TO THOSE WHO SEE IJS AS WF ARE NOT The “Leader,” of Silver Luke, Ore gon, quotes the University Bulletin: “Rebellion against the college cus tom that compels first year stu dents in American universities tc wear green caps was broached at n recent meeting of the Freshmen al the State University at Eugene,’ and then comments as follows: “Cut out all such foolishness, alsc football, baseball, etc., and make the University an institution of learning instead of a place for ‘frats’ and ‘coaches.’ Nine times out of ten wher the University is mentioned it is con nected with sport. Of course the col lege sport will contend the student.' need exercise. So they do, but there is a thousand ways to get exercise ii less dangerous and less expensive manner. Judge Bean, a graduate ol the University of Oregon, nevei played football, yet his health is good so is his brain; Edgar McClure, pro fessor of chemistry, was the idol ol the University, never wore a greer cap. nor played football; he got plenty of exercise carrying wood from the basement to the third story of Heady Hall.” Which moves us to remark, “Oh come off.” If the Silver Lake editor would come over and visit us, he would learn, among other things, that a few years ago the Freshmen fought for the privilege of wearing caps of a distinctive variety, so that they might recognize their fellow first-year stu dents. Many are the homesick Fresh men whose first few days away at college have been brightened by the mutual recognition and fraternal feel ing among the wearers of the green cap. They are to the Freshmen what the square and compass is to Ma sonry. The little ornaments cost fifty cents and last a year, and save the price of a couple of hats. Moreover, the semi compulsory wearing of the class badges is en forced more by the strong sentiment of the class itself than by the “tyran ny” of upperclassmen; witness the action taken, wholly upon their own initiative and without the slightest coercion, by the pro out Freshman i lass a few days ago. Of course, it is no crime not to be familiar with the social custom of a collcommut i y But honestly, wouldn’t it be mor.

The daily papers ki >w. - at least profess to believe that they are cat ering to public ... w! u tin y give “such foolishness” as a foot-bal game a special page with pictures ten inches high of the prominent players \iul the fact that they put a brief notice of the University’s annual oratorical championship on the southeast corner of an inside page is not in the least indicative of the amount of interest manifest among Oregon students, but rather of the interest of the people over the state at large, for whom these papers are published. The public wants sporting new? and gets it. It does not know and apparently does not care to be told that 95 per cent of the students never get into inter-collegiate sports, but take their regular exercise in the Gymnasium as a matter of course, gc to classes every day, stay at home six nights in the week to study, graduate with honor's, and win scholarships in the East and abroad with a frequency satisfactory to all who have taken the trouble to investigate actual condi tions at the State University. A day spent looking over the cam pus and a glance in the evening at the students at their work would un doubtedly change the view point of our friend at Silver Lake.

Glee Club concert, which is booked for Friday, February 8. The dance will be in th'e nature of a reception for the Corvallis singers, who, to gether with the Oregon warblers, will attend the dance in a body and sing several selections between numbers. The affair will be very informal. There will be no programs, but plenty of city water. Without a fifty or a sevonty-fivje-cene ticket to the concejrt in the evening, a charge of fifty cents a couple will be levied at the door. The dance will last from 3 to 5 o’clock, with the best of music pro vided by the Student Body for the ad ditional entertainment of the visitors. GOBBLERS RAVE BADGE New Pin Appearing on Chests of Old Society Causes Rumors of New Fraternity. Tuesday morning several men of the University were seen to be wear ing a sterling silver hand with the fingers extended and the thumb across the palm. It seems that this fraternity has been successful in keeping their previ ous existence in the dark, but some how it has leaked out that they are known as “Gobblers.” President Wenthworth of the dor mitory. is quoted as saying that membership is an honor obtained as a reward for certain manly virtues that may exist in Freshmen as well as Seniors.

I \l\ KKSrn PI VYERS VII) DRAMATIC CLUB Sixty dollars for two night's per formance was added to the Dramatic Club exchequer by the production of the "Wig and Gown’.’ at the Rex Theatre, last Friday and Saturday, by Klice Shearer, Janet Young, Walter Dimtn. and Alfred Skoi. The actors have received praise for their rendition of this skit, which was adjudged by some to be unsuited to them and to the occasion. Clark Hawley. ’15, will soon leave college for Santa Barbara. Califor nia. 000000000000 o WHAT THE COLLEGE o o EDITORS ARE SAYING o 000000000000 “GOOD FELLOWSHIP” “We hear much these days about college spirit; some say there isn’t any at Wisconsin. Generally this view is taken by the Freshman who comes to the University purged with dreams of hazing, theatre riots and others forms of hoodlum conduct. You first year men doubtless feel lonely and out of things now, but if you’re the sort that goes in for ac tivities or that observes, this appar rent frigid atmosphere will change to one of warmth and homeliness. Read your college daily; watch for your magazine, subscribe for them and contribute perhaps! Take your al gebra to some learned Junior and ask him to help to find the value of “x.” He’ll do it! College men have much in common. If you do these things, you won’t feel as green as your cap looks, for when you walk up to your eight o’clock you’ll see faces that you know, and hear a good bracing, “Hello Bill,” once in a while. That means a lot as you’ll realize later. Sound your classmates, and sound your University, and you’ll hear a tone that is deep, sonorous, and full of meaning!”—Wisconsin News. “A PARTING RAP” “For the girls’ fraternities to get away from the idea that it is abso lutely essential to give formals is a mighty sensible idea in our humble opinion. Not that the formals are not pleasant places to spend an even ing and a morning—gracious, no—■ but only that the feeling that the so cial prestige can be upheld in this way is all wrong. “From times immemorial has come the chronic kick from that genus known as the stag. But, again pardon the observation, these murmurings were doubtless for the purpose of con cealing the real feelings of delight because he really was able to go down to the dance on the street car along with the bunch and have some real sport at the robber dances. The per son who really deserves sympathy is the young lady who has to accept the first of the thirty-eight men to whom she has sent invitations. Congratula tions can only go to the other thirty seven. “In other words, the formal has been recognized as a very inadequate method of repaying social obligations. Needless to say, it is quite nerve racking for the girls. The move to wards the abolition of the formal then will not meet with disapproval.”— Ohio State Lantern. “GETTING RESULTS” “There is a great deal of difference between writing: editorials and seeing: these thing's actually accomplished. After writing an editorial, we gener ally sit back and wonder whether anyone will ever read it, and if some one does read it, whether or not he will think that it is worthy of serious consideration. “But the Wisconsin Daily News is especially pleased at the way things are turning out this year. You will remember that we advocated earlier in the year a system of good cheering to use rather poor English, a sy stematic system. It was inaugurated. “You will remember that we advo cated that a bill to provide the col lege with dormitories be put before the legislature. The regents are to meet tomorrow to discuss this plan, and the chances are that they will report favorably. “And you know that a few days ago we called to the students to back up a system whereby we would have an Eastern game and the feeling is rising our contemporary advocates the same thing now. “Our attack upon the present danc ing has, likewise, been taken up by others in the University. “The Minnesota Daily considered one of our editorials worth while pub lishing in their editorial column. “Such things make us feel that edi torial writing is not merely a matter of tilling of space. They can be made a power in the development of the community and. when well directed, can accomplish great good.”—Wiscon sin Daily News.
