PHONES Manager 177-J News and Editorial Rooms 655 Editor 841 Business Office 1197 MUST BE NO QUESTION OF LOYALTY Allen H. Eaton, Instructor in art appreciation in the University, announces that tonight he will make a complete statement in answer to the chargee made against him hy the Eugene Chamber of Commerce in a resolution de^ manding that he he dismissed from the faculty of the University. Upon his ability to explain hts presence at the meeting of the People’s Council of De mocracy and Terms of Peace, held in Chicago contrary to orders isued by the governor of that state, rests the decision of whether or not Mr. Elaton should be retained as a member of the faculty. That Mr. Eaton did not represent the University of Oregon, the peoole of Lane county, or the State of Oregon at the Chicago meeting makes little difference. Mr. Eaton did attend the Chicago meeting, the meeting of an organization which would handicap the President in his prosecution of the war. He atended as a dele gate. Tills much he admits. Such being the case, Mr. Eaton must have affiliated himself with the members of that league and, unless he has since withdrawn, must still be a member of the organi zation which was perfected during the short space of time the meeting was in session. What the status of that league may be need not be discussed it will suffice to say that hy loyial Americans it is looked non as traitorous and its members as lacking in the one essential to he looked for in full meas ure in all Americans at this time, patriotism. Mr. Eaton pleads that his patriotism and accord with tell Preesident’s views and actions are as sincere as those of any American and in any light sa\*o that of the present situation, no student of the University would entertain the slightest doubt or Ills loyalty. To the University, with which he Iras been intimately connected for nearly twenty years, and from which he grad uated in 1902, ho has been loyal in every emergency. Until this occasion thero lias been no room to doubt his patriotism as an American. To none of his friends has this occurrence brought more concern than to the students at the University, who have learned to appreciate Mr. Eaton for what he has meant to them and for Ills championship of the University at all times. Students of the University are more than willing to hear any explanation which Mr. Eaton lias to offer—they are eager that lie may clear himself of the clyirgea that have been brought against him. But the student body, which lias given 250 of its best men to the service of the country, are not satlsfld with the reasons Mr. Eaton has given, up to this time, for his at tendance at the Chicago meeting. However, it Is not Mr. -Eaton's task to satisfy the students of the UnU vorsity. With them it. is partly a matter of seeing a frieed clear his- name of the stain which follows such charges. Mr. Eaton must either satisfy the people of Oregon that lie is heart and soul behind the President in the pros ecution of the war, or ho must sever ills connection with the University fac ulty. Thero must be no shadow of doubt as to the attitude! of the University of Oregon towaards the war. * * * * * PLEASE EXCUSE Suffering handicaps in every department, but determined that at least some of the campus news shall he served to Its readers onf the first regular day of publication of the school year, The Emerald comes out today in abridged form. 1’lease excuse—there will be an improvement.
