Society By Catherine Spall Perhaps the most interesting from a social point of view is the winter se mester with its numerous forinals and house dances, most of whose dates have been scheduled, although some are ten tative only. A number of engagements of University students have been an nounced. One of the largest affairs that is given during the term was the annual reception given by Alpha Phi sorority to members of the faculty Sat urday evening. The first student body dance of the term was held Friday night at the Armory, following the basketball game there, and was well attended by the students. The dance was handled by the University Chamber of Commerce inasmuch as the proceeds were used to qnlarge the scope of the Chamber of Commerce and to bring prominent lec turers to the campus. A six-piece or chestra furnished the music for the dancers. Tan of Alpha Phi entertained for the members of the faculty with Pro fessor and Mrs. E. E. DeCou as the guests of honor, at a delightful re ception Saturday evening in the chap ter house. In the receiving line were Professor and Mrs. DeCou, Mrs. Jesse Stearns, Miss Florence Garrett, and Miss Cloe Thompson. The rooms were lovely %ith their decorations of cut spring flowers, and pouring during the evening at the beautifully appointed tea table were Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher, Mrs. Colin V. Dyment, Mrs. Warren Smith, Mrs. Campbell Church, Mrs. Walter Nichol, and Mrs. Alma Payne. Two hundred invitations were issued to faculty and 'house chaperones for the event. An engagement of interest on the campus which was recently announced in Portland was that of Miss Miriam Holcomb, ’22, and Baltis Allen, Jc, both of Portland. Miss Holcomb I .s not been on the campus for two years, but was socially popular while here. She is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Mr. Allen is in business in Portland at the present time. He is The Katabolic Daisies - Or - Why the Women Weep By Van Voorhies You know that clammy sensation, like biting into a cream puff that you thought was a biscuit, wliieh you get when she fixes you with an albuminous glance and remarks that your middle name is prune. Or she may call you a tomato or some other of our more famous garden fruits. Then your neck is hauled in to half mast or worse and your self-esteem takes the count and it occurs to you that your hands look funny laying ar und that way. Well, what I was going to say was, those days are over. Beginning now that old gag loses all its wicked wital ity. Who was it said the female is more diabolic than the male? Anyway, sci ence says it “anabolic,” and believe me that’s saying it with flowers. For when you want to tell the difference between the plants and the animals that eat ’em you have only to infer that the daisy is anabolic while the duck is kat abolic, which is the reverse. Woman more plant-like than the male. Wouldn’t that jar Jimmie’s jaw muscles! Lest the masculine egotism blossom too freely in this ghastly knowledge, science has prepared a fresh jolt, this time for august man himself. Yes sir, one of man’s pet theories has been knocked in the head and laid beneath the blooming anabolic posies, The fem inine brain, headpiece, noodle, cranium, that is to say pate, or upper story, in a word the felnigine think-tank, is the ing. In the hubbub of alarmed protests I hear agonized cries of, “But she thinks differently!” Yea verily, she does! Any male prof, who disagrees ploase make it known by_no hands'? Gentlemen, it’s unan imous! When she should shout, “This is true because logic overwhelmingly supports it,” instead she burbles, “It’s true be The REX TOMORROW and Tuesday!

Dancing was enjoyed as well as a number of other amusements for those not desiring to dance. Music was provided by The Midnight Sons orchestra. These festiv ities are held the second Friday eve ning of each month and are proving very popular among the faculty. Kappa Theta Chi will give the fourth and last annual birthday dinner in honor of the founding of the fraternity today. The affair will include only mem bers of the fraternity. At this time it is customary for each class to pre sent the house with a gift. The engagement of Miss Alberta Mills of Hood River, to Earl Hughes, a sophomore in the University pre-medic department was made known Thursday evening in Friendly Hall. Mr. Hughes expects to leave for medical school in the East next year. The Junior Jazz Jinx which was to have been held Saturday night, has been postponed until a later date. It is planned to reserve a date for all class dances and the juniors will pro bably give tlreir affair that evening. An' announcement of the engagement of Mary Lenore Cram to Edward Her man was made known at dinner Thurs day evening at tiie Kappa Alpha Theta house of which Miss Crain is a mem ber. Miss Cram is a senior in the school of education and is very well known on the campus, being a member of Theta Sigma Phi and of Tre Nu. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Cram of Hood Kiver. Mr. Herman, whose home is in Boone, Iowa, attended Ames previous to Ms entrance at Oregon Agricultural College where he is a senior. He is a member of Kap pa Sigma fraternity. cause, well I can’t explain it, but I just FEEL it’s true.” Any man will tell you that sort of headwork didn’t evolve our famous and highly spoken of civilization. This re cent occurrence was pushed out onto the merry highroad when a bimbo nam ed Thales said to his brother Greeks, “It ain’t so unless you can prove it.” Missouri should have adopted him as its state flower. A little later Aristotle remarked that “If you feel it ought to be true, it will probably fool you,” or words to that effect. • « ■ What he meant to say was this, that thought is only valid when divorced from the feelings. Our enlightened in structors call it “objectivity.” This little stranger is the high mogul of sci ence, and invented and got the “Pat. Applied For” on our much touted mod ern world. Men who really did things used it. But in woman’s case, the divorce got lost in transit. Then a little while ago she got to digging around in the court papers and found the thing, and began to fool with it. She began to think objectively! It acted on her at first like Ig’s barley brew and made her cut up and wear queer doodads. The Daily Bunco and other metropolitan newspapers saw it and named it “flap perism.” Now if two nations are eaeh using half of their available intelligence and then one of them takes a tumble and puts the other half to work, what hap pens? You answer Adolph. Listen mister, when the female idea finally slaps ’er into high and gets away, take a good firm grasp in some thing solid and then hold on. ' * « • That little known science of thought, buzzing around these parts and others under the monicker Philosophy, with other abstract studies, are the original Lydia P’s remedies for that subjective feeling. Take in liberal quantities. Guaranteed to develop insomnia and ob jectivity where all others fail. By the way, speaking dymentically, we might call it the Scholastic Attitude. But attend to this, boys and girls, if vou get out of this collection of mud huts without it, you might as well have gone to college in the first plaee. The Castle MONDAY and TUESDAY!

WILSON NECESSITY OF COOPERATION IN WORLD STRESSED “Get Out of Your Shell” Is Plea of Noted Educator—Final Talk Tonight at 7:30 The students who sat in the twilight at Villard hall last night and heard J. Stitt Wilson were a contemplative group as they filed down the stairs of the venerable structure into the early evening. They had heard a message from the vrorld—a call from a needy humanity—a humanity whose heart is being broken by the problems which J. Stitt Wilson presents. J. Stitt Wilson is a socialist but the phrase, “I would like to be the kind of socialist that J. Stitt Wilson is,” of ten comes from the lips of his admirers. His message yesterday was very like the others—that of a world conception and the necessity of cooperation, yet his words breathe newness to an extent that the audience of Mr. Wilson are! never wearied. “Anything that makes you ‘stuck up’ is a dagger that will stab you in the heart,” Mr. Wilson said in bringing out the thought that college people arc like ly to feel set apart from the rest of |humanity. “I am sorry to say it,” he declared, “but there will be no academ ic examinations on the judgment day.” Against class, clan or unnatural div isions of any kind, Mr. Wilson pleads for a breaking down of barriers and the building up of a great inter-com munication of minds and spirits. “Un til we have a higher regard for the welfare of ‘ others ’ there never can be even a beginning of industrial peace,” he believes. The final talks of Mr. Wilson will be at Villard this afternoon at four and at the First Methodist church tonight I at 7:30. O, Alice! By D. K. It’s a great life if You don’t weaken But, dawgonnit, we’re Not all Hercules like Einstein or his little j Boy “ Relativity. ” There are two kinds of students, those who are sent to college and those j that come. The University of Oregon has mostly the second kind. It would take one of these students working steadily eight hours a day about three hundred years to complete all the work offered by a good univer sity.. An old saying is: “Once begun half done.” With this adage as a scheme for estimating, the actual time is cut down to one hundred and fifty years. We have all the time in the world, but as some one said the other day, the world is coming to an end. We can only hope there are one hun dred and fifty years left us for solid study. We have come to college. We want to know everything and the shortest time for the task is one half of three hundred years, the very shortest time! What are we going to do about it? Getting down to brass tacks, look ing facts fairly in the face, taking the bull by the horns and accepting our medicine like a man, we have to admit—we can’t do it! Why! fiecause time, the old thief, will steal a march on us with the wicked pruning hook and cut us down. Mr. I. M. Right Says: Keep Your Cothes NEW Send something every week to We will play the “game” to the on a good game, the game of Alice-and the-Mushroom. At the mushroom of Universal Knowledge we will steadily nibble and nibble, first on this side and then on that, and our reward will be in seeing ourselves grow bigger at times, and at other times realizing how small we are in comparison to the mushroom. The mushroom is schedul ed to last three hundred years, and we will never need to worry about there not being enough mushroom. Oh boy! ain’t it a grand and glor ious feeling?
