Society By Catherine Spall (Society communications can be telephoned to the Society Editor of the Emerald at 655 or 20d). Lent seems not to have affected the social life on the campus, and although informal affairs have taken precedence over the more formal dances, neverthe less the few formals given over the week-end made up in attractiveness what was lacking in quantity. The Women's Glee Club concert on Friday evening was the largest event and one which has always been keenly antici pated. Washington’s birthday will be the inspiration for much entertainment planned for the coming week. An old Japanese garden with lovely lavender wisteria, drooping in an ar tistic effect from the lights, and from the garden wall, and large yellow chrys anthemums gracing various parts of the rooms, made an enhancing scene for the Delta Delta Delta formal Saturday evening at the Woman’s building. The dance programs were contained in a leather address and engagement book which were the favors. Louise Hatfield, of Portland, gave the feature dance of the affair. Patrons and patronesses included Governor and Mrs. Walter Pierce, Pro fessor and Mrs. Albert Sweetser, Dean and Mrs. A. C. Robbins, Professor and Mrs. E. E. DeCou, and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Giffen The upperclassmen of Alpha Phi sorority entertained with a dinner dance last evening at their residence. The St. Valentine motif was carried out in the centerpiece of red roses, the red candles, and the clever plaeecards. Twelve couples attended the dance. Mrs. Jesse Stearns and Mrs. George Fitch acted as patronesses. * * * A silver fountain, glistening as if moonlit, in the center of an Oriental garden with dark trees, picturesque with oriental fruits hanging from their limbs, fancy lanterns of oriental archi tecture in black and gold colors, while others of delicate colors diffused soft Mows upon the scene—this was the Kappa Delta Phi formal given at Ye Campa Shoppe Friday evening. Cleverly combined were the programs with the favors which were leather desk pads, upon which were, embossed the fraternity’s pin. A dainty little girl distributed an Ophelia rose to each of the women present, wound upon the stem of which was the man’s name with whom she had the feature dance. The list of patrons and patronesses for the affair were Professor and Mrs. E E. DeCou, Professor and Mrs. Harry Scott, and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nichols. The freshmen of Kappa Alpha Theta entertained for the sophomores with a dance Friday evening at the chapter house. Decorations carried out a gar 'den motif with lattice work and a pes tel color scheme.

A number of social events were given during the week-end when Kappa Theta Chi fraternity was installed as the Oregon Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi national fraternity. The installa tion proper was an event of Friday evening. On Saturday afternoon the visiting officers of the fraternity were the honor guests at a reception given for them in the Alumni Hall of the Woman’s building to which three hun dred persons were bidden.

Prison-barred were the windows of 'the Kappa Alpha Theta house last night when the upperclassmen enter tained with an informal dance. The entire decorations were in keeping with the prison motif and the walls were devoid of pictures. The programs were of cardboard striped with gray bars. Upon entering the house each man’s head measurement, fingerprints, and foot measurements were taken.
