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.”

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.

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. Senator Slater, father of

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.
