I WIIAT IS THE COLLEGE MAN’S DUTY?
Thirty-three men, one-third of the men enrolled, have with
drawn from the University since Thanksgiving vacation to en
list in various branches of the Army and Navy. At this rate
what is to become of the University, already depleated of men
I capable of leadership, by reason of experience and training, in
student affairs? And, aside from this consideration, are the men
doing the wise thing?
Oregon’s patriotism is not to be questioned. Already near
ly <500 young men who called the University Alma Mater have
flocked to the colors—have given up their education, their busi
ness, or their homes, and have done so willingly, because they
thought they were needed. Should the United States request the
I services of more college men Oregon would offer every man, but
that is {just what the officials in Washington do not want. Time
and again President Wilson and Secretary Raker have admon
ished college men to stay with their work, advising them that by
continuing their education they are doing a greater service than
by enlisting. “Wait for the draft,” is the advice of nine out of
I ten military men in the country to college men.
But “wait for the draft” is just what the majority of college
men today do not want to do, judging from appearances. On the
campus there is a feeling of unrest and, while all of the men ad
mit that they can see no stigma attached to waiting to be drafted,
most of them fear that in the draft army they will not be assign
l ed to the service for which they are the best fitted. To these men
the Emerald would say, “Get a copy of the complete draft regu
lations and read them carefully, especially the parts relative to
!he selection and assignment of men to the service for which they
ire best fitted.” If, after studying thoroughly the draft regula
tions, a man feels that he is chosing the right path when he en
lists, then he should by all means enlist. But let him first be sure
that his reasons for doing so are patriotic and not selfish.
Not for a minute would the Emerald seek to disuade a man
from doing his full duty, but what is his duty? What is your
duty? Are you doing a greater service to your country when
you enlist, or when you heed the request of the President of the
United States and continue your education ns long as possible?
When this war has passed there is going to be a demand for col
lege trained men never before equalled, a demand fully as impor
ant from a patriotic standpoint as the present call to arms.
University men, consider all of these things carefully: then
Tcide for yourself and let no man turn you from what you con
sider your duty to your nation—the consideration alone should
influence you. Should you elect to go. remember that the Uni
versity of Oregon stands behind you to the last. If you stay, the;
desire and sole aim of the University becomes that of preparing j
vou to be of the greatest service to your country when you are1
called.
WE’LL NEED YOU NEXT YEAR. COACH!
lemomo.v night Conch Hugo Bezdek leaves for California
■ 1 preparation of the Mare Island Marine team for
v itli the Allentown Ambulance corps eleven at Pasa
^ ear’s Day. He will not return to Eugene after the!
■ ill continue on to Chicago, where he will spend the:
'■ hng to the provisions of the leave of absence grant-'
\ the University last year.
■- year ( oncli Bezdek did what looked to be the impossl-j
l r> in an aggregation of players that knew practically noth
u of football he developed a team which was counted in the
coast championship race until the last and, in so doing, gave im
petus to the campus spirit that should carry the University
through an abnormal year under nearly normal conditions. With
out the stimulation of healthy interest in football, campus life to
many would have been destructive of the very spirit which the
l Diversity is expected to foster. A brand of football one mite
lower in standard than that developed by Coach Bezdek would
have been as bad as none at all. That one center of interest tided
the University over a period more critical than most students
realize and started things right along a path made exceptionally
d'M iouU by war condit ion.*.—With the completion crU-thc football
season a slump in student interest is already being evidenced by
the many who are withdrawing from the University to enlist.
However, student body affairs are now sufficiently well ad-1
vanced to insure a continuation of the usual activities through
out the year.
Next year the situation promises to be even more serious,
than it has been since September. There will be fewer old
students without doubt and far weaker ties binding the students
together. Football must again carry the burden of awakening the
Oregon Spirit and infuse into it the “old fight.” It will take
more than a mediocre team to do this and it will necessitate an
A-l coach and one who undersands campus conditions and tradi
tions.
Coach, you are the man. The students are back of you 900
strong; the alumni is back of you and the University is back of
you. The question on every tongue when October 1 rolls around
again will be, “Is ‘Bez’ Back?”

"Our duty to our neighbor is not to

(Stevenson), is a motto that everybdoy
should put into actual practice.” said
Mrs. Allen. “Couuected with that is an
other motto that would fit in. 'If I am

only for myself what good am I? If not
now, when?’"
"And." continued Mrs. Allen, "the
vxord service is one that is being used
a great deal at present and that is often
used In the wrong sense.
"To use the word ‘service* correctly
.'oil must keep yourself fit as well as
paiu a deep and true undertsanding of
your associates and neighbors."
