Men Quartered at Same Place
to Be In Same
Platoon.
The Student Army Training Corps has
been organised into two companies to be
known 11s A and 15. They are to be di
vided into eight platoons, b ur platoons
to each company. These platoons will
consist of from 45 to 58 men each.
Men who have had previous experience
in army training will be acting non-com
missioned officers. They will be divided
as evenly us possible among the pla
toons.
Lieutenant Edward Itadcliffe is to
have charge of company A, and with
him is Lieutenant Cornelius Willis. Lieu
tenants Frank Spratlin Jr., and Rondo
H. Purtridge have charge of company lb
The bn sis of division into platoon* and
companies is being made according to
the way in which the men are housed so
that the men in the same- platoons and if
possible the same companies will be in
the same plnee.
The equipment, which consists of beds
and bedding which the T'niversity linn
ordered so that the S. A. T. C. men
may he made comfortable is now on the
way. Thus the men who have been forc
ed to sleep on straw tieks will soon be
more adequately provided for. Ammuni
tion has also be< n ordered.
It is sported that the barracks which
are under construction on the golf fields
just east of University avenue will be
ready by the first of November. 'I lie
twenty-five thousand dollar fund for the
building of the barracks was furnished
by the merchants of Eugene. The bar
racks are to be rented to the University
until funds have been raised to purchase
them when they will become part of the
University buildings.

Thus does the eager man in the mail

precious missive may lie waiting him.
Twice daily the men try their luck
at the window in the upper floor of the

they vow that next time they will be the

One man came away from the window
Friday morning trying to hide a life-size

PMCM COURSES
Work In Ship Drafting and Mili
tary Sketching
Offered
Ship drafting, military sketching, nor
mal art and principles of French archi
tecture are among the new courses of
fered this year by the school of archi
tecture and the art department to meet
the demands of students who wish to ap
ply such training to practical use during
war times.
“Many opportunities are now open,”
said Professor I’. P. Adams, “to students
who have had training in ship drafting.”
As men are being taken every day from
ship yards and put into combative ser
vice Professor Adams believes that, (here
will soon he a great demand for women
with training along this line. The course
offered by Professor Adams is a two
hour course- Students wishing to enroll
must have mechanical drawing as a pre
requisite.
The normal art course offered this
year by Miss Helen Rhodes in conjunc
tion with Professor Alfred II. Schroff, is
the first of its kind to be given in the
northwest. The training is offered to pre
pare students to meet the present de
mand throughout the state for art teach
ers in the high schools. Included in the
course are elementary design, lettering
and representation, under Miss Rhodes,
theory of color, under Professor Schroff,
and constructive drawing, under Profes
sor Adams. There are twelve students
now enrolled in these classes.
Somo Courses Offered in Evening
The military sketching course has not
yet been fully arranged. “We have found
it difficult this year,” said Professor
Sehroff, “to adopt our classes to suit the
men who are members of the S. A. T. C.”
As a result Professor Sehroff is offering
several of his art courses in the eve
ning.
The school of architecture,1 which las
year carried off many high honors at the
Beaux Arts Institute of Design, New
York, is this year finding existence under
the new military regime difficult. Of
the twenty-two men who enrolled in the
school at the opening of college less than
half of that number have found it pos
sible to continue their courses.
Three members of the architecture
faculty last year are now in the service,
I Professor Boswell Dosch, was commis
sioned second lieutenant in the United
I Stall's army at the Presidio this sum
mei and is now personnel officer at Reed
college. Professor Frederick Fritsch ’s
now in France with the base hospital unit
and Professor Bonis Rosenberg is with
the camouflage division now in France. J
Miss Rhodes Back.
Miss Helen Rhodes, who was in charge
of the art department at the University
this summer will remain with the Uni
versity this year. Miss Rhodes studied
art at the National Academy of Design,
New York, and at Folitmbin University
under Arthur W. Dow. She has taught
art in the New York City Normal school,
the University of Pittsburg and at Bell
ingham Normal School. Washington
state. Before coming to the University
Miss Rhodes taught in the Portland high
si hools.

TO CARE FDR SICK
Miss Morris, Miss Calef and
Eva Hansen Nursing U.
of 0. Girls.
The task of nursing the steadily in
creasing number of sick, at the infirm
aries, and at Hendricks Hall has fallen
on the shoulders of the three trained wo
men available, Miss Margaret Morris,
Miss Mira Calef and Miss Eva Hansen,
a junior in the University.
Miss Morris and Miss Calef nr both
trained nurses from the Good Samara
tin hospital in Portland and Eva Han
sen took her training in the Recon
struction course offered at Reed College
this summer. The youngest one to
complete the course, Miss Hansen was
among the first to be recommended for
foreign service and expects to receive her
call sometime this winter.
Place Offered MPs Hansen
During the summer Miss Hansen as
sisted Dr. Elmer Carlson in the teach
ing of anatomy and was offered a posi
tion for the winter teaching anatomy'
and assisting in the clinic there.
The work in the course consisted in |
giving massage and remedial exereses to
hospital patients which the doctors
turned over to the students and of giv
ing treatments to all types of cripple
children. “We could really see marked
improvements in a short time in the
cases of the children,” Miss Hansen said,
“and you can imagine how encouraged
we were.”
In addition to this the students
watched operations of every kind. Miss
Hansen said that they were allowed to
ask questions during the operations and
the process was explained step by step.
The operations selected were types that
would be especially valuable in war time j
surgery.
Girls In War Course Help
Besides Miss Hansen ns nil assistant.
Miss Morris lias the girls who are en- j
rolled in the war coil-re for nurses, de
tailed in groups of twos to help her.
This work is to form part of their
training in practical nursing. Caroline
Alexander; Grayce Sage. Betty lvpping,
Helen Woodcock, Betty Kessi, Kather
ine Livengood, Evalena Calvert, and Es
tlier Banks, are the girls enrolled in the
course. Esther Banks has hreceived
her appointment to Camp Lewis. She
expects to leave about th first of the
year.
The girls who have enlisted in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve re
ceive their appointments direct from
Washington, while the girls who are on
ly enlistd in the war course for nurses
course. Esther Banks has received
their appointments for Camp Lewis
from the University. However none of
these girls will leave before their first i
three months of training ends, that is;
the last of December. The period that
they train here will serve as the proba- j
tion in part in detail hospital work. >
Mrs. B. L. Campbell has been work- i
ing almost unceasingly in equipping- the j
infirmaries. Mrs. Teressa Jackson, ot
Eugene, who has taken Bed Cross
courses in nursing, is helping out at. the
Hall, and Miss Gertrude Talbot head '
resident of Hendricks Hall has been;
putting in on the average of Hi hours a j
day looking after the girls who are not j
sick enough for the infirmaries. Miss
Talbot says that in every phase of
the work she has met with a wonderful
spirit of co-operation on the part of all
who are connected with any part of the
work.
i UNIVERSITY W0MEI9
TO MIKE SANDBAGS
Trench Protectors Will Be Sup-?
plied, at Suggestion of
Colonel Leader.
To the women of the University an
other patriotic demand lias come. Col
onel Leader needs sand-hags! Anywhere
from 50 to 1000 sand-bags. Trench
work nuts' stop unless they are supplied,
and the university cannot afford them
at twenty cents apiece.
The lied Cross committee held a hasty
meeting this morning under the direction
of Bernice Spencer, president, and de
cided to appeal to university women,
students and faculty wives. Scraps of
any material, any color, will be wel
comed.
"They do not have to be made of es
pecially strong stuff.*’ said Miss S|>en
oer. "After they ire placed along the
trench they will not be moved. A box
: will l>e ready for all materials at the V.
; W. C. A. Bungalow. We girls can make
the bags but we must have the cloth.”
All donations will be taken Monday,
j Tuesday and Wednesday when the bags
I must he finished ready for the trenches.
