SUBSCRIPTION RATES ne year-$1.00 Single copy- ,C5 Wednesday, May 10, 1910 Clemency It is difficult for the average stu dent to condemn very harshly the two boys who disguised themselves as women and mingled with the co-eds for a few minutes before the April Frolic began. If current report !s correct several of the Varsity women connived in the scheme which was conceived entirely in the spirit of fun. Certainly if there is any serious feel ing among the co-eds over the affair it is not general and has not found public expression. Indeed, as far as the Emerald can learn the majority of women look upon the matter more as a joke than a crime. It is to be hoped that the faculty may be led to regard the prank in the frivolous, innocent spirit in which it was per petrated and in which every one con cerned and indeed the student body in general judges it. The freshmen idea of instituting an annual cap-burning ceremony Junior Week-End is an excellent one and seems to be meeting with nothing but general public approval. Those of the class who have faith fully worn the verdent sky piece de serve some public commendation and notice. Anyhow, as the caps are now worn and faded and have served their purpose in adorning and distinguish ing the freshman visage, they might appropriately lie discarded. One thing however, that the students in general and the freshmen in particular, should guard against is that no member of the class who has not strictly observed tin1 rule lie allowed to participate in the exercises. A proscribed list should be drawn up and the ineorrigibles ta booed. In this way can public com mendation and censure be effectively registered and a measure of compen sation be awarded the deserving. Jim Hammond, ’98, who is sacri ficing his vacation to coach the Senior play p rat is possesses the right kind of college spirit. It is not the kind that expends itself in undergraduate jingoism, “rah rails”, and “college poster” clothes and immediately lapses into forgetfulness. This type forgetfulness and indifference upon which is unfortunately common a mong college students and which is ! responsible for much of the hostility to colleges on the part of the general public never impelled a man to do , one unselfish deed for his university. lUr. Hammond's is not of this variety. It is something better, of the sort , which we like to imagine is char acteristic of this college. Would that j Oregon had more alumni like “.Tim Hammond.” W ith this issue, the Emerald staff, or rather the unimportant masculine : part of it, steps down and out while triumphant Femininity takes posses sion of the office and printing plant. 1 hat the special Women’s number will be the best of the year goes without saying, and the "mere men” content themselves with the weak prayer that the contrast may not be so great as to totally discredit suc ceeding issues. The foxes have their holes, the fowls of the air their nests, but dur ing Junior Week-End the poor stude has not whereon to lay his head. If Johns’ heroic measures result in a permanent abatement of the nuis ance, he should be regarded as a pub lic benefactor. WISCONSIN FRESHMAN GOES WITHOUT CAP; IS DUCKED. The hazing of a freshman, Schlomo vitz, at the Univeristy of Wisconsin by immersion in the campus lake, resulting in the suspension of several students from the University, is cre ating quite a stir at the Badger insti tution. Last year the students at the Wis consin institution agreed to do away with hazing scrapes and sentence the guilty individuals. Till the incident of last week, the student court had no opportunity for action, and it seems that the stand it took in sus pending those implicated in the haz ing does not meet the approval of the student body in general. Schlomovitz, it appears, refused to wear the traditional green cap requir ed at Wisconsin, and when asked by upperclassmen to conform to the rules, he became impertinent and of fensive. As a matter of discipline, several upperclassmen seized the ir repressible “fresh” and threw it into Lake Mendota. The student court immediately took up the matter, and suspended the guilty students for a period of two weeks. The student body has now stepped in, in an at tempt to sift the affair through. The question seems to hinge on whether the hazing was “indiscriminate” or “corrective.” In passing the hazing resolutions last year, it is being argu ed the students wanted to do away with indiscriminate hazing only, and therefore the present case is out of the question, although the rules specifically state that immersion in the lake shall be termed hazing. At a meeting of the student conference, the board was severely censured for its action. There is also a movement on foot among the students to im peach several members of the board and elect new members to take their place. COLLEGE Y. W. WILL CHOOSE DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE Next Monday afternoon the election of delegates to regular Y. W. C. A. conference at Breakers, Washington, will take place. This is an extremely important event and it is hoped by the committee in charge that every Y. W. C. A. gii'l will be present. Ore gon hopes to send at least ten repre sentatives delegates to this Summer Conference as Washington will send fifteen or twenty and Idaho probably as many as ten. This is the crowning event of the year in Y. W. C. A. cir it is hoped that all the girls will take a lively interest and will attend the meeting Monday to finally decide upon the fortunate girls who will rep resent Oregon.
