ALU MNAE^SO CIATIO N HOLDS MEETING TODAY Keeping in Touch With Girls at the University is the Object of Local Organization “Keeping in touch with girls in need of funds to attend the Univorsity of Oregon," is the object of the Eugene Alumnae Association,” said Miss Anne Whiteaker ,the presiding officer of the organization, which held their monthly meeting today at the home of Miss Bertha Comings. "This local organization of woman graduates came into existence five years ago, and is entirely independent of the general state Association of Alumnae." "The meetings are held on the sec ond Saturday of every month, and whenever possible someone of prom inence is secured to speak, o rpresent a paper. Every year the women of the two upper classes of the Univer sity are entertained by the alumnae; the Juniors in April, and Seniors the following month. "Aside from the regular work dur ing the last year, $60 was raised and contributed toward the proposed Wo man’s Building for the University. Out of our own funds a reception was given to Mis, (lerlinger, wife of the newly appointed Regent." The officers elected last fall were: Miss Anne Whiteaker, ’SI, Preseident; Mrs. O. I'. Stafford, Nice President; Mrs. Edna Datson, 12, Secretary Treasurer; and Miss Greta Bristow, ’09, Corresponding Secretary. "The association sincerely regrets the loss of one of its most active‘mem bers, Mrs, I., T. Harris. Judge Har ris’ election to the Supreme Court ne cessitated their moving to Salem." PHONEY MONEY FLOWS AT GREEK GATHERING (Continued from page 1.) Black Joe so effectively thug tho coon, behind the piano, nearly wept. Enormous quantities of cider and sandwiches were consumed, vast for tunes lost at roulette and other gam bling games, and all expenses were paid out of the funds received for the "phoney." Sam Cook was crowned king of gamblers, he having won $4,600. PRE-MEDICS ORGANIZE Twelve Members in Society Formed to Create Interest in Medicine The latest society to make its ap pearance on the campus is Pi Sigma Phi, an honorary Pre-Medic fraterni ty, which was organized in the fore part of December, but whose existence was not announced until today. It is°. composed of upperclassmen and Sophomores majoring in the Pre Medical Department. Freshmen arp not eligible. The purpose of the fraternity is to create more interest among its mem bers in their chosen course. Open meetings will be held every two weeks, at which time lectures on various phases of medicine and the medical profession will be given by members of the faculty and local physicians. The official pin of Pi Sigma Phi is a coiled snake of gold, on which are stamped the Greek characters of the society. At present there are twelve stu dent members. They are: Daniel Boone, Dean Crowell, Ray Sweeney, Donald Nickelsen, Charles Newcastle, Wayne Stater, Russell Ralston, Jo seph Sheahan, Harold Fitzgibbon, Frank Scaiefe and Edmund Simmons. Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, of the De partment of Psychology has been elected to membership in the frater nity. PROHIBITION LEAGUE IS UP IN THE AIR — The Prohibition League which was organized upon the campus last month j I is rather up in the air. The members! have just found out that they must pay a tax of a quarter of a dollar per member to the state league, and the same amount to the national league. The local league was formed at the re quest of those at the head of forensics,! so that the University could send a representative to the state and na tional prohibition oratorical contests. Without a campus organization no in-1 stitution can compete in these con-* tests. Since the local league was formed for this purpose and since or atory is a student-body activity, the! members of the club are trying to per- ■ suade Mr. Tiffany to pay the necessary tax from the Student Body funds. The local league is also supposed to pay the expenses of the representative to the state contest and the members also rebel against this, claiming that the Student Body should stand the ex pense. So far Mr. Tiffany has refused the requests of the league. The state contest takes place some time in March or April, and the na tional contest in the summer or fall. Not only are the men of the fresh man class at Oklahoma compelled to wear distinctive caps, but the co-eds as well wear regulation red tam-o’ shanters. Jim Donnelly, Yale’s campus po liceman and the most popular charac ter about the University, died here re cently in his sixty-third year. Several months ago he was taken ill with heart trouble, and for the past six months has been seen on the campus only in i’ requently. “The Sunlight Dance'’ is the latest. It was held at the University of Min nesota last week one bright afternoon in a large hall, the windows and doors j of which were wide open .to “let the sun shine in.” ■ " ..IV O Dr. \V. M.

M. Smith, Secretary to the President, who has gathered complete data concerning the finances of the members of the graduating class. The financial cen sus of the remaining classes in the University will be ready some time in April, Dr. Smith states.

Among the girls, 45 per cent have been partly or wholly self-supporting, and have paid 47 per cent of their entire per sonal expenses. The men, with homes out of Eugene, average $458 per year for entire ex penses, including room and board. The women, $520. Of those living at home the average expense is $165. Room and board in fraternities av erage $24.80 per month. In the so rorities, $25.58. Those in private houses, the Dormitory and Mary Spil ler. Hall included, $20.40 per month.

Smith, Secretary to the President. “The concrete work is fin ished and the men are now laying the granite base preparatory to starting the brick work.” The Boyajohn Arnold Co. are the contractors. At present there are 20 mt.i working, among whom is C. E. Meek, ’14, who was graduated in the Civil Engineering Department here. The building itself is three stories high.

The co-eds of the University of Cal ifornia eat more than one and a half tons of chocolate creams in a school year, according to figures compiled by the local co-operative store, which enjoys most of the student patronage.
