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.

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. 1,918.
