TOR OREGON Perhaps never in the history of this American nation have the peoples been so keened, ho aroused, and bent to common end and duty than during those long, arduous days from April (I, 11117, until November 11, 1919. The grim business of war making, speeding lip industry in fabricating engines of death, the clink of sabers, the grandish ing of bayonets, the cries of the wound ed, the moans of the dying, left indeli ble inscriptions on the brows of American manhood and womanhood. Ah with the vigor of youth we en tered tin1 fray, hurried the day of vie tory and triumph, and with quickness and virility we are hurrying back to the normalities of life. Another six months should see our last khaki! wearer home from foreign soil. We all notice a spirit of semi-quiet ness, a somewhat hold in leash entlni siasm on the campus. The Marine, re turned from eight months of Hun hunt ing, to the duller business of the pur-| suit of knowledge, sighs for “the good old days of yoHten.ny. " He who guid «'d a powerful motor through the air, llnds the reaction of earthly bookcar > rving a dispirited thing. And in all is it not the natural reactive process of mind, “the lull after tin' storm,” the jump from steeled nerves and body tension to relaxation. .Minimi; irss iniin romaiKniue nits been our quirk transformation from warfare to piano.

Between classes let the Library steps and the historic trees in front of Deady buzz with the games with the Aggies, the track meet, and the biggest and best Junior week-end in Oregon’s history. Believe in Oregon. Know the re cords of the men who carried her ath letic light to the highest pinnacle. Have faith, unlimited faith in her ability to cope with any institut ion in the country. Know that our Oregon will some day grow to become one of the largest, institut ions on the Coast. Respect our antagonists, do not un derestimate our opponents in any line of endeavor. But know and believe that our institution need never bow its head in any line of endeavor to an ad versary. Let us harness every resource and activity in ending this historic school year in glory. Start today to insure an unequaled Juniof week-end. The duty is plainly before us-—an oppor tunity to give measure for measure. Oregon men and women have never failed. They will respond without .fail during these all important days that are so full with meaning in fashioning our future. FACULTY AHDlEiTS TO IH TENNIS Prescott - Leader Combination Looks Too Strong for Student Team Team Faculty No. 1 Dolt . Faculty No. 2 Beta . - —.----—,— Who is going to win the tennis game between the Dolts and faculty team No. 1 is the big question in doughnut j athletics now. These teams will prob ably clash Thursday afternoon. Pres cott and Colonel Leader form a com- : bination that may be the downfall of j the Delt team unless they play first | class tennis. There is nothing sensa tional about the game the faculty team plays, but it is greatly feared by the fraternity teams. On the Delt team Ken Smith seems to be the strong member. Ken plays a game of tennis i that will bring him fame some day. lack Askev, who can cross the court in two steps, is not any weak sister, so the Delt duo looks pretty good even though they are backed against former college champions. Among the followers of the racket sport it is thought that the champion-j ship rests between these two teams,' and the game between them may decide the honors of the league.

SETS NEW RECORD Returns from Trip with Most Flowers, Cabbages, Ducks and Coin in History (By HELEN MANNING) All previous University glee club records wer» broken when members of the girls’ glee club returned to Eugene Sunday after a five-clay tour through Coos Bay, laden with flowers, tomatoes, cabbage,s, live ducks, and $400. Never ! before did such a club return with such a purse and never before did the Coos Bay theaters house so many people at one time. “It was all my life was worth,’’ said Margaret Mansfield, “to guard the common purse. I have no desire to be a millionaire.’’ Standing room at the various show houses along the line sold for all prices but never for less than fifty cents, find improvised camp stools narrowed down the aisles. At Marshfield the first stop, almost one hundred people were turned away, and at Coquille the property man turn ed the vestibule into a theater wlier ethe people were forced to be satisfied with hearing and not seeing. “We surprised ourselves,’’ said Miss Eleanor Lee, dir ect or, “as our concerts were far be tter than we had dared to hope.” The newspaper comment along the line would have flat tered Caruso himself. Girls Busy Socially. Dunces, roc ep tions and dinners, along with motorboat rides and pic niees, kept the girls busy between trains and concerts while getting ac customed to the various types of stages came in for its share of time. Patty French, accompanist, found pianos of every description, mostly the kind that play in and out of tune. At Bandon the piano had a motion that resembled a boat in a storm and before the con cert was ended Patty was sea sick. Another feature of the Bandon show was the stage, which had been en larged for the night with boards that sagged in the middle. Those who danced in the stunt found the hills and valleys thus formed exhilerating. Several Dances Given The girls were “farmed out’’ at all the stops in the homes of hospitable townspeople who rushed them around in machines or boats to the various points of interest. Dances of the “free for all’’ nature were the usual enter tainment after the concerts at all the stops except Marshfield, where a recep tion was held honoring the club in the basement of the Methodist church. Needless to snv, tin1 girls voted in favor of the dances. At Bandon, the party was held in “Dreamland,’’ the hall in which the concert had just been staged, and the music furnished by a stamping fiddler and his lady friend at the piano banished all “dreamland’’ The saddest part of the trip hangs about Bandon and the good ship “t’lmrin, ” which insisted upon leaving dock there at 5:,U), just fifteen minutes before .lane Murphey and Margaret 1'helps arrived upon the scene. Frantic yells to the pilot and entreaties to the engineer were of no avail, for the ••('harm” left on schedule time. Telegrams and telephone messages were planned on the boat by persons inter ested in child welfare, and the chap erons had completed arrangements to return to Bandon by the next boat when the “Charm’’ turned the corner and came in sight of the Coquille harbor. There the two lost ones stood peacefully upon the dock, all unruffled by their long motor ride, which hadT landed them in Coquille long before their anxious sisters. Baby Ducks Take Trip The train ride home was made lively by the presence of two baby wild ducks which had been presented by the ferrv man at Coquille to two of the club members. The box in which the ducks were kept was low and the husky fowls spent their entire time in an effort to escape the walls. Twice they succeed e.l. A furious riot was the result. After the second capture the ducklings "esigned thmeselves to their fate and played about within the bounds of their b \. Monday night at some very late hour both ducklings died. although i cy were surrounded with water and food. The postmortem has failed to reveal the cause of death. The towns visited by the club were Marshfield. Wednesday night: Co (uille, Thursday night: Myrtle Point, Friday night; Bandon, Saturday night. “The girls will undoubtedly make a smaller tr^p later in the spring." said Margaret Mansfield, "and Portland and Astoria are now being sidored.' ’ con JUNIOR WOMEN SURVEYED Committee Meets This Week to Discuss Awarding of Gerlinger Cup The first step toward awarding the Gerlinger cup will ge taken this week when the awarding committee meets to canvas the field of eligible junior women for the cup which is to be given at the Junior Prom Saturday, May 10. The committee is composed of Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Mrs. F. M. Wilkins, Mrs. P. L. Compbell, Dean Louise Ehr mann, Dean John Straub, Herald White, president of the student body, and Harriet Garrett, president of Woman’s League. Irene H. Gerlinger, member of the board of regents of the University, offered thfe cup for the first time in 1918, when it was awarded to Roberts M. Schuebel. The qualifications which are considered in choosing the junior women are those of womanliness, in cluding personality and culture, also I campus activity and scholarship. The cup bears the following inscrip tion : “ For manners are not idle, But the fruit of loyal nature and of noble mind. ’ ’ LIBRARY RECEIVES PAPERS ‘ ‘ The Hatchet ’ ’ From Transport George Washington Reaches Campus A bound file of “The Hatchet,’’ known as “the biggest little news paper on the Atlantic,” published on board the U. S. S. George Washington for the benefit of the soldiers, has been received at the library. The book contains all editions of “The Hatchet” thus far published. The newspaper is made up of current events, humor, and poetry and has been read and sent home by over 50,000 soldiers who went over on the George Washington. The book was compiled by E. T.

Devereaux Presents Club With Lively Bull Dog The latest pledge of the U-Avava elub is one Rondo Caprice, a three year old bull terrier, given to the organiza tion by H. Devereaux, city engineer. Rondo is no ordinary dog but fully recommended with a pedigree which dates back five generations. Rondo has made the art of self defence his chief ambition ever since his former owner can remember and has been more than willing to demonstrate his fight ing ability ever since he arrived, which has made it necessary for a club member to accompany Rondo upon all of his jaunts. WAR WORK PLEDGES SHORT Only 73 per cent of the United War Work pledges made on the campus have been paid, said Dr. A. E. Caswell, chair man of the drive for the University, The sum of $541)8.25 was pledged, and only $3995.25 has been paid. The pledges which are as yet unpaid are divided among the different sections, faculty, $144.50; women, $200; and men, $1150. Many of the men were in the >S. A. T. C. and as they are no longer in school it is impossible to collect their pledges, said Dr. Caswell.
