JELLS« DRIVE
Pormer Architectural Instruc
tor Meets University Wien
t on Battle Front.
Lours C. Rosenberg, former instructor
in the University school of Architecture,
now with a camouflage unit in the Amer
ican Army in France, has written the
following letter to President and Mrs.
Campbell, under date of October 7:
“Time drags a little here with us just
now and it’s a good chance to write a
few friends. I would like to tell you just
where I am at present and about our trip
here, which was full of interesting and
exciting times. You might be able to
guess. Have been in the same drive as
Walter Church, but much to my disap
pointment although very close to him
was unable to see him. Two of us were
detailed to work with his regiment but
it happened that Walter’s company was
out of our sector.
“The second day after the drive start
ed and we had crossed the old front lines
1 ran on to Howard Annette, which was
a great surprise and delight. I don't be
lieve I iver was more pleased to meet
anyone than when he called to me from
the side of the road where he was sta
tioned. Ho had seen Colin Dyment a few
days before who was also in these parts.
“Our American Lake boys went over
the top here, and did very well, showing
good fight and covering the ground fast.
Allan Hopkins, I believe, went with him.
Annett told me of Cy Noble’s death.
I can't csy life has been over interesting
in this spot. We have been subject to air
raids and to shelling all hours of the day
and night, which soon becomes very tire
some. Throe of us are “dug in” in the
sidehill. Our dugout is about six by six
by two feet, which isn't very large, but
we all agree it’s just’ the place.’ We are
not depending on its construction to
withstand any shells. Wc just figured we
selected a spot where none would land,
and I hope our judgment was good.
“Was much interested to hear what
success the R. O. T. C. was having at the 1
University and hope it continues, which j
it no doubt will.”

OREGON’S BIG GAME
(Continued from page one)
Saturday was when .Toe Trowbridge div
ed about ten yards and nabbed Archibald
behind his own line. Trowbridge played a
good game Saturday and the fact that he
was boxing a man who weighed approxi
mately 100 pounds, did not appear to
bother him at all. Wilson and Howard
showed up well at end, as well as any end
could show up on a field as poor as the
one at Corvallis. The Corvallis field is
declared by sport followers to he the
poorest field and in the poorest condition
of any collegiate gridiron in the north
west.
Shy Makes History.
In defeating O. A. C. “Shy” Hunting
ton placed himself in the annals of Ore
gon football history. Both Huntington, of
Oregon, and Hargiss, of O. A. C., arc
spending their first year as coach at the
respective institutions. It was a great
boost to “Shy” to have his men trumpk
over the orange and black as it sure
established him in the front rank of
coaches.
“Bill” Hayward, regardless of the hard
boiled picture of himself in the Sunday
Oregonian, wore a smile a mile broad
after the game. “Bill” now declares that
instead of the Aggies wiuning in 1917,
as history would have it, they will not
win again until 1937. “Bill” says that the
next time the Aggies win he will be an
old man.

Work for Men to Be Planned
by Colleges After This
Term. Says Order.
Courses for men of the S. A. T. C. will
probably not be prescribed by orders
from headquarters after the end of this
term, and the University will be free to
pinn its own program of work, it was an
nounced from the president’s office yes
terday, following receipt of telegraphic
orders from S. A. T. C. headquarters of
this district at Helena, Mont. Modifica
tion of the curriculum is also provided
for in the communication, so that more
time may be given academic subjects.
The University ia allowed to discon
tnue immediately or at the end of the
current term, December 21, courses in
military law and practice, surveying and
map making, map reading and navigation
and modern ordnance. Modern ordnance
is the only one of these courses which will
discontinued at once here. Surveying
will be given for those men who wish to
continue the course.
Programs May Be Left Open.
“The time freed from these subjects
must be devoted such academic work
as each institution may prescribe,” read
the telegram. “It is probable that no
program of academic work will be pre
scribed after the end of the current term
but that the college will be free to lay
out their own programs except that nine
hours per week will be reserved for 3
course in war issues or some modifica
tion of that course.
“Military instruction will continue as
at present prescribed, being strictly con
fined to eleven hours. All military details
conflicting with academic exercises will
he eliminated. Tbpse changes in the cur
riculum do not affect the existing finan
cial arrangements between the war de
partment and the institution.”
Eleven Hours For Drill.
By this new arrangement, men may
have a free election of all T'Diversity
subjects, provided that they comply with
the usual college requirements, regard
ing necessary subjects for the major
subjects, language and science require
ments. With this plan, the regular aca
demic courses may be followed, provided
the eleven hours is given to drill.
It is expected at Si1. A. T. C. head
quarters here that other changes in the
curriculum and life of the S. A. T. G.
men will be made soon.
ROOMS RESERVED FOR WOMEN

and room 4 in the basement of the li
brary are still reserved for the use of

S. H. I. C. INSPECTOR
Major Patten Believes Corps
Will Soon Resume Normal
Academic Work.
Major W. T. Patten, military director
of the twelfth district of the S- A. T.
C.. inspected the Students’ Army Train
ing Corps unit at the University yester
day afternoon. He visited the barracks
and drill field and said that he was well
pleased with conditions as he found
them here, especially the health situa
tion
“The units everywhere have been slow
in organizing,” said Major Patten last
night. “They have been handicapped by
lack of equipment, for they had to take
what was left after outfitting the troops
who went across—which was right.”
To Resume Normal Standards.
Major Tatten said that he felt sure
that the corps would »oon return to the
normal academic standards and be back
on the educational standard. “The cours
es will no longer be Intensive,” he said,
“foT the men will get military training
in four years, which they now received
in three, six or nine month*.”
A return will lie made either to the old
It. O. T. O. form of organization, the
major thinks, or a modified form of the
present. S. A. T. C. will be in effect un
der the new and changed conditions. In
the It. O. T. C. organization, men are
enlisted in the army as they are under
the S. A. T. ('. plan.
“The change which will necessarily he
made will depend on what the people
want,” said Major Patten. “It is certain
that they will wish 'their young men to
take some sort of military training.”
Several Institutions Visited.
Major Patten is making a tour of the
universities in his district, having S. A.
T. C. units. lie came to Eugene from
Portland, after having visited the Uni
versity of Idaho, University of Wash
ington. College of Puget Sound and
Washington State College. He left this
morning for Corvallis and will go soon
to Willamette University at Salem. 11 in
headquarters are at Helena, Montana.
