THE EMERALD IS SAFE It is a compliment to the student body and the strongest verification that the Oregon Spirit is still alive on the Ore gon campus that the Emerald subscrip tion drive has been a success. So genu in;' was the support that the Emerald is now placed on its firmest financial foun dation, has the largest circulation it has eve: had, and is placed in a new and big ger position on ibe campus. To ‘.his added circulation attaches an added Importance beyond the mere fi nancial benefit the subscription price will give the Emerald. The influence! of the paper in keeping the student body in formed on student affairs and keeping alive the Oregon Spirit in the most crit ical time in the life of the University is perhaps even wore important to the present student holy and to the Oregon men now in the sevvl.e Thu spirit shown during the drive in Itself is a great assurance for the future of Oregon Spirit until the University lots again assumed its normal basis when after the war all Oregon men will be back and Oregon will have a permanent student body. CeHalnly 't is u credit to the large group of Oregon students who have been at the Uulversiy but one mouth. The Emerald is safe. Ttunk you. OREGON’S VARSITY HAND "What importance to the old Otegon tight is the University baud! Oregon tins always been fortunate in having a strong band through student interest and able directors, and because of thi»s fact there never has been an illustration of what the band has been doing as an aid to the Oregon Spirit. When Albert Perfect, director, could not get his men organized tliits fall be cause of the influenza epidemic, Oregon bad its best opportunity to observe by contrast tin value of the Varsity baud. Huntington noticed it, the men on the field at the yell practice felt it. and old men at Oregon thought the Oregon Spirit was in need of revival ceremonies as never before. The band, now fully organized and de r! .red by Mr. Perfect to be the best material ever assembled at the I'niver •ity, showed its worth as « rooting as- ) let yesterday. With virtually every man out, the bleachers on Kiueavl showed first -.igns of red life and a willingness to get behind the old fight. There are vet several opportunities to Join Or* ron’s best band organization - u g od .-I rue to serve Oregon Spirit we 1. I'o value . f the band to Oregon 'annot tie overc. timated. THE RED TRIANGLE HUT If Ri -uie thinks lw giving to some- i thing indefinite and far away when he Mil scribes to tin $tl.dOO being asked in the I’nited War Work campaign he should be sell! to take a look at the fast rising walls of the new Y. M. C. A. hut just west of the library. When a man gives away his money he wants to feel assured that it is being put to some worthy use. Tlmre is no finer work anywhere than is being carried on by the great Bed Triangle among the soldiers both over seas and in American training camps. As to the local campaign for funds, it should be remembered that just one | of the six organizations benefiting from ! the .$0,000 has already appropriated ; $8,700 to be expended for the benefit of j the military men in the University Training camps. This amount is now set aside and would be expended as planned if the University gave nothing in return. The benefits of the hut on the campus will not 1)0 felt alone by the men, for Dr. Vance has announced that during drill hours the building would be freely open for the use of the women. It will contain the largest auditorium on the campus and will be available for student assemblies when neecssLt.v arises. The Y. M. ('. A. alone is worthy of the hearty support of the students in the coming drive aud the same thing can be said of each of the other organizations represented, so it is decidedly up to Oregon to "go over the top” November 11 to 18.

Leaves of Absence Likely. Possibly while peace negotiations are going on it is planned that officers anil enlisted men shall be given leaves of ab sence from their units to attend such classic institutions as Oxford, Cam bridge, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, the Sor lionne, and the Universities of Paris and Bordeaux. These soldier students will receive credit in the American universi ties for the courses followed in Europe. The whole system has been worked out by the Army Education Commission of the Y. M. O. A. with the approval of the commander-in-ehief. and with tho active support of the president and the secretary of war. General orders state that attendance will not iie compulsory except in special instances but soldiers must finish the course they have started.
