Hue to the sharp cold, the beauti
ful moonlight nights of the past
week have not yet made canoeing on
the mill race so popular as to divest
dances of their attractiveness, and
indoor pleasures still prevail. How
ever, the lovely sunshiny afternoons
have had all the effects of the first
days of spring and have proved
quite distracting to mental pursuits
of all kinds. Numerous guests from
Portland have been enjoying Ore
gon hospitality and collecting im
pressions of University life, and
they have been as entertaining as
entertained.
A French name, and menus and
programs written “en francais” lent
a typical Parisian atmosphere to
the formal supper dance at which
members of Kappa Alpha Theta
were hostesses at their chapter
house on Saturday night. The scene
was that of a French night club,
and soft drapes in old rose and
lavender over all the walls made a
colorful and effective background.
Ted O’Hara entertained with sev
eral popular selections.
The feature of the evening, how
ever, was the announcement of the
engagement of Miss MyraBelle
Palmer, a junior on the campus,
and a member of Kappa Alpha
Theta, to Fred Hendricks of San
Francisco, who was a former stu
dent here and is affiliated) with
Sigma Chi. The news was charming
ly told by two little girls in old
fashioned costume who distributed
corsages among the guests, each
bearing a card with the two names.
The wedding will be an event of
September.
Patrons and patronesses were Mrs.
George M. Reed, President and Mrs.
Arnold Bennett Hall, Dean Virginia
Judy Esterly, and Dean and Mrs.
D. H. Walker.
Sixty couples attended the formal
dance given by members of Delta
Delta Delta on Saturday evening
at the chapter house. The rooms
were made bright and colorful with
spring flowers, palms and ferns, and
the lighting came entirely from
large colored spotlights in the cor
ners. What once was a fireplace was
transformed into a little woodland
nook, where a tiny waterfall
trickled its way through ferns and
mossy stones, and one wall was a
bank of potted tulips, lit by soft
colored flickering lights. Supper
was served from small tables in the
balcony, which had as their center
pieces Txraquets of daffodils and
ferns. The programs were of crested
leather in the fraternity colors of
silver, gold and blue.
Patrons and patronesses were Mrs.
E. Bel Chandler, Mrs. Virginia Judy
Esterly, Rev. and Mrs. Bruce j.
Giffen, Prof, and Mrs. A. R. Sweet
ser, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Gilbert, Mr.
and Mrs. Carlton E. Spencer, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Booth and Mr.
Walter M. Pierce.
Another charming informal dance
was the one given by Sigma Phi
Epsilon at the chapter house Satur
day night, at which about fifty
couples were guests. The walls and
ceilings were covered entirely with
interlaced streamers giving the ap
pearance of lattice work, and near
the hearth stood a huge basket, lit
from the floor beneath, filled with
bright colored baloons which flut
tered in a hidden breeze. Bed was
the predominating color scheme,
further carried out by soft red
lights which colored the shadows
with a dim glow.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr. 1
and Mrs. Harry Scott, Dr. and Mrs.
Donald Barnes and Mr. William P. i
Maddox. i

Condon Club, the association for j
members of the geology department,
entertained with a clever barn dance !
on Friday night at the old Country 1
Club. The guests, who were all j
dressed in hard-times costumes, fit- [
ted in perfectly to the unique sur
roundings. Straw on the floor,
scythes and pitchforks in the cor
ners, and glimmering light from
smoky red lanterns made a perfect '
setting for the hilarious and enjoy- ■
able affair. Befreshments of dough
nuts and grape juice were served
during the evening. Honor guests
for the dance were Prof, and Mrs.
H. G. Tanner.
The Eugene hotel was the scene
of the formal dinner dance given
by members of Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority last Saturday night, at
which Valentine decorations made
the rooms bright and interesting of
detail. Lovely old-fashioned cot- j
sages were placed at each table as
centerpieces. The feature of the
evening was a charming old fash
ioned minuet given by a little boy :
and girl in old fashioned costumes,
who entered the room through the !

Patrons and patronesses for the
dance were Prof, and Mrs. Homer
P. Rainey, Dean Virginia Judy Es
terly, Mrs. Abbie Z. Marsh, Miss
Maude Kerns and Mr. and Mrs.
John McGinty.
On Saturday night Friendly hall
tentertained with a formal dance
which was made unusually enjoy
able by the clever decorations. The
scene represented the top of the
world, and a false ceiling of blue
filled with twinkling stars gave the
appearance of the sky at midnight.
The feature of the evening was a
duet by two Hawaiian steel guitars.
Behind a huge gold crescent moon
as a partial screen John Mohr’s
Campus Scamps furnished music for
the dancing.
• Patrons and patronesses for the
affair were Mr. and Mrs. Carlton E.
Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. Robert D.
Horn and Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. ;
Davis.
Several of the alumnae and moth
ers of Theta Delta chapter of Delta
Delta Delta entertained with a
charming bridge party on Tuesday
afternoon at the chapter house here.
The room* were beautifully decorat
ed with spring flowers and great
bunches of pussywillows. Twelve
tables of bridge were in play, and
additional guests called during the
tea hour.
Hostesses for the affair were Mrs.
E. Bel Chandler, Mrs. F. G. Jen
nings, Mrs. D. J. McKinnon, Mrs.
Frank Carll, Mrs. W. O. Swan, Mts.
T. H. Mehl, Mrs. G. Garrett and
Mrs. E. E. Johnson.
Upperclassmen of Phi Delta Theta
entertained their friends at a formal
dinner dance at the chapter house
on Saturday night. Each table was
centered with a lovely bouquet of
spring blooms in bright colors, and
soft green ferns and potted palms
in the corners and surrounding the
orchestra made a lovely background.
Ted O’Hara amused the guests in
characteristic fashion with some
popular songs which he accompanied
on his banjo.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. A. R. Rogers and Dr. and
Mrs. Fox.
The announcement of the engage
ment of Bertha Berger of La
Grande, Oregon, to Frank Vonder
ahe of Richmond, California, was
made at the Alpha Delta Pi house
last night.
The table was decorated with
trees within hearts, and the an
nouncement was made on concealed
place cards.
Mr. Vonderahe was an assistant in
the chemistry department on the
campus and a member of Sigma Xi,
honorary scientific organization.
Miss Berger has been out of school
for a year and is now in La Grande.

The Chi Psi Lodge was the scene
of a peppy and interesting informal
dance last Friday 'night. Potted
palms served as an effective back
ground for the bright colored frocks
of the co-eds invited to share the
fun, and dancing was enjoyed in the
living rooms and on the front porch
which was enclosed wnth dark blue
drapes.
Patrons and patronesses were Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Hopkins and Prof,
and Mrs. Frederic S. Dunn.
In honor of Miss Celia Gavin,

gon, who was visiting in Eugene as

Fourteen Attend Portland
School; Graduates
Successful
There is a tremendous opportun
ity open in the line of social serv
ice, according to Margaret D.
Creech, of the Portland School of
Social work. She was on the cam
pus last week and held conferences
rvith those who are contemplating
entering the Portland school.
Public health nurse training and
■social work are the two courses
now open in Portland. There are
14 enrolled in the two classes, six;
of whom were formerly on the cam
pus. One of the students comes ■
from Northwestern University and!
another from Willamette. Stanford,,
Washington and Nebraska have al
so been represented in the past, i
After three years’ work on the I
campus, the student may take his
fourth year in the Portland school
and receive his degree.
The graduates of the school have
met with much success, Miss Creech
declared. Lucile McClung McBride,
formerly on the campus, is doing
medical social work in the Veter
ans’ hospital in Portland.. Other
graduates are doing work in Bal
timore, Maryland, St. Louis, Los
Angeles, and Shanghai.
The work of the visiting teacher,
of the medical service, of the de
linquency court, and of the Trav
elers’ Aid are some of the Trav
ized fields open. Family case work
in settlement districts especially,
and the problems of the hobo family
of the west are other interesting
phases of the work. Four hundred
were enrolled in the 24 professional
social service schools in the coun
try last year, according to a survey
made by the American Society of
Social Workers, and 800 positions
were open for them. The pay, Miss
Creech declared, was good and the
chance for advancement wide.
Miss Creech will probably leave
the campus at noon today. Anyone
who wishes, may get in touch with
her through the Extension Division
offices in the Household Arts build
ing.

lot of unnecessary bothering after
registration hours.
“It will serve as a medium of
acquaintanceship between faculty
members of the various departments.
“It will reduce the registration
period to about two days.
“It will give the faculty time to
prepare its book reserve list for
the library before recitations start.
“With the present University fa
cilities,” continued Mr. Loukas,
“there are only three buildings that
have rooms large enough where reg
istration could be carried on with
best possible efficiency—the read
ing room of the reserve library, the
auditorium of the Woman’s building
and McArthur court. However, the
most satisfactory of the three is
the auditorium of the Woman’s
building because of its capacity and
nearness to the campus. Registra
tion in this building can be carried
on under this system with much
greater efficiency than could be
carried on in individual offices scat
tered about the campus buildings.
The tables can be arranged in eight
groups, and departments that are
more or less related to one another
may be placed close together. The

“It is conceded by statesmen and
educators alike,” said Mr. Loukas,
“that there is always room for im
provement even in the most effic
iently functioning societies. The
truth of such statement is self evi
dent and obviously needs no argu
ment or proof to establish its valid
ity. The measure of its accuracy
may be easily determined by one’s
own experience in social and com
munity affairs of any nature.
“From my experience and obser
vation and from complaints uttered
by both faculty and students,” Mr.
Loukas said, “I am inclined to be- j
lieve that there is a need for im- j
provement in more than one line !
in our university. I am conscious of
the undeniable fact that no matter
how necessary the improvements
may be and how great their demand,
they can never be brought about at
an instant, but must come gradual
ly, especially if they are to be some
what permanent.”
No changes in the methods of ob
taining registration material or the
kind of material used were suggest
ed by Mr. Loukas, as he believes
the present methods are systematic.
The plan is followed in twenty-two
universities and colleges.
It is the opinion of Mr. Loukas
that the unified registration would
prove at least ninety per cent more
satisfactory than the present sys
tem. Charts showing the possible
arrangements have been worked out,
as well as a detailed arrangement
for departments. Much more detail
is included in the plan than is in
cluded here.
Mr. Loukas was a member of the
student investigation committee last
year.
