Living in fraternity houses will be resumed, and all the old Oregon tra ditions re-established Until December 21, however, military discipline for the men of the S. A. T. C. Will continue as usual. Much of the time of the men will be taken up with the aiakiug out of the discharge papers, which is a complicated process, accord ing to Colonel Bowen, commanding of ficer, who says it is harder to get a man out oE the service than to enroll him. They will start making out the papers tomorrow morning. May 3e Released. Members of the navai unit who desire to be placed on inactive duty status may be released by naval district command- , ers, Colonel Bowen announced this morn ing, on receipt of telegraphic instruc tion from S. A. T. C. headquarters at Helena, Montana. The men who desire release will probably he granted it by December 21, Colonel Bowen said, al though he has as yet received no defi aite word. “Instructions will he issued later as to the disposition to be made of men de siring to remain cm active duty, read the telegram. The men may remain here to do regular college work or they may be scut to Bremerton or other plans may be made for them, Colonel Bowen said. Discharged By Christmas. The men of the regular S. A. T. C will bo discharged as nearly as possible on the same date, Colonel Bowen said this morning, probably about December 20, just before the Christmas holidays which begin the following day. A few men will be discharged at once, begin ning tomorrow- These will bo largely older men who apply for immediate dis charge because they wish to return to business life- They are principally men with families, who entered the S. A. T. C. for the military training only and do not wish further academic work- Men who desire to return to the University next term to take regular college work will be the last to be discharged. To Return Tomorrow Lieutenant It. Zimmerman, assis tant personnel officer, is expected to re turn from Helena, Montana, tomorrow with full instructions for the details of the discharge of the men. Lieutenant Zimmerman has been attending the school on discharge paper work. An army surgeon, assigned to the unit here, by the war department for exam ining men to bo. discharged, will report Wednesday for duty, lie will work in co-operation with the army contract yirgeons. Men of the corps will receive their pay up to the time of their discharge. They will not. however, be paid for the period from October 1 to 14, the date of their formal induction. Colonel Bowen said this morning on receipt of orders from Major Batten, Helena, Montana. Colonel Bowen had asked that the men, who were enrolled in the corps October 1, but who had not been formally in ducted, be paid for this period, hut the request could not he granted Barracks Revert to School. The barracks which have housed 200 men of Company A. will revert to the University. No definite plans have as yet been made, for the use of the build ing, although it may be moved onto the campus and used for offices. All the men will he issued their uni 'orms. which they will be allowed to re tain for f >ur months after discharge. At j lie end of this time, they must be turned j »*er to the depot quartermaster at Fort I Uns<sn, San Franc’seo. J S. A. T. C. Uniforms Attract Portland; Privates' Salutes Uniformed mra of the S. A. T. C. be cause of the serge uniforms worn by many of them and the similarity of the officers’ hat cords to theirs, drew many salutes while in Portland for Thanksgiv ing vacation. Their likeness to officers was noticed on the campus from the first but Thanksgiving gave the first oppor tunity for verification on any large scale —and Christmas perhaps will give the last because of the musteriug out of S. A. T. C. men. Syd Robinson, private of Portland, walked down Washington street Thanks giving Day wearing 8. A. T. C. bat cord, overcoat, serge uniform, wrapped put tees. Three soldiers saluted. Robinson turned to a private from Vancouver Bar racks, who was standing on a corner, to ask: “Say, do I look like an officer?” The Spruce Production unit who had not. saluted did so hurriedly. “Pardon me, sir! I didn’t see your hat cord. I am very sorry. It won’t happen again I am sure, sir!” Morton Wires for Hopkins and Jeremiah; Place for Har old Young. An effort is being made by the school of commerce to hasten the return of men of the faculty in service, according to D. Walter Morton, dean of the school. The announcing of courses to be given next term will depend largely on how many and how soon these men can get back. The school has hopes of the immediate return of First Lieutenant Allen C. Hop kins, instructor in commerce 1916-17, and Second Lieutenant C. C. Jeremiah, who had charge of the ordnance courses last year. Sergeant F. Harold Young, who has been accepted by the board of regents as an instructor in the school of com merce, is also much wanted by Dean Morton. Sergeant Young is a graduate of the school of commerce, class of 1916. He is a son of Prof. F. G. Young, dean of the graduate school. Lieutenant Hopkins is with the 91st division in France. Dean Morton has wired the Secretary of War, trying to get in touch witli him. Lieutenant Jere miah is at a government arsenal at Puri tan, New Jersey. He has been wired by the school. Sergeant F. Harold Young is in Tours, France, with the ordnance de partment. Immediate action is being tak en to get in touch with these men. so that all possible speed will be used in getting the instructors back, said Dean Morton. TURNER NEIL.’18, IS DEAD Pneumonia Causes Death of Former Oregon Student in France. Word was received on the campus yes terday of tlip death in France of Turner Neil, ex-member of the class of 1918 at the University. Death was due to pneu monia. Neil went across with the ambu lance unit from t'nrnp Lewis the first of the year. He was in college two years, having entered in 191-1 and was promi nent in student body activities. He was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. lie is survived by his mother. Mrs. George Roberts Neil, of Portland, and by his sister. Marian Neil Giger, a graduate of the University in the class of 1918. DELIVERY PLAN COMPLETE Emerald's Usual Distribution to Towns people Will Continue. Emerald subscribers not connected with the University will receive their papers by delivery three times a week as usual. The change to a central distri bution on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which was announced last week, will af fect only students arid faculty members living in town and the men in the bar racks. The number of persons included in this class of townspeople is comparatively small, thus making it possible to main tain an effi<lent route. Practically all of the “kicks” have feme from students liv ing in town, and the new system was adopted in order to give them better sat ic, faction. WILL DETERMINE FATE OF 01 Year Book Will Be Published if Made Self-Supporting; Campaign Soon. The students uiay have an Oregann if they can make the publication a self supporting proposition by getting enough subscriptions to make it so- Such tvas the decision reached at the meeting of the executive council last Wednesday. That the Oregaua could not be published with out as much loss to the student body, as was incurred last year was the con clusion reached some time ago. At that time it was decided not. to have the Ore gana this year. Upon the signing of the armistice, the students especially want ed to get back to normal times and could | hardly give up the idea of not having the year book. Faculty Pledgo to Subscribe Pros and cons were discussed and it was decided to have an Oregaua if it can be made a self supporting publica tion. Every student will have to sub scribe, the faculty have already pledged a 200 per cent subscription and the alumni are always to he counted on, so at the present time the Oregaua prop osition is up to tin' students alone. The students will have an opportu nity to show their loyalty probably some time before the Christmas holi days. Some form of a campaign, much like the late Emerald campaign, will he put on and every student will be given a chance to subscribe. One suggestion made was that the campaign be staged by classes, each class trying for the, high honor of getting 100 or 200 per cent subscribed. Plans and details will be worked out for the campaign at the exe cutive council meeting Wednesday. | The number of subscriptions needed before the Oregana can be announced i s a sure thing is not quite definite at the present time, but will probably bo near S00. New Editor Will Bo Elected. The editor, Elise Fitzinaurice, <v’:tcd last year, did not return to school (his fall and the business manager elected, Curtiss Peterson, has been a lieutenant in the S. A. T. C. at the University of Washington, but expects to return by the first of next term or possibly the i last of this, so a new manager will not ^ need to be elected. There are several possible editors flying around the earn- , pus, and should (he campaign for sub- j scriptions be successful, the new editor j will be elected by the student council before the end of this term. Rut the Ore®.mi can not be a sure thing until the students have pledged their subscriptions and until there are enough subscriptions to make the year j book a self supporting publication. GIRL BASKETEERS ACTIVE One Extra Practice to Be Held Early , Tuesday at 5 O’clock. One extra practice a week for girls’ ! basketball began yesterday sit 5 o’clock and will be continued every week for all classes at that hour. This makes a total of three practices a week, the other two coming on Tuesday and Thurs day afternoons. Basketball practices are exciting much interest among the women on the cam pus, according to Grace Itngg, head of basketball. An average of about 111 girls for each class appear each practice night. Plans for interclass games have not yet been made, but it is hoped that teams may be worked up immediately after Thanksgiving and the games played off before the end of the first term. THREE BACK FROM CAMP Hollis Johnston, Stephen Mathieu and Louis Dunsmuir Discharged. Three University of Oregon men re turned to the campus yesterday from Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ken tucky. They have been transferred to the S. A. T. C. unit here, and they say that nearly all of the 40 men who went with them to the officers’ training camp last month have asked for discharges and expect to return to the University for regular college work in January. The men who were transferred ire Hol lis K. Johnson, Stephen W. Matthieu •and fiicis S. OnnsiEore. all at Portland Powerful Portland Pastor, Au thority on Germany, to Be Here. Dr. John II. Boyd, pastor of the first Presbyterian church of Portland will ad dress the student body nt assembly Wed nesday in Villavd hall at 10 o’clock.

During the war he has been serving the government in speaking for Liberty Loan drives and Bed Cross work, lie has also done a great deal of work in the army camps of the west. Dr. Boyd is an authority on the Ger man situation having studied abroad for a number of years. His insight into the German mind as shown in the speech de livered at the armory in Eugene last year and in the many coast cities is very keen, lie will undoubtedly bring out these points in Ins address Wednesday as well as some of his opinions concerning the plans for reconstruction and other pres ent day problems. The definite title of his address is not yet known. Dr. Boyd has been pastor of the hirst Presbyterian church in Portland since It'll and previous to that time held the pastorate in the first church of Detroit, first church of Evanston, 111., the second church of Charlotte, North Carolina, the Laurendale church of Memphis, Teutt.

Two-Semester Plan, Military Drill, Requirements for Honors Are Subjects. Moans of making it as easy and sim ple as possible for men in the service to return to college and get back into the routine routine of University work will be a subject of discussion at the faculty meeting to be held at I o’clock Wednesday afternoon in Guild hall.

"Walter Mor ton, and Professor H. C. Howe. The committee met immediately at the close of the special faculty meeting and out lined tentative plans which will he sub mitted tomorrow. Among the other matters suggested for the consideration of tiie committee were the advisability of going back to the two-semester schedule, abandoning the three-term plan which was adopted to apply through the year in which the war should terminate; the elimination of the eleven-hour minimum for remain ing in college; the suspension for the present term of the S-grade requirement for Honor students, and the faculty policy toward military education, now that the war is over. Should the two-semester system he readopted, it will not go into effect until the opening of the 1010-1020 term, It was announced. JOHN S.

Another Jaeobberger will bt here next year. His name is Bert, they call him Babe, and he is a football play er. Young Jaeobberger, or Jake ><To. .'5 as he will have to be railed, is playing for Columbia Vuiversity in Portland, where his brothers carved their names in the gridirou hall of fame. In a game between the the Columbia University and James John high school in Portland last Friday young Jaeobberg er put up a fine exhibition. IJe is about the size of Vincent, about the same weight, if any, a little taller. In the game last week Bert bucked the line in grand style. He gets his head down about even with his shoe laces and then starts on his way. And he usually gets there. He hit the James John line hard and often and did some kicking that would make big brother Francis take notice. If there are any more Jaeobberger* lying around they might come around next year, and they can have a family re union on the squad. According to Port land sport writers Bert Jaeobberger is one of the host bets in the interscholastic league. Dean Lawrence Pays Tribute to Gifted Sculptor’s Memory.

The funeral was held Friday in the chapel of the Portland Crematorium. Pupil of Bourdelle. Mr. I)oseh was horn in Portland, Jan uary l(i, 1880. He spent almost the whole of his life in that vicinity with the ex ception of the time lie spent studying art in France, Italy and (Sermnny. He was at one time a pupil of Bourdelle in Paris. lie is survived by his parents, Colonel and Mrs. 11. E. Doseh of Hillsdale, Ore gon, two sisters, Camille Doseh and Mrs. Margaret Josslyn; two brothers, Earnest 10.

McClain. “Mr. Doseh was recognized as without n peer among the sculptors of the north west,” states Dean Lawrence. “He had that indispensable of both artist and teacher, a fine enthusiasm. Through his recognized ability and the keen interest he took in his work he was able to in spire nil those who were fortunate enough to eoine in contact with him. We of the school of architecture, and the University as a whole, are going to miss Roswell Doseh very much indeed.” Conceived Oregon Memorial. His last sculptural conception was a monument to the Oregon men who offer ed themselves to their country's service in the Avar. During the summer he made a east of the work hut through an acci dent, it Avas broken. The monument was to have been placed on the campus ns a tribute to Oregon men in the service.

E. D. VOSPER IN SOUTH CAROLINA Second Lieutenant Ernest D. Vosper, who was reported on his way to France, i-: still in ( amp .Jackson, South Carolina, according to Avord received by Mrs. Vos per. He says that there are about 250 other officers waiting at the camp. They do nut know whether they will be sent aero** Team in Good Shape for Effort to Retrieve Defeat of Early Season. WASHINGTON VANQUISHED IN HARD FIGHT, 7 TO 0 Lemon-Yellow Warriors Look Circus-like in Misfit Uniforms. AAith tho end of the football season in sight. Oregon is entering npon its last week of practice, unless additional games are scheduled by Graduate Manager "Shy” Huntington. On Saturday the team! is slated to meet in Portland the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club, olnimant of the Northwest title, although the con tract has not been signed by the two teams. Oregon looks like a probable winner in this clash with the club eleven, as the Portland men did not look like world heaters in the game with O. A. C. on Thanksgiving day. In the Turkey day contest the Aggies held the heavy Mult nomah team to a (> to 0 score, which was better than close followers of the game had expected. The way the Multnomah men were laid out in the game with Cor vallis shows that they are not. in the best of condition. They arc, however, a good loam and have a number of former col lege and Portland interscholastic league stars on their roster. Layton With Multnomah Among the well-known football stars who are playing for the club this season are: .Inca Layton, guard, former Montana ami Oregon man. Layton was unable to. get into the S. A. T. C., and after thi^ close of the O. T. O. here went to work in Portland and is playing on the Multno mah team during his spare moments. An other is AVebster, former O. A. C. star, who is holding down one of the ends. There are a host of other men on the team who have seen service on various elevens in t.he northwest. The Oregon team is in good condition to take on the Multnomah club eleven. The men came through the game in Se at'le in fin ■ condition and should, on a dry field, gi\e the Multnomah team a great game The Oregon backfield is about the class of the Northwest. Other teams have one or two good men, but there are few who can eiiijal the two .Tncohliergers, BTako and Brnwlenborg. I£ the Multnomah game is played on a dry field, Blake should get more of a chancy to rti.i with the ball. lie is a good man handling a dry ball, and his weight should help him against the Multnomah line. Exactly the sain-* lineup has represent ed the Lemon Yel.ow curing the last three games. Not only does this speak well for i ho men on tho team but for “Bill” TInyward, trainer, and the condi tion that he has kept the men in. Tho team is eager to meet tho Multnomah club eleven, and it is expected thnt "Shy” and Manager George Bertz, of Multno mah, will get together over the wire and stage the game. EXAM.
