' he .-land llit’s- t iken hy President
Kerr is just and unequivocal. It should,
ami doubtless will, stop hazing in the
si He school at C orvallis. I In- Oregoni
an would he glad to note a like stand on
the part of the president and regents of
(he l Diversity of Oregon, whose expe
rience with hazing in some past years
has been anything but complimentary
to the institution.
Oregonian, Oct. 17, 1910.—'"Just so
loin; as tile Corvallis 'farmers’ confine
their hazing to hair cutting, it can be
excused as sanitary."
I lu' Oregonian U a great newspaper,
ami as snelt lias a dominating influence
in the development <n public opinion,
throughout the state. An editorial from
it may make or mar, and until the fail
lire ol its dearly cherished assembly
plan, the Ongonian was notably sue
ces-tul in converting its views into dom
inant public sentiment. It prevailed be
i nisi it vein rally took a hold, consis
tent stand for what it believed to be
right It was, accordingly, trusted and
accredited by the general public.
The Oregom n should he too liberal
and charitable to allow prejudice and
mil inic-s to color its editorial com
incuts, yet the above excerpts show, at
h ' a serious inconsistency The ed
itorial writers have vast opportunities
i >r g<»id or evil, and bear too heavy
responsibility, to allow personal reasons
to influence the Oregonian's editorin’
polic> Favoritism for O \ C and
prejudice an ins! Oregon should nol
form the basis for discrimination he
tween the colleges Hazing at eithei
scl'ool hould be equally responsible and
equally rebuked, yet a baring incident
at Oregon provokes a bitter arraignment
and the O. \ C incident is dismissed
with a pleasantn about hair ettinug
being sanitary.
\s a matter of fact, the "fanners' ’
method is not a whit m re "sanitary’
than our plan of hath tubbing. Mam
freslunen come to both colleges in dire
need of both hath tub and barber
though this year there has not been a
single ha-mg incident at Oregon, and
' all indications are that the practice will
. never again he revived.
We are not adopting a “holier than
I thou” attitude, nor are we attempting
j a censure of our “Agric” friends. All
] the University of Oregon asks for is a
! square deal and the good will of the
j citizens of Oregon, in accord with whose
manifest demand the practice of hazing
was abolished.
The incident of the editorial comment
v; s only noticed because it is one evi
dence of a long continued editorial pol
icy of palliating the lapses of other col
lege- and emphasizing those of the Uni
versity of Oregon.
The Sophomore dance committee an
' noimces that freshmen who have per
sisted in violating the green cap rule
will not he admitted to the class hop,
thus putting a social taboo on the ob
streperous members of the community
who refuse to he governed by social
conventions.
i his is the only practical method thus
suggested for enforcing the green cap
rule. Violations against the rule are
i only violations against social custom,
| and c 11 for nothing but social penalties
such as the sophomores design to in
: diet.
Of course, there are a number of “in
surgents” who have broken the rule out
of sheer perversity and love of persecu
I t ion.
Such will ru t he fazed by the new
regulator!, and will only regard it .as
another -pine in their crown of thorns.
Many of the “capless,” however, are
Leaking the rule front a spirit of dare
deviltry more than anything else, and
the sophomores’ ruling will impress on
these the respect due to student tradi
i i- ms.
As nn\ he seen from the report here
's ith lm’ilished, the Eugene merchants
■made i heer fill and substantial contri
butions to the rally fund. They did this
with ut the hope of any profit, from a
-In t dc Tc to show their good wiU to
| the student body. The contributors de
j serve the good will and patronage oi
every student.
MRS. CAMPBELL DELIVERS
INSPIRING TALK TO Y. W.
I hi' first of ;i series of t;111<s planned
by the Y. \\ C \. for college girls was
delivered Monday dternoon in the wo
man's gym. Very httingly. Mrs. Camp
bell talked on “The Secret of Attrac
tiveness." Mr.s Campbell said in part:
“It is the duty of young people to be
delighted and delightful. If filled with
r dianee and with sympathy, we cannot
help being attractive to others and a
sourei of gladness to them. Stevenson
lets said, ‘It is our duty, not to make
men g >od, but happy.’ l he second asset
if attractiveness is good breeding, which
is p-dly only due consideration for
| others. It is said that Darwin's home
v as delightful because each member
showed such great consideration toward
others in the house, never being asser
tive. lest someone might be hurt. More
over. good breeding, thus defined, is not
only a part of .ttractiveness, but a duty
taught b> our Master and incumbent
upon all."
Mrs. Campbell concluded with the fol
lowing w ell known lines from Ruskin:
"Oh, wasteful woman, she who may
On her sweet self set her own price.
Know ing he cannot choose but pay—
How has she cheapened Paradise!
I low given for naught her priceless gift.
How spoiled the bread and spilled the
wine.
Which, spent with due, respective thrift,
Had made brutes men, and men divine!"

YELL LEADER EXHORTS
TRUE MEN TO TURN OUT
In Communication Robison
Reminds Rooters Of Duties
1 his is not a plea, ft is not a re
quest. It is a plain statement of fact
in a plain way. Oregon needs all the
support that all of her sons .and daugh
ters can give. Oregon needs it more
this year than ever before. 1 he cry
this year is less self and more college;
the plea is for less of the individual and
more of the University. Time after
time the last few weeks there have been
no more than a dozen of the old guard
that have attended the football practice,
and the yell leader has not been dis
couraged, but has taken it all to mean
that you all are with the team, but
that something lias turned up at the
last minute to keep you away from
where, ■: s an Oregon man, you owe it
to yourself to be. But there have come
times, and those not long ago, when the
yell leader has asked men to get in and
yell, when he has been met with the
rejoinder that the aforesaid man must
do something or the other to get out
of doing his little share of the work.
To men of that caliber this communi
c tion is not addressed, for a man
who will sneak off like a whipped cur
from his place on the firing line, to do
something more agreeable, is a mistake
in our college; and, we are proud to
say, that their members are few
But to you, Oregon men: The team
needs all the support that you can give.
Not only do they need it, but they de
serve it. This communication is not
a plea, for the time never came nor
never will come when Oregon men will
turn down their team. Tt’s simply a
little reminder, a little jog to the mem
ory. There will be yelling practice on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Not so that you will go home all in. but
just fifteen or twenty minutes, so you
won’t get rusty. But the team is there
every night. Oregon men, they are
practically a new team; they need all
the support that you can give them.
Oregon needs her men. Are you there?
