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

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.

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,

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

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. Jenkins ex-TO, Signm Chi
who was a second lieutenant of company
A in the University battalion last year
and who is now a second lieutenant in the
machine gun battalion at Camp Travis,
San Antonio, Texas, in a letter to Karl
Onthauk tells of the training received by
the men at Camp Hancock. 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.”

Where Is Blackie?
Friendly Dog Gone;
Did Aggies Get Him?
“Blackie" is no more. "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.

been very meager. The California scribes

of the California team.
California Team Strengthened.

said that two members of the Cnlifornh

now back in uniform and would be seen
in action against the Mossbaeks (which

of the last year's California team and
