OLD OREGON SPIRIT.
tVibarti of a KJ^-egitor Oregon is com
ing,true. 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.

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. Bovard has combined
Jttihi his department the governmental
^•ork of the department of hygiene.
T>{\ Bertha Stuart Dynjent has been
engaged by the department and will act
as Women’s medical adviser. .She will
also have charge of several physical edu
cation'classes.
B. Bohler, of Fairmont, West Vir
ginia, has becu euguged to instruct men’s
Classes on the gymnasium floor. 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.

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

seeping in the background until the

forth with all their high school valor and

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.
