Student and Gaeultu Activities By Dorothy Parsons ITH the advent of the wartime spirit into the University, our social life has undergone a distinct and noticeable change. Dances will be fewer and more informal in nature and the greatest interest will be centered on things military. Enthusiasm of a new sort is running high. It is an enthus iasm which has patriotism as its keynote. Men and maids both are imbued with this martial spirit, and flags are everywhere in evidence, decorating homes or worn in miniature on the lapels of coats. Among the girls, sewing bees for Red Cross work have become quite the vogue and there are few organizations of the women on the campus which have not taken up some branch of this work. Prob ably the largest social event of the near future will be the student body dance to be given at the Men’s Gymnasium next Saturday night. This will be the first all-University gathering of this sort since spring vacation. The Torch and Shield dance to be given at the Hotel Osburn is probably attracting the most attention of any of this week's affairs, with the Alpha Phi, and Friendly hall dances running high in interest. « « * Mrs. Mabel Holmes Parsons spent the greater part of spring vacation lecturing in eastern Oregon in connection with the University extension work. She visited on her trip, Baker, La Grande and Pen dleton and was extensively entertained in each town. In Pendleton she was the guest of Mrs. Frederick Harold Young and Mrs. James Johns, who were for merly well known at Oregon as Lila Sengstake and Pearl McKenna. Mrs. Young was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, and Mrs. Johns, of Gamma Phi Beta. Both Mr. Young and Mr. Johns were Beta Theta Pi men. Among other well known alumni of the University who entertained Mrs. Parsons were Mrs. Ly man Rice, who was Miss Florence Avery, a popular member of Kappa Kappa Gam ♦ ♦ « NOTICE ♦ ♦ - ♦ ♦ All Failing and Beekmnn senior ♦ orations must be registered with ♦ ♦ me by Wednesday noon. ♦ ♦ R.

MANY COPIES TURNED OUT .. Now that the military training has been made compulsory the students are so busily engaged devouring copies of “The Student Soldier,” that the mimeograph machine has been working overtime. More than four hundred copies of the instructions were first printed and dis tributed to the companies. Mr. Onthank at the president's office said more would be printed from time to time to supply the students asking for them. It isn't possible to get enough books, “Infantry Drill Manual” from which the instruc tions are taken, for all the students, so the University is going to the expense of mimeographing them. The enthusiasm of some of the alumni has caused them to write to the Uni versity and ask for the drill manual. A new and more advanced set of these reg ulations will be printed and distributed to the “soldiers” ns soon ns the present maneuvers described in the leaflets have been finished.

Mr. Holt is now on his way to the Northwest.

Stafford, professor of chemistry will address the Science club next Tuesday night. Dr. Stafford has found that chip wood r.nd sawdust which is ordinarily wasted, can be used to make gas and power. There is a possibility, according to A. E. Caswell, who is on the program com mittee for the club, that John C. Mer riam, head of the department of geology at the University of California, will be here for the meeting. Professor Merriam, along with W. D. Smith, professor of geology, and E. L. Packard, intend to spend part of the summer in the John Day valley working under the supervision of the University of Oregon and of California and the United States geological survey. “That valley is rich in fossils,” said Professor Stafford “and as Professor Merriam was going on the expedition we thought Oregon ought to be represented also.” ARMY INSTRUCTOR IS READY TO GIVE TEST Capt.
