With the exception of a few whose principles forbid participation, every student owes it to himself, for an even ing can hardly be invested to better advantage. Indeed, there are few en terprises capable of playing a larger or more important part in student life than are such affairs when properly supported and managed. I he Emerald is not desirous of any ethical controversies, and does not favor the parties for the sake of dancing, but because of their influence for sociability and good fellowship. Blind man’s buff, ttiddledy winks, or hop scotch, would serve quite as well, were any of these games as widely popular an amusement as is dancing. I he executive committee \\ isely chose dancing, because it is one ol the best social solvents for breaking the ice and for getting numbers of young people acquainted. > '>nng poople are, or should he, so cial beings, and in college we have an invaluable opportunity for cultivating and training our social sense. Neglect o! the social life is as culpable as neg lect of the intellectual life, and the col lege graduate who has never learned to carry on a conversation, or to re gard the small conventions of life, is no more prepared for a career than the polished know nothing. Man is a gre garious, animal, and the world is es senti llx a social organization, wherein the boor is a hopeless misfit. Lord Uieshrlicld was particular that his son learn dancing, not for the art itself, hut for the ease of hearing and address onh to he acquired through participa tion in social life, Manx ot us, seemingly unconscious of the \ due of such training, neglect peo ple tor hooks, tin getting that after all hook - an merelx supplement to our real litc ot practu d human experiences. It is lot these and tor the freshmen 11 it i!ii Indent >! 1 . .■ - have especial heuehts. hxeryoue \H'o has an oppor tunity to meet exvrxou eNe on a plane of good fellowship, where "social cir cles and artificial distinctions do not exist, 1 he dances cl 'se carlv, and re quire no pellicula: effort in dress or expenditure. I here is free and easy atmosphere ot friendship and uucon st r, i int, and thr, is minimum of snohhisluiess., IL xh.anee tor a a ul time is. how ever, the mal, best a.ml most potent argument for attending. It ;s a sin to tori go any legitimate pleasure in this work a-day world, uu! the student who concludes las c» lives' e ivec: without squeezing the last drop of v lid pleas ure. is denying himself Ids birthright. Harmless pleasures come too seldom to he passed up. 1 hose \x ho do not etiioj at’ ding these parties, xxith winsome co-ed part ners. win* criticise the music, and sug gest ih.it the door is sticky; such ..:e mere cynics and misanthropes, fit onlv for musty library or the Fugene po lice force. The coy freshmen who re main away from bashfulness should; remember how Bub Hicks finally came out, brace up, and learn to dance. All should go next Saturday. Secure some fascinating co-ed, and dance for the sheer joy of being alive and young. Determine to have a good time, and you will. If the floor is sticky, or your partner awkward, forget it and smile. Let joy be unconfined. In these days of the sane Fourth, the Initiative and Referendum and revised football, the good old observance of Hallowe’en is sadly out of place. Time was, when as youngsters, we stole gates, overturned wood piles and destroyed property to our hearts’ content, but be ing college boys in a referendum state has peculiar and awful responsibilities. Every action is fraught with lurking dangers and unexpected consequences. We live in perpetual fear of some prank being “played up” with a caustic edi torial from the city papers, holding us up for the scorn and censure of the all powerful people. No, the observance of Hallowe’en is necessarily changing, and however much we may prefer the old time ceremonies, it is hoped that none of us will forget we attend an unendowed college in a referendum state. We must be refined and genteel in observing Hallowe’en this year, and for the sake of the deli cate sensibilities of the grangers, tick tacking of professors’ windows must be the limit of roughness. News letter from the O. A. C. Pub licity Department: Hazing has been abolished at Oregon Agricultural Col lege, and in place of the horrors await ing the timid freshmen, he is welcomed with open arms and protected and guid ed by the upperclassmen. As several of the timid freshmen were given free hair cuts, the news bulletin might more appropriately have said, “welcomed with open arms and open shears.” Nine-tenths of the grangers who read the O. A. C. letter in the country papers will not see the account of the hazing incident and will rejoice in the bold, righteous stand of the O. A. C. on the hazing question. 'I lie only wonder is how they do it. and it requires cleverness to keep a stand-in with the voters. With this issue the Emerald grows two columns. Each of the twenty col umns, which were formerly fifteen inches long, have been lengthened to sixteen and a half, giving a total increase of thirty inches or two fifteen inch col umns. Ibis additional space will be equally divided between the news and advertising departments. The college is capable of supporting a much larger paper, and the staff is now working toward a six page Emerald, which will mean an addition to the pres ent paper of ten columns. When the management sees its way clear to financ ing the proposition, the change will be made. Whether or not we oi*ee with them, we should give the “drys” credit for their demonstration today. They have the courage of their convictions and are willing to sacrifice themselves for their principles. If we profess to liberality and breadth of mind, we should give them credit for sincerity and enthusiasm in what the\ regard as a good cause. We should be proud of Captain Tay lor and bis men who defeated Idaho today. We should not merely be proud i of them, but we should show it by supporting them loyally throughout the | season. The team have proven them selves loyal sons of Oregon by adding another glorious victory p the collee ; tion of never fading laurel wreaths.

QUESTION FOR DEBATE SUBMITTED TO UTAH Spouters of Two States Will Ha rangue On Postal Savings Bank System The committee on oratory and de bate met Thursday and submitted the following questions to the University of Utah: Resolved, That the establishment of a system of postal savings banks by Congress was justifiable. Interpretation: It is mutually con ceded that the above question does not refer to the particular postal savings bank act recently passed by congress. Utah must reply with its choice of sides by November 1st. The contest will be held in Salt Lake City, January 13, 1911. Two men will be sent, to meet an equal number from the Mormon in stitution. A series of tryouts has been ar ranged, on the same order as those for last year’s teams. On Friday, Novem ber 18, will come the general tryout of all men entered. Each man will be allowed five minutes to speak, and may debate on either side of the question. On Tuesday, November 22, the second of tryouts, instead of a single one, is, Coach Buchen says, to find out each man’s ability to handle different sit uations, and to see how much improve ment he makes from one tryout to the next. Those who intend to tryout should hand their names to Manager Hunting ton before Monday, November 7. ********** * CALENDAR * * Saturday, Oct. 29— * 8:00 P.
