A CONTRACT TO FULFILL
Ninty-nine per cent of the students in the University of Oregon are aiding
the kaiser and Jeopardizing the efficiency of not only our soldiers but, als«
the fighting forces of the allies in the war against Prussian militarism.
Left to stand by itself, such a statement would bring every man and wo
man in the University to their feet in wrathy protest. Nevertheless, i,t Is
true, and the same accusation may be truthfully made against a like percent
age of all of the people in the United States. We are starving ourselves of
victory that wd may gorge ourselves with food.
Every particle of food wasted In American homes, in American hotels,
American restaurants, in any place where food is served and eaten, is adding
to the duration of the war and the toll of lives and limbs of our own soldiers
and those of all of the nations arrayed against the kaiser. Every liight or
disparaging remark passed in discussion of the food conservation—food sav
ing is more truly expressive of the movement—campaign is as treasonable
as defamation of the flag. The food saving campaign is not an empty vision
of idealistic dreamers. IT IS A VITAL FACTOR IN THE SUCCESSFUL
PROSECUTION OF A WAR WHICH THREATENS TO ERASE FROM THE
EARTH THE IDEALS UPON WHICH OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED AND
HAS FLOURISHED.
To every call made upon it by the demands of this war the University, its
students and its faculty have responded with one hundred per cent patriotism
and one hundred per cent service. The call for men saw nearly two hundred
loyal sons of Old Oregon step forward without question—the demand for men
and women trained in the sciences of modern warfare seies the course of
study completely revolutionized. What now is to be the answer of the student
body to the request that it eliminate all waste of food on the campus?
Put the University of Oregon down as the source of the food for the men
she lias sent to the front. That is the contract to be signed by nearly nine
hundred students within the coming two weeks. It will be fulfilled to the
lettter.

ENCE OF SENATOR CHAM
BERLAIN; COST TO BE
NEAR $60,000.
25 Doctors and 65 Nurses Included;
Taken Principally from Med

A telegram announcing the decision
of the national organization of Elks
to furnish the money for completely
equipping the University of Oregon
base hospital corps lias boon received
by President Campbell from Fred Har
per, grand exalted ruler of Elks. It
is estimated that it will cost $60,000
to equip the unit.
The University base hospital corps
has been organized in ttio Portland
medical school branch of the Univer
sity and consists of twenty-five doc
tors and sixty-five nurses, taken prin
cipally from the faculty and student
body of the University medical school
at Portland, and 162 enlisted men . It

The support of the Elks comos part

Chamberlain, who is a member of that
order and did much to enlist their
aid.
After the receipt of the Elks' de
cision. President Campbell and R. C.
Yenney and Chas. F. Berg, members
of the medical school faculty, sent the
following letter to Mr. Harper at the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks’ headquarters in Now York City:
"To you, ns the highest officer of
your great order, we bring the thanks
of the state of Oregon on tho occa
sion of your visit to Portland. More
formal acknowledgment than this will
be made, but none can be more sin
cere; tlu» action of your relief com

the funds so generously given by your
Order, for Oregon surgeons and nurs
es to go to the front and administer
to the wounded there, be assured that
the prayers of the mothers of Oregon’s
soldiers will bring blessings upon you.
"It has been truly fortunate that
Senator Chamberlain, who knew the
needs of this hospital, was an Elk as
well as a loyal citizen of Oregon.”
BACHELOR CLUB OUTLOOK BAD
The outlook for the organization of
a Bachelors' club is rather dark. The
last year’s club, which was organized
with Curtis Beacli as its leader, made
extensive plans for activities this se
inoster. Beach is not in school this
year, and as many of the students are
supplied with work or have made def
inite arrangements concerning their
room and board, it is doubtful whether
enough members could be had to make
the club a success. It is likely how
ever, that in the near future some ac
tion will be taken regarding the or
ganization of such a club.
OUTLOOK IS PROMISING FOR THE
ORCHESTRA MISS FORBES CLAIMS
Tentative Appointments Are Made at
First Tryout; Annual March
Concert Is Planned.
Tryouts for the University orches
tra have been held, and practicing!
will start immediately. Miss Wini-I
trod Forbes reports a large number
of violins, and a fairly good showing!
of other instruments. She considers
the outlook very hopeful, in spite of
the many absences this year.
The players, as they have been de
cided upon to date, are: Piano, Char
lie Runyon; tlrst violins, Alice Van
Dor Sluis, Genevieve ltowley, Alber
ta Potter, Gail Roberts. John Hough-!
ston. Acio McClain; second violin,
Ada McMurphey. Hyron Garrett, Maude
1.argent. Edna Rice, Jennie McGuire.
Dale Humbert; cornet, Morris Mor
gan; harp, Ruth Miller; 'cello, Glen
Macov; mellophone. Robert Lees;
tympany, Claibe Pennington.
Prof. Dunn will play the bass viol,
and Prof. Haddolet the flute. No
platers have been decided upon for
the tromlione or the clarinet.
The orchestra will use music that
Miss Forbes brought from Chicago,
and will give its usual concert in
March. They will play on various
other occasions during thS year, such
as class plays, commencement exer
cises, and at vesjv r ,-er\ tees.
School semesters at the University
of Washington have been cut into
four terms.

Even Students May Now Buy
Liberty Bonds
New Issue of Loan Certificates
Brought Down to Level of
University People.
Have you $4.10 snugly tucked away
somewhere In the corner of your
clothes that might be werking for Un
cle Sam and the soldier boys Oregon
is sending to the front? If so, buy a
Second Liberty Loan bond.
When the second issue of the Lib
erty Loan was first announced it was
given out that the denominations
would be sufficiently small to allow
even the poorest paid laborer an op
portunity to help finance the war for
democracy, but little was it expected
they would ever come within reach
of the ordinary college student. The
smallest denomination of the new
bond issue is $5.00, and these certifi
cates sell for $4.10, cash. At their
maturity at the end of five years,
with the interest at 4 per cent, they
pay the holder, be he student or other
wise, an even $5.00.
SUNT SUPPLY OF SPEEO BOYS HEED
CALL OF HAYWARD FOR FROSH TRACK
Only Twenty-Two Sign for Work, as
Compared With Sixty Last
Year—Abbott Star.
Track possibilities have taken a
greater slump this year than any other
branch of athletics at Oregon, ac
cording to Coach Bill Hayward, who
reviewed tko prospect sadly on Fri
day.
None of the old men have signed
up for track work, and the freshman
class has yielded only twenty-two,
while last year there were sixty of
last year’s freshmen on the track at
this time. The most likely freshman
prospect this year, according to Hay
ward, is Leith Abbott, a lialf-miler
from Ashland high school. No other
freshmen have siiown more than av
erage ability and all will have to be
developed.
OREGON GRAD WINS CALIFORNIA CO-ED
Willard Hayes, "Fighting Parson,”
Marries Astoria Girl.
Rev. Willard Hayes, former athlete
at the University of Oregon and Mc
Minnville college, was married to Miss
Margaret Ferguson on August 17, at
Astoria. Mr. Hayes is called the
“fighting parson” because he left his
pulpit at Amity to accept an appoint
ment to the Presidio training campj
some time ago. Mrs. Hayes is a
graduate of the University of Cali
fornia and was last year a teacher in
the Astoria high school.
The ceremony was performed by
ltev. E. E. Lane, a graduate of the Uni
versity of Oregon, now in service as
chaplain in the coast artillery corps
at Astoria. Mr. Hayes was commis
sioned second lieutenant at the Pre
sidio.
ERNEST NAIL RECOVERING
Ernest ("Spike”) Nail, junior in
the University last year, is now re-^
covering from a hard siege of scar
let fever, according to word received <
Tom Klamath Falls. Before he was
:aken sick last summer, “Spike” was
planning to enlist, and it is improb-j
ible that ho will return to the Uni-:
i-ersity this year.

A Fast Horse Would Be Too
Slow For Rastus
Unnecessary Details of Food Sav
ing Plans Are Avoided for
Same Reason.
When A. C. Dixon, vice president
of the Board of Regents, was appoint
ed head of the food saving campaign
for Lane county he wrote Portland
headquarters, telling them the story
of the darky who was examined at
the training camp and accepted.
“Boss, Ah’d like to ask a favah,’’ |
said the negro.
“All right, Rastus; what is it?”
“Ah’s willing to do whatevah you
ask, but ah doan’ want to go in no
cavalry.”
“Why not?”
“Well, boss, when dat ordah to re
treat comes, ah jess doan want to be
bothehed with no hoss.”
Mr. Dixon told headquarters that
he wanted to get right to work, that
he understood the job, and that Eu
gene didn’t want to be bothered with
waiting for headquarters.
When Mr. Dixon appointed Jimmy
Sheehy chairman of the student com
mittee, he found a similar readiness
to go ahead without coaching. Shee
hy said that if the students took
charge they would put it through and
they would need no prompting from
anywhere.
UNIFORMS RENDER 30,000 MEN
ALMOST INVISIBLE IN DISTANCE
Former Oregon Student Sends Item
of Interest from San Francisco
Training Camp.
A letter from a former Oregon stu
dent, now enlisted in active service
with the University ambulance corps
at the San Francisco Barracks, bears
this bit of inteijesting information
which is allowed to be published.
“There are over 30,000 men in camp
now. On the drill fields men, may be
seen marching as far as the eye can |
reach. Some are uniformed and some!
are not. In the distance the olive
drab of the uniforms makes it impos
sible to distinguish the men at first
sight. This, it is readily understood,
was one of the reasons why the color
was selected.”
The letter was a personal one and
the name is withheld from publica
tion. The writer is at present on
guard duty.
3,374 VOLUMES ADDED TO U. LIBRARY
Room Made for New Books by Send
ing Back Government Documents.
Three thousand three hundred sev
enty-five volumes have been added to
the University library since June.
This number does not include the pa
pers, magazines and pamphlets placed
an file. To help make room for these!
new books, duplicates have been sort
3d over and many government docu
ments returned.
Regarding the desired improve
nments of last year, which included
new steel stacks, tables and chairs,!
nothing has been done. This, ac- !
wording to M. H. Douglass, librarian,
s due to the need of money in other i
lirectlons.
Though fewer students are using the'
ibrary than last year, more books
ire being used, according to Mr. Doug
ass.
