The Steers twins and Merritt Kuffer man may be back if the army de cides to release its personnel to I play in collegiate ball. There have been various rumors as to the fact that Oregon will withdraw from the conference. This is untrue and the athletic board plans to have a team in [ every major sport this year. Not only are they planning to enter in them, but the schedule for the football games is already out and the basketball schedule is on the j fire. Football Spectacular The football season, according to Warren, will be very spectacu lar inasmuch as there will not be the cut and dried plays of past years. Both the spectators and the opponents will know little of what to expect from the Oregon team. The athletic board is very op timistic toward Oregon's taking part in the conference. They said that Oregon will not withdraw unless they are forced to by the lack of suitable material from which to make up teams. It is too soon to tell that at the present time. Schedule Given The schedule for the games now arranged is as follows: Oct. 9 Washington at Seattle 16 W. S. C. at Eugene 23 O. S. C. at Eugene 30 Idaho at Portland Nov. 6 Washington at Portland 13 W. S. C. at Pullman 27 O. S. C. at Corvallis P^ie^Ude^it ScufA. The University of Oregon will make t ie academic year 1943-44 a logical contin nance of the previous adjustments to war time conditions. 1 he University i\i , 111 e e » be composed of two parts. One part will co isist of the civilian students, tie o lei pa will consist of the army specialized trainees. Our experience has shown tie wo Par s can be correlated very well. The University of Oregon has been extreme \ or una e in the high (jualitv of army specialized trainin g units which have been assignee o us. Present indications point to an enrollment of girls not far below the aieiage o peace time years. It seems probable that at Oast 1,200 young women students w i le re» ident on the campus. Ample houses for them will be available under Universi \ suPei vision in dormitory units, cooperative houses, and' sororities as well as in approvec private rooming houses. While the dormitories which we have known as Heiicnc s. Susan Campbell and Mary Spiller halls will be occupied by military men, se\ eia l a ei nity houses will he re-named as girl’s dormi ories and staffed and operated just as oui dormitories have been in the past. The frate rnity houses chosen for girls doimitories will be located close to other living organizations for girls. The men on the campus will be divided between the military and civilian gioups. v far the larger number will be men in uniform under military discipline and under tie pressure of a very intensified army training program. There are now between tne am six hundred of these men resident on the campus and by October there may be tlnee oi four hundred more. The army men will occupy all of the campus dormitory tacihties be sides as many fraternity houses as are necessary. The civilian men will consist of several hundred who are below the age of eighteen and are therefore not yet in military service. In addition there will be some ci\ llian men who are in deferred classifications under selective service. The housing of these civilian men will be provided in former fraternity living quarters under University sup ervision and just as though they were in regular dormitory units. In addition, there will be adequate living quarters in private homes approved by the University housing com mittee. The civilian part of the University wi 1 go about its academic work under condi tions which will be quite similar to those prevailing in peace ti*ie, although the calen dar of social events and student activities unquestionably will be curtailed. Both men and women will find their time occupied by a study program geared to the demands of the war and bv an activity program which i i more in harmony with war conditions than with the freer conditions of peace. Simplicity of social life and student activities should be taken for granted. Hut what the army wants from colleges and universities are courses of training which we can give better than the army. They are courses in mathematics, physics, lan guages, Knglish, American history and the like. In other words, no student should fee! that because he or she makes good progress toward a recognized academic major the war program of this country is not being adequately served. This war, more than any other, demands trained minds in a multitude of fields. Therefore, every part of the Uni versity is performing a function which is es sential to the welfare of this nation.
