R.O.T.C. FUNS Questionaires On Advance Military Sent Out 24 HOURS CREDIT GIVEN Course Includes Six Weeks At Summer Camp Letters setting forth the advant ages of advanced work in the R. O. T. C. to be given by the local department next year, and ques tion aires for the purpose of ob taining information as to the inter est in advanced military work, are being sent out by the military de partment to a number of qualified students now enrolled in sophomore military classes. "We are very desirous of giving the properly qualified men a chance to take this course, and it is also an opportunity for those men to render a distinct service,” said Captain Frank L. Ciilin, executive officer of the R. O. T. 0. depart ment. “There is nothing of mili tarism in this plan of development of military loaders, the purpose be ing primarily to develop a sound system of defense to insure nation al safety in time of danger. Tn addition, it broadens a man’s edu cation, and carries with it a sub stantial financial remuneration.” Students Receive Pay The purpose of the questionaires is also to obtain advance informa tion for use in scheduling hours for military instruction next year, in order that the hours may be ar ranged to more conveniently coin cide with regular curricula. Points of interest set forth in the outline of the advanced course are as follows: 24 University credits are granted, three each torm and j six for one summer camp; federal pay, amounting to $205.80, with an allowance of $36 for a uniform; free transportation to and from the summer camp, and, a thorough course in military instruction. The time required to complete the course embraces five hours per , week during six college terms, and one summer camp, not to exceed six weeks in length. The closing date of the camp has always been snch as to leave a little more than such as to leave college men a lit tle'more than two months of their vacation period, for pleasure or Work, as the case may be. Reserve Commission Given At the completion of this course the student is qualified for a re serve commission as a second lieu tenant in the United States army, for a period of five years. “It is early to judge the results,” said Captain Culin, “but indica tions are that there is a favorable attitude being shown toward this work, and we hope that the re sponse to these inquiries will be large. A large enrollment in ad vanced military courses carries weight with the inspection board from Washington, D. C., which will inspect this unit next year.” Krrk Enters Race for Emerald Post; Four Candidates are Added (Continued from page one) of the class of 1926 but was not in school last year, spending that time on a trip to the Hawaiian Islands and Central America.

STUDENTS WILL BALLOT Plan Approved by Regents And Both Councils The proposed amendment to the constitution introducing a new managerial system has been unani mously approved by the executive council, the student council and the board of regents. It will now come up for student vote at the elec tions, May 13. The system proposes a senior manager of sports, forensics and music respectively to work in con junction with the graduate man ager. Each fourth year man is to have three juniors under him as as sistants. Under their supervision the first year men will work doing the actual manual labor connected with the sports. This plan will provide an outlet for men who do not want to get into poli tics but still wish to be in campus activities. It will also provide bet ter trained men who will know the fundamentals of the various activ ities. 1S5AN’ TELLS STMT OF ORIENTAL PERSIANS Author’s Inspiration Said To Poesy of Orient Those who at some time or other, have read the old stories in “The Arabian Nights,” and found them dull, uninteresting and childishly unimaginative, will also be disap pointed in the dramatic students’ production of “Hassanj” for the play is one more of those tales of Persia born of the old “Thousand •and One Nights.” The author of the play, James El roy Flecker, whose success upset London’s dramatic circles eleven years after his death, was the vic tim of a sad and distressful life, most of it being spent in a vain search for health in the British consular service in the Near East. At Smyrna, and later on at Bey rout, being a poet and having writ ten considerable verse, he became fascinated by the old Eastern myths. Aspiring to the profession of playwriting, he chose the rythj mical poesy of the Orient and the result was “Hassan.” Charles 'Henry Meltzer in his criticism of the play in “Theatre” magazine says, “No one with the least sense of beauty could deny the loveliness of Hassan’s rhapso dies.” An unusual feature of the play “Hassan” is that through the plot of the story, the lines are so writ ten that the character of the hero of the play is changed at eaae (perhaps due to the authors limited knowledge of dramatic interest in playwriting) from first, Hassan, the confectioner of Bagdad, to the role of Rafi, the leader of*the un faithful. This dearrangement has been found disconcerting by New York critics but the tremenduous tragedy in the story does away with the awkward evidence of the error. “Hassan,” which is now under A GOOD SIGN TO GO BUY UNEEDA PRESSING CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. W.

TEXTILE DESIGNS SHIPPED TO EXHIBIT AT NEW YORK A number* of textile designs were shipped back to the American Art Alliance exhibit held in New York City, by members of this year’s and last year’s freshman classes in tex tile work, under the direction of Miss Maud Kerns. This exhibit is the only one of its kind in which the designer and the commercial ists can discuss and view eaeh other’s work. A splendid collec tion was sent to represent the Uni versity of Oregon Normal Art school. GRADUATES RECEIVE WORK IN GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT The board of regents of the Uni versity has approved Ed Cox as teaching fellow in the geology de partment for next year, and Don Frazier for graduate assistant in the sajpe department. Stately Campus Trees Stand As Memories of Former Days at Oregon (Continued from page one) ed until 1900. Professor Condon, the veteran instructor in geology, PATRONIZE EMERALD ADVERTISERS conceived the idea, and obtained the first tree, an English laurel. It is still growing sturdily, and may be seen by the stroller near the west walk leading from Deady to Villard hall. The next year, in continuance of the tradition established, the class ■ left a Japanese cedar. Although still alive, the tree was injured by the extreme cold weather of last winter. A California Big tree commemor ates the “big” class of 1880, which had 20 : members, certainly small compared to 1925, but the largest to graduate for nearly 15 years. The tree has yet to grow up to its name, but the class has made its influence felt throughout the entire Northwest, and was truly a “big” class. A series of misfortunes prevented the class of 1882 from leaving a tree. Early in the last year at col lege, they set out a mountain hem [lock, which soon died, and another tree was planted. This also lived but a short time, and the seniors were discussing another planting when a leading member of the class took suddenly ill and died. All idea of a tree was given up, pre sumably on account of the triple | misfortune. The ’83 tree grew from a tiny slip taken from the famous elm at Washington’s tomb at Mount Vernon.

C. Woodcock, a prominent law yer of Eugene, and one of Oregon’s irdent supporters, wras graduated n ’83. The graduates of ’85 were the iast ones to receive their diplomas in Deady hall. Their tree is just west of the California Big tree of ’8Q, beside the roadway. In 1886, like the growth of the trees, came the realization of a greater University, with branches extending in all directions. Yillard hall was completed in that year, and the class left a fir as their contribu tion. From then on until 1900 most of the classes leaving Oregon each planted their tree to add to the beauty of our campus. These ar boreal witnesses of their loyalty still remain, long after the classes have gone, as a constant reminder to us of the trust handed down by each succeeding class to the one following after it.
