points.
The Junior orations in the evening
brought forth a great storm of ap­
plause as did also the two musical
numbers on the program rendered by
Junior girls. The Varsity departments
of English, public speaking and music
have just cause to be proud of their
proteges who appeared on Friday even­
ing.
Both baseball games on Saturday
were interesting. We lost—but then
it is the first time we have lost to a
college team this year and we can t
always win. Two more games will be
played next week at Corvallis with the
same team.
The closing and crowning event of
the week end was the Junior Prom at
the Armory. Never has the hall looked
prettier than on Saturday, clothed in
May decorations, surrounding a tall
May Pole in the center. The music
and the co-eds were beautiful and the
men—Well Oregon men need no des­
cription.
There is little doubt but that the
Junior W eek End inaugurated by the
clas of 1909, will become a permanent
tradition. Industry, athletics, oratory
and the prom, all in the short time of
two days, show all the phases of college
life in a nutshell. By all means let us
make the custom a permanent one.

it is not a success this year, the girls

well as as in the social realm.

The closing debate of the Oregon
Interstate debating league will be held
in Villard Hall on next Friday evening
under the auspices of the University of
Oregon. The winning team will be
presented with a a handsome forty-
articles on the needs of the women at
versity Regents—and hailed as the
High School champions of the state.
Over a hundred of the brightest
young minds of the state have partici­
pated in the various forensic contests
which have led up to this debate. Both
the contesting trios—Astoria and Leb­
anon—have won four debates and the
championship in their respective dis­
tricts. The final contest on Friday will
therefore be a notable one and inter­
esting to all who hear it.
It is urgent that all Oregon students
should attend. The visiting debaters
are our guests and as such should be
given a hearty welcome. By attending
the contest on Friday we will be help­
ing the interests of debating in the pre­
paratory schools throughout the state.
The first annual Junior Week End
at the U niversity of Oregon has been
established— n o doubt, as a permanent
Xradition. Everything was a success,
even the two baseball games which
were lost to O. A. C. were a success
