OPEN NOUSE SUCCESS,
NEW DATE PREFERABLE
SATURDAY NIGHT MUCH BETTER
THAN SUNDAY FOR HOLDING
ANNUAL EVENT, SAYS
DEAN FOX.
Cheap Excitement and Love Films
Harmful on Sunday According
to Women's Adviser.
Open house at the sororities Satur
day evening instead of Sunday after
noon as was the old custom, is likely
to he continued indefinitely following
the first trial of the new plan last Sat
urday night.
“No serious objection lias come to
me in regard to the change in open
house dates,” said Elizabeth Fox, dean
of women, in making the announce
ment, Monday, "so I feel reasonably
sure that the custom will be perma
nently changed.
Not Using “Big Stick.”
“In encouraging the change, I do
not wisti to give the impression to the
students that I am using the ‘big
stick,’ ” continued Miss Fox, “but I
really believe that Sunday open house
gave the opening Sunday of college
rather a festive and gala aspect that
was not best as a first impression of
university life to entering freshmen.”
Criticism from several women of
Portland brought the first suggestion
of a change from Miss Fox last Feb
ruary at the opening of the second se
mester. The change was mentioned
at that time gefore the Pan-I-lellenic
authorities, but the experiment was
postponed until this fall. A letter ask
ing the sororities to make their open
house dates for Saturday sent out by
Miss Fox last week, resulted in the
trial oil the new plan.
Change Is Justified.
“While none of the students who
have discussed the change with me
have come with enthusiasm for the
plan, tiiere lias been no serious ob
Joction, which, with the many argu
ments against a Sunday open house,
loads me to believe that tlio change
is Justified,’’ said Miss Fox.
“Patriotic reasons, if nothing else,
should lead students to observe the
Sabbath by attendance at church and
by indulging only in wholesome amuse
ments. it would be a detriment to
the nation if wo should fall into the
habit of observing the Sabbath as do
the French and English. And in
breaking away from any such tenden
cy which the student body of Oregon
may have in that direction, open house
on Saturday instead ol’ Sunday will be
a great help.
Sunday “Movies” Harmful.
“1 like church and summer open air
baud concerts, hut 1 do not think it
helpful in the observance of the Sab
bath to gather in stuffy motion pic
ture shows to witness the ordinary
cheap excitement and love lilins. 1 am
glad that there is a law prohibiting
the motion picture shows ol Eugene
from operating on Sunday.
“1 hud hoped that Saturday night
open house would permit a larger num
ber of students to be tree to go to
church, but l do not know tliuL there
was any unusual increase in the stu
dent attendance at the Sunday schools
last Sunday over the opening Sunday
of the college year last year. 1 did
notice, however, that more of the stu
dents were out in the afternoon for
i|U'ti walks.”
