Full Quota of 800 !s Held Pos sible; Classes to Help in Campaign, Things are beginning to look brighter for the Oregana campaign committee, ■which held a meeting yesterday after noon at. 3 o’clock in Dean Straub’s room. Jack Dundore, chairman, thinks there is every possibility of getting (he full quota of 800 pledges, for he says that every one is asking when the campaign is to begin and when asked if they are going to subscribe, say they certainly are. When the executive committee decided a the first of the year that there would be no Oregana the students themselves hardly realized what this meant. But as soon as peace was in sight, the committee planned that activities would again be organized, and that the Oregana was al most necessary. How to finance it was tile next question, and that is why it is going to lie put up to the students them selves. They will have the chanee to make the O... or kill il for this year.

Will Offer Acad&mic Lectures If High School Military Duties Permit. Colonel John Leader returned to the campus yesterday from a trip to Bri'/sh Columbia, where he went to “round up some property,” of which he bad lost trace since he left it four years ago. The colonel, as chairman of the com mittee on supervision, is still busy per fieting plans for the military training to be given in the high schools through the state, lie now has thirty high schools on the list for this training and hopes to have all the plans completed for the beginning of this work by the new year. The Portland high schools, who were formerly oil the list for this training, have decided not to co-operate with the other high schools of the state but to let the federal gvernment introduce the work there, which will probably come a little later, the colonel says. Colonel Leader is quite confident, of remaining at the University through the year, and may, if the high schools do not require too much of his time, do some lecture work on the campus. The colonel and Mrs. Leader, who ac companied him on the trip north, found the influenza condition very severe in British Columbia, especially in Vancouv er, where the deaths are reaching an appalling number.

With news from the men in the 65tli Artillery, Captain Bolton Hamble, mem ber of the class of 1908. of the Univer sity, arrived in Eugene yesterday morn ing. Captain Hamble left France the day the armistice was signed, and ar rived in New York on Thanksgiving day. Captain Hamble said that before he left the front where the boys were they had heard rumors that the armistice had been signed and all along the line the crack of rifles could be heard of the boys celebrating. He said that they were per fectly willing to give up the trip to Berlin, if the destruction could stop. Batteries C and E of the 65th Artil lery are made up largely of Lane county and University boys, who enlisted in sec ond and third companies of the former national guard located in Eugene before they were taken to Fort Stevens for their final training. Proud of Boys of 65th. “All the boys did mighty well,” Cau tain Hamble said, “and I am proud of every one of them. It is up to me to tell what they did because when they come back they will never tell how bravely they stuck to their guns when they were ready to drop from exhaustion.” The work of the men in the artillery has not the exeitiment that the dough boys experience, he pointed out, for that is one thing the men must not do, is get excited, they must handle their guns in a cool manner if their firing is to be of value. There is practically no chance for men in their kind of service to dis tinguish themselves for bravery. Taka Part in Five Offensives. Though the second and third brigades had been in five offensives, starting at St. Mihiel, and under shell fire most of that time yet tfiere was not a single serious casualty in the 65th that Captain Hamble knew about. Some who had been with the regiment at first had become separated from their regiment when they had to go back to a hospital during an illness and he did not know about them. The 65tli handled 9.2 in guns or the British Howitzers. These guns had been made by America and sold to the Brit ish and then bought back by America for use in the United Staten army. They put those guns where the British and French said “impossible.” The 65th wan the only American regiment which handled 9.2 guns to get into action on the battle front before the armistice was signed. Captain Hamble will take the place of some French officer who has been in structor in army camps over here. .. STU BEN TS AT CAMP TAYLOR . William Balstou, former Oregon stu dent now training at Camp Zachary Taylor has decided to remain, and pre pare for a military career. William Holmes, also at the camp, and a fresh man in college expects to return to his home in Baltimore, Maryland, as soon ns released from the service. Henry Eichkoff has had Spanish influenza since his arrival at Camp Taylor. He will not be discharged from the service until four days after his release from thp camp hospital.

The action of the student council in j ruling against interstate trips from mn> supporting activities, put the debate council, which met Thursday evening in Johnson hall, up against a stiff proposi tion, according to the statement made today by Robert W. Prescott, faculty member of the council. With the debate schedule for this year seriously impaired by the action ef the student council with regard to finances, the debate council confronted the mat ter of devising a new schedule for men and women’s debate, which would give a strong incentive to the students, and which at the same time would co-operate with the student council in its retrench ment program. If there had not been a call for re trenchment, the debate program for this year would have been as follows: a dual debate with O. A. C., a triangular men's debate with the Universities of Wash ington and British Columbia, a dual co ed debate with the University of Wash ington; while the oratorical schedule in cluded Oregon’s representation at the state oratorical contest, at the state pro hibition oratorical league contest, and at the interstate oratorical contest with the University of Washington. As the mat ter stands, it is the unanimous opinion of the debate council that at least the date for the O. A. C. debate should be kept regardless of the small deficit incurred. To Remain In Association. The majority of the members of the debate council also held that it would be disastrous for the University to with draw from the inter-collegiate Oratorical association on account of financial mat ters. The University is one of the charter mem hers which helped to establish the league twenty-five or thirty years ago, along with O. A. C., Willamette, Pacific, Albuny and Monmouth normal. It will he remembered that Abe Ros enberg, who was then a freshman, won first place for Oregon last spring when the association met at Salem. It was at this time also, that Dwight Wilson was made president of the organization, and since he is in the service now, Ruth Graham, a senior in the University, has been named to succeed him. Inasmuch as the president of the asso ciation is an Oregon student, and in as much ns the state oratorical contest is scheduled to be held here on the second Friday of March, it is the opinion of the debate council that to continue active embership in the Intercollegiate Ora torical association is to continue the up keep of Oregon tradition. Committee Appointed. A committee comprised of Abe Ros enberg, Marie Badura and Ruth Graham, student members of the debate council, has been appointed to take up the debate situation with the student council at its next meeting. Ruth Graham and Marie Badura were also appointed to take up the question of inter-fraternal co-ed debate with the houses on the campus. The women’s houses had agreed last year to put out teams, but on account of war work, a decision was reached to postpone the matter. The debate council believes that this should be started immediately after Christmas. The debate league also took stops to initiate interfratern.nl debate league wors in January, as soon as the men get back into their houses. It will be remembered that the Fijis have won the debate shield twice in suc cession and that one more winning will make it theirs permanently. From all appearances it would seem that they are going to have to fight for it. CHANCE FOR JOURNALIST The opportunity to attend one week of the session of the state legislature at Valera next January has been offered by Eric TV. Allen, dean of the school of Journalism, to one of the members of the senior class in editing. The plan, according to Mr. Allen, is to hare one member of the class git. in on one week’s session of the legiglatare and send to the University bulletins of the proceedings and happenings, jusrt as a foreign correspondent would. This ! work will be counted as a thesis by Pro fessor Allen. “This would give the student -valua ble experience,” said Professor Allen, “and the only difference wonld be the expense involved, «nd in the case of a girl the question of chaperonage.” The members of the class, when ques tioned as to whether or not one of their number would wish to carry out this plan were enthusiastic, but none of them have friends in Salem with whom they could stay if they wont, and all being wo men the question of chaperonagg must be considered. They are to consider the question and report their decisions later to Professor Alien. MAY TAKE MAGAZINES OUT Student* Allowed to Carry Periodical* Home for Perusual. To meet the demand for more popular magazines to take home from the library, duplicate numbers of 10 or 12 of the most interesting ones will be available for circulation, beginning with the January numbers, according to M. H. Douglass, librarian. The magazines will be checked out <m the same plnn used in checking out books. The weekly numbers may be kept ont one day and the monthly num bers kept two days. Not more than one magazine will be given to a student at one time. The plan of providing extra copies of the most popular magnnhias for the stu dents to take home is a trial and its con tinuation depends upon its usefulness and expense. The service will be main tained with money obtained from fines received from lest *nd overdue books. Last year, $214.55 were received in fines. December numbers of the following magazines have been purchased and are now on the selves near the desk and students may borrow the copies by ap plying at the desk: Scribners, ATorld’s Work, Review of Reviews, Current Opin ion and the Literary Digest. The plan is to provide copies of the following weeklies and monthlies: At lantic, Harper’s, Scribners, Century, Re view of Reviews, World’s Work, Current Opinion, and Literary Digest.
