FIRST STUDENT BODY
MEETING OF THE YEAR

The first student body meeting of the
year was called to order at Willamette
university this morning by President
Howard Jewett The purpose of the
meeting was to elect four members at
large from the student body to serve
on the executive committee for the
coming year, also number from the
faculty. Those elected were: Earl
Flegel, a member of the junior class;
Warren Booth, of the same class; Helen
Wastell, senior; and Harold Eakin, a
sophomore; Prof. c. l.. Sherman.
President Jewett welcomed the incom-
ing freshmen and hoped that they would
soon feel themselves at home. He de-
sired that everyone would stock up
with concentrated pep" and not be
afraid to distribute it around. A strik
ing phrase which he used was, "The
world stands aside for the man who
knows where he is going" This he said
was what everyone present should real
ize and the sooner they did so the quick
er they would get lvsults. He stated
that he desired to burst the dissolu
tionized bauble which has been floating
about in the past, namely that the
business men Of Salem were not sup

them that the collegian is possible they

The embassy has only interfered IN

Notable among the erstwhile soldiers
are Howard and Harold Hudson, twins,
aged 16, of Bridgeport, Conn. Thanks
to the embassy of Uncle Sam they are
new safe and sound ar home with their
parents. The boys were sent 90 England
for schooling. When war began to be
the sole topic of conversation, school
held no charms for the twins. They ran
away and enlisted in a Sussex regiment
They told the recruiting sergeant they
were eighteen and ,csliy passed the
military examination. They sodiered
for many weeks. Finally word of the
true situation found its way to the
Hudson home in Bridgeport. An ap-

The embassy is making the best of a
bothersome situation.
Unofficial records show that more
than 1900 Americans are enrolled in
the various divisions of the British
army mainly the Canadian contingent.
Over 100 are dead on the backgrounds
of Flanders. Adventure and the pure
love of "a scrap" is the motive which
has impeled the majority to brave their
bodies TO bullets. according to the gen
eral opinion. Some few have taken to
heart what is declared to be "the Ger
man menace" and have enlisted to help
England. believing that America would
come next on the German list if the
allies fail. This sentiment, however,
is not the predominant one among the
American volunteers. The majority are
the care free young lnen Of large Amer
lean cities.
According to General Sam Hughes,
Canadian minister of defense, recently
in England, many West Point cadets
have offered their Sc, wees in the Cana
dian army and some are now serving
as trained officers.
Americans are not only in the uni
form of England but are working in
various related capacities. Over fifty
