Each Most Report to President of Col
lege When Number Is Draws) Am
Bisameat Taea Made.
ECGENE, Or, Aug. 8. (Special.)
The student enrolled In the Students"
Army Training Corps when registering
under the draft will state that he is
already in the military service of the
United States, according to an instruc
tion received at the University of Ore
con this afternoon, setting forth the
status of the college student who vol
unteers for military instruction at the
university in the unit to be formed
upon the opening of school next Fall.
The fact that the student will be tech
nically on active duty will necessitate
that he register for the draft. He will
be placed in class D, and draft boards
will not call him for induction so long
as he remains a member of the Stu
dents' Army Training Corps.
In order that the student may not
appear to enjoy special privileges, when
his number is drawn In the draft, it is
provided the fact shall be reported to j
the Dresident of the college. This will
be the day of reckoning, and it will
then be decided by the president and
commanding officer for what branch
cf military service the student, in their
Judgment, is best qualified. They will
recommend that the student either con
tinue his studies to prepare for work
along some technical line; that he go
at once to an officers' camp, or that
he be sent Into some branch of the
service. Their report will be made to
the committee on education and special
training of the War Department.
The presumption Is that for the next
year the greater pari oi me oiuuem
body of the colleges reaching 21 years
will be reaulred to supply a large pan
of the officers needed for the National
Army. '
GOVERNOR FOR HUNTING
STAND FOR OPENING SEASON ON
AUGUST 15 MAINTAINED.
Dancer of Fires In Timber Slight, Says
Chief Executive, . Owing to
Rains la Woods.
SALEM. Or "Aug. 8. (Special.)
Governor Wlthycombe will stand on his
plan to allow the hunting season to
open August. 15 regardless of protests
he has been receiving from- tlmbermen
and lumbermen.
'Unless conditions radically change I
see no reason for closing down on the
hunters." stated tho Governor. "Camp
ers have been in the woods all Summer
and no particular harm has ensued. I
have Just received word from Klamath
and Lake counties and from other sec
tions that the danger is slight and the
rains which we have had have made ae
ferrlng the open season unnecessary.
'Large numbers or people enjoy tneir
annual vacations hunting in the woods,
and It wonld be unnecessary to deprive
them of this enjoyment unless some
danger were involved. Serious consid
eration of all the conditions leads me
to believe that such danger Is lacking.
I have discussed the matter thoroughly
with State Forester Elliott, and he also
believes the necessity for keeping the
season closed is not urgent.
