Tt is a conservative estimate to say
(but 50 per cent of the students of the
University of Oregon do not participate
In campus activities. That this should
be the case is a reflection not at all
flattering to the students of Oregon. For
the University of Oregon offers to every
one who will accept it an education en
compassing vastly more than just enough
knowledge of text books to make a pass
ing grade.
Th« University offers participation in
the numerous campus activities to round
ont and put into actual use the knowl
edge, the clear thinking, the fair miud
rducss, the broad understanding thnt
each student must ever seek to acquire
from his study in this institution. And
those who sit idly and with self satis
faction refusing to do more than the
minimum — blind to the opportunities
offered them in their own particular
field*—arc ns surely losing an opportu
nity ns evading a duty of loyalty t" their
University,
There are athletics for both men and
Women, oratory and debate, dramatics,
glee clubs, F,mernld work, membership in
campus associations, and other oppor
tunities for every student to make him
self useful to his follow students
through some sort of activity. This list
with the many other opportunities for
campus service is quite long enough to
offer every mail and woman of the Uni
versity of Oregon some active part in
the interests of the University.
Each student owe# such service
Sot only to hie better interest# hut to the
pood name of the University in cooperat
ing to make every University activity a
real activity worth while and of
pi enter and more vital importance every
dry, both on the campus and in the re
lation of this University with other in
stitutions. The question is a personal
one and up to everybody. Are YOU do
ing the very most you nn to keep your
University up and growing?

HEROES WHO DIED-SET
PACE, DECLARES LOCKLEY
(Continued from page one)
of you, I think, there are two in the ser
vice—either over there or in the camps
in this countryf’ he said. Hardly a day
passed that I did not see some man from
the University, and I felt proud of the
way Oregon responded to the call of the
war.” Lawrence Dinneen, Ernest Bills,
Walter McClure, Leo Potter, Kent Wil
son, Charles Croner, Joe Skelton and
several others were recalled by the
speaker.
His own feelings under fire were told
with a light touch. One dny. Mr. Lockley
said, he and his "bunlde,” Buck Taylor,
a co-worker in the Y., went up to the
front lino to be of service to the men.
Lockley had noticed that shells were go
ing far over them and he thought it would
be safe to go up. They ran out their tin
Lizzie and started. Before long the shells
began dropping too close for comfort, one
of them striking just where the car had |
been a few moments before. One of the
officers went to Taylor and said, ‘‘Really,
wo appreciate your efforts to serve us
here; but you are drawing the enemy's
fire. Would you mind going back of the
line?”
“Not in the lensC” was the emphatic
reply, as related by the Journal man.
‘‘The American soldier is like the old
crusader who went to save the Holy
Land, in that he went to save the whole
world and make It n fit place to live in.
The people of the United States have
never gone to war for any other purpose,
than for liberty. rIhis was the case in the
Revolutionary war, the Civil war. the
Spanish-Americun war. and in the World
war.”
Elsie Janis Tolls Stories.
The speaker concluded with a little
story told by Elsie Janis. An Irishman
hnd been captured by the linns. As he
was being led to the rear lie exclaimed,
‘Well, we licked you at the Somme.*
A German officer who had lived in Bal
timore heard the remark. ‘‘Another crack
like that, and you’ll he stood up and
shot,'” hi1 told the Irishman.
‘‘We licked ye, though,” retorted
Pnddjh
So the German officer brought up a
paper, and said, “Sign this or you’ll he
shot. This will make you a German sub
ject.”
After the Irishman had signed, he
said, “Well, am 1 a German now?”
“Ton are.”
"Well, then, didn’t them Irish give us

Mr. Lockley was introduced by Presi
dent Campbell.
The Journal man showed fiis feeling for
the University by turning over his lecture
fee to the student loan fund.
SWIMMING TO START SOON
Interelass Contests Likely; No Inter
collego Meet This Year.
Classes in swimming will start right
away, Dean Walker announced yesterday.
Underclassmen have been registering in
athletics the last few days and swimming
is expected to take a large number of
men as all men will be required to pass
s swimming test before they can gradu
ate, according to Air. Walker.
There will be no varsity team in swim
ming or interscholastic meet this year
but there will undoubtedly be interclass
contests and perhaps a doughnut series.
Bill Morrison and Harold Grey for the
seniors have both experience and ability
and in an interelass coiitest would be
strong contenders for first honors.
Newton Ester should show up well for
the juniors and Julian Ueslie is expected
to head the sophomores.
Air. Walker urges all men not ip other
athletics to get out for this indoor sport
now using the better weather for outdoor
events.
