Keen anticipation for future events
is forthcoming when one observes the
nature and number of affairs planned
after the Easter holidays, when society
promises that again one’s engagement
book is to be filled with week-end danc
es, a number of formals, teas, picnics,
and house parties. There were but few
events during the past week, the largest
of which was the formal dance given
by the women of Susan Campbell hall.
With the next two week-ends closed
to social functions, space on the social
calendar is rather noticeable.
eA silver and green color scheme was
very attractively used at the Susan
Campbell hall formal dance giveip at
the Woman’s building Saturday eve
ning.
The motif was effected by the dull
green panels on the walls on which were
artistically arranged, numerous sham
rocks, and above the lavendar-shaded
lights were suspended little green and
silved balloons. In the sun room hang
ings of ivy were interestingly arranged.
The programs were very clever with
their colors of green and silver on
which were shamrocks of silver.
Partners were obtained for the fea
ture dance in a pretty manner. Two
little girls, Janet Thacher and Marian
Stafford, danced while distributing to
each man from a basket which each
carried, a buttonaire, attached to which
was the name of the girl with whom he
had the feature dance.
Attending the affair were seventy
couples. President land Mrs. P. L.
Campbell, Professor and Mrs. E. E.
DeCou, Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck,
Miss Alice Betts, and Mr. John Sie
fert acted as the patrons for the event.
L N P were the hosts at an informal
dance Friday evening at the Campa
Shoppe when they entertaintd for the
Order of the “O.” The programs were
very cleverly made in the form of
German marks, with the dances num
bered as football signals.
Kwama, an honor society for sopho
more girls, entertained with a very
interesting dance at the Anchorage last
evening, at which thirty couples of
both alumnae and active members were
present. A St. Patrick motif was the
inspiration for the decorations and re
o
freshments, with ivy and daffodils
skilfully arranged about the rooms.!
The programs had miniature Kwnma
pins embossed upon them in black and
gold. Patrons were Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert Earl, and Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Nichol.
Very unique was the setting for the
annual dance of Condon club. Oregon j
section of the Geological and Mining |
Society of American Universities, giv- j
en at the Woman’s building Friday |
evening. A lighting system in black i
and red, designed by Glenn Walklcv,
was very effective. An original fea
ture of the decorations was the volcano
on one end of the sun porch which at
intervals during the evening lit up the
room.
The programs were in tire form of
( gold nuggets, with each dance appro
I priately named after a member of the
j faculty in the geology department or
a characteristic movement of each
, member of the Condon club. Names of
some of the dances were “Walkley’s
Walk, Packard’s Quail, Rigg’s Wig
gle, Guy’s Glide, Campbell’s Canter,
and Karl’s Kick.”
Patrons nad patronesses were Dr. and
Mrs. Warren I). Smith, Dr. and Mrs.
Earl L. Packard, Dr. and Mrs. Edwin
T. Hodge, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Arman
trout, Mr. and Mrs. Paul W. Cook, and
Mr. and Mrs. Mae McLean.
Susan Campbell hall entertained with
a smart dinner party Sunday. The
guests invited for the occasion were
President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell,
Professor and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher,
Mr. John Landsbury, Mrs. Anna Lands
bury Beck, Madame Rose McGrew, Mr.
and Mrs. John Stark Evans, Mr. and
Mrs. George Hopkins, Mr. John Siefert,
Mr. and Mrs. Rex Underwood, Miss
Alberta Potter, Mr. Ronald Reid, Miss
Marie Wood, and the Misses Betty and
Janet Thacher.
An engagement which will be of in
terest on the. campus was announced
Friday evening at Susan Campbell hall,
when the betrothal of Gladys Thoma
son, ’24, to Benjamin Pollack, ’24, was
made known. The surprise came in little
silvered parchment rolls which served
as place cards. Cigars were later pass
ed at Friendly hall.

FACULTY DISCUSSES
EDUCATIONAL IDEAL
(Continued from page on*.)
spend their time ‘browsing,’ filled with
the love of knowledge for knowledge’s
‘sake, worrying little about life and none
at all about grades.”
Student “Good,” Says .Sheldon
Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, dean of the
school of education, said the American
demands of educational systems that
they show exactly what they are doing
and that the student demand for some
thing to show for work accomplished
makes grades an absolute necessity. He
declared that the attitude of Oregon
students generally is “good,” but he
believed that too many students come
to the university without knowing
what they want to do.
Grades do not hinder a good student
from doing high quality work is the
belief of Dr. James H. Gilbert, profes
sor of economics. “A great many stu
dents come to the university with a
desire to do good work.” he said. “But
tjiev appreciate receiving grades which
show the results of their efforts.” He
characterized grades as a “necessary
adjunct” to an educational system.
Colin V. Dvment, dean of the college
of literature, science and the arts, has
|a well-defined conception of an “Edu
cational Utopia.” Students would be
-'allowed to work on a subject a whole
year without quizzes or examinations,
reading copiously and largely on their
own responsibility, without being held
rigidly to lecture attendance. At the
end of the year they would come up
for perhaps three weeks of very for
mal written examinations.. “Then the
examiners would have a chance to learn
whether the ‘browsing’ had all been
lounging,” he said in answer to the
question of “Why hold any examina
tions at all?”
Utopia Held Impracticable
President P. L. Campbell held that
such a Utopia is impractical under the
present social and economic conditions.
“Liking a subject should bring a cor
responding increase in grades,” the
President said. A system approaching
such an “educational Utopia” as some
educators suggest, is always in danger
“of resulting in scattering of energy,
was his opinion.
President Campbell pointed out that
Oregon upperclass students are now giv
en considerable leeway in the choice of
work and methods and that the gradu
ate students working on research had
plenty of room for individual effort.
“It is much bettter that underclass
men have their work organized by ex
perienced heads,” he declared.
He is very enthusiastic over the ben
efits of a well organized educational
system and pointed out a number of
cases where a deviation from it had
resulted disastrously. He also express
ed a belief in the value of competition
as a factor in the matter of grades,
especially in the case of underclassmen.

The motion picture version of Hall

not class it with “Robin Hood” and
‘‘When Knighthood Was in Flower.”
Too bad, another good play gone to
the dogs!
A GOOD SHOW
We agree with Robert Benchley, the j
dramatic critic of Life, only we apply
his dictum to the movies, since they:
are pretty nearly the only thing we
have in Eugene. The gentleman stat
ed that in the days of the youth of a
reviewer (between 68 and 70), he ex
pected much from every musical com
edy he went to see, but now so long as
it did not actually bore him to tears or
murder, he nods his head and says, “A
good show, a pleasant show.”

THE STKEAM
It is strange, sometimes startling, as!
the stream of life flows past the crowd!
of human beings kneeling on its banks, 1
and peering into its rythmic swinging i
current, how a sudden swift beam of
sunlight, glancing along its top-most'
waves, reveals below the reflection of
the peering faces, pools and pockets of j
sinister shadows, and the shining black
ness of the rocks on the bottom.

old in the first person by Miss Would
re, a rising young author, herself a
liglibrow, and yet possessing the cyni
■ism necessary to see the sham front

n the book. We cannot resist quoting
he following brief passage from the
irst chapter:
“I met Mrs. Rushabout at the
Club the day after my sonnet ap
peared in one of tho leading mag
azines. She made a bee-line for me.
‘My, dear, dear Miss Would-be. . .
I had no idea you wrote—why, the ;
whole city is discussing your poem!
It is lovely 1 Simply lovely! and
so— so— ’
“Intellectual,” I ventured hope
fully.
“ ‘ Exactly—intellectual—that's
it; full of tlie most sublime appre
ciation of beauty. Shelly and
Keats, Miss Would-be, Shelley and
Keats, exactly.- You are the rein
carnation of both! Keep it up!’
And she dashed for the dining room
(having perceived out of the cor
ner of her eye, that there was
chicken salad for luncheon).”
