They are always overcrowded and not very successful.” Harvey Watson, sophomore in business administration: “Yes, I favor these dances because it af fords good clean entertainment for tiic students while they are in Port land.” Avis Seines, junior in education: “I do not' favor these dances be cause they tend to reflect on the University and they are not always attended by the University stu dents.” “I do not favor these dances,” says Bill Doyle, junior in economics, “because the University students do not. attend and because the dances arc not grille dances and I like grille dances.” George Kerr, sophomore in phy sics, remarked: “I think they’re all right but one can never get into them because they’re so crowded, but 1 do think that these dances are to be encouraged.” Wilderman To Handle Frosh Game Publicity Sam Wilderman, sports publicity manager, will leave today for Port land where he will handle publicity for the U. of 0.

Taylor and his assistant, Clifford Constance, have finished compiling the high school records of the freshmen and are now prepared to give advice to students concerning school problems based on these records and the psy chological tests given at the first of the year. Professor Taylor prefers that students conic'on Tuesday and Fri day afternoons from 0:00 to 5:00 room 005, Condon hall. Advice is given-in terms of prob abilities only, Professor Taylor ex plains. We do not advise the stud ent absolutely to follow a certain course. He must be willing to try out various possibilities and take the major responsibility for decis ions. Under 'these circumstances test scores may be used to identify differential strengths and weak nesses; to encourage changes of majo( in line with these and to discourage unpromising shifts; to stimulate effort where ability seems to warrant it but to avoid persis tence in futile endeavor; to ap praise causes of failure; and to re fute untrue rationalizations of failure. “We do not hold that these tests are absolutely accurate,” Professor Taylor said. “We merely say that they are better than so'nlebody’s guess, because they arc based on actual facts.” i Dyment (Continued on rage Three) west editor of the Telegram and the Journal.

Gleam, fresliman in business admini ation, is in St. Vincent’s hospit in Portland, ser iously ill with w»j$ what is believ ed to be a bone \ feetion in bis hip. Members of his fraternity. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, say that Glenn com plained of being in pain last Tues day, and Wednesday he went to the university dispensary for advice. Dr. Fred N. Miller, dispensary physician, was unable to diagnose the case exactly, but gave Glenn therapeutic lamp treatment and sent, him homo to bed, there being no vacant beds in the infirmary at the time. Dr. Miller says that lie did not believe the case serious, since the patient did not seem to be in particular pain, although he declared that he had not slept the night before. Glenn evidently dis obeyed the advice and went to a football game that night. In Portland Saturday the boy became seriously ill and was taken under physician’s care, and a diag nosis by Harry C. Blair indicated that Glenn had an abcessed hip. He was operated upon, but no abcess was discovered. When his condition became steadily worse a consulta tion was held and it was decided' that lie was suffering from a dis eased condition at the base of his spine. Whether he is to go under the knife has not yet been dis closed. Glenn was a first string half back on (lie freshman football team.

Election Draws Much Interest As Voting Nears Republican, Democratic Organizations Keeping Student Politics Active As the time for election day draws near, politically-minded students on the campus, despite the distraction of football, are busily engaged in furthering the interests of their various parties, and in seeing that favorable student attention is focus ed on the local, county, and state measures on the ballot that have a bearing on the university. William Adams, chairman of tlie campus Republican club, says that his organization, having attained its first object of getting all eli gible students to register, is now concerned with other goals, namely, to keep student interest in politics alive, to inform them about the candidates who will .favor the Uni versity of Oregon when they are elected, and to acquaint them with city, county, and state issues. Most of this work is being done by rep resentatives of the Republican club who live in various houses, and who create discussions among their members. A general meeting for all Republican students is scheduled for next Tuesday. The Smith college league is also lining up representatives for each house and is distributing literature and buttons. Word lias been receiv ed from the Democratic national committee that students represent ing more than -">00 colleges ami uni vi rsities have enrolled in the Smith college league. A speakers’ bureau is maintained by the national or ganizalion that is ready to supply speakers of national prominence to college rallies. FOUND Pair Kid Gloves and Prayer Book, Sunday, Oct. 14th.
