Governor's Day Competition for ROTC to Continue Contests Between UO, OSC Squads Slated May 19 The Governor’s day competition between the infantry units of the University of Oregon and Oregon State College ROTC, which -was inaugurated by former Governor Charles Martin last year, will be continued, according to an an nouncement of Robert M. Lyon, commandant of the University ROTC. Tentative plans are that the competition, which will be at Oregon State College this year will be held Friday, May 19. However, Colonel Lyon an nounced that only the honor com pany would be sent this year in stead of the whole infantry unit as was done last year. Honor Squads Drilling The honor company has been formed and are drilling at 10 o’clock each Wednesday. * The competition will consist of honor company and individual meets. Each school will select five men who will compete in a “drill, down” competition consisting of “school of the soldier” and “man ual of arms.” The competition will continue until all but three men will 1 ave made some error and been eliminated. Then the compe tition will be to determine first, second, and third places. Elimina tions for the five men to represent the University have begun, it was announced. The prize at stake in the honor companies drill will be a plaque, donated last year by former Gov ernor Martin.

A couple of local tongmen, an xious to get into the competi tive spirit, wired the Ohio State chapter of their fraternity offer ing to bet a 16-gallon keg of beer on the outcome of the game. “We wouldn't bet a plugged nickel. Congratulations,’’ was the reply. Year's Gains Continued Into Spring Term AL School Makes Greatest Increase Over 1938 The biggest registration year in the history of the University of Oregon was chalked up last week, as registration officials reported the heaviest spring term enroll ment on record, to coincide with the unequalled fall and winter figures. On Saturday 2926 students had paid their fees. The spring term figure, marked down after the first week of reg istration, was 6 per cent above that of last year at the same time. A ■ 9 per cent increase in wo men’s enrollment and a 4 per cent increase in enrollment of men was recorded. Grads Increase Most startling increase in any one group was in that of graduate students where there were 95 per cent more students registered than last spring term. The only class in which there was a decrease in membership was the graduating class, which now numbers 4 per cent fewer students than last year’s seniors. Junior class enrollment figures showed a! 12 per cent increase over last year’s third year students. Fresh men upped the 1938 figure by 4 per cent, and sophomores showed a 2 per cent upward swing. A 17 per cent growth over last spring’s total gave the arts and letters school the biggest enroll ment. increase, while the music and journalism departments fell below last year's figures with 6 per cent ond 2 per cent decreases respect ively. The social science school showed a 14 per cent growth, the home economics group increased 13 per cent and the education school marked up a 12 per cent increase. Bedlam (Continued front page one) Over a protesting doorman they swept into the refinished lobby and marched upon the stage, to tell the suspecting audience of the greatest Oregon victory. * * * Back on the campus things were also popping. Two policemen in the vicinity of Eleventh street fra ternity row were apprehended by a shoutingthrong, (hoisted up shoulder high, and only narrowly saved from millracing. By popular request they ended up dancing with coeds, in the spe cial "ballroom” provided by the Phi Psis who closed off one end J of the street with a tree they had cut dowtn for the occasion. An alert doorman at the May flower theater locked the doors of that establishment and prevent ed a duplication of the McDonald scene. A nearby radio—playing at full blast and supplemented with; a boy scout bugle—took students' minds away from theater-crashing and turned the Eleventh street celebration into a "dance.” The party ended up just a bit' rough with objects suspiciously like eggs being pelted. Eugene certainly was not left in doubt as to what had happened. The University of Oregon basket ball team had- become national champions, and if any of the 20,000 inhabitants failed to hear about the victory, it must have been be cause they were deaf.
