GIHLS’ BAND ADDS SONG
AND SKITS TO TOOTING
Plans for Concert Trtp Arc Made by
New University of Oregon
0 rganizalioo.
When the women’s band is ready to
make its tour, the co-eds will not only
be able to toot their instruments per
fectly and so be able to give a credit
able band concert, but they will also be
prepared with skits and songs, accord
ing to plans made at the last meeting
of the organization. Thus they expert
to give a program which will appeal te
people of many different tastes.
Committees have not yet been appoint
ed to arrange for the stunts and songs,
but this will probably be attended tc
rt a meeting next Monday night.
That the women’s band is the only
ITlUTgraity hand, since the men’s has
been transformed into the Military band
was emphasized at the meeting by Direc
tor Albert Perfect Due to this facl
he urged the members to give as much
time as possible to practice. "We may
be asked to go on some trip when
they wiD guarantee us only the expenses
of 20 members, and the ones who have
worked the hardest would naturally be
the ones to go,” he said.
The band was asked to play at the
patriotic meetings on Saturday, but due
to the fact that Mr. Perfect will be it
-barge of the other two bands present
ind because several of the members
would be unabie to come, it was thought
wise to decline.

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.

much to their influence. At the World’s
Columbian Exposition at Chicago in
1893, he took many medals for Ida
artistic designs.

style in the University this week when
Manager Dean Walker announced that
men of the varsity and freshman squads
will be barred from competition in the
Doughnut League basketball. Heretofore,
ell men have been allowed to play, but
under the new regulation, eleven men
have been barred from the first, team
squad and a like number from the fresh
man aggregation, so that the intramural
basketball this year will be between
teams of very little experience.
Blow to Several Teams.

FIXED FI QUARTER
Tryout Dates Set for Interfra
ternity, Alumni Medal, Var
sity Debates; Topic

Members of University Team
Will Be Barred From
Other Contests.
After caunMerabl* delay. due to new
contracts, shifting schedules, military
drill, and other unsettled conditions, the
forensic schedule for tho quarter is
' ready for announcement.
The schedule, subject to change later,
is as follows:
Tryout for Varsity debate team, 2
p. m. Saturday. January 10.
Tryout for Varsity orator in state con
test. Monday evening, January 21.
Alumni medal debate, Wednesday eve

February 28.
State oratorical contest, at Salem,
March 8.
Triangular dehate with University of
Washington and British Columbia,
M arch tli.
Debate Topic Uniform.
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.

May Dedicate Patriotic
Song to “O” Battalion.
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. This
committee is to report to the student
council next Wednesday, and die amend
ment will be drawn up, to be acted
upon by the next meeting of the asso
ciated students.
Catherine Dobie, circulation manager
of the Emerald, is to report on why
the delivery, of the Emerald has been
late, as there have been numerous com
plaints. The student council is t. de
cide whether or not any tiling can be
done to prevent it.
There is also a committee to be ap
pointed to draw up letters of condolence
and respect in honor of Dale Melrose,
Seth Smith and Irwin Brooks, three
University students who recently died.
Letters are to be sent to „tho parents,
and to be read at the next meeting of
the associated students

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

Varsity Star Says Ambulance
Driving Is Good Work.
He Wants to Be Back at Ore
gon Again, Though, Instead
of Hauling Wounded.
Experience's of an Oregon student who
is seeing -active service on the firing line
in France, are told in a letter received
yesterday by “Bill” Hayward, physical
trainer, from “Dobbie” Garrett, who
was an end on the 1914 Oregon Varsity,
is now driving an ambulance with the
United States army.
“I am glad to be able to do the work,”
writes Garrett. “The driving of an
ambulance is a fascinating game of
thrills and chances. 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:

here, and it is freezing every minute—
anything but rain, although it reminds
me of dear old
