ORAGANA ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IS STARTED Manager Secures Portland Bus iness. Work on Book Is Begun Durnig Ben Dorris’ stay in Port land during the Thanksgiving holi days, three hundred and twenty dol lars worth of advertising was secured and as much more is expected after the first of the year. Advertising is very hard to solicit, as business is slow and merchants are doubtful about the Oregana as far as the ad vertising is concerned. Henry Trow bridge, Assistant Manager, secured several important ads while in Port land. The size of the book has been def initely settled at eight by ten and a half inch pages. One hundred pound weight Warrens Lustre Enamel paper will probably be selected, this being fifty per cent heavier than the paper used last year. Editor Hendricks fig ures on about five hundred to five hundred and twenty pages, and in tends to bind the book in green leath er or in a combination of green leath er over the hinge with the balance of the boards in art cloth. The art department is taking steps to secure some exclusive designs by illustrators of national fame, such as Maxfield Parrish and James Mont gomery Flagg, but this is not defin itely settled as yet. PROF. DUNN ADDRESSES CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION Head of Latin Department Rep resents Oregon at Tacoma Professor P. S. Dunn, head of the Latin department, spent Friday and Saturday of last week in Tacoma as the representative from the Univer sity of Oregon to the annual conven tion of the Classical Association or the Pacific Northwest, held in that city. Professor Dunn appeared on the program, as the author of a paper on the humor of Varro. According to the Latin instructor, his contribution to the work of the association was based mainly on a few fragmentary quotations from the Roman satirist which have been unearthed, his prin ciple works having been entirely lost. This is the third of a series which Professor Dunn is working up under the general head of Roman Wit and Humor. The next session of the classical association will be held some time during Thanksgiving week, 1914, in Portland. Corduroy skirts for girls and cor duroy trousers for the men have been adopted as the distinctive dress of the University of Indiana. The Sophomores at the Ohio State University recently won the annual inter-class football game.

HIGHER CURRICULA BOARD VISITS HERE Investigates University Engin eering Department in Particular The State Board of Higher Curri cula, composed of Dr. J. R- Wilson, Portland; Dr. C. J.(Smith, Portland; A. G. Beals, Tillamook; O. P. Co show, Roseburg, and J. E. Hodges, of Oregon City, were on the campus this afternoon and will be at the Univer sity tomorrow. The Board is investigating the conditions of the professional engi neering courses at the University and at the Agricultural College. They were in Corvallis yesterday where they made an extensive tour of the college. . While here they will be entertain ed by members of the faculty and at the Dormitory for dinner tomorrow. The Oregon Engineering students have prepared a demonstration of the different technical apparatus of the Engineering Department for the benefit of the Board. The Board has investigated the course at the Agri cultural College, and will do the same here, to decide whether or not unnecessary duplication of courses is present in the two state institutions. If such is found to be the case, engi; neering instruction will probably be confined to the Agricultural College, and the University made wholly an institution for the study of liberal arts. This has been a much mooted question in the state for years, and one of the main considerations in the advocacy of consolidation of the two schools. Under present conditions the re moval of the Oregon Engineering de partment would take away from the University a considerable number of its leading students. This would especiall be true in athletics; but nearly as much so in general leader ship of student life and activity; and would probably narrow the outlook and general scope of knowledge of students graduating from either in stitution in the future. JTTERY MASQUE DANCE IS LATEST SENIOR PLAN Purely Class Affair to Be Held Some Time After Christmas The Senior class at their meeting Wednesday morning decided to have a mask lottery dance to be given at the Kappa Sigma house some time after the Christmas holidays.

Perhaps the busiest place on the campus at present is the Women’s gymnasium. Instead of the usual Freshman class there are three classes in first year gymnastics. The Sophomore class has also grown so that it has had to be divided into two sections. The dancing classes are perhaps the most crowded and altogether there are five classes in folk danc ing. Dr. Stuart and her assistants are wholly occupied with their present duties, and they are wondering where they are going to find the time to teach swimming to the girls when the new tank is completed. A WIDE WORLD SUCCESS. Possibly no such an international success in theatricals has the record of “The Girl in the Taxi” that will be seen at the Eugene theatre next Tuesday, December 9. Every city that has any prominence has welcom ed and laughed at this rapid-fire com edy. It first came to life in Paris, where it still is a shining feature. The theatre-goers of Paris must have class well seasoned, and this comedy broke the records for long runs there. Since that time it has been translated in many languages. Par ticular old London with its quaint ways has it running yet at the Lyric theatre. Just put the date down in your hat, get your seats in the Taxi, and you like the other millions who have seen it, will rejoice for many moons.
