In tho interest of the women’s huild ing the Womens’ League is planning an elaborate fete consisting of dancing, mu sic, plays and recitations to take place in Guild Hall and in the foyer of the Ad ministration building on Washington’s birthday. Feb. 22. The affair is to be called a “Colonial Assembly’’ since the costumes and interior decorations are to be in the quaint old colonial design, and all the money taken in above expenses will be given toward the new women’s building. A large number of people from Port land and other cities will be the guests af the women of the University at this time as it is also the hope of the com mittee in charge to get out of town peo ple interested in the school. Plans for the assembly are under the general di rection of Helen Anderson, who has the assistance of Mrs. .John Leader and Pro fessor W. F. G. Thacher in arranging for the living tableaux.

Decorative Quality Adds Charm “Much of the charm of the party will be occasioned by the decorative quality of the colonial costumes,” said Pean Louise Ehrmann, and I hope that the girls will avail themselves of the oppor tunity to eatch the grace and beauty of their ancestors.” The committee ^ amaz ed at the numerous Gainsborough. Rom ney and Reynolds types that the campus reveals. The Portland Library association has *ent a collection of Colonial masterpieces by English artists to Pean Ehrmann.

This causes a triangular tie between the Fijis, Sigma Chis and Delta Tau Delts all of whom have lost only one game during the season. The game was a thriller from start to finish and although it appeared at times ns if the Fijis were blessed ' the little Goddess of 111 Luck they failed to show the team work and ability to hit the hoop as did their opponents. On the other hand the Sigma Chis played stellar ball and with Ben Breed dropping in five of their nine points won the game. Blake and Hanna also made one each for the Sigs average. Both of these clean shots from difficult angles brought the balcony denizens to their feet as did several other attempts by both of the teams which however failed to register points. Brown and Blake, guarding for the Sig ma Chis were a hard combination to break through and most of the playing of the entire ga-me was in Fijis territory. Game Is Surprise. The game as a whole created consid erable surprise for up to this time the Sigma Chis have shown nothing to com pare with the type of ball played by them Thursday and it was generally admitted on the campus that the Fijis had things their own way. However this puts the Sigma Chis quintet in the running for the cup again this year and providing they show the brand they did Thursday during the rest of the season they may again carve their initials in the old cup as well as walk away with the new one. The tie now existing between the Delts, Fijis and Sigma Chis will be play ed off in the near future. This will de cide the winner of League One who will play the Kappa Sigs already champions of League Two. The Lineup. Score as follows: Sigma Chi 9 -—Phi Gamma Delta 4. Breed, 5.C. Ritter, 2 Moore.F.

Seventy-two students registered for correspondence courses with the Univer sity extension division during January according to the regular report for the month. This shows an increase of 32 over the report for December, when there were but 40 registrants. Registration in the education courses is the largest, according to Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the extension division. This is probably due to the two new courses in education, based upon the reading circle work required of teachers not in first class districts, offered by the division. Hither of these courses when complet ed give one hour of University credit and th$ reading circle certificate for the year. Other courses which have a large percent of registrants are English and economics. FACULTY TO GIVE PARTY A reconstruction and reunion party for the faculty with a basket supper, speeches, a short program, and games will be held on February 7. It is earnest ly desired that every member of the fac ulty make plans to be present for a gen eral good time according to the social committee. JOE TOMIIGI. I, STMOITTOOL Oregon Graduate Writes Dean Lawrence About Army Lite. .Toe Tominaga. MG. has recently been ordered from the front and stationed near Toni, according to a letter received from him by E. F. Lawrence, dean of the School of Architecture. A part of his letter follows: "After the armistice was signed on Nov. 11th. we remained on light railroad from Plinbasle to Montfaucon, ns there were quite a number of trains running between those two points. About four weeks afterward, we were transferred to the 14th Engineers, doing practically the same thing. We were. then, of course in the First Army. Later, we were order ed to move from Argonne forest to ..this village called Roucq about 15 kilometrers ! from Toul, in order to join in our own battalion. “It was on Christmas morning, while snowflakes washed our faces, we march ed into this village. Then we were told to take "A” off from our sleeve. We are now in the Second army. “There are lots of rumors around here in regard to when \\*t' would leave for the states, but most of them are false ones, “We are now living in French barns. It is pretty cold without stoves. It has been raining all the time and is very, tiresome. “Yesterday T got a pass to Toni. T sup pose you remember its gate entrance fountain and cathedral. I stayed only a few hours and most of the while I was there it was raining. “Although I would like to visit Nancy oM’aris before leaving this country, I may not be able to make it.” DEAN LAWRENCE HONORED Elected as Momber of City Plan Com mission in Portland. _i E. F. Lawrence, dean of the School of Architecture, was elected to the City Plan commission, very rece^kr author ized by the City Commission of Portland.

Schedule Probably Stand. The schedule has been fairly well worked out and will probably stand ns it is unless an extra team is chosen from Hendricks Ilnll to fill the vacancies of a negative team from the Chi Omega who have only one team. The largest halls and rooms on the campus have been se lected for these debates and they will be held in accordance with the following schedule: Prof. Howe’s room, Phi Delta Theta vs. Kappa Sigma, Pi Beta Phi vs. Hen dricks Hall; Villord assembly, Kappa Sigma vs. Beta Theta Pi, Hefdrieks Hall vs. Delta Gamma; Dead}- lecture hall, Beta Theta Pi vs. Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Gamma vs. Gamma I In I n't a; l)r.

Prof Robert W. Prescott who has charge of the schedules urges that all the mens’ teams get together and choose their judges fo* that evening. These judges are to be from the faculty and it is important, he says, that they he asked to serve before they make other;, engagements for that evening. Both Herman fund and Helen Brenton, heads of the two leagues, are most en thusiastic over the work the teams are doing. “More interest is being shown in debate this year than has been shown for years," says Herman Lind. “Every man’s organization is working hard on tii> question and some real competition is expected next ^Thursday. Undoubtedly debate is again coming into its own in the University.” “'Programs are being prepared for the debates,” Miss Brenton said. “They will have the names of all the debaters, the judges, the time, place and place for the count.” Students are urged to take up debate by Professor Prescott of the depart ment of public speaking. He says that in his opinion students who take up debate are better students in ail subjects be cause they learn to pick out the essen tials from the non-essentials, they get good training in memory und learn to apply themselves to constructive study.
