FIVE TO GET FURLOUGHS FOR HOMECOMING VISIT Several Members of Second Company Will Be Allowed to Return to Alma Mater. Only five of the fifty students en listed in the second company Oregon coast artillery stationed at Fort Stev ens will be permitted to return to the University for Homecoming Saturday, because of an army regulation which prevents more than five per cent of any command from being given furloughs at the same time. The information was received at the president’s office from Colonel O. C. Hammond, commander of the fort, at the mouth of the Columbia, in re sponse to a request made by the Uni versity that ns mnny furloughs bo grant ed to the old University men ns possible that they might return to their nlnm mater for the Ilomocomlng program. Colonel Hammond wrote that ho had ordered that five of the Oregon men in the Second company bo given fur loughs regardless of priority of fur lough privilege. Only former students or graduates of the University will be given furloughs from Second company during the coming week-end. Because of the favorable attitude tak en by the colonel, it is believed that a much larger percentage of old Univer sity men scattered, a few men in a company, in other branches of the ser vice will he able to return to the Uni versity this week. Requests similar to that sent Colonel Hammond have been sent to other com manders of training camps and forts in Oregon and Washington. There arc about two hundred Uni versity men in militnry service, who are now serving within visiting distance of the University, either in Washington or Oregon.
