MINIMUM OF 16 HOURS » FOR SPECIAL STUDENTS Mon Taking Military Scionco to Bo fiivon Enough Work to Keep Busy. Sixteen hours of work each week is to be required of ell men taking advan tage of the TUniversity’s offer to admit men other than regular students into th.' military training classes, with the standing of special students. This reg ulation, however, does not apply to busi ness men of Kugene who wish to take one or two classes in preparation for the examinations for a commission. It is the plan at present to register these students as majors in the military science department, hut they will not he barred from taking courses in other departments, the subject matter of which will be of value to them when they gel into service. In making the minimum requirement 1 (i hours for these students, the faculty nets with tin' idea of preventing any demoralisation in rampus life, which might result from having a number of students loafing about with too much •pare time on their hands. There luts been a slight lowering of grades at the University of Illinois caus ed by the unsettled conditions due to the fact that many students are leuving School. This is evidenced by the reports which are being given out by the ot turns of the dean of men and the dean of Women. !$ Send the Emerald Home Mother Goose and Bluebeard Real People, Says Prof. Dunn Origins of Mother Goose and Blue beard stories were discussed last night by I’rof. F. S. Dunn,, bead of the depart ment of Latin, in an illustrated lecture in Guild hall. Evidence that both these story characters may have been real his torical characters was given by Pro fessor Dnnn, whose hearers were for the most part members of Prof. A. F. Red die's large classes in dramatic interpre tation. “Most of us imagined until recently that Mother Goose is a fantastical char acter,” he continued. “The name prompts this, but Fox, Drake, Pinch and Parrot are the names of well known Oregon per sons. Tlie name of Goose is historical. Professor A. F. Iteddie found in Boston the name of Ann Goose on a tombstone. However, the first record of the family is in the name of Peter Goose, Bergoose, 01 Verdigoose. It had three versions. “Elizabeth, his second daughter was the mother and stepmother,” said Mr. Dunn, “of sixteen children, and she is said to be the original ‘Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.' Her name is carried in the books of the old South Church in Poston. Her second daughter Elizabeth,” lie continued, “was married ,in 1015 to Thomas Fleet by the Reverend Cotton Mather. At first: Thomas grew tired of the rhymes his mother-in-law sang to his children, and finally in 1710, he printed them in hook form with the title of 'Songs for the Nursery.’ ” But, according to the speaker, there were two sources for the rhymes am] two somewhat different sets of stories. In ltiU7 Charles Pereau’s edition of Mother Goose’s rhymes was printed in France hut it carried the stories of The Sleeping Ileauty, Little lied Riding Hood and others while the Boston volume contain ed the Jack Sprat, Georgie-I’orgin rhymes. Mr. Dunn told the origin of many other nursery tales. “We have proof,” he said, “that Oliver Goldsmith was the origi nator of Goody Two Shoes. Helene, the mother of Constantine, was undoubtedly the daughter of Old King Cole. Humpty Dumpty was a bold bad baron in the time o;' King John and Henry VIII may have been Blue Beard. At any rate,” the speaker continued, “he had six wives in rather rapid succession and caused the death of most of them. And. again. Blue Beard may have been a baron living in the times of Joan of Arc, who murdered 800 children in eight months for the sake of their blood which he needed for a scientific work.” “You are surely becoming convinced,” he concluded, “that Mother Goose was the inventor of many many centuries of stories.” Mr. Dunn’s lecture was accompanied by slides of various child story charac ti rs. Among them were pictures of the Jack-the-Giant-killer from almost every country. The slides bore out Mr. Dunn’s point that few articles fail to picture Mother Goose characters.

During the las! term a class was start ed in the University school of music, in which several students from the ages of !> to 10, were given the opportunity of learning -to play the piano. This class, which was instructed by Miss Jessie Fariss, assistant in the school of music, was a mere experiment, hut according to her, the reults which came from it were remarkable. The public school students at these ages seem to adapt themselves to the work so rapidly that the class is to be made a permanent one. Tbo class meets an hour every week and the fee is very low. There arc only four pupils in the class now but more are expected to join. Niney-seven former DePauxv students received Christmas boxes from DoPauw co-eds.

VARSITY PROSPECTS DIMMED FOR DIME Saturday’s Outlook Poor Since Medley and Comfort Go Off Floor With Badly Sprained Ankles. Steers and Wilson Show Up Well in Practice With Freshman Five. The embryonic Varsity quintet, which has been progressing nicely for the pasi few days under the able nursing of Bill Hayward, received a bad setback last night, when two of the season's most favorable looking prospects, “Dot” Med ley and Charles Comfort, limped from the floor with badly sprained ankles. Considering that the first game of the season, that with Multnomah Athletic club, is but four days off, these ill timed injuries have set the fans to doubting Oregon’s chances with the fast Portland five. “Dot,” who has been holding a berth at guard, will probably be out of the game for a week, because of the serious ness of the wrench which his right foo received. Comfort May Play. Comfort may be in shape for the Multnomah tussle, as his injury was not as serious as Medley’s- Comfort has been stationed at center during the pre season games, and according to reports from the ringside watchers, he Is pro gressing into -a valuable suction sole wearer. During the past week, the Varsity hoop hitters have heen pitted against Dean Walker's prize bunch of first year men. The Varsity had no trouble in cleaning up the wearers of the green, j showing up the brilliant individual play ing of several men. Steers and Dow Wilson, as well as Medley and Parsons, have been doing good work in holding down the score I of the opponents, while Comfort and I Bind performed like “vets” when it came to “diggin’ in,” during their alter nate stay at center. Forwards All Hitting Hoop. The forwards, consisting of Billy Mor rison, Shisler, Fowler and Walter Crebe, each had their turn at playing in the forward position during the past week, and all showed a marked tendency to hit the hoop at regular intervals. The nets on the two baskets of the Hayward hall floor have been worn considerably as the result of the past week’s practice, which has dwelt chiefly on basket-shooting and scrimmage for endurance. The boys will be in good condition for the contest if they do lack practice. Coach Hayward plans to give the hoys more inside “dope” the re maining few days with which to barrage the attack of "Cutie” Sharp's unit of basketball artists. Multnomah Quint Strong. The Multnomah quintet has been j going strong, while Oregon has a team j of individuals who have past records, i hut who have not gotten to going to gether on account of the lack of time for practice. Coach Hayward promises | an aggregation which will show the 1 Winged M representatives a real fight, and which will make it impossible for ; the Portland men to run off with the j contest with a lop-sided score.
