The Hesitation waltz ami the one stop have been acepted by the Ore gon students, an was evidenced at yesterday’s matinee dance. The Tango was not in evidence, but a gen eral enthusiasm was manifested over the new steps seen for the first time at a varsity dance, and a general de sire on the part of the uninitiated to learn the mysteries. Hut it Is not hard to foresee a dif ficulty In the path of the dancers. Not that, "he who hesitates Is lost,” ns one co-ed remarked yesterday, but that he who •hesitates must make sure that his partner hesitates In tin same way as he does. There were at least three different steps to this variety of waltz on ex hibition during the Sophomore party Friday, and at least as many more arc known to ho in existence. So that It seems as If a knowledge of all would he necessary for a satisfactory performance. A better solution, however, lies in the selection an .1 general acceptance of one or two of the more popular steps. The dance is thus offered for some of tiu> University’s patriotic students to perform a real service to the m mbors of the student body by choosing and dancing the best of the varieties, and In this way giving an example which will sooner or later crystallize Into custom and result In the standardization of the hesitation. HOl.lHNti Ol’lt OWN. Visa (hippy's statement, on her re turn from the Conference of Deaus held In Chicago, that the University et cieg n Is holding Its own with ether in titutions of the'kind, Is high ly en 'tinging. Tli re has been toi much of a tendency on the part of c l, i n.us and. what is more Import ant. n (■• itlve’y speaking, on the part <■ ; ;ii ■ ii ■ of this st ite and of others cn the l’aci ic Coast, to regard west ern untversitii S as inferior to those i i tint section of the country lying on the tar si ie of the Mississippi, ltuf now tilts idea should be dispelled. In regard to the advantages of fer l iu regard to student aitivities, and in regur I te the class of studeuts, Oregon is holding Its own. Let us hope that tin* day is not far distant w lien the prejudice in favor of Instl iut’ons not r ndlly within reach will he banished. Let us look forward to the time when Oregon will be gener ally considered good enough for Ore gonians. Lined Briley is a week-end guest at tlie Fiji House.

The time for the dreaded first se mester examinations'draws to a close, and in a fever of excitement we make one grand effort to bring our marks from an “F” to an “H.” The O. A. C. Barometer has the following timely advice for the eleventh-hour ’boner”: "The home stretch is now before us. Only four more weeks and the final examinations for the semester will keep us awake nights. Ftor many who will leave the Institution it the end of this period, it will be lie last of their college education. 'The test always comes on the home stretch. If one can sprint on he finish, and win out, he is, in deed, to lie classed among the unus ual, but most of us have to make our best time on the grinding laps that irecede the finish. So now, with the home stretch clear before us, let us get in some good hard work, and ilace a safe lead between us and the dreaded ’F’ before the final sprint mines with its examinations. "Vacations are always welcome, hut they undoubtedly break into the routine of things. Howswer, every one, of course, slept well, rested up, has stored up sufficient energy dur ing the two weeks to carry them through the coming period without my difficulty. So let us start in low, and get into tilings as we have never gotten in before, and finish the semester in a proverbial blaze of ;lory.” ( Ill lt( II IHIIKC'TOHY.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY FOR GRADUATES WANTED Recent Convention in Washing ton Favors Plan of Having Big School A resolution, urging congress 10 make an appropriation for the pur pose of establishing a National Uni versity, for graduate s'tudeuts, at Washington D. C., pass d by a unan imous vote at the recent convention of State Universities held in Wash ington. This convention has at many previous times, expressed itself as in favor of founding such an institution. The proposition has been brought be fore congress several times, but ow ing to the large amount of other busi ness congress has never taken defin ite action, except to create a com mittee. The proposal of the National Con vention of State Universities is for the federal government to appropri ate tunds for establishing and main taiinpng such an institution. The members of the convention also an ticipate that large sums will Ik ter be given by private individuals. Those advocating the National University point out that in Wash ington are unlimited resources for carrying on study and investigation in all lines of human knowledge. Here is located the Congressional Library, the Smithsonian Institute, bureaus of all kinds, Congress and the Supreme Court. They .y serf these opportunities should be taken advantage of by the nation. Probably the Universities which have graduate schools will oppose a National Institution, as they have in the past, but the answer is, that a national University would supple mentary and would not substitute. I “resident Campbell states that "he is heartily in favor of the plan” and that he "believes it would be of great benefit and use to the nation." Bti The College People’s Store FOR STYLE.
