ISSUE OCC.DENT NUMBER. Last but.not Jeast of the affairs de- vised by the indefatigable '‘co-ed” work- crs was the Women's day edition of the Occident, the .literary weekly of the university. . Women students edited and prepered all the material in this edition of the Occident, which made its appear- ance on the campus this moruing, and the admiration evoked by ihe plctorial and literary excelience of the number was sincere and general. Miss® Katherine Hershey and Miss Irma Weill, joint editors of the edition, shared with their the credit for the production.

R from Miss Phoebe Binney, president of the Associated Women Students, who aupointed committees, down to Miss Lil- Pastimes Club, the athletic organization which supplied the material for the row- ing, tennis and basket-ball contests, and on down to the humblest member of the smallest subcommittees. Victory crowned the efforts of the senior class crew of the Women's Boat Club of the university this morning in the annual regatta on Lake Merritt, Oakland, and the seniors are now the class champions of the club. Had the finish line been fifty yvards farther away, however, there would have been a differ- ent story, and the colors of the sopho- mores would now be waving in triumph | over those of the class of '06. The fin- ish was a most exciting one, and the senior a sophomore boats crossed the line less than half a boat length apart. The " interclass race, a part of ~ ‘the women's_day celebration, was held over | the regular regatta course on.Lake Mer- ritt, and the contest was witnessed by a large number of students. From the start it was plain that the race lay be- tween the classes of "06 and '08, and the long sweeping stroke set by Miss A. | Cresalia proved effective in winning the race. J. A. Fatjo acted as starter, and the judges were J. A. Mitchell. H. C. | Klaus, O. Tinnemann and T. E. Robert- son, one from each of the classes of the university.

Men students were excluded from the basket-ball contest in the afternoon and the courts sheltered none but the ‘co- ed” .contingent. - Miss Frances Hughes served as referee, with Miss Irma Welll and Miss Edna de Wolf as umpires. The warsity won only after a strenuous contest. The line-up was as follows: lian Williams, president of the Sports and | Helen Eschenburg '(8, Alice Jones '09; guards —Misges Aura Lee 06 (captain), Adele Wikoff ‘08, Marie Griffith '07; goals—Misscs Lily Wright '07, Alice Joy ‘07, Marlan Cralg "07. At the tennis courts in the finals Miss Hazel Hotchkiss defeated Miss Miriam E?Wards in two straight sets, score 6-0, None could have guessed that any of the dancers at Eearst Hall in the even- ing, where merriment was the keynote of the affair, had been given any op- portunity to weary the flesh with ath- letic exercises during the dav. The scene was one of unusual animation, and not for 2 moment did the interest flag or the fun cease so long as the or- chestra made musie to chime with the movements of the dancers’ feet.

The varifous committees which = ar- ranged the details of the colonial ball had as their heads the following: Dec- orations, Miss Ruth Salinger; booths, Miss Carmel Riley; programmes, Miss Hazel Hobson; musie, Miss A.

This will mean a reduction of fourteen-in the number of retall liquor licenses now In force in this city. The decision to restrict the saloons has been reached unofficially by the members of the City Council, after conferences with the Anti-Saloon League and representa- tives of the Knights of the Royal Arch. a secret organization of Nquor dealers. For several weeks there has been under discussion a proposition to submit to the voters of the -city the question of ward local option. It was presented to the City .Council by petition and was urged by members of the Anti-Saloon League. But an almost ‘unanimous sentiment against the measure was uncovered in the City Council. The argument made indi- cated that there was only one vote in the Couneil which would be favorable to the plan. The principal objection raised was that ward local option would tend to cen- tralize the saloons in one district, and in many instances would have a tendency te drive them out of business sections into portions of residential territory now free from them. The Fifth Ward conditions were cited in particular. Four-fifths of the ward is composed of residences, while in the remaining one-fifth, a business sec- tion, are located a -large number of sa- loons. To adopt local option in this ward would mean to drive all the saloons out of the business section, where they have always been permitted to procure licenses. The same condition prevails in the Sev- enth Ward and in the Fourth Ward, where the residence sections are free from sa- loons. To meet the objections raised to the project, the anti-saloon people have agreed on a compromise measure which is based on a permanent restriction of saloons to a present maximum of 250. It is planned to stop the issuance of saloon licenses to persons who are not citizens of the United States., and by a process of elimination along -this line to weed out those who now carry ‘licenses and are The new plan will be officlally presented to the City Council as soon as the detalls are ar- ranged.
