OFFICIALS DISCUSS HATES
BENEFIEL KEEPS QUESTION OF
FARES BEFORE RAILWAYS
Homecoming Travel Charges Depend on
Tacoma Conference; All North
West Schools Affected
Whether or not Oregon alumni will
get “rates” on the railroads when they
attend Homecoming, November 19, will
probably be known today, according to
a statement made by Jack Benefiel,
graduate manager. He reports that a
conference \pf railroad officials was
held in Tacoma yesterday to discuss this
question of whether or not the colleges
of the Northwest would be favored by
“homecoming rates.”
Graduate manager Benefiel has been
one of the most consistant workers to
get the measure through of any of the
Northwest managers. He has had the
case reopened several times, despite the
fact that it has been turned down a
number of times. The most recent
reopening was on the contention that
recent cut rates had been granted
county fairs and other celebrations in
this section and that the University
celebration should be considered as well
as other types of get-together meet
ings.
Local workers are hopeful that the
measure will be successful.
GIRLS TO INITIATE TODAY
Theta Sigma Phi Will Take in Four
Neophytes and Give Banquet
Theta Bigina Phi, woman ’s honorary
journalism fraternity, will initiate four
new members this evening. The girls
being taken into the fraternity are
Lenore Cram, Inez King, Margaret
Bcott, and Jessie Thompson. Following
initiation a banquet will be held at the
Osburn hotel, at which will be present
a number of alumnae as well as the
active members.
Members on the campus are: Ruth
Austin, Lyle Bryson, Annamay Broil
augli, Mary Lou Burton, Helen Dough
erty, Wanna McKinney, Velma Rupert,
Dorris Bikes, Joan Strachan.
ARMY OFFICER ON LEAVE
IS STUDENT AT OREGON
Lieutenant Tow Ordered Here Under
New Educational Policy of
War Department
Under orders from the war depart- j
meat, First Lieutenant William Tow,
formerly of the Vancouver barracks, j
is here at the University, taking a
course in social science. Lieutenant
Tow was commanding officer of Com
pany I Of the old 32nd Infantry which
has now become a part of the 59th in
fantry, stationed at Vancouver.
Lieutenant Tow’s orders to report at
the University of Oregon for university
work are in accordance with the war
department's new policy of sending a
certain percentage of the personnel of
the regular army to educational insti
tutions to receive training in specified
courses. This new policy has grown out
of the theory that future wars, if
there are any, will be fought not by pro
fessional army men only, but by whole
peoples, as was true of the last war. {
Routine army training is no longer
considered adequate, and regular army

COURSES IN “Y” SCHOOL
WILL BEGIN MONDAY
Oregon Plan Spreads Eastward; Credit
May Possibly Be Given Students
Work To Last Eight Weeks
Courses in the “Y” school, which was
started on the campus last year, will be
taken up Monday. It is the policy this
year to have fewer courses but to di
vide the men up into smaller discussion
groups.
The plan has spread from Oregon to
several of the eastern colleges by means
of summer conferences this year, and
according to those in charge of it here
the registration is expected to be heavier
than before. A new plan is being
adopted of having the students act
as the leaders.
If the registration is good and the
type of work up to the standards of
the regular college classes there is A'
possibility that the faculty may grant
credit, said a representative of the Y.
M. C. A. yesterday.
Some of the courses are: “Student
Standards of Action,” especially for
freshmen; “The Manhood of the Mas
ter,” “Social Principles of Jesus,” and
“Masterpieces of Biblical Literature,”
which is given by Bev. Bruce J. Gif
fen. A course in “Boys’ Work” is
being offered by the downtown Y. M.
C. A. in which a number of college men
will probably sign up.
The hours of the courses are during
the week and it would be possible for a
student to carry any one of them along
with his regular classwork. The school
is to run for eight weeks.
