WHEN FLOOR SPACE IS LIMITED
The members of the Freshman
class are to be congratulated upon
their party at the Gymnasium Satur
day night. The decorations were
beautiful, the floor good, the program
well selected. Everyone had a good
time, as the expressions of enjoyment
and gratification amply showed.
There was present, however,
through no fault of the Freshmen,
evidence of tendency to make the
class dance semi-public functions, to
which guests from Eugene and out
of town, and alumni, may be invited
by anyone connected with the Univer
sity. The crowded condition of the
floor during the early dances Satur
day night emphasized the fact that
the classes of the University must
soon face the problem of whether
this custom shall be allowed to
grow.
Members of the present Senior
class have distinct recollection of
how, when University functions were
held in the old Armory, invitations to
anyone not connected with the Uni
versity were frowned upon, and of
what a fuss was made when the
present gymnasium, with its more
capacious floor, was occupied and
non-University people came to class
dances. The custom of permitting
non University people to attend class
dances has grown up in the last three
years and has not yet the sanctity of
tradition.
When a class dance is given, the
members of one class dig down into
their pockets to provide entertain
ment for the other members of the
University, who are its invited guests
and who do not have the right to in
vite whomever they wish. Each man
owes it to tin- rest of the students to
see that a University girl attends.
When another is invited, it means
simply that some University girl is
deprived of her invitation and her
right to attend. And when a non
University man attends, even with a
college girl, he is helping himself to
entertainment to which he has not
been invited. This is putting it
plainly, but it is the essential situa
tion nevertheless.
At all of the larger Universities
the class tlanees are limited strictly
to members of the das; yivingf the
dance, and evi ryone else is excluded.
Thi' institution has not yet reached
the i/.e which h-mands such a meas
ure, but the dav not far distant
i card to in

vited i nests at

integrity i f oi. collegi “affairs’*
should be maintab ■ i. It is tradi
tional, as any of the Old Grads will
tell, to have no guests at class
dances.
If Oregon students were wealthy
enough to afford it, and were provid
ed with a floor large enough to make
it possible, they would like to enter
tain guests at nearly all of their
functions. There is nothing that they
would exchange for their envi
able reputation for hospitality. We
throw the whole University open to
our guests every year, even to the
extent of providing a formal dance,
from which many University people
voluntarily stay in order that it may
not be too crowded for the enjoyment
of our visitors But under exist
ing conditions, the tradition that
class dances are class affairs,
and that it is imposing on good na
tured hospitality for others than the
invited guests of these classes to at
tend, is one which the University may
well take pride in maintaining.

o WHAT THE COLLEGE o
o EDITORS ARE SAYING o
loooooooooooo
_
“THOSE COLD CLASS ROOMS”
“Now we are not strong: for an
overheated room and we dearly love
our fresh air, but there are times
when even fresh air has too great a
price. Some class rooms to our
i knowledge have been as low as forty
two degress because a pony-coated, fur
hat co-ed whispered loud enough for
some chivalrous boob to hear, that
she was warm. A nervous and con
stantly moving instructor can gener
! ate enough heat by his activity to be
unable to understand that the un
coated male student is sitting in one
spot and freezing because some girl
is too indolent, or too vain, or too
carelessly dressed to remove her
coat. Some red-blooded individuals
can sit in a zero-minus draft and en
joy it, but the are others among us
who have a cat-like but happy enjoy
ment of warmth.
“All hail the man who has the cour
age to rise and shut the window in
spite of the glare of an instructor,
his best girl and the rest of the
class. There is something in his
calm protection of the comfort of the
abused and timid many, that forces
heartfelt thanks. We are using this
column then to thank the thin, thin
lipped, thinner-haired gentleman who
closed the window in a class this
morning. May his grade be an Ex
as his intelligence deserves, and not
the poor the instructor’s glance prom
ised.”—Wisconsin Daily News.
THE BAND
“Several complaints have been heard
among several members of the band
because of the deplorable state of af
fairs that is existing among this or
ganization at the present time. Ev
eryone agreed during the football
season that Drake had one of the best
bands in her history but at the pres
ent time many of the members have
failed to appear at practice. The at
tendance at the practice hours result
ed in the excellent music that was
heard at the Stadium in the fall.
“There are many important univer
sity affairs during the remainder of
the year where the presence of the
band is an absolute essential to make
the entertainment a success. Espe
cially at the many meets that will be
held here in the spring, we must have
the band. There are many more oc
casions when the band is needed in
the students’ activities. It is to be
hoped that the organization will take
new life and show as much pep as it
did last fall.”—Drake Daily Delphic.
“CO-EDUCATION IN COLLEGES”
“Lake Forest college is to begin a
system of gradual separation of the
young men and young women who
now enjoy its educational advantages
in mixed classes. It. is the intention
of the college trustees eventually to
create separate organizations for men
and women in each of the four col
lege classes.
"Co-education is not so much in ta
vor ns it was a few years afro, and it
seems destined to become less fa
vored. Theoretically , it is ideal;
practically, it causes too much flirt
iii.tr and distraction from studies.
Most of the state universities ding: to
it, but even they, it seems probable,
will spring into line with those who
while advocating: plenty of social life
of wholesome sort, in which the
two sexes may come together, believe
education is best served by separate
classes.
“The University of Chicago, after
trying very liberally co-education,
adopted a policy of separation. We
are much inclined in our new world
life to experiment in all things, and
some novelties prove desirable, but as
we grow older we realize that cer
tain customs, methods and ideas have
value because they represent a test
ing and sifting process through many
centuries of race experience.”—Rec
ord Herald.
"W'HKKK BOOSTINC, IS AYllMTF"
“The conference of the editors and
the business managers of the Ohio
college papers brought out many fea
tures that show where Ohio State is
deficient in the interest she takes in
her college paper. Because of the cir
cumstances the Lantern has recog
nized merit, but as yet many of the
progressive measures that make the
paper more a part of the school have
not been instituted.
“At Cace every student is com
pelled to subscribe for the paper when
' he registers. This is a result of the
budget for student activities which
has proven very popular. Practically
the same system prevails at little Ken
yon. At Reserve the editors are
granted “R’s,” while at Ohio Wes
leyan, Miami, Kenyon and Ohio Uni
versity, the chiefs of the staffs are
given general college credit.
“These things show what some in
stitutions think of their papers and
of their influence on student activities.
These examples serve a good lesson
for our friends, whether they be stu
dents, faculty, or what not, who never
see a proposition except in the nar
rowest possible view. A mild sug
gestion is that people who are both
ered by restricted vision open their
eyes to conditions as they exist else
where. Encouragement as an offset
to destructive criticism is at least a
fair idea.”—Ohio State Lantern.
STANFORD SCORES U. OF C.
FOR QUITTING RUGBY UNION
“On the first page of this paper is
found the complete statement of the
California Rugby Union in regard to
the resignation of the University of
California. As usual, the Union sets
forth every phase of the affair in a
clear and impartial manner. There is
no attempt to hoodwink the readers
and give false impressions.
“After carefully reviewing all sides
of the matter, there is only one con
clusion to be reached. The Rugby
Union was completely justified in the
action they took.
i ne reasons given tor the resigna
tion are laughable. To require a Cali
fornia representative on every com
mittee of the Union because that in
stitution has more members than any
of the others, is farcical. The sug
gestion that the Union be nothing
more than an arbitration board, is a
weak-kneed excuse for their action.
The difficulty that Inter-collegiate
Arbitration Committees have in reach
ing any conclusion when there are
only two institutions concerned, makes
such a scheme appear ridiculous when
we think of the merry time if eight
arbitration boards got together, each
with the determination to get every
thing for their constituents.
“As for California, we do not be
lieve that the majority of the mem
bers of that institution would have
consented to the withdrawal had the
uncolored facts been presented to the
associated students for ratification.
“Again we repeat, California is only
spiting herself.”—Daily Palo Alto.
DR. WILLIAMS DISCRIBES
GRAND CANYON ANI) YOSEMITE
“The Grand Canyon of Arizona and
the Yoseinite Valley of California,”
is to be the subject of an educational
travel talk by Dr. C. D, Williamson,
in Villard Hall, Monday evening, Feb
ruary 24, at 8 o’clock. The talk will
be illustrated by two hundred painted
transparencies of scenes in these
wonderlands of the West.
Dr. Williamson is reputed to be a
very interesting' speaker, combining’
in his talks the fact and fiction about
the different wonders he has seen
and photographed in a way that
makes them most realistic to the lis
tener. He has just completed a very
successful tour of Southern Califor
nia, speaking twenty times in Los
Angeles.
No admission will be charged, and
no collection taken. The talk is pre
sented to the students and townspeo
ple by the University.
Y. \V. C. A. Officers Installed.
The Y. W. C. A. meeting Monday
afternoon was a business meeting.
After the reports of the various com
mittees for the past year were given,
the new officers for the coming year
were installed. The chairmen of the
committees which compose the cab
inet were then charged with their
duties.
As an inducement to pay their
Freshman class dues, at the Columbia
University, a three dollar pipe is
given to those who show a receipt.
If the amount is paid before the tenth
•>f the month, a half pound can of to
bacco is also given free.
If you are not an employee of Co
lumbia University, you could not at
tend the Annual Ball of the Colum
bia University Employees’ Associa
tion, held February 3. at that institu
tion.
