The possibilities of the season were brought home to us yesterday when the Asso ciated Women Students swung into action. Twenty-two women’s living organizations have decided to reverse the usual procedure for "Dime Crawl.” Men's houses will hold “At Homes,” while the women will make the rounds, paying a dime for the privilege of entering any one house to dance with one or more of the men waiting within. In view of the present "courtesy campaign” being waged on the campus, it seems strange that the A. W. S. should not con sider it necessary or even advisable to consult the men’s houses before taking this drastic step. Twelve hundred men found out yesterday that by imperial feminine decree they are ordered to be in their houses between 6:30 and 7:30 next Wednesday evening to receive the invading Amazons. By a single coup d’etat they find themselves com missioned as gigolos, obliged to dance with any woman who has the price. Murmurs of resentment and revolt ran ’round a score of fra ternity dinner tables last night. In spite of the ruthless prog ress of feminism, the male is still a proud animal. He likes to be consulted before arbitrary disposition is made of his time und his social inclinations. Once Again, 150 Women ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS’ mass meetings in the past have often proved misnomers with sometimes scarcely a quorum of co-eds in attendance. Last fall, to remedy the situation, Ann Baum, A. W. S. president, demanded that unless 150 women appeared for a meeting she would adjourn it. Her ultimatum was effective: 150 and more, by official count, were there. Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock in Gerlinger hall, the A. W. S. will hold its only mass meeting of winter term. No decree for any set attendance has as yet come from Miss Baum, but we feel sure she is desirous of having a largo turnout. And the meeting warrants one. The appearance of Cameron Beck, personnel director of the J4ew York stock exchange, and rated as one of the "big men” in his line as well us a splendid speaker, will make Monday’s meeting particularly good. It is not often that a man of Beck's recognized leadership and ability is available on this campus for the benefit of students. His discussion of the vocational field for women will be one that should not be missed. This Unsettled World A^TlAT'S wrong with these pictures? A Redwood City, California, man married his mother* in-law. The Prince of Wales, in a new suit, was heckled during a speech the other night by a number of young women. A school of herring jammed the condenser on the engine coolers of a vessel off the coast of British Columbia. Thought it was a sardine can. The naval affairs committee of the French chamber of depu ties yesterday recommended the immediate construction of a 26,000-ton battle cruiser The international conference on the limitation of armaments opens next Tuesday in Geneva. Webfoots We Stay T^ECISION of the executive council to keep the name "W eb foots" for Oregon's athletic teams- until a more suitable one could be found (if ever) was the only logical action fof the student body’s supreme group to take. Individual members of the executive council, we hear, are in favor of changing from "Webfoots" to something else, but what that will be not even they can say. Two weeks ago on the day of a campus poll to sound out student sentiment on the name controversy, the Emerald warned. “Unless a name is proposed that clearly has an advantage over the one now in use, it would be foolish to make it change." We arc glad to see that stand upheld try the executive council.' Again we uay. were it til Webfoots. Frosh Debaters Win and Lose in Two Encounters | Olimart, Pursley Victors In Wordy Argument With Pacific The freshman debate teams won and lost In the meeting with the Pacific university debaters here yesterday in a dual debate using the cross question type of argu ment. Orval Thompson and Herbert Skalet, upholding the negative for the freshman team lost to Byron Blakenship and Charles Ellwell of Pacific and Howard Ohmart and Theodore Pursley, the freshman affirmative team, defeated unani mously the Pacific negative team, James Yeomans and James Cope land. This debate, the first of a series to be held this term, dealt with the question, ‘‘Resolved: That con gress should enact some form of legislation providing for a cen tralized control of industry.” Reverend Ernest M. Whitesmith, pastor of the Unitarian church, Reverend Milton S. Webber of the Presbyterian church, and Mr. No bles of Eugene were judges for the section of the debate in which the Oregon freshmen upheld the nega tive. V. L. Brookes, Reverend Clay E. Palmer, and Donald R. Husband judged the debate won by the freshman affirmative team. George Bennett, who had gener al charge of the debate, and Robert Oliver, graduate assistant in the speech department, were chairmen of the debates. The debaters were judged on the effectiveness of the arguments presented and on the manner of presentation.
