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.

Music Students Give
Organ Recital Here
.
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.

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.
