U.T.C.M FACES ATTACK Prominent People Approve Condemnation Pamphlet Written by New York man Compulsory Training Said Not to be Official Act of Federal Government Compulsory military training in colleges and universities, against ■which groups of students all bvcr the United States have openly re belled is condemned in a pamphlet recommended and signed recently by 58 representative statesmen, ed ucators, churchmen, editors, social workefs, and prominent men and women, including Jane Adams, Sen ator William E. Borah, Carrie Chap man Catt, Zona Gale, Senator Rob ert M. LaEollette, Jr., Rabbi Ste phen 8. Wise, and Oswald Garrison Villard. The attack was written by Win throp I). Lane, of New York city, and is aimed at military education in high schools and especially itB compulsory feature in colleges. Mil itary drill, says Mr. Lane, is not good training in citizenship and physical culture, as is so often claimed, and is regarded by many educators as productive of narrow ing results, and the incubation of the idea that war is a necessary and inevitable guarantee of the se curity of countries, as well as tor menting in future citizens the dis trust of other nations. University to Vote The attention of the United States was called to the subject of compulsory military education by the action of Sidney E. Mezes, pres ident of the College of the City of New York, in forbidding any dis cussion among the students on train ing in military tactics. One of the results of this ruling is the poll to be taken January 21 at Ohio State University to determine if the stu dents there want military education offered as a course of study. “The atmosphere of military train ing,” declares the foreward by the group, commending th<| pamphlet, “is not the atmosphere for the fin est, the most thoughtful work along any lino requiring independent thinking. Higher education ought to exist for the encouragement of independent thinking.” Continu ing, it says: Faces Attack “Science, art, and culture are not and cannot bo purely national. All lorrming is witness to the truth that ‘above all is humanity.’ “Colleges and universities, there fore, are peculiarly inappropirnte fields for military tanning and for the intrusive presence of a military bueraucracy. We Americans would have said this of any country of the world. There is no virtuo or our own which makes us immune to a militarism which has played so fatal a role in Europe.” In explaining “Why This l’amph REPAIRS AND CHANGES IDE DURING HOLIDAYS Professor Zane’s Studio in Old Press Room Advantage was taken of the re spite from the rush of school ef fered by the winter vacation to make a number of necessary repairs and alterations about the campus. The biggest change was made in the ohl press building annex which has been remodeled for a studio for Prof. N. B. Zone, of the arts de partment. The large rooms which were used for correspondence rooms and for Professor Turn-bull’s office in the journalism building have been cut up into several office rooms and correspondence rooms. The large room on the second floor of the same building has been divided in to several small rooms which will be occupied by members of the edi torial staff of the Oregon Daily Emerald. The woman’s outdoor gym has been wired so that women may now play basketball at night. New lights have also been installed in the law library. The stage of the Univer sity high school has been remodeled and the mezzine floor of the bac teriology laboratory lias been al tered and rewired. I ’ ■ ' mi !? \ DEAN SPEAKS AT OOBVAIilB E. 0.

It has registered oppo sition to the idea of universal com pulsory military training, but up on the present near-substitute it has not spoken. Congress, under the emotion of a great European war, put into effect the National De fense Act, and in so doing author ized the President of the United States to introduce military train ing into civil educational institu tions; the War Department is now showing what this may mean, but the general public has hardly known what was going on.” Not Officially Required The federal government, says Mr. Lane, does not officially acquire any school to make the military train ing that it offers compulsory on in dividual students. A few state leg islatures, he declares, have passed laws requiring military training at some schools within those states, bul most of the rulings for com pulsory drill have come from the governing bodies of the schools and colleges.

This new ruling has been adopted by universities and colleges through out the United States. The Oregon varsity and fresh man swimming team held their first earnest workout last night. Last term the swimmers spent some time in the tank but the majority was spent on the tumbling mat in preliminary training. Tonight the varsity and freshmen will hold practice in the woman’s tank at 7 o’clock. Practice will be held in this tank twice a week at that hour. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday will find the acquatic aspirants in the men’s tank at 5 o’clock. At a meeting of several of the swimming coaches of northwest schools, they adopted practically the same new rulings and list of events as the New England Inter collegiate Swimming Association with the exception of the substitu tion of the 220-yard dash in place of the 440. They also adopted the 150-yard medley relay in which each competitor swims 50 yards back stroke, 50 yards breast stroke and 50 yards free style. The following are the list of events which will be used by the Oregon varsity and freshman. These have been adopted as the best set to insure an all-around swimming team. Events: 50-yard free style, 150-yard backstroke, 220-yard free style, fancy diving, 100-yard free yard medley, relay of four men swimming 50-vards each.' Some radical changes have been made in the rules for scoring dives. The new method adopted gives the audience the points scored by the performer at the conclusion of his attempts. The rule calls for a ref eree of the diving stands and two judges. The start has been changed to some extent. The swimmer must stand on the edge of the pool and lean out wer the water. Only two signals are given, “Get on your mark,” and the pistol shot. It was at first thought that this new rul ing would make slower time but since its invocation tw*o records have been broken.
