With the departure of the University’s quota of appointees to the officers training camp at the American Lake cantonment this afternoon, Oregon and her men really came into their own as recognized military assets of the United States. The University and its men are now placed where they can offer the most to theif country and its cause in this war. Since Colonel Leader first came to the campus every effort has been expended to gain recognition by the War Department of the military training being given the men of the University Battalion^ The students realized their good fortune in having such a man as Colonel Leader to instruct them and pitched into the work laid out with remarkable enthusiasm, fully confident that they were to be given an opportunity to put into practical use the knowledge thus gained. As the months dragged by and their organization still stood as an unofficial body the doubt nat urally found place in the minds of many as to whether the prom ised recognition would ever materialize and their interest lag ged. Today, however, the military department stand in the light of having “delivered the goods.” For every man in the University Battalion who is physically eligible for entrance into the Army the opportunity of turning his training to his country’s advantage and his own now exists. Who those are who are to follow in the footsteps of the men who left this afternoon from time to time depends entirely upon the men themselves. The last ground upon which the sluffer could stand has been abolished — he is from this day on in the service of his country. His failure to apply himself to the military work offered him brands him as a slacker. LIND ELECTED HEAD OF REORGANIZED PHILOGIANS Debate SocHty Dead Past Eight Yoars Will Take Active Place Among Cam pus Organizations. Former Membors Prominent Alumni. After eight and a half years of non existence, the Philogiau society is again a campus organisation. With the meet ing Wednesday night of 10 University men, this society of men interested in debating and public speaking, which was founded about 1*0 years ago at Oregon, was reorganized. The plans are to continue with the work of the club aloug the same lines as in the days of its previous existence. All men interested in debuting or pub lic speaking may become charter mem bers by signing the constitution before Monday of this coming week. The con stitution is at present with Professor Robert Prescott, ot the public speaking department. At the meeting Wednesday evening it was decided that the club should meet every two weeks. May and dune are the two meetings left for tiiis term, and at each of these a lively debate is to be held. It is the plan of the club to begin work in earnest ns soon as eol lege opens 'nxt fall. Herman Lind was elected president, and Abe Rosenberg, secretary. The Philogisn club was discontinued In 1000, hot during its life was very ac tive on the camjHis, and bus u large body of prominent alumni.

Oregon will have to bestir herself in enrolling moie people in her physical education d*pnrtment if she is to meet the quota placed upon her by the in creased demand for women to tench phy sical education and do reconstruction work. This is the belief of Miss Mabel Cummings, director of physical educa tion at Oregon. Miss Cummings is plan ning to improve the already broad course offered at the University. A course ’n reconstruction work for women will be given next year. Miss Cummings plans to make the work such that the course can be completed in a year. “There <s a great need for physical education tenches now,” declared Miss Cummings. ' ltut there will be a greater need later. More states have made phy sical education in the schools compul sory Ibis veer, and it is my belief that Oregon will not be far behind in this movement.' Miss Cummings believes that every girl who takes up the teach ing of physi -al training is helping just as much in the national emergency as is the girl who takes up reconstruction work. At a meeting of a conference of ortho pedic surgeo >s of the allied armies held recently In Carls, it was recommended that every university bo established as a center for training women to do recon struct ion work. The allied surgeons hav, taken It their motto, "N\> cripples after this ,v ir.” SPLNll NIGHT AT FOLEY SPRINGS Girls Motor Up the MoKenzie to Sleep in the Open.

I. JtUREGUYjN TEXAS Engineering Graduate Studies Aero-dynamics. Only Oregon Man in Special Company Formed at Re quest of Pershing. I “I like the work fine but I must admit that it will be a great day when the Kaiser gets his,” is the way An thony Jaureguy expresses himself in regard to the war, in a letter received by a friend on the campus. Mr. Jaureguy is stationed in Wasco, 1 Texas, where he has been since be en tered the aviation service two weeks ago. As to the work he is doing, another part of his letter reads as follows, “we are to take supplementary air hygrome try and aero-dynamics in connection with aviation. This is the first unit of its kind to be found anywhere in the United States army. It is just recently that General Pershing asked for a ' oompany of colege men that were fitted for this kind of work. There are men hero from most of the big schools of I the country, for instance Yale, Colum bia, Massachusetts Tech., Worchester Tech, and the Universities of Pennsyl vania, Texas, North Carolina, Washing, i ton, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Vir ginia, Iowa and Missouri.” Mr. Jaureguy is the only man in the unit from Oregon, the rest of the west ern allotment is made up by two men I from the University of Washington. Mr. Jaureguy was graduated from the University with the class of To as an electrical engineer and since then he has been Superintendent of schools in Oakland, Oregon. HOOVER PLEADS WITH MEN Food Administration Urges More Caro in Conservation. There has been mneh said of man’s unwillingness to live up to the rules of the food administration—so much in fact that the administration has issued its latest appeal directly to University men. The plea is for full co.operation with the food administration officials nind for careful food conservation. The i bulletin is ended by a striking state ment: “What you are to be through life will bo decided by what you do in this crisis in human history.” The main idea in issuing such a bul letin is set forth in the statement that it has become increasingly evident that both by example and percept, men also must throw their influence heavily into the campaign for increased production nnd conservation of food, or disaster is inevitable.

Editor Emerald, Dear Sir: I will be very grateful if you can af ford me the hospitality of your space to allow me to express m.v appreciation for the extraordinary good work done by the members of the Regimental Band in the past four months. General Stonewall Jackson stated that a band added 25 per cent to the march ing efficiency of a unit and his opinion is endorsed by all competent military authorities. In my opinion the credit of the very high state of efficiency of the University Battalion is in a large meas ure due to the self-sacrificing and pa triotic exertion of our band. May I Say also that I think my opin ion is very generally shared in the of ficers of the battalion. JOHN LEADER, Lieutenant Colonel.
