University Man Describes Work of Marines at Miami Camp Tf at the men in the service still have a vital interest in college is shown in a letter received by J>ean Morton from Carl Nelson who is at the Marine Flying field in Miami, Florida. lie s ys: “I get The Emerald and read it eagerly. You have no idea how the old feeling sticks, how vital <:n interest college has to 11s who are in the service and far away. Make them keep tip the old traditions and spirit, and above (VI the old fight. Well never forget them if they lose that, even tf they lose all their football games. Things seem to lie going well ex cept for the fin, and I know old Oregon is going to pull through with fly ing col ors. We are all proud of the work going on there. ‘‘The Marine field is located about six miles northwest of Miami on the edge of the Everglades. Yon can guess the joys of living here so close to swamps. M s quitoes, sand fleas and flics all manner of crawling things abound here by the billion. The rains are over now though, and things should improve including the temperature wlticii has been altogether too hot for any comfort. Miami is a bright, up-to-date, winter tourist town of about 30,000 people principally north erners. “I was terribly shocked to get. the clip ping telling of Les Tooze’s death by it German sniper’s bullet. Both l.es and Lamar were sort of ideals of mine. It was a promising life that was snuffed nut when some damned Dutchman got him. If th< y get what they deserve in these pence negotiations we’ll have to find some way *0 transport ll"‘ whole nation to hell, for it’s the only place where they will find suitable company,” “We left Tech about September 20 and had a fine trip down here by boat, my first ocean voyage. It was quite ex citing, too, as we were continually on the lookout for the big submarine that had been raising havoc along the coast. Had to put in to Hampton Hoads and be escorted a ways by it destroyer.” PERSONALS I * ¥ | ■k Knp]>n Kappa Gamma entertained Snt urduy evening in hnmn' of Misj Kurile Thurber, Leila Marsh.

Brother of University Girl, Killed in Action. Word was received last night at the Delta Gamma house of the death in France of Harold Morrow, brother of Luceil Morrow, a junior at the T'niver sity. Miss Morrow was at her- homo in Portland when the word came. It is not known just when she will return to the campus. Harold Morrow was a student at O. A. O'. when he enlisted and went to Camp Lewis. He had been in France about three months and was killed in action. 0. T. C. PLANS GO AHEAD Fourth Camp May Be Held if Peace Is Declared. The fourth Oregon State Officers’ Training Camp will open Saturday, No 1 vember 23, if all plans are carried out that are in progress now. is the state ment of the O. T. C. headquarters. An abrupt ending of the war in the meantime, would, of course, stop the plans, according to a statement given ' out by .the president’s office, by remov ing the incentive for the camps. But unless definite peace comps about berori the opening date, the fourth camp will be held and there is some doubt as to whether that would stop the plans for at least some time. Training might be con tinued even then for a short period. A great many applications have been received for the fourth camp, and it is estimated by the officers in charge that about .100 men will attend. The instruction personnel will be the same so far as is known now. The only I changes that might come about would he due to the fact that some of the in structors might be called to the central officers’ training camps—which is not expected at present. PHILIPS LIKES ARTILLERY Oregon Lieutenant Writes in Praise of Camp Taylor. A letter from Lieutenant Norman Phil ips from Camp Zachary Taylor has been received by Mrs. M. F. McClain, circu lation librarian. Lieutenant Philips, while a student at the University, was a stu dent assistant in the library. Lieutenant Philips writes that Camp Taylor is a very large camp accommo dating about 00,000 men with 5,000 of these attending the artillery school. lie says that the students there must know all parts of the mechanism of the French 75’s, and the 3-inch British piece as well as the mechanism of the American pieces. There is a lot of work connecj j ed with the receipt of a commission iu artillery, but it is by far the best branch; of the service, lieutenant Philips says. He says that several Oregon men ar« there, among ithem Hob McXary. The “flu” had everyone on the jump there for awhile but at the time of writingj he said, it is on the wane. He gives his impression of the camp, as being a very big camp wrapped in the principal of winning the war. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS BACK Miss Blanche Hughes and Miss Char lotte Patterson, assistants in the library,) are back to their positions after having; i, been ill several weeks with influenza.
