They have been one of the great est. factors in the ■dev elopment of the famous "Oregon Spirit,” and as mug us we aunere to mem tms spirit will survive and increase in strength. In general, these traditions have been upheld this year, but in one particular we seem to be drifting away from old custom and precedent, and that is in regard to our class formals. During the war there were many reasons why the class dances should bo informal, but now, when the war is over and wo have joined tlio ranks of the larger universities, the old tradition of formal class dances should be revived. A college education is not complete without a certain amount of social training. Tho more lax we are in this particular now, tho harder it will be for the individual In later life, when he finds that he is not familiar with formal affairs and for mal attlro. Certainly there is no need to run rampant on the subject and have every dance which is given a formal affair, but there is such a tiling as going to the other extreme and hav ing none of our student body func tions formal. Class dances where students representative of the entire University gather could well bo for mal without working a hardship on anyone, and tho prestige belonging to an institution of our size ami rep utation would be maintained. * * • The writer of the above editorial does not possess a full dress suit and, being a Journalist, he is in a medl cant condition financially, but—-on with the dance. I Forgot tho lnfluemta. Why label a good old-fashioned cold or an at tack of the la grippe with such a musical "monnikcr” as Spanish in- j lluesz-i. Spring hasn't come yet. | Woolen socks are better than silk. 1 Keep this in mind and keep the body clothed warmly, get your exercise I daily, take baths frequently, don’t sleep in a draught, eat slowly, don’t smoke during classes or while eat ing, get at least two hours’ sleep a night, don't get cold feet, don't go to sleep on a car track, beware of hair tonic, don't sit too long on cold tombstones, never swallow peachpits.! don't write on a full stomach—use a typewriter. Yes. Spring has come. The writer Is getting rheumatic—we mean rom antic. College Co-eds to Debate A dual debate between O. A. <\ co eds and those of Willamette univer sity lias been arranged for the latter part of the term. 1 COMMUNICATIONS • FORMAL DANCES To the Editor: I have noticed through your columns that this year’s sophomore “formal” was informal and now that the fresh man glee is also to be informal. It will be remembered that the for mals were discontinued during the war as a war measure, but the war is now over. All year you have been sending pleas urging students to up hold the old traditions. Before the war the class formal was as much a tradition as the freshman green cap and many other traditions. Don’t let it die out and permit the class dances, the biggest social events of the year, to become merely “dances.” Of course the argument is, “dress suits are expensive and unnecessary.” When I was an Oregon student I earnr ed most of my way through college and at the beginning of my sophomore year I had to borrow money at'the bank and pay interest on it till the following summer in order to buy a dress suit, but I have never been sorry of the investment and I am sure other students who bought them feel the same. Attending formal affairs and wear ing dress suits is a very vital part of every man’s education. Don’t neglect it and above all don’t let our Univer sity get in the “busher” class. A FORMER STUDENT.

L. Campbell “by John C. Almack, acting director of the extension division. According to the report, five hundred and forty three were enrolled in correspondence study, 1018 registered in courses in Portland extension division classes, and 3960 teachers did reading circle work. Fifteen new courses in correspond ence study were added last year, mak ing a total of 85 courses now offered. That the quality of the courses of fered through the Oregon extension division compares favorably with those of other institutions is shown by a letter received by the director of the division from Mr. L. R. Aider man, library specialist, Navy depart ment, Washington, D. C., which says: Extension Model at Capital “You will be interested to know that when I applied at the General univer sity extension office (Washington, D. C.) for model lessons as given by correspondence schools, I was handed one in mechanical drawing from the University of Oregon.” In Portland, 83 courses were offered in 1919 as compared to 59 courses in 1918, and there was an increase in attendance of 64 per cent. 1 he report states tnat people were reached by the extension divis ion through its various branches, in cluding lectures, publications, the high school debating league, and the exhibit at the state fair last fall. In looking toward the future, a few of the things mentioned in the report were: a heavy demand for more commerce courses; that 14 towns have sent in communications regarding the possibility of organizing regular ex tension classes; that the division, with the cooperation of the United States public health service, is undertaking the investigation of the cause and extent of dependency, delinquency, and defectiveness in the state; and the bureau of vocational research which was organized in 1919 is now ready to begin work. Investigations are Planned The bureau of vocational research plans to conduct practical investiga tions, such as a study of the successes and failures of college and high school students who prepare for skilled trades, by entering the professions or business with a view of obtaining in formation on which advice to students may be based. Also, it) is planned to collect and distribute information about training required, and compet itive and general conditions in the different industrial and professional occupations.
