THE COLONIAL FETE* A hang-over sentiment against, benefit plays—a Bolsheviki fueling on the campus resulting last month due to the too frequent benefit cumpnigns for stu dent activities and the Woman’s build ing—is now Crowning upon tbe Colonial Fete. This feeling among whnt is apparently rt large percentage of tlio student body is 11s unfortunate us it is uujust. l'liuis for the Colonial Fete have been under consideration for severnl weeks nnd much preparation toward making it u success lias been made by women of the University. The pluus as now pro gressing toward their filial form assure an evening of real entertainment, for the members of the student body fortunate enough to attend—living tableaux of Colonial people, u well prepared program of entertainment in the Guild Hull theatre, and dancing at lleudricks 11^ for the bulunce of the evening. Tickets which will admit to all three places of j eutorUiuiuiont are now being sold for j fifty cents each. Certainly the students are going to get their money’s worth—» any ordinary date costs fully as much while this is unusual, unusually good and for a good purpose. The Student body is not against bene fits for the Woman’s building. It is only against benefits which place too much burden upon the students of Oregon, a majority of whom are attending the University on small allowances or work ing their own way. The Colonial Fete Is giwng good cuterUuunent at a oast act exect- -i vo. It in vitally lmpoortant, too, thnt the students attend this entertainment os Home sixty influential Portland people are invited to visit the campus for this event. They ore coming because they are interested in the proposed Woman's building and want to see the students for which this building is to be built. If some members of the student body boy cott this entertainment, it is not simply a matter of missing a good night w eu joyment. It will give the visiting peo ple who have been invited for severs’ ! weeks and looking forward to this event, an unfair impression of the student body and of the University, assurance haa been given the Emerald, that this will be the last benefit enter tainment for the benefit fund until the students have had at least a fair chance to recuperate their private finances and after this time the benefits will not be planned in such rapid succession nor at such prices as to inconvenience students or to possibly prevent them from attend ing certain events. It is unfortunate that the Colonial Fete comes at the end of such a period. But it is the last although among the first planned. It is up to Oregon students to muke good this time. The Colonial Fete is important for the University and is not bjyond the reach of any student. Ruling on Absences Requires Prompt Attention by Students. No student may son his cuts at the window at the Registrar's’office and all cuts must be ‘excused directly through the office of the Dean of Women or the Dean of Men. This was the ruling made by the committee appointed by the presi dent t/ investigate the cut system of the University. This ruling which went into effect to day leaves the matter of excusing cuts entirely in the hands of Dean Ehrmann and Dean Straub. The student must go to the dean's office, get the excuse blank and fill it out, and then take it back to the denri. The students will al so be obliged to remember their cuts. They have not been able to see their cuts since Monday. Absences prior to today, Feb. 21, must be excused before the winter term is over or they will be Ntnnd as a perma nent unexeusod absences. Cuts made after today must be excused within a month or they will lie permanently un excused. This will keep the matter up to date, said Dr. A. E. Caswell, chair man of the committee investigating the cut system, and the student will get Ids cuts attended to while they are still fresh in his mind. The notice given to the students reads as follows: Notice is hereby given to all students of the University of Oregon regarding the matter of excuses for absence: I—Excuse blanks are obtainable only from the Dean of Meu or the Dean of Women. 2 - Students are held responsible for their OWN records of absence. ."—•All absences occurring previous to February 21st, 1010, must be accounted for by March 21st. 1010, or they will stand as permanently unexcused. •I Ml absence occurring after Febru ary 21st, 1010, must be accounted for within one month after their occurranco or they will stand us permanently un excused.

I - Robert Earl, former University stu dent, now with the American army in France, has written of his experiences during the war in a letter to his brother Virgil, a copy of which has just been received by Emma Wootton Hall, sec retary for military affairs in the Uni versity. His letter follows in part: “On May 24 my squad and myself were sitting in our little tent in Camp Mills. At 6 o’clock we were told to have our packs rolled at no later than 1 A. M. At 1:30 A. M. the whistle blew. The command fall in was given. We march ed to a train, which was waiting three miles away. We entered at three o’clock. At 0 A. M. on the 25th we marched on board the Cedric, i “Shooting at Everything" "We lay in port all day and all night. The next morning at 8 :30 we pulled out of New York harbor. Our convoy was made tip a few hours later and by 2 :00 I’. M. we were out at sea. We were shooting at everything all the way across, but whether we hit anything I cannot say. We landed in Liverpool, England, twelve days later. We then left on trains for Southampton, Eng land- I might add that I was pretty hungry, but we didn’t get much to eat there. But after seeing the sarcifice these people were making, we decided we could go a few more daya on corned beef and crackers. “After we left Southampton where ive stayed two days we sailed across the English channel. Wre had a lively trip. It was rough and the submarines were, much in evidence. Wre landed in La Havre, France. After a six-mile hike we unslung packs and made a camp for night. This was a boiling out station, and, believe me, we needed it. W'e had a good steam hath. Traveled In Box Cars. “The next morning we left this place, in box cars lor the interior. Of course we did not have the least idea where we were going- These box cars had signs on them, so many homines (men) ans so many ehevaux (horses.) We travel ed in these box curs and the higher ups held clown perfectly good berths in the coaches. After traveling for thirty-six hours the train rolled into a place called Mehune. It was a large base ammuni tion depot. The next morning we were out juggling ammunition of all kinds. We kept this up night and day for five weeks and then I broke my wrist, after wrench ing it severely.” After receiving his appointment at Paris to the first army Mr. Earl was at Chateau Thierry for a while and from there reported for French utillery duty. After finishing this work they started advancing with the constant retreat of the Iluus. Bombed Night and Day. "FtM'e eu Tardeuois was our next dump. We landed there the day after the Hunt} evacuated. They left a few traps, but not many as in other places because they were completely swept away and had very little time to gather up supplies. In their hasty retreat they left thousands of rounds of ammunition. The big Bertha emplacement was also found. It was a huge thing. "We were bombed night and day in this place with German light and heavy artillery blazing upon us and important roads near by. 1 have lost some good friends in this game but it only added to our hatred. This war was no place for grand stand plays. War was being carried on in a scientific and business like way.

Immediate delivery and prompt service. C. A. Mouse, Prop. realize more fully the seriousness. I was helping supply some of our best American divisions and I have seen the boys at work. I am glad that I am an American, because I never saw the others display the fearlessness that our men displayed- When our boys went over the top they went- after eating a good meal. In the hot weather they shed their coats and overshirts. The Huns knew they were coming and the French and American artillery put over a barrage that would take- the heart out of the devil himself. Clean Life is Led. “Perhaps you would like to know how the fellows in general felt. During the war the fellows at the front wrere seri ous. They were homesirtc, but deter mined to stay to the end. Now they are anxious to get home- The fellows over here, I mean the majority, have led a clean life, having profited by the ex periences of the British and French armies. Of course I cannot say they did not drink wine for many of them did It was often necessary, for the water was poor and unhealthy. The fellows will come back home better men than when they came over.” -- JOINT RECITAL SUNDAY Arthur Faguy-Cote and R. L. Barron to Give Concert at Guild Hall.
