The first positive step in this campaign will be taken by the senior class at its meeting 1 hursday afternoon. A reso lution is to be introduced at that time embodying this idea—taxes for class dances to be levied only upon those mem bers of the class who are benefited by the dance. I bis resolution will no doubt be op posed by a number of the more conser vative members of the senior class. They will maintain that, in spite of the fact that no class can be more than par tialis- represented at a dance, it is never theless, an affair of the entire organi zation. It is a social function held in the name of the class, hence the respon sibility for its success must rest upon all of the individuals who are members of the class which is entertaining. I his stand is not without its merits. Nevertheless, the stronger arguments appear to rest with those who are sup porting- the opposite view. Every class must fall naturally into two divisions, when one is considering the question— those who do and those who do not dance. Among the latter there is cer tain to be a large number wno have con scientious scruples not only against dancing themselves, but against all danc es and dancing. It is manifestly unjust that these should be called upon to bear a portion o! the expense of something which, aside from the fact that it does not benefit them in the least, they cm. not conscientiously either sanction oi support. Still others there are who, although they have no objections against dancing, never dance themselves. 1 hey are in different. They arc not represented at any dance given by their class; they de rive no particular benefit or pleasure from it For this reason, other mem bers of the class who do dance, have no legitimate ground for insisting that those who do not dance should be called upon to help bear the burden of expenses of this kind. The influence of the senior class can do much to assist in eliminating this abuse. I lie Kmcrald heartily endorses the resolution which is to be brought forward for that purpose, at the coming meeting of the class. In spite of what ever may be said to the contrary, a class dance never was and never can he a social function representing the who*? organization under whose auspices it is given. In plain terms, it never can be anything more than an entertainment given l>_\ the dancers of this or that class, to the other dancers of the University. I hat being the ease, let the expenses of the entertainment be lev ied accord ingly, leaving out those who can not possibly have any interest in or benefit from it. TRAINING TABLE FOB TRACK TEAM STARTS Twelve of the Fourteen Who Will Compose Triangular Team Picked by Trainer Twelve of the men who have made the best showing this season on the track were placed on the training table, which was served for the first time at 6:30 yes- J terday evening in the Dormitory dining i room. The men elected were: Ben Williams, 1 Riddell, Latourette, Johns, McDaniels, Hawkins, Elliott, Kellogg, Henderson, Neill, McClure and Kay. Fourteen men will be the limit this season for the training table and the two vacant places wdl probably be filled be fore the Triangular meet at Seatle. HIGH SCHOOLS LISTEN 10 VARSITY SPEAKERS Lincoln High School Holds Rousing Promotion Assembly As a result of the county organiza tion movement for the purpose of inter esting high school students in the Uni versity of Oregon, many meetings were held by the students during vacation week at the various high schools throughout the state, m which iepit sentative students of their alumni made speeches encouraging the high school students to choose Oregon as their alma mater. Probably the largest Oregon demon stration of all was the one held at Lin coln High School, of Portland, on Fri day afternoon. More than twenty of the school’s alumni who are now Var sity students attended the special assem bly, which.w;ts called for the occasion at that time. "Sap" Latourtte, of whom all Lin coln High is proud because of the show ing he has made in athletics, spoke on athletics at Oregon. Miss Jennie Lilly, editor of the Oregon Monthly, and Miss Flla 1 >obie, Oregon ‘06, now a teacher in Lincoln High, were the women rep resentatives wiio made enthusiastic ad dresses. One of the most pleasing features of the afternoou’5s program were the Ore gon song Ming by a quartet composed of Ueorge Mallet. Lloyd Barzee, Raphael Ucisler and Francis Curtis. After this meeting, Lloyd Barzee led a similar but less pretentious delegation to an assembly held at his alma mater, Washington High School. More than a dozen meetings in the various counties have been reported. Seniors Meet Tomorrow 1 he senior class will hold an impor tant meeting tomorrow afternoon at tour o'clock in Prof. Schmidt’s room. Reports will be given from the Senior !’lay management and from several of the committees. It is rumored that a dividend is to be distributed among those w ho attend. B. 11. Williams announces that he intends to introduce a resolution favoring the maintenance of class dances by an admission charge instead of by a class tax rite Slide Rule Club has announced a meeting for Thursday afternoon at tour o’clock in Dr. Leonard’s room.
