Military Training Learns Where It Stands
J PNG ;i highly controversial subject, the
question of the advisability of military
training in colleges has taken on a somewhat
different aspect with war in Europe, if reports
in college newspapers which use the Texas
student opinion surveys are any indication.
Whereas as late as a couple of years ago
only a small majority favored military train
ing under any conditions in colleges, it is now
revealed that an overwhelming majority, as
high as 92 per cent, now approve.
Two years ago the University of .Oregon
campus was itself involved in a dispute over
whether or not military training should he
compulsory, with the thing finally settling
itself in a battle of ballots in which compul
sory training took the decision. It is in 1 he
light of that past and nearly forgotten un
pleasantness that what the Texas people have
done is especially relevant.
* * *
rJMIE Texas interviewers formulated a sim
ple question. They asked “Do you believe
ROTO military training, either compulsory or
voluntary, should be taught in colleges and
universities—-or do you believe it should not
be taught at all 1”
The survey found approval with some
variations. In schools where training was
voluntary, 9(1 per cent registered approval,
while in schools where it is compulsory 92
per cent approved. Only 82 per cent approved
in schools where it was not taught.
More, although a good majority were in
favor in every section of the country, the
largest number of dissenters — one-fifth in
each case—was found in the cast central and
west central states. Only 4 per cent more
women than men were opposed to the ROTO.
* * ■*
^LL this is significant of the vast, change
which has taken place in American eql
■|
logiate military in 1 lie last two years. Long
before Munich the handwriting on the wall
was readable, and as the war shadow length
ened over the world ils effect reached into
American education. Suddenly there Avas no
more horseplay. Overnight the attitude of the
basics underwent a right-about face. They be
came serious, forgot about the fact that they
were required to take military, settled down
to what they had to do. That attitude is ap
parent, now wherever the skimpy elements of
drill are practiced in colleges.
# # *
■yyilAT must be admitted about KOTO train
ing is that, until or unless the basic (first
two years) stiidenl goes into advanced military
lie is never exposed to anything more than
fundamentals, and those are pared to the
bone. Unless a student gets into advanced
military he never even learns bow to load and
lire a service rifle, and in all the four years
1he ROTO never sets eyes on a bayonet. This
is because the emphasis is toward officer t rain
ing. Most of the work is purely academic, with
just enough emphasis on drill to give the
average young man an idea of what it’s all
about.
# * #
JJUT even the meager training offered in
colleges is being accepted in the spirit
given. At the University of Oregon the KOTO
building is a recognized firetrap and a misfit,
yet the work goes on with surprisingly good
results, including national recognition. Fine
records are made at other schools offering
the training.
With Gallup polls going great guns find
establishing themselves as valid measurements
1 he findings of the KOTO survey stands as
more than an indication of the position of
collegiate youth of America on the military
training question.
The

By BILL JVIOXLKY
Aloe llic Incomparable
One of the best radio shows
available to west coast listeners
is “Alec Templeton Time,” on
the air every Monday night. The
critics have all agreed that Alec
Templeton is a genius in show
manship as well as in music. Our
own George Hopkins reported
that Alec was one of the most
friendly and interesting men he
had ever met, a man with per
fect social finesse and a tremen
dous power of imagination, de
spite his loss of eyesight.
Alec has a real "find" on his
weekly show in the person of
one Cyril Smith or “Pat O’Mal
ley,” the Englishman who re
cites naive stories with piano
accompaniment. O'Malley's ac
count of “The Lion and Albert"
and “Sam Put Down Thy Mus
ket" is legendary. These two
gems were recently recorded by
Bluebird.
“Vioni Su” Goes nn Wn\
And speaking of Bluebird,
they have just signed up Carl
Itavazza, popular band here on
the coast. For his first wax
work Carl is recording his beau
tiful theme “Vioni Su.” . . .

“Cherokee" sold so well, follows

Behind the
R baLl
With JACK BRYANT
Big laugh with the “insiders”
is the battle among Norm Fos
ter, Delt powerhouse, tray of
hearts Emerson Page, Berg
tholdt-instructed Theta Chi, and
Sheriff Buck Buchwach, backed
by his beard and a phoney six
gun. This trio is battling over
the domination of the Whisker
ino, each has different ideas and
each is just clever enough to
make a glorious mess of the
affair.
An interesting sidelight on the
Whiskerino is the one bloc con
trol of the affairs.
More Polly ticks: Tiger
Payne, Sigma Nu luminary, pol
ishes up for his spring cam
paigning in speech class. At
least when he gets started these
“Confucius say” things will go
by the board, as campuseers will
revive the Tiger’s “Fairly tall
story, Eh, Tige?”
Need of more coeds has been
brought to light by the recent
action of the Phi Sigs, John
Williams and Estley Schick.
Williams pinned a girl in Port
land and Schick hangs one on
a Linfield lass. . . . Now as a
final blow, five State college
Beaverettes are coming down
for the house dance.
What Now?
Leave it to the Sigma Chis,
not content with choosing a
sweetheart once a year, the State
college boys now go in for a
house mother. . . . Local opinion
on the subject brands it as the
coming thing and labels Oregon
as one of the last frontiers.
Nick Dallas, husky Beta, was
offered an ice cream cone if he
would spank Mrs. Burn’s little
girl Beverly, (a full grown Al
pha Chi) but Nick wasn’t man
enough!
Oh—So?
Corine Lamnn, ever-popular
Hendricks personality girl, now
has a “marvelous incentive to
quit smoking.” His name is be
ing held because Corine doesn’t
want him to know she smokes.

the Tri Delt dance as Sally

est Smoothie of the week is
sleek Eadic Yturri, who wears
her hair so well done she always
looks like she is going some
place. . . . Typical night at the
Shack scene is Jean Spearrow's
“I'm sorry . . . but I've already
three things to do tomorrow
night!”
Betty Buchanan, a die-hard,
is one of the last to discard the
knee-length sox. . . . Seemed for
a while as if a girl had to wear
knee length sox and wooden
shoes to be a college girl.
Society
With the Susie tea this after
noon and the Phi Sig radio
dance tonight no one on the
campus should feel as though
there is nothing to do . . . each
is an “everybody-welcome” in
formal affair.
Topic of the day is the master
photo of Roberta Lemon that
was taken of her in the infirm
ary. Lemon, always a card,
takes on the appearance of a
playful kitten that has just been
reproached.

“Good evening, Hendricks

vention of the American Council

of individual groups and associa
tions which are interested in per

Dean Onthank is chiefly con
cerned with the American College
Personnel association of which he
is vice-president. He also serves on
committees of the National Voca
tional Guidance association.
These meetings will be attend
ed by personnel officers and ad

On his way back to Eugene,

Wheaton college of Wheaton, Illi
nois, was downed by 40 points in
a five-man shoot; Georgia Tech’s
team lost by 98 points; and Texas
A. and M. lacked 34 points of
equalling the Duck score.
Top marksman on the Oregon
team was Deldon Kemberling, a
freshman, who shot a total score
of 371 points out of a possible 400.
The team was handicapped this
year by the graduation of most of
the members of last year’s nation
al champ team, necessitating a
shooting unit made up partially of
freshmen.
Members of the Oregon team
for the first series matches were
Deldon Kimberling, Stephen Kice,
