ARE THE MEN LOYAL?
The study of mob psychology gives the
psychologist a splendid opportunity to
place his finger on the eccentricities of
human nature.. It is au old hut bitterly
true saying, that the house divided
against Itself gives the strnnger, who en
ters to make pence, an ungodly welcome.
A common purpose united the students
as a body yesterday when they immersed
the editor for his acts as a correspondent
of a Portland paper. It was a story that
generally gnve the impression the men
were rebelling nguinst military drill. As
a matter of fact the protest was not a
protest against drill, but a protest
against the over-time of ten minutes and
forty minutes the officers persisted in
making the men do. Even then the pat
riotism of the men was not subordinated
to their wishes of personal pleasure and
freedom. But the matter was viewed
in the light of class work. Military drill
lias now entered the University ns some
thing compulsory and in its nuture then
is subject to tlie same requirements and
the same regulations ns the ordinary
class. In that light it is not only un
just bill unjustifiable for the officers
to hold the men overtime.
Of course, il may be argued that the.
United States is now involved In war;
that, therefore, the gravity of the nation
si crisis demands that military extremi
ties be indulged in though they may not
conform to just whnt the average lay
man wants But that point cannot he
argued consistently in the case of the.
University men for military drill is but a
small part of the actual preparation
they are making for Uncle Sam. A large
number have applied for the ofllcers’ re
serve corps and are busily working on the
drill regulations, many more have, en
listed and do double military service by
drilling evenings In the coat artillery, and
still many more are taking the military
courses, such as topography, map making
signal practice, artillery science, etc.
Nut a few have left school to take up
ngiiculturnl burdens. Every man of the
University is involved in the prepared
ness fight some way or another. It is
impossible to question tin* loyalty of the
Oregon students.
But delving still farther we observe

that tho faculty, ns anxious ns they have
apparently been for (he students to show
their patriotism, and to that end have
provided special dispensations regarding
withdrawal from classes and entering
military classes and getting University
credit for drill; yet, nevertheless, they
have continued the University life in its
normal routine and made, of it ns civil
today as it was before war, or before
war was ever threatened.
A protest against overtime cannot he
termed un-military, for it surely is no
fault of the men protesting ns long ns
there is no adaptation to military life
on the campus. Nor can the men be
called un-patriotic for protesting against
overtime when they protest only to he
relieved to do the necessary work re
quired of them in the normal civil life.
Thus it was the editor was immersed.
It was no personal attack, as was point
ed out at the time, but merely an ex
pedient on the part of the men to bring
emphasis to'bear on the fact that patriot
ism is a thing far from being lacking in
the make-up of any student taking drill.

PI PHI AND SOPH !
IIIIIES M GAMES
Alpha Phi and Theta Defeated
15-11 and 7-2; Tri Delt and
Faculty Play Wednesday.
First Contests in Woman’s
Baseball Series Staged Yes
terday and Today.
Pi Phi and Triple 15 teams are the
winners of the first two games in the
women's douglftuit baseball series played
last night and this morning by defeating
respectively Alpha Phi and Theta.
The two winners and the two losers
will play on May 11) while the next game
of the series is between Tri Pelt and Fac
ulty next Wednesday.
Hood crowds at both games saw base
ball good, bad, and indifferent.
The Pi Phi-Alpha Phi game resulted
lo ll with competition keen throughout
the seven innings. Rain during the first
three innings failed to dampen the ar
dor of the players who kept on with the
game. Indeed the Pi Phis seemed to be
good webfooters and showed their enjoy
ment of the down pour by bringing home
five runs during the period. Good field
ing and the ability to steal bases brought
success to the Pi Phis. Ella Pews con
nected with the hall nil of the four times
she was at bat and crossed the plate
three times as did Hester Hurd who
showed up well in the cage.
The Alpha Phis called a little hit fest
in the last two innings and brought home
eight runs. In the last few minutes of
play Lueile Watson brought in three
scores with a home run. Mabel Van
/ante and Kate Johnston made a strong
battery which the Pi Phis fouud hard to
score against.
The line up was Pi Phi—Ella Dews
(captain) p; Hester Ilurd, c; Louise

keeper, Roscoe Hurd.
The score for the Triple 15-Theta
game was 7-2. The contest was very
one sided, wild playing and many errors
showing lack of practice for both teams.
A further handicap was the small impro
vised diamond where the girls were
forced to play because the Junior high
school was staging a game on the girls’
diamond.

BLINDSTUDENTTAKES ROLE
Leslie Blades Has Leading Part in Play
let Soon to Be Given.
“The Blind Man’’, the one-act student
play to be presented at the Eugene The
atre Saturday night will be the first play
on the campus or in the state in which a
blind role will be played by a totally
blind actor. Leslie Blades, who is the
author of the drama, will play the lead
ing role, that of a soldier blinded in war.
This is not Mr. Blade’s first appearance,
as he played the same part on the
Mask and Buskin vacation tour.
The whole plot of the play hinges on
one man, but those who saw the playlet
spring vacation say that Mr. Blades is
most cnpable of sustaining the piece.The
story opens with Philip’s return from the
front after having been blinded by an
explosion in the trenches. Philip is a
newspaper man by trade and due to the
efforts of his friend, Raybourne (Dr. E.
S. Bates) he secures a .position on a
local paper. Before the war Miriam
Randall, (Rosalind Bates) had practic
ally admitted her love for him, but now
that his eyes are gone, the blinded sol
dier feels he can not speak of his love.
Miriam forces a declaration, and every
thing seems to point to a happy end
ing. But the family which had welcomed
Philip before the war will not permit
their daughter to marry a maimed man.
Mariam’s mother (Rosamund Shaw) per
suades Philip that it is his duty to the
girl he loves to make her see the im
possibility of the match. After a struggle
Philip agrees to give Mairiam up, but
the complication is increased when Mi
riam refuses to permit her lover's sac
rifice.

TRACK ENTRIES MANY
More Than 100 to Compete in
inter-company Meet.
Seven Relay Races Arranged
for Next Saturday; Tug-of
War a Feature.
With an entry list of. move than 300
men from the six companies, the inter
company track meet scheduled for Sat
urday of Junior Week-end bids fair to be
a great success. Thursday night blanks
were distributed to each corporal for the
entries from his squad. These were turn
ed in to Bill Hayward. A few preliminar
ies already have been run off in the 50
jard dash in the fourth company. Each
company is allowed five men in each
event. Five places will count.
Contrary to expectations the number
who wish to compete from the fourth,
fifth and sixth companies is equal to
the number from the first three. In fact
company six is second to company two
in the number of men entered.
Each night heats will be run off
among the men of a certain company to
get the number down to the prescribed
limit. This is necessary, particularly in
the sprints. Besides a 300 and 220 there
will be a 50 and a 75 yard dash.
Seven different relays have been ar
ranged by Coach Hayward of various
distances. The crowning event will be a
tug-of-war. I
Medals for the high point-winners i
have already arrived and are now being
suitably engraved. The company winning
the meet will receive a cup. It is possible
that other trophies may be ararnged for.
