Frosh men coming to the cam

Chance to make a name for them
celves in the way of sports than
4a years before. With the army
taking most of the athletes off
♦he campus and restricting those
on the campus, the majority of
the players will be the 17-year
olds who are just entering the
University.

It
few of last year’s football players
back, but is expecting' to fill the
vacancies from incoming fresh
men. Some of those coming back
this year are: Bill Mayther, Vic
Atiyeh, and Roy Heidenrich. 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

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.
