Day by day the ranks of the University Battalion are thin ning out and at times the showing made is little short of dis graceful. And all of the time there is a relative increase in the number of University men to be seen on the downtown streets and around the campus during the drill hour. The men are staf fing, but whether the blame rests entirely with them is a ques tion on which there is considerable room for debate. For four months now the men of the University have been drilling and working along military lines with the expectation that they were pursuing a course that would land them in some definite position before the end of the year. Today their stand ing is no more definitely established than when they started. They have gained a large amount of technical knowledge on mat ters military, but they have no assurance that this training is go ing to be given an opportunity to show itself. They looked for ward to the establishment of a reserve officers training corps here that would make some of them at least eligible for the train ing camps that are being opened in the National Army camps this month. If that was not practicable, they expected that some other arrangement would be made to secure for the Battalion some official recognition. It was this expectation more than anything else that has kept many of the men in college and, while they are undoubtedly better off for having remained in most cases, they are hardly to be blamed for feeling dissatisfied. The blame for the condition now existing cannot be placed in any way upon Colonel Leader, nor the military department. Without question they have done all that they can to secure some official form of recognition. To them the turn events have taken must be even more discouraging than to the men, for in a meas ure they must feel that these efforts are falling short of the end that they sought to attain. There is, however, one criticism to be made of the manner in which the military courses are con ducted. There is a slackness somewhere when men can cut drill right and left without suffering any apparent injury for the cuts thus accumulated. It has been made perfectly clear that failure to secure drill credits will keep the men from graduating, but the weakness evidently is in the fact that absence from drill and lectures does not necessarily mean more cuts on their record cards. The expressed boast of many—though it can hardly be realized that any man would boast of such a thing in these times —is that they do cut without having cuts marked against them. How demoralizing the existence of an abuse of this kind is bound to be in any organization needs no explanation but it does indicate what the explanation of the waning interest in mili tary training may be. REPEAT FIELD PROBLEM FOR BATTALION DRILL University Men Spend Two-hour Period Tuesday in Sham Battle at Hendrick's Park. The T'niversity battalion repeated Inst week's battle problem Tuesday af ternoon in the two hour period with no marked success. In some ways, especially scouting:, the work was not as well done as that of the week before. Lieutenant Herman l.ind and krnold Koepke were in command. Lieutenant Lind’s position comgtponded to that of Captain Sheehy’s of last week. His two companies advanced to Jndkin's point, and took up a strong posltiou on tho heights where Lind hod stationed a ma chine gun and where he maintained his base. Lind sent three fourths of his men under Lieutenant Waugh to strike on the right flank of the enemy Koepke' two companies advanced, but failed to do successful work in scouting, so that I Waugh easily cut the flank to pieces rod half of Koopke'g force was put out »f action. Lind's companies had rather the best >f the fight throughout. The probhm was somewhat different than that of the week before, in that each kn< w the )o •utiou and si/.e of the other's forces, hut iveu at that, the buttle could hr corned out much better, think the um piiea. The one advantage was that neither side suffered heavy casuahtiea from poison oak, COLOMEL LEADER TO SPEAK Commandant WHI Address People of Portland and Vicinity.

He is a good mixer, shows good judgment and loyalty, and is represented on a major sport.” In nominating Dwight Wilson for the same office Walter Myers emphasized the need for a man who was familiar with the student body and its traditions. Wilson Has Demonstrated Ability. “This man has shown ability to cope with University problems,” said Mr. j Myers. “He has been given responsible positions and has shown his worth.

For editor of the Emerald, Harry Crain advised the election of Douglas Mullnrky because of his past experience, his willingness to work any time and all the time, and because of liis reliability in time of emergency. “Mullarkey enlisted at the opening of the war, but was physically disqualified, and we are sure he will be here next year,” said Crain in closing. Says Men Can’t Bo Trusted. “You can’t trust the men,” said Em ma Footton Hall, drawing a laugh from the audience. "In these war times we’ve got to have a girl for the Emerald next year.
