With the faculty and students of the University declared to a policy of war-time economy on every issue which has been pre sented this year, the question now arises—what shall be done about the formal dances. Already the fraternities and clubs on the campus have decreed that all house dances shall be informal and the controversy hinges around the class affairs, which have heretofore always been formal. Laying aside the question of the added expense of a formal dance upon the organization giving it, for this expense could be! largely eliminated by doing away with expensive decorations, there are several good reasons why simplicity should be the key note of all University social functions this year. All are based upon the fact that we are at war. It is not to be argued that for mal dances and other gatherings do not hold a place of consider able value in the life of the college man and woman. They add a vague something to the finished education of a college graduate which cannot be gained otherwise. But whether or not this vague something in favor of the formal affair is of sufficient im portance to outweigh the arguments against the full dress party, is a question upon which there can be little doubt. Sober, serious work and the elimination of all unnecessary expense and waste are the demands which the college student of this year is called upon to meet. Ilis patriotism shall dictate to what extent his regular mode of life shall be changed, but the judgment of his actions as a student of the University will be passed by the people of the state. No matter how much the pre parations and expenses of a formal may be curtailed, the unfortunate name still remains. To the public, formal carries visions of taxi-cabs, flowers and expensive decorations, as well as costly attire, and no amount of explaining will remove that impression. Then too, there is an added expense, especially for the men, at a time when every student has a hundred and more places to put his money to much better advantage. Here’s a Plea for a New Oregon Song. Verse or Ballad Wanted for Home comii)i| Game to Spring on Old Students. Hally all ye who are musical or apeak In verse! Here is your opportunity to insure your fame by contributing a rush order production to the contest for tew Oregon song. The need of something different is felt by the yell leaders who predict that all the homecotners from as far back as ’Of. will be familiar with every song sung unless something is done, and that in a hurry. The school of music will compose suitable accompaniments to the ballad, lymerie, or hymn which is chosen as the favorite. The committee in charge, bended by Fred Pnckwood. has request'd a number of acknowledged campus tmuv ten and turned in by Tueslay morning in order that the music can be written believing it has overlooked the produc tive talent, it throws the contest open to everyone who can have a song writ ten a nr turned in by Tuesday morning jnin order that the tunsie can be written and the students can practice Wednes day morning in assembly.

Juniors Concentrate Upon Home-coming Dance Plans Everybody from the most dignified faculty member to the lowliest fresh urged to he present at the annual Home coming dance next Friday night, at the armory. According to the committee in charge this is to he the best affair that the juniors are capable of giving. The heartiest of invitations is ex tended to the alumni, the boys in ser vice, former students, faculty members and to our own present student body. It is for all to come and enjoy and make the dance ns bright as possible. The invitation from the committee reads ns follows: “We, the committee of the Home coming dance, are putting forth every effort to make this dance the grandest success. We are facing our problems squarely, and while we are working on our own plans quietly, we are burning with enthusiasm to make this the dance of the year. “Alumni, boys in the service. anjJ former students, the class of 1010, is giving this dance in your honor and we urge all of you that possibly can to come. Now, when so many of our boys are going to the front, we need mor than ever to get together again. The Oregon spirit is not dead—it is alive. Every student in the University is preparing to give you the warmest reception that you ever received at old Oregon. "We herewith invite the alumni, the boys in the service, the former students, the faculty members, and all our pres >nt students to attend the annual Horn coming ball under the auspices of the class of 1019 on November 17, 1917, at the armory. We are going to give you a great dance. Come and you’ll agree with us." —MARIE MADURA (Chairman.) To lend greater ease in locating the partners for each dance, the committee have decided to adopt the alphabetical order of seating for the girls. This will do away with the worry and hurry that would otherwise attend a dance of this size. COMMERCE CLUB FORMS ORGANIZATION THURSDAY Don Roberts Elected President, Lucille Stanton.
