Rejoiced that the terrible slaughter of the past four years wuis at an end; rejoiced that Prus sian militarism had been definitely and derisively banished and rejoined that the •world might once again move smoothly nloug I he pat hs of peace, happiness and prosperity. Kor the University the end of the war means more than the resumption of nor mal activities as we knew them before the United States entered the struggle — It means the opening of if new era in the work of the University 'and in the plane It is to occupy in the eommonwenlth of Oregon. During the war and by reason of its efficient war service, the Univer sity has established itself in the life of the state more securely than ever. The position which Oregon won for itself is pointedly expressed in the words of Al ma l>. Katz, representative for the l*ia :ifie coast of the Military Training Camps Association, when he said, "Eugene and the University of Oregon is tile milita ry center of Oregon.” To* the University, as an educational Institution in peace times, the state will look for accomplishments in proportion to the record it has made in military ac tivities, but greater than this demand will he 'that made by those who left the University to sacrifice their lives, If necessary, that the principles of demo erney for which the University stands might he secured for those who have suffered oppression at the hands of au tocratic Germany. These men went cheerfully to the front as representa'tives of Oregon in the ranks of the fighting men of the United States, and their alma mater has accepted and pointed with pride to them ns her contribution ;o the cause of demoerm-y. To thoM- moil llio l'niversity owes a debt beside w 11it*lt nil she has done in their In-half as an eduontional np -nt seems lint trivial. To some of them she, iiinl (In- wholo nation, will remain debt ni's without tin- pi vlloge, or opportunity of i-*' i my in vr tin- debt ovi-n partially, but !o those who ri-turn she will have tin- i spportunlfv of expressing in forms of service rendered some part >f ln-r ap proi-inl i -a for what tln-y have uocoin I lislioil. Oregon's task now is to fl( horsolf to glw the greatest servlet to the returning men who fought her battles by providing vis,.!, and efficiently f r thoir training ir- the pursuits of peace. In the past sin ins accomplished this end In a manner to bring the commendation of all, but the educational demands to be made upon the oolli r-o ■ i ,d universities of the eoiin tr.v in the coming few years are to t-e n ude upon the colleges ami universities cf the countr\ in the coming few years are to he sueh as pre-vnir system of (raining cm loin- to fulfill. A new svsti m answi ring every require ment that the period of the world’s re fouetruction may bring, or a reeonstrue lion of the existing systems of education will be necessary. What changes will be required only contact and experience with the lapidly shifting conditions can determine. But the University must be observant and ready, that she may meet intelligently and effectively every and any demand which the future may bring. And upon the student body also rests « responsibility coincident with the close of the war. Soon from the battle fronts or Europe ar.d from the ntvr.y anti nsvry training camps will be returning the “Men of Oregon.” In leaving they left the student side of the University to those whom, by reason of circumstances, i were unable to offer themselves to the cause of liberty. With them they left the traditions and customs, the spirit arid Life at Oregon. In what aspect are they to view the results of our stewardship upon their return V FOUR DAYS LEFT With Oregon’s biggest gnme of tho year but four days off, a game to be played on the Corvallis grounds, it is disheartening to witness the spirit of Oregon. lief ore ,ii> (). A. <gnme, Oregon men have never shown signs of n pint by ns they did yesterday when “Nick” farter put it up to the Oregon men assembled after the jntereompnny gnme whether they would have the rooting practice which is so badly needed if Oregon is to back her team Saturday. Carter expect ed that the old Oregon Spirit would start things rolling with a strong affirm ative. The answer with few exceptions was a lazy “no.” This was |lie involuntary expression of Oregon’s present student, body. After “Shy" Huntington suggested that ttie yell prndtiee should go ahead, the rooters were quick to see that, it was necessary to Oregon and stayed for a short prac tice. }!ut it wan clear from the first ex pression tlmt Oregon is not taking the interest in Oregon football that they should and must this year. If they had tile Oregon fight they would not have said “no” without even thinking. Oregon this year lias a team which Saturday went through their first real heat for the University and on Camp Lewis’ home field, carried off a decided victory. It is a team composed of well trained, well-coached fighters. Oregon lias always had good teams and has been defeated by O. A. C. only throe times since tlie Spanish-American war; hut during that time any Oregon team would have been hacked by I lie Oregon Spirit. Oregon’s team this season certainly de serves Oregon support. If the Oregon 1(01111 does pot get tins support it will be hard to face O. A. C. lute Saturday afternoon, after they have defeated Oregon for tin' second consecu tive time, it will lie harder to face Ore gon’s alumni who have helped build Ore gon’s nation-wide football reputation when they begin coming buck next fall. Four days is a short time to change the present spirit of Oregon back into the Oregon Spirit, but it must lie done or tlie present student body deserves to he shun out of the confidence of tlie Uni vefsity as poor Oregon men and women. Rooting practice will be tomorrow af ternoon. It ought to be a real rally and probably it will be THOSE GREEN CAPS Tlip uniforms for tho S A.

It is possihlo thov will not ho sent If this should he tho ease, tho tradition of the Kroon oap for Freshmen may not lx1 a thitiK of tho past after all. At any rate, since the uniforms are still missing, it is not yef tho privilege of any Fresh to dispense with his green oap on any oc casion. \ud yesterday morning when the students of tho Fniversity of Oregon wore gathered in tho bleachers on Kin caid Field to listen to the terms of the armistice which had just boon signed, about one Freshman in four was able, after much frantic searching in his va rious pockets, to produce his green cap when upper classmen shouted “Put on your cap the war is over.” They had been marching in the parade without them. The wearing of Frosh caps is one of Oivgou's oldest traditions It is a mark. of identification between Frosh and Frosh and between other students and Frosh; it is one of the boasted demo cracies of Oregon, for if point# out the new man to the rest of the student body who welcome him with the Oregon “Hello.” Do not Jet this tradition be come weakened because of lessened vig ilance on the part of either Freshmen or upper classmen- E. A. dhteIFftI SI IT YET SET ; Community Around University Must First Be Free of Flu, Is Decision. Assurance that the ban on the Univer sity will be lifted by next Saturday can not be promised at this time, according to I>r. John I*'. Bovard, chairman of the student health committee. According to the ruling made by the State Board of Health the ban shall nott be lifted on a community unless the districts on both sides are also free from the disease. This will mean that though the University is practically free from infleunza at pres ent the ban will have to be lifted in Eu gene before it can become effective on. the campus. "Even if the ban is lifted,” Dr. Bovard said, ‘‘there is danger of spreading in fection again, for two persons with the disease who are walking about can start the epidemic all over again.” It is for that reason that Dr. Bovard is keeping up the daily health reports, though the University is in good shape. The continued Co-operation of the Uni versity students and faculty is urged by Dr. Bovard in order that the ban may be lifted at the earliest possible time. Residents at Hendricks Hall Entertained With Vaude ville Stunts. The Fanusi Ivhiyan girls made their debut at Hendricks Hall last Friday evening. Whispers lmd been floating around the hall all morning that a vaudeville was to lie held ; so the audi ence arrived : dressed in every imagin able way, ready for a frolic. Their expectations were delightfully ; fulfilled in tlu> singing, dancing, and dia- | logue stunts- The performance began with a ballet which cleverly imperson- i ated a military drill. The next act was some graceful aesthetic dancing by Hel en Clark. Tli-u came some, interesting gossip by Fatty French and Francos Stiles, about the girls in the house. A feature which brought the house down was an exact reproduction of some many funny incidents in the infirmary. The Flueltes groaned and pulled off all sorts of stunts, nearly driving the nurse into nervour prostntion. The eutetainment concluded with a chons of popular songs, in which the audience was asked to join. Then the players and audience mingled in a lively dance. I'll" Fanusi Khivan girls partaking in the vaudeville were Helen Clark. Evelyn Smith, Alys Suitton. Marion Bowen, Fatty French, Cornelia Ileess and Frsn > s Stiles. The latest Fanusi Ivhiyan pledge is Helen Watts.
