DRESS SUIT WAR OPENS
OKKGOX UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
TACKLE PROBLEM.
Movement Under Way to Taboo
"Swallow-Tail" Apparel at An
nual Sophomore Hop Saturday.
TJNIVERSITY OP OREGON. Eugene,
Dec. 12. (Special.) A repetition of the
war recently waged at the University
of Washington on dress suits at formal
student dances Is promised here by a
movement started today.
The Oregon Emerald, the student
newspaper, in its issue tonight pub
lished a number of interviews with
members of the faculty and student
body, generally favoring the prohibi
tion of swallow-tail apparel at the an
nual sophomore hop, to be held Sat
urday. This is one of the four big
dances given during the year by the
various classes, and it is maintained
by the "abolition" element that many
university men will stay away because
they lack the regulation costume.
It is not intended to taboo the wear
ing of dress suits at private functions,
but only at those to which the general
university public is Invited. These, it
is felt, can only be made absolutely
democratic by doing away with all
dress distinctions, for although the
wearing of a dress suit is not compul
sory, most men feel out of place in
any other garb, it is said.
Freshmen have - been restricted to
sack suits at all social functions for
a number of years, as a mild form of
subjection. However, the extension of
the rule to Include all the classes would
be a radical change. For years the
sophomore hop has been a brilliant
spectacle, with the men in their somber
attire contrasting with the co-eds in
all their finery.
Owing to the llth-hour nature of
the movement, also, It will encounter
much opposition.
