SOCIETY Edited by Pearl Craine. True wartime simplicity has char icterized the social events of the first rork of the new college year. While nuch entertaining has been going on, jspecially among fraternity circles, >ractically without exception the svents in themselves have been de ightfully simple and informal. One of the most interesting events of the week was the Y. W. C. A. reception for all University women, which took place last Wedneseday afternoon Eom four o’clock to six o’clock in the ungalow. The Y. W. C. A. has been hostess at several other events dur? ing the week. As a new experiment this year, in Iritations for open house among the lifferent women’s fraternities have been extended for Saturday evening from seven to nine instead of on Sun lay afternoon as has previously been he custom. Many of the houses are banning informal dancing immediate y after open house. A reception for all women of the Jniversity took place at the Y. W. C. l. bungalow on Wenesday of this reek, from four to six o’clock. Mrs. *. L. Campbell, Dean Elizabeth Fox, Irs. G. T.

A number of vacancies have been left in the cabi net as a result of the failure of some of the former students to return to the University. A ;mirshmallow toast was held at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow Friday ev ening at seven-thirty. Informality was the keynote of the affair. The guests gathered around the fireplace and the time was spent in singing and getting acquainted.

CHINESE HI OREGON FOR mom SCIENCE fAO SUN COMPLETING EDUCA TION FOR WHICH SUN YAT SEN SENT HIM TO THIS COUNTRY. Hopes to Help Establish Stronger Government in Native Land and Promote Progress. Tao Sun, who for nine years has >een educating himself in Japan and America at the direction of SumYat 5en, the first Chinese president, has mtered the University of Oregon to jomplete his studies in political econ >my. Immediately after completing his jourse afc the University, Sun will re um to Southern China, where Sun Ifat-Sen, although deposed from the presidency, still holds several states. Sun will leave for China to begin lis work of government building for sountrymen next October if his pres mt plans work out. He believes that >y the course he has mapped out he will be able to get both his bachelor’s ind master’s degrees by that time. If le does he will be among the first >f the twenty Chinese that Sun-Yat »en's government is educating, both n America and in different European lountries, to return to take up the fork of building a more progressive ind stable form of government for he Chinese people. Speaks Three Languages. Sun is now 25 years old. He speaks Chinese, Japanese, German and Eng tsh. But because he considers Eng ish a very important diplomatic lan piage, Sun does not believe that he ipeaks it as well as he should. That a one reason, he ssays, why he left he University of California to come a Oregon, for at California there are weniy ot ms countrymen in school nd he talked with them in Chinese early as much as he spoke English J others. Sun left Sze-Chuan province, which s near Tibet, when he was but 16 ears old. In doing so he violated a raition held for generations by the eople of Sze-Chuan province. It was very hiard to obtain Chinese willing to go abroad to study for future work in placing the Chinese govern ment on an equal footing with other world powers. But so great was the patriotism for his country that Sun Yat-Sen *was able to arouse in the breast of Tao Sun that he consented to be sent abroad although he was but sixteen. Course Nearly Finished. Now Sun has nearly completed the course mapped out for him by the former Chinese president who has backed him through the nine years. He sees now what should be done to give his nation a good government. His patriotism is just as great. He is eager to get back and begin, he says. “China is so far behind she must take big steps to catch the rest of the world,” said Mr. Sun after arriv ing in Eugene to begin his studies. “To advance satisfactorily the gov ernment must be reconstructed by units. It can’t all be donej at once. “But the units cannot be cities. Be fore a city government was correctly and permanently established it would be crushed by the outside govern ment. I studied city government forms when I first went to California, but I sooh saw that it was to be of no use as a stepping stone. Strong States Needed. “We in China must build strong state governments that can hold firm a,nd guard the weaker city govern-1 ments until they can be guided into progressive policies and strengthened by age. “That is what I think Sun-Yat-Sen will have mq do—help him direct the establishment of a strong form of state or province government. For this purpose I think the American state government is well adapted to the purpose, although I believe it is bet ter to give the governor more power and more responsibility to the peo-; pie who elect him than is the case in the American state government. The American form is already chang ing in that direction, as the people re alize that there should be some one man to hold-responsible for state af fairs, as there is in the city under the city manager plan of government. “But we need it more than do the American states, for above all else we must first have a strong, progres sive and stable state government be fore we can build either good city governments or a progressive China.” i FIRST WRESTLING TURNOUT GALLED FOR NEXT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON “Bearcat” Grey, Veteran of Last Year’s Team Elected Temporary Cap tain and Assistant Coach. The first wrestling turnout is set for next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, in the wrestling room of Hay ward Hall. Coach Edward Shockley wants every old man and every fel low who thinks he knows anything about wrestling at all to be sure and turn out. “Bearcat” Grey, one of Shockley's old men at 145 pounds, has been ap pointed temporary captain until the tryouts are held, and will have com plete charge of the men under Shock ley. An interfraternity meet will be held in the middle of December, for which a handsome cup will be offered. All houses are urged to be getting tlieir men in condition for this event. Chances seem exceptionally bright for turning out a championship team, according to Shockley. At 117 pouns, Bruce Flegel, last year’s represent ative against O. A. C., and “Si” Simo la, a promising freshman recruit, are both back in college. Claude Hill, varsity man at 127, is here, as is also “Chief” Wilson, the 135 pounder. “Chuck” Dundore is an other old-timer at this weight. “Bear cat” Grey was kept off the team last year by having to compete against “Rudy” Rutherford, northwest cham pion. This year “Bearcat” is in great shape and ought to enjoy a good sea son. Taylor, the heavy weight, is back in school, ‘and Pete Jensen may also re turn. These men have no places cinched by any means and everybody has a chance. A freshman team may be formed, as well as a varsity. The O. A. C. meet will probably not be held until after Christmas. UNIVERSITY AND EUGENE LURIES TO SEND BOOKS TO BOVS AT FORTS Campus Campaign Is L«der Direction or M. H. D-.uglnss and Mrs. M. F Medan. The University anr' city libraries ere collecting books and money under toe direction of Librai.an M. H. Doug lass and Mrs. M. F. McClain, for the million-dollar library for the soldiers. Four hundred a,nd twenty-five dollars has been raised, seventy-five by the faculty. The campaign was to have closed last weeb, but due to the ab sence of so many faculty members the time has been extended several days. Seven hundred dollars was Eugene’s allotment. "We hope,” said Mr. Douglass, ‘‘that the students will take up the work, organize and perhaps give twienty five cents apiece, as most of the books go to the Second company, stationed at vort Stevens, where the^e are so many University men.” Gilts are not sufficient, and the li brary for the soldier can not be kept up by donations. However, they are acceptable in the form of current mag azines, periodicals, fiction and text books. The Y. M. C. A. has sent out a request for text boks of foreign lan guages, mathematics and history. The library hopes to send books to soldiers every week. Four hundred were shipped last week. Mr. Douglass has charge of the shipment of both the University and town libraries. “Noth ing is too good for the soldiers,” he solid, “and we hope the students will respond. ” BENCH, FIRST DAUBED, THEN CLEANED Freshmen Remove Traces of Gross Vandalism Under Pressure. Spurred on by well directed blows front upperclassmen, all of the frater nity freshmen proceeded to the cant, pus jusfc niter lunch and removed the' traces of last night’s vandalism. During the early hours this morn ing the senior bench was moved a | short distance and the back was daubed with paint. Johnnie Beckett, on hand and armed with a club, administered per suading arguments, while Charles Dundore and Jimmy Sheeliy conduct ed the rest of the program. Everything was handled quietly and without hard feelings. The honor ofj the bench has been set right. PLEDGING STOPPED BY PAN-HELLENIC Three Portland Girls Kept Out by I Ruling of Organization. At least three Portland girls are non-sorority members this afternoon who would have been pledged by one or the other of the eight local chap ters but for their connection with high school sororities. By a ruling of the national Pan-Hellenic, effective January. 1917, high school sorority members cannot be pledged at college. This is the first time the question lias arisen here. Pending word from national head quarters In New York City, the local heads of the Pan-Hellenic asslciation declined to discuss the situation.

It is a good contest. The picture is on the under side of the casing and the watch has a new 1921 watch fob on it. That’s the only reason that other than freshmen are barred from the contest. Nellis Hamlin found the picture after he had all but succeeded in finding what made it “tick.” The watch was found on a table in the library and Nellis turned iti ove rto the desk. He was so intereste dthat he voluntarily posted a notice in front of the library asking for the owner of the photo graph—and watch.
