FACULTY TO PASS
ON STUDENT DANCES.
•*ay Recommend That Two
Gym Dances a Month ]
Be Given. i
HELP PROMOTE DEMO
CRATIC SPIRIT AT U.
Fraternities May Be Asked to
Give Up One Date Each
Year.
Student dances are a help toward the
promotion of the democratic spirit of
the University and would have a great
tendency to take the place of down
town dances, according to W. F. G.
Thacker, professor of English and a
member of the faculty committee on so
cial legislation, together with Colin V.
Dyment, professor of journalism,
X chairman; Mabel Holmes Parsons, in
structor of rhetoric; Dr. John Straub,
dean of the college of liberal arts;
Elizabeth Eos, dean of women; and
President Campbell, ex-officio member.
“I can see no especial harm in stud
ent body gymnasium dances even if they
are given as often as ince every week,
though they should be very informal
and inexpensive, and should start at
about 8 p. in. and not last much after
11. There is something about down
town dances that is. not wholly desir
able, though one cannot blame the stud
ents for going to them as long as there
\yere no dances upon the campus.
“If the men’s and women’s frater
nities are each willing to give up one
date each year, these dances may be
held as often as desired and there is no
rason for or need of faculty legislation,”
continued Mr. Thacuer.
The following statement was made by
Colin V. Lyment, chairman of the or
iginal committee on social legislation,
and chairman of the committee to which
the faculty referred the recent petition
of the student council for more dances
in the gymnasium:
“The committee that drafted the or
iginal legislation in May, 1915, set out
to devise a set of rules that should be
as nearly permanent as possible. The
committee did not disbelieve in general
student body dances in the gymnasium;
what it did disbelieve in was incessant
dancing in fraternity houses that made
these premises places where it was hard
to study. In taking t'.:e stand that the
fraternity houses of those days answer
ed the foregoing description, the com
i mittee had the frank support of many
[ students; and the remedy it proposed
had the approval of these students.
“The.•'committee foresaw the day,
however, when more student body dances
of a democratic kind, and fewer frater
nity house formats-—fewer even than
two a year—might be welcomed by the
fraternities themselves. Accordingly it
made the legislation read this way:
“ ‘Dances in the gymnasium, or upon
other University property, shall be iim
i ited to one a year for each of the four
I classes * * * and may be either
formal or informal; provided that any
of the organizations mentioned in sec
SIGMA NU’S DESPAIRING CRY
* « ts «
“WE’VE ENOUGH APPLE PIE”
* * * «
“NO,” GORECZKY’S REPLY
It’s apple sauce for dinner and apple
fritters too,
It’s apple pie for supper and turn-overs
with the stew.
It’s apple dumplings, apple cake—they’re
always right on tap;
In fact, apple is the only thing the
“chink” has on his map.
The Sigma Nu’s are all clamoring that
it is not wise to buy property with any
thing eatable on it. Their particular
burden is apples and the above verse is
the wail of Sigma Nu.
During the summer when business is
lax and the temperature is such that
an owner would rather take less than
look for more, “Hawk” Geary, who
was then taking a few hours in sum
mer school during the afternoon, took
advantage of the elements and purchased,
with others, the lot on the corner of
12th and Kincaid streets. The act
brought the entire approval of the ab
sent brothers, then.
But—“Tony” Goreezky, proprieter of
the Sigma Nu “Cafe” this year, being by
instinct economical and predicting a
Hughes administration, was the cause
of all the misfortune.
Chancing to walk by the lot one day,
he noticed that the fruit crop was ripe
and should be picked before the Sigs and
Thetas in passing had levelled the entire
crop. The frosh were rushed to the
scene P. D. Q. and the initial step was
taken.
CONKUN GOES TO SALEM
Will Observe Oral and Manual Methods
Used in Teaching Deaf.
E. S. Conklin, professor of psychol
ogy, left on Thursday for Salem, where
he will spend the week-end in studying
the deaf children in the state school
for the deaf and dumb.
Dr. Conklin will observe both the oral
and manual methods used in teaching
the deaf to hear. In the oral method,
lip reading is used, while in the manual
method, the child is taught to read sign
language. Dr. Conklin believes that some
facts of value to the psychology depart
ment may be gained by his research.
tion 6 may give in the gymnasium any
of the dances permitted in section 1.’
“The organizations mentioned in sec
tion 6 are the fraternities, the Oregon
Club and Mary Spiller hall.
“As I read the editorial in the Em
erald of October 17, which I assume re
flects the spirit of the student coun
cil and the student body, the frater
nities are called upon to give up dates
at their houses, for which dances in the
gymnasium for the entire student body
are to be substituted.
“The provision just quoted from the
social affairs legislation covers the point
fully. No amendment of the legislation
appears necessary.
“It apepared to be the committee’s
feeling that a limit of two gymnasium
dances a month should be set by the
student council.’’
puns FOR DIKE
NOWJDER WAY
Affair in Armory Expected to
Be Record Breaker; Big
Crowd Means Pep.
Posters Advertising Dance Will
Be Sent to O. A. C. and
U. of W.
With the crowds that are expected
from Washington and with the support
of the old alumni back for the game on
the same day, the Junior Homecoming
dance November 4, looks well to be a
success this year.
The students of the U. of W. have j
already made arrangements for the en
gaging of a specinl train to bring them
down, and it is expected that close
to 500 will be in Eugene for the game
and the Homecoming week end. Mem
bers of the different fraternities and
sororities are alrendy making plans for
the entertainment of their guests, and
arrangements for the dance are be
ing taken care of by them.
“A big crowd means lots of ‘pep’,” '
said Joe Hedges, general chairman of
the dance, yesterday. “We should have
lots of it on November 4, for the simple
reason that the game will be the big at
traction of the week-end, and with de
feat or victory, the affair in the ar
mory should be a record breaker.
“The committees have been working
hard on their respective divisions of the
work, and we are getting plans well in
shape for the dance. Special features
and the like will be some of the events
of the evening and new features at that.
“Plans are well under way to issue
to the alumni free tickets for the dance,
and as the main idea of the week end
is the Homecoming, everyone should
turn out and help us put it through with
all of the zip and zaz there is in the
Universit;-.”
A ten piece orchestra has been en
gaged for the eviuing, and a general warn
ing has been issued to the “piggers” who
are late i;. getting their dates for the
evening. “Get your dates early” is the
slogan that is going the rounds of the
campus.
It is the plan of the committee to is
sue cards or posters advertising the
dance. These, if the plans arc carried
out, wrill be sent to the University of
Washington and to Corvallis, with the
request that they be put around in
the most conspicuous places on the cam
pus. This will enable the students com
ing from either the U. of W. or from
O. A. C. to get their dates at the ear
liest possible moment before they leave,
eliminating the risk of getting “jipped”
when they arrive here in Eugene.
“The admission will be but fifty cents”
said Hedges, “and is well within the
means of everyone. There is no excuse
for not being at the Armory on Satur
day night, November 4.”
SENIOR BENCH.
The senior bench left by the class of
1910 was dedicated to the use of future
seniors only.
MANY PROFS. ADDICTED
* * * *
PROF. STAFFORD DID ONCE
* * * #
BUT HE BOUGHT A FORD
On careful investigation, it is discover
ed that several members of the faculty
are addicted to the habits of bicycling.
Some bicycle occasionally, others always.
Some have recent models while others
possess models that were made—well,
long ago. Among the faddists are pro
fessors E. Thorstenberg, It. W. Pres
cott, T. Cloran, F. C. Ayer, R. W.
Broecker, E. L. Kekel and A. J. DeLay.
Professor O. F. Stafford used to stride
a two wheeled vehicle but now he has a
Ford. The same is true of Professor \V.
P. Boynton, although he frequently rides
his bike when he wearies of his car.
Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt is another ex
bicyclist. But he found the easy loco
motion of the bike did not furnish him
with sufficient exercise, so he parted
with it. 51. H. Douglass also seems
to have neglected his bicycle since the
acquisition of a two-passenger Saxon.
PICTURE IS EXHIBITED
“In the Marshes,” Done by Prof. Shroff,
Hung in Library.
“In the Marches,” the picture on the
mantle of the south fireplace in the Uni
versity Library, was painted 2ti years
ago by Professor Albert H. Sehoff, a
new member of the art department of
the University. The scene is of spring
on the Annes Equnm marsh near Cape
Anne, where the artist lived for some
time.
The art dephrtment is planning to ex
hibit Professor Schroff’s work early in
year, probably during January or Feb
ruary. At that time the public will
have the priviledge of seeing many more
of the sketches done in and near the
marshes. »
EXTENSION WORK VARIED
Kilpatrick Will Address Eight County
Institutes of Oregon This Year.
The University is sending out repre
sentatives to practically nil state teach
ers’ institutes this year. According to
Ben Williams, of the extension depart
ment, much favorable comment has been
made regarding this work.
Earl Kilpatrick, assistant director of
the extension department, has filled his
lecture dates at the institutes of Linn.
Benton, Jefferson, Grant, Harney and
Pope counties. He will also attend in
stitutes in Columbia and Crook comities. j
FRAT GRADES OUT SOON
- i
Rush of Work Delays Issuing of,
Scholarship Standings.
The statistics of the fraternity grad
ing for the last semester have not been
computed because of the excess amount j
of work in the Registrar’s office. Dif- ;
ficulty has arisen in finding a competent
mathematician who has the time for j
such an undertaking. If possible the i
grades will bo published within the next
