♦ SOCIETY** By CAROL HL’RLBURT Ghost Dances, Street Mobs, Feature Hallowe’en Dusk last night was weird and spooky ... all Hallow’s eve. For mal social gatherings there were none; only ghostly dances and ri otous street gatherings. The streets were patrolled until dawn by students looking for trouble, and the early morning found so rority houses badly decorated with relics from O. S. C. and from the farm-yard. Parties to which no men were invited were held behind locked doors by Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Sigma Kappa. Tonight will be another riot with the circus going on at the Igloo. The Sophomore Informal will be most strictly “informal,” and everyone is supposed to come ready to raise just a little more cain. The evening is closed to all other dances. ♦ * * Gamma Phis Dance In Witch's Grotto Six dances were given last night (this does not include the im promptu street balls). Men who went to the Gamma Phi Beta pledge dance walked into a witch’s grotto, where black crows stared at them and spiders’ webs brushed against their clothes and faces. A large owl with star ing, illuminated eyes watched the festivities unblinkingly. Mary Wood was in charge of the affair. Patrons and patronesses were: Mrs. Josephine Stewart, Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Schwering, Mrs. Bogart, and Mr. and Mrs. George Hitchcock. * * * Fljis Hold Barn Brawl in Country Phi Gamma Delta held a barn dance ’way out in the country at Stevenson's barn, which has a real hay-loft in it and real hay (which gets in your clothes and pricks you in the wrong places). The barn dance is an annual Hallowe'en affair. Bill Crowe had charge of the arrangements. Pa trons and patronesses were: Fred O. Harris, Prof. Nowland B. Zane, Michael Mueller, and Andrew Vin cent. Gambling Hell Goes Unraided An unraided gambling "hell” went on Friday night in Sherry Ross hall, where 16 couples, upper classmen and their guests, played desperately for high stakes in the "Sherry Ross Casino,” once a pro saic living room. The affair, known as the Sherry Ross Biltmore Bust, was a dinner dance, and recaptured the atmos phere of Monte Carlo, with suave doormen to receive guests, "cham pagne” in ice buckets, and the air of excitement which surrounded the "gambling” tables. Dinner was served in the green room of the dorm. The toastmaster, Hen shaw Nigh, called on William Clinger, speaker of the evening, Prof. Donald M. Erb, and Leo Samuels, president of the hall. Bridge and dancing followed din ner. Prof, and Mrs. Donald M. Erb were patron and patroness. * * * Kappa Delta Has Unholy Hallowe’en Unholy black caves, dancing skeletons, and grinning jack-o lanterns played their part in the Hallowe'en dance with which Kap pa Delta honored its pledges. The orchestra beat out "low-down rhythm" from a “devil's cave." Eleanor Jewett had charge of arrangements. Patrons and pa tronesses were: Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Caswell, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Koke, Mrs. Alberta Powell, and Mr. and Mrs. Earl M. Pallett. ♦ ♦ ♦ Kappa Sigma Uses Pledge l*in as Motif Hallowe'en was given full recog nition at I he Kappa Sigma pledge dance. Besides the traditional Hallowe’en decorations, the pledge pin took a prominent place in the evening, as it was hung on 'he walls and used in the features of the evening. The affair was for pledges and sophomores only, but three upperclassmen were allowed to attend. Patrons and patronesses were: Dr. and Mrs. Del Stanard, Mr and Mrs. Leslie Cage, Mrs. L. W. Pitt man, ami Mrs. Jennie M. Wade. Charles White was freshman chairman for the dance, which was given at the chapter house. * • • Chant of Jungle Heard at Sig Ep " . . . hear the chant of the jungle for it speaks of savage charms; tropic nights and lover’s arms." A jungle night was arranged for | the pledge dance of Sigma Phi ! Epsilon. Dripping fir boughs, fra grant. pine; bear, deer (unfortu nately stuffed), guns, rifles, and I hunting equipment in profusion j formed the decorations. Patrons and patronesses were: Mr. and Mrs. O. Patterson, Mr. and Mrs. O. K. Burrell. Fred An derson was general chairman. * * * | /eta Tau Alpha Has Spanish Air The dreamy and romantic at mosphere of old Spain was cap j tured at the Zeta Tau Alpha pledge dance which was held at the chapter house. A Spanish dream castle, with Moorish architecture, rose against : a golden sunburst, which served | as the background for the gallant senors and laughing senoritas. Nellie Mae Hadfield planned the dance and was in charge of dec orations. The list of patrons and patron esses included: Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Schwering, Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Allen, Mrs. Elizabeth Frazier, and Mrs. H. A. Schwering. * * * Mrs. Lucy Perkins Honored at Reception A formal reception was given at' the Alpha Delta Pi chapter house I Thursday night, honoring Mrs.1 Lucy Perkins, the house mother.

L. Campbell. Present, be sides the honor guests, were Dor othy Eberhard, Daphne Hughes, Bess Templeton, Kay Langenberg, Mildred McGee, and Margaret Cummings.

Making preparations for what they expect to be the biggest anti most successful chrysanthemum sale ever sponsored on the cam pus, Ann Baum and Alexis Lyle have called a meeting today at 1 o’clock in the women’s lounge of tight girls who will supervise the sale in the living organizations oil the campus for the Associated Women Students. Of all times in the year when chrysanthemums are the appro priate decoration, Homecoming is the supreme moment. Homecoming with its color, Its enthusiasm, and its unbounded football spirit would be only half as effective without the chysanthemums bobbing on the coat of every co-ed and alumna at the game. The big golden ’mums will dc double duty this year for not only will they be featured at the big game Saturday afternoon, but may be worn to the very informal Homecoming dance that evening. Orders for the 'mums will be taken next week from Monday un til Wednesday noon. Students in each living organization on the campus have been selected to take the orders. Prices of 75 cents and $1 will make the 'mums especially at tractive, in the opinion of Alexis Lyle and Ann Baum, in charge. The dollar group of flowers will have green “O's” in the center. The lower priced flowers will be plain. Flowers are to be obtained from a local florist, who has guaran teed that they will be as fine as Tommy Luke's, which were used in the sale in Portland and proved very popular. A new feature of the sale is the tact that chrysanthemums will be delivered to addresses in Eugene with no extra charge. The following people will meet Saturday at l o'clock in the wo men's lounge of Gerlinger hall for instructions: Lucille Kraus, Edna Speaker. Jeanette Shultz, Nancy Taylor, Frances Drake, Myrtle I ( Shine When you’re in need of a little speed on your shoes before the dance — just drop around and we’re sure to please. * * CAMPUS SHOE SHINE Across from Sigma ('hi Kerns, Ardis Ulrich, Velma Powell, Maryellen Bradford and Caroline Card.

WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? Amos n’ A >ndy playing in their first talkie at the Heilig Sunday. Heilig—Saturday only, "Re no.” Sunday to Thursday, “Amos 'n' Andy.” Colonial Saturday only, "The Cuckoos.” Sunday and Monday, Gary Cooper in "The Man From Wyoming.” McDonald Saturday only, “Renegades.” Sunday and Mon day, John Gilbert in “Way for a Sailor.” Rex Saturday and Sunday, Hoot Gibson in “The Concen tratin’ Kid.” McDonald Picture by Salem Writer “Way for a Sailor,” starring John Gilbert, and opening at the McDonald Sunday, should have a special interest for college folk. The picture is produced from a book written by Albert Richard Wetjen, Salem author. Mr. Wetjen has several times lectured on the campus. He is the author of a good many short stories on the sea. The picture tells of the some times humorous, sometimes stir ring, but always dramatic adven tures of a group of hard-boiled seamen. Wallace Eeery and Jim Tully have prominent roles, with Leila Hyams furnishing the “love ly lady” element. Amos ’n’ Andy at the Heilig One of the big pictures of the year is "Check and Double Check,” starring Amos ’n’ Andy, inimitable stars of radioland. In this fun riot, their first talking picture, one may both see and hear the Fresh Air Taxicab company and Madame Queen. While incorporating the characters of the popular broad cast, the story is built on all new material. Supporting them is a big cast including Sue Carol. Irene Ruth, Rita Laroy, and Ralph Har olde and his band. * * * “Reno” Has Divorce Theme “Reno”, starring Ruth Roland and closing today at the. Heilig theatre, is a picture of divorce and the evils that follow in its wake. I* in no sense attempts to preach a moral, but succeeds in making a dramatic story of one of our present day problems. Region Picture Stars Baxter In a dramatic story of four “de serters” from the Foreign Legion, Warner Baxter stars in “Rene gades,” which closes its McDonald run today. He is supported by the exotic Myrna Loy, playing the role of a spy bent on destroying him. Best scene is the interior of a des ert fortress during an encounter with Arabs. French soldiers hadn't had water for days. That scene is alone worth the price of admission. Gibson at Rex Hoot Gibson rides the ranges again in his latest talking picture, “The Concentratin’ Kid,” playing at the Rex theatre today and Sun day. He displays to good advan tage his fame as a rodeo and cow girl prizewinner.

The picture is a poignant story of the war, and it is said that Cooper does the most dramatic work of his career in this film. Lovely June Collyer has the feminine lead, with Regis Toomey in the supporting cast. “Cuckoos” Is Comic Film Filled with delirious fun and hi larious nonsense, "The Cuckoos” is playing the Colonial for today only. It is the opus for the mad dest pair of comics ever to grace the screen, Bert Wheeler and Rob ert Woolsey, who won picture fame in “Rio Rita.” It is a wild riot of waggery all about gypsy queens and drunken parties. “OREGON TRAIL” IS TOPIC FOR CONTEST (Continued from rage Our) ruled, the several sheets being numbered consecutively and writ ten on one side only, with blank space of about one and one-quarter inches at top and left-hand mar gin. 3.
