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.

fred Forbes gave a number of violin
oios, and short addresses of welcome

A. cabinet was celebrated at the Bun
galow on Saturday evening, Septem
ber 20. Ruth Wilson, president of
the cabinet, presided. 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

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.
HERTLINE CHOOSES OREGON

ctogy at Oregon better than that if

versity. Hertline had his choce of

CONTEST STARTS TO IDENTIFY
PICTURE IN INNER CASE OF WATCH
Hamlin Makes Lucky Find in Library
and Desires to Acquire Closer
Acquaintance.
o
> Freshmen, if you can describe cor
rectly the features of a pretty dark
haired girl whose picture is in the
inner case of a watch, the watch is
yours.
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.
