Speaker Widely Recognized
J. Stitt Wilson comes to the campus
as one of the most highly recognized
of international speakers. From every
locality where he has worked and spok
en letters of praise have been received.
David It. Porter, national Y. M. C. A.
secretary and one of the most prom
inent men in the work in the United
States, has written: “ I have been glad
to know that J. Stitt Wilson should be
recommended to go to the University
of Oregon, for I hml the privilege of
living with him a week and listen
ing to his address's at the Sil War
Student Conference. 1 came away with
the conviction that he is a man with
an unusual message for this particular
hour. The cliie impression of his mes
sage is the evangelistic challenge, that
is, constantly challenging men to give
their lives to the service of Christ. I
have no hesitation in saying you will
lie extremely fortunate if you are able
to get him to visit the university.”
Sociologist Endorses Him
A letter received from Charles 111
wood, professor of sociology in the uni
vesity of Missouri, says, “Permit me
to say that the visit of Mr. ,1. Htitt
Wilson at the University of Missouri
accomplished a great deal of good. I
am very glad I hat you are sending Mr.
Wilson to the college and university
people because the burden of his mes
sage is just what I have indicated, that
Christianity must be carried into our
social and political life that we may
realize a Christian democracy.”

Ordnance Man Writes of Admira
tion Won From • Bezdek’s
Crew
“Note the enclosed clipping and
then ask me if I want to come back
“to Oregon,” writes Clarence W.
Salisbury in his questionnaire returned
to Emma Wootton Hall, secretary of
military records. Salisbury was in
attendance at the 1st ordnance class
at the University and enlisted in the
ordnance department in 1917. The
clipping tells its own story.
“Tt was at the Tutwiler hotel in
Birmingham, where the Pittsburg Pi
rates have been stopping. A hand
some and stylish young thing with
that carriage that denotes class that
gives you a thrill, walked through the
lobby, paused and seemed undecided.
“ ‘Gawd, but she’s a peach,’ said
one Pirate to another. ‘I tell you when
it comes to real stuff you can’t beat
these southern girls.’
“ ‘They sure are everything your
little heart, desires,’ answered the
team-mate.
“And then the ‘peach’ walked up
to Hugo Bezdek, held out her dainty
hand and said:
“ ‘t)h Mr. Bezdek, I’ve been look
ing for you and hoped 1 would see
you. Was just going through, you
know, and didn't want to miss you.’
“And as she rolled her eyes and her
15 \s, Bezdek held her hand and smiled
and smiled and talked and talked.
“ When it was over and she had gone
her way, the boys wanted to know
who she was.
“ Must a girl from out in Oregon,’
saiil Bezdek, ‘a student at the uni
versity where 1 coached. She's been
down in Florida and is on her way
back home in Portland. Some girls
out in Portland, take it from me.’ ”
Since his discharge in March Sails
bury has been appointed ns U. S.
stores inspector in the civil service,
and at present is at Hamilton, Ohio.
During his service in the army he was
stationed at San Antonio, Texas, and
at Cincinnati and Hamilton, Ohio. At
the latter place he was helping to
manufacture the 155 mm. French
Howitzer carriage. Be writes that he
hopes to get back to Oregon as soon
as the government is through with
him.

I
COURSE IS LIKELY
Favorable Recommendation From
Major Geromanos Expected
As Result of Visit
The University will have an addi
tional branch of military work in con
nection with the It. O. T. ('. next fall
if the recommendation of Major 11. \Y.
Geromanos of the motor transport
corps headquarters in Washington, D.
U. is approved by the war department.
Major (ieromanos visited the campus
yesterday to confer with the Univer
sity and military authorities upon the
ad\ inability of establishing this branch
of military preparation. He was favor
ably impressed with the institution and
the organization of the 11. O. T. C„
according to t'olonel Baird, command
ant. If the motor corps is established,
10 or 1L‘ large motor trucks will be
another feature of military equipment
on the campus . As the war department
asked the University to put in such a
school and Major Geromanos. who is
at the head of the work of establish
ing the motor corps in colleges and
universities with military organiza
tions found the situation satisfactory
here it is very probable that the Uni
versity will have this branch of work.
Colonel ltaird said yesterday.

lector who has been here for some time
attending to the collection of the fra
ternity and sorority social tax, left to

VAUDEVILLE IS PLANNED
Lively Program Will Be Produced In
• Guild HaU May 29
A vaudeville, the plans for which ■
have been in the making for the past
few weeks, is to go through with the
push of much pent up energy and will
be produced before the department of
dramatic interpretation and invited
guests on May 29th in Guild hall. It
promises to be one of the most
thoroughly lively affairs that has ever
taken place under the auspices of that
department and involves some well
known campus characters in the cast.
The vaudeville itself will last an
hour and a half and the rest of the
evening will be taken up with refresh
ments and a general good time. This
program with its varied numbers will
be a good index to the talent of the
department, and as people have been
chosen to do just what they themselves
think they are most capable of doing
best, the entertainment should prove
a decided success.
Some of those who have been chosen
to take part are, Buth Graham, Patty
French, Lucile Evans, Gretchen Tay
lor, Frances Stiles, Alice Van Schoon
hoven, Margaret Hamlin, Carl Miller,
Claire Keeney, Wilbur Hulin, Jiggs
Leslie and Norvell Tompson. There
are to be others but the entire pro
gram has not been worked out as yet.
The committee in charge states that
the vaudeville will rival the Orpheum
in its originality and says that some
of the acts are worthy of professionals.
