To organize or not to organize; that's been the question lie fore the members of the various classes at Hendricks hall this week. Long ago the sophomores elected Stella Sullivan to head their members, and they have progressed under the so called oppressing rule of organization and have done much in their skillful handling of the freshman initiation. Following the example set by their su periors. the freshmen have organized, electing Marie Holden, president; Helen Clark, secretary and treasurer, and Mar garet llussell sergeant-at-arms. The seniors met on Tuesday night, saw the profound wisdom of organiza tion and also elected officers. These are, [.resident, Mrs. Katherine Johnson; sec retary and treasurer, Frances Stiles; sergeant-at-arms, Morieta Howard. Rut members of the junior class feel themselves above the need of such an of ficial banding together. "We understand each other perfectly,” they say.-‘‘We be 'ieve in an absolute democracy, mob 'ole, with abandon of all offices and the :al»e ar.d unjust sway exerted by those Invested with power is absolutely ad verse to our fundamental principles.” A demonstr.u; in of what they will be ahb> to ('■ in their present anarchistic state is to lie ex; ected in the near fu ture. ► ALPHA TAU OMEGA ♦ ► announces the pledging of ♦ j ► SYDNEY TEWKESBURY, • , ► of Portland. ♦ ► ASA EGGLESON, * j * of Enterprise. ♦ j Lamar Tooze Tells How Leslie Died Oregon Man, Utterly Regardless of Danger Amid Hail of Ma chine Gun Fire; His Men C ry at Funeral. A letter from Lamar Tooze to the Beta Theta I’i chapter here, gives the details of the death of his brother, Leslie, who was killed by a Berman sniper on Sept. 2S The letter in part follows: “Our regiment was in the big battle of-. but my battalion was not or dered into the front lines until Satur day. Leslie had the 2nd platoons of his i company and war' in the first wave. I 1 was in charge of the snipers and scouts, and ray work carried me into every part of the line. I saw Leslie several times in the morning and cautioned him repeat- | edly about taking cover whenever prae- 1 tumble. He was positively regardless of personal danger: ho didn’t know what fear meant. He seemed to be solicitous about my welfare only, because be al ways had said he thought I would get reckless in action. 'Why. 1 saw him 1 ok ing over the edge of a shell hole toward a place where he suspected machine guns, in full view of the enemy, and un der constant fire, as if the bullets were pens. The last time 1 saw him was at 2 p. m. at a farm. His advance had been halted by some snipers in the woods. T v. as ordered to take four men and mop (hem up. Before leaving I cautioned Les lie again. ‘I'm all right. Lem; yen watch out for yourself. You should have seen the first and second platoons clean out of this farm.’ and he laughed enthusi astically. When I returned from my mis sion after the snipers, he had gone for ward. Within two hours his platoon had advanced a half a mile under a storm of bullets and shrapnel, through woods alive with machine guns to a ridge 100 yards beyond the woods, where late in the af ternoon a sniper singled him out as the leader (for he was always at the head of his platoon in the thickest of the fight)_ and sent a bullet through the base of his brain. He died instantly. The platoon got no further and had to retreat to the edge of the woods where we dug in. “Volunteers from his company crossed that bullet-swept ridge and recovered his' body. Those men of his were gallant fel lows and would have gone anywhere with Les., because he had their full confi dence. We laid him to rest the next day at —:—. It was a painful and solemn duty to have to supervise the funeral arrange ments, but it was comforting to know that lie was laid to rest with a degree of decency. The men in his platoon cried like children: men who h:ul been in the! face of death a hundred times. These men are wonderful, 1 tell you. They are j inexorable in their fighting spirit, and : soft of heart. 1 plan on removing the remains to the States after the war. The grave is plainly marked. He rests be tween —-and - of our regiment. I i feel T am licensed to tell you what his ' men told me. that his death was marked ] by conspicuous gallantry 'and was due i to his strict obedience’ to that ridge at j "Time is no g'ory in war. boys. The glory lies in the spirit of our brave men who have shown such splendid traits of bravery and softness of heart at times when death and peril lurked in every bush and every place. Why, I saw men wade right through a hail of machine gun , bullets with parade-ground precision. | never wavering always advancing. I j could tell you a dozen stories of heroism I and s< lf-sacrifice. "We all had close calls, principally from artillery and by the way. machine guns and rifle fire are not nearly s.> bad as an artillery bombardment. Two of my snipers wore killed and one gassed out of 27 men in the section. One of my men was fatally wounded not 10 feet from me—struck by a shell. Such nerve as he showed! With Wood gushing from a gash in his neck, he smiled at me and said. ‘Well. Lieutenant, they’ve got me. Just lay me out straight, make me comfort able and write my mother.’ I got him to a hospit.al, but poor fellow, he died the next evening. At the time he was struck we were returning from I.eslie’s funeral. Another time I laid as flat as a pancake for five minutes with machine gun bul lets kicking up the dirt all around me, wounding a man on my right, and one bullet went through the coat of a man on my left. And another time Lieut. Mike Walker fa Sigma Nu from Oregon) and T ran a gauntlet of bullets, and bow we got through unhurt still is marvelous to me. "We leave in a day or two for another sector. We are all ready to get into a fight again because the more we battle the quicker will the war be ended, and we will return home. The American army lias a splendid reputation, and the tac tics introduced by General Pershing and his associates are responsible for the victories oil the whole front.” V. SECRETARY TALKS TO COMMERCE CLASS Rev. James Elvin, Fresh From Trenches, Shows Iron Cross Souvenir. Reverend James Elvin, who has just returned from France, where he was sta tioned as a Y. M. C.

Ring ing at the l niversity is easily organized, Dr. Landsbury said this morning, and the Oregon spirit will now dominate more than the S. A. T.
