RALLIES
A further stop towards student
government was taken by stu
dent council at its last meeting when
the members passed i measure cal
ling for the appointing of a commit
tee of students to work in cooper
ation with a faculty committee in
making a schedule or authorized
holidays.
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. AirUVRANCi:
Democracy is no excuse tor sloven
liness.
hwt a ter s and flannel shirts, to
gether with other garb of rough
and ready nature hu'’o always been
near to the heart of the Oregon
student. 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.

MC’KAY AND WATSON
WIN IN MOOT COURT
Decision Awarded by, 2^1 Vote on
Points of Law—Audience Favors
Kingsley and Sutton, 7-1
N. H. 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.

Mrs. Smythe writes that she has
had to turn the offer down, because

more concerned with soups and pie,
and that sort of thing, than with
reporting.
