By HELEN SHANK The past week-end marked the end of the social season for the winter term as far as dances and most other festivities are concerned, and students are turning their undivided attention to last minute cramming, preparation of term papers and equally delightful occupations. How ever, the many affairs already sched uled for spring term promise to make it an equally interesting one. Foremost among these is the Seven Seers dance, which has been set for April 23. The custom as started by the Seven Seers of last year's regime to give a dance which would be a departure from the ordinary run of entertainment, to which all those whose names had been mentioned in the Seven Seers column were invit ed. The dance this year will be, as before, a costume cabaret, and Paul Luy declares that the attrac tions and features will be clever and unique in the extreme. The interesting Coffee Dens of San Franciso’s underworld furnish ed the motif for the informal dance given by Phi Gamma Delta upper classmen at the chapter house on Friday night. A most impromptu atmosphere prevailed. The guests came in costume and entered by a coaster slide in the doorway which furnished a great deal of amuse ment. A false ceiling of red draper ies, with dim red lights, gave the effect of subdued color. "When the dancers were called to supper they were seated at small tables and provided with small ham mers with which to rap their sum mons for the waiters, who promptly served them with the typical under world fare of tamales, ham buns and coffee in huge mugs. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Henningsen and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Kiggins. One of the largest affairs of the week was the benefit bridge party and tea given on Saturday after noon by Kappa Kappa Gamma at the chapter house, from two to six. Bridge tables were placed in the sun parlor and the-dining room, and additional guests called at four o’clock for tea, which was served in the drawing room. The house was softly lighted, and brightened with masses of bright yellow daffodils. Guests included a number of town and campus women, and in the eve ning from ten to twelve a group of campus folk called for bridge and dancing. A delightful musical program was given during the afternoon, consist ing of numbers by Miss Margaret Inwood on the violin, Miss Kath erine Inwood at the piano, and vocal solos by Miss Janet Pierce and William Porbis. One of the numerous parties made possible by the Washington’s birth day holiday was the breakfast dance for which members of Phi Kappa Psi were hosts on Tuesday morning at the Eugene hotel. The breakfast dance is an annual event of Wash ington’s birthday and has become a house tradition. * Guests were seated at small tables in the hotel dining room, and danc ing was enjoyed between courses. Each table was centered with a colorful bouquet of spring blos soms. As a special feature Tom Han ley gave a clog dance. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. McCook and Mrs. Raley of Pendleton. * # * An old fashioned lawn gay with flowering trellises transformed the Kappa Delta house into a quaint and spring-like garden on the occasion of the informal dance given by its members on Friday night. Pastel colored streamers covered the ceil ing, and the walls were embanked by tall slender hollyhocks with trail ing orchid and yellow mistaria cling ing to the lattices. Soft shaded Jap anese lanterns further enhanced the scene. Etha Jeanne Clark gave a dainty colonial dance as a feature. Patrons and patronesses were Mrs. Jeannette G. Eange, Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Cam eron, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Caswell and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Koke. * # » Members of Alpha Xi Delta sor ority were hostesses at a formal grille dance at the Eugene hotel on Saturday night.

Folts, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Johnson and Mrs. Chas. A. Gray. Underclassmen of Sigma Phi Ep silon were hosts at an informal dance at their chapter house on Friday night. The rooms represented a young man's college stu$y with typ ical accoutrements. At one end stood a dresser heaped with the usual line of things, and on another side was a study table and typewriter. Cov ering the walls were pennants of various colleges and schools, tennis rackets, canoe paddles and other im plements of warfare. Music was furnished by Sharkey Moore’s or chestra. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Warren D. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Parsons. An interesting informal was that given by Susan Campbell hall girls at the Woman’s building on Friday night, at which the pirate idea pre dominated in thfe decorations. Bowls of red carnations, and chandeliers shaded with red further carried out the color scheme, and the players in the orchestra were dressed in typ ical costumes of Captain Kidd days. Programs in the shape of pirates’ heads told the order of dances. The committee in charge of the decorations consisted of Emmabell Woodworth and Alice Laudien. Mar garet Holbrook gave a feature dance in pirate costume. Patrons and patronesses were Miss Ernestine Troemel, Miss Fanny Mc Camant, Mr. Lawrence de Byckc and Mr. Edward Kelly.

Woodworth of Tacoma, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Rapp and Capt. and Mrs. Frank Culin of I Eugene. * * * A number of out-of-town girls of the younger set were guests at the informal dance given by members of Alpha Delta Pi at their home on Saturday night. The scene was that of a cocoanut grove, filled with tall palms in whose branches perched tropical birds in varied hues. Softly shaded lights and red candles fur nished the only light. Refreshments were served from an oasis at one end of the room, where stood a striped tent circled by palm trees. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Chambers, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Jewett, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Griefe, Dean Virginia Judy Esterly and Mrs. Lucy Perkins.

Sigma Nu upperclassmen enter tained with a formal grille dance at their chapter house on Friday eve ning. Softly shaded lights and tall potted palms made a simple but at tractive background.

Walker and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carter. The decorations for the formal dance given by Pi Beta Phi at the chapter house on Saturday night were designed to carry out the motif of a trip into fairyland and a glimpse of all the queer little creatures who live there. Little hugs with suit cases in their hands and shoes on their feet had taken their places in the corners and on the cobwebs of tinsel which fairy spiders had woven on the walls. Patrons and patronesses were Dean ad Mrs. H. D. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Oberteuffer and Mrs. Frank Benson. • * * Freshmen of Alpha Phi and Gam ma Phi Beta were joint hostesses at a tea dansant at the Alpha Phi house on Saturday afternoon.
