000000000000 o SOCIETY o o o o By Ethel Tooze. o oooooooooooo The tedium of examination week has completely disappeared, and has taken its place among the dark mem ories of the past. In its stead, Uni versity society has been gradually coming to a climax this week through a varied series of entertainments, which will end tonight in the annual Freshman hop. Valentine affairs have been the prevailing mode of the entertainment that has swept through the circles of the social life of the week-end. Many of the houses have found time to worship the good Saint Valentine, with dinner parties, informal dances, class entertainments, and masquerade affairs. A Freshman Fairyland is an apt description of the Men’s Gymnasium that has been transformed from a barn-like emptiness to an enchanted mass of beauty, on the occasion of the annual Freshman Hop that is be ing held this evening in Hayward Hall. The guests and students of the University will be greeted by a veri table sea of waving hearts, that form the feature of the descriptive scheme that has been devised by the Fresh men committee under the direction of Morris Hyde. Banks of evergreen boughs add a touch of the eternal green to the barren walls, while the floor expense has been broken with the utilization of beautiful palms and Papanese dwarf crab-apple trees. Promptly at 8:30, President Pros ser and Miss Grace McKenzie will start the Grand March to the strain from Hendershott’s orchestra. There will be sixteen dances on the pro gram, each dance being announced by an electric heart sign over the north goal. The patronesses will be President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Professor and Mrs. John Straub, Miss Julia Burgess, and Miss Ruth Guppy, and Mrs. E. M. Spencer, of Cottage Grove. Many of the younger set of the State, friends of the University, for mer students ,and rushees, have been attracted to the University city on the occasion of the Freshman hop, and its attendant festivities. Those staying at the Gamma Phi Beta house are Miss Minealena Cam eron, of Heppner, Miss Mildred Broughton, of Portland, and Mrs. Claud McCollough, ex-’12, of Baker. Chi Omega has entertained Miss Rogers, of Salem, and Miss Florence Cornell, Irene Strowbridge, Ermel Miller, and Miss Lois Ladd, of Port land. At the Kappa Alpha Theta house, Miss Lila Sengstake, and Miss Jessie Bibee, of Portland, Miss Julia Cro well, Miss Gertie and Lora Taylor, of Albany, and Miss Cecile Wilcox, of Independence, are spending the week end. Miss Sengstake will remain in Eugene during the coming week. Several out of town guests were the cause of a delightful masquerade dance, given by Chi Omega, Friday evening, at the chapter house. The decorations consisted of ivy and ropes of red hearts daintily twined.

Among the notable events of the week-end was the matinee dance, given by Kappa Alpha Theta, Friday afternoon, for Kappa Sigma. Sev eral surprises were in order for the afternoon, among them a clever way to find the partners for the delightful dance. A row of named hearts was displayed, the men shooting at the attractive array with toy pistols. Light refreshments were served. The Juniors of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority gave a pretty heart par ty at the chapter house Friday even ing. The loge was artistically decor-1 ated with greens and the red symbol of the Valentine occasion. Stunts, in keeping with the spirit of the even ing were the features of the enter tainment. A musical afternoon was given by Mrs. A. C. Dixon at her beautiful home on East Eleventh street, yes terday afternoon, in honor of Mu Phi Epsilon. Mrs. Dixon is one of the patronesses of the local chapter. A study was made of operatic soprano voices through Victrola records. The charming hostess served dainty viands at the close of the delightful musical afternoon. Kappa Kappa Gamma gave a pret- j tv Valentine dinner party Saturday for a number of their friends. The j guests were Harold Warner. Russell Brooks, Clarke Burgard, Lyman Rice, Earl Fortmiller, Bert Jerard, Melvin Ogden, and Clyde Phillips, of Port land.

Paddock spoke to 200 young women of the University in Villard Hall yesterday afternoon on the subject, “What Is Life For and What Can We Do With It.” The Bishop spoke to the young women about missionary work, both at home and abroad and told of his own experience with Eddy, a mission ary, who finally persuaded him, against his will, to go to India. The Bishop divided missionary fields into three parts: That closely at home; that farther away in our own country; and foreign missionaries. He gave an interesting illustration of home mission work out in Eastern Oregon, by telling of an incident which happened in a small town far from a railroad. In speaking of the men, he said, “There probably had never been a preacher among those men. They were sheep herders, cow punchers, and miners, men of red blood and high spirits, who had not time to carry Bibles and pray. When I went among them, I sat on the counter of the little store and told stories and when I told them I was a preacher, they laughed and said they didn’t believe it. And they really meant to compliment me.” The bishop smiled and concluded his story by telling how he had persuaded the sa loonkeepers to close their saloons and attend his meeting. After telling of his life among the children of the slums of New York, the bishop ended his speech by ap pealing to young women to go into missionary work. “For,” he said, “it is only by helping God to help other people that we can find our greatest joy and contentment.” Self Government, which has been the ambition of the students at the University of Iowa for several years, was endorsed recently by the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and by the president of the university.
