POWER GIVEN COL BOWEN _ Commandant to Arrange Class es, Fix Credits and Hours; No Drill Saturday. Drill at the University will be taken up this terra under the rules and regula tions of the United States Reserve Of ficers’ training camps. At a meeting of the committee on mili tary affairs recently, a resolution was introduced which read as follows: "It is the sense of this committee that we are carrying out the order of the board of regents in instituting drill at the University, by establishing a course in military instruction, which shall re quire as its minimum the requirements of the Reserve Officers’ training camps.” The committee gave full authority to the commandant of students, in the per son of Colonel AVilliam H. C. Bowen, to institute such classes and courses as he jnay deem necessary, fixing their credits, and their hours. Time Asked Is Minimum As the requirements now stand, drill will be done away with on Saturday mornings, but will be taken by all stu dents on all five class days for 36 min utes, which is the minimum time required . by the rule governing the training camps. The drill must be taken in periods amounting to three hours a week. By dividing this up into five periods of 36 minutes, all requirements can be met, and the drill will not have to be given on Saturday mornings. ‘‘We are leaving it up to the com mandant,” said Karl Onthank, yester one will be required to take the courses, in extra training as he wishes. He will have complete charge of the military af fairs—that is what we got him for.” “If the Saturday classes are taken up it will be by volunteer students only,” he continued. Probably special instruc tion will be given at this time, but no one will be requiredto take the courses. “No credits will be given—at least not until next term—because the time remaining is so short. The granting of credits will be entirely up to the com mandant, as he is the man in charge.” inLE OEM BONES Faculty Minstrel Show to Be All-Star Attraction.

The “line” will be made up of a triple quartet, who will waTble old time negro melodies and folk songs. The important place of the interlocutor has not been filled as yet, but the pro moter will make this announcement soon.

Next, he was scheduled to arrive dur ing the month following. Next, it was reported that he would be here during the Thanksgiving vaca tion. Now, he is said to be on the way. Karl Onthank, secretary to President Campbell, said yesterday that he had at last received a cable from the colonel, stating that he had been released from service, and will be here as soon as possible. , “He will probably stop in Washington, D. C., on his way across the continent,” said Onthank. “but should be here by the time that the Christmas holidays are over.” “Yes, he should be here.” ALEX PEARSON TO STUDY AVIATION AT BERKELEY Senior Is One of Four to Pass Exams in Seattle; Received Commission at First Presidio Camp.

The sophomore class showed their superiority over the freshmen, when they were victorious, with a score of 3—0, in the annual freshman-sophomore soccer game, Tuesday afternoon. In the first period the ball was al most constantly in freshman territory. Due to the defensive playing of Bill Steers and Dwight Parr, the freshmen were unable to bring the sphere beyond the center of the field, while the second yard forward line continually rushed it to their opponents’ goal posts. The lopsidedness of the ball made the reg istering of goals difficult this period. Madden managed to place the necessary “English” on the pigskin on but one occasion, and the half ended with the sophomores ahead, with one goal. The freshmen kicked off at the be ginning of the second period. The freshman backfield, consisting of Leslie, Trowbridge and Jacobberger, was kept busy booting the ball from in front of the frosh goal, but the sophomore offensive was too strong for the first-1 year men. Only twice during the period did the frosh bring the ball near the sophomore line, and on both occasions Margason booted it for out of danger. Madden scored all three goals made in both periods. Bain and Kelleher showed some strong offensive work al so, while Steers and Parr were placed at defensive. For the freshmen. Leslie, Jacobberger and Schmeer played the most consistent game. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦{ ♦ RALLY! RALLY!

Protection has been secured from the "powers that be.’’ so it is assured that the municipal eye will wink at the numerous illegal operations to be per petuated next Friday night, at the frosh smoker. With the nssuranee of enough money to enable each and every green-capper present to gnmble away liis time and free money at any of the various games of slim chance, that will be in operation, every imaginable device for the squan dering of the frosh smoker currency will be in full operation. All this will transpire through a haste of smoke, closely resembling a gns at tack on the German trenches. “Mis souri meerschaums” and the fragrant weed will be plentiful, so the most loyal members of the “Jim’me Club” will be capable of having a good time. Faculty protection has been obtained by the presence of Dr. Lwndsbury and Dean Walker, so the “roof’s off” and ‘the sky’s the limit.” "I drink, I smoke, I dance, I gamble,” is the slogan of the evening. This is the twelfth consecutive year for this event, and everything is ready for the big “blowout" Friday night.

Each Receives Five Boxes of Apples for Essays at Spokane Show. How would you like to have five boxes of the choicest kind of apples come to you ns a perfect surprise? That is whlat 1ms happened to two mem bers of Miss Julia Burgess’ Englisn composition classes, Harris Ellsworth and Mrs. Marguerite Dallas. The boxes of apples came to them as pri7.es for essays submitted to the Na tional Apple show, held at Spokane, November 19-24. The essays were on different phases of apple consumption, .and were assigned by Miss Burgess, ns part of the regular Eniglish work. Only five prizes were given by the apple show; entries came to them from all •over the country, and two of the prizes came to Eugene. Gixes Box to Teacher Ellsworth gave one of his boxes of npples to Miss liurgoss and her English ilwsses feasted on them yesterday. Mrs. Dallas’ boxes were delayed in iship nient. Ellsworth is naive in his relight over the surprise of actually winning a prize. “I was certainly surprised,’ he said, “because you see, I had forgotten all .about writing the essay.” He kept two •boxes of the apples to share with his Kappa Sigma brothers, and sent the other two home to his parents in Cas cade Locks. Ellsworth’s essay was a unique one for a boy to write, for he gave a complete luncheon inetfu, with apples only, as the bill oi f ire. “It was clev erly written,” said Miss Burgess yes terday, “and well deserved a prize. Mrs. Dallas' essay was entitled ‘.Ile-e Am I, Says the Apple,” and consists of witty dialogue. Other Good Essays Submitted The five prizes awarded by the apple show went to Lis Angeles. California, St. Moline, Illinois, Bellefontains, Cali fornia, and two to Eugene. A prize was also offered for a slogan, this going to Almira, Washington.
