They were rehearsing yesterday
on the little stage in the Ad build

is a little early to predict a suc

shown most admirable technique. It
is not an easy thing for university
women to assume again the manner

voices, their movements and ex
pressions.
Snow White Convincing
Yet this has been done with a
surprising degree of authenticity.
The little friends of -Princess Snow
White are convincing in their parts.
They talk excitedly, spontaneously,
enthusiastically. Their gestures are
the gestures of little girls. They
put their arms around each other,
hug each other when delighted over
something, just as one has seen little

To Open Spring Term
With tin* closing of win tor term
Ike executive council of the Wom
en’s league of the university is
looking back on practically six
months of varied and extensive ac
tivity. The year of 1928-20 has so
far been one of great success, ac
cording to Edith Dodge, league
president.
The president told of the big sis
ter work which has proceeded in a
very systematic and satisfactory
manner this year. Helen Peters,
head of the big sister committee, \s
now gathering in written, reports
from the big sister captains which
will show how each little sister has
been cared for. This work will con
tinue next term also.
The foreign scholar who is brought
here each year by the W’oman's
league is helped along bv such acti- >
vities as the Christmas College ball
in Portland during the holidays and
the Dime Crawl given once each
term on the campus. Toddy Swaf
ford is in charge of the foreign
scholar fund.
The regular league teas have con
tinued throughout winter term.
There was also a formal tea honor
ing Hazel Prillsnuln, dean of women.
“Attendance at the teas has been
larger this year than ever before, 1
believe,” Edith Dodge said. The
league’s annual mass meeting was
held February 28 with Katherine
Rogers Adams, dean of women at
Mills college, as the featured
speaker. Dean Adams is a well
known figure in A. A. P. W. work.
She was entertained with a formal
banquet before her return to Cali
fornia.
A history of tile organization has
been compiled by Graeia Haggerty,
a thing which Iocs heretofore not
been attempted. A scrjip book of
all the printed news of the league
is also being kept by Dorothy Kirk
which will show by newspaper
stories the importance of the activi
ties of the organization.
Envelopes Sold
The sale of grade envelopes—the
proceeds of which will go to furnish
ing a room in the new infirmary—
has been sponsored b.y the league

Merger Will Work,
Believes Dean of
Education School
Pointing out tluit tho merger of
tlio boards of regents in Oregon’s
higher schools, effectoil at the just
completed legislative session, should
tend to develop, without interfer
ence from other institutions, the
particular field of each school, Dean
11. T). Sheldon, when asked what he
thought of the plan, expressed the
belief that “it will probably Work
out all right.”
“The chance is, in the average
individual board of regents plan,
that each one goes its own way and
absorbs as much as it can of the
other institution's field. The new
plan should confine each school to
its own proper field.
“It is greatly, to the interest of
the state that each type of institu
tion should do its particular work.
Of course it depends on its being
worked out in a large and states
manlike way, but I think there is
good reason to think it will be,”
concluded the dean.

“Aside from the moral standpoint,

detracts from their charm, beauty

Experience First-hand
Mrs. Heck has many carefully
founded ideas on the almost entire
ly new subject of “floating univer
sities,” and these,ideas are backed
by personal contact with former
student tours, gained while she was
in the Orient.’ When asked what
types of students should be included
in the tours, she answered without
hesitut ion:
“Upperclassmen only — serious
minded types, who will subordinate
pleasure-seeking to the main pur
pose of tho trip, education. They
must consider that they are getting
far more than they are giving up.
It would probably be better to in
clude men students only, because
mixing sexes inevitably brings
social’interests to detract from tho
educational program. The major in
terest of the students makes no dif
ference, but they surely must have
mature minds, capable of applying
themselves whole-heartedly to tho
purpose of the tour.”
