USED B! S. I. T. C.
Military Organizations Get!
Many Letters for Campus
Distribution.
I Tin' presence of the S. A. T. C. and ;
i the O- T. C. has onus -d the number of 1
letters handled daily in the University
post office to exceed one thousand a day,
which is four times the number distrib
uted in any one day last year. Approxi
j mately !>50 letters come in the morning
! which are ready for distribution at ten
j thirty, while last year the mail could be
sorted and ready at nine. Mr. Donald
D. Duncan and his two assistants are
now swamped each day. An average of
100 parcel post packages come every
day and about 250 newspapers.
The O. T. C. is divided into six com
panies and the mail reaches the men in
this manner. The S. A T. O. is sep
arated into two companies of four plat
oons each, making practically eight com
panies. The mail is sent lo the bar
racks twice a day. and the officers’
mail is separated from these- Each de
partment niul building of the college has
its separate amount of mail. Hendricks
j Hall sends a girl from the freshman
| class each day for the mail for that
building.
Last year the letters were mostly
business letters and were for either the
l niverity or the dormatories, but this
year men who were formerly in frater
nity houses get their mail through the
college office- Individuals hamper the
speed iu distribution by calling for their
mail at the office when it is sent direct
twice a day to the respective quarters.
Mr. Duncan states, “it would benefit
1 a11 concerned if students would refrain
| from so doing, and it would be greatly
] appreciated by those in the office.”
Petition Not to Be Required
For Reduction Below
Minimum.
Students wishing to lighten their
courses owing to loss of time in the in
fluenza epidemic will be permitted to do
so, even below the 12-hour minimum,
without petition, as a result of action
taken at a special meeting of the faculty
Wednesday afternoon in Guild hall. The
motion was made by Dean Straub. Such
action can be taken, however, under the
resolution ns adopted, only after confer
ence with the student’s adviser or major
professor.
It was made clear in the discussion
ithnt faculty members intend to be len
ient in the matter of making up work
missed in the present emergency, and it
is desired that every student forced to
miss classes feel easy on that point,
since everything possible will be done by
faculty members for the students’ pro
tection.
In opening the meeting President
Campbell called attention to the steady
improvement shown in the epidemic sit
uation. as indicated by the decrease in
the numbef of cases and in ;hc hospital
population. The number of women’s in
firmaries, the president said, bad been
reduced to one, and there is not now a
single sdrious case of influenza among
the women of the University. He desir-1 ,
ed, however, in harmony with the wishes |
of the health committee, to continue ail
health precautions now in force until
danger is definitely and finally past.

FURLOUGH IS SPENT
IN TOUR OWE
Sam Bullock Visits Toulouse,
Monte Cristo and Mar
seilles.
In M letter dated September ”9, Sergt.
Seni Hill! ek, ex-’IS, writes from St.
Jean de Monts, France, where he is in
structor in the Ordnance Armament
School:
i
“'When you have been on this side
for four months you are entitled to a
furlough, the length of which amounts to
about two weeks. Well, we left our
home here at St. Jean de Monts and
journeyed to Nantes. From there we
went south along the Atlantic coast to
•—where we stopped for a while.
Then we crossed France to the south
east, visiting Toulouse and finally reach
ing Marseilles. We had a wonderful time
there, visiting the Chateau d’ If, where
the Count of Monte Cristo was sup
posed to have been imprisoned.
“From Marseilles we traveled along
the Iliviera (do you remember the song, j
“The Sunny Riviera from "The Lilac |
Domino?”) to Nice. I'm not going to at- ;
tempt to describe any of the country. j
my small command of the English lan- i
guage would not do it justice. The Med
iterranean Sen is wonderful and the
whole of that beautiful country is like
you will find no other place.
“We spent a ft w days in Nice and
then went to Monte Carlo. We didn’t
have a chance to gamble—they won’t let
soldiers—but we viewed the Casino and
got many souvenirs. That over, we hop
ped on a street car and rode about six
miles to'the Italian border. Gourds are
posted on either side but wo managed
to go across for long enough to snap
our kodak and record the event.
“From there we rode back to Monte
Carlo, then to Nice and very soon af
terward to Marseilles again. From there j
we took a train going north and trav- I
eled through Dijon, Lyons and went to
Paris and saw more wonderful sights.
A guide took us about the Louvre, No
tre Dame, the Luxemburg Gardens, the
Sorbonne. the Church of the Madeline,
the University of Paris, the Latin Quar
ter and ‘beaueoup’ other places. From
Paris wo journed home again—very
tired but very pleased.”
Sergeant Bullock took the first ord
nance course at the University of Ore
gon and has been iu France since May.
