FIVE WEEKS’ INSTRUCTION IN PA
PER WORK IS PLAN; CLASS
TO FINISH HERE NEXT
WEEK
Members Will Visit Industrial ane
Commercial Plants in
Portland.
As soon as mustered in, it waf
learned here unofficially this week
the men now registered in the ord
nance stores course, School of Com
merce, will go into the government
arsenal at San Antonio, Texas, where
they will receive five weeks’ instruc
tion in ordnance accounting paper
work.
Prof. C. C. Jeremiah, instructor in
the course, was officially notified by
telegram from the War Department
on Moriay morning to organize a sec
ond class in stores handling about
November 15.
This means that the second clas
will be formed and begin its work
immediately upon the completion of
tlie course by the present class.
The War Department apparently has
not determined whether or not to limit
the second and future classes to 50
members, as was done in the first
class. Professor Jeremiah now is in
communication with the officials of
the department at Washington, D. C.,
and hopes to secure a decision on this
point within a few days.
Could Fill Class Twice.
As a matter of fact, he has more
than enough applications to fill the
class twice over if the present axi
mum is to be retained. More than
115 applications had been received on
Monday morning, with new inquiries

coming in with every mail. Professor
Jeremiah believes that he can han
dle a class of from 75 to 80 men here
on the campus, provided the Govern
ment furnishes an additional instruc
tor. It is understood that a commis
sioned officer will be sent from Wash
ington to assist Mr. Jeremiah in some
of the details of the work before the
next class is started.
The present class virtually will com
plete its work on the campus by the
end of next week. After that period
most of their time will be taken up
with visits to industrial and commer
cial plants in Portland and with prep
arations for their departure for ac
tive military service.
To Inspect In Portland.
Profesor Jeremiah was in Portland
last week and arranged for an inspec
tion by the class of the following place

storing them, distributing them, and

way, Light and Power Company; the1
Assembling Plant of the Ford Motor;
Co.; Fleischner & Mayer, wholesale (
dry goods; Meier & Frank, depart
ment store.
Visits to Begin November 5.
The men will begin their visits to
these plants on Monday, November 5.,
The class will be divided into six,
groups. Each group will spend half j
a day in each plant. The groups will j
rotate from plant to plant so that at
the end of-three days every man will i
have visited each of the institutions.!
Professor Jeremiah will accompany
the class to Portland and will have!
general supervision of them while
there. I
The men will return to Eugene on f
the completion of their work and will'
receive their final instructions, phys
ical examinations and class room
texts, and will then be mustered into
federal service. It is probable that
this latter ceremony, will be performed
by one of the local recruiting officers.

MARKET SPECIALIST IS
GUEST OF UNIVERSITY
DR. W. L. BEERS. OF MONTANA,
.. INQUIRES AT SCHOOL OF COM
MERCE AS TO SELLING
METHODS IN OREGON
After Visit to Farming Sections, He
Plans to Make Report at Mis
soula.
Dr. W. L. Beers, market specialist
for the University of Montana, vis
ited the campus Monday morning and
inquired at the School of Commerce
regarding marketing njethods used
by Oregon producers.
Dr. Beers is making a survey of
marketing conditions and marketing
practices throughout the Northwest
ern states, and hopes from the knowl
j edge that he gains to apply an effec
| tive marketing system in Western
Montana, where, he says, immense
: quantities of fruit and vegetables an
nually go to waste, because they can
not reach the consumer.
Interested in Prune Drying.
Western Montana, he reports, has
not yet developed a modern and effec-,
tive means of drying and preserving
horticultural and garden products so
| successfully used in Oregon. He is
particularly interested in a prune dry-;
ing system in use in the Willamette
valley, and also expects to study the
vegetable and fruit drying plants more
recently established at The Dalles,
at Salem, and elsewhere in the state.
Before returning to Montanlai he
will visit some of the agricultural j
communities of Eastern Washington,
and will embrace all his observations'
in a comprehensive report soon to be
| submitted to the university of his
! state. ‘‘This report,” said Dr. Beers,
; ‘‘is to become the basis of a recom
mendation to the farmers of Western
Montana, who expect to have an ef
fective means of utilizing their by
products before next season’s crop
i is harvested.”
1 Former Clergyman Now Farmer.
Dr. Beers is a former clergyman,
but ill health a few years ago forced
him to take up life on a ranch. Hav
ing been a student of economics and
sociology all his life, and a graduate
of Brown University, his talents nat
urally caused him to view with more
or less concern the utter lack of mar
keting organization among the Mon
tana farmers, he says. Consequently
he was persuaded by officials of the
University to make a special study
of this subject. He advises that the
need for scientific activity in this line
is so great that lie may possibly de
vote a large part of his future life
to the work.
Dr. Beers is a member of the Phi
Delta Theta fraternity and was en
tertained at luncheon on Monday by
! tlie members of the local chapter.
STUDENT MISSIONARY VOLUNTEERS ELECT
Eight Members of Last Year's Group
Back; Thienes, President.
At a meeting of the student volun
teers for the foreign mission field,
held at Miss Goldie Wells’ residence,
828 East Twelfth street, the follow
ing officers were elected: Clinton
Thienes, president; Goldie Wells, vice
president; and Helene Reed, secretary
treasurer. Reorganization is under
way, and in a short time work will be
taken up.
“Wre have about half of last year’s
organization, back,” said Clinton
Thienes. “Six have gone to war, two
are now teaching, and two have en
tered medical schools; but there are
eight old members back to assume
the work of reorganization. So far
we have received one application for
membership, but expect more in the
near future.”
The object of the student volunteers
is to stimulate an interest in the work
of the foreign missions and lend a
willing hand in its support, according
o Mr. Thienes.

Floyd Ellis, a freshman member of

Henry Eickhoff, who this year en-|

TAK EPLACE OF 11 OLD MEM
Three possible trips are under con
sideration for the club this winter, ac
cording to Don Roberts, manager. One
plan is to follow the route through
southern Oregon which was played
successfully by the girls’ glee club
last spring. Another would include
Portland, Astoria and the military
camps around the mouth of the Co
lumbia, where many old Oregon stu
dents are now stationed, especially
at Fort Stevens. The third route pro
posed is to The Dalles, Pendleton,
Baker City and other eastern Oregon
points.
Eastern Trip Favored.
Sentiment of the club favored the
eastern Oregon trip at a meeting of
the club last Thursday afternoon,
when Roberts first mentioned the pro
posed routes. No definite action has
been taken.
Members of the glee club this year
are as follows:
Second Bass—Harold White, Irving
Rowe, old men, and Norval Thompson,
Maynard Harris, Perry Arant and
Stanley Fenton, new men.
Baritone—Curtiss Peterson, of last
year’s club, and Jack Montague, Paul
Spangler, Julian Leslie, Henry Eick
hoff and D. McClain, new members.
Second Tenor—Don Roberts, Melvin
Solve, Thurston Laraway, Floyd Ellis,
Arnold Koepke and John Flinn.
First Tenor-—William Haseltine,
William Morrison, Harold Grey, Merle
Moore, and Graham Smith.

jured. Neither Hunter nor Macey
could show up for practice last night.
The whole squad came back in pret
ty poor condition, as they had only
three weeks to get in shape for the
game. Besides Hunter and Macey,
"Dot” Medley and Arthur Berg are
still on the hospital squad. Medley's
hip was so bad at Pullman that he
did not even don a uniform. Berg's
shoulder is still giving him trouble.
Eleven Win Letters.
Letters were won by eleven men
Saturday. Only one man—Bas Wil
liams—won his second letter. The
other players all secured their “O” for
the first time. The fortunate ones
are: Dow Wilson, Anderson, Williams,
Nelson, Macey, Maddock, Leslie, Hunt,
Steers, Couch and Cook.
Hunter, Tregilgas and Berg will
have to either play one ful half ori
parts of two halves to get the coveted
emblem.
Little is known of the Idaho team
other than that they weigh about the
same as the ’varsity and are pretty
fast. O. A. C. heat them by a score
of 26 to 6 last week, which would
seem to give Oregon an even chance.
Bezdek will have to build his team
o'-er again before Saturday, however,
on account of the men out from inju
ries. George Cook will probably get
a chance at fullback if Hunter is un
able to get in the fracas, and McCrea
dy or Tregilgas will iccupy Macey’s
place at guard.
