Parades, Rallies Greet
Start of Scrap in 1917
By TED GOODWIN
In contrast with the pell-mell enthusiasm, flag waving, and
cheering crowds that greeted America’s entry into the last
war, students this week gathered in small groups and quietly
discussed the bombings, the president’s messages, and their
own relation to it all. Local defense authorities quietly and
systematically executed a black
out. At an assembly students
were told to r emain calm and con
tinue their normal functions
while coordinating every effort
toward defense.
At a similar assembly in 1917,
“Wild outburst of applause greet
ed the announcement that we had
at last declared war on Ger
many.” This was taken from a
local paper that also carried the
story of a huge patriotic parade
on the streets of Eugene.
“Men, women and children
yesterday afternoon paraded the
streets of Eugene in a great pa
triotic demonstration,” The story
continues, “Thousands waving
and wearing American flags
crowded sidewalks and streets.”
Those who were on the campus
in the last war remember how
military training began. In 1916,

Eric W. Allen, dean of the school

chairman of a committee to in
vestigate possible courses in mili
tary training.
Bowen Took Over
In December, 1917, Col. H. W.
C. Bowen, retired U. S. army of
ficer, assumed control of the Uni
versity cadet corps .Later in the
same month, Col. John Leader,
British colonel, wounded in ac
tion, came to Eugene at the re
quest of President P. L. Camp
bell to aid in training officers.
One of Colonel Leader’s first
actions was to requisition all the
shovels, picks and barbed wire
in town and start his charges in
the fundamental principles of
trench digging and wire string
ing.
A little later he managed to
obtain some 400 old army rifles
and the students no longer had
to drill with wooden guns. In
1941, a class of some 60 officers
is ready to graduate and go into
active duty. Nearly 1,000 stu
dents are enrolled in military
science courses.

'Snap'

By DON DILL
And it being that time again
this last dribble of the season
will attempt to acquire that mood
and forget such things as overex
posure, grainy enlargements, dou
ble-exposure and the other little
things such as draft numbers.
The time has also come when
carrying a camera may be in the
same category as carrying a con
cealed weapon, especially when
you try to take beautiful cloud
pictures with an unassuming air
plane factory in the foreground.
But being that as it may it is
the Christmas gift problem that
is still lurking around in people’s
minds. And what makes a nicer
gift than a camera? Two.cam
eras and a flashgun—smart guy.
Seriously, though, cameras are
the universal answer to the “what
to give’’ complex for they are
suitable for everyone—male or
otherwise, young or old or oth
erwise.
Tell It to Santa
If you aren’t wondering what
to give but rather what you’re
going to get, you can always
drop a hint for that particular
film gadget you have had your
eye on since you overspent your
allowance.
Luck is with us right now in
as much as camera stores are
fairly well stocked with the lat
est equipment and supplies at
prices that are much the same
as before Hitler began getting
too big for his pants and needed
living room.
Cameras for gifts range all the
way from Baby Brownies at only
a dollar to Graphics which cost
too darn much for practical gift
budgets. The little brother or sis
ter would go for one of the little
Brownies and find much pleasure
with it throughout the year. Fa
ther would probably act like a
baby with a stick of candy if he
were to receive a movie camera
such as the inexpensive Univex,
the Bell and Howeil standard, or
any of Eastman’s or Keystones.
Of course he can worry about
the projector. And the best is
none too good for Mom, but she
would probably find more delight
in a folding camera of the six
twenty size, not too complicated
and easy to carry. Agfa and East
man have several models of
these foldies at different prices
with many different combinations
of lens and shutter speeds.
i< or me serious
Argus cameras is the answer
to the question of what to give
the more serious amateur who
likes to work with fast lens and
a wide range of shutter speeds
while using the thirty-five mili
meter film with its wide range of
speeds and grain. Argus models
begin in price at twelve dollars
for the AF, which is an f4.5 lens
and fixed focus miniature, up to
the C3, a precision-built camera
with an f3.5 lens, coupled range
finder and synchronized flash.
Of course there are always ac
cessories and gadgets which ev
ery shutterbug and camera ad
dict wants and needs. There are
ever so many filters for spectac
ular cloud scenes. The Co-op has a
neat and inexpensive item that is
practically indispensible for all
camera users. It’s a lens brush
made of the softest camel’s hair
so that the lens won’t be
scratched when removing dust
and lint and it works like a lip
stick tube with the bristles dis
appearing into the handle with
a twist of the wrist, so as to be
easily carried in the pocket.
To Suit the Pocketbook
Enlargers are for those who
have private dark rooms and lots
of rocks. But Carl Baker has
many kinds for all pocketbooks
and also movie projectors like
same. But then he has inexpen
SPRING SCENT

order. A male probabi'y doesn’t know one perfume frcm another so
he’d better get some expert advice before purchasing. The scents

sive things such as camera cords,
carrying cases, light exposure
meters and many other things
which you can’t decide upon.
Wanta see someone go nuts?
Give little brother a beginners
developing outfit and see the wild
gleam that comes in his eyes.
And look at Pop as he suddenly
becomes interested. There’s
something about a lot of shiny
bottles and tubes.
And if you are looking for
tripods or sunshades Dotson's
Foto Shop has just the one you
had in mind, along with other
practical accessories and supplies.
These few suggestions may be
taken with a grain of “buy it
early’’ so that there won’t be any
regrets if you get home and there
isn’t much left in the shops. And
while only a few of the photog
raphy items now offered have
gone up in price at the present,
you can look for a rise in prices
like the national debt.
