AGGIES BANISH CLAW HAMMER COST AND EMBARRASSMENT^ LEAD TO BA$RINGk 6f EVENING DRESS COLLEGE OPINION DIVIDED Barometer Predicts That the Question Will Be a Live One Statemens of Students Are Printed. Oregon Agricultural College, April 22.—At a recent meeting of the student body, resolutions pro hibiting the wearing of dress suits at all college social functions, were passed by the students. The resolu tions are as follows: “Whereas, the practice of wearing dress suits at social functions at O. A. C. necessitates an expense beyond the means of the majority of stu dents, and “Whereas; in the paBt considerable embarrassment has resulted from the practice, therefore “Be it resolved, that the student body place itself on record as being opposed to the wearing of dress suits by under-gra'duates, at all col iege functions, and “Be it further resolved, that any one so doing shall merit the disap proval of this assembly.” The passage of this ruling has. stirred up a furore in the social cir cles of the college and from the present outlook, says the O. A. C, Barometer, the question will be a live one before it is finished. Much comment both favorable and unfavorable is being made upon the subject. College sentiment varies between the -following extremes, as quoted by the O. A. C. Barometer: Louis P. Gambee: “There is no doubt in my mind that the man with out a dress suit is at a disadvantage, and1 I think that the few men who do own them should, be willing to sacrifice h. little in order that there can be no possibility of class distinc tion. Personally, however, 1 don’t care whether everybody in college wears a dress suit but myself.” Ray Nicholson: “I’m going to wear full dress and I think that ev erybody else will that can scrape one up. That deal was railroaded through.” Francis Neer: “Those who argue that dress suits are not in keeping with agriculturists argue outside of the question. This is not an agricul tural college, but a technical college. Furthermore, no true gentleman would ever question another’s dress as long as he remains within the bounds of decency prescribed by so ciety.” R. M. Howard: “I am thoroughly in favor with the resolutions and be lieve that they should and will be enforced.” Peggy Atherton: "If men have the dress suits they should wear them and add a little culture to the college, not cultivate the crudeness of a hayseed institution. Because this is an institution where farming is taught is no reason that we should dress as farmers.” Prof. A. F. Reddle, of the Depart ment of Public speaking Is spending this week giving readings to the high schools in eastern Oregon. Mrs. J. F. Thorne Is directing the rehearsals of “The Professor’s Love Story” and the Senior play, during his absence.
