LETTERS FOR THE BOYS IN SERVICE
From the University men seivmg in the army and navy comes- the sug
gestion that some concentrated effort be made to supply tltem with letters
from their Alma Mater and from their friends in other units of the service.
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.
