FORMALS AND WAR-TIME ECONOMY.
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.
Two new numbers could be ensdy
crowded into Oregon's repert ;rc, savs
Mildred Brown, a m mher of the com
mittee in charge. "The best and the
second best will probably lie used."

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.
