% VOL. 20. EUGENE, OREGON. THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 21, 1018. WO. 81a President Campbell Brings Word to Assembly From Head of Corps. CAMPUS LIFE TO TAKE “ OM NORMAL APPEARANCE Academic Work to Replace All Military Courses Except Drill. That the S. A. T. C. will be continued at the University of Oregon until June from the present plan of General Rees, officer in command of the S. A. T. C., was the message of President Campbell to the students a,t the assembly Wed nesday morning, which was the first to be held since the influenza 'ban went into effect. The men in training will go on with their work and be paid by the govern ment in the same way, the president said. However, there will be this difference: Courses of military technique for which there will be no particular need now will be dropped and work along the lines that the men are preparing for will be taken ip again. President Campbell returned Tuesday from a meeting of the National Associa tion of Presidents of the State Univer sities held in Chicago. At that time Gen eral Rees, said that he could make no absolute announcements in regard to the Future of this organization, a great deal depending on the proclamation of the president concerning the demobilization of the army. This much he could say, the war department will keep all its con tracts with the schools and the S. A. T. D. will very likely continue until Jnue. Normal Work to Bo Resumed The second term, :o begin in January, tvill thus find a great deal of the normal tvork resumed, is the belief of President Campbell. The work will be back almost an the old basis with the exception of Jrill and discipline. The men will be al lowed to make their own selection of jtudies as far as possible. President Campbell spoke of the op portunity of the men now here to go on jrith their work with their expenses paid. He emphasized that the new motive now nust be for academic work as a prepara tion for the competition of the period following the war, that of great national levelopment. Great National Development Coming. “In order to enter into the competition Df the new- era opening up, and the per iod of national develpmcnt. coming, we must do our part here whole-heartedly, patriotically, and enthusiastically,” said President Campbell. “A period of great national develop nent is at hand. We are to see soon an ?ra of fcvelopment such as the country las never known before. Energy will be ironsed and released to accomplish splen lid things. This work of development will jrobably go on for ten years. “We are entering upon a period of re ldjustment that will call for wisdom, self ;ortrol, and the finest sort of prepara tion.” President Campbell spoke further of .he statements of the members of the Mission of British Educators which is low in this country as to the standing >f the American colleges and their ,‘ourses. They declared that the science courses were ahead of theirs and that ■>nr schools of law and medicine were he best in the world. This mission will irobably visit the west while on their Tip. Sinning Led By Y. M. C. A. Director. His talk was concluded with a plea to ‘put over the year and make it the best he University has ever known. Howard E. Fratt, T. M. C. A. musical lirector for the western division, was a nsitor at the assembly and led the stu lents in a group of songs ranging all lie way from “America” to “Wednesday, ou-nop.” He aroused much enthusiasm n th<* singing. William E. Vance, secretary of the talupus Y. M. C. A., gave a scriptural S. A. T. C. Clothing | Begin to Arrive; Laces Hearten Men At Inst. Some of the equipment is here. After many months of weary waiting, the S. A. T. C. has been rewarded. It seem ed as though all hope was gone, but it was not so. The quartermasters’ depart ment, in its infinite wisdom, lias sent on The shoe laees, and the puttee laces, and they have arrived. About the middle of last week, the story that they had come, started as a fake "war rumor” down at the Delta Tan house. And a few days after the story had been started, the laces actually did arrive. Then the true story started around the campus, but no one believed it. It is doubtful if there are ten people in the University who really believe that the laces are here, but they are. A cylindrical package about four feet long, and a few inches in diameter, con tain the laces for the whole S. A. T. C. How this lone package ever got separat ed from its brothers and sisters, and wandered into Eugene, no one can tell. But its arrival has cheered up the au thorities. At lease part of the uniforms are here now and there is a chance that the rest may some, time arrive. PROF, i First of Series of Concerts Of fered by School of Music at Eugene Theatre. An attempt is being made by the school of music to give a series of Sunday af ternoon recitals at the Eugene theatre. The first recital of this series is to be given by Prof. Robert L.

Allegro Energioo. (a) Chant Negre_A. "Walter Kramer (b) Humoresque.Felix Borowski (c) Melody .Charles G. Dawes (d) Polish Dance.Earl R. Drake Miss Aurora Potter is to accompany ; .Mr. iJarron. I It is hoped that the students will give this movement their ardent support as concerts and joint concerts by Mr. Ar thur Faguy-Cote. Mr. Robert L. Barron and Miss Eleanor Lee for the entertain ment of the college students are being planned. - A University string quartet has been organized, and is composed of Mr. Robert L. Barron, first violin: Alberta Potter, second violin; Mary DeBar-Taylor, viola, and Mr. Harry Devereaux, cello, and they are planning to give a public entertain ment soon. Another organization which,has come into existence lately is the University Trio, which is Mr. Barron, violinist; Mr. Devereaux, eelloist. and Miss Aurora Potter, pianist, and they will appear soon in one of the Sunday afternoon enter tainments. The experiment of the Sunday after noon programs is being made in oTder to bring the school of music into closer touch with the college students, and to make it a more important department o* the University to all the students. DEBATE COUNCIL TO MEET Non-Supporting Activities to Get No Financial Aid. _ Since the student body will he unable to finance any activities which are not i self-supporting this year, a new arrange ment for debate work is necessitated, according to It. \V. Prescott, professor j of public speaking. The debate council will call a meeting at an early date, the purpose of which will be to determine its failure policy. In all probability the usual intercollegiate debate with O. A. <\ scheduled for the first term will be postponed, inasmuch as it is doubtful whether or not even any interstate de bates can be held with the University of 'Vp-hington and British Columbia Advanced Courses to Be Given; Als<r~Specia! Work in Business Law. The lnw school will resume its regular work at the beginning of the second term, in January. Dean E. W. Hope announced yesterday. The first term was given over to military law for members of the S. A. T. C. The regular courses in the law of con tracts, sales or bills and notes totaling from fourteen to fifteen credit hours in lnw will be begun in the school at the opening of the second term. For the bal ance of this school year these courses may he taken by freshmen, or those hold ing a high school certificate of gradua tion—those entering as “partial” stu dents. Other advanced courses may be given, such as evidence and the conflict of laws, if there is sufficient demand for them. The second and third terms of the first year's law work will be fully cared for. A special course on the elements of business law has just been begun for the S. A. T. C. It is to Sake the place of the course in military law which has been dropped in accordance with governmental permission. This course will probably be continued on through the second and third terms, and is now and will be then open to all University students. The course is not necessarily confined to members of the S._ A. T. C. The law school is open .to men and wo men alike and all students who desire to begin or resume their law studies should get into immediate communication with Dean Hope, whose office is in the law li brary on the second floor of the educa tion building. Dean Hope’s office hours are from 10 to 12 mornings and 4:30 to 5:30 afternoons. JENKINS TELLS OF CAMP British Teachers at Hancock Praised by Oregon Man. Oran A.

Extracts from his letter follow : “\\’e received a great deal of train ing under the. British mission at Camp Hancock. We found them excellent teachers and very smart soldiers but none of them had the wonderful personality and leadership of Colonel Leader. “I think all of the Oregon students who transferred to the machine gun school received their commissions. 1 feel safe in saying they owe this good record to the splendid training they re ceived at the University under Coloned Leader.” Mr. Jenkins had received his order of assignment to the fourth O. T. C. and would have been a member of that body had it been held. lie has just received his appointment at Camp Travis and writes of it: “I am very much pleased with my new assignment to the 52nd Machine Cun Battalion of the 18th division. The 52nd is a motorized outfit attacked to the division and is any machine gunner's first choice.” VACATION PARTY PLANNED Annual Thanksgiving Affair to Do Given for Girls.

"Blackie” wu n little black dog of indescribablo pro portions and undeterminable ancestry, who wiggled his way into favor at all the barracks. Many disputes were held as to just what family of dogs “Itlnckio” belonged to. One of his chief admirers contended that he was the best living example of the Russian Sniff Hounds, hut another one, after “Blnckic” had spent a peace ful hour on his bed, stoutly maintained I that the dog was the original Mexican ' Flea hound. “lilaekie’s” ever cheerful and happy disposition made him a great favorite at the different barracks. lie was always ready for a frolic, and always jolly, no matter how adverse the circumstances. Bast. Saturday “Blackie” made his final bow to Eugene. When the men marched to the special train for Corvallis, '‘Black ie" joyfully followed them, and embark ed with the rooters. On the trip over, he frisked about the train, decorated with the Oregon colors, and having the time of his life. It was his love of a good time that led to his downfall. At the game, he was be trayed by the friendly advances of some of the “Aggie" men, and was whisked away by them. What has become of him, no one knows. Some one heard a report tthat the O. A. C. contingent was going to paint him Orange and Black and turn him loose. But what his final disposition has been, it is impossible to say. One thing alone is certain: “Blackie" is mere | than homesick for Eugene. Howard E. Pratt, Y. M. C. A. Music Director, Will Lead at Villard Hall.
