Society By Lylah Lou MeMurphey College folk found the past week end filled with formal dances, teas, initiations and other smaller af fairs. The beginning of the win ter term is always a busy time for those connected with initiations, and after they are over there are the formals to take one’s time. Aside from all the more or less “expected” affairs, there have been a score of other worth-while attrac tions such as Sousa’s band, the lec ture by Sherwood Anderson and the Mu Phi Epsilon concert last week. Tomorrow evening the Ko chanski violin concert will attract many; this is one of the Univer sity of Oregon concert series. Considerable interest is being shown in Mr. Schroff’s annual ex hibit of paintings whieh will be open for the remainder Of this week. A lovely tea of Saturday after noon was that for which members of Sigma Beta Phi were hostesses at Alumni hall in honor of their house mother, Mrs. J. Warren Kays, and their patronesses, who are Mrs. Alfred L. Lomax, Mrs. Louis E. Bean and Mrs. Alonzo E. Roberts. In the receiving line with Mrs. Kays and the patronesses were Miss Bertha Whillock of Corvallis, dis trict councilor of Sigma Kappa Sor ority, and Mrs. Virginia Judy Es terly.

This is an annual affair given by these men and this year tlTey had as their 'guests the seniors of the two houses. The huge “bar” was perhaps the most effective part of the decora tions and in addition to this there were many bottles, kegs, jugs and other relics of former days. Beer posters on the walls and dice for lights made it look like the inside of an old-time saloon. Grape-juiee, pretzels and cheese sandwiches were dispensed over the bar to the hungry dancers. Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Huntington and Mr. Del Stannard were pat rons and patron'ess. # * * The Hotel Osburn was the scene of the Alpha Chi * Omega formal dinner-dance Saturday evening from 7 until 12.

UNIVERSITY HI TEAM IN CHAMPIONSHIP LINE The University high school bask etball team leaves Eugene Friday to play Roseburg. If it wins there, and in the near future beats Cot tage Grove aftd Albany, it will play Eugene to determine which will be sent to the state tournament, held at Salem. University high school won the championship two years ago when Gordon Ridings, now on Oregon’s freshman basketball team, was playing forward. The present team deserves a great deal of credit for not a player is over 16 years old and all are small boys in height and weight. Coach Louie Anderson has great hopes for the team and. says that although it is only good now, in two years and possibly one it will be in line for the state championship again. Last year it just missed being sent to the state tournament by a few points lost to Eugene high.

A girl who starts out in life without wealth, friends, or influence, at tains success through her energy and vigorous intelligence. From a small mill town in the Middle West she goes, as thB story progresses, to the more interesting parts of the United States and Europe. She belongs to no circle, is possessed by no one, but moves constantly up ward until she stands isolated, mag nificent and a little tragic upon the lonely pinnacle of her own building. Other books which have been add ed to the collection are: “Color,” a book of poems by Countee Cullen, the negro poet; “Bread and Cir cuses,” by W. E. Woodward, author Classified Ads --— M3SCROSCOPE for sale: New $60 Bausch & Lomb pocket model at wholesale cost.
