STANDARDIZING 1 HE HESITA
TION.
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.

HOME STRETCH.
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.”

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."
