WHERE DO WE STAND?
Among the men of the University a spirit of unrest is rap
idly growing in connection with the status which the department
of military training is to take as a recognized military organiza
tion. There is a feeling that they, who are directly effected, are
being kept in the dark regarding the steps which the University
is taking towards gaining definite recognition by the War De
s, partment.
The arrival of Colonel Leader and the inauguration of his
highly valuable work, coupled with the assurances that Ore
gon would secure a reserve officer’s training corps rating in all
probability, has stopped the rush of voluntary student enlist
ments. It has been an important factor in keeping the men in
college, for they felt that the training received would fit them
for more efficient service and that some method would be de
vised whereby they would be given the opportunity to put the
knowledge of the military game thus learned into immediate use.
The men of the University, as is the case with men generally,
cannot help but feel an aversion for the draft. It is not because
they lack in patriotism, or that they are not anxious to serve their
counti’y. They fear that by waiting for it they are going to be
lost in the shuffle, put into a branch of the service for which
they have no liking and, thereby, injure their own effectiveness
as fighters. Many of the men have foregone chances to enlist
in the branch of the service to which they are particularly at
tracted. They have remained with their studies, feeling confi

dent they would leave the University in June as members oi duly
recognized military organization.
Not a man in the University Battalion has lost anything by
remaining in school, but they are becoming impatient. College
men are not of the type that will sit idly by when the Nation
faces a crisis such as it is facing today. Their first reaction is
to get into the thick of the fighting and, while the matter of rec
ognition of the military works on the campus is up in the air, the
Marine and Aviation corps, the Navy and other branches of the
service are making strong appeals to college students.
The University has faith in Colonel Leader and in the work
he is doing, but the men want to know where they stand.
There is nothing to blush at in making that statement. Ore
gon men are loyal down to the last one—their past record dem
onstrates that. They will go to the front tomorrow if the Na
tion asks it. They will stay at their studies and the military
training they are being given on the campus, if they can be
shown that by so doing they are working toward a definite end
that will enable them to do their part.
Has the time come when the student body, of its own accord,
cannot be relied upon to conduct itself on state occasions with
out committing a blunder? We think not. And even though a
little slip did occur now and then, it would, in all probability, be
the cause of less criticism than to have University gatherings—
which one might expect to be more or less academic in their at
mosphere—conducted on the order of a preparatory school as
sembly. Though it may be conceit, we are of the opinion that the
average University student knows enough to stand when the Na
tional Anthem is played.
University School to Reserve
Right to Examine All
Students Upon
Entrance.
Teachers’ Association Will Help
in Promoting Desired
Quality.
Raising of the standards of musical
instruction and, consequently, of musical
ability and appreciation throughout the
state, is the aim of Dr. John ,1. Lan.ls
bury, dean of the school of music, in
new entrance requirements announced
today. This action, it is explained, is
made necessary by the absence of an
examining board protecting the stand
ards of teaching in the state.
Heretofore, I)r. Landsbury points out,
courtesy has seemed to demand the ac
ceptance of all music credits at their
face value upon entrance in the school
of music. The situation has become
such, however, that from now on the
school reserves the right to examine ad
applicants for admission.
"I have discussed the matter with city
superintendents, who have told me that
they would prefer not to be the deciding
factor; they would prefer to have the
matter handled by some central au
thority. This authority has been found
iu 'the State Music Teachers’ associa
tion, which is working with the school
of music iu this effort to raise staad
j ards.”
Dr. Landsbury is president of the as
j sociation, as well as dean of the school
I of music.
Poor Teachers to Be Pulled Out.
“The system we are abandoning,” he
said, "has been working to the lower
ing of musical standards throughout the
state. The good teacher who has tru'd
to keep up the standards of the art
has been handicapped iu competition
with the instructor who is more easily
satisfied. The tendency has been to
ward a lower and lower level of ability
among those applying for admission to
the school of music. Students have been
applying who really cannot read music.
This has been embarrassing both to us
ami to the applicants.
“There are two kinds of work for
which credit has beeu given—that done
under supervisors in the schools, and
that done under private teachers out
side. The trouble, of course, has beeu
with the training given by the private
teachers.
Plan to Be Adopted in April.
"Properly «!rained students, instruet
, ed by competent teachers, need have
! nothing to fear from this ruling. In
the case of others, it is to their advau
i tago to be compelled to make proper
I preparation before seeking admittance
I to the University. Under the present
i system, credits are often allowed by
; school officials who are not qualified
to pass on the quality of the instruc
tion given their students by the private
teachers. The examination system has
been adopted at the suggestion of music
teachers all over the state who seek pro
tection against the cheap, poor teacher.
! It is a step ■toward standardising in this
| line, just as is done in ail other lines i
( of University work.
"Xh* .viaaration of this new principle
will be delayed until the opening of the
next term, in April.”
Raising Quality, Landsbury’s Goa!.
Dr. Landsbury is head o£ a com
mittee of the state association of music
teachers, which will recommend to the
organization at its next annual meeting
a standard course of study. His ideas
for the stiffening of requirements for
entrance to the school of music have
the endorsement of the leaders in the |
state association.
The raising of the standard of mu
sical instruction throughout the state
bus been the goal of Dr. I.andsbury ever
since he came 'to the University, three
and a half years ago. "In all that time,”
he said, "I have been working to that
end. I feel that the result will be bene
ficial both to the school and to the mu
sical interests of 'the state.”

feeling. “Mr. Barnes,” said she, “won
our life scholarship prize. He is now
in France, ns a member of a company
of engineers who were among the first
to reach the scene of real warfare.”
Several drawings made by children
were on exhibit. “These,” said Miss
Crocker, “show the progress made by
the younger pupils. They are taught to
get the compete figure and not simply
a part when they begin their work.”
The American posters now seen on
billboards were deplored by the speaker,
who believes that more feeling should
be expressed. “Our war posters,” she
declared, "show no real depth. They
portray the handsome men and pretty
girls which we have been seeing for
years on magazine covers. This war
is a serious business, and in my opinion
merits posters which will depict the
real spirit of the day. While tlu com
monplace poster may catch the eye at
first, a really bold and spirited one
would hold the attention longer.”
Other instructors in the school are
H. F. Wentz, instructor in life com
position. painting and drawing; Miss
Helen Putnam, instructor in arts and
crufts and designing, and Miss Clara
Stephens, instructor in applied art.
RUTH ROCHE MAY BE AID
Application of Former U. Student to Do
Reconstruction Work Considered.
Miss Ruth Roche, '17. of Eugene, who
has been assistant physical director in
the Sau Francisco State Normal school
this year, has received word from Wash
ington that her application as a recon
struction aid is being considered. Miss
Roche has written to the physical edu
cation department here for a recommen
dation, as two recommendations and a
physical examination are required before
applications are accepted.
Miss Roche’s work in the norma!
school has been very successful, accord
ing to Miss Mabel Cummings, head of
the physical education department. Miss
Roche is in charge of most of the prac
tical work and supervises the work of
the normal students with the children.
She also holds conference with the nor
mal students weekly in regard to their
work.
Miss Roche had a similar offer for
work at the Illinois Normal school but j
preferred the work in California, so
that she might be nearer her home here.
