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. S. Seed, of Portland.

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

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 ” —

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

Eva Ilanson, a junior in the University,

subscription pledge.
The campaign will be carried on by

sponsible for the appointing of commit
tees for their own classes.
In the same way, the faculty and spe

Effort to Be Made to Imbue
Freshmen With Idea of
College Values.
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.

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

On urging a system which should take

"A combination of the two, an educa

true friends of democracy,” Dr. Boyd de
<laved.
'I’he students and faculty of the Uni

food pledge requested by the national
food administration, vowing to continue
voluntary saving of foodstuff- in order

President Campbell.
The president called attention to the
