JUSTICE AND COMPULSORY UNIFORMS.
Clear-voiced and justifiable objections are rising from every
corner of the campus in answer to the announcement made by the
military department advising these men who contemplate buy
ing clothes to get uniforms, and forecasting that the order mak
ing the regulation United States Army khaki the compulsory uni
form of the battalion will be issued in the Spring.
The complaint comes principally from the seniors, who, if
they purchased uniforms, would get but two or three months
use out of them. They can see no justice in such an extrava
gance, and extravagance it would be, for those who do enter the
service, either before or after graduation, will be supplied with
Uniforms and other equipment. The argument is equally true in
the case of those men who, for one reason or another, do not re
turn to the University in October. The order making new uni
forms compulsory during the remainder of this school year would
mean in many cases the unnecessary expenditure of twenty-five
or thirty dollars, an expense which few of the men can afford.
With few exceptions the men have provided themselves with suf
ficient clothes to last through the year and until it can be proved
to them that benefits equalizing, or overshadowing the added ex
pense are to result from securing the uniforms, any move in that
direction will prove unpopular.
Why the uniforms are absolutely needed? Why the present
coveralls will not serve all purposes for this year? and why the
order making new uniforms compulsory should become effective
before the opening of school in October?—these are a few of the
questions the men seek answers to before the compelled to make
further outlays for drill clothes.
There is, of course, no good reason why the men who expect
to return to the University next year should not provide them
selves with the regulation uniform, and there is every reason
why the compulsory order should go into effect with the opening
of the October term, when all of the men would be able to get
full value out of the money invested in their uniforms. A regu
lation uniform for all would not only make for better morale in
the battalion, but also would unquestionably prove to be the most
economical and serviceable form of dress for the men.
With conditions as they are at the present time, however,
when national service and economy go hand in hand, a move to
compel the men to purchase uniforms from which many of them
would get but small service does not commend itself with much
strength.
'> WHERE DO YOU GET THAT *HOW?”
Oregon’s fruits of athletic victory for the year 1918 are
ripening. The games with Washington on the basketball floor
are to mark the beginning of the harvest. Three times already
this season the varsity has met defeat, twice at the bonds of O.
A. C.—today they exhibit a fight and determination such as has
'made Oregon teams of years gone by famous. They are out
“gunning” for Washington.
Suffering every handicap in the way of interruptions in the
training season the team has struggled along almost unnoticed
by the student body at large. Its practice periods have been
characterized by a total absence of spectators and the home
games have called out crowds that could hardly be called good
for a ping-pong tournament. Incident after incident has caused
breaks in the1 order of work that must be assured a team before
it can develop to its fullest efficiency. This is the team which
faced 0. A. the strongest team in the conference but it is not
the team that will meet the Seattle tossers.
It is a new aggregation, embodying a new fight—or rather,
a new expression of “the old fight”—that is working out every
day in preparation for the two contests with Washington. Ore
gon is going to win, it has got to win. How the trick is to be
turned is not a question to be considered for a minute. There is
room in the minds of loyal Oregon students for but one convic
tion—Oregon will win.
There is no such word as “how” in the lemon-yellow vocab
ulary.
At tho University of Montana the men who do not get dates
for the annual co-ed prom are planning a stag banquet for the
night of the "big step.” Hoover need have no worries over such
an occurance at Oregon this year, unless it be the women who
banquet.
Time, Place and the Girl
8:30 Saturday, Armory
_??
• •
Eight-thirty Saturday night is th«
time, armory the place, and it’s pretty
sad for yon fellows who don’t already
know who the girl is. The freshmen
glee is really going to be “some” party
this year.
“No taxis or flowers. Both are
taboo!” was the order of Clarence
Moffat, general chairman of all the com
mittees.
All of the plans have been definitely
arranged now, owing to the hard work
of all members on the various commit
tees, and the only thing left for the
freshmen class to do is to turn out
Saturday for the decorating.
"This applies to the girls as well as
fellows,” Mr. Moffat says, “and it's up
to the class to come through and help
Jtollin Woodruff all day Saturday to
make the old armory look so she won't
be able to recognize herself.”
The committee won’t say much about
the feature dance, except that it will
be strictly military, but they promise
it's going to be good. In fact, they are
pretty sure about the whole affair being
a success. Those in charge of the mu
sic say that a big stack of the best
and newest pieces have been selected,
and when they are played by a ten
piece orchestra that they will all vouch
for, there is no reason why everyone
shouldn’t feel the spirit of the dance in
their very bones.
“Lots of good punch, I should say so!”
—we are quoting Annette Spencer who
has charge of that phase of the party.
Don’t forget, eight thirty Saturday
night.
Head of Household Arts in
University Gets Latest
Card From Hoover
Headquarters.
New Requirements Are Far
Stricter; Wheatless and
Meatless Days.
—
The United States food administra
tion food card, dated January 28, 1918,
was reecived yesterday morning by Miss
Lilian Tingle, head of the household arts
department. Wheatless and meatless
days and meals, with other instructions
to follow, ns well as the “why”, are
outlined on the card, which in appear
ance looks much the same us the first
card issued.
“This new cnrd is much more strict
than the other,” Miss Tingle said. “It
almost brings the use of wheat flour
down to the point where it may only
be used as a thickening, or binder, on
certain days and meals, and for that
only about a tablespoonful is neces
sary.”
Appeal to Loyal Americans.
The food administration asks every
loyal American to help win the war by
maintaining rigidly, as a minimum of
saving, the following program:
“Observe two wheatless days in every
week, and one wheatless meal in every
day. This moans that no crackers,
pastry, mackroni, breakfast food or
other cereal food containing wheat, can
be used.
“One meatless day a week, a meat
less meal a day and two porkless days
in every week, means, according to the
card, no cattle, hog or sheep products
on meatluss days and meals. On other
days use mutton and lamb in preference
to beef or pork. “Porkless” means
without pork, bacon, bam, lard or pork
products, fresh or preserved. Use fish,
poultry, and eggs.
Must Not Waste Soap.
"Fats, butter, lard and lard substi
tutes, are to be saved every day. In
stead of frying, bake, broil or stew
foods. Meat drippings and vegetable
oils are to be used instead of butter
in cooking, because the butter must be
saved to give to the children. Soap,
being made of fats, must not be wasted.
"Sugar must, be saved every day.
Sweet drinks and candy containing sugar
should be used less in war time.
"Fruits, vegetables and potatoes, are
to bo used abundantly, but milk, very
necessary to the health of children,
should be used wisely. Use sour and
skim milk in cooking, and cottage
cheese.’*
The card asks that the name and ad
dress of any person discouraging the
production and saving of food be report
ed to the nearest food administration
officer.
FROSH FIVE PLAY
CHEMAWA SATURDAY

sible that llenuinger. Flake, or Houston
maj be substituted. According to the
coach, it has been a hard job this year
to pick the men who were enough better
thau the rest to make the team.
Chem.wa Team Fast.
"1 never saw a team that stayed to
gether so close." said Coach Walker.
"As a rule there is someone who vrill
develop quicker than the rest, and in
this way give a chance for choosing.
This game we are going against a team
that plays a fast running game, which
is very difficult to guard, aud I am ans
ious to pick the men that will do the
best work.”
Due to the fact that the student body
funds are low, it is necessary to charge
an admission to be able to play these
freshman games, so a fee of 10 cents
will be collected from all who attend,
tftudent body ticket will admit no one.
