This is in flag rant disregard of the time-honored cus tom of the University students. The tradition of Hello I.nue should be re spected and honored not only because it s a real tradition of the institution hut treatise of the fame Oregon enjoys as a Vinocrativ, friendly place. The far-famed Oregon Spirit which is eSponsihle for athletic successes as well ,s triumphs along other lines of student vetivity is expressed in the simple frieud r greeting of ALL the students on the »inpus. The S. A. T. t’. is disbanded and Ore on is no longer a military cantonment, so let us revive the old traditions and customs of tlie University and make the student life full of friendship and pep. The student who fails to get acquainted v. it It his fellows while going to school loses a very vital part of his education. The field for friendship at Oregon is large, and the student who specializes on friendship finds an inexhaustible and ever changing source of pleasure and knowledge. A college student should be broader .hail titty little social clique and seek '■ompanionshtp outside his own particu lar group, lie lias no more excuse for provincialism in acquaintance titan in fiewpoiut. It should never lie allowed to be said fit Oregon, “1 nut tired of speaking to people who do not want to speak to me." Such a tiling as that is unheard of where the spirit of real democracy reigns. For the sake of the loved old tiadition, if for no other reason, such n remark should never hate reason for being. The large number of new students this f\ tr p rhapg do not realize the itupor tame ef these elistoins of former years, and for this reason the older students have opportunity by example and sttg gestion to introduce them to t Sts courtesy. Ho let us remeuiher that on the campus evi ryot.e knows everyone else and Hello J.uuc is any walk or building on the campus Don't wait for the other fellow, but spr tig your Hello first and see if h< doesn't respond with the same cheery greeting.

Allyn Crosses on Transport Which Crashes Into Tramp. “The army gets a few thrills, but^nny one on a troop ship thijt was torpe doed had the real experience,” writes Corpora] Wiliam P. Allyn of the ord nance detachment which is now located at -Montigny, Prance. William was a junior in the University in 11117 and graduated from the second ordnance course here last year. lie is a mem ber of Phi Gamma Delta. “I came across on the America, the one that sank in New York habryir in October,” he writes. “It, was the sec ond largest transport and there were 8,500 soldiers on bonrd besides a crew of 1.200 ‘gobs.’ I was in F8, meaning the fifth deck down and directly over the propeller. The hunks were in dou ble rows three tiers high, with an aisle a foot wide between each row of double hunks. To make it seem more like a bo coining across to the T/ind of Promise, they p it a lot of ‘waps,’ .Tews, Greeks and Russians in with us- Had we luid to double up with some, of our men it wouldn’t have been had, hut those newly drafted men from Ihe slums of Brook lyn were the limit. Men Slopt on Floor There were men sleeping nil over the floor, so thick yon, couldn’t walk, with only one little vent to let air in. After the first night I slept on deck. Some times it rained and the spray was pretty wet. Think of n great ship fitted up with a solid mass of hunks and about a thousand trying to find a place to lie down on the hard deck. It sure was a great trip. "But when we were about in the mid dle of the ocean something happened. The next morning I got the correct sto ry. lie had run into a tramp steamer going the other way and it was a col lision and not a submarine. I had hut one good look at. the boat, but I will never forget it- There were only a few wtio saw her, for she sank in about 10 minutes. One old fellow said he lmd been at sea all his life and had been in three shipwrecks, hut lie had never seen any thing to compare with this, awl I hope I never do again. The first time l saw the shells bursting over me was .nothing to compare with it. Eagerto Hoar of Reigard “1 haven’t, seen or heard of Max (Uoi gu.rd) since the 01st went in.

CHURCH HELPS STUDENTS Oregon Men and Women Receive War Emergency Scholarships. ’I e Joint ( entenunr) committee 5f the M ' >dist Kpiscopal church, with head ejuan rs in New York, is giving recon struction emergency sclndarehijis to stu dents returning from the service who would uot be able without tics help to continue their University work. The exe cutive secretary of the church’s com mittee on Reconstruction at Home has written Karl Onthank. secretary to Pres i ident Campbell, that one or more of these scholarships may be available for students of the University. The church has a fund which they have raised for the purpose of aiding boys who have just returned from the army and navy. Scholarships may also be nwarded to girls who have been doing war work for the government. Students who qualify should make ap plication at the president’s office. The Methodist Episcopal church will not con fine the awarding of its scholarships to students who are of that particular de nomination. Basketball Given Up Because of Weak Heart and in flamed Eyes. Neither “Chuck” Comfort nor Sa Starr will be spen on the basketball floor for Oregon this season, according to I>ean Walker. Si is suffering from in flamed eyes, ami the first few nights of practice shewed that he could continue only at great disadvantage. The weak heart, which kept Comfort out of the service, failed to get by the doctor who is giving the 'basketball men the once over to sec that they are in the best of physical condition. Both Sta.r and Comfort were willing to stick out the rest of the season, hut Walker thought it best that Jhey turn in their suits. Walker does not want any men out for any branch of athletics who, on ac count of their physical condition, may injure themselves by playing. The ath letic department is trying to build up men and not to tear them down through its work just wlmt will happen to Dow Wilson is not known as yft. Wilson failed to get, by the army doctors pud may have to give up basketball on account of his heart. He will probably have bis phys ical examination in a day or so and Ore gon followers will know the result. , BIBLE STUDY IS PLANNED i Six Weeks of Classes to he Held by j Y. W. C. A. A series of Bible classes to extend over six weeks is being planned for the women of the University by the Y. W. C. A. Knoll place of residence for Uni versity women is to have its class and a number of classes are being arranged for those who live in town. This work is being supervised by Dorothy Flegel, head of the association department of Bible study. The suggested subject for discussion is “The Principles of Christianity and Their Application to the Changing World of Today." But if any group prefers an other subject it is at liberty to choose it. Faculty and interested town folk will direct the classes, which are to he set on any night convenient. Miss Mary Per kins is taking a group of upperclassmen in this work. She will meet the girls at heivjiome and any upperclassmen is priv ileged to enter if she is willing to in struct a class of freshmen should neces sity arise. FACULTY TO PLAY GAMES Athletic Club Is Planned by Professors for Recreation. Members of the faculty of the Uni versity are getting the preparedness habit and are talking of forming an ath letic association. So far the plan has j | gone no farther than talk but it is ex ; I pacted that definite action will be taken I by the men instructors soon. The klea. as expressed by one or two ! members o ftho faculty, who have given the matter some thought, is to provide some means whereby the men can get a little recreation without encroaching i upon the students’ use of the gymua ! sin in and its equipment. The plan, for j the present, is t*> get a squash court; | erected which will give the "profs” a ; chanceto get more exorcise and to pep1 ihomselves up for their class hours Several years ago the faculty was rep resented in the doughnut baseball league and played a series of games with O. A , There is nothing agai- st having them re-enter theleagu e and grab off a cham pionship or two. OR. BATES RETURNS TO CAMPUS; Dr. K. S.

Wallace’s (Obakl Cigar Store, SOI Will, Conipb-te line Cigars and Cigar ettes if Junior From Albany Reaches England as Armistice Is Signed. The first man to return this term from overseas duty ana to register in the University is Lee Hulbert, of Al bany, who was with the ”2r>th air ser vice squadron at a camp near London for four months, •landing on nis return to the United States December 2, 1918. Halbert, who enlisted February 2, 1918, took his preliminary training at Kelly Field, Texas, and Newport News, Vir ginia, sailing from New York for Liver pool August 7. Ife was in a squadron with luO Amer icans, the whole camp at St. Albans, where lie was stationed, being under British command. He was a mechanic in the ground service and would have completed lus training and been in 1 Vance by the middle of December if the armis tice had not been signed. His work would have been to take care of the bombing planes. .Vs it was, he sailed for home from Liverpool just two weeks after the armistice had been signed. England Not Like Home Hiulbert found England pleasant enough, but not like home. “I certainly would never wrant to li,ve there,” he says. “It was a queer thing, that, al though everyone had been fretting be cause we were not in France, the min ute the armistice had been signed, the first thing the boys wanted to do was to get home. We had no idea jt.hat we would be able to get back so quickly, however.” The only other men from the western part of Oregon in Hiilbert’s squadron, were Sam Scheldt, of Junction City, now' in Seattle, and John Hilary, of 'Port land, formerly of .McMinnville. London Celebration Memorable Hulbert was in London soon after the armistice was signed. The celebration, he says, was something such as he never expects to see again. People danced in the streets, and everyone was hila riously jubilant. Harry Lauder was one of the passen gers on the Mauretania, on which Hul bert’s squadron returned- He was cross ing the Atlantic for the thirty-fifth time and yet lie was seasick, Hulbert says. The sea was very rough on this trip, but there were no very severe storms and the freedom from fear of subma rines made everyone happier. Hulbert is a junior and is continuing his work in the School of Commerce, in which he is a major student. TRACT PROSPECTS (Continued from page one) in high school easily won that event at the state interscholastic meet and in fact hung up a record which has not. as yet, been reached. Merle Margason, Bill thinks, possesses good possibilities of de veloping into a quarter miler, Morgason has never done much track work but lias a pair of legs which should carry him around the oval at about the same rate as “Grasshopper” Loueks. KE1E0T EXPECTS TO RETURN TO 0. -- j Signing of Armistice Turns Fly er’s Thoughts Back to Campus Days. John W- Kennedy, freshman in the University last year and a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, has written to Karl W. Onthank. secretary to Pres^ ident Campbell, asking for information concerning the third term of school. Ken nedy is a student flight officer in the IT. S. naval air station at San Diego, Cal. “It is quite a question for me to de cide whether I should return to old Or egon for the third term or continue in the service for a year or so,” he writes. “'Like a great many of the other fel lows. my thoughts began to return to the earning when the arlnistice was signed, and it takes a lot of will power to remain here and let the navy feed “But I am far from dissatisfied, be cause this is a wonderful life when you can settle comfortably in the seat of a plane and look around over the coun try. I wjll start tomorrow on ‘stunts’ and these seaplanes can surely give a fellow a kick when he wants to tip them over a bit and make the w-orld travel round you. A pleasant experience was mine today when I was up about feet and another plane was comic* down directly over me in a tail spin- 1 said pleasant because that was the pari of the experience when he just pulled out of the spin in time to dear me. “My, but the old campus looked gn.xl to me when I passed through Eugene on the train. It was midnight when I went by, but could see everything, and I could even draw on my imagination so that I could see the seal.
