(By Lylah McMurphey)
Although there was a lull in the
social schedule of most organiza
tions this week, the various class
parties on Friday evening, the
Guild hall play, and the many in
itiations of the different groups on
the campus have kept all busy.
However, February will prove to be
an interesting month with its many
holidays and celebrations, even
though it lacks in length.

The Woman’s building was lovely
Saturday evening as the scene of
the Kappa Kappa Gamma formal.
Acacia and palms were arranged
in the center of the room so that
the reflection of them appeared in
the mirrors. Paper over the lights
cast a soft rose glow over the
rooms. Mildred Roberts of Salem,
gave a Russian dance for a feature.
Patrons and patronesses were
Mrs. Lettie Mowrey, Mrs. Virginia
Esterly, Dr. .and Mrs. J. M. Miller,
Dr. and Mrs. George I. Hurley, and
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chambers. Sup
per was served in the sun parlor.
Preceeding the formal, the en
gagement of Florence Allen and Ed
win Tapfer was announced at the
Kappa Kappa Gamma house of
which Miss Allen is a member. The
FRESHMEN HOOPSTERS
TO PLOY O.O.C. ROOKS
Yearlings in Good Form
For Basket Fracas
The freshman basketball team
will meet the O. A. C. Books in
Corvallis next Saturday afternoon.
February 7, at 2:00 This tilt will
be the big game of the season for
the frosh hoopsters and promises to
be a hard game for them. So far
this season, comparative scores
point to a Book victory and give
the O. A. C. first-year men a better
rating than the Oregon freshmen.
These ratings are principally
based on the scores of the two
quintets when they played against
the speedy Franklin five. In these
two tilts, the Books defeated the
Maroon, and Gray players by a 27
to 24 score and the frosh lost to
them by a 28 to 26 score, thus giv
ing the Books a 5 point rating over
the yearling squad. However this
advantage can hardly be expected
to hold true as two or three other
facts must be sighted.
When the Books played the
Quaker squad, they were well into
their mid-season form and had de
veloped good team work. The
freshmen had none of these advan
tages in their tilt with the Franklin
five. Previous to this game the
frosh had only completed two weeks
of practice, the large squad had not
been cut down, the style of play
had not been well developed and
the men who went into the game
had not played together before. The
only thing they had with them in
that contest was their fight and
they promise to show it again Sat
urday.
The frosh showed a great im
provement over their pre-season
form on their trip south last week
end. They brought home the bacon
in both tilts, winning the first by a
36 to 21 score and the second by
22 to 19. Both contests were played
with the powerful Medford Jrigih
quintet and were run off on their
home floor.
R. 0. T. C. TEAM WINS i
FIRST RIFLE MATCH
The men’s R. O. T. C. rifle team
won the first practice match of the
year from the women’s rifle team
Saturday. The average score for
the women marksmen was just
above 90 points while the score of
the men’s team was a little better
than 92 points.
Another match between these two
teams will be fired some day this
week. Conditions will be the same
as in last week’s match. Ten shots
each will be fired.
The R. O. T. C. marksmen are
scheduled to fire in the Ninth Corps
Area match next week, and it is es
sential that all the men get as much
practice as possible, says Captain J.
T. Murray.
table was lovely with pink rose
buds in the center and pink can
dies at the ends of the table. In
the corsages at each place were
found tiny scrolls with the names
of the couple written in gold.
Miss Allen is from Tacoma, Wash
ington, and is a sophomore on the
campus while Mr. Tapfer is a sen
ior from Milwaukie, Oregon, and
member of Bachelordon, Friars and
Alpha Kappa Psi. He is also chair
man of the Greater Oregon commit
tee and senior man on the executive
council.

Very informal was the first dance
given this year by the Craftsman’s
e!"b Saturday evening at the club
house after the basketball game.
About thrity-five or forty couples
were present, to whom punch and
wafers were served throughout the
evening. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
S. Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ij.
Lomax, and Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Stet
son were patrons and patronesses.
• • •
Saturday the upperclassmen of
Sigma Beta Phi entertained with a
dinner dance from 5:30 to 9:00 at
the chapter house. ,The lavender
and gold tulips formed the simple,
effective motif in the center of the
tables. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Simp
son were patron and patroness for
this affair.
• • •
Quite impromptu was the dance
given Saturday evening by the
girl’s Oregon club at their club
house. This followed the basketball
game and was chaparoned by Mrs.
Esther Watt and Mr. Harl R. Doug
lass. Punch was served late in’ the
evening.

HAZE AND HEAT WAVES
PREVENT OBSERVATION
Astronomical observatories are
usually placed on mountains be
cause of heat waves and haze, ac
cording to E. H. McAlister, profes
sor of mechanics and astronomy
here. When a telescope is used near
the sea level the stars are often
seen throngh this haze and appear
in very poor outline. Besides this,
the atmosphere near the earth is
full of dust, the clear air of higher
elevations being much better for as
tronomical observations.
