This step is without ouestion wise, giving the students a degiee more power in their own government After this all holidays will be de-j cal red by the two committees, and the instigators of illegal celebrations can be held for reprimand. Unauthorized holidays .lie detri mental to student government. They cause the fuculty to feel that the students are not capable of govern ing themselves. Hallies gotten up on the spur of the moment generally grow a great deal more than first planned. Classes are disrupted, and complications fol low. Over zealous parade leaders forget that their institution is cost ing the people of the state over $2,600 a day to operate and that every hour wasted has a cost. OI K I’KKSONAl.

They imply d -n ocraev no student so poor but wluit he can dress in accord with good usage on the campus of this University. And there is something of tradi tion, something loved by the student in his costume of corduroys and high shoes. They are customs vhich time has hallowed. Deprive the junior of his eleg.irt trousers, the senior of his buckaroo hat, and you sweep from them the dearest possessions of their upoerclass years. Rough dress gives no room for attack. More, it deserves commend ation. But democracy in dress is not syn onimous with personal slovenliness. There is no excuse for educated men in daily association with intelligent ycung women going about unshaven, shirt collar open, and unkempt. In many cases this lowering of a stand ard in dress is caused by the let down which comes with a discharge from military service. When in tne service, personal appearance was drilled into men so strongly that they became sick of the subject. As a result the- joys of getting back into the old “civies”, causes them to go to the other extreme in the matter of personal appearance. A clearer sensibility of the de ference we owe the women students of the University could well be cultivated and could perhaps best show itself first in eradication of the inexcusable characteristics of personal appearance which are be coming more and more prevalent. FROSH CLASS HEARS DEANS Infants Exhorted to Study and to Aid Student Volunteers Support of the Student Volunteer Movement was strongly urged at a meeting of the freshman class in Villard hall at 11 o’clock Thursday morning. Dean Straub, Dean Fox, and Wilbur Carl spoke upon the necessity for aiding the university in sending delegates to the Des Moines convention. Pledge cards were distributed and the students to: give their dollar before evening. Dean Straub spoke upon the ad-j visability of better application to, university work in order to avoid be ing placed upon probation next term. Three hundred “flunks” will be the total at the end of the term, according to estimates made by members of the faculty, he said The dean complimented the stu dents upon the spirit shown by the freshman class, reports to the con trary notwithstanding. He said that the infants had conducted them selves creditably in everything which has been undetaken this term. The Crush bonfire was the biggest in the history of the university, he, said. An invitation was extended by the Kappa Sigma fraternity to the men of the freshman class to ati tend a smoker to be given by the fraternity December 0. WOMEN’S DANCE PEPPY Several Hundred Girls Attending Party at Gym This Afternoon The Women’s league held its co ed party this afternoon in the men’s gym. Owing to the increased num-1 her of girls registered in the uni ve 'sity this year, the gym was filled with one of the peppiest bunches in the history of the league. The freshmen girls were escorted to the affair by the upper class girls and according to Lotta llollopeter, chair man of the affair, there was an at endance of several hundred. The afternoon was spent in dancing and during the intermission a clever little skit, “Jack’s Carbuncle,” was given by Amy Turner and Harriet Hudson. Several musical numbers between dances were given. The affair was chaperoned by Dean Elizabeth Fox Mrs. P. L. Campbell, and the house mothers.

McKay, senior counsel, and Forest Watson, junior counsel for the U. & D. Railroad Company, won the decision over S. Kingsley and Alys Sutton, attorneys for the es tate of James Sanderson, in the suit of James Sanderson Estate vs. U. & D. Railroad Company, an action for damages, in the supreme court of the University of Oregon, Thursday night. The decision of the court was awarded the respondent by a 2 to 1 vote on points of law. Chief Justice Joe Ingram, with Associate Justices C. C. Clark and H. J. Wells, heard the arguments from the bench and rendered the decision. A vote among the spectators on the pre sentation of argument gave a 7 to 1 decision in favor of the oppellant. During the course of the argument of the opposing attorneys testimony was brought out to the effect that Sanderson, who had a pass on the U. & D. Railroad lines, had boarded a slowly moving train in the yards at Denison early one morning, and due to gross negligence on the part of the conductor, who knew he was there, but did not warn him of the approach of a wild freight, was killed in the collision which followed. The whole decision hung on the question: Was or was not Sander son a passenger and fully entitled to protection by the railroad company? In the eyes of the law, both in the lower courts and in the supreme court, Sanderson was not a passen ger even though he held a pass on the U. & D. lines, since he had not boarded the train in the customary manner of passengers. The judgment asked by the ap pellants in the case was $5,000, which was to have gone to the es tate of James Sanderson. NEWS SLEUTH MAKES PIES Mrs. Erma Zimmerman Smythe Turns Down Paper Job for Home Duties Mrs. Donald DeCou Smythe (Erma Zimmerman), who is now with her husband at Cornell University, where he has a position on the faculty, has already had the op portunity to put her training in the University of Oregon fcchooH of journalism to good use in Ithaca, N. Y. Mrs. Smythe, curious about the result of one of Oregon’s football games, strolled down to a news paper office one evening to inquire She let slip the fact that she had done newspaper work in Eugene— and was offered a job at once. Mrs. Smythe writes that she has had to turn the offer down, because she has all she can do at the pres ent “tuning 'up her new home to concert pitch,” and right now she is more concerned with soups and pie, and that sort of thing, than with reporting.
