$1036 PLEDGED TO
FRIENDSHIP FUND:
PROMISESTILLMORE
University Students Show Real
Spirit in Giving to $2000
Quota.
GIVES UP MONTHLY CHECK
TO HELP BOYS AT FRONT
Numerous Ways Are Used to
Raise Money: Some Give
Up Clothes, Others,
Hard Cash.
Wi^h $1036 pledged and about one
third of it paid, the prospects are bright
that Oregon will meet her apportionment
of $2000 and perhaps exceed it, in the
Million Dollar campaign for the Stu
dents Friendship War Fund.
A. T. O. was the first house to get all
pledges in. The girls of Mary Spiller
hall intend to pledge $5.50 each as far
as possible. If everyone does as well Dr.
Doney’s phophecy that Oregon will give
$5000, will be realized. Kappa Kappa
Gamma is trying the same plan.
University students are displaying real
fibre in the way they are giving. One
student assistant turned over his check
for a month's salary. A co-ed whose
dearest desire was to own a “ukie” gave
every cent that she had been carefully
laying aside in her “ukie” fund. Another
has given up her Thanksgiving trip home
to give the railroad fare, while another
is selling some of her jewelry to get
money to give.
Many students who receive just
enough money for school expenses and
who thought they could give nothing are
finding ways to give, which mean definite
sacrifice on their parts. Aside from those
already mentioned other things being
given up to obtain money for the war
fund include dress shoes, pleasure trips,
clothes, spreads, theatre and books.
The faculty have pledged o nthe aver
age of $25 apiece.
For students who desire to give and
have no money but would like to earn
some to give there are at least a dozen
jobs to be had by applying at the Uni

Aims for $4,000.
The work of the Y M. C. A. in war
time was the subject of Dr. Carl C.
Doney’s address to the students of the
University of Oregon at W ednesday s
assembly. Dr. Doney is the president
of Willamette University, and is devot
ing himself to war relief
“Let ns consider the case of the av
erage high-spirited, clean-minded young
man,” said Dr. Doney. "He has been
planning for an education, and to en
gage in some honorable work. All of
you students know how precious these
dreams and ambitions are. Then comes
the call to arms. The boy sacrifices
everything that is dear to him—hopes,
aspirations, comfort, social intercourse,
to become one unit in the forces of his
country.
“Touching, heartwringing farewells
are said, and he leaves for his canton
ment. When he arrives, tired, lone
some, still sad from those farewells, the
first one to greet him is the Y. M.
secretary. This kindly individual in
vites him to drop in at the Y. M. tent
as soon as he gets his uniform and is
assigned to his company. In the tent,
says the secretary, he will find games,
stationery, music, and friendly com
panionship. The new soldier brightens
up—somebody cares nfter all!

at the gymnasium Saturday night.
Arrangements have been made to
get the snappiest “jazz" music in
Eugene, and the snap— that is the
most exhilarating punch, to be had,
for the occasion.
Lynn McCready, chairman of the
dance committee, is authority for
the statement that this dance will
put all other stepping parties so
far in the shade that a tropical
sun couldn't bring them out.
The price? Twenty-five miserable

LURE OF SCREEN FAILS
TO ATTRACT FAIR CO-EDS
Marine Recruiting Ofifcer Fails to Gath
er University Women Before Movie
Camera to Advertise Service.
Fair co-eds of the University picked
by Lieutenant McClasky, head of the
San Francisco Marine recruiting office
and publicity manager on the Marines’
football tour, to pose for moving pic
tures which were to depict University
women leaving their collegian compan
ions to flock to the uniformed marines
Tuesday, refused Tuesday to act before
the Marine camera.
The girls did not like to help in
Lieutenant McClasky’s publicity cam
paign, although they were perfectly will
ing to be seen on the campus with the
visitors, four of whom are old Oregon
men. But the lure of the screen! It
had no appeal for the Oregon women. |
Moving pictues taken on the present
tour of the Marines’ team will be shown j
all along the Pacific coast as part of an
advertising campaign for enlistment in
this branch of service. It is still neces
sary for the Marines to advertise to
secure enlistments because, unlike other
branches of military service, the Mar
ines receive no drafted men.
Lieutenant McClasky puts an esti
mated value on the total publicity which
will be received by the Marines because
of their football team nt $100,000.
GRAD TRIES FOR PRESIDIO
Sergeant Reader Stetsen. ’13, at Stev

Reader Stetson. ’13, who lias been
practicing law in Astoria since liis com
pletion of a post-graduate course at
Stanford, and who is now first sergeant
of the Astoria company. Oregon coast
artillery, stationed at Fort Stevens, will
try for entrance to the third Presidio
training camp.
Recommendation from President
| Campbell, of the University, has been
forwarded to Mr. Stetson, to he used in
the presentation of his claim for en
trance to the camp.
For three years during his college
course at the University, Stetson was
on the Oregon inter-collegiate debate
team. In his senior year lie was a
member of the team which defeated Stan
ford in a debate which created wide
interest on the coast. Washington was
defeated by Oregon in the same year.
EARLE IN ORDINANCE CLASS
Former Oregon Student Resigns Coach
ing Job to Enter Second Corps.
Robert (Boh) Earle, former Univer
sity of OteyoL student and a member
of the tootba’l squad during the 1015
season, lias res’gned as coach of the
Lincoln High School football team and
will enter the second ordnance corps at
the University. Earle took over the
Lincoln squad late in the season and. al
though hampered by injuries, moulded
a team that proved stronger than critics
expected. Earle succeeded Stanley Bor
leske, Irother of Vincent Borleske, of
Whitman, when the former Lincoln
coach er,listed as captain of Company B,
Oregon Engineers.
j UNDERCLASSMEN MAY PLAY
Challenge of Freshmen by Sophomores
Will Start Inter-Class Football.
The sophomores may challenge the
freshmen to an inter-class fotball frame
soon. Dean Walker, who is in charge
of inter-class athletics, promises all the
•flT7r~poag7W^-in the matter of equipment
and will also got~the offlrTads—£ug_the
game.
After Thanksgiving vacation, several
interclass soccer games may be sched
nled. Plans for interclass football, how
ever. are somewhat unsuccessful this
year, owing to the sinsll numb'r of up
perclassmen registered in the University.
LEADER WILL DECIDE
UNIFORMJESTION
Because of Expense, Require
ment Will Not Be Made Un
less Requested by New
Drill-master.
Military Work May Begin Next
Week; Gym Classes Will
Continue as at Present.
Whether or not the students of the
University will wear uniforms at drill
and on the campus this year will be
submitted to the drill master, Colonel
John Leader, who is expected to arrive
in a few days.
The committee which had the subject
under discussion has been unable to
come to a decision, according to Karl
Onthank, secretary to President Camp
bell, for it entails so much expense on
the part of students, some of whom can
not afford it.
May Need Their Old Clothes
“If Colonel Leader gives the students
the kind of work that he might give, it
is probable that he will w/nt the stu
dents to wear their old clothes,” said
Onthank, yesterday. ‘He may give them
some drill in trench warfare, and if so,
the students will not want to wear uni
forms to get them dirty and torn.
“Some of the students cannot afford
to buy the uniforms, so the committee
thought it best to leave the whole matter
up to the* drill master. He will decide
on the type of uniform and the neces
sary equipment, providing that they are
ordered.”
May Arrive This Week
Colonel Leader is expected to arrive
this week sometime, and drill classes
w'll start immediately. The number of
hours ro be given each week have not
as yet been dcided upon, nor has the
time been set. It all depends upon the
kind of drill which will be required.
Besides the regular drill classes, the
men of the University will in all prob
ability be expected to maintain their
regular gymnasium classes, for the reg
ular army men does his setting up ex
ercises as well as the ordinary drill, and
it is the intention of the University to
train the men in the actual army work
as far as it is possible.
WILLIMETTE IS IXT
Frosh to Battle Capital City
Team Saturday.
Will Also Visit State Institution
on Morning Before the
Game.
Saturday morning the frpshmnn foot
ball squad accompanied by Coach Dean
Walker, and Dean Straub, will leave'
for Salem where they are to battle the
Willamette University 'team of thpt
place. Every freshman who has been
out for football all year will be taken
along making a total of over twenty
who will make the trip.
Although the main purpose of the ex
pedition is to play fotball, there is an
other reason for making the trip. Coach
Walker has arranged with the authori
ties to show the members of the team
through the state institutions, namely the
insane asylum and penitentiary. The
party will leave on an early train in
order that they may visit these places
in the morning, thus leaving the after
noon for the game.
Every evening this week Coach Walk
er has been teaching his team new plays.
Instead of practicing with the Varsity
the team has been using the girls’ hoc
key field. No scrimmage has been held
thus far this week as the time has been
givn over entirely to working up a
strong offense for Saturday’s struggle
which according to Walker will be a
stiff battle. Some of the men have not
recovered from the results of the Che
mawa game as yet but as a team they
are in very good condition.
“The chances of winning should be
good unless the unexpected happens,”
the coach said last night. “W ith a few
additional plays, our offensive will be
much stronger than that of the last
game and we will be able to show them
~T7ui HU.i'. Uiig. powers as well as our de
fensive.”
Practically the same men who played in
the Chemawa game will start on Sat
urday. but as so many men are to be

STUDES TO RE- REGISTER
WEEK EARLY ME^T TERM
New Method Adopted Which, It Is
Hoped Will Avoid Usual
Congestion.
Pamphlets announcing new courses or
I rerenuisites for next tern: will have to
he prepared by all departments and off
the press before December 10, if the
new plan for registration is to bo carried
out, says Dr. W. I*. Boynton, chairman
of the committee of lower division ad
virers.
Itegistration rules adopted by the fac
ulty at their meeting last Thursday re
(piire that all students now in the Uni
versity meet their advisers or major
professors and make out their schedule
for the next term a week before the tern
closes. The change in procedure is de
signed to do away with the usual con
gestion.
“According to the new system,” said
Dr. Boynton, “all registration cards
must be filed by Monday, December 17.
All announcements must be ready for
use a week before that time.” Few new
courses wilt be offered the second term,
due to the fact that there will be a con
tinuation in all departments of the
courses started in the first term.
Fish is a good food -eat more of it
instead of meat. Corn-meal makes good
bread—use it instead of wheat. Save
the meat and wheat for the boys at the
front.
Help your boy at the front. I’se less
wheat and meat. Send more to him.
FROSH GET BUSY ON
BONFIRE FOR RALLY
Faculty Sets Dimensions at 15 Feet
This Year; Girls to Serve
Feed.
The freshman arc beginning to gather
together all the wood and lumber, valu
able and otherwise, that they are able
to lay their hands on for the California
game rally on November lb. The af
ternoon stillness of Thirteenth avenue
is broken by the rattle and bang of the
rented lumber-wagon that tears along
the street hauled by a score or more
of yelling frosh.
Already the slackers of the class are
shouting their excuses into the unhenr
ing ear of the bonfire committee. No
excuses are heeded, the honor of the
class must be upheld, so everyone must
work.
Never again will tin' men have to
strain and tug their lumber tip dO, 40,
or even 50 feet to put one over on
the proceeding class. The faculty have
taken the matter over and the dimensions
of the fire are to be 15 feet square at
the base and 15 feet high.
Wednesday afternoon the frosh made
their first trip to Spingfield where they
hope to find great quantities of wood
and lumber that will serv > the purpose.
“On the last three nights of this
week, the girls of the class are going
to serve us midnight feeds, and in this
way we hope to get every one out to
work,” said Joe Hammer: ley. the presi
dent of the class.
CAMPUS GIRLS WIND GAUZE
IN DOWNTOWN RED CROSS
Bandages. Compresses and Surgical
Dressings Are Result gf Dean
Hayes’ Appeal.
University women arc responding
heartily to the call for Ited Cross work
ers made by Dean lla.ves nt assembly
lust 'Wednesday. The bilks’ ball on Sev
enth street, has been filled daily with
Eugene women, and University women
are now swelling the crowd. Surgical
dressings of every kind and< variety are
being made quickly and efficiently.
Mr. Hayes in his talk last week, urged
the girls of the University of Oregon to
devote at least one afternoon a week
to this work. Many girls have already
pledged themselves to do this while some
are giving more than one afternoon.
The work carried on steadily here in
Eugene is tremendous. Upon entering
the downstairs room of the Elks’ ball
one sees table after table, each piled
with tin1 various equipments for the
making of surgical dressings. Around
these long tables are women and girls,
all garbed in the conventional Ited Cross
apron and cap. Some are clipping gauze,
some are folding bandages, others are
pulling threads and cutting and folding
great quantities of soft, white gauze. The
work here is all methodically arranged.
One woman clips gauze, the next pulls
the threads and clips it. the next woman
then folds and packs the gauze, then the
folded piles are taken to another table
where they are steadily made into com
presses or bandages.
The work of war is just beginning to
come home to us. This is hut the small
est part of it all this is the part that
is put tip to the women. The girls
in the University are not in a position
to devote .as much time to this ns they
would like to, but it iH before them con
stantly and each one realizes that, a part
of the week must be regularly put
aside for this pressing need.
No experience is necessary. No ma
terial or equipment is called for. The
Red Cross wants workers and free in
struction is being given to all new
comers.
! SHELTON WRITES OF BIRDS
A. G. Shelton, student assistant in
zoology in the TTnive, sity of Oregon, has
in the latest number of “The Condor,” a
western magazine of ornithology, re
ceived mention on his latest work, “A
Distributional last of the Land Birds
of West Central Oregon.”
Shelton’s article deals with the birds
of a section of central Oregon extend
ing from the Cascades west through the
upper Willamette country to the sen
coast. The area is divided into six
belts or life zones paralleling the sea
coast and mountain as he shows by a
map.
A total of 14” species of land birds
have been listed of which* the most im
portant arc, the Hepburn Rosy Finch,
Alaska I’ine Grosbeak, Alpine Three
toed Woodpecker, and Great Gray Owl.
The Condor asserts the work is “very
welcome” and further states, “inciden
tally we note that the University of
Oregon department of zoology is already
possessed of some valuable material in
l the line of rare birds.”

The $5.15 raised by sale of ice cream
at the recent Women’s League party,
was voted to the Bed Cross at ft meet
ing of the executive committee of the
league, which was held in the Bungalow,
Tuesday at three o’clock. Bed Cross
and the Women's building were sugges
ted as recipients to which it might go
but the committee deemed the Bed Cross
need greater at present.
Campus Work Discouraging
ltuth Westfall, president of the cam
pus Bed Cross auxiliary, gave a report
of the work, saying that a quiet cam
paign for membership is being waged
on the campus but that the work so far
bad been rather diseouraging, as only
about half the number asked had
joined. However, she said the girls are
quite willing to work down town. She
stated that the shortage of yarn is the
great difficulty at present, as there are
fifty girls ready to start knitting im
mediately.
in i t'Kiu u iitt* uimui s imimuiij,
Helene Delano reported that Mrs. (1. T.
Gerlinger had sent out ten thousand
cards. Last Saturday, Louise Manning
and Helene Delano left $4.00 worth of
cards at other nearby towns and will

on the campus, the one selling the most
will win $5.00, which has been offered
by .Mis. tierlingor.
Friendship Loan Started
Dean IClizabeth Fox spoke in regard
to the Friendship loan fund, explaining
the dire need there is for the money.
"At tile meeting of tli campaign commit

Miss Lillian Tingle Gives Rules
for Saving Sweets at First
Lecture of Series on
War Economies.
Substitution of Honey, Corn
Syrup, Glucose and Molasses
Is Recommended.
Students and townspeople people
packed the lecture room in Deady lmll
Wednesday at one, to hear Miss (Lillian
Tingle tell them how they can help
Hoover in the conservation of sugar.
Samples of syrups, molesses, honey
and sorgum were studied as to cost and
palatibllity, and fomulas and recipes
were given whereby they could be used
in the place of sugar.
“Sugar is not necessary,” said Miss
Tingle, “as we can get as much energy
from substitutes. We eat it chiefly for
the flavor and with improvement in cook
ing we dispense with a great deal of it.
Sugar is not needed on cereals but is
used when it is temporarily cooked to
make up for the lack of flavor. Like
wise icing is used on poorly talked cakes
and in poor tea and coffee.”
Miss Tingle explained the use of sugar
in the body and the dangers from over
use. “The college girl is better with a
limited amount of sugar,” she said, “as
shy spoils tier appetite by eating candy
and then doesn’t eat what she needs.”
We use twice as much sugar as France
does, according to Miss Tingle. Three
ounces from all sources is all we should
use a day and preferably two ounces,
as thre is a special need for the con
servation of sugar.
Miss Tingle’s next address will be on
Wednesday on the subject, “Saving of
Fats and Milk.” The lecture will prob
ably be held in Villard hall.
