The commencement program should aim to keep friends and relative' interested on the campus, away from the houses during study periods.” “The criticism has been made that commencement here is thin and unat tractive,” said the advisor. On his sug gestion that new features might be in troduced or borrowed from other cam puses, and that a committee be appoiut ed to look over the ground. President Batle.v named the following: Floyd Daw son, Anson Cornell, Chester Miller, Les lie Tooze, Louise Bailey, Claire Raley, Katharine Bridges, and Genevieve Shaver.

The gent who is wise wears no pin on his vest, But secretively hides it away, For discretion than valor and rashness is best; And the season opened on New Year’s day. For this is the year that comes once in four, When February adds one day that it had not before, And women gun for men. The gent who is wise pigs for joy of the pigging. And retaineth his freedom through all, From oath and bethrothal forever reneg ing. And shunning Cupid’s thrall. The cautious pigger now pigs no more, For the game’s less safe than it was be fore, Now that women gun for men. FRESHMAN DANCE FEB. 12 Committees Appointed; Music Refresh ments, Features and Others Included. Committees for the freshmen Valen tine danee were appointed at the class meeting Wednesday and arrangements made to collect the hundred dollars in class dues not yet paid up. The dance probably will take place Saturday, Feb ruary 12. in the Armory. Dr. Straub has urged that every freshman girl be asked to go even if she does not dance. "If any of you boys don’t dance it won’t do you any harm to ask a girl who doesn’t dance and go and sit in the gallery. If I see any freshmen there with an upperclass girl and find that one of his own class has remained at home I’ll take him to task about it as soon as I get hold of him,” he said. Committee chairman are as follows: Social: Genevieve Dickey; music, Italph Tourtellotte; program, Sprague Adam: invitation, I*aura Miller: refreshments. Dorothy Dunn; decoration. Kathleen Fraley; feature, Wyville Sheehy. George Gates was appointed general manager Charles Johns was elected manager of the freshmen basketball team.

With the shrill of Bill Hayward’s tin COMMERCE COURSES TO BE PRACTICAL1ZED Dr. Morton Discusses Addi tions to Be Made in the Work Next Semester. When the commerce students returned this week they found their recitation rooms considerably changed. During the vacation a large well lighted room ou the north side of the building was made by putting a partition in the long hall about a third of the length from the end of the room. The remainder of the obi main hall has been divided into two parts; one will be used for a reading room where ull the periodicals and com mercial literature is kept and the other will serve ns a working laboratory. Too Much Space “The reason we made the change", says Dean I). \V. Morton, “is because the old room was too big and gave us poor black-board facilities and moreover we expect to have a new man with us Emerald Can Break the Speed Limits— But Can the Staff Stand the Pace? By special arrangements, II. W. (meaning “Hard Working”) Makar has consented to print the Emerald on the hig press at the Guard office. This press is the speediest on the market and its name is Duplex ‘Tit ular,” with a maximum speed of .‘{0,000 papers per hour, folded and ready for delivery. “Shell” Sheldon, chief chauffeur, and "Ed” who runs a motorcycle when he’s not running the press, have agreed to break the speed laws on the Eiucr id. At this rate the Emerald issue will last from three to fiAe minutes after the make-up and terotyping is completed. On the old job press the same process requires about two and a half hours, in addition to an hour for folding. But—This saving of time in presswork requires a proportionate speeding up in assigning, reporting, handing in assignment, copy-reading, head-writing, proof-reading and make-up. Otherwise the Emerald will devour itself with costly overtime. To the entire staff, therefore, we request that work be speeded up, that there be no delay in handing in assignments. With this improvement, the Emerald’s mechanical equipment compares favorably with any daily on the Pacific coast. To put the rest of the Emerald’s facilities on a pa with the press, ad ditional speed is needed on the editorial, managerial and repetorial depart ments. Let’s all push together to keep up with the press. It means a better and earlier Emerald. whistle the interfraternity basketball games started Wednesday afternoon at 4 p. rn. in the gym.

Another lottery dance, but this time u leap year uffair! With only one audible dissenter, Bill Burgard, the senior class yesterday de cided to retain the senior lottery dance custom. The leap year feature seemed to please especially that part of the class that usually sees to cabs, and to flow ers, to waiting in the parlor, and to smil ing distantly at the patronesses who may love to dance. Ah! No Cabs! No Flowers! But there will be no cabs and flowers. Kor Constance Cartwright asked about it, and ITesident Hatley said that though he hadn’t any objection to a little decor ation himself, he thought that a demo cratic class should oppose such non-es sentiuls. “Now that I have voted in favor of the measure,” said Mandell Weiss, “I'd like to inquire just what the nature of the affair will be.” “A leap year affair is where the girls try to show the fellows a good time,” was the opinion of Bothwell Avison. Corruption was the cry of one speak er, who feared that heretofore the draw ing of names has been juggled with. It was promised that a higher committee would scrutinize the work of the main committee if necessary. The dance com mittee consists of: Chester Miller, Kate Stanfield, Constance Cartwright, Claude Hampton and William Tuerqji. AGGIES $3400 AHEAD. The Oregon Aggies have got lots of kale with which to start the new year. After weeks of effort and hard work jaunting the greenbacks, they have finally deduced thati they are $3-400 ahead of where they were when the season start ed. And all this after making the trip to Lansing, Mich., besides one to Cali fornia and one to eastern Washington. EXERCISE SOME MORE. Sophomores at the university of Wis consin were unable to get enough exer cise in the varsity or interclass sports, so they destroyed $00 worth of property in a “cap fight” recently. According to statistics recently col lected at Colgate university the average age of members of the entering class each year is 19 years 8.3 months.

PRESIDENT IS IN WASHINGTON. President Prince L. Campbell will be in Washington, D. (’., from December 31 to January 8, in attendance at the American Scientific Congress nnd other allied meetings. Professor H. B. Miller, of the School of Commerce was invited to be present at this convention and read a paper. Pressure of business prevents him from accepting, so President Camp bell will read the paper. GO FROM COUNCIL TO CONGRESS In order to get away from the stiff ness and artificiality of a classroom ex teroise, Prof. It. VV. Prescott’s classes in public speaking pretend that they are anythin"' from a city council to a moth , er’s congress. “The students can’t put their hearts into mere formal speeches,” says Prof. Prescott. "They are conscious that .there is no real end to be gained, and are superficial in their argument. That we muy have a vital interest, we imagine ourselves in a situation which justifies the discussion. If we want to talk on the compulsory student body tax, we are, for the time being, the student body. If we want to discuss matters affecting the entire state, we are the legislature. And we can us reardily turn ourselves into a woman’s club or a mothers’ congress, if the subject demands it.” Nearly $1000 have been raised among the faculty of the Kansas Stute Normal school at Kiuporia to go as a gift toward the rebuilding of the college of Kmporia building recently destroyed by fire.
