TRUTH FROM THE SOURCE Mr. Hanley hit the nail on the head in his address yesterday morning, when he warned us against the tend ency of college men and women to specialize to the point of narrowness. We must how in admiration before efficiency, but the really efficient man, in the broad sense, is the one who maintains a wide, tolerant, generous view point toward life and the world. This principle of broadness of vi sion does not apply merely to ability to gather the dollars and cents; it applies to our attitude toward man kind in general. We now and then find a student who during his four years of college life, has seemed to forget the great extent of the world and to think that the only part of creation of any importance is his own little sphere of acquaintance and ac tivity. This is the worst kind of nar rowness. As a matter of fact, the people who keep the world moving are not all college bred. The world's heroes are far from being in the main college men. The majority of those who have won the respect and admiration of mankind have gone the "hard, round about, strenuous route.” as Mr. Han ley so clearly and forcibly expressed it. Our guests at assembly yesterday typify the men who, without the ad vantages of special training, come into a new country and with stalwart determination make of the wilder ness a productive land. These are men whom the world pronounces suc cessful, and it is well that we should sit at their feet and learn of life in its bare, unvarnished realities. Such men give us a glimpse of truths which are called to our notice alto get her too seldom. The value of the opportunities which we enjoy and the importance of making the best of them, was also brought forcibly to mind by the words of the various speakers. When such men as William Hanley, and the other speakers at the la t assembly, emphasize the necessity of college training, and point out that it is of immeasurable advantage to a man or woman, wo may rest red that such is the case. The e men are trained to look at things from the sane, common sense v; wpoint of practical men and their v ml is the expression of long expert and oh servation. (Hatefully do u. well men as these, and may we tunale as to receive visit. mam anil often such ii> for them \ (,<>(»!» < i i ) : lii - iu respet tlu> S' i U ly of t In- l' >ii\ t i sit \ 'f (iiv: , hic;h.

Oregon students, h'Wexei, are can tent to let the stroke of midnight find their dances and parties at an end. There is no reason why the environ ment of a University should cause a man or woman to become less rational or to forget the proprieties of correct society. The man or woman who ex pects in after years to exert the right kind of influence on the social life of his or her community, cannot begin too soon the exercise of temperance, moderation and good judgment. It is to be hoped that such sensible social customs will continue at Ore gon. Announcements Dance—Second Student Body in formal Saturday evening, at 8 o’clock, Men’s Gymnasium. Season tickets admit.

Giving a column or so a day to society made it appear, the father of the movement said, that the University was social crazy. “The principle is not new by any means, hut, unfortunately, its valid ity is not proportionate to its age. Acting upon it, The Daily would im mediately have to omit sporting news, for some earnest ones tell us there is too much athletics. Ac counts of club meetings would be left out; there undoubtedly is too much club life. Should not all mention of fraternities be omitted? Are not too much attention and effort put on the Greek letter societies? Should not accounts of studying be left out? Many pet sons study too much and be come gtinds. Speaking generally, the following of such a principle would do away with the function of it college paper. "It really is not the province of a newspaper to look into the ethical and utilitaiian virtues of all the facts back of its stories. The func tion of a newspaper is to print the news. Like every good citizen, it should take an interest in affairs, and by custom is bound to comment on them, but even those opposed edi torially should get fair treatment in the news. “Whether local society is good or bad. therefore, is not the concern of The Daily as a purveyor of news. The factors to be considered are whether the matter is true, and whether it is interesting. When these factors are present, the material is news, and deserves to be published. The solu tion, as we see it, is to reform con ditions, if they need it, and not to suppress news." Washington Daily. FRESHMEN V. W. C. A. G1K1.S OKG VM/.KD TOR TRAINING A new Y W. C. A.

COMMUNICATIONS TO-KO-LO FORMAL DINNER AROUSES IRE OF STUDENT To the Editor: Cheered by the unusual sight of seeing some unknown “student” come out and actually say what he, or she, thinks about the “throttled” condition of the students in this University, due to “fraternity position,” which is, I believe, exactly the case, I am tempt ed to see whether the Emerald really wants student opinion frankly ex pressed, by submitting this article. The University of Oregon does not need any more exhibitions of “high b’ow” social life as was furnished by To-Ko-Lo at its formal dinner at the Osburn Hotel last evening. To see a group of twenty or twenty-five young men of this school, who are so in need of some way to spend one evening, that they have to “doll” up in their full dress suits and pay one dollar for a meal, and one for their lady, is positively disgusting. Does such an exhibition mean that theaver age frat man. though I believe that •'here are few non-fraternity men in this club, does not get enough social life out of the ordinary college fra ternity existence? If this is the case, then the fraternities need more social life—a hard thing to convince most non-fraternity students and outsid ers. Or does this dinner show us the Fulfillment of the purposes and ob jects of this and similar clubs. Are ihese organizations, supposed, I be lieve, to be composed of honor men, >f some intellectual attainment, rely ng upon this sort of thing for their daim to usefulness, or even for an excuse for existence in the Univer sity? I would like to ask what good have these clubs done; Has anyone heard of any of them (I believe there are two such Sophomore societies,) taking any definite or public stand on any of the questions that have come up be fore the students this year or last? Can anyone, can the members of the societies themselves, show in a single instance where they, as intelligent students, have done one bit of good as organizations ? I suppose, that like other organiza tions with nebulous ambitions, they have for their supreme object, etc., good fellowship and friendship among themselves as students of one class. Yet in the face of this they base their hope of creating their longed for good fellowship and so on, on the frailty of superficial action and manners evi denced at these formal dinners. To-Ko-Lo does not seem to realize that as young men, they can become much better friends, and understand each other much better, and thus give the correct basis for good friendship, if they undertake a frank discussion, find out their different opinions and try to reach some sensible conclusion about any of the problems that con front us all as students in this Uni versity. Let usefulness be their am bition. But to continue this sham and non sense of giving formal dinners on a week night, without any other out ward excuse for their existence, will mean the end of such foolishness as secret Sophomore societies.

OEBATE TOPIC CHOSEN ’reference (liven to Washington’s Wording of the Inter-State De bate Question. The Washington wording of the lm nigration question has been chosen, j >y a two to one vote, as the question ;o be used in the Inter-state debating •ontest. Oregon's wording was the same as Washington’s, with the exception that Oregon uses the term skilled and un skilled, while Washington restricts it :o unskilled. Stanford's choice was the use of the Australian system of an educa tional test for entrance, but in the final vote they voted for Washington’s wording. The adoption of this form of the question will make very little differ ence in the work which the Oregon men have done, for they have worked mostly along the lines of the ques tion as stated. The exact wording of the question in its final form is as follows: "Resolved, That the immigration to the United States of unskilled labor ers of Slavonic. Hellenic, and Italic races of eastern and southeastern Europe, be prohibited. All but twelve shares of stock of the Wisconsin Daily News have been sold to students of that institution. NEW MUSIC TEACHERS PLEASE WITH RECITAL Miss Winifred Forbes and Miss Avis Benton Are Well Received by Large Audience. Four hundred University and towns people greeted the first recital last evening of two of the new members of the School of Music—Miss Wini fred Forbes, violinist, and Miss Avis Benton, pianist. Both the artists ap peared to great advantage and were the recipients of many a round of hearty applause, responding with lively encores. Miss Forbes displayed a distinctive mastery of technique, yet added to the classical finish a sympathetic air that appealed to the untutored. Her most effective numbers were Sjo gren’s "Somite,” Bruch’s “Concerto in G minor,” and the Hungarian Rhapsody.” Miss Benton rendered several of the masterpieces of noted contempor ary German composers, of whom she is a disciple. She was highly success ful in her initial appearance before Eugene music lovers. Miss Forbes’ accompaniments were ably rendered by Mr. David Camp bell, also of the University School of Music. A second recital by the same ar tists is planned for some time in the spring. The program was as follows: Sonata . Sjogren Allegro moderate. Lullaby Lachmund Valse. Lachmund Concerto in G minor Bruch Adagio. Allegro moderate. Walther’s Prize Song Wagner Wilhelmy Hungarian Poem No. 1 Jeno Hubay Hungarian Poem No. VI Jeno Hubay Hungarian Raphsodv No. XI Liszt INTER-SORORITY BASKETBALL RESUMES TO FINISH SERIES The inter-sorority basketball series was resumed this afternoon when the Kappa Kappa Gamma team met Beth Reah in the first game of the past four weeks.
