WOMAN’S LEAGUE MEETING
At the last meeting of the Woman’s
League loss than one fourth of the
women of the student body turned out.
At this meeting offieors were elected
for next year and other business of im
portance came up for discussion.
Inasmuch as every woman in the Uni
versity is a member of the Woman’s
League, and this organization is the
largest women’s club, not only on the
campus, but in the state of Oregon, it
should receive far better support than
the figures for the lust meeting show.
Meetings are not held often enough
to become burdensome, and are not of
excessive length so there is no reason
why the women should not attend. In
order to keep up with events and af
fairs of general interest to students and
to women especially, the Woman’s
League meeting should get a full at j
tendance.
The reason for this apparent lack of
interest on the part of the women
students of the University of Oregon
is not easily understood. The last
meeting was widely announced, so
there really seems very little excuse for
the situation. The fact is that !
Woman’s League id one of the many
opportunities on the campus for Uni
versitv women to take active part in
the affairs of our University. And
since our new Woman’s building is to
be built for the women of the Univer
sity of Oregon, it is rather Up to them \
to prove that they are interested in
women’s affairs.

CHILDREN TO ACT IN
SIMMER FANTASY
Background of Rose Hedges Will
Frame Dancing
Exhibition
What could be more picturesque than
a rose hedge background for a “Sum
mer Fantasy?’’ Just such a back
ground will form the setting for the
elaborate dancing exhibition of Miss
Catherine Winslow’s elementary and
advanced classes on Friday, June 0—
or it may be June 7, for who knows if
it may rain on Friday says Miss Win
slow, and fairies, shepherds, clowns and
goddesses were never known to dance
in the rain. >So if it rains the program
will be kept high and dry until Satur
day tiight.
“The Fairy Bush,” an Irish legend
story will form the first part of the
program. Twelve fairies and twenty
four peasant boys and girls from the
elementary class besides some little
faculty children who will take the part
of leprechauns will form the cast. ,A
great deal of pantomime will enter into
the dance so that it will be easy to
follow the dramatic plot.
“In a Garden”
The second part is called “In a Gar
den” and will be composed of the fol
lowing numbers.
“Diana” . Maud Lombard
“Polka Fantastic” . Maud Lom
bard, Melba Williams.
“The Shepherd” . Marion Coffey,
Jeannette Moss, Leila Marsh,
Virginia Halos, Melba Williams.
“Bus6tto and the Clowns” .Luceil
Morrow, Virginia Hales, Leila
Marsh.
“Rondez Vous” . Luceil Morrow,
Melba Williams.
“Grecian Frieze” . Eight girls
Accomodations are being arranged
for 1200 people to witness the affair.
“It is undoubtedly the most elaborate
demonstration that has ever been stag
ed at the University,” said Miss Mabel
Cummings, head of the department of
Physical Training, “and it is expected
that at least a thousand people will
turn out to see it. ’ ’
Working Out Costumes
Era Godfrey and her committee are
working out an elaborate costuming
scheme which will add greatly to the
picturosqueness of the affair. “Every
costume will receive the most careful
attention,” declared Miss Godfrey, “in
order that the dances may be more
effective.”
With only two weeks left to perfect
the program, the dancing classes are
working double time. Evening prac
tices will be held all next week accord
ing to Miss) Winslow, besides the reg
ular daily work.

42nd DIVISION MAN VISITS
Changes Mind About Medical Profes
sion After Service In Hospital Unit
_
William Silverthorn, of l^aGrande,
| Who was a member of the 167th hos
l pital unit with the 42rl (Rainbow) di
vision overseas, is on the campus to
day, visiting Harold Newton at the
I Delta Tau Delta house. Silverthorn
had the study of medicine in mind until
he went overseas and had his hospital
experience with the men shattered by
Frit/.’s engines of destruction. He
has now changed his mind, he says, and
; will take up journalism or some other
less disagreeable profession.
Silverthorn was in every big drive
i the Americans put through with the ex
; ception of that in Belgium. He was
with the army of occupation in Ger
| many until discharged, about a month
ago. He reports the Germans in the
j Coblenz region as very hospitable to the
Americans—"even more so than the
French." He is not quite sure, how
ever, that this hospitality was genuine.
Silverthorne came 'through without a
scratch, although exposed to danger on
many occasions in his work at the field
hospital.
Silverthorne is a graduate of the La
Grande high school of the class of ’17.
lie would have entered the University
last fall had he not enlisted in the ser
vice. However, he intends to enter the
University later.
TEACHERS AT CONVENTION
Miss Tingle and Miss Shumway Attend
Home Economics Meetings
Miss Lilian Tingle and Miss Antoi
nette Shumway, of the home econom
ocs department, were in Portland on
Saturday to attend the sessions of the
annual Oregon home economics asso
ciation. In addition to the state
representatives, several federal and
other delegates were present and gave
interesting discussions, according to
Miss Tingle.
Miss Tingle went up to Portland be
fore the association met and visited
several of the Portland schools and had
conferences with teachers there. Miss
Shumway went up for the association
meetings.
The entertainments tor the visitors
were delightful, Miss Tingle said, in
cluding a luncheon and dinner, and a
breakfast at Eagle Creek on the Co
lumbia highway on Sunday morning.
This last was given by some of the
Portland home economics teachers.
Miss Margaret Morris, nurse at the
University infirmary, gave a special
lecture to one of Miss Tingle's classes
on Friday during her absence.
Vaudeville Not to be Given
The vaudeville which was to have
been given by the students in dramatic i
interpretation for the department and i
guests on the evening of May 29th, has
been called off and will probably not
be given this year. Owing to the con
flict of dates and the short space of
time left in which to prepare a pro
gram ns pretentious as the one planned
it was thought best to leave the under
tailing to a date sometime towards tho
beginning of the fall term.

duly 1. Miss Brown has just returned

BATTLE AREA SNAPS
Oregon Man in Germany Takes
Pictures of War-Torn
Country
In a letter to his sister, Miss Nellie
McClure, reeeivedr yesterday, Captain
Walter R. McClure, now with the Army
of Occupation in Germany states that
he has just returned from a trip
through the battle areas taking pic
tures. In the letter he also included
about 15 snaps, most of them taken by
him during the first part of October,
which show the fighting areas as they
appeared during the fighting.
“I had a wondeful time taking pic
tures of the old battle fields,” he
writes. ‘‘I had a big camera but none
of the pictures are developed as yet.
I qm sending you a few snaps I took
with my own little camera.”
‘ ‘ I am in command of the battalion
and have it ea^y. We are in the sup
port position. Its rainy but we have
some good books so time doesn’t pass
so slow.
‘ ‘ The peace terms haven’t been an
nounced yet, and we expect to have to
sit on the Huns pretty hard when they
are, but won’t have any trouble.
‘ ‘ The spring is very backward, no
trees are in bloom and few leaves are
out.
*‘ There are lots of rumors out that
we leave for the United States in June.
I doubt this, but really think we will
be home before October, and surely
hope so. I ’ll be home as soon after
that as I can, but probably can’t stay
more than a week or two. I am afraid
all the good lies will be told before I
get home.
‘ ‘ I hear we go to Fort Dodge in Iowa
or the middle west when we reach the
U. S. I don’t like that but anywhere
in the United States is good enough. I
still have hopes of my majority before
I leave Germany, however I’ve been
disappointed before.”
