Eugene, Ore., June 2(. The war
has hit the male enrollment of ths
summer session of the University of
Oregon a severe blow. Last year
125 men attended the session. This
year the number has been cut down

sharp a decrease. '
' The men attending summer school
here are giving a military aspect to
the campus by drilling under the
direction of Second Lieutenant Lewis
Beebe, of the second company, coast
artillery corps, Oregon national

cessiUea. "" ,
An amendment to the bill remov
ed from the food administrator the
power to control food consumption.
The. farmer la also released from any
power to effect a requisition of his
products. '
Senator Gore contended, that' the
bill should be limited only to distri
bution end consumption of food
stuffs. A special euVcommittee, con-
I slatting of Senators Gore, Kenyoa
and Chamberlain, was appointed to
consider this phase of the question.
The prohibition In the senate is
thought to endanger the administra

skm. It 1s thought thai ths Lsrer
food control bill Is blocked ss re
sult of the house adding such sweep
ing dry amendments. Threats and
counter threats have caused aa un
precedented situation. .
It Is likely that efforts will be
made to . divorce the prohibition
measure and the food control Issue,
letting prohibition rest on Its own
merits.
