♦ 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

/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

senors and laughing senoritas.

orations.

’Mum Sale Starts
For Homecoming
Delivery Will Feature Sale
Sponsored by A. W. S.
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

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.

Cooper at Colonial Sunday
Gary Cooper, popular star of
many successes including “The
Virginian,” appears at the Colonial
Sunday and Monday in “The Man
From Wyoming." 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

The November issue of "Old Ore

A new feature of the issue is a
