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.

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.

WILL TELL OF DISCOVERY
O. F. Stafford to Talk on Power He
Finds in Sawdust.
“The Utilization of sawmill waste in
industrial heating,’’ will be the subject
on which O. F. 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.”
