One of the boys, writing to a friend on the campus, says, “You have no idea how much it means to the fellows here to get letters from! friends at Dear Old Oregon, and you cannot imagine how few of those letters we receivej” Here, then, is one real chance for the students to “do their bit,’’ a chance for them to make the lot of the toys, who have given up their university work in answer to the needs of their country, a little brightelr and a little more pleasant. But in handling this matter, some arrangement which would keep the men at the different stations informed not only of what their friends on the campus are doing, but would also give them the news of enlisted men in other camps, should be worked out. One suggestion which lias already been made and which appears to have a wealth of possibilities, is that an exchange bureau of letters be established, to act as a clearing house of infor mation of interest to the soldiers. The idea then would be to have all except personal letters, either from students or men in the service, addressed to the bureau. The bureau would then make duplicate copies and send them along to each of the otliei stations where Universityi men are stationed. The idea is yet in its embrjnnir stage, but is well worthy of consideration. Some such method of supplying the boys with the personal news of the cam pus should he adopted and the Emerald will weflconie any suggestions that may b« offered by the students.

UFO. MEN WOK MODELS AND IfPISIS HEAD OF CAMPUS Y. M. C. A. FINDS MORE POSITIONS THAN CAN BE FILLED BY STUDENTS Avocations Varied, Chance Offered for Good Jobs or Steady Em ployment for Year. Work varying from stenography to art models is tlie oportunity of the col lege man looking for employment this year in the I'niversity. The campus Y. M. C. A., as the main source of the work obtainable, is offering odd jobs, steady jobs, and all sorts of jobs for the college student in need of ready money. James Macpherson. secretary of the local association, reports that over SO applications for jobs have been turned in to him during the month lie has been in Eugene doing Y M. 0. A. work, "Through the Chamber of Commerce here in Eugene, and the people themselves, 1 have been fairly fortunate in securing work for the stu dents, and jobs have been rather plen tiful. In fact, one of the troubles is having enough men to till the places offered." "The work varies from positions in" restaurants. stores, washing windows, to sign writing, art models, janitor work, putting in wood, pressing work, and typewriting." said the secretary. "Probably (50 fellows in college have landed steady jobs that will last them all year, and many others have jobs that bring them in a few dollars now and then to meet expenses.” “The prospects for work for the coming year are very bright, but there are not enough students to fill the places offered. I wish more could be persuaded to come and let me help them obtain positions. Of course,” he added with a smile, “the work is all free to the students, and I want them to take advantage of it. I am here to help them out, and I want them to come to me and let me do what I can for them.” DEBATE PROSPECTS ARE GLOOMY, ACCORDING TO R. W, PR SCOTT “No Old Men Back,” Bewails Mentor, Who Asks for More Candidates; O. A. C. to be Met First. Debate prospects do not look very bright to Robert W. Prescott, profes sor of public speaking, and coach for the University debate teams. “ I have no old debaters back,” he said yes terday; “in fact I have the same con ditions to deal with in debate that Hugo Bezdek has to meet on the field but we will not be discouraged.” - Pour debates are scheduled for the year; two with O. A. C., one with Washington, and one with Stanford. Mr. Prescott hopes to have one debate with 0. A. C. before Christmas, and since O. A. C. asked this last semes ter, it is probable that the University will meet O. A. C. before the end of this semester. This year it is O. A. C.’s year to suggest the subject for the debate, and as soon as he hears' the question, Mr. Prescott will begin picking his teams.. There will be two teams with two on each team. Mr. Prescott picks the teams from members of his debating classes, and so he suggests that those who are ambitious to be debaters join his class in debate. The teams prob ably will not b< picked for six weeks at least. Announcements (All announcements to appear in this column of the Emerald must be in by noon of the day of publication.) WEDNESDAY H. B.
