What is to be the response of the University of Oregon to the Secoiu Liberty Loan? She has given generously of her sons to the Army and Navy site has revolutionized her course of study to meet the demands of the unusua conditions which the Nation is facing; she has grasped the food-saving ides in a manner to attract attention throughout the country—now she faces th« problem of supplying financial aid to the Government. Oregon is not a rich college. Her students, for the most part, are securing their education at the expense of sacrifices made by their parents, or by the work they do outside of school hours. There are a few on the campus whc have the money with which to purchase at least one bond—most of them have not. But, somehow or other, the students will afford to supply their share, and more, of the money needed to carry the war to a successful conclu sion. Nine hundred dollars’ worth of the bonds have already been taken by fra ternities, sororities and other campus organizations and the campaign Is yet but two days old. Before the end of the week the remaining houses and clubs will have made subscriptions expected to double the amount already sub scribed. Each of these subscriptions means some sacrifice cheerfully made, but it does not indicate the length of sacrifice to which Oregon students will go. They only ask that some further means by which they can assist in floating the loan be pointed out, that they may take advantage of it. There are four organizations on the campus whose scope of membership exlends to every students and whose participation in the Liberty Loan would extend to every student the opportunity and satisfaction of having done his, or her share. Let each and every member of the classes contribute what they are able toward the purchase of a bond, or bonds, and let the bonds be pur chased in the name of the class. Through cuBtom, each class as It bids farewell to the University, leaves behind it some memorial. Established as a scholarship, what memorial more fitting than a Liberty bond could any class in the .University during this, the world’s greatest struggle for democracy, leave behind it. H JAPANESE STUDENT TO APPEAR 10 “SOYONARA THRE ONE-ACT PLAYS TO OPEN DRAMATIC SEASON AT GUILD HALL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. Touch of Oriental Realism Given to Story of the Land of Cherry Blossoms. Thursday nlglit will mark the open ing; of Guild hall for this season with the production of three one-act plays given by the members of the clases in dramatic Interpretation, under the direction of l’rof. A. P. Reddle. Toschi Atake, a Japanese girl stu dying in the Eugene Bible University to become a missionary among her own people, will add much to the first of these three plays, “Sayonara,” a Japanese play. Site will play a Jap anese musical instrument during the act and will loud realism to the severe simplicity of the Japanese setting. Throughout the play there will bo Japanese music, under the direction of Miss Ruth Miller, a member of the department and a harpist of some note. Mrs. Catherine Thorne, who takes the part of “Katl-San," was for fifteen years one of the leading Shakespeare an actresses of the country. As she expresses It. she "lias cried on the bo som of every noted Shakespearean star of her day, with the exception of Mansfield." "The Friend of Man,” the second- of these plays, is an allegorical play and will be especially interesting because It was written by J. Frederic Thorne, j a former Eugene newspaperman. "The Stragglers,” a little play full of comedy and pathos, will be the; third. It is a character study of an old veteran of the battle of Waterloo, who when asked what he remembered particularly about the battle, replied that what affected him most was that j he had lost a bet on the outcome. The three plays will be repeated Friday night. The Eugene chapter of the Red Cross is giving the plays its’ support and the net profits will be; turned ove rto the oRd Cross fund to be used as the association seses fit. RECORD REGISTRATION AT O.

M. C. A. The mix will be given Friday night. “There has been some misunder standing as to the character of the program,” said Mr| Macpherson, “and we desire to correct this mistake. There will be no dancing, as was pre viously announced, but a splendid pro gram has been arranged, which will include musical selections and indi vidual stunts.” The general committee for the Y.

A.; and Catherine Johnson, chair man; Helen McDonald, Eve Hutchin son, Nellie Parker and Pearl Craine for the Y. W. C. A. COMMUNICATIONS To the Editor of the Emerald: Now that the regents have held their meeting, I feel that I can speak to the students of the University. . The re* gents have cleared me of the charge of disloyalty to my government brought by the Eugene Commercial club. That is the important thing to me. They have also accepted my resignation from the University faculty. That is a disappointment. But this is what I want the students to know. I want them to know that I appreciate, more than I can say, their attitude toward me during this trying time. Not alone their words, but their cordial greetings, I shall al ways remember. In leaving the Uni versity, I will go not knowing of a single student who feels unkindly to-, ward me. This makes the going a happy one. This happines will not be modified even by the report that is being cir culated away from here, but sent out from Eugene, that the students sent in a strong petition asking for my re moval from the University. I want especially to thank the Em erald for its treatment of this case. It has not been partial to me, but it has been what I like better, it has been fair. I was the editor of the stu dent paper in its second year. It was then called the Oregon Weekly (some times spelled Weakly). I defeated my old time opponent, Ned Blythe, for the position as editor. I know now> that Ned was much better qualified for the job than I was. This has been proved by Ned’s long service as North-' west editor of the Oregonian, whereas I worked as a local reporter for the Oregonian only a little while when Mr. Piper accepted my resignation without asking for it. Ned is now working for a better paper, the Ore gon Journal. He is a fine man and would have been editor of the Weekly if he had been a better politician. When Ned was helping to make the Oregonian a better paper than it is now, he never allowed that fact to af fect his loyalty to the University. He is one of the best friends the Univer sity has. The year I was editor of the Weekly, the editorials were usu ally very good. Most of them were written by Bill Johnson, a classmate of mine. I wished for Bill several times lately. I want to pay the Emerald the great est compliment that could be paid to it by a former editor: the paper is, I believe, as good as when I ran it. Student papers, like other papers, may have many qualities of greatness, but the quality of all others that I like to see my University paper have, is fairness. The Emerald is fair. Cordially yours. ALLEN EATON. AMBULANCE COMPANY WILL PUt FOOTBALL (Concluded from page x.) the Treasury McAdoo to purchase lib erty bonds. To date we have taken more than $3,000 worth of bonds and have set $6,000 as the mark, or one bond of $50 denomination to each man.

Three Motorcycles on Hand. “Among the duties of any ambulance company is to guard the whole med ical and sanitary division, and at this task we have been for the last two weeks. Everybody from buck privates to Major General Greene, commander of cthe 91st division, has been halted by our men at night. Eleven privates have been on duty for the last month examining the thousands of drafted men here.” Styleplus Clothes the same price as always $17.00 and $21.00 Styleplus clothes are all wool, strictly hand tailored and made in st3'les that appeal to particular college men.
