reply to his letter from Seattle with
in the next few days.
CO-OPERATE IN LECTURES

WOMEN m GULL
FOR HIM DUTY
Problem of Outlining Courses
Difficult, Says President
Campbell.
CENSUS TO BE TAKEN
OF GIRLS’ CAPABILITIES
First Aid, Emergencies and
Home Nursing to Be Taught
by Red Cross Nurse.
Throe-hundred women of the Univer
sity responded to the call issued by Jean,
ette Wheatley, president of the Women’s
League, to meet at four yesterday after
noon in Villard hall in order to receivo
definite instructions concerning the part
they cnu take to be of service to their
country.
The meeting did not show any especial
outburst of excitement; the women seem
ed to feel too serious for that even after
the band rendered a. medley of patriotic
airs.
President Campbell explained that dif
ficulty was experienced in outlining the
courses for the women since their part
will be more general than that of the
men, for whom the war department had
already outlined the work.
“To the women fall the task of steady
ing the moral fibre of the home com
munity as the usual habits of life ara
being broken up and they must main
tain the usual routine at the snme level,
and here in the University”, he said,
“they should keep their poise.”
lie advised the women to organise
along the lines in which they are best
fitted, and to that end a census of the
abilities of the women in the University
will be taken.
Th courses oulined and explained this
afternoon ns suituble for the women arej
First aid, emergencies and home nurs
ing, to be given by a Ked Cross nurse
three times a week and which later will
receive recognition by the Red Cross
Society for the work done. The class
will be organized Monday in the Women’s
Gymnasium. Credit will be given
A lecture course, given three times
a week at four o’clock, will take up the
work of the Red Cross, economic sys
tems, and how to conduct work in the
home communities of the students.
Miss Elizabeth Fox, dean of women,
urged as many as possible to take the
course. Though uo credit is given they
will have lectures for the various topics
who are best fitted to give them.
A course not restricted to the women
of the University , but to faculty mem
bers and townswomen is the class in
body building. Mabel L. Cummings, head
of the physical training department, ex
plained that in view of the scarcity of
labor and the financial drain upon the
nation, women should be physically fit to
beur an extra strain.'
She said that rhythmic drill adapted
from a military manual, accompanied by
martial music, will occupy the forty-five
minutes of daily practice, to be given at
the same hour as the men drill and the
same amount, of credit given.
Captain Willis E. Shippam, general
adviser in all things military on the Uni
versity of Oregon campus, urged the wo
men to take up the work. “The girls
aud women can help out through the
Red Cross, Honor Guard, and encourag
ing the men to enlist. There’s going to
be a lot of work for everybody.” he de
clared.
Mrs. W. P. Boynton, a local Red Cross
worker, gave a short history of the
movement and told exactly what the so
cieties ia the city would be expected to
do, and also solicited membership for
the Red Cross Society. The organiza
tion, she said needs many more members
for much of its resources come from ths
dues of one dollar.
The Y. W. C’. A., as soon as instruc
tions come, will become headquarters
for any spare time that the girls have
to work under the supervision of Red
Cross women, who will instruct them in
making Red Cross supplies. They will
be there week days and Saturdays, said
Miss Dinsdale, secretary of the Y. W. C.
A.
