STATE UNIVERSITY Jolia Hamii.ton Editob. Prof.'Johnson was absent from school last Friday. The debate at the Eutaxian society last Friday was decided in favor of the affirma tive. The Eutaxian Society was visited last meeting by Misses Helen Osborne and Veiun Adair. Trof. Hawthorne was absout this week on account of being summoned as ft witness in an important lawsuit. It will not be long now until the April vacation; many studuuts will doubtless go home then. The social given lost Saturday evening at the residence of Mr. Unburn by the Y. P. H, C. E., was well atteuded by the studeutri. During Prof. Johnson's absence last week Miss Etta Levis heard one of tho classes. Miss Levis makes a very proficient profess or. The seniors are back this week looking much refreshed after their week's vacation. We hear some of the orations are completed i which speaks well fur the enterprise of the class. At present six students formerly of the University are in California. Three are graduates, Messrs. Powell and Judkius, and Miss McClung. The other three are Clara Cogswell, Mary Potter and Benj. MoConnell. In about ft week Miss Ida Patterson will commence n spring term of school five miles from Eugene. The society does not like to lose Mist Patterson as she was active in society aud greatly helped to make the debates interesting. Rome items concerning former students of the University: Mr. Frank Bybee is at tending the Business College iu Portlaud. Miss Minnie Shaw has returned home from Missouri. Mr. Horace McClure, w ho is now doing newspaper work in Portlund came home on a visit this week. The question for debate to-day, Resolved, That immigration should be restricted, will be discussed by Misses Fanuio Condon, Agnes Greene, Melissa Hill, Annie Roberts on the affirmative, and by . Misses Bessie Day, Emma Dorris, Etta Moore aud Aunie Criiiu on the negative Mr. Woodworth found a new pun which he propounded the other day to a fair senior. " hy is a prudent man like a piuf" She promptly replied, "Because it is hard to to sit down upon." But that was not cor rect. A prudent man is like a pin because his head Keeps him from going too far. We congratulate our worthy coutemporary Mr. Waggoner, on his sudden elevation from an ordinary Laurean to fill the important office of Laurean editor. We know Mr. Waggoner is equal to the emergency of bis office, but we are sorry that lack of space forbids us to warn Mr. Waggoner against the perils that beset his path for the next ten weeks. Mr. Greenfield has decided taste for femi nine vanities. The other day the reporter saw him in the reading room studying vigor ously while a huge hoop of silver hung from his ear in a most coquettish fashiou. We cannot help thinking how charming a pic ture, had he only worn iu addition that Mother Hubbard which used to be so be coming a year or two ago. Charles L. Lock- wood was equally charming aud similarly bejewelled. The committee appointed to choose a speaker to address the societies next com mencement have asked Hou, Rufus Mallory of Portland to deliver the address. Mr. Mallory is a prominent lawyer and able speaker. It is a good selection. In select ing Mr. Mallory they evidently had his ser vice as a speaker in viow, for instead of ad dressing the societies he may be called upon to decide the great corporation dilllculty. We believe it would be advisable to let Mr. Mallory know the full particulars of the case before asking him to accept the invitation to address the societien. In the Latin sentence "Apes sine rei;e esse non possuut," bees are unable to be without a king, the professor asked why the Romans said king instead of queen as we say it now. A oiry student unacquainted with the habits of this iudustrious insect accounts for it iu this way: In ancient times bees had both kings aud queens but the gentler sex were regarded as so Insignificant that the Ro mans only mentioned the king of the bees takinc no notice ot the oueen. uui at ine present time things have become so changed, people are much more enlightened. The gentler sex rule the world so completely in every respect that to-day people only men- tiou the queen Ol ine oees paying uo uueu lion whatever to the dethroned king, until we are almost in doubt whether or not bees have a king. From this theory this student proceeded to state that the position of wo man has greatly improved siuce the time of the sue eut ilomsus. TUis is a new ana otiginal argument to prove that among men aud women as among ine oees women win corns aneau. Thepublio rhetoricals last Fi'idnv quite exoeeded the expectations of those who were assembled in the hall. The following stu dents read compositions on descriptions of Fire: John McClure, lutgar ltawtuorne, Nellie SuodgrasB, Etta Owen.

MISS Minnie t reB and Etta Levis entertained with well chosen solections. Mr. Hughes' ana flir. uronangu displayed considerable oratorical anility. While the Diiriesipie remiereu mr, mug created much merriment. Mr. Lynn spoke a piece which was not altogether patriotic, yet it was in that style which excites emotion. Mr. Waggoner acqitted himself with bis ao onstoined credit. Messrs. Veazie and Mc Coroack showed much careful tiaining by the admiruble manner in which they de claimed. Some of the visitors present were Misses Hattie Fence, Etta Moore, Kate and Cecilo Dorris, Annie Uuderwood, Anuio Roberts, Mary Cleaver, Helen Osburne, Gold smith, Messrs.
