From this fact can be estimated the j enthusiasm for debating and intellect ual activity on the campus at that time. Although it was perhaps a minor event compared to the holding this week-end of the state oratorical con-, test on the campus, an example of last year’s interest in debate can be had from figures of the University of Oro gon vs. British Columbia debate. A few scattered students about twice! as large a group as the judges hoard the debate. It did not cost one dollar admission. It was free to the student body. This is perhaps -fair expression of debate interest on the <-:iinpus last your. War work was taking all time and in lectual activities naturally suffered. The attitude on the campus this year, however, has changed. Oregon has staged the most representative series of intramural debates ever arranged at the I’uiversity or on the Pacific Coast. There is more debate interest and general increase in all lines of intellec tual activity on the campus this year. This will lead a large number of stu dents, no doubt, to attend the state oratorical contest program but it will take much to overcome the feeling of some members of the student body that debates are good to participate in but poor to watch, principally, perhaps, be cause they are often without admission charge and always low in price for the members of the student body. The state oratorical contests are held tm tlu* campus but once in eight years. We have, perhaps as strong or stronger interest in debate this year than other ■colleges and I’nicersities in the state. They have been packing their houses during the seven years since the con tests were last held at Oregon. It is now up to Oregon to show the interest she has to the people from the other institutions of the state and the prom incut men who will lie judges here. R. O. T. C.

BEN WILLIAMS OFF FOR EAST Former Member of Faculty Leaves for Newport News to Help Put Sol diers on Peace Footing Ben H. Williams, 1911, leaves Port land today for Newport News where he goes to enter war camp community ser vice work. Williams was formerly sec retary of social welfare in the Univer sity Extension division. Bincp May 8, 1917, Williams has been in the service. He first applied for ad mission for an officers’ commission in the reserve corps and passed his exami nation under Captain Willis Shippam, coast artillery corps instructor in Eu gene at that time. He took the first training camp work at the Presidio and graduated as a second lieutenant in the coast artillery. Williams was sent to Fort Stevens and was there from Aug ust, 1917 to July, 1918 while at Fort Stevens he was given the rank of first lieutenant, battery 69, C. A. C. On July 31, 1919, Lieutenant Will iams left Fort Stevens for France and returned to this country March 18, 1919. While in France he was com manding officer of the supply com pany, 69th artillery. After his return to this country and his discharge, Williams engaged in Bed Cross work in the northwest field and served under the supervision of Earl Kilpatrick, who, up to 1917, was head of the University Extension division. Meets Returning Soldiers Lieutenant Williams’ present work is to meet the returning soldiers and to give them news of their home commun ities, and to put them in line for some form of work. While in France Williams spent most of his time around Bourdoaux, in the Gironde district. Like many others who were sent to that district, Williams spent some time in digging around for souvenirs of old Roman civilization, of which there are many traces in that district. He found some old Roman dishes and , some Roman tile, on one piece of which was the clear-cut impres sion of a child’s foot, indicating that a small child stepped on the tile be fore it was quite dry, thus making the impression. Ho said that if he had had a kodak and more time, ho could have brought back many interesting things. Popular With Preach Children “The American soldiers have made a big hit with the French kiddies and the french people can not quite get used to seeing them together,” he said. “Their playing certainly made a big hit with the youngsters. ’ ’ It will take a long time for France to got back on her foot, Lieutenant Williams claims, because she received a very hard blow through this war. Williams was here from 4 o'clock Sunday uulil 2 the next morning, visit ing his parents, Major and Mrs. J. M, Williams and his brother, William J. Williams, who is also in Kugene on a furlough.
