NEW SYSTEM IS SUCCESS
Sororities Pledge More and
Aid in Rooming Problem
University women are more satis
factorily housed this year, in propor- j
tion to the large number, than ever
before, according to data given out
from the office of the dean of women.
In accordance with plans made last
spring, a percentage of upperclassmen,
the exact names to be determined by
the hall women themselves were to
reside in the halls. The percentages
were so divided that 50 per cent of the
personnel of the halls were to be fresh
men, 35 per cent sophomores, and the
remaining 15 per cent upperclassmen.
This put on an honorary basis the
junior and senior women who were
elected by the girls of the halls to
return.

The purpose of having a largo per
centage of freshmen than of any other
class was declared to be the fact that
the University’s protection should
first be given to the younger students.
It was also thought that the under
classmen by being given preference in
the hall would have moro University
life, and form closer associations.
“This system is working out very
well,” stated Doan Virginia Esterly,
“and tho halls are full.”
That the now arrangement has caused
no ill feeling among the upperclass
men is shown not only by the honorary
basis upon which the system has been
placed, but also by their increased reg
istration, and consequent return to the
University.
Women who found it necessary to
obtain rooms in private homos in the
city arc all well placed, Dean Esterly
declared. This was due to the personal
visitation of every house on the room
ing list.
Sororities Pledge More
Tho increased number of women
pledged to sororities this year has to
a greater cxtont than ever taken care
of the increasingly difficult housing
problem. Last year but 79 women were
pledged, whereas this year over 125
women received bids to the seventeen
sororities.

ORATORICAL TRY-OUTS
SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
Winner to Represent Oregon in Contest
At Convention of Pacific Coaat
Public Speaking League
Try-out to select an extempore
speaker who will represent the Uni
versity of Oregon at a contest to be
held at the convention of the Pacific
coast public speaking league, will be
held this morning in Villard hall, from
9 to 12 o’clock.
“The number of contestants for the
try-out is gratifying,” said H. E. Bos
son, University debate coach. “Con
sidering the fact that the contest is
being held so near the beginning of
the school year while the students are
not yet settled, we are pleased with
the showing.”
Many of the candidates are from the
public speaking classes of the Uni
versity. Several former debaters are
out, and some students who are not en
rolled in classes of public speaking are
participating. Both men and women
are entered in the try-out.
This is the first time that the Uni
versity has entered such a contest,
states Mr. Rosson. It is a particularly
difficult type of contest. The partici
pants in the meet to be held here next
month will not Know tne exact huujcoi
that is to be disscussed until an hour
before the contest takes place.
Sometime before ‘the final discus
sion, the president of the league will
send out a general topic to the con
tendants. This topic will be subdivided
into more specific parts and given to
the speakers only a short time before
they must discuss it. Meanwhile they
may be working upon the general sub
ject.
Oregon is one of the nine colleges
that will take part in the convention.
The largest of tho Pacific coast uni
versities, including Stanford, Univer
sity of California, University of
Southern California, University of
Washington and O. A. C. are entered
in the contest.

NTEBE5T IN STUDENT
MOVEMENT IS URGED
Delegates From University
to Attend Convention
“We should like to stir up an in
terest among the students on the cam
pus over the student volunteer move
ment,” said Florence Magowan, sec-1
retary of the Y. W. C. A., in an inter-1
view yesterday. “Both Mr. Davis,;
secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and my- j
self are anxious to meet those stu-!
dents who expect to some time do work
in foreign fields. Most every campus
has a group of students who are in
terested in such work, and who want
to educate themselves to the needs and;
opportunities in such a filed,” she said.
The student volunteer movement
holds a convention every four years,
once in a student generation. The
ninth convention of the movement is to
be held at Indianapolis, Indiana this
year, beginning on December 28 and
ending January 1. An invitation to the
Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. at the
University have been received, urging
the associations to send delegations.
“I have been to some of these con
ventions, and I "know they are won
derful”, stated Miss Magowan. “They
are inspirational, and broaden one’s
outlook. And the most interested and
earnest workers in the field attend
them”.
The purposo of the convention is to
emphasize the solidarity of mankind,
and the interdependence of all nations
and races. It is to bring out the
critical needs and possibilities of the
situation in the world today, and to
consider the responsibility of the
Christain students of the United States
and Canada in the light of this situa
tion. Delegations from more than one
thousand institutions in the United
States and Canada, are expected to be
at the convention this year.

was reached because university of
ficials believed it to be an unnecessary
burden added to the duties of the dean
of women.
It was decided that the small amount
of information and help contained in
the weekly lecture could be given
through individual opinion and assist
ance from the dean of women, Mrs.
Virginia Judy Esterly.
The policy of the dean did not in
clude the giving of such a course, and
because the difficulty of presenting it
to the freshmen women of the univer
sity with her slight knowledge of ex
isting condition here, the decision to
abolish it was accepted as most favor
able to all concerned.
Most universities do not give such
a compulsory course in ethics, although
at O. A. C. it is included in the
schedule for freshmen girls.
