VOL. 20. EUGENE. OREGON, THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 5, 1918. NO. 25. COLLEGE CREDITS GIH FOR WORK III ARMY GAMPS FVlen Who Win Commission or Almost Do So to Get One Term. OTHER CHANGES MADE IN FACULTY POLICIES Grades for Present Quarter to Be Based on Quality, Not Quantity. Men In the service who have attained a commission or have done two-thirds of the work required at the training camp for the attainment of a commission will receive credit for one term of work in the University. This decision was reach ed at the faculty meeting held in Guild hall Wednesday afternoon. It was decided also to credit the non commissioned officers in the S. A. T. C. with college hours for, the military rout ine work done under orders of their su periors, which have prevented their giv ing proper attention to their academic work. The credit, however, will n 't be given in the subject which has been ne glected, but will be assigned to military work. I; was decided that grades for this term should be granted on the quality of the student’s work rather than the quantity. The faculty members also, concluded that no conditional grades would he giv en this term. It is considered best to give students whose work was unsatis factory either incompletes or failures. Dr. John P. Bovard, chairman of the student health committee, announced at faculty meeting that the daily health reports from all houses and students liv ing outside of the University jurisdiction would be continued as formerly, in or der that there may be no reoccurrence of the Influenza. It had been understood by some members of the University that these reports had been discontinued when the ban was lifted sometime ago. JOURNAL CARTOONIST DIES influenza Claims J. G. Seed, Wall Known Artist of Portland Emerald readers will remember the oc casion on which the paper blossomed forth with a three-column cartoon on the first page, good-naturedly caricatur ing Colonel Leader and officers and men of the Second Officers’ Training Camp. That cartoon, as noted at the time, October 19. was the work of ,T. G. (Jack) Seed, the smiiing head of the art depart ment of the Oregou Journal, and to thos« who were moved to laughter by its merry humor it will come as a shock to knov) that the hand which sketched it has been stilled by death. Mr. Seed died in Port land lasr Sunday, December 1, a victim of pneumonia, following an attack of Spanish influenza, lie had been employed on the Journal for 20 years. lie was .'55 years old and leaves a widow, who also is suffering from pneumonia, and his fa ther, J.

Men at Camp Taylor Find Army Routine Is “Great Life, if— | Men returning to the University from Camp Zachary Taylor are telling of se vere discipline compared to which the S. A. T. C. is nothing, they say. Witness the fact that they are back at the University which they describe as a comparative paradise. They’re waiting now for the discharge of the S. A. T. C. and for the opportunity of entering the pearly gates with the new quarter when the campus life will be back on the old basis. The first night in camp, according to the nnu who are back on the campus, a lot of clothes were thrown at them whether they fit or not. Some who were soldiers after the Napoleonic type of build received number ten shoes. Two received one size fourteen and one size 18 shirts each, and didn’t know which one to trade off. This was at 9 o’clock. The following morning the lieutenant in charge of drill told them they were the worst looking bunch of rooks ho had ever seen—didn’t look like nent soldiers at all. The night before straw ticks were is sued and the men were required to fill them with straw. At least one mal slept on the floor. The men were required to get up shortly after 5 o’clock. At the end of the week, Sunday morning, it was an nounced that as a special favor work would not begiu until Olio. No one ap plauded or slapped anybody on the back. One night the water was shut off be tween 9 and 0:30 o’clock, the only time for shaving or loafing during the day at Camp Taylor. In the morning the drill master took " nearly everybody’s name for Kitchen Police, Hosoital Or derly. Room Orderly and some other de ails. Shoes similar to those issued here were given out aud if the lieutenants could not see their faces in them it is said to be probable that they would faint. At Camp Taylor the life is universally declared to have been hard. Just one in cident of '‘easy going” has been reported. This particular private managed to have a razor issued to him, according to lien Breed, one of the men just returned. A lieutenant approached one man with a growth on his face. "Ha ,ha, ha! No shave,” he said some what gleefully. “Ha, ha, ha! No razor!” responded the t private. MISS FITS! TELLS lif F. WJ MCE Saw Dean Fox at Tours; One Hundred-Fifty Women Attend Meeting. Miss Louise Fitch, who has recent!y returned from France where she spent six months investigating the condition of the women workers of that country for the Y. AV ('. A., spoke yesterday after noon to one hundred fifty University wo men at the Y. W. Bungalow. Miss Fitch appeared wearing the over seas uniform of the Y. W. O. A. and told of the work of the Christian Asso ciation in canteens, Hostess houses, wo men’s hotels, etc. She described the difficulties encoun tered in housing munition factory work ers, refugees and other destitute women on the other side. ‘The buildings available for the use of the association,” said Miss Fitch, bore shady reputations in the past and were as a rule dirty and unattractive until they were celaned up and put to good use.” Miss Fitch saw Miss Fox. Oregon’s dean of women on leave for overseas war work, and told of the difficult task she was accomplishing in taking charge of a large hostel for women in Tours, where it was necessary to not only plan the recreation of large numbers of home less French women workers but to man age the household and plan the meals a* well. “One of the most interesting places in all Franee,” said Miss Fitch, “is the Hotel Fetrograd in Paris, operated by the Y. W. C. A. as the headquarters of all American women in France. There one meets most interesting women en gaged in all sorts of war work and who have wonderful experiences to tell if you can drag it ou* of fhom ” — on WILL IT PUT FINAL GAME WITH MULTNOMAH Dispute Over Date Results in Cancellation; Clubmen Claim Title. The curtain has been drawn upon tin1 1918 football season of the University. The last of the formalities was under taken yesterday when the team posed for pictures for the Oregana. The game with Multnomah club, which was discussed, so freely in the Portland papers, will not be played. If the Multnomah game had been play ed this week and it would have settled the Northwest champwVnship without a doubt. As it is, Oregon has a better claim than has the Club team. Oregon beat the Aggies 1-1 to ti and proved to be eas ily the best bet of the two. O. A. C. held Multnomah to a 00 to 0 score in Port land on Thanksgiving and played the heavy (Hub team to a standstill. The 1 Aggies also held Washington to a 6 to 0 score in a game similar to the Mult nomah contest. This would make Mult nomah and Washington about even and those who have seen both teams in ac tion declare this to be the case. Oregon beat Washington 7 to 0 and darkness saved Washington from having a larger score rolled up against her. EVA hTnSEI\f wTlvS PLACE Reconstruction Appointment Sends Jun ior to Boston. Eva Ilanson, a junior in the University, yesterday received a telegram from her brother in Marshfield notifying her that the letter with her appointment for re construction work for which she has been waiting for some time, had arrived.

She has not as yet received any more defi nite instructions and does not know whether she will be sent abroad or not. Miss Hansen is one of the best known junior women on the campus. She is sec retary of Women's League, secretary of the Women’s athletic association and holds the same office in the Hendricks hall organization. She is a major in the physical education department and re ceived her training for the reconstruction work at Iteed college this summer. “I am very sorry to leave the Univer sity,” said Miss Hansen, “but I am look ing forward to m.v work with a great deal of interest.” Miss Hansen expects to return to the University to complete her educati on.

To the end that all men ncnv in the University in the S. A. T. C. for their first taste of University life should he told something of what Oregon is and of what Oregon offers in normal times, a meeting of seniors, juniors and sopho mores—all men who had seen the Uni versity under conditions similar to that upon which the campus will he with the new quarter—were called to a meeting in the office of Dean John Straub last night,. President Campbell emphasized the particular need of a good sound training at this time in order to meet the com petition of the broadened men who are are now returning from France. lie pointed to instances of men in the Uni versity in the past who, had they drop ped their work, would have been able to fill but a small plr.ee in life while by continuing their work their field was broadened and the entire course of life changed by the fact that they were col lege men. Lieutenant “Iiert” Lombard, former vice-president of the student body who has just returned to Eugene, made the point that if the government thought it worth while to pay the way of privates through college it was worth a thought on the part, of the individual as to whether it was not worth Ids time to get that training to equip himself for life. HAMSTREET LIKES EDITING Former Emerald Writor Eaijer to Re turn to Newspaper Work. In a letter to Dean Erie Allen, head of the school of journalism, Harold Ifam street, editor of the Emerald 101(5-17, says that there is no question in his mind as to what he will do when he is released from service. He says: “I know but one game. This life has but taught me more of human nature. It did not extinguish the newspaper fire. And I’ll never he satisfied until I’ve found my level in the game, even though we are held in the service a year or more.” A part of his letter follows: “T envy the hoys who got aeross into action. It was because of the Marines’ reputation and a desire to get aeross that. I put my bet on that branch, fine of the old gang in the Marines was lucky enough to get across in time—that I know of—while three more sailed too late, and the rest of us are here ‘quarantined’ in the hack .woods of Virginia, awaiting police eall. "School has gone 14 weeks with ns to date and Is to continue four more. Tn other words we feel they are running our coat-tails ragged; that is marking time while headquarters decides what is to b > done with the Marine Corps. “Carl fietv is here; a buck private in the Tenth Separate battalion. Have not met him yet. Too busy. The Oregon stu dents here are doing well; all except Babbitt who transferred into a Machine (inn outfit as pay sergeant and shoved across a month ago.” Hamstrcet is with the Marines at Quaw tico, Virginia.

DEMOCM CALLS FOB INTELLIGEIVCE, DECLARES DR. 01 Danger in New-Found Freedom Outlined by Assembly Speaker. NEW SYSTEM MUST TAKE INDIVIDUAL INTO ACCOUNT Evils of Great Wealth and Great Poverty Must Be Charged. Education us a necessary snfeguar%-^ democracy was stressed by Dr. John It Iioyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian (hurch of Portland, in an address before the University assembly, Wednesday morning. After pointing out. the great Oppor (unity now before democracy as a result of the downrall of the last stronghold of intrenched autocracy in the world, Dr. Boyd adverted ro tne danger in demo erney itself unless based on a high aver age of individual intelligence. "With the overthrow of the power of the absolute individual as represented by Emperor Wilhelm of Germany, and all that, such a power represented of menneo to man, a new era begins,” said Dr. Boyd. \\ till the downfall of nutoeracy an other form of government begins in the history of the old world. Democracy! But danger lurks also in democracy. An unin telligent, ignorant, ill-handled democracy will destroy, rather than help. I believe that every man and woman connected with the University should face the situ ation of conditions brought about in Ger many by a misconception of what con* stitutes cultural education. Opportunity for Every Man. On urging a system which should take the individual into account, giving every man, woman and child the,opportunity to 1,1,1 k" qf hims.-if that which God intended he should bo, Dr. Boyd advocated not only a cultured education but a vocation al one ns well. "A combination of the two, an educa ‘i°n flir life, an education that will take 1 'hrist into account, is the sort of edu cation which should be the aim of all true friends of democracy,” Dr. Boyd de r. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department and a member of the committee. These designs call for different treats ment of the problem, but all are intend ed to lie placed in connection with the park system to be worked out for Skin ner’s butte. Dean E. F. Jjawrence of the school took the class down to contem plate sights for the monument, this morning.
