UNTIL PEACE IS ASSURED A communication printed in the Em erald of last Saturday disparaging the recent faculty ^hange of drill to a four hour period each Saturday morning, and further advocating the abolition of the R. O. T. C. as a military unit of the University campus has brought no end of comment and discussion concern ing the much mootod question. A canvass of those effected by the recent change, sophomores and frosli men, brings to view a hearty dislike and near disgust over the change to the Saturday morning period. Student opinion backs the statement of the afore mentioned communication in that “it is the straw that breaks the cam el’s mack.” Those who work their way through college, either in totul or in part, and they are not in the minority, are robbed of their Saturday morning opportunity to strengthen their ex chequer. True they can be excused by petition, but what will lie the future el' the drill if fifty per cent of the men are exempted f Track and baseball athletics will suffer in that men cannot drill Saturday morning and enter col legiate competition two hours later. And there is a wholesome and thor ough dislike for any drill, “now that the objective is removed,” say the ob jecters. The daily attendance proves that. The quick discarding of the khaki by men returned from over seas, the open and avowed campus expres Mims i>y i>\ soldiers mills it. It appears tlu> result of the normal expression of American muniiooil toward compulsory discipline during peace times; the re action following those long months of anxiety, red hot patriotism and keened nerves. “Drill is the hunk,’’ how often has that succinct phrase re echoed from Deady to the Library dur ing the joist four months. Where may we look for the jiauacea, the herb, to remove the pungency from the drill period 1 Those who are com palled to take the drill advoeate as a last resort the return to the old ached ule of tri weekly jteriods. All seem agreed in opposition to the Saturday meriting sessions; many, as did the writer of the recent communication, urge complete abolition of the ::dull, dispirited sijuads left. ’ Compulsion the incorporation of the “you must’’ edict is in the Kmerald's opinion the crux of the present under class opposition. College men are adverse in pence times to military authority imposed on them. Put the drill to a vote of the men of the University let them ac cept or reject that is one solution we believe. We fear the ballot would show a preponderance of '' no's ’ ’ and per haps but two sijuads on the drill field. Keep the drill sessions at the former tri-weekly jieriods, lest the present dis temper prevalent in underclass ranks rush as a flood tide on the ocean shore. Or the removal of the compulsory at tached to it.' Perhaps either one will aid the efficiency of the organization that gives evidence of displaying dec imated ranks on the coming Saturdays. The casting aside of the R. O. T| C. is premature and out of order at this writing. From the green cloth at Paris there is yet to come the world document that we pray will safeguard us from another Prussia. TTfe parchment gives evidence of bearing the handwriting of the Hun signatories within another month. Bolshevism may bloom ramp ant over night. Until the world is given the unmis takable assurance of order and peace, until our troops are released from their wearied pacing to and fro in their Rhineland prison, the R. O. T. C. must go on as a link in the preparedness scheme that the United States may yet find potent. Combined brains at Paris may advo cate complete disarmament of nations. Our talked of scheme of universal mil itary training may not be necessary. Until the landscape is unclouded, un til humanity can see and feel th.e true worth of assured peace the R. O. T. C. must continue as a precautionary meas ure.—J. S. S. ORCHESTRA WILL APPEAR Miss Eleanor Lee and H. E.

DOUGLASS IS AUTHOR Brother of Librarian Writes Series of Studies on “The Little Town” Harlan Haul Douglass, brother of M. 11.

BAND CONCERT AND Affair Will be Given in Armory; Proceeds Donated to Stu dent Body Fund The University of Oregon band, under the direction of Albert Perfect, will be heard in concert at the Eugene armory on (April 25. Mr. Perfect is busy arranging the program and mak ing slight changes, which have been made necessary due to a few of the members not returning to college this term. The program will be well bal anced and of very high musical stand ard. Mr. Perfect has expressed the hope that the members of the faculty will get out for the concert. The band is the one student body organization that the faculty has very little chance to see or hear and Mr. Perfect hopes that they will support this appear ance. During the concert, Mr. Perfect announces, there will be no popular music played, this being reserved for the dance which will follow the con cert. The latest “jazz" music has been secured for the dance and there is to be no limit set for the amount of pep that will be put into the music. Admission to the concert will be 15 cents and the dance will be 35 cents in addition. This makes the total of 50 cents for the evening. The concert tickets have been prepared separately so that those who do not care to dance may have the opportunity to hear the concert. All funds derived from the evening’s entertainment will be turned into the student body fund. The band is the only student body organization on the campus that has not received any financial help from the student body this year. LIZZIE GETS BIG SURPRISE Miss Ford to be Entertained by Dr. Boynton on Her Birthday 'Dr. W. P. Boynton, professor of| physics in the University, gave his Ford a surprise yesterday. Lizzie got the first complete overhauling she has had for four years, and in the words of the poet she ■ now believes that “{ill things come to those that wait.’’ Ipzz.ie got an overhauling yesterday. Dr. Boynton thinks a lot of his car as any one on the campus will testify. He gave out a little inside dope as the manner in which he intends to celebrate Lizzie’s birthday. Lizzie will be ten years old on June 11, and on that auspicious occasion she will receive another surprise. Dr Boyn ton declined to say whether it would | be similar in nature to the surprise of yesterday, fearing that if he gave out this information Lizzie aright hear of it in some way.

EUGENE, OREGON DEBATES SET FOR MAY 22 Hendricks Hall and Betas Will Meet In Finals at Assembly Hour May 21 has been set as the day for the final debates between Hendricks hall and Beta Theta Pi, the two win ners of the recent doughnut league de bate series. This was the decision made by representatives of the two teams involved" and R. W. Prescott, professor of public speaking. The de bate will be held at the regular assem bly hour which will assure everyone of being able to hear it. One debate will be held in Villard hall and the other in Guild halK The question decided upon for debate is: “Resolved; That it would be more dangerous for the United States to join the league of nations than not to join.” The question, of course, presupposes the outcome of the covenant of na tions. The Hendricks hall teams, evidently determined to win the final champion ship, have began working on the ques tion already. The affimative and neg- i ative speakers have been decided upon ! and a coach appointed. Hendricks hall affirmative will be upheld by Wanda Daggett and Elaine Cooper, while the negative will be supported by Alys Sut ton and Ethel Wakefield. Walter My ers has been appointed coach. Tho Betas will be represented by Forest Watson, Richard Martin, Cur tiss Peterson and Eugene Kelty. As yet no decision has been made as to 1 who will uphold either side. Professor Prescott has announced that a prize of a large and beautiful davenport chair, with the names of the debaters and the house inscribed upon it is being considered as a gift to the winning team. ofc A Monroe Wrrow collar CLUETTPEABODYacCoilNC: TROYN-Y Rest Glasses l)o you fool now ami then as though you just MUST close your tired, aching • eyes, while duty compels you to continue using them? 1/ I li of feyptok AnBmmt GLASSES REST THE EYES AS A CHAIR RESTS THE BODY It' they are correctly fitted?
