WHERE IS THE OLD SPIRIT?
8. A. T. C. officers at the University,
all of them former University men, are
disappointed in not finding the Oregon
Spirit on the campus. Before being as
signed here they had heard of the Ore
gon fight thut enabled Oregon with a
small number of men to choose from to
win year after year in Oregon, in the
Northwest and Coast conferences, and
in the East vs. West game in I’asmjena,
Calif., two years ago. Undoubtedly such
a University with such a spirit would be
quirk to pick up military w'ork and
spirit and be an enjoyable place to work
with men naturally fitted by this spirit
for advancement into officers training
cutups. Now they are here and find tho
Oregon Spirit they had heard about is
goin- with the Oregon men in the ser
vice and not aroused in tho now men iu
the S. A. T. a
But they are not the only campus body
to be disappointed. There is the Huiall
who wishes to earn her living by other
body of old men who have been work
ing for Oregon this year as ever, and the
faculty of Oregon. They are disappoint
ed that the new tuen show no interest
in the one thing that sets this Univer
sity above the ordinary college.
Oregon men in the service must he
■hewn that they did not take all the Ore
gon Spirit with them—that their Uui
versity still will have the old fight and
be a good place to go back to after the
war. A sli p in the right direction was
taken last night by the student council
when they declared for tryouts in the se
lection of a yell leader that popular
chidre shall gi\c Oregon a leader that
the rooters will follow.
Oregon must come hack to the old
standard on this campus. (Jet the best
man out of your platoon and send him
to Orput Saturday to lead a few for the
lemon-yellow.
COILEUE VS. INDUSTRY.
‘•Opportunity has opened wide the,
door for women, liven before the pres
ent war demanded so much from Amer
ican women there were increasing ex-!
plorers in vocational fields. Hut today
our colleges are filled as never before
v th young women who are seeking an
education whi -h will direct thought and
eh it icter definitely to some serviceable
activity. The colleges are offering a
broader choice of courses for the woman
wh" wishes to earn her living by other
methods than teaching The University
adviser is finding it necessary to bo well
informed on the vocations which are
opening for women and the best train
ing for those lines With our young
men “over there" giving themselves to
anvc the democracy wo cherish, the
ting women “over here" are giving
tleVlselves to a great*! usefulness than
Auicwonn w manhood has ever krown
Infer A"
Thelnbovc ypt-oaHon was taken from
a current magazine devoted to women’s
interests and suggests the idea that the
college women are doing a patriotic bit
when they look ahead and prepare them
selves for a definite line of service as
soon as they receive the necessary train
ing.
By fitting themselves to do efficiently
the work of the men who will not come
hack from the Great War, the women
are serving their country ns much as
if they went to France or Washington,
D. C.
It may lack the thrill of the more
evident service hut in the end it will be
a real contribution to the welfare of the
country.
Rack in those days men came to Ore
gon because they had heard of the Ore
gon Spirit and wanted to be Oregon men.
Freshman, why did you come to Oregon
in preference to some other college?
Members of the Officers’ Training
Corps gathered in front of the Oregana
last night and sang, “As I Sit und
Itream at Evening.” Some of them had
exceedingly good voices—and it was
good anyway to hear them sing Oregon
songs. The campus would like it if they
could stay longer ns Oregon men.
Where is that knot or even bevy of
freshmen who have gathered for an
Oregon song feHt as did the O. T. C.
men last night? Who are the Oregon
men?
Woe For Freshmen
Green Caps Can’t Be
Worn With Uniforms
'The little greeu caps, worn commonly
and exclusively by the freshmen, the
"worms «£ the earth,” are to lie burned
maybe.
Since the beginning of time, it has
been the custom for the trash to wear
the distinguishing murk of a round, greeu
piece of cloth, stuck on the top of the
head. During Junior Week-end they
have in past years beeu allowed to burn
these, with appropriate ceremonies.
Rut this year uniforms arc to be is
sued to ill the college men and the gov
ernment his decided that a green cap
does not go well with a uniform. There
fore arose the question of what to do
with the frosli cups after the issuance
of uniforms. The problem will undobut
edly he solved by burning the caps as
usual, but this time in tiie fall of the
year.
The upperclassmen are now deciding
when this bonfire shall he built. The
sophomores are reminding the frosli that
the water runs cold in the mill race,
and that a little swim is one of the fea
tures accompanying the burning of the
caps.

Campus Committee Meets To
Consider Oregon’s Part in
$170,000,000 Drive.
A campus committee was called to
gether iu President Campbell’s office
Tuesday afternoon to plan for the Unit
ed War Work campaign which is to be
launched November 11 to IS at the Uni
versity.
Dr. A. E. Caswell, campus director
of the united drive, brought before the
committee the results of both the state
and the northwest conferences held in
Portland recently in the interests of the
big drive.
The united drive, lie said, is made not
only with government sanction but is
practically a government order. Under
this plan the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A.,
Knights >f Columbus, Keereation Cen
ter Board, Salvation Army, Jewish Wel
fare Commission and Camp Library As
sociation will unite in one drive for funds
to carry on their various war activities.
The total sum received will be pooled
and each organization will have a pro
portionate share.
Sharo Apportioned Like Taxes
The united drive is after $170,000,000
in America. To each state and each
county is given a quota of this amount
to raise, the money lining apportioned
like taxes. The University of Oregon’s
hare will lie counted a part of Land
county’s quota, although the raising of it
will be entirely independent of the cam
paign in the county.
"The colleges of the state will lie giv
en opportunity to decide the amount they
will undertake to raise,” said Dr. Cas
well, “although the conference appor
tioned umonints tentatively, based on the
number of students in each organiza
tion. ”
The amount which Oregon will pledge
toward the campaign lias not been an
nounced.
Personnel of Committee
The committee which laid the first
plans for the coming drive on the cam
pus was composed of President Camp
hell; Dr. Caswell, director; Major J. A.
McKinnon, and Sergeant-major F. W.
Snyder, representing the military or
ganizations; Doan D. W. Morton, from
the faculty William F. Vance and Her
ald While, representing tile Y. M. O. A.
Miss Dorothy Collier and Helen Fron
ton, representing the Y. W. C. A ; and
Paul Spangler, president of the student
body.
MIX IS POSTPONED AGAIN
Continuance of Influenza Causes Delay;
May Bo Held Nov. 9.
Owing to flu- influenza it lias boon
decided by those in authority that the
under-class mix shall not lie held this
Saturday, as had been planned by Ned
Fowler, chairman of the junior commit
tee on tin' affair. Decent deaths and the
fact flint the epidemic is not .vet quite
conquered have caused the postpone
ment.

event would tie held if he had to wait
until Christmas for a date to hold it.
Tiie next date open appears to lie No
vember 9, when Oregon plays its first
football game of the season with O.

the sophomores one of the time-hon
ored traditions of Crop ui, and every ef
fort is In in? put forth by the junior
conn ittee to put over a mix this year
and put i: over right. The sophomores
also are awaiting the event with a gr nt
deal of interest, while the freshmen have
tie* announced the position they have
♦alee 1 in the matter which does not make
any particular difference.
