Oregon spirit demands the presence of every Oregon man im tonight's rally. It is the- first albUniversity rally to be held this year, proceeding the first conference football game Of the season. Every man will be out. * University women, as a rule loyal to the University, have for this once, slipped up. Two women’s organizations have j^theduied matinee dances for this afternoon, which are plan hjHf to continue from some early hour in the afternoon until mne,tonight. Some thirty or forty men will thus be deprived Of attending the rally. Oregon spirit has slipped up in this instance. No dances were allowed to be scheduled for tonight, but these two or ganizations were -giyen permission to arrange matinee d$hees. Presumably, the members of the organizations did pot realize that a rally woidd be held tonight, and arranged to continue their dance until as late as University regulations allow' But it is not, top late for these organizations to still re deem themselves They would probably find that their guests would, be better pleased if they were allowed to leave the diuice in time to don old clothes so that they might participate iii the rally, which leaves the library at seven sharp The girls taemselves would bo able to follow the rally and imbibe a lit tlft Oregon spirit themselves Indeed, it would be a true ex ninble of Oregon spirit if the two women’s organizations agree to end their dances at an early hour so that every n&4pi iu the University would he able jto take part in the rally. No Oregon man has ever failed to turn out to a football tally if it was at all possible for him to he there. A live rally before a football game is one of Oregon’s traditions. Tonight the rally will end. at the Armory, where a night of enjoyment Is promised hv the campus Christian organizations! Remember: It starts from the library at seven sharp. Attendance at assembly yesterday morning was truly rep lasentative of the University of Oregon. The citizens of this commonwealtli cannot fail to be impressed with the fact that the students of this institution realize their responsibility to the state of Oregon. Oregon prepares men and women to take thjjBir place in active and helpful community life. Attendance at Pledge day assembly shows that Oregon students realize this. *---★ Announcements All men either entirely nr partially self-snupporting. are requested to meet at the “Y” hut Tuesday at 4:.‘i0 to or ganize a flub for the men working their way through school.

American Spirit Is Reborn During War (Continued from Page 1) shoulders the American spirit of citizen ship staggered on in a condition that was tragic to behold, he went on, and at the beginning of the^var the effects of such a condition became noticeable. Men who were of other countries, and who had come to the United States to better their fortunes, began quietly to stop the pro cesses of their naturalization so that they would bn able to evade the draft. All, according to Dr. Gilbert, because of the failure to grasp the principals of true citizenship. War Arouses Spirit. It was then that the true American* spirit was aroused. Men who had sons in the fighting lines in France, people who had friends in the service—all be came united in their efforts to bring the war to a hasty conclusion. In those ef forts arose that consciousness of the exalted spirit, of citizenship that Rev erend Gilbert says courses * strong through the heart of the great mass of Americans today. For those who, by their own inactivity and by their attempts to escape public duties, worked towards the defeat of the measures outlined by the war department towards bringing the struggle to a hasty conclusion, the prisons of the country began to open, j People in general, who were keenly alive j to the need of silencing such obstruction- j ists, then began to take heart and soon! last themselves in the performance of the labors demanded of them. It was this teamwork that brought to America j again, according to Dr. Gilbert, that; spirit of citizenship that had been lost for many years. Spirit Should Remain. Never again, he continued, should this spirit be lost, the young people of the country, the state, and of the Univer sity should hold fast to that which was rescued during the time of battle, and should keep it alive and burning for all time. The pledge that was given the people of the state, to return good meas ure for all the advantages of collegiate ! training received, was a part, of the alleg iance that is expected from all. “To pledge anew our nlleganeo is easy if you. and I, and all of us, have it in us to die for our country.” he concluded. At the end of the address he was given a most enthusiastic applause. Governor Reads Pledge. Governor Ben W. Olcott, who was in- j trodneed by President I’. I.. Campbell after a short history of the conception of the pledge nud the pledge day services, read that promise aloud while the student body stood to receive it. Particularly positive was the governor that the students of Oregon would ever do as they promised the state. The many j manifestations of Oregon spirit on the I fields of athletic prowress, in the class rooms, on the campus and among the graduates, went to show, lie said, that the students believed in the University. That, he acknowledged, answered the I Idaho Men Arrive In Eugene Today (Continued from Page D probably do the punting when “P>ill” is not in the line-up.
