Four formal dances and many in formal dances were interesting events of the past week-end also. The banquet for the three hundred high school delegates was perhaps the largest event held during the week. President Campbell was toastmaster for the event which was given at the Wo man’s building on Friday evening. Greatly enjoyed by the “preppers” was the “College Night” entertainment given in their honor at Villard hall on Friday night. Selections were given by the Fnivrsity Symphony orchestra, and the Men’s and Women’s Glee clubs. Football sweaters were awarded to the men who had won them during this past season, yells were given, and the debate trophies were awarded to the winners in the intramural debates. A motion picture which was both educa tional and entertaining was also given. Women delegates at the conference were the guests of the University Wo men’s League when the latter enter tained with a luncheon in the sun room of the Woman’s building on Saturday. In the afternoon a fashion show was given by the members of the Women’s League showing the visiting high school women the correct mode of attire for numerous occasions. The event was in the form of a dialogue with the mem bers of the Women’s League taking part. The models upon whom the clothes were exhibited were also members of the League. It was noted that sim plicity in style marked the affair. Mus ical numbers were an added feature on the program. Tea was served by the members of the Y. W. C. A. at the Bungalow after the fashion show. Members of the state legislature and their wives were honor guests at a luncheon at Hendricks hall on Wednes day. During the affair brief talks and a musical program were gived. The younger set including the sons and daughters of the legislators were en tertained at Susan Campbell hall with a luncheon.

With large blue Chinese oriental rugs on the walls, with the lights cleverly representing lotus flowers of different colors, and with Chinese palms in the dancing rooms, the formal of Delta Gamma sorority held in the Wo man ’s building on Friday night was a beautiful and colorful affair. The orchestra played under an artis tic pagoda and all about the rooms the Chinese motif was cleverly carried out. The programs were of blue suede with the sorority’s crest engraved upon them. Eleven out of town girls were guests at the affair. Patrons and patronesses included Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Osburn, Judge and Mrs. Louis Bean. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rodgers, Professor and Mrs. E. E.

Delta Tau Delta was the host for eight Chi Omegas when they entertain ed with a dinner Thursday evening. The engagement of Miss Helen S. Smith of Eugene to Mr. Frank C. But- j terfield of Los Angeles, was announced! at a dinner given at the Delta Zeta! house last week.

Cards bearing the news were j hidden beneath dainty bouquets which marked the places of the guests, and sorority sisters of the bride-elect. Miss Margaret Russell, ’22, spent part of the week on the campus as the house guesi of Miss Maude Graham at the Delta Zeta house. Miss Russell is engaged in physical education work in Pacific University at Forest Grove. She is also in charge of Harriek hall, a hall of residence for thirty girls at the college.

One of the keenest dances of the year was given at the Country club Saturday night by the members of Hammer and Coffin society and the contributors to Lemon Punch. The cemetery was the rendezvous of the dancers from which they w-ere tak en in a special car to the country club. The walls of the dancing rooms were in a black paneled effect with lillies cleverly painted upon some of these panels, while on others were hammers. Gold and black were effectively used as a color motif, with the lights cov ered with shades of black and gold and the programs in these shades. Miniature wooden coffins, exact rep licas of real coffinp, painted black and trimmed with gold were very apropos as the cleverly combined programs and fa- j vors. In the bottom of the coffin rest ed a skilfully drawn cross-bones above which rested a photograph of each guest’s partner. On the back of the coffin’s lid was the dance program, j but in place of numbering the dances,; each of the fifteen dances was sclied- j uled as an episode in a person’s life,: such as engagement, marriage, death, etc. Partners were drawn for the feature dance by having the women choose a wooden hammer upon which the name of a. man was painted, with whom she was to dance. Twenty-five couples atended the af fair. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. W. P. G. Thacher, and Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Hoyt. A very pretty formal was given by Sigma Chi fraternity last evening at the Woman’s building.

John son were the patron and patroness for I the event.

They have left the academic halls mentally helpless. Entering with ambitions clearly out lined, they have gone out mere products of a machine. The trouble is that the American colleges are producing parrots instead of individuals. Thus speaks the Northwestern Daily. Only a sage e*n place the fault upon either the faculty or the student, but the fact remains that many of the young people in colleges today are losing their personalities in the welter of classroom instruction. They absorb everything; they belive everything. They seldom question. Individuality is submerged un der the sea called learning. This charge against colleges does not mean that the facts handed out are false. They are not. The danger lies in ■ the attitude in which the students ac cept these facts. To belive all is not merely a lazy mental habit, but falls just short of being a mental crime, It stag-1 nates the brain, retards progressive j thinking and smothers accurate reason ing. It kills initiative. Is the solution to this problem with the college or with the student? It is with the individual student. It is ob viously impossible for the professor to regulate the minds of his students. It j MeCready were alumni present at the affair. »■ * • A Venieian setting with cedar, ivy, and fir garlands festooned from the lights to the corners of the rooms, and with huge bunches of grapes hanging from these wreaths effected a charming vienese interior for the Gamma Phi Beta formal dance given Friday eve ning at their chapter house. Around the lights and hanging from them were streamers of crepe paper of many colors lending a gay atmosphere to the scene. The dainty programs bore the sorority’s crest in gilt engraving. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Dixon, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Stafford, Mts. Joseph N. Teal, and Mrs. George H. Reed com prised the list of patrons and patron esses. Delta Theta Phi was the host at an informal dance at their residence Fri day evening. Patrons and patronesses included Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Chat burn, and Mr. Justin Miller. A delightful surprise was the dance given by the seven pledges of Alpha Sigma for the members of the sorority, Friday night at their house. The an nouncement of the dance that was to follow the dinner was cleverly conceal ed in the nut dishes, and until the finding of the news, the girls were un aware of the entertainment to follow. All the rooms were decorated in yellow streamers, daffodils, and pussywillows and the table decorations further car ried out the yellow and white scheme. Mrs. Lucy Abrams was the patroness for the dance. Have You Had Toast and Tea at the Anchorage Lately ? ■ Phone 782 Slabwood—Coal—Cordwood ANDERSEN FUEL COMPANY 39 East 7th is not his duty. But if every young per son in college would make it his am bition to become an individual—not a parrot—American youth would be placed on a still higher level. COLLEGES SHOULD BAR (Continued from page one.) agreed with the president and agreed with their spokesman. “One thing the matter with American life is that there are not enough edu cated men, college trained men. The American man generally lacks horizon. Give me a man who has traveled in the realms of education and I'll make a specialist of him in half the time it would take to do the same with some one lacking in schooling.” In the same article Chaunev M. De pew, the famous orator, after dinner j speaker and humorist, takes the reader I from the materialistic to the idealistic, i Mr. Depew said, “The question of who should go to college goes deep down j into the roots of the question as to what is the ultimate purpose in life. If is means only laying bricks, digging cop per, piling up a fortune or monopoliz ing the pork packing industry, then by all means let the youth of our land be gin early and learn nothing but to make money. "But education is more than that,” continued Mr. Depew. “I have heard captains of industry express themselves concerning it. One of the world’s great magnates once said to ine—and his wistful regret was something I’ll never forget— ‘“I’d give all I had if I’d had a! school and college edncation. It’s the deepest grief of my life that I missed it. For, look at the man who can sit down with a book and enjoy the minds of the great, the lives of - other times, the triumphs of thought—pleasures that I can not buy. They think more and live in a world from which I am shut out—the world of books, of beauty and of thought. “ 1 As for me I have long become stale. There is no thrill at beating the other fellow at money I have solved only the bread and butter problem, whereas the fellow who can assimilate what books and art can teach him keeps growing all his life.’ ” A GARDEN In my heart there’s a garden of buried dreams Wherein dead wishes lie. Through a cypress, there, a faint light beams. In my heart there’s a garden of buried dreams, And the wraith like spirit of a dead hope gleams, And shades of longed for things pass by. In my heart there’s a garden of buried dreams Wherein dead wishes lie. —Roberta Sanborn.
