U. OF W. SORORITIES ADOPT NEW RULES Women Will Use Methods of Rushing in Vogue Among Fraternities University of Wash., Jan. 14, 1914.—A radical departure in the system of sorority rushing now m effect among the the local Greek co ed societies will be adopted in Feb ruary, when the open matriculation rush will take the place of the . old two weeks of entertainment and for mal invitationsisent through the dean of women. Faculty objection to the present system, which has been observed for so long, was one of the important reasons for a change. Two weeks’ entertainment was too much of. a financial strain on the young women, and the time spent, too much of a sacrifice from regular college work. Too, the rushees gained a wrong im pression of college life. The sororities had two open courses, one to adopt the open ma triculation pledge and the other to try semester pledging. There is a certain support for the latter plan, and college women say that it will probably be adopted next year. Under the matriculation pledging plan, certain rules have been laid down by the Pan-Hellenic associa tion, which distinguish it from the methods of the men. Each sorority may ask a rushee for a matricula tion date, and only one “sister” may help the rushee register. No soror ity is to have two consecutive dates, and but one date can be made ahead. First dates shall be limited to three hours; from 12 o’clock till 3 shall be luncheon date, from 3 o’clock till 6, afternoon date, and from 6 o’clock till 9, dinner date. oooo oooo'ooooo ooooo O o o EXCHANGES. o o 0 OOOOO 00 ooooooooooo Princeton—The management of the university dining halls announces they serve 2,415 meals in a day.

During the storms whfch accurred the latter part of December a tidal wave swept away part of the road bed of the P. R. & N. railway. With the steamer service between Tillamook Bay and Astoria uncertain on ac count of the rough weather the only recourse left McMillan was to walk up the coast to Seaside—a distance of thirty miles, there take the train to Portland, and thence to Eugene. McMillan left Garibaldi in ample time to reach college on Monday, Jan. 5, under ordinary conditions, but unfortunate circumstances de layed him until last Monday night. Crossing the Nehalem river by ferry, McMillan took the Neah-Kah-ni mountain trail for a distance of twelve miles to the lower end of Can non beach. The trail was washed out in many places, and frequently ob structed by fallen trees, which placed the student in constant danger. He safely accomplished the journey over the trail only to face new dangers in traveling up Cannon beach. First he was compelled to crawl around Hug Point—a feat which is now con sidered dangerous even in the sum mer unless conditions are favorable! The high tides and running seas; which are unusually high this win ter, made traveling difficult, espec ially where it was necessary for Mcf Millan to pass between cliffs and the ocean. McMillan’s sister, who attends the Oregon Agricultural College was un able to make the trip and will there* by loose a semester’s credit. The railroad will not be in opera tion again for over a month, and in the meanwhile the only communicai-* tion between the Tillamook Bay and the outside world will be by means of the uncertain freighter service be tween Garibaldi and Astoria. POWER OF RADIUM DOUBTED Efficacy as Cure for Cancer Is Not a New Discovery. University of Pennsylvania, Jan. 8.—Following the announcement of the efficacy of radium as a cure for ■Cancer, made at the college of physi cians by Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Johns Hopkins and Dr. Robert Abbe of New York, a number of prominent Philadelphia physicians made very hopeful and encouraging statements as to their belief in the ultimate cure of the dread disease by this method. Dr. H. K. Pancoast of the Univer sity hospital refused to comment on the announcement, but did say that his experiments had not shown ra dium to be more efficient than the ordinary X-Ray in cases of cancerous growth. “Radium has been used • in the treatment of cancer for the last ten years,” he said, “and has been more or less of a success as a cure. There was nothing remarkable in the sto ries of Dr. Abbe and Kelley as far as newnes sof discovery was concerned. They merely gave a symposium of their success .with .radium, and, be ing experts in their line, their experi ments were well worth listening to."

SENIORS’S RAILROAD FARE AMOUNTS TO $45 MONTHLY Peter Crockett Holds Down Preaching Job While At tending University Forty-five dollars a month rail road fare to attend the University lets a new record for expense ac counts. % However, it costs Peter Crockatt, a Senior from Pendleton, at least that much every month and will continue to do so the remainder of the year. Crockajt is the Christian minister at Wasco, Oregon, about one hundred and eighty miles east of Portland. He spends the week-end, from Sat urday morning at 2 to Monday at midnight, making his trip to and from 'Wasco, where he preaches two sermons on Sundays. Next semester he intends to carry twenty-two hours of college work and perform his duties as pastor, be sides entering into oratorical work. At present he is working on an ora tion for the coming tryouts. Two years ago, Crockatt was the star de bater of the University, but has been compelled to stay out of college since then. Too late for debate this year, he is going into oratory, where his ministerial experience may be of value. ALL MEN DOWNSTAIRS AT BASKET-BALL GAMES Order of “0” to Form Block in the Center of the Ore gon Rooters From the Order of the “O”, and the Seniors—who are co-operating— comes the announcement that for the coming basket ball games, the seats downstairs will be held for the men, and that men sit elsewhere at the peril of severe reprimand. The members of the Order of the “O” will always sit downstairs in a block “O,” with the balance of the rooters surrounding the'm. This action is in pursuance of an agitation which is on foot to cut out reserve seats for the men and allow the women the whole front row in the balcony, with probably a section reserved for townspeople who attend the games. This with the ultimate purpose of establishing a custom of all men sitting downstairs, and rooting together. The band will be on hand at each game to assist the rooters.

Booth' of Waterburg, Conn. Here is part of it: “What a splendid thing it is to oc cupy your time in this way. It takes your mind off your troubles and re lieves the hopelessness which it seems to me must be in any man’s heart placed as you are. My heart aches for all who are in such a posi tion. Better men than those outside, many times. “I wish all prisoners were as wise • is you and would take up some study in which they are interested. “I wish you all success, and hope you will find kind friends when your term is end?d.” Web’s, McDonald’s and O’Brien’s candy at Obak’s.
