Student of 1885 Asks for Standing. Anna L. Henderson Gets Junior Rating—Dean Straub Re members Her Weil. To come back to one’s Alma Mater after a period of S3 years, and again be a student, will be the experience ol Miss Anna L- Henderson, should she return to the University next fall, She has just been granted junior standing in the University. Miss Hen derson was a student here in 1885, and took about three years of University work. At that time her home was in The Dalles. Dean Straub, the father of every freshman who has entered the portals of the University for the last 37 years, said: “Why, I know Miss Henderson well. She was a fine student, one of the best at that time. She and Anna Coffin were very close friends. Miss Coffin is now in Seattle teaching chil dren from all nations. I would enjoy a good talk with both these girls, and would like to see Miss Henderson come to the University next fall.” After Miss Henderson left the Uni versity she went to eastern Oregon, where she taught school for a while. Later she went to the North Yakima country, in Washington, and started in the fruit business. But after a while her health broke down, and she was forced to give this up. She is now in California Whether Miss Henderson expects to come back to Oregon is not known, al though her request for information as to her standing .is an apparent indica tion of intent to return.

All debates will be npon the same question: “Resolved, That at the close of the present war, the nations of the world should establish an international supreme court, to pass npon all inter national disputes and supported by an international constabulary, to enforce its 1 decrees.” Due to the fact that, the question for merly announced for interfraternity has < been rendered practically undebatahPc* by the speeches of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd-fieorge, the frnterni t ties will debate upon the Varsity ques tion, thus aiding in the accumulation of material. House Competition Keen. The fraternities are showing a good interest in the debates, which will de termine the possession for another year of the trophy now held by the Fijis. Inasmuch as all debates are upon the same question, it has been found neces isaTy to eliminate the members of the Varsity team from the fraternity teams in order to give all teams an equal op portunity in beginning preparations for the debates. The original intention of the forensic council was to hold the alnmni medal contest with the tryouts for the Varsity debate team, but it was found advisable to postpone the contest, as more time will be required for the speeches.

Hazel Radabangh and Leslie Blades Compose New Military March. ‘•I’m in love with the best little sweet heart. And I know that iTU always be true, For I owe her a life of devotion, She's the mistress of ell I do. In her love she has Riven me freedom, fcthe’s a leader who never Roes wrong— Walk with her and you'll always be victor, For she’s brave and she’s true and she’s strong. “There is something in the folds of Old Olory That will help you whatever you do— It's a long, long way to Tipperary, It’s a long, long way to Honolu’, But it's only a step to Berlin, boy. When yon walk with the Red, White and Bine.” These words, written by Ilnzel Rada baugh, and set to music by Leslie Blades, will be submitted by the composers to Colonel John Leader, in the hope that the song will become the official march of the University of Oregon battalion. “If the colonel likes the song,” said Miss Radabnngh, “we will dedicate it to the battalion and have it copy-righted at once. The words are simple, and the music has plenty ’of ‘pep’, so we think that our song might well he adopted for drill purposes. It would make good dunce music also.” Miss Rmlabnugh and Mr. Blades, who composed the song, “Drifting” last year, are the first to respond to a call for songs made by the University. KIL WILL BE BUSY Green Caps May Be Abandoned During Parade Hour. Emerald Worker Emblems to Be Discussed—Dance Com mittee to Be Filled. Tho student council is to meet next Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, in Pro fessor Gilbert's room at the library. It is the first meeting this term, and sev eral matters of importance are to come up. Whether or not the freshmen arc to bo allowed to abandon their green caps during drill hours, is one of the ques tions that is to be decided by the stu dent council. Colonel Lender has asked that the freshmen be allowed to do this, as it will improve the general up pearnnee of the Oregon battalion. At the last meeting of the student council in December, a committee was appointed, of which Harry Crainc is chairman, to draw up an amendment to the constitution of the associated stu dents, which is to provide for some kind of a reward for Emerald workers.

Exemptions Not Asked On Re ligious Grounds; Almost Every Man Out for Military DrilL COLONEL LEADER PLEASED Heavy Student Enlistment: Causes Lack of Men Who Know Tactics. That there arc no conscientious ob jectors to military drill on the camp ns, is shown by the fact that not a single man asked for exemption on that ground. And although section Ova of the draft law exempts divinity stu dents from the draft, and faculty action has initiated the law by exempting them from drill, a large number of Eugene Bible University men have volunteered for military training. ‘'Everyone is tunning out for drill. Both faculty and students have been coming out almost to a man,” declared Lieutenant Colonel Leader. “I am delighted with the spirit shown on the campus and with the hearty co operation I find on every side.” Home Guard Needed. The colonel declared that it is neces sary to drill every able-bodied man, whether he can come up to army re quirements or not. A home guard is essential to minimize the danger of in vasion, and to train recruits. Since enlistment in the national serv ice has been so very heavy from the state of Oregon, there are almost no men left in the state or on the campus who understand military tactics. In the University it was found hard to officer the student battalions because so few men were available who had had mili tary training. The present officers are: Command ant, Lieutenant Colonel John Leader; aeting adjutant. Acting Captain E- W. Allen; assistant acting adjutant. Dean Walker; acting officer in charge of works, E. II. McAlister; and acting of (Continued on page two) Varsity Star Says Ambulance Driving Is Good Work. He Wants to Be Back at Ore gon Again, Though, Instead of Hauling Wounded.

I like it because after driving continuously sometimes for IS hours, without sleep and with little food, and after doing a little get ting oot and getting under when the planes stage a little brittle up there aboot 5S00 feet, and dodging m and out of endless ditches,—it givea me a sense of satisfaction for hmrinr -ip* out alive, for we are never permitted to nse lights on the unbalance ma chines while near the front.” “But,” continues Garrett, 'T long to set foot again among those peaceful surroundings of Oregon, but I mast con tent myself for the present, at least, for this Christmas anyhow, in the work of aiding poor mangled wretches, once stroDg as you and I, Bill—many now older than you, Bill.” In speaking of the weather on the western front at the time of his writ ing, December 1, Garrrett says: "For fonr days the snow has fallen here, and it is freezing every minute— anything but rain, although it reminds me of dear old ^^arretMtekmged to the class of 1916, and attended the University for three years, later taking his senior work at the University of California.
