W E ENTERTAIN
The two great annual events of the
year, Junior Week-End and Com
monwealth Day, are to be celebrated
within the next two weeks. Roth are
of importance to the University and
both deserve the highest success.
There is no reason why we cannot
make them occasions of which we may
long be proud.
The purposes of Junior Week-End
are primarily to bring the institution
before the attention of prospective
students and to entertain visiting
friends. We throw aside work and
care for a day or two and allow jollity
and good fellowship to reign supreme.
Still in the midst of our merry-mak
ing we must remember that our visit
ors recognize us as University men
and women, distinguished from school
boys and girls; they expect a differ
ent tone to the affairs of an institu
tion such as this. Let us make sure
that they are not disappointed in the
least degree in the type of student, in
the standard of conduct and in the
general mien and bearing which they
will find. This can be done without
detracting in the least from the suc
cess of the holiday.
Commonwealth Day serves a differ
ent function. It is the time when we
devote our entire attention to prob
lems concerning the welfare of the
State. We will have at the Univer
sity at that time the men of author
ity upon state questions. All citizens
from far and near are invited to at
tend the lectures and discussions. Es
pecially is it imperative that all stu
dents shall avail themselves of this
opportunity, for nowhere else can
they receive better preparation for the
fulfillment of their duty to the com
monwealth. As a means to this end
it might be suggested that the various
departments, such as Economics, Edu
cation, and Journalism, give written
quizzes upon the subject matter of
the lectures in their own fields of
work. In manv cases such material
is more valuable than that obtained
from reference books, because here
we have it up-to-date, and first hand
from men actively engaged in the
various lines of endeavor. Invitations
should l>i* extended broadcast to peo
ple over the State by all connected
with the University.
Although distinct and serving dif
ferent purposes, Week-End and Com
monwealth Day both deserve the
heartv support of every student and
true loyalty will demand the co-oper
ation of everyone to make these oc
casions the most successful of the
year.
A i'l.KASrUAHI.K INNOVATION
The plan of the Junior Pi on com
mittee to alternate tho dances be
tween uppor and lower classes is a
clever and practicable solution of an
old difficulty. Tho crowded condi
tion of tho floor in years past has
caused considerable discomfort and
tho action of tho committee "'ill do
much to remedy this.
By arranging a promenade with
palms and chairs on the west roof of
the Gym. a great deal can bo added to
the enjoyment of the occasion, and
it will be no hardship upon the men
to give up every other dance for the
sake of greater pleasure to our j
guests.
There may be no way of strictly en- !
forcing the arrangement, still the rea- ;
sonableness and wisdom of the plan j
will appeal to all and the committee j
will have no difficulty in carrying
out its plans.
NOVEL SCHEME TO BE
INTRODUCED AT PROM
lighting Effects Will Divide Dancers
and Give Everybody a Chance
to Enjoy Dance
The members of the Junior Prom
Committee, which have charge of the
Junior Prom to be held in the Gym
nasium Saturday night at 8:30
o’clock, as the closing event of Junior
Week-end, are practically agreed on
a scheme which they have worked out
to do away with the old crowded con
ditions that are always present at
this affair and give everybody a
chance to enjoy themselves.
The plan at present is to have
green and white lighting effects, the
green to be displayed alternately
with the white. When the green is
on the upperclassmen will dance, and
when the white is on the underclass
men will take their turn. In order
to avoid confusion, this plan will ap
ply to the men only, and the girls will
dance according to their programs.
The guests of the occasion will dance
as they may desire.
The dance will he double, tnat is
two waltzes and then two two-steps,
so that no one will be compelled to
dance all two-steps or all waltzes.
The members of the committee
which has charge of the programs
and music are: Earl Fortmiller,
Florence Avery, Eva Brock, and
Katherine Carson.
WOMEN WILL BE TAGGED
ON CAMFUS TOMORROW
University women should bring at
least fifteen cents to classes tomor
row if they wish to join in the tag
day spirit. The tags, which will be
sold only to women, . *' ■ the pro
ceeds will be used to defray the ex
penses of the referendum booklet soon
to be published. The Agora Club has
been instrumental in compiling ma
terial for the booklet and will have
charge of the affair tomorrow.

that they had carefully prepared their
mtorruptiono of the subject. The
Freshmen stayed close to facts and
met. their opponent's argument in a
forceful manner, while the Sopho
