SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1913,
LET'S <JKT ACQUAINTED.
Masque dances seem to be the fa
vorite form of amusement in the
Junior and Senior classes, but th<
Seniors have gone the third-year men
one better and have followed the ex
ample of the class of 1913, In plan
ning a lottery dance to take place
early in the second semester. Tilt
idea is a good one and there is no
reason why the success of last year's
Senior party should not be dupli
cated.
Two main advantages in tills may
be mentioned, it furnishes a ready
means for the members of the clast
to get thoroughly acquainted, and the
method of selecting partners makes
it almost certain that every man and
woman in the class will attend.
Hut now that the example has been
set why cannot the student body take
the hint and model at least a few oi
its functions on this general plan',
it lias often been complained that
even the Informal varsity dances giv
en in tlu. gymnasium are inclined to
be rather stiff affairs, that the crowd
does not mingle, but on the contrary
separates into groups and presents
the appearance and the actuality of
several parties going on in one room.
Then, too, only about fifty per cent
of the men and women of Oregon
ever turn out on an occasion of this
kind, which should offer the best op
portunlt) for the Oregon students to
come to know each other. It is per
haps the only supplement to the
scanty intercourse of tin* class room.
Social life at institutions of learn
ing is too often frowned on by those
who view matters from the outside
but as a matter of course, it Is ab
swlutely necessary to tli.it knowledge
of one another on which the strength
of the stg4eni body, that is to say.
the spirit of the college in reality,
depends. This in its turn may seem
trivial, but it is on the interest made
possible for and displayed by the stu
dent, in the affairs of the undergrad
uate hod.', that the part of Ill's edu
cation depends, so often spoken of
as “not derived from books."
Oregon et udents are not ac
quainted as they should t)6. They
have not the luiowledse of each other
and the sympathy on which a firm
union must he baaed, i' the same
democratic effect can ho brougnt
about for the student body by a lot
tery dance as that shown at last
year’s Senior party, then by ail
means let’s try one for the four com
bined classes of the University, is
well as for that class which will soon
cease to exist as an undergrauate
body.

PRACTICE TEACHING
CLASSES ORGANIZED
Prof. Howe Starts Senior Stu
dents to Work Instructing
the Freshmen
Classes in practice teaching have
been organized during the past week
by Professor Howe. This has been
done partly through the requests
which have been made by Seniors
who wish to have some practical ex
perience in teaching before begin
ning their teaching on the outside.
Teaching in the High school has
been done to a limited extent here
some work in the grades, but there
has been difficulty experienced in
securing enough classes where the
Seniors might teach.
The Freshman class which meets
under Professor Iiowe on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays is seventy
five in number. Professor Howe has
divided this class into ten or twelve
livislons and immediately after the
regular class, the Senior teachers
take charge of the practice class. The
work of file Seniors is to teach the
Freshman how to study.
I)r. Schmidt stated that he thought
that next year the same system would
he instituted in the German depart
ment, With the large classes in all
'he first year work, it is probable
that next year will see it installed
In more departments than English
and German.
Maud Mastlck, Marjorie Rankin,
Olga l’oulson and Edith Clements are
the Seniors who are teaching at
present.
SOPHOMORE “HOP” LAST

Effect
’ The dance committee has been
working for the past two months and
ill preliminary plans have been made
for the dance Saturday night," stat
'd Chester Miller, chairman of the
Sophomore hop committee, today.
"As the dance occurs a short time
before the holidays, the scheme of

day effect. Flowers, evergreens and
artificial decorations will lie used
profusely. Special attention is being
paid to tlie decoration of the punch
room and the condition of the floor.
"The committee has been divided
into several suh-eouunittees and each
sub-committee is taking charge or a
particular phase of the dance. Work
on the decoration of the gymnasium
will begin Friday afternoon.
"11endershott s orchestra lias been
secured and we have made arrange
nents to obtain the latest dance
music.
"In the way of features, we have
everal stunts 'that have never been
ittioinpted here before.
"Punch will lie served in sanitarv
o '•
cups, encased in neat nickel holders.
This is a considerable improvement
over the win in which punch has
been served at past dances."
Patrons and patronesses for the
hop include: Dr. and Mrs. John
Straub, l'rof. and Mis. John E. Ro
vnrd. Dr. and Mrs. W M Smith, Mi
ami Mrs. Hugo liozdek. Mrs. E. S.

One of tin* most curious customs at
Purdue is the annual parade of up
perclassmen before the openiug foot
ball game. The seniors make their
initial appearance in oordurox and
I the juniors make their debut in new
| 'lass hats.
A full-sired baseball diamond can

Combined Journalism Classes
Hear Edward Curran Talk
About Papers
Forty years of newspaper work
have not lowered the enthusiasm of
Edward Curran, editor of the Clarke
County Sun, who talked to the com
bined classes of journalism Friday
afternoon
'Newspapermen, like poets, are
born, not made,” Mr. Curran said.
"A little germ, that exists in some
people will make newspaper men out
of them if they will hut try hard
enough. But to develop this germ—
to change the blood in the veins to
printer’s ink—it is necessary to have
preparation, equipment and charac
ter.”
The preparation can be obtained
through colleges and by gettin;
cheek to cheek with life, according
to Mr. Curran. "Go where men cus:
and fume and swear,” he advised
"There you will see what men are
like. Go into the mines or on ship
hoard.”
A newspaper man must have char
acter, he said. Me must be just, hon
est, and must have high purposes.
He must have sympathy with all the |
classes of life—and through this!
sympathy he can gain Hundreds - f
friends for himself and for his paper.
He told how the newspaper sways
opinion what, a responsibility it was
for a man to attempt to run a news
paper. Ho paid a tribute to the pro
fession, how it was respected, and
how every door was opened to a
newspaper man.
$1 200 would start a man as the
owner of a newspaper, he said. Ev
ery newspaperman who tries hard
and conscientiously to succeed will
be able to make from $100 to $200
a month from tHe small country pa
per the kind that $1200 would buy.
