ROTC Men Taken Under NewAqeLaw In the future, advanced ROTC students will not have their com missions as second lieutenants in the U.S. army reserve delayed because of age, Col. R. M. Lyon, head of the military department, announced. A recent order from the war department lowered the age re quirement for a commission from 21 to 18 years, enabling Gene Brown, Thomas Hardy, Ernest Murphy, Frank Rowe, and Lou Torgeson to be eligible for ap pointments as second lieutenants instead of receiving certificates of eligibilty on completon of their trainng. Age Change Previous to the age require ment change, a student satisfac torily completing his military sci ence course including camp train ing, would be eligible for appoint ment only upon reaching the age of 21. Those not yet of age were placed on the eligible list and ►- their commissions placed in ef fect on their majority. Colonel Lyon said that the need for officers to lead the greatly expanded infantry regiments has called for this speed-up in offi cer training. He did not make any statement concerning shortening of the prescribed training period nor did he promise that there would be any increase in the ad vanced' course quota. As Planned “As far as we now know, our seniors will graduate and receive their commissions at the close of school as planned. Most of them ■^V/ill go on immediate extended ac tive duty with the regular army, probably the seventh infantry,” he said. With the coming of Col. Charles L. Sampson to assume duties of an additional staff officer, Colonel Lyon said that the military de partment will be prepared for any order that the war department may send. Residence Change Quirinus Breen, assistant pro fessor of social science and his tory, has moved from 509 E. 13th To 2248 Columbia street. 1" W—1 Oregon Reporters: Jack Billings Elsie Brownell Elaine Dahl Margaret Deane Joanne Dolph Bob Edwards Bob Powells Ted Goodwin C arol Greening Ruth Jordan A1 Larsen Emerald Marjorie Major John Mathews Bette Miller Kov Nelson Edith Newton Margie Robinson Jean Spearow Betty Ann Stevens Janet VYagstaff Mildred Wilson Copy Desk Staff: Mary Wolf, city editor Joanne Dolph Ted Hallock A1 Larsen Night Staff: Jack Billings, night editor Marjorie Young and Fred Kuhl, assistants Marjorie Pierce Ruth Van Buskirk Carol Cook Art Faculty Members Move to New Quarters Eight members of the architec ture department are in the pro cess of moving into a newly fin ished room on the second floor of the architecture building accord ing to W. S. Hayden, assistant professor of architecture. “Although artists are tradi tionally independent in their color preferences,” Mr. Hayden said, “eight people have been able to agree on principles involved in the color treatment of this par ticular space and on the exact hue value and chroma of the colors. The result is a room into which eight members of the facult of the architecture school will move.” Two walls of the room are gray, and two are yellow. It shows what happens when eight designers put their heads togeth er to make a room they can all comfortably occupy with the greatest amount of priyacy pos sible and still have a place where they can mingle all their inter ests, Mr. Hayden explained. Bulletin Issued The Emerald business staff re cently issued a bulletin to its ad vertisers presenting new features offered in the advertising line. Among these it listed: tabloid size paper, complete campus cov erage of over 3400. students, All American rating, a display case in the library, and a newly es tablished promotional depart ment. % It is Not too Late to Seed A » THEY WONT FORGET_ DON'T YOU! Umoersitij '’CO-OP’ Orchids Lose Lawyer Vote u ucuiaiuu is luu pauuui iui the law students to make. By a unanimous vote at yes terday's special assembly of the men of Fenton hall decided to sacrifice their privilege of send ing orchids to the ladies for the law school’s formal dance this evening. The action was in ac cordance with a suggestion by Hazel P. Schwering, dean of wo men, and in complete harmony with the University policy of re ducing expenses of social events during the war. However, to show that chivalry is not dead, the barristers devised a scheme by which each lady will be permitted to wear a corsagee for ten minutes during the eve ning. One lone orchid will be transferred from formal to formal as Morrel Sharp, schedule chair man, sounds a gong and calls out the lucky name. The flower will be purchased by contributions of approximate ly ten cents from each man at tending the dance. At the end of the evening it will be awarded to the lady who is chosen winner of the “Little Jug” contest. “Because most girls like to wear corsages,” it was suggested at the assembly that defense stamps be worn instead of or chids, thereby directly furthering the purpose of the decision not to have flowers. This was vetoed because the stamps might not match the dresses. Food Decision (Continued from page one) The heavier Thursday noon meal was decided upon because of Thursday afternoon ROTC classes. Yesterday’s action grew out of hall residents’ “beefs” about food labor, rent, and management of the dorms and their insistent de mands that something be done to remedy existing conditions. Representatives Representatives were chosen from the various dormitories. They discussed the controversial matters with President Erb, elec ted officers, and appointed com mittees to investigate dorm fi nances. The food committee will meet again next Thursday with Mrs. Turnipseed and Miss Goodenow.

Midnight Oil Actually Burns Blackout restrictions are not hampering the work of Dr. Hugh B. Wood and his curriculum lab oratory seminar group. When the “lights out in 60 seconds” rule threatened to disrupt 5 o’clock activity at the school of educa tion because that school is not connected with the University's master switch at the power plant, Dr. Wood promptly purchased a shiny new kerosene lantern so his group could hold its seminar as usual on Mondays from 4 to 6 p.m. The lantern, a masterpiece in silver and glass, but immensely practical for all its beauty, stands about 15 inches high. It is offi cially classified as the No. 2 size, long used by veteran cow-milkers, and Dr. Wood keeps its bright metal well polished and the chim ney always clean. r Qamp^i Calewdan An open house will take place at Westminster house at 8 p.m. An all-campus evening of rec reation sponsored by the educa tion club will take place in Ger linger hall from 7:30 to 11 p.m. this evening.
