Anyone who ha- attended, during
the pa-t two year-, those crowded af
fair- known a- class ‘‘hops,’ will wel
come the effort now being made at a
-alutary limiting of the attendance at
tw o of these functions. A movement
is on foot to limit the attendance at
the Freshm an Glee and the Sophom ore
Hop to students. cx--tudents, faculty
and alumni of the U niversity of O re
gon. The grow th of the social life of
the U niversity and it- connection with
the social life of Portland and the var-
i-»u- preparatory schools of the state
ha- brought it to pa-- in recent years
that the -tudent halls are attended in
variably by a m ultitude of out-of-tow n
people. The crowd is often so large
that it is impossible for the class to
provide com fortably for the guest-.
No one can doubt that the U niversity
should give at least one party during
the year to which all of its friends arc
welcomed. But it is a perversion of
