By HELEN SHANK The formal season is in full swing, and eampus folk are vieing with one another for cleverness and or iginality of ideas in entertainment, with some very charming results. Foremost among the events of the week-end was the annual military ball given by the Officers’ Club of the University R. O. T. C. last Fri day night at the Osburn hotel.

Patter son, Dean and Mrs. J. H. Gilbert, Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. W. S. Sinclair, Major and Mrs. John P. Bubb, Capt. and Mts. Frank Culin, Capt. and Mrs. John J.

Impressions from a Mother Goose story book fur nished a delightful motif for dec oration. The front doors represent ed the cover of the book and the walls of the living rooms were pages, each one portraying some familiar Mother Goose character done in vivid colors, on bright back grounds. The whole atmosphere was unique and colorful and furnished a charm ing setting for the affair. Music was furnished by the Blue Boys, and as a feature during the intermission i Ted O’Hara gave several selections | with his mandolin.

The guests were seated i at small tables about the room, and at each table were old-fashioned brass candlesticks holding black candles, with bowls of fruit as cen terpieces. Lighting was furnished solely by old lamps, which gave a dim and shadowy effect in keeping with the scheme of things. Tiny red leather programs told the order of dances. Patrons and patronesses were Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, Mrs. Lucy Abrams, Mr. and Mrs. Prank Rhein hart and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Miner.

Students Like Fencing Work; Many Enrolled Both Men and Women Practice Ancient Exercise Both men and women evidence a great deal of interest in fencing, says W. C. Davisson, instructor, al though men have more energy to spend upon it. At the very begin ning, the women are more timid in practice than the men, but when they have become accustomed to it, Mr. Davisson finds them to be more daring than the men, and less afraid of getting hurt. Classes in fencing for girls are being given three times a week this year. There are about 35 girls en rolled in the beginning and ad vanced classes. In the advanced class a new “ladder” system is be ing used, which keeps the girls play ing in a sort of continual tourna ment. The names are kept in the order of the bouts won, and *any girl may challenge any girl above her on the list, and if she wins, five touches constituting a victory, their names are interchanged. The girls 'taking part in this “ladder” tournament are Hulda Thom, Agnes Palmer, Claudie Sej sanous, Audrey Hall, Victoria Ed wards, June Boesen, Margaret Thompson, Marie Palo, Joy Ingalls, Gladys Baylis, DeLillian Olsen, Frances Murray, and Katharine Tal bott. Fencing was started on the Ore gon campus three years ago, and Mr. Davisson believes it will go on gaining in popularity because of its splendid opportunity for exercise and muscular control. As an or ganized sport, fencing began in 1891 with the formation of the Amateur Fencers League of America. The basic assurance for the future of fencing in America lies in its rapid (growth among the colleges, Mr. Davisson believes. Ten years ago the intercollegiate championship went automatically to the Naval Academy or West Point. But in the spring of 1926 Yale captured all the honors—foil epee and sabre. In 1920 for the first time, Amer ica placed in fencing at the Olympic games when our foil team won third place. One hundred and fifty dates a year with different girls is the aim of a club formed at the University of Michigan. A man is eligible only when he has been seen in company with a pretty girl and gives her name when initiated. He must also furnish her address and phone num ber.

A new theory for evading low grades is offered by the students of Colorado Agriculture College. A drag on a cigaret between classes, the students claim, furnishes them with a certain stimilus which aids them in class work. Basketball (Continued from page one) Gunther, veteran Oregon forward, was shifted to guard where he watched Schuss, Washington's all coast forward.
