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 -

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. H. I?.

Attended by Professor Young.
Compulsory athletics for S. A. T. C.
men has caused more men to take an
active interest in soccer. Lust night
fourteen were seen on the field, among
Ibis number being many interscholnstie
stars, and some of last year’s men, Her
man land, Sam f<ehman, Dick Thompson
and ll.iseltine Sehmeer were out in uni

Although kiddie O’Connell is in eharge
of athletics, Roy Kiley, former hack on

having played the game for over ten
years. William 1’ Vance, the V. M. C.
V man, has been helping the hoys dur
ing the absence of Riley, who has been
confined to the hospital, suffering from f
influenza.
If the proper spirit is shown, Athletic
Supervisor O'Connell expects to arrange
a schedule of gam. 's, which will include
two with O \ C„ one with Multnomah
Club of Portland, and. it is hoped, one
with a shipyard team.
Inter company soccer will also bo play
ed. which will necessitate two teams, and
lliley wants as tnanv men as can afford
the time to report for practice,

| Americans Will Have Chance
for Work in European
Culture Seats.
j An opportunity to attend the famous
: universities of France and England will
be given the college men of the Ameri
can Army who will be in Europe when
the war is over and while waiting for
demobilization, according to an article
in the “Stars and Stripes,” the official
organ of the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, dated September 28,
The plan, however, also includes every
1 American soldier for all are to have a
, i hnnee to go to school under army con
trol and to ndd to his education by study
whether he is unable to read or write
or is a college senior.
Instruction is to be carried on under
the classroom system, the article states,
and is provided for at all posts, canton
ments, hospitals, and rest camps. Tin
work is to be started while the war is
being carried on but it is planned to
widen it during the period of demobiliza
1 tion when hostilities have ceased thus
| giving the opportunity for attending the
j higher institutions.
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. Where military
| duties interfere a card will lie given the
soldier and he will be transferred where
he may resume his studies when the op
portunity is offered.
During the war courses will be offer
ed to the men in the French language;
history character and institutions of the
French and English people; causes of
the war and America’s participation
therein; courses in common school sub
jects; special courses for examination
for promotion.
Work in Post Schools.
While the army is deurobolizing await
ing transportation to me states, the po.-t
schools will otter courses m English lit
erature, modern history, civics, book
keeping, accounting, stenography, t it -
i montary biology, hygiene, and other aub
| jeets to lie selected. Vocational courses
will also be offered in division army
corps and special rchoois.
.Stiidtias will be allotted to the various
educational institutions a certain mini
tier being chosen from each division,
with alternates to insure full attendance
from etch unit. Candidates for entrance
to me colleges must pass examinations
or produce credent als as to educational
work already accomplished.
Teachers for instruction in these arm)
schools will be drawn from the tiigh
schools and universities throughout the
l * lilt till States. Arm) officers will also
act as instructors where the) arc fitted
for the work by their civil life callings.
Instructors from the French secondary
schools will continue to I meli French.
It is estimated that this plan will bring
to France $5,000,000 worth of text
books and 1,000 instructors from the
American sob >!s and colleges.
