The Coast Artillery has asked the University to name men desirous of en listing in that branch of the service, to attend the three months’ artillery train #g school which opens July G at Fort onroe, Virginia. The men needed are those who have a •Jood foundation in mathematics and have studied algebra, geametry and trigo nometry. Previous special technical train ing is helpful, but not necessary. Any special scientific training is very useful The University desires to send men who have had good training in mathe matics and will be glad to have the names of graduates who have had the necessary foundation and would be interested. Two such men whom Karl Onthauk, secre tary to President Campbell, communi cated with yesterday are Roy Andrews, assistant in the botany department and George Schantin. There are also several students in the ! University, whom Mr. Onthank thinks should qualify. He will be glad to have them come to him for further informa Upper classment will be preferred. ®»Studeuts now registered under the ^en-aft law will be given the necessary papers here, inducted by the local board, sent to the Coast Artillery school and assigned to a special company where they will be given preliminary training until July 6.

"Child Placing in Families,” dealing with the problems of child life, in which Dr. Slingerland is interested. HOUSES TO BE KEPT IIP War Wil! Not Cause Any Fra ternities to Close, Is Hope. Scarcity of Members, Particu larly Upperclassmen, Ex pected Next Fall. | Unless the war makes some terrible in j roads upon the men students of the Uni versity during the coming summer, the fraternity situation will remain normal next year. Every house is planning on opening in the frill under the same con ditions as in the past with the exception that there will probably be fewer mem bers. So far, not a single house has had to [ close because of the war. Practically every college and University has at least one or two fraternities inactive because of the present struggle. iS'o arrangements have been made for the uniting of two national fraternities in one house in accordance with the sys tem used in some places. At several of the leading universities of the coun try two Greek societies have made use of the same dwelling in order to remain in existence, but every fraternity at Oregon has maintained its own house during the entire year, and all are plan ning on doing the same next year. Most of the houses will be handicap ped next fall because of the scarcity of upperclassmen. Sigma Chi and A. T. O. will suffer the most iu this respect in that only three members of the present Junior and Senior classes will return in the fall. Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta with four apiece are next while Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Nu will have a total of five each. Beta Theta 1’i with six and Delta Tau with ten complete the list. The latter two are especially fortunate in having almost as many from the upper classes as in previous years. All fraternities will have approximate ly the same number of underclassmen back in the full, the average being about seven. Oregon Women’s War Fund up to One-sixth of Total. Committee Wants All Money Possible Paid in by June 7. Results of the first week’s drive for the Oregon women's war fund, which is to be devoted to some active work in France, show $394 pledged towards the $2300 fund This sum has been sub scribed by 94 women, according to Roberta Schuebel, chairman of the com mittee, in charge of the drive. At a meeting o. the women’s league three weeks ago 40 girls pledged $211, and during this week 48 girls have prom ised $183. The sum subscribed up to this point is not even a sixth of the total amount towards which the Uni versity woamn are wording. The drive will last until June 7. The money does not have to be paid until fall, but the committee is anxious to have as many pledges as possible paid before the end of the term asp Rosamond Shaw, John Houston Take Character Parts Well in “Prince of Liars.” “Barry Get Up" Was Amusing Trifle and Went with . . Much Zest. The play offerings of the year by the class in Dramatic Interpretation came to a close Thursday and Friday evenings when under the direction of Fergus Red die, the farce “The Prince of Liars,” by Sidney Grundy, and “Barry Get Up!” by Arthur Watson, were presented in Guild Hall. “The Prince of Liars” proved unde niably amusing to the audience as a whole and exhibited most of the charac teristics which are as the program not ed, "so popular in our universities.” But it offered very little real satisfaction to those who have enjoyed the previous productions of these classes and who were watching the final development of their season’s work with itnerest. “The Prince of Liars” is a farce of the older type, with many soliloquies and asides, and characters, complications and business that all had seen many times. Introduced at the outset were a married man whose wife is away, his mother-in law who keeps such a close watch of him that even his pocket handkerchiefs are counted, and a circus rider known as the India Rubber Girl who invites herself to his home. So the onlookers ure confront ed with the familiar formula of the lies of an innocent hero, who seeking to ex tricate himself sinks deeper nud deeper into his own net drawing everyone with him. The audience laughed heartily at the farce, for literally sprinkled with types, the acting for the most part was better than the play. Most of the fun was put across by John Houston as Ilummingtop, the husband, who proved the life of the party, lie managed to get a good deal of applause by his diverting sidesteps and original girations. He was a very per sonable individual. Mr. Houston was ably seconded by Rosamund Shaw who played the mother in-law. »She offered most of what ap proached the genuine characterization of the evening. The designer of her gowns deserves mention. Cornela Heess as the India Rubboc Girl bounded about in a manner almosi equaling Ilummingtop. She contributed many temperamental little kicks but it was noted that she did not smoke a ci garette at the critical moment.

DYMENT GOING TO FRANCE Former Member of Oregon Faculty to Do Overseas Work for Red Cross. Colin V. Dyment, director of the Uni versity of Washington school of journal ism and former member of the Univer sity of Oregon faculty, leaves for France next month to enteT the lied Cross ser vice.

Chances for Commissions Good if Men Are Willing to Work. Captain Edward II. YV. Holt of the U. S. Marine Corps, who cume to Eugene yesterday for the purpose of recruiting men to be trained us officers in the Ma rine Corps, said yesterday afternoon that he would recommend 50 men from the University for the foot corps and six men for the flying corps. The age limits are 20 to 30, but Cap tain Holt said that he would accept men who are at present 10 years and eight months. The boys enlist for the dura tion of the war. They report for duty ns privates and if they enlist in the foot corps are sent for seven to nine weeks training at Mare Island. They apply at the end of this period to a recruiting depot to be sent to the longer training school. If selected, they are sent to Quant ico, Virginia, where they take a three months’ course in the officers’ training school. If they pass the exami nations given after this course, they become permanent officers in the Marine Corps. This applies only to the foot corps. Age Limit for Flying Corps 20 to 30. Men recommended for the flying corps for which the age limits arc the same as for the foot corps, are sent for a ten weeks’ intensive training at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology and then for a three months' course in a fly ing school, after which they take an ex amination for officers. When men enlist in the flying corps, they arc enrolled I as gunnery sergeants iu what practically amounts to a reserve, as explained by 1 Captain Holt. Captain Ilult wishes to emphasize that he does not make wondeful promises to the boys, which he cannot fulfill. "It is all up to the men,” he said yesterday. “They must make good, or they don’t get anywhere. With a good education, they are bound to get ahead, if they apply themselves properly. College training practically means 40 poiuts to a man in the final examinations.” Captain Holt will address the men during drill hour Monday. He is staying at the Hotel Os'burn and will be glad to make appointments with anyone inter ested either Sunday afternoon or any time Monday. He will hold personal con ferences with the boys Monday after noon. Captain Ilolt leaves for Corvallis Tuesday morning. The Marine Corps needs 1800 addition al officers, Captain Holt said yester day.

Tbacher, who has charge of the contest. Two priz es of five and ten dollars each are of fered for the two best stories, which are to be printed in Mr. Hurley’s paper for children, “The Western Youth.” The con test closes June 1. The stories for this contest are to he written by students of the University in a style suitable for children. The stories should he about three thousand words in length and written so they can bo divided into thousand word install ments.

MARKS IS TO LECTURE Physical Education Society to Hear Talk on “Ear, Ncse and Throat.” A meeting of the Eugene Physical Ed ucation society will be held next Tues day evening at 7:15 in I)eady lecture room.

Dalgleish and Foster Twirlers. Company It will moot Company D for the baseball championship of the Fni versity battalion next Tuesday at the two-hour drill period. The game should he some contest with Curly Dalgleish opposing Dank Foster in the box. Both of these twirlers are good, and from tae .side: of the lust, two contests Dal gleish has the edge on his rival. Both teams abound in heavy hiCers and the only thing that will save Dal gleish, ns it looks now, is the fact that he knows the weak points of the Var sity and Frosh batters, while llank Fos ter will have to rely on his ability to out fox the company B batters. The two infields are about even, the edge, if there is any. being in favor of Company D as they have Steers. Morri son, Campbell and Sheehy, which is al most a Varsity array. Company 11 has Medley Moore, Houston and Mot'fatt, which is in itself a good line of ball players. The outfields of the two teams are about evenly matched. The real con test will he between the twirlers. MTU IS CHOSEN Sophomore Named for Appoint ment to West Point. Carter Brandon Is Alternate; Committee Has Difficulty in Selecting- Men. Carlton McFndden, n sophomore in the University and major in the depart ment of economies, was selected this moraine as the University's candidate for appointment to West. Point, for the course beginning July 1. McFudden’s home is in Junction City. James Carter ltrandon, of Medford, who is also a member of the sophomore class, received the recommendation of the committee as alternate for the ap pointment. In view of the following telegraphic request received yesterday from ltepre senative Hawley, it is probable that Mc Fadden will receive the appointment from this congressional district. The telegram read: “Can you recommend young man for appointment to West Point Military Academy who has advanced sufficiently far in University courses to be admitted as student of an accredited school, per fectly sound physically and suitable for appointment in all other respects Must be actual resident of first congres sional district and between 18 and 22 years of age and if qualified will enter academy July 1. “W. C. HAWLEY.” The University is already represent ed nt West Point by three former stu dents, all of whom were appointed Inst year. They are WyviH'! Sbeehy, brother of James Sheehy, president of the stu dent body; Ellis Williamson and Robert Montague. “The committee had a very difficult time in making the selections,” Karl On thank said this afternoon. “There were several other men in the University who had every qualification, but they were not eligible for consideration either be cause they do not live in this congress ional district, or because they do not come within the age. limits. All of the men considered fell down to a greater or lesser extent in the mathematics quali fications.” On the committee that made the se lections were Major Eric W. Allen, fac ulty captains R. W. Prescott, It. S. Hamilton, J. F. ltovurd, W. F. G. Timelier, Karl Onthank and Professors E. E. DeCou and It. M. Winger. AMBULANCE MEN TRAIN Seven Members of Oregon Unit Seek Commissions at Camp Lewis. A letter recently received from Ken neth Bartlett, stationed at Camp Lewis with the University ambulance company, gives the names of seven old Oregon men who are attending the officers’ training camp there. In all that makes twenty men at the camp, beside the addi tional five who have just been author ized to go. The seven are Seargent Wal lace Mount, Sergeant Charles Maurice, Sergeant Dave Wilson, Sergeuul Krncet Vosper, Sergeant James Vance, Corporal Jay Gore and Private William Snyder. The letter likewise says that they are ,on constant watch for orders that will put them on the move, and are more than anxious for such good news to arrive. Baseball Coach, Assistant in Football, Chosen to Take Post Now Held by A. R. Tiffany. TO ADOPT BUDGET PLAN OF FINANCING ATHLETICS Man Selected Held Same Posi tion in .1913-14; Will Keep Present Job. Doan Walker, baseball and assistant football roneh, was elected graduate man ager of the University student body by the athletic council lust night succeeding A. It. Tiffany who has held the office since .Tune 1, 1914, and who did not ap ply for the position for next year. This is Walker’s second term as graduate manager having served in this capacity during the year of 1913-14. As coach and director of the intra mural athletics of the University Walker has become well acquainted with the con ditions and will he able therefore to plan for next year being guided by his ex perience this year. He will continue to serve as director of intra-mural activi ties and will also aid Hezdek in the handling of the football team. io use Budget Plan. Wnlker is planning to uso the budget system next year in financing the teams and will base his figures upon the expen ditures of this year. He plans to run the athletics of next year on as near normal basis as the war time condition will al low. "1 intend to encourage and keep the athletic activities of next year as near normal as it is possible,” Walker an nounced this morning. "In order to do this we shall have to plan our next year's program upon a budget system and allot to each sport a certain amount above which we cannot go.” In view of the fact that railroad fares have increased greatly and the war tax will have to be taken into consideration few men other than the squads, can be taken on the long trips. There is no dis position on Walker's part to skiuip on trips but it will ho necessary to elimi nate all unnecessary expense. Oregon has two long trips this full, one to the University of California and the other to the University of Southern California. The trip to Moscow for the game with the University of Idaho will also be quite a jump for the Varsity. Gamo With U. of W. Wanted. It is quite possible that a meeting of the Pacific Coast conference will be held in the near future, according to Walker, at which time a war program will be de cided upon. If the schedule revision comes up it is possible that Oregon may be able to arrange a game with the Cni -» (Continued on page two) Intra-mural Athletics Meet Favor at U. of W. Coach Hunt Tells of Scheme to Interest All M.en in Work. Intramural athletics have taken the University of Washington by storm, ac cording to Coach C. .T. Hunt of the northern institution, who was a campus visitor this week-end. “Our plan is to have all of the men interested in some branch of sport all of the time," said Coach Hunt yesterday. The University now is running an inter hotise baseball league with eighteen teams. Three leagues have been or ! ganized, and according to Coach Hunt, the rivalry is most keen. The activity along intramural lines is hindering somewhat the participation of Washington intercollegiate athletics but Coach Hunt believes that by next fall things will hHye shaped themselves so that they can make a good showing in the Northwest conference. The nvtieh-taJked-of spring meeting of the moguls of the Northwest Confer ence will probably help the University of Washington, and if a schedule revision is brought up Hunt hopes to be able to get a game with Oregon for this fs’'
