ROTC Artillery Instruction Is Possibility at Oregon Colonel Murphy Believes t By LYLE NELSON When Oregon and Oregon State meet for their first annual Gover nor’s day competition here May 25, there will be three Oregon State units, the artillery, engineers and infantry, as compared with only one Oregon unit, the infantry. Many students hace question Colonel E. V. D. Murphy and other ROTC instructors, asking why Oregon could not have artillery and engineering units as well as infan try. This, according to Colonel Murphy, would be possible if the funds for purchasing and housing the equipment could be had. Believes Army Willing “I am sure,” said Colonel Mur phy, “that the army headquarters would be more than glad to give us permission to establish an artillery corps, if,the state board and the students felt interested enough to back the movement.” He explained that there is a shortage of reserve officers in the artillery department of the army and that everything is being done by it to take more students into this field. $100,000 Needed A rough estimate by Colonel Murphy would place the amount required to have an artillery corps somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000. The buildings at the present ROTC quarters are inade quate and would not house the necessary big guns and other equip ment, Murphy said. A new shed would have to be built for this and would be the major cost. The equipment could probably be bought for a small sum, he said. The OSC unit was organized when the government was giving land gi’ants to colleges who would install courses in military training in their curriculum. Consequently they have a land grant of about $70,000 to finance their units, he said. Prospect Good “Furthermore,” Colonel Murphy continued, “Oregon State has regu lar engineering and science courses which work in nicely with the spe cial artillery and engineering units. This Oregon does not have, but other colleges without engi neering and science courses have artillery units and I think it could be done here,” he concluded. rat r?J Today’s Emerald IS made possible by the following advertisers Consequently they deserve your support!

An organ recital given jointly by William McKinney and Janet Felt, students of John Stark Evans, pro fessor of music, was given in the University music auditorium last night, serving as a prelude to the Shakespearean production “Two Gentlemen of Verona.’’ The recital, opened hy the ma jestic and dramatic Guilmont “Concerto,” played by McKinney, included some of the favorite selec tions for the organ. Miss Felt presented a group of numbers, including another num ber by Guilmont, the adagio and scherzo from his fifth sonata. Bach’s “Fugue, G-minor,” and the melancholy "Suite Gothique” by Boellman was also given. Miss Felt also played the amusing Wea ver selection “The Squirrel.” The concert was concluded with two numbers by McKinney, Franck’s “Chorale, A minor,” and stirring andante and finale from Widor’s fifth spmphony. nFFyrT'yyf Lottie Lizard Shares Suite With Intruder Lottie, the lizard, who lives in a glass cage on the top floor of Deady hall, is no longer mis tress of all that she surveys, for now her cousin, Gertie, the gar ter snake, who was captured alive at Belknap Springs, by J. E. Herbertson, instructor in zoology, has apparently moved in to stay. Gertie, who measures about two feet long is quite a pugna cious creature for her species, and she put up a good fight be fore her capture. To date, how ever, she appears to be living quite peaceably with Lottie and the three other smaller lizards in the cage. Gertie is on a diet of her own, and once about every two weeks she opens wide her jaws and temporarily inflates herself on a dinner of dead mouse. Phi Beta, Sigma Xi Hold Joint Banquet In honor of their new members, Phi Beta Kappa, national scholar ship honorary, and Sigma Xi, sci ence honorary, will hold their an nual joint banquet in Gerlinger hall, Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Preceding the banquet the new members of each society will be formally initiated. The speaker of the evening will be F. E. Lloyd, professor emeritus of botany, from McGill university, in Montreal, Canada, who will talk on “The Carnivorous Plant of the World.” Placement Bureau Files List Credentials of 4000 The files of the teacher placement bureau in the education building contain the permanent records or teaching credentials of nearly four thousand graduates and former students, Miss Ida M. Pope, placement secretary, announced yesterday. These records have been collected over a period of many years, and are voluntarily renewed by those concerned every year. These re-enroll menus, togetner wan uie out-going seniors and graduate students pre pared for teaching, number several hundred and comprise the list with which the bureau works actively each year in helping applicants find teaching positions. About 75 per cent of this active list are teaching alumni in Oregon and other states who are seeking pro motion in the teaching profession. Include Letters The credentials carry in detail the academic record of the indi vidual from high school through the University. They include a varying number of letters of rec ommendation, statement of extra curricular activities and personal data, all of which is frequently supplemented by specific informa tion on request. The bureau’s functions are to assist school officials in selecting qualified teachers for vacancies in their schools, and to help Univer sity graduates find teaching posi tions. Most of those registered with the placement bureau are seeking positions at secondary schools although each year an in creasing number register for ele mentary school positions. Contacts Constant The bureau keeps in constant touch with the schools and with teaching alumni for reports of va cancies. Miss Pope attends many state educational conferenc es throughout the year, as well as the annual Inland Empire Educa tion association in Spokane, for the purpose of contacting posi tions. Most of the positions reported to the bureau come from within the state, though each year some applicants are placed out of state, and occasionally in a foreign coun try. The record for 1936-37 shows the percentage of employment to be the highest of any yet attained by the bureau. ASKLEPIADS ELECT Meeting last night the Asklep iads, pre-med honorary, elected the heads of their organization for the coming year. Howard' Jones was chosen president; George Ste phensen, vice-president; and Wil lie Torrence, secretary-treasurer.
