University of Oregon, Eugene, Dec
1S.-Girls of the University of
Oregon are preparing to sweeten the
holiday season for enlisted men in
the army. At assembly Wednesday
morning it was announced by Miss
Helen Delano, president Of the Wom-

following a letter received on the
campus from Lieutenant Leslie o..
Tooze, at Camp Lewis, it had been
decided to have the girls make 25.O
pounds of war candy to be sent to
one of the companies at the camp.
This is the latest war activity of
the girl students in the university.
Already large numbers of them are
occupying their leisure moments in
knitting sweaters, scarfs and wrist
lets for men in the army and navy,
and the girl without her needles and
ball of gray or drab yarn is becom-
ing the exception.

to take this opportunity to correct

that there is only one person OF that
name in town. While, as last week s

spell our names the same, we do pro-
nounce them the same, hence the
sometimes amusing and frequently
very annoying confusion. Miss NJ

fore leaving Ashland to prepare for
