For this rea son we are opposed to the abolishment of the dress suit at this college, be lieving that no occasion arises on which a man really in need of that liv ery cannot buy or borrow it. But when there are valid econom ic reasons for taooolng certain ap pendages, such as cabs and flowers, we like to see an opposition move ment succeed. This is the cuse with the Junior Prom. The usual toll, which is not imposed at other class formats, together with the other ex penses of Junior Week-End, make this a time at which any possible saving to the downtrodden student is doubly desirable. Then, too, there is the consideration of courtesy. There cannot possibly bo enough cabs and flowers in Eugene to go around that evening, with doz ens of visitors added to the usual University crowd. This will mean that some couples will have to walk and some girls go garlandless, and in practice it is not the students, but the less astute preppers and outsid ers who must suffer these indignities. Several spasmodic efforts by class es hnve been made to legislate against cabs and flowers, but this is the first year the class giving the dance has undertaken the proscription. The Jun iors deserve the heartiest co-operation of the other classes in their present stand. • •#*••** + + * # * * BXeiJSE ME * * By DeWitt Gilbert. * The Stanford crew will go to Pough keepsie, New York, to represent their University in the annual inter-colle giate regatta, to be held on the Hud son at that pluce. The race which Stanford was to row Washington has been cancelled as a result of this move. • * Inclement weather has hindered Or egon’s track team, but at least no snow has covered the ground as it did in Union county, causing the post ponement of the county inter-scholas tic meet. • • James Duffy, noted Canadian Mara thon runner, has been added to the list of atluetes killed in the great war. * * The Whitman Juniors won the inter class track meet held at Walla Walla last Saturday, “Bill” gave his team a little talk yesterday, but ended up by saying he “didn’t want to see it in print.’’— Robber. • • “Tommy” Boylen is having a little trouble with a tendon that he tore loose over two years ago. Since thaf time it has never been very strong. * * In 1895 the college record in the mile was held by R. H. Hurley, with a time of 5:56 3-5, about a minute and a half slower than the present time. In this same year Merritt Da vis held the record in the 100 at 10.4, and C. Bishop was the best half-miler with a record of 2:30 3-5. Some of the records, made slightly later, it is true, are remarkable, but not in the same sense. In 1906 Dan Kelly ran the 100 in 9 4-5, the 220 in 21 3-5, and broad jumped 24 feet 2 1-2 inches. In those days Zacharias and MlcKinney also were putting the shot 46 feet. All of these last marks stand today. Since 1911 no entry has been made on these record boards. Frosh! ************ • • • CAMPUS NOTU8 * • • *********** Mrs. A. T. Hill, of LaGrande, and Alice Hill, were guests at the Kappa Sigma house Thursday night. Miss Guppy entertained with an in formal tea at the Osburn Hotel Wed nesday afternoon, in honor of Mrs. A. L. Fuller. Mrs. George H. Currey and Helen Currey were dinner guests at the Al pha Phi house Tuesday night. Mrs. Albert Dunbar and Dorothy Dunbar were dinner guests at the Kappa Alpha Theta house Tuesday. Alva Wilson,. Dorothy Wheeler, Katharine Bridges, Beatrice Locke, Katharine Kirkpatrick and Grace Campbell were dinner guests at the Delta Gamma house Friday evening. Mrs. Penrose was a dinner guest at the Delta Gamma house Thursday night. The Advisory Board of the Y. W. C. A. and several members of the fac ulty met at the Gamma Phi Beta house Thursday evening to meet Mrs. Penrose, the National President of the Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Penrose was the honor guest at a reception given Thru^day after noon in the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow. Two hundred students, members of the faculty and Eugene women called dur ing the afternoon. Mrs. A. L. Fuller, the house moth er of the Gamma Phi Beta house, left Eugene Friday afternoon for Portland. Mrs. Fuller will sail from Seattle May 12 for Alaska, to visit her daughter. Mrs. Brock will be house mother for the time being. Miss Millie R. Trumbull was a din ner guest at Mary Spiller Hall Wed nesday evening. Rugby ns she is played will be shown by two teams from Stanford University in the cities along the Pa cific coast, including Spokane, Port land and Seattle. Stanford has fa thered this Australian game for sev eral years in California. Minnesota’s athletic board has pro vided for dancing after basketball games. This action was taken to stimulate interest in the game. The plan was tried several years ago and worked successfully. Final reports from the National In tercollegiate Rifle Association show Pennsylvania finishing second in their class in the Intercollegiate Rifle League. North Georgia Agricultural College won the championship with a percentage of 96.65. Although they failed to secure first place, they secured first honors in the non-mil itary colleges throughout the United States. They will consequently re tain the trophy won last year. When the tennis manager at Ford ' ham contemplated sending the team on a trip through the South, he asked a Southern friend of his for the names of some of the Southern universities. His friend took advantage of the man ager’s ignorance of the South and gave him a long list of the girls’ colleges. Challenges were sent. Saturday he received a perfumed note from Gou cher College stating that it did not allow its young women to play ten nis with young men. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institute Committee has perfected a plan by which it is hoped to keep the posters on the bul letin boards until they have finished their term of usefulness. It is stated on each poster that it is the property of the committee, and that if found it has been stolen from the committee. They are also stamped with a serial number. Every two months the pos ters are collected and auctioned off. OREGONITE IS HONORED Edward W. Smith, Who Attended the University 1905-1908, Is Lauded in Newspaper Article “The twenty-six year old Oregon manager of Equitable Life Insurance Society, Edgar W. Smith, is one of the most discussed agents in Amer ica,” begins an article under the cap tion, “Can write and manage too— Career of Edgar W. Smith.” “The Equitable manager will qual ify this year for «the Half Million Club," continues the article, which appeared in the Eastern Underwriter a weekly newspaper covering all branches of insurance, of April 9, 1915. The periodical is published in New York City. Mr. Smith is a former University of Oregon student, having been here three years, from September, 1905, until June, 1908.

He entered the University from the Pendleton High School. “The Life Underwriters Associa tion of Oregon has twice honored Mr. Smith by electing him to office, the first time as secretary of the associ ation, and the second time at the an nual meeting this year, he was cho sen to serve as president for 1915 by the unanimous vote of the members,” the article continues. “It goes without saying that he has qualified annualy for the company’s Quarter Million and Century Clubs, and will this year be enrolled in the Equitable’s new Half Million Club.” FOR RENT—A first class piano at reasonable rates to the right party.
