According to a statement made by Karl W.

The letter received from Secretary Baker said in effect that in view of the rapidly increasing need for men who are trained along technical lines, the war department felt that the time had come to take advantage of the many offers made by educational institutions to sup ply such men. To Give Elementary Training. The war department plan at present is ito take men particularly fitted for such work from the army camps and put them through a course of “intensive ele mentary training” in universities or col leges which open their doors to the gov ernment. Further advancement for the men and efficiency for ithe army will re sult, it is declared. The University of Oregon is pro nounced as particularly fitted to give intensive training in ordnance, radio work, munitions, mechanical and photo graphic, as well as mathematics neces-, sary for gunners and engineers. Plans Indefinite Yet. No definite information has yet been given_as to when the plan is to be put into operation, or what special lines of training the University will be asked to give.

INTEREST IN HANDBALL IS AROUSED BY SERIES Oregon Club, Delta Tau Delta and Phi Gamma Delta, Are High Teams. The interfraternity handball aeries has created an amount of enthusiasm among the handball players on the cam pus. With a few exceptions the games have been played according to the ar rangement of the schedule, and those that have not been played as dated will be arranged and played within the next few days.

That working one's way through school is part of education instead of a means to education, was emphasized by Miss Mary Watson, when she spoke at a meeting of Tre Nu, a business club for University women, which met at the home of Mrs. Eric Allen, Sunday aft ernoon. “Sooner or later, especially in these 'times, we will all have to have a knowledge of economic affairs, and learn the value of money.” said Miss Watson. “You girls wrho are learning through experience now just how much a dollar is and how far it will go, will be that much ahead w'hen you are through col lege.” Miss Watson also said that lately she had heard many complaints from busi ness people in regard to a lack of re sponsibility on the part of employes. “They saw that the employes do ex actly as they are told unless they for get,” said Miss Watson. “Probably this complaint is due (to the fact that so many efficient workers have been called away.” Is order to become more re sponsible, Miss Watson suggested a cul tivation of the employer’s point of view, instead of a mere development of memory. | The fact that women are inclined to make a social out of a business occa sion, has prevented them from being put on an equal basis with men in the business world, according to Miss Wat son. Mrs. Allen also talked to the club, emphasizing the difference in the world Of yesterday and today, and showing howT it fell «to the lot of the women to keep up the ideals at home. “There are many new problems,” she said, “and we must be prepared and ready to face them.” The next meeting of Tre Nu will be held after vacation, at the home of Mrs. A. R. Sweetser, who has asked the girls to meet with her. MUSIC STUDY IS COMPLETE Pagliacci Victrola Set Will Appear First in Roseburg.
