R.O.T.C, DRILL MANUAL
SOON TO BE DISCARDED
Army Drill Regulations to
Be Submitted
■
Textbooks, known as the E. O. T.
C. drill manual, which have been
in use in the E. O. T. C. depart
ment for the past two years, will
not be used after this term, ac
cording to Captain Frank L. Culin,
executive officer of the E. O. T.
0. department.
Due to recent extensive changes
in drill and classwork, the text
books now in use have become ob
solete. Several eastern book firms,
dealing in improved military text
books, have made offers for sup
plying the text for next year, but
as yet none of the offers have been
accepted.
The plan, states Captain Culin,
is to substitute for the textbooks
by the requisition of a supply of
regular army drill regulations,
which are printed in the form of
pamphlets at the public printing
offices in Washington, D. C. These
pamphlets cover all phases of work
necessary for the training of a sec
ond lieutenant, junior officer of
the line, in the regular army, and
are supplied to all units of the regu"
lar army, the National Guard, and
the E. O. T. C., upon requisition.
As there are approximately 150,000
students engaged in E. O. T. C.
work in the United States, it is
not known if a supply can be ob
tained, but a requisition will be
made during the summer.
“Small consignments of these
pamphlets have been received by
the department at frequent inter
vals, and are now in use in some
phases of the work. Loose-leaf cor
rections have recently been re
ceived for insertion in these pamph
lets, to bring them up to date, and
Sergeant T. E. Powers, of the com
missionary department, is in charge
of the work. The new pamphlets
are profusely illustrated to show
all phases of military work, and
are a distinct improvement over
the old textbooks,” declared Cap
tain Culin.
The pamphlets, If the system is
adopted, will be issued to the stu
dents as each phase of the work
covered by the pamphlet is taken
up. Upon receipt of each of these
the student will be required to pay
a nominal purchase price, varying
from five to twenty-five cents.
Tho number of pamphlets required
to complete each year’s work will
be approximately as follows: fresh
man course, 10; sophomore, 7; jun
ior, 14; and senior, 10; making a
total of 41 pamphlets required for
the four-year course.
ORATORICAL TRYOUTS

An Oregon student will be chosen
to represent the University in the
Tri-State Oratorical contest at the
tryouts to be hold in Villard hall

outs will be sent to Seattle in May
for the biggest northwest oratorical
event of the year.
The tryouts are open to any
undergraduate student in the Uni
versity. Orations, though they may
deal with any subject tho student
is interested in or has had previous
experience with, are limited in
length to 2,000 words. Typewritten
copies will be submitted by all stu
dents competing at the tryouts Sat
urday morning.
Both the delivery and composi
tion of the oration will be consid
ered by the judges at tho tryouts.

Guild Theatre Players
Show “Miss Lulu Bett”
Typical American Drama
(Continued from page one)
with considerable thought by Gor
don Wilson.
Other members of the cast and
their roles are: Beatrice Beebe as
Mother Bett; Florence Couch as
the youngest member of the fam
ily, Minona Deacon; Betty Kerr as
Di Deacon, the would be eloper
whose love affair with the cautious
! Bobby Larkin, played by Walter
, Malcolm, who mows the lawn for
the Deacon’s residence, is some
what doubtful. Ninian Deacon, the
black sheep and finally the dark
horse of the family, is done by
Barney McPhillips. Helga Mc
Grew portrays the wife of Dwight
Deacon with a good deal of under
standing, and Boyd Homewood, as
the slow-thinking, faithfully in
sistent suitor to the hand of Miss
Lulu Bett, Mr. Cornish, gives the
play a characteristic touch.
The play follows tonight’s per
formance with two more evening
showings. Tickets at the Guild
hall box office are 75 cents and 50
cents.
Workers’ Mass Banquet
Will Be Held Tonight
At Woman’s Building
(Continued from page one)
iasm will sweep over the place, out
on to the whole campus! ”
Teams to Be Instructed
Instructions to team workers will
be given at this time, and it is im
perative that everyone be present.
The banquet is the first event in
the intensive three day campaign
which it is hoped will terminate in
the subscription of the $64,000, set
as the goal for this yearr.
Friday noon there will be a
luncheon for all workers in the Wo
man’s building, to report the pro
gress made, and to sraighten out
any difficulties that may have
arisen. A flying squadron will be
organized to persuade the harder
prospects to sign on the dotted
line, or to collect the first install
ment of the pledge signed last
year.
The little white shack has been
placed just over the parking strip
in Kincaid field, and is all ready
for the beginning of the drive.
Those who pledged last year may
obtain tags there, so they will not
be accosted again. This will also
serve to show just how many really
pledged last year, and will be an
added impetus to get everyone on
the campus to wear one of the tags.
The windup banquet for the drive
will be held Saturday night when,
it is hoped, the success of the drive
will be realized.
Two Presentations of
University Orchestra
Program Draw Crowd
(Continued from page one)
and ending by the stringed instru
ments alone.
The solos, by Miss Alberta Pot
ter on the violin and Miss Lora
Teshner on the cello were excellent.
The violin solo was “Hjre Kati”
by Hubay with Moszaowski’s “Gui
tarre” arranged by Sarasate, for
encore. The “Serenade Espagnols”
by Glazounow was lovely with the
light staccato piano accompaniment
combined with the singing melody
of the cello. The other cello num
bers wore “Harlequin” by Popper
and Drigo’s “Serenade” for en
core.
The March from “Sigurd Jorsal
for” by Grieg and the “Serenade”
by Schubert were enjoyed and were
followed by Poldiui’s , “Dancing
PHONE
YELLOW CAB CO
Dolls” in airy effect with flute so
lo accompanied by the orchestra.
The march from “Nutcracker
Suite” by Tschaikowski was in de
lightful light muffled effect. The
last number the popular “Second
Hungarian Rhapsody” by Liszt,
formed a fitting close for an en
joyable evening.
The orchestra leaves Thursday
for the spring trip. Concerts will
be given in both Salem and Port
land in connection with the com
bined glee clubs. A varied and in
teresting program with many new
features has been planned for the
organizations together. They will
be accompanied by. Rex Under
wood as director of the orchestra
and John Stark Evans of the glee
clubs, and James Leake, manager.
Student Union Drive
Will Start Officially
Thursday at Assembly
(Continued from page one)
In that message, as applicable to
day as it was last year, he said:
“Thpre has been a flood of students
entering the colleges, and universit
ies. Everywhere they |are being
overwhelmed. The great question
is what you can honestly do for
these students who are coming to
these institutions. A college edu
cation doubles easing capacity, it
gives social distinction, it gives
political power, it gives everything
that a father and mother have been
hoping for. The student has been
making his plans and preparation
and then t#e institution was not
able to do him justice and simply
treated him as an unknown unit
in a great mass, and failed him out,
dashing his hopes.
Speakers are Selected
“Already the number of the fac
ulty is too small for the number of
the student body. We are in that
way considerably below the aver
age of the greater institutions of
the country. Only one thing to do
is to make your preparation so that
you may retain the old virtues of
