lowed the review, President Campbell
said that he was well pleased with the
progress made by the companies. “I
notice especially,” he said, “the splendid
physical fitness of the members of the
battalion. To me it is an indication

carry out all military plans, as well
as being foretfied for preparations for
a five years’ war, if need be.
“I want you men to realize,” he con
tinued. "that you, with other University
students, represent the defense of the
fundamental principles set forth by
President Wilson in his address to con
gress, which I was fortunate enough to
hear. I know that we shall all be proud
of our University as standing for these
principles.”

Physical Exams.
Student President to Finish
College Year; Senior Head
• *.'£i May Leave Early.
Two proxies returned to the campus
from Portland this week, having suc
cessfully passed their physical examina
tions preliminary to enlisting in the
aviation corps. James Sheehy, president
vf the student body, and Charles Dun
dore, president of the senior class, were
the two successful men.
Charles Dundore was the first to take
jfte examination, and he was enrolled as
a first-class private, to be called to the
training school at Berkeley frobably by
May.
Orders from Washington, D. C., not
to enlist any more men for aviation
until further requirements came, ar
rived just after Jimmy Sheehy had
passed his physical examination.
It will be two weeks, probably, before
he will hear from Portland f.bout the
matter, but the examining officer as
sured him that there was no reason why
he would not hear then that the call
to the training camp would come in Maj
or June.
“I will be able to finish out the col
lege year,” said Sheehy last night.

SIGMA CGIS WALLOP
KAPPA SIGMAS 21-13
Wild and Woolly Fight Is
Staged Between Leaders
of Doughnut League
Sections.
Crandall and Jenkins Score for
Victors; Last Game of
Series Next Week.
The Sigma Chis, champions of section
2 in the doughnut league, took the sec
ond game of the championship series
from the Kappa Sigs, winners in section
1, by the score of 21 to 13, last night.
This makes the series a tie, each team
having taken one game.
The exhibition staged last night was
wild and wierd, the first half ended with
the score of 6 to 3 in favor of the
Kappa Sigs, but by the time the second
half was finished, the Sigma Chis had
scored enough points to choke a mule.
This game showed some of the best team
work seen this year and while basket
ball was the last thought of the players,
they nevertheless got off some neat piec
es of passing and combination shots.
Game Begins Very Quietly
The game started quiet and peaceful,
as any ordinary basketball game should
start, but the finish looked like a street
in Berlin wil; after the American troops
have been through.
The Sigma Chis opened the second half
with a rush through center, and before
the surprised Kappa Sigs could come
back to life, their opponents had taken
the lend away from them. Thne after
time, Slim Crandall or any other Sigma
Chi who happened to be handy, tossed
another basket and the score grew. To
say that the game was rough does not
come anywhere near a description of the
affair. It had the wrestling tryout ot the
afternoon looking like an encampment of
Civil War veterans.
Breed, Sigma Chi guard, landed on his
face after having been pulled and haul
ed about half the length of the floor anti
was sent in for repairs. Ed Padden took
his post and was the only member of the
Sigma Chi quintet who did not toss at
least one basket. The Kappa Sigs took
a mental vacation during the first part
of the last period and as a result long
passes, Crandall to Moore to Crandall,
netted at least eight points.
Many Rooters Turn Out.
There were a large number of rooters
out for the contest, among them being a
large delegation from the Kappa Sigs
aided by Ed Shockley. At the end of the.
first half they were having the time of
their lives, but when the final whistle
blew they looked like a delegation of

NOMINATE NEW MEMBERS
Four Vacancies in Y. W. C. A. Board to
Be Filled at Election.
A committee from the members of
the advisory hoard was appointed at
their meeting Monday afternoon, to
meet with the girls of the Y. W. C. A.
for the purpose of nominating four new
members of the board to take the place
-of the outgoing members. The domina
tions will be presented at the Y. TV.
C. A. meeting, March 0, when the an
nual election takes place.
Those appointed on ithe committee
were Mrs. Donald Young, Mrs. TV. P.
Fell, and Miss Mary Watson.
Music Shipped
More to go S<
Fourteen pounds of music, including
about 150 songs, were sent to the sol
diers in France today. This is the sec
ond shipment that has been made by
the Emerald since it started its cam
paign, about two weeks ago.
Each piece of music is labeled con
spicuously with an Oregon sticker. B.v
this method any Oregon man who gets
music will feel acquainted with it im
mediately, and any other soldiers who
get it will realize that Oregon is on the
map of the United States.
Late popular soldier songs figured
prominently in contributions for the
second shipment. Some of ithose re
ceived are “Over There,” ‘‘America,
Here’s My Boy,” “Where Do We Go
from Here,” “Uncle Sammy’s Army,”
“Kid the Kaiser,” and “We're Going
j Over.” The rest of the stack TiDged

UNIFORMS FOR Dll
OF SK-UUB
Regulation Olive-Drab Suits to
Be Required for All
Members of “U”
Battalion.
High-Top Boots Won't Do;
Campaign Hats Must Be
Obtained.
Prepare now to be in a position to
have a regulation olive-drab United
States uniform early next spring, is
the advice given from the command
ant’s office. Recent advice from Col
onel Leader is to the effect that the
“coverall” uniforms will soon be used
for fatigue duty only, and as the bat
talion becomes more of a truly, high
class military organization, the men will
be required to have a regulation United
States uniform.
Circulars are being sent to every high
school in the state, informing the stu
dents who are planning to enter the
University next, term, or in October, not
to stock up their wardrobes with civilian
clothes, as they will be useless within
a few months, when army uniforms will
be required for military drill and must
be worn at all times. It is possible that
Colonel Leader will make a tour of the
state, to appear at the high schools in
the interests of getting students to the
University for the military courses.
nign-iops yv uii i uu.
High-top shoos will not take the place
of leggings as a part of the soldier's
uniform, says Colonel Leader. He also
requests that the students buy tan shoes
as soon as possible, as that is the rec
ognized color to go with uniform. lie
also advises that it would be a good
plan for the men students to think
about purchasing United States cam
paign hats, as they will also be re
quired.
The companies of the University bat
talion will drill for the remainder of
this week on battalion movements, and
special ceremonies prior to the inspec
tion of the battalion, which will be held
on the afternoon of February 212, when
the battalion is to be presented with
the regimental and national standards.
Colonel Leader is making plans to have
these ceremonies be the most imnres
sive occasion which the men of t!/e bat
talion have yet gone through. The na
tional standard is now at the presi
dent's office, and the regimental stand
ard will be finished soon by the women
of -the University, who arc at present
working on it.
Ceremony to Be Elaborate.
Prominent ladies of the University
and the city of Eugene will present the
standards to the commissioned officers
of the battalion; the military band will
play, the companies of the battalion will
drill, and a few words from a visiting
officer will probably climax the after
noon’s ceremony.
STUDENTS AND FRIENDS INVITED
Residents of Hendricks Hall Ready to
Receive Guests.
Residents of Hendricks Hall and the
dean of women invite students and
friends to visit 'them at any time, hut
they reserve the privilege of receiving
them as guests, and the hall will not be
open for inspection in any other way.
to Soldiers;
doti as Possible
“If You Ever Get Lonely,” ‘‘Li'l Lisa
Jane,” “What I*a You Want to Make
Those Eyes at Me For,” and “They’re
Wearing ’Em Higher in Hawaii,” t>
“Melody in F” and “Sextette from
Lucia.”
“Some of the music has been turned
in with a part of it missing,” said a
member of the committee. “In many
cases it is the most desirable pieces that
are lackiug in this way, and of course
they cannot be sent.” This loss would
be spared if 'the contributors would look
through each piece of music before turn
ing it in.
Lat« popular songs and fireside favor
ites were purchased with the money con
tributed toward the campaign. Another
shipment will be made as soon as enough
music is contributed to make a seven
pound package, announces the C"m
mittee in charge.
OFFICERS MAY DISCARD
THEIR FRESHMAN CAPS
More Appropriate Head Covering for
Students of Rank Advised by
Colonel Leader.
Whether the freshmen officers will
be allowed to give up their green caps,
as Liutenant Colonel John Leader has
requested, will be settled at the student
council meeting tomorrow.
Because the officers haw to wear
their uniforms all day. due to thA three
military classes at 1, 5, and 7 o'clock.
Colonel Leader suggests that a head
covering more appropriate and better
appearing than the significant green cap
could be found.
In a letter to James Sheehy. prcsi
dent of the student body, last week
Colonel Leader urged this change ns a
method of improving the general ap
pearance of the officers during the hours
between drills.
The council will decide whether the
old tradition can be suspended for the
officers. Junior week-end plans will he
discussed at the meeting, and a report
will he made by Hay Couch on the sol
dier memorial fund, of which he is chair
man.

University Head Brings Word
of Council to Co-ordinate
Schools With U. S.
Government.
14 ASSOCIATIONS INCLUDED
Faculty Members Would Give
Classes for Soldiers in
Cantonments.
Bringing back word of the probable
formation of an emergency education
war council, to assist the government
in dealing with i'ne problems of educa
tion among college students during the
war. President P. L. Campbell returned
to the campus Sunday after an absonce
of six weeks.
President Campbell attended a meet
ing of the executive committees of the
various educational associations of the
country at Washington and the war
council was the plan adopted at this
meeting as the most feasible means of
co-ordinating the efforts of the universi
ties, colleges and the war department.
The plan was not definitely decided
upon, ns each representative wanted to
have the consent of his association be
fore going ahead with the scheme, and
an executive committee ad interim was
appointed, consisting of five members,
of which President Campbell is secre
tary-treasurer, to await word from the
different association TTefore proceeding.
The council would have 14 members,
one from each national association.
Will Educate Soldiers.
This council, President Campbell says,
would look after all such matters as
the use of University facilities aud
equipment for war purposes, the educa
tion of soldiers in cantonments, training
of college students for certnin brunches
of tbo service, etc. President Campbell
fostered a scheme whereby some mem
bers of the faculties of the universities
might be detailed to cantonments to give
regular classes for the men who would
want to continue their college work. For
this study, college credit would be given.
While in the east, President Campbell
made diligent inquiries concerning the
It. O. T. C., and says that if we want
i it, all we have to do is ask for it, but
he is convinced that we may get some
thing better. The university cun con
tain all the equipment granted an It. O.
T. C. by applying on general orders
4S, which would mean tents, and all the
other appurtenances of n camp. For
the present, the University authorities
will await the outcome of Senator
Oeorge Chamberlain’s hill on granting
It. O. T. C.'r to colleges, ns some of
the provisions may he changed.
