SOCIETY
Members of Oregon Alpha chapter
of Pi Beta are hostesses for a dance
given at the Hotel Osburn this even
ing. Quantities of daffodils bright
en the rooms and greeted the danc
ers from small baskets from all parts
of the rooms. Only the side lights
were used and these have been dis
guised into huge paper daffodils.
Masses of greens form a background
for the blossoms and wind around the
pillars in the rooms. A unique
idea carried out in the supper was
the use of tiny white flower pots
with a yellow daffodil standing up
in the ice cream, giving the impres
sion of potted plants.

evening is the scene of a very charm

decorations. Patrons and patronesses

A very simple but impressive wed
ding was an event of Friday noon
at the Gamma Phi Beta house when
Eileen Tomkins of Cascade Locks,
and Kenneth S. Hall of Portland,
were married.
The bridal party entered the living
room to the strains of Mendelssohn’s
wedding march, where the service
was read 'neath a bower of daffodils
and ivy, by Reverand William Moll
Case.
The bride was gowned in a travel
ing suit of seal brown with a small
brown hat to match. She wore a
corsage of violets, Ophelia roses and
maidenhair fern. There were no at
tendants and only the relatives and
immediate friends of the bride and
groom were present. Following the
ceremony, Mrs. Hamilton Wier was
hostess to a charming wedding
breakfast during which Genevieve
Clancy sang several delightful selec
tions. The couple left early in the
afternoon on their honeymoon.
Mrs. Hall is a member of the class
of ’21, of the Gamma Phi Beta so
rority, Kwama, Tre Nu, and Zeta
Kappa Psi. Mr. Hall is a graduate
of Yale in the class of 1910 and is
a member of the Highway Commis
sion stationed at Salem, where they
will make their home.

E.E.DE COU HAS PAPER
PRINTED IN MAGAZINE
Term and Semester Plan Discussed in
February Issue of School and
Society Periodical
Professor Edgar E. DeCou, of the
mathematics department of the Uni
versity, has had an article on “The
Three Term versus the Two Semester
Plan, and the Summer Session,” pub
lished in the February 28 issue of
the School and Society magazine.
Two questionnaires have been . eut'
out, according to Professor DeCou in
the article, one in December of 1918
and one in December, 1919. These
were to determine the trend of the
larger universitis in regard to the
two systems, the term and the semes
ter plans.
A year ago, he said, two-thirds of
the universities used the three term
plan. They are about half and half
now, he said, as most of the eastern
schools have gone back to the sys- j
terns used before the war. Accord- •
ing to Professor DeCou’s article, most!
of the eastern schools now use the |
two semester plan, the western schools i
the three-term plan, and the middle
state universities are about evenly
divided on the two.

ROY J. WHITE OPENS FIVE
ROOM MUSIC STUDIO IN CITY
A course of musical instruction
that is a little “different” has made
its appearance in Eugene, and judg
ing by the success with which it has
started off, it will be very popular.
Roy J. White, manager of the Wat
erman Piano School of Oregon, is
opening a five room studio at 917
Willamette street, over the Western
Union Telegraph office. Mr. White
has been in Eugene for two months,
and already has a class of 52 stu
dents, but it was not until within the
past few days that he could secure
a permanent location. The studio,
when completed, promises to be most
attractive. There will be five music
rooms with sound proof partitions.
Mr. White plans to open studios in
a number of Oregon’s larger towns,
but will make Eugene his headquar
ters. The studios will be under his
competent staff of instructors.
For the past five years Mr. White
has been with, the Waterman Piano
School of Los Angeles and for the
last year of his connection with the
school he assisted Mr. Waterman in
preparing text book of music for the
students of the Waterman method.
The method used by Mr. White is
proving very popular with his stu
dents in Eugene. So carefully has it
been worked out that much of the
wearisome repetition and monotony
of the usual course of study mapped
out for the piano student has been
dispensed with, with the result that
every lesson, from the very first one,
is full of interest.—Adv.
BOARD AND ROOMS—One large sit
ting room and bedroom suitable for
two or three boys; one single bed
room. Also table boarders—dinner;
lunch and dinner; or breakfast,
lunch and dinner.—Mrs. M. A. Go
heen, 1331 High St. Phone 1077-R.
NOTICE
Group meetings of all the students
in the University for discussion of
the millage bill with members of the
faculty have been postponed until
Wednesday evening, March 17, from
Tuesday, as originally .planned by
the student committee under Don
Newbury.
