PHONES Manager 177-J News and Editorial Rooms 655 Editor 841 Business Office 1197 SHALL IT BE IN VAIN? Saturday the board of regents of the University meets to decide upon the tendered resignation of Allen H. Eaton- from the faculty. Upon them rests the responsibility of furthering or hindering the patriotic services which have been launched and are to be launched by the students and faculty of the University. Wednesday the students took the annual pledge to the state and with It, ’ more important at this time, they pledged their services and their lives, if necessary, to the nation. They pledged their unreserved service toward bringing the war to such an end that the world may forever be freed of the Prussian threat of militarism. They pledged that, ask what our government may of them, Oregon students will lead in putting it across. This pledge they took with their minds entirely awake to its seriousness and with their eye^j fully open to the sacrifices which it may necessitate. To most of them the op portunity of serving their country at arms has been denied, and they are pre> paring themselves for that branch of service in which they may best serve the cause of democracy. Others are those whose patriotism is of thel strongest— strong enough to withstand accusation of being "slackers” and continue with their college work as requested by President Wilson and the War Department. Already mean and lowly criticism of the able-bodied men of the University j who have chosen this harder course of service to their country has been started by enemies of the institution. Tliie ordnance course, conducted under the direction of the War Department itself, has been termed a sham behind' which the men enrolled In it are hiding to escape duty on the firing line. So far, circulation of (his dastardly lie has , sen confined to localities and has not been received seriously by other than the few prejudiced Individuals whose sole object in life appears to be opposition i ' anything operating to tine ad vantage of anyone save themselves, even wh- -e the interests of their nation are at stake. Its self-evident falsity and the < >mbating influence of the num ber of men the University has already sent, o the colors and the whole hearted manner in which they have met every temand made upon their patri otism, all have noted to sustain the trust of tilt people) in the attitude ©f the institution toward the war. In the case of Mr. Eaton, the people of the state have sketched a cleaT case by which the University is to be judged. Mr. Eaton attended the Chicago meeting of tho People’s Council for Democracy and Terms of Peace, thereby branding himself in the eyes of the public as a member of an organization which would handicap the government in the prosecution of the war. In his statements to the public, made since the filing of charges of disloyalty against him by the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, he has not been able to convince the people at largo of his sincerity. Tlioy look to the board of regents for ufllrniativo action upon Mr. Eaton’s resignation. Should the board of regents decline to accept Mr. Eaton’s resignation, and in doing so fail to lay before the people of the state convincing proof of Ills patriotism and loyalty, then must all of the pledges of loyalty and service made by the students fall upoitl deaf ears throughout, the state. At the CMcagO1 meeting Mr. Eaton acted in his private capacity as a citizen. Yet, he Is a member of the University faculty and is Judged upon that standing. ^ DRAMATIC CUSSES 10 HIVE A FOIL PROERUM PROF. A. F.

With 13 new members out of a total of 20, the University orchestra made its first appearance of the col lege year at the assembly Wednes day morning. The selection offered by Miss Winifred Forbes, conductor, for the occasion was the familiar and beautiful “Marche Pontificate,” by Gounod. As yet the organization has been able to hold only one rehearsal. “The classes are larger than last year,” said Miss Forbes, “but many of the newcomers are comparatively inexperienced. The wa?1 has robbed us of some of our most finished play ers, who are now in the service of the country. However, some of the new material is promising, and the outlook for our sixth season is bright.” Following is the makeup of the or chestra as at present constituted: First violins: Alice Van der Sluis, Genevieve Rowley, Gail Roberts, Al berta Potter, John Hughston, A. D. McClain; second violins: Ada Mc Murphey, Byron Garret, Maude Sar gent, Jennie McGuire, Edna Rice; clarinet, L. Bain; cello, Glenn Macey; bass. Prof. F. S. Dunn; piano, Charles Runyon; flute, F. V. Badellot; cor nets, Morris Morgan, Revel Moore; trombones W. Parsons, Earl Voorhies; tympani, N. Hammersley. ANGLO-SAXON IDEALS FOUNDED DN SIDLE This Fact Give Adequate New Reason For Study of It, Says Miss Watson. “What right have we, in this day of rusli to meet the many demands of life, to take time to study the Bible?” was the question asked by Miss Mary Watson, Wednesday, at the Y. W. C. A. meeting. She led up to her answer by saying that there are many ways of service and many ways of preparation. More earnestness and cate is shown in study this year than ever before, said Miss W’atson. We are engaged in the present war because we believe that 'Anglo-Saxon culture surpasses Ger man kultur. It is more democratic, lias deeper love and consideration for fellow-beings, is devoted more to the upbuilding of the spirit than to ma terial tilings and has a greater re spect for womanhood and individu al rights. And Anglo-Saron culture is based on the Bible. Our responsibil ity, according to the speaker, is to know these ideals, think them through and be able to defend them, these principles of Anglo-Saxon culture. After Miss Watson’s talk. Miss Dins dale, student secretary, and Mildred Garland, told of the Bible study class es which are soon to be started. TWO MEMBERS OF FICTLTY HONORED Dr. Schafer and Dr. Smith Named as Sponsors for New Work.

ME AND CULTURE AIM OF MIHSTIC EDUCATION _____ zf' ’ f " ; A. H. SCHROFF, HEAD OF ART DE PARTMENT, SAYS STUDENTS SHOULD DEVELOP ES THETIC SENSE. Courses in Applied and Theoretic De sign, Sculpturing and Painting Each Have Purpose. Not to make the artist, but to stim ulate general taste and culture; to de velop the esthetic instinct of a stu dent so that it might be valuable in after life—is the aim of the art de partment, says its head, Professor A. H. Schroff. “There are various phases of art which may be taken up,” said he. “First, there are two forms of design to be studied—the theoretic and the applied design. Then there are class es in sculpturing on stone with chis els and mallets. This is valuable in so far as it develops the instinct for form. In a line with this we may take up the modeling in clay, which is co ordinate with that of sculpturing.” “Lecture courses,” he continued, “may be had which cover the general history of civilization, as it pertains to artistic development of peoples. It embodies political, religious and spir itual evolution of man but always with reference to artistic develop ment. “There is a course in water color ing, which is the study of plant and still life—the combination of effective colorings. “The art department is becoming better equipped every year. It now has a line equipment of historic casts, acquiring photos and valuable books on art. “Although the department will not make artists, it should be remembered that every student who wants general culture should study art.” SERGEANT BELDIN6 BACK FOR SHORT STAY Ex-Trackman On Visit Reports Stu dents in Artillery in Fine Shape.

ONE-HALF OF TEA DRINKERS RECKLESS “Bottoms Up” Reveals Sugar Waste in Fifty Per Cent of Cups. After-dinner inspection of the tea cups in one of the eating places on the campus revealed the fact that about one-lialf of the tea drinkers put a great deal more sugar into their cups than is dissolved in the tea. Of the thirty-odd cups in the room, sixteen had a deposit of undissolved sugar an eighth to a quarter inch deep of which the diner had gotten no benefit what ever, and which was, therefore, pure waste. For this one meal the amount of sugar wasted in this house would ag gregate one-third pound. Estimated on this basis this house wastes 90 pounds of sugar during each college year. If we assume that this is an average group, the students of the University, collectively, waste one and one-half tons of sugar during the nine months they spend in Eugene. This amount of sugar would supply all the soldiers and sailors enlisted from the State of Oregon for a week. Its value in money is §2S5. “Food conservation means the elim ination of waste,” says W. B. Ayer, state food administrator. MISS PRATER LEAVES OREGON. Miss Edith Prater, stenographer for President Campbell, leaves tonight for Washington. D.
