A new men’s organization lias been formed by a number of the men of Friendly Hall in order to assist the University in its present housing crises.

OREGON ENROLLMENT LARGEST IN HISTORY; 1510ALPDY LISTED Incomplete Figures Indicate Big Gain; 330 Ex-Service Men Enter. Already the registration at the University has far surpassed that of any other year, 1510 students having enrolled to date, compared to 1100 at this time last year and 900 at the beginning of the fall of 1917. With more students coming in each day, there is no doubt that the total registration will reach the 1800 mark before the year is over. me increased enrollment tins tall is partly accounted for by the fact | that 330 returned service men have applied to the University for state aid which is being provided them if they wish to take advantage of it. So far, 200 of these applicants have registered for regular work here at the University. Considerable Gains Shown. Although it has been impossible so far to obtain accurate figures on the enrollment in the various departments and schools because of the steady increase of registrants, approximate figures indicate that a majority of them have increased their registra tion by 50 per cent and in some cases have doubled their enrollment. The fine arts department including work in water color, pencil and pen sketching and drawing from life has a total enrollment of 130 students to date compared to 80 for last year,. About three-fourths of the students registered there this fall are fresh men. A gain of 170 registrants over that of last year is indicated in the en rollment of the department of zoo logy and biology. The lack of equip ment and the limited space for work in these departments is holding the registration down. In spite of this fact, 337 students are being accommo dated, 236 of whom are members of the classes in general botany. To take care of the students in general zoology classes, 23 laboratory sec tions during the week have been provided. Other Sciences Attract. Comparative figures for the de partment of chemistry were unob tainable. but according to Professor A. L .Shinn, 50 per cent more stu dents bare registered so far than last year. The enrollment in classes in analytical chemistry, in particular, have made a decided increase, having more than doubled in number. Welcome! Lets Go. The University extends a hearty welcome to old and new stu dents alike. You are here in overwhelming numbers, but you will be safely taken care of if you will be patient with some inconveniences tbe first few days. Everyone^is working hard to adjust the old conditions to the new demands. It is still a time of service, so think of it as a campaign and help indi vidually and collectively, as Oregon has always done, to solve the problems as they arise. The future was never so full of promise for university stud mts as today, nor were their responsibilities for thorough pre paration ever so great. In this new period following the war the country faces many grave problems, in the final solution which the trained men and women from the universities must have a leading part. In their intelligence and patriotism much, of the safety of the future will depend. A new world of op portunity also is opening to those who prepare to take advantage of it. The call to every student is for thorough, conscien tious work from the first day of the session to the last. SCHOOL OF SOCIOLOG) STARTED 00 COMPOS; F.UHG IS DEM Two Consecutive Years of Work To Be Offered; Department To Give Degrees. The department of sociology of the University of Oregon is now far enough advanced to be called a "school” of sociology. The new pro gram along the line of commonwealth development provides for technical instruction of students for work In Portland and in rural districts^ 'The work in rural districts will be taken care of here at the University while a Portland branch of the University of Oregon school of sociology will have charge of the local work in that city. Under this plan effort will not be duplicated. The principal aim of the new so cial program is to raise the vitality of the community and to begin on a peace program of activities. The University of Oregon is regarded as an agent. The northwestern division of the American Red Cross is send ing a nurse to the University who will make a direct study of condi tions in rural districts and who will assisst students who wish to pursue this line of endeavor of common wealth planning. Very little course work will be given, the desire being to afford the students actual train ing in a practical way. . A survey of the comipunities will first be taken so that the Red Cross nurse detailed to this service will1 •have information on which to work. Such problems as those of housing, health and independence of town and country will be studied. The constructive part includes the training of secretaries of the cham ber of commerce, city managers and social engineers for county highways and institutions. Stuart A. Rice, educational direc tor of the northwest division of the Red Cross, has announced the open ing of the Portland branch of the University school of sociology, under the direction of Dr. J. Franklin Thomas. It offers two consecutive! years of work and A.B. and A.M. degrees will be given by the Univer sity to students having the requisite amount of undergraduate preparation. Students will have the opportunity of doing field work and studying ac tual cases. Thus, using the words of Dean F. O. Young of the school of sociology, “these plans are being made so that all agencies such as the chamber of commerce and women’s clubs will be guides toward a scientific devel opment of their respective commun ities.” MISS WATERMAN, NEW MU INSTRUCTOR, aiGANIZlOe TEAMS Women’s Gym Will Have Large Enrollment; Wide Range of Sports Available. Misa Emma P. Waterman of Min neapolis has arrived at the Univer sity as the new member of the fa culty in the Physical Training De partment, succeeding Miss Gladys Gorman, who resigned to take up reconstruction work in Russia. •' ’Misfi "Waterman, who is a gradu ate of the University of Minnesota, class of *17, and of the Hygiene De partment of Wellesley, class of '19, will be in charge of freshman hock ey and tennis and will also do some work with the gym majors. Already 65 girls have signed up for hockey and she has organized four enthus iastic hockey teams with Dorothy Reed as captain of team one; Caro line Cannon, captain of team two; Lucile Elrod, captain of team three, and Ruth Wolf, captain of team four. These teams will play three nights a week on the field near the Junior High school if no other place is available. Swimming Hours Fixed Miss Catherine W’iuslow * will be in charge of the swimming and danc ing classes for the fall term. The pool will be open to the girls on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 2:30 to 5 but no girl who has not taken a physical examination will be permitted to enter. Any girl who has not paid her locker fee will be required to pay a locker fee of 75' cents to cover the cost of laundering the suits and towels. der tlije direction of Miss Harriett Thomson. The number of girls signing up for these two sports has already exceeded the number which may bp accommodated owing to the shortage of equipment. At the pres ent time there are but two canoes but a lew more will be procured as soon is possible to accommodate the 12 girls already signed up. Be tween SO and 75 girls have already signed up for archery but so far the University has been able to pro cure but 5 or 6 bows and no ar rows are available because of delay in shipment from England where they are manufactured. Qreat enthusiasm is displayed by the girls for the out door sports this year and as soon as it is possible to obtain the need ed equipment teams in all the sports will be organized for matches. Miss Cummings Travels Miss Mabel Cummings, who is the head of the physical training de partment, will arrive Saturday from Roseburg where she has been one of the instructors for the Teacher!’ Institute. archery will be un MISS EPPING BRIDE OF HOOD RIVER MAN Graduate of 1918 Class, Formerly Tennis Champion, Married to J.

Will Play First Contest on New Athletic Field on Home coming Date (By Alexander G. Brown) From every angle Oregon starts |he present football season with the hpt»4^pro‘tpects since the memorable .yrriors proved, not only to be the tuSst of the Pacific Coast conference, but also among the strongest, if not the strongest, of the entire United States. This season presents the greatest array of football talent at the very start that the University has ever had. However, the fact that other colleges of the northwest also have old men back makes this sea son one that will call for as much work and as steady practice on the part of the candidates for the Var sity as everbefore. There is no question among those who have fol lowed football closely for the past few years, that the grade of foot ball to be seen this fall will be of the highest order ever offered the gridiron followers of the northwest. Old and New Men in. Old and new men are Joining in the fight for places on the Oregon team, and the competition is bringing out some of the nicest pre-season work that has been seen for several years. Many of the old men Who are back in harness have been play ing football while in the service and are in better condition right now than at any previous time of their career. There is only one speck appearing in the Oregon football horizon, and that is that some of the men who have played on first or second teaqjg for the University in previous years are not out this season. They figure that there 1b no chance for them so are not turning out for when the lomon-yellow * practice. rue more men tnat re port and get In and work the harder it will be for anyone to make his berth and as a result a better grade •f football will be noticed. The Oregon Varsity is out of for the championship of the Pacific Coast and of the United States if such is possible. Press dispatches from Pasadena report that the manage ment of the Tournament of Roses plans to stage an intersectional con test again to decide the supremacy of the country. Stanford.Cancels Game. Oregon had but one game sche duled in the south, with Stanford, but the latter college has seen fit to Join the ranks of contract-jumpers during her first year in the confer ence and has cancelled the Oregon game. There is no doubt that this is the worst step Stanford could pos sibly have taken. Being a new school in the conference she .will be judged by her actions during her first sea son. No other college will feel safe in making a contract with the Cali fornia institution. Work on old Kincaid field is getting the men into shape rapidly. Three full teams were in action last night, and Coach “Shy” Huntington said this morning that he would have the season’s first scrimmage today. Two of the men who are more than prospects for the season are a little late in getting out for work. They are "Bill” Steers, quarterback for the freshmen of 1916 and for the varsity of 1917, who during the last season held down this position on the famous Mare Island Marine team. He is due in today from The Dalles, where he made a short stop on his way back to Eugene from Canada. The other absent member is Baa Williams. Williams has been work (Continued on page 4)
