By MARGARET LOXG Frosh dee Successful Dance That Oregon women can be versa tile and enjoy an athletic contest as well as one of the largest clauses of the term was proven by the large number of co-eds that attended the first conference basketball gamo Saturday evening, January 21, at McArthur Court and then rushed hurriedly homo to change their at • tire and prepare for the Frosh Glee, held at the Woman's build ing. One would scarcely recognize some of the beautifully gowned creatures descending the stairway into the grotto at the ‘‘Glee” as the same girls, who, only a half hour before, had been enthusiasti cally cheering from the bleachers at the gamo. The grotto effect of the Frosh | Glee was achieved successfully. ! Masses of heavy black material that [ covered the walls ardund the room I caused an almost sinister ' atmo sphere to prevail, and eerie colored I lights focused from the balcony i searched out couples on the floor j and enhanced the attractiveness of ! sparkling and radiating dresses. Stalactites hung suspended from the [ ceiling and on the stage at the end of the room was a cave where a weird fire spit fourth green and red flashes of fire. George McMur pliey’s orchestra occupied a plat and Kenneth Allen sang for the ^ feature of the evening. Kenneth Curry was general chair man of the dance and Elbert Schroeder his assistant.

Large playing cards made up the decora tions in the room and t)je dance programs closely resembled dice. A unique way of presenting tho pat rons and patronesses with their pro grams was provided by a pair of large dice two feet square, in which •\yas enclosed another smaller pair of dice, and tho original programs inside of these. Patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. . Shumakeir, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Caswell, and Mr. and Mrs. Lon L.

C., and which will take place next Friday night, January 27, at the Eugeuc hotel. Roy Herndon lias charge of the dance. * * * Jerry Gunther, ’27, of Silverton, spent Saturday and Sunday at the Beta Theta Pi house. Pi Lambda Theta, national edu cational fraternity, entertained its initiates at a banquet Sunday eve ning, January 23. Communications (Continued from page two) fond of them and then preach the needs of the school to them.” As President Hall has said: “Wc want the fathers of our students to come to the University, enjoy the hospitality and our splendid ‘Ore gon Spirit,’ sec just, where the class es arc held; where the boys and girls live and play; also to become ac quainted with each other.” This, 1 believe, is a very fair and good reason for Dad’s Day. Many dads, who gladly furnish all or part of the money for their son’s or daugh ter’s education, often never even get an opportunity to see the institu tion which directs that education— to say nothing of knowing the way in which the money provided is spent. Therefore, it appears to me that Dad’s Day which, at least, will partially overcome such an unfortun ate situation, is certainly justifiable. If Dad is-unable to be here, lie will at least bo pleased to have re ceived an invitation from the Uni versity and his son and daughter. L. D. further states that “our president went through the cast and collected scalps to the total of a hundred and thirty thousand dollars which went to our medical school; and now he has come home to raise the rest from our fond parents.” In the first place, L. D. was very dis- j courteous in his reference to our president, Dr. Hall, in the second place, the inference is wholly un founded nnd untrue. Dr. Dali did nht collect scalps in the east. Ho merely presented the needs of our medical school to an eastern foundation and L. D. should j rejoice that our university has sr j president with enough initiative and ability to get such a gift. The dads j will not be asked for money. I will grant that they will sec our poor | equipment and buildings. However, it will not be necessary for us to point out our necessities to them; they will point them out to us. They will, indeed, be surprised to see the poor library and the other inade quate facilities their sons and daugh ters have with which to secure a college education. I will further concede that our dads will learn that the university, of which their sons and daughters are a part, needs their moral sup port. Again, however, no request will be necessary; they will gladly volunteer. Dads are only too happy to serve their sons and daughters and the institution which they at tend. L. D. has called the invitation sent his father by Dr. Hall a tearful one, and it appears that certain questions were asked as a result of the invitation. We too have a dad. He received no tearful invitation and he asked no discourteous ques tions. He was highly pleased to have received a letter from Dr. Hall, and from his sons. He is a real clad. He will be hern for Dad’s' Day if at all possible. Now that I have at least attempt ed to answer L. D.’s charges, may I just say a word concerning Dad’s Day. Dad’s Day is new with us, but has been held for several years at the University of Illinois and, as I understand, at several other mid-western institutions. At those institutions it lias been pronounced a decided success both by the stu dents and Hieir dads. This will be our first Dad’s Day and I hope that it will be so greatly enjoyed by us and our dads that it will be come a custom here and later ouo of our finest traditions. Dr. Hall is to be commended rather than ridi culed for instituting it on our cam pus. I hope this communication has not been discourteous. However, L. D. chose to draw conclusions without sufficient evidence. The student body and Dr. Hall need his constructive efforts rather than his destructive criticism. IIEBBEHT SOCOLOFSKY.

The University voted to purchase | the tennis courts erected some time ago, which arc now held under pri vate title, for $23,000. The tennis courts will hereafter be free, due to increased revenue from the rais ing of the physical education fee for students from $2 to $3. This also provides for the maintenance of the three old courts back of the library which will again be open to play. A fee of $10 will be charged freshmen who come to the Univer sity deficient in English. They will be required to take English A, not a part of the regular curricula, and Univrcstiv officials feel they should pay for this. Property amounting to $21,•175, near the University, was purchased recently, the committee reported. Judge J. W. Hamilton, Roseburg, was re-elected president of the board; Fred Fisk, Eugene, was re elected vice-president; and L. H. Johnson, comptroller of the Univer sity, was re-elected secretary.
