New buildings qre springing up bij-fje campus, and a larger arid more complete teaching staff has been pro tmnf? Courses of study have been am plified*, better laboratory equipment is rip fihhd, while indications point to the lllffflt eprplltnent in the history of the TTriivjersity. The voters of the state provided the money for the building pro ^iri’ Which will glic our college a group of buildings compared to those of any western university. Faculty and stu dents alike are filled with ambition to our University one of the greatest, possible the greatest, in the coun try* - . -''*,Htith this ini mind, let us not forget to kMp a|ive the spirit of democracy on thfc’cipnfftisl Everi since the University was founded tfcis' democratic spirit has pervaded its social life. It has become onri Of the most cherished traditions of the student body. 1 The ttjrire mention of the Oregon spirit kindles the eves of the old students, puts. More pep into them, and creates a pro fOliftd feeling of collegiate patriotism. As a great wave is made up of many drops of Water, so is “Oregon Spirit.” com posed of the individual loyalty of the many student*, •’'•'BWte," is the spoken symbol of the dritttodratic spirit. This greeting be HfeeOti students is certainly better than ISlie'cutfcofy glance, the glassy stare, the hfyof hnnoby, or the curt nod. Accord - {rig tp drillege traditions "hello” is to be exchanged between all students at all tiinrii when meeting on the campus or ip theidowntown district. The larger the enrollment of stu dent ri, the more danger that this spirit dfl democracy will gradually disappear. Thritri is danger that groups may become so 'engrossed in themselves and their own-plans and pleasures that they will Vo*0 their sense of fellowship with the Other students. .Such a stab' of affairs would quickly result in the mss of pub lib confidence, for the voters of the state 'eitrect. and even demand, that the dem O&u'fip spirit he maintained on the cam pfos." We cannot, must not, and will not fall to maintain this spirit. A great iriany people rvre doing a rush ing business these days. START NOW. Registration, combined with rush week, generally leaves one with a feel-i iug of bewilderment, and a feeling of lassitude towards work. But the first week often shapes future college career of a student, and old students must be careful to impress upon their fellows that real work is to follow during the year. Monday and Tuesday of this week were given over to registration, and today the majority of the students, new and old. should have completed their matricula tion. Today regular University work be gins, and classes will be held for the first time. It is just as important to attend classes on the opening day as to register, if one wishes to get properly started on the year’s work. The time for loafing has passed; the time for real work is here. One thing which must be remembered is the goal which you are seeking in col lege. You are here for an education — not a degree. A degree is not always the reward of honest study, hut an education always is. Your pleasures and ambi tions must be subsurvient to the higher goal. Start, today and work honestly and diligently towards the goal of a real edu cation. The friendly co-operation existing be tween the citizens of Eugene and the University is a matter of great pride to , Oregon students. This year, with a seri ous hoavsing problem confronting the University, Eugene citizens opened their homes to accommodate the influx, so that the young people of the state might con tinue their education. Much credit is due the campus Chris tian organizations for the directing of new Rtudents to the campus from the trains, and for assisting them to obfcaiD rooms' and wwk for the year. The stu dent who took the College Crest car to the campus this year is yet to he heard from. It may be because of the H. C. of L.. but it is very noticeable that junior cords are very much in evidence about the cam pus, while senior sombreros are seldom seen.. And speaking of sombreros, the little green ones are beginning to ap pear. Ju ?• ‘ t Dr, John Bovard, Dean, Plans "'-'to Strengthen Department With the opening of the University this year, the school of physical education taltes its rank with the major depart ments os the campus. tkt. John F. Bovard has been placed at the head of the physical education department, and us it’s dean is planning 0|e extension of the .work in many fields. ■ Thf ; apian as announced is to bnlurge the scope of the physical education de partmeat so that it includes what is practically equivalent to a normal course men. It is planned to prepare stu dents tor positions as physieal educators throughout the country. “Due to the laws in eight, states re quiting physical education in the high tSwpols, there has been a tremendous de menti foil physical trainers,” said ]>r. fth'tird. ' “Bfejv York State alone, has placed 8.000 men, with the result that there has been n shortage of men to eu MrC iu this work.” ^ The physical education major, which is opifn tb’ttll students irrespective of class, offers either a B. A. or A. B. degree. It provides for basic work iu such sub jects as personal hygene, biology and anatomy. l>r.

Mr. ftoUer is an athlete of considerable re pute. having played upou the “ull-east erh” 'basketball team. 80 far there have been two kinds of freshmen seen on the campus. They are the green and the bright green. The parildoiicnl part of it Is that the plain green are usually conceded to be brighter than the •••bright” green.

Frosh Darkhorse To Fill Ballot in Friday's Elections 'Strange as it may seem, the freshman jolitieal pot fails to boil. However, prospects point to a lively time this af ternoon at the first great get-together of the knights of the green cap. To date no names have been mention ed for the high honor of chief water Htrrier, but of course office seekers are seeping in the background until the neeting Friday. Then they will trot forth with all their high school valor and we green horse will walk away with :he honor. All upper classmen are much interest ed in the Frosh voting riot, the Sopho aiores lnfring gone so far in their en thusiasm as to promise a reception or something to the winner. Returning Y. W. Secretary Lauds American Women Miss Tirza Dinsdale Back Af ter Year and a Half War Work Done in Italy “My strongest impression on getting lome to the United States and back to the Oregon campus,” said iMiss Tirza Dinsdale Y. W. C. A. secretary, “is of the self-reliance and executive ability of >ur girls, and of our material wealth and ibumdance of opportunity.” Miss Dins lale declares that one of her main rea sons in wanting to return to the Y. W. 0. A. work at Oregon was to help give the girls an idea of the opportunity for eadership that is now open to American vomen because they have native ability n the direction of executive work, and jeeause their training in school and in the business world develops this gift. The contrast between a cabinet meet ng of the University Y. W. C. A. and the attitude of a group of Italian college girls is most striking, says Miss Dinsdale. i5he spent the last six months of her rear and a half stay abroad working nu the housing and social problems that lave arisen since the Italian women lave started attending universities and lave gone into business. There, as else where, during the war it was necessary for women to work outside the home ind the problems that grew out of this 'ondition were so well recognized, that the lltalian government asked the Amer can Y. W. <■. A. to help them. The num >er of college women is as yet very ■umll. At the university of Naples out >f seven thousand students, only three hundred twentv-ono were women. The prejudice against women in business is great, and a giirl lowers herself socially when she goes into office work. At the universities, says Miss l)ins late, there was no social life or groups if girls working together. The I. W. C. A. organized dubs at the schools and among the business women. These women who are going out iuto the world there are lenders, declares Miss Dinsdale, and they are very anxious to become efficient and independent and they are looking toward the American girl for their example. The American Y. IV. C- A. now has six centers in Italy from which they work. There are M nations who have Y. IV. A. organizations, with head quarters in London. The work of the American Y. IV. in France during the war was so effective that the Italian government asked their help iu solving its ufter-the-war problems in connection with women in industry and schools. During the first six months of her stay abroad Miss Dinsdale was stationed it Brest, where the Y. IV. f. A. had en tire responsibility for taking care of the war brides of American soldiers returni ng home. About two thousand passed through the camp. Miss Dinsdale de clares, and the problems -arising in con nection with housing them properly, getting their passports, and taking care of them in general, were so many and so varied that they could not be enu merated. They gave dances, to which the husbands were invited, hud moving pictures, and conducted classes in Ung lish. The problem of taking care of the war brides was one of the unex pected phases of the war, says Miss Dinsdale, and one for which no provi sion bail been made by the military au thorities. IVhen the time came for the soldiers to return the problem immedi ately came to the front, and it was through the V. IV. C. A. it was success fu-llv dealt with. ___S_ NEW INSTRUCTOR HERE William Michael to Succeed Processor Robert W. Prescott.
