“Biggest Crowd in History of Uni
versity,” Say Old Timers Who
Flock to Formal
By Edison Marshall.
The Freshman Glee was quite glee
ful, according to most participants.
And all, even girl's with black-and-blue
feet from numerous troddings upon,
agreed that the dance was “keen.”
At about 8:30 the guests began to
arrive. There were a few taxicabs
in evidence—but very few, the night
being comparatively clear. Soon a
crowd of men—Frosh, in suits of
serge, and other University students
in evening dress, were waiting at the
doorway of the women's dressing room
for the women to appear. They ap
peared soon in beautiful evening
gdWns, the description of which is im
possible to mere man. The various
declarations against sending flowers
seemed to be much disregarded, as
most of‘ the women wore beautiful
bouquets.
In the hall was a decorated bower,
as if hidden in the jpidst of a wood
land. The ceiling and the walls were
massed with evergreen. From the ceil
ing hung infinite yellow daffodils, that
Freshman women had been working at
for moons. Butterflies were also sus
pended from the ceiling.
The orchestra—Hendershott’s—was
enclosed in the lattice bower in the
center.
The grand march lasted a large part
of the evening. The piece was played
through six times by actual count.
Kenneth Wilson and Mignon Allen led.
There were fifteen dances and no
extras. Each was pleasantly long,
due to the orchestra, the floor commit
tee, the music committee, and numer
ous other committees, highly enjoyed
by everyone. Two threesteps, a fox
trot that many sat out, numerous
steps, and a sprinkling of waltzes,
constituted the program.
According to the “old timers,” il
was the most largely attended dance
in the history of the University, with
the exception of the Junior Proms
Navigation was difficult at the firsl
part of the evening, resulting in manj
mashed toes, but by the feature dance
everyone had adapted themselves tc
the crowd. Those attempting new
dances of a vigorous nature were the
only ones badly bumped during the
latter part of the evening.
The feature dance differed froir
past feature dances, in that no Uni'
versity students danced it. Mrs. Do
ty and Mr. Cook, of Portland, gave ai
exhibition of fancy dancing for th<
feature. During this dance, greei
creme de menthe sherbet was served
The lighting was beautiful and har
monious—everything that goes t<
make up a successful dance was in ev
idence. One lighting feature was :
color changing 1918 above the or
chestra.

Superintendent of Grounds at Univer
sity Tells HoW to Make Western
Oregon Lawns Beautiful
Hints on beautification of the many
Western Oregon lawns that will be
made up for the first time; or worked
over anew, durin gthe spring of 1915,
are give nas follows by H. M. Sisher,
the grounds superintendent who has
produced at the University of Oregon
a campus that is the admiration of
all visitors:
“In all cases, shrubbery for a lawn
should be picked according to the size
of the dwelling. For a fair sized lawn
and a medium sized house, the rho
dodendron bush is the prettiest I can
think of. It is not only a pretty bush,
but blooms for a long interval. The
lilac bush is not a good shrub. It
sprouts and spoils the lawn and does
-not bloom through a sufficiently long
period.
“If the house is of tile or other ap
propriate material, the Boston ivy, a
creeper, is a vine that helps greatly In
beeautifying a dwelling.
“Should rose hedges be planted, the
roses should be cut back each winter
after the blooming season to prevent
the rose from becoming bushy. •
“Rose hedges are always suitable
for dwellings or lawns of any size if
they are on the sides, and a rose hedge
in front looks well if the lawn is long
and sweeping. The Caroline Testout,
the official rose of Portland, is a fair
hedge rose. If the lawn is large
enough for an arbor bower, I advise
the Dordthy Perkins rose; it serves
well as having a beautiful bloom.”
Superintendent Fisher’s lawn grass,
rose hedges and shrubbery oh the
State University campus are consid
ered among the finest in the North
west.

The committee of twelve recently
appointed by the Student Council to
take charge of the matter of Student
Body support for the Oregana wilj
meet the first of next week.
“It is impossible to have this meet

Portland on business for the year book
and will be gone all week,” said Tom
Boylen, President of the Student Body.
“Holt will attend the meeting of the
Board of Regents the latter part of

year books published throughout the
country and will recommend to the
Student Body such measures as it sees
fit after a careful and unbiased con

Boylen says further that the aim
of the committee is to give the stu

that, as voters, they may be able to
decide which is the fairest way to
cast their votes in the approaching

FRESHMEN II DEBATE
Defeat Sophomores Two to One Be
fore An Audience of Two
People
Before an audience of two people
Friday afternoon, the third annual
Freshman-Sophorome debate was won
by the Eighteeners by a two to one
decision.
The evening debate also proved dis
astrous to the Sophomores. Two of
their negative speakers failed to show
up, and at the last moment one of the
affirmative side was required to pre
sent the other’s argument. The judg
es gave a unanimous vote to the
Freshman team.
Stoddard, Thorsett and Thienes, of
the Sophomores, Denn, Thomas and
Packwood, from the Freshman class,
spoke in the afternoon. McMurray
and Thienes opposed Sheehy, Garbade
and Nail from 1918 class in the ev
ening debate. William Holt intro
duced the speakers.
