LET’S TURN OUT
The house was packed at one dollar
a seat and people turned away from
the door when the state oratorical con
test was hold at the University in 1905.
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.

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.
Hen II. Williams took a very promi
nent part in campus activities during
his four years of'College, lie was stu
dent, body president in litll, was pres
ident of the Laurean Literary society,
associate editor of the weekly which
was then in existence, and was also as
sociate editor of the Oregaaa, a member
and captain of the varsity track team,
and Williams held the' college record
in the pole vault. lie also took part
in the interstate oratorical contest.
