In keeping with the general activity
of Junior Week, each house has don
ned its gala attire, and extended its
hospitality in a truly Southern man
ner. The houses are filled to over
flowing, and affairs formal and infor
mal have followed each other in rapid
succession.
The social side of University life
is an attractive one, and Junior Week
end, particularly, is a merry-go-round
of social pleasures. Guests are in
vited months ahead, and with the
knowledge of past Junior Week-end
gayeties and merriment, they are key
ed up to a mood of pleasurable ex
pectation which can not fail to be
realized.
From the standpoint of club life,
Junior week end means “rush” week.
Prospective students are getting their
first impression not only of college
life, but of “your crowd” as well. The
fraternities take this opportunity to
“spike” many of the “preps,” but the
sororities may only become better
acquainted with the girls, since Pan
Hellenic forbids pledging before mat
riculation day.
First of all, the Junior “Prom” is
of paramount interest. As the big
gest dance of the year, all the de
tails are so planned and perfected
that the arrangements and appoint
ments are lacking in no way. The
floor of Hayward hall is in prime con
dition, the decorations are artistic,
and the music—Hendershott’s orches
tra of eleven pieces—will leave noth
ing to be wished for. Many prom
inent women are in the receiving line:
Mrs. President Campbell, Mrs. Bar
ber, Mrs. McDaniel, Mrs. Stevens,
Mrs. Bancroft, Mrs. Moores, Mrs.
Johns, Mrs. Harding, Mrs. Fuller,
Mrs. Woodruff, and Mrs. Friendly.
The grand march will begin at eight
fifteen, the president of the Junior
class, Mr. David McDaniels and Miss
LaConie Jamison of Portland, heading
the long line of merry dancers.
As we think of the week’s activ
ities, the yttle brick station presents
a picture, which we all well recognize.
Beginning Wednesday night every
train has been met by a crowd of en
thusiastic varsity people, giving the
glad hand of welcome to friends and
relatives. Three hundred people have
come from all over the state to make
merry in the annual celebration of
cellege life.

The Junior orations, although poor
ly attended, were more than interest
mg. Six prominent Juniors repre
sented the class of ’12, and their ora
tions showed knowledge of their sub
jects as well as excellence in delivery.

Thursday was a busy day on the
campus. Between classes, guests
were gaining their first impression
of college generally, and people in
particular. At the same time the Ore
gon students were endeavoring to dis
cover “Who’s Who,” and “With
Whom.”
* * *
Thursday afternoon, the musical
fraternity—Mu Phi Epsilon—was en
tertained by Miss Stinson in a most

Nancy Noon, Madeline Hill, Annette
Rrosius, of Hood River, Lucile Me- j

The theatre was crowded Thursday
eight when the Dramatic Club made
'ts annual appearance before the col
lege world. The students were pres
ent en masse, and box parties and af
ter-theatre suppers were the order of
the evening. For an amateur per
formance the play was favorably re
ceived, one or two members of the
cast showing decided histronic ability.
Among the box-holders were the
Kappa Thetas, who had as their
guests Miss Mildreth Humanson, Miss
Nickerson, Miss Medorra Steele, Miss
Helen Cake, Miss Maud Bateham,
Miss Helen Davis, Mis Mildred
Broughton, Miss Sarah McCully, Miss
Florence Howell, and Miss Doris Bv
ford.
* * *
Although the Mill Race has not
been the scene of a pageant, yet many
of the guests have had the oppor
tunity of becoming acquainted with
its beauty and charm, and one or two
informal supper-picnics were given a
long the banks of the Willamette.
* * *
The Lambda Rho gave a dainty
luncheon Friday noon for their
guests. The color scheme vcas yellow,

Miss Ruth Smith of Albany is vis
iting at the Lambda Rho house.
And so we can only conjecture how
beautiful a Queen Miss Gibson
would have made. The coronation
robe was ordered from Portland and
all the queen’s paraphernalia was cor
respondingly artistic. Miss Gibson
had selected as her maids, Miss Mar
jorie Holcomb and Miss Ruth Mer
rick. The men, who were to row the
barge were Byron Houck, Allie Grout
and Charlie Fowler.
* * *

MAIDEN RECEIVES VERY
INTERESTING MESSAGE
Great was the fluttering of a mai
den’s heart, and pained the expression
of a one-time cheerful countenance
when the vivacious M—C—received
a telegram on Wednesday evening’s
train.
When the train stopped at Wood
burn, there was a hasty sprint to the
depot for a Western Union blank and
then a rush for the train again. A
moment later a telegram was written
and delivered that caused the glow
The student affairs committee,
whose duty it is to grant all dates for
social entertainments are planning to
change radically the rules which reg
ulate social affairs. At the present
time very little attention is paid to
the enforcing of the regulations. How
ever, the student members of the com
mittee, Willetta Wright, Melvin Og
den, Tom Burke and Will Mott, are
formulating a set of rules which it is
hoped the committee as a whole will
adopt. These rules have been formu
’.ated from the standpoint of the stu
' themselves, and it is hoped that
they may be found practical.

ority.

Many college students took advan
tage of the splendid opportunity to
see Olga Nethersole in “Sister Beat
rice” and “The Enigma.” There were
several theatre parties. The Kappa
Alpha Theta girls entertained with a
ing anticipation of a week-end of
glory to fade from M—’s mind as
snow before a summer’s breeze.
The car she occupied was ringing
with laughter after the delivery of
the fatal telegram—sighs and gentle
sobs came from one corner. As is
the moaning from troubled seas, so
was her part of the conversation af
ter reading the joy destroying mis

All this was -aused by only ten
words—plain thv., were but then the
signature of plain John acted as the

meaning—to one at least.
The telegram—cause of it all.

to go south immediately.
Signed John.
