UPPERCLASSMEN HAVING WAR EXPERIENCE NEEDED Those Wearing Full Uniform ■ Must Carry Discharge Chevron. , "While the return of a number of sol tlierg on the campus from periods of several months service in the army and jyet who still have their lower division rating in the University the question has been raised on the campus whether these men will he required to drill when re entering the University. ! In an interview with Colonel W. H. C. [Bowen, professor of military tactics at ithe University and who is in charge of fthe R. O. T. C. at the University, the (position of these men was made clear. f“These men,” Col. Bowen said, “can by applying to the University authorities fbe excused from drill if it is considered that they have had sufficient work along (that line. They must, however, get their ,«xcuse from the authority that made the ruling making drill compulsory for freshmen aud sophomores, and not from me. We are trying to get the upper classmen to drill the R. O. T. C., es pecially those who have had military training but it is not compulsory.” Must Wear Whole Uniform. The men are required to wear the ./hole uniform or none when the E. O. T. C. uniforms arrive, he said, but with the S. A. T. C. uniforms which the men now have they may wear them as they please ns there is no authority on the campus since the discontinuance of the g. A. T. C. to regulate the way tli^ men (wear them. However, Colonel Bowen depends upon the students to see that when a freshman wears a full uniform that he also wears the campaign hat, nnd designate his status as a freshman by wearing green ribbon on the left phest pocket. It is an order, however, be said, that discharged men must wear im the upper part of the left sleeve the ted discharge chevron. Expected to Salute. Concerning salutes Colonel Bowen ex rplained that when a man is in uniform jhe ought to as a matter of courtesy ifrom one gentleman to another give the 'military salute and though he may be discharged from the service he has on the uniform of the United States Army, and as such should recognize by the. salute a commissioned officer who also appears in full uniform. authors among faculty List of 292 Publications Turned in at Library; Nine Professors Write.

Room 31! in the upstairs of the li brary is undergoing all manner of change at the hands of the University ['historian, Ella Dews and her commit 'ee of workers who have become arch aeologist in the true sense of the word l in their efforts to dig up interesting feets and souvenirs in connection with Oregon’s history. “Next week the office will be open , every day,” said Ella Dews, “so that the committees can gather material for their various departments from the copies and files of University papers and magazines which are kept in the room.” Since each department is to have a scrap book containing all mate rial of interest pertaining to that sec tion from the foundation of the Univer sity to the present, old college publica tions will be especially useful to the committet members, and Ella Dews has nfcked that students who have Univer sity magazines or papers in their pos session will turn them over to her. Already the walls of the room mark ed “University History and Records-’ have taken on the appearance of a museum and are sporting such Univer sity valuables as the “Roll of Honor,” the list of college women who have con tributed their time and labor toward the construction of the University Rat talion Colors; and the Forensic Shield Bound copies of all University month lies and tri-weeklio<! and other minor publications are filed in the room. The committees are planning to make a feature of the “Oregon Plistory and Records” room during Junior Week end by which time they claim it will be ready for inspection. Athletic cups and trophies will probably be kept in the room, according to Ella Dews who Is now endeavoring to get the Bat talion flag for the walls.

The first 15 days will be devoted to the more routine work of drills and several lec tures a day on military sciences. These courses will give the necessary training for the reserve officers who are re quired to take 15 days of such training a year.

Three hours a week will be devoted to it. with only an occasional drill. ‘‘Of (he forty seven military sciences. T place drill forty-first.” Colonel Leader said today. ‘‘Its primary object is discipline, and I do not consider this necessary for boys who are receiving this training in other ways.” Three Hours Required. Three hours a week required work will be divided between lectures on mil itary subjects and games. “I am strong ly in favor of all games which develop team work and which are thoroughly democratic,” says Colonel Leader. Military History of the United States will be particularly emphasized by Col omel Leader. Lectures will be given in military topography, which aids in surveying, and military engineering, science of tactics, and bombing and bayoneting.

Rosamund Shaw, a 191S graduate of 1 the University school of journalism, is j now a reporter on the Spokane Daily Chronicle, an evening: paper of Spo kane. Washington. Miss Shaw took her position last July, since that time she has had several signed articles in the paper.

Dell Stannnrd, \H, is back on the cam pus, after having served with the liav^in South America and France for two year*. He is visiting at the Kappa Sigma house of which fraternity he is a member. On April 6. 1917, Stannnrd, with the Oregon Naval Volunteers went ou board the U. S. S. Dakota and sailed to San Diego where they joined the rest of the fleet and went to South America to pour the oil of American assistance on the troubled political waters of that country, but no action was taken. They went first to Guatemala,then to I'nnamn, through the caual to Brazil, visiting Rio de Jnneiro, which, Stannnrd says, is a wonderful city. They stayed at Monte video 13 days and were treated royally by the Y. M. C, A., an entertainment be ing given for them every day or evening. At Buenos Aires, where the British gov ernment owns most of the public service utilities, Stnnnard declared they couldn’t spend a nickel. Everything was free to them and several big banquets were giv en them. After South America severed relations with Germany a great parade was given in Rio de Janeiro on the Fourth of July. British, French and Brazilian vessels were on parade with the American fleet and that was the first time .according to Mr. Stannard, that an American flag flew above the British on a flag ship. Ileturning to Xew York in November, Stunnard saw the wreckage at Halifax after the gigantic explosion. ‘‘What 1 saw there,” said Stannard, "was us great | or greater than any scenes of destruction that 1 saw in France.” While stationed at Hampton Roads. Va„ after the reurn of the fleet from South America Stannard hud a chance to join the United States naval railway batteries and left for France last May. He was in the fighting at T>aon and later at Verdun. "We used the largest and longest range guns at the front with the exception of the Big Berthas,” said Stan nard. "They were 14-inch JO calibre guns and fired a 1470 pound shell for 28 miles.” While in France at an artillery base Stannard saw Graham E. MeConnel. Ore gon’s champion half-mile truck runner in 101”. Tie met the late Captain John E. Kuykendall’s ambulance train but did not have an opportunity to see Kuykendall. Stannard returned to the United States on the U. S. S. New York flagship with the grand fleet, just after Christmas. 1018, and worked in United Suites naval laboratories until lie received his dis charge. He expects to return to hiR home in Portland today and will re-enter the University of Oregon medical school in the fall. Stannard says it is great to be back on the campus and expressed sur prise at the way the University has re adjusted itself so quickly to a beforc the-war basis in all its activities. TREGILGAS HERE ON LEAVE Member of ’18 Class Arranging for De gree; Brings News of Sheehy. Harold Tregilgas. member of the class of 1018, on furlough from the navy training station at Mare Island, was on the pampas yesterday arranging his credits for a degree. His training in the navy since Pocomhor, 1017. has been counted as sufficient credits to make for his graduation, without fur ther work in the University. “Trig” who returned to California this summer is awaiting his commis sion as ensign after having completed his last five months’ of training. There were 27 men in his class, 18 of whom will he commissioned. He saw Jimmy Sheehy, last year’s student body president, in Berkeley | about three w’eoks ago- Jimmy is go ing to Arizona soon for recuperation and will probably not he discharged from the army until late this summer, when he hopes to he in good shape again. lie has been in the hospital for some time. Only one other University of Oregon man was in Tregilgaft' company of men at Mare Island, Marion Butler, who was at the University two years a*o.* , Nail-Carrying and Reporting Jobs Not Without Advantage And now it is known just why Mr. Donald Duncan beams so broadly when he comes out of the Household Arts department after depositing the morn ing's mail there. He was seen and observed closely by several spectators the other day when he casually entered the building with the usual package of mail. A irather prolonged space of time elapsed, but at length that gentleman came forth with a wide and cheerful smile overspreading his countenance, yet there seemed to be no visible cause for said smile. The next day n roportng sleuth fol lowed 'Mr. Duncan into the laboratory and solved the mystery. The reporter found that on that par ticular morning the Food and Nutrition class was giving a breakfast ns part of its class work and also had given a prac tical demonstration of food and nutri tion' to the most grateful and apprecia tive reporter and to the deliverer of mail Further investigation revealed that, such things often happen on that bent. Biscuits 11ml marmalade are given care ful consideration wind criticism of the post flattering port by connoisseur Dun can, omelet is tested, even pie and cake are put up for the crucial test—and all go fur toward producing the aforemen tioned smile. The mail for Hendricks llall also is delivered through the kitheen entrance.
