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

will be the last to be discharged.

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

An army surgeon, assigned to the unit
here, by the war department for exam

Men of the corps will receive their
pay up to the time of their discharge.
They will not. however, be paid for the

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

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.

Presbyterian church of Portland will ad
dress the student body nt assembly Wed
nesday in Villavd hall at 10 o’clock.
Dr. Boyd is a powerful speaker, says

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,

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.
At a special meeting held Monday af

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

Oregon on Road to
an All-Jacobberger
Team; No. 3 Coming
Bert Jaeobberger is coming to Oregon
What! Another one?
Quite so. 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.

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

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.
