This means a class of approximately 200 Freshmen which must be assimilated by the Student Body. To this Incoming class the older students owe a duty, the duty of an older brother to a younger, to ac quaint them with the customs and traditions of the University, and to instill in them a respect for the Alma Mater, as well as that Oregon spirit which has become a byword in the history of the institution. On the thoroughness of this side of the col lege education depends largely whether or not the new students will become helpful working units of the student body. But the obligation does not rest on the older men and women of Oregon alone. In fact the Incoming class owes the greater duty to the Institu tion and should show by Its willing ness to learn and conform to the us ages and customs of the University that it recognlfces this obligation. Only In this way may the freshmen of today fit themselves to become the mentors of the freshmen of years to follow. -o-o- i THE ALUMNI GAME Prom "Sap” Latourette, one time quarter-back on (he ’Varsity, comes a plea for the re-establishment of the alumni game with the Oregon team, a contest, by the way, which has for the last two years been passed over. In Ms letter, Mr. Latourette says that he knows of nothing more Inspiring to the regu lars than tills game with the men who have in years gone by worked and fought on the gridiron for the glory of old Oregon. The Emerald heartily endorses Mr. Latourette's plea. From the point of the player, he has pointed out the effect that such a contest should have upon the present day University athlete, an effect which perhaps no one other thing could bring about. Not only in regard to the players, however, does this statement hold good, for It has been demonstrated tn the past that at no time during the college year does college spirit mani fest Itself as at tills game. G. ASH LEAVES KM KHALI). Clarence Ash, who earned the name of "Scoop" oil account of his excellent reporting on the Emerald last year, lias accepted a position as a reporter on the Eugene Register and will l»e unable to continue Ills work on the Emerald. Ills rise to a professional reporter may be in part attributed to the Department of Journalism, where, under Professor Allen, ho learned the fundamental principals, and to the Oregon Em erald’ wfibre»h’e gained ills practi cal experience. ® „ In the course of the year Ash rose from cuh reporter to the position of city editor. The Department of Journalism and the tri-weekly col lege paper, tile Oregon Emerald, offers opportunities for everyone in the newspaper field. THE CALL OP THE CAMPUS0 0 o ‘ . - c o (Lee Hendricks) When the long, lazy summer is wan * ing, And the month of September is near; When the hot weather’s past, and it’s • raining, And you think of the next col lege year, Your fancy, with memories throng ing, Stirs a fire in your blood which is new, And you know, from the vague, rest less longing, That the campus is calling to you. You pack the old trunk with your raiment And settle the debts that you owe— (That is, if you cannot dodge pay ment)— Although it’s a week till you go. Like a soldier impatient for fight ing, Or a co-ed who’s late for a dance, You wait for that moment exciting, When the thirsters for knowl edge advance. You get on the train with a feeling Like the prodigal son home ward-bound ; With joy you are far from conceal ing You see your old friends gath ered round; The greetings and handclasps are hearty, You talk of some old college scene, Some class rush or millracing party, Till at last you pull into Eugene. Ths bunch Is all down at the sta tion, The rushers are there, wide awake. To pipe off the frosh delegation— One grabs your suit-case by mistake; With studes Bhort and tall, fat and slender, For a place on the street-car you fight; You ride all the way on the fender, Till the old hang-out looms into sights The boys, round the fire congregat ing, Are talking of days that have been; Your chair by the fireplace Is wait ing, You light the old pipe and start1 in; •From some gang outside serenading The strains of the ‘Toast” reach your ear; The call that has drawn you is fad ing. And you’re glad, through and through, that you’re here. 40 GIRLS ACCEPT PAN HELLENIC BIDS TODAY Several Freshmen, However, Still I'mleclded As to Selection.

Two hundred men, labeled with the usual “I am—Who ai;e You?” tags, gathered In Villard Hall last night for the annual Y. M. C. A. Stag Mix, to get acquainted and par ticipate in the program of hot-hapd, cock fights, pillow fights, speeches, cider and doughhuts. Everyone en tered heartily into the games and cheered lustily for the speakers, and the Mix was declared to have been the most successful of all Mixes yet held. The cock-fight championship, car rying with it the possession of a sil ver cup for one year, passed from Elmer Spencer, ’16, to John Beckett, ’17, formerly a prominent football man of Washington high school. President Campbell exhorted the men t° forget petty affiliations and work for the greater brotherhood ! which should mark the life of the whole student body; and spoke con fidently of a great future for the University. Student Body President Vernon Motschenbacher followed with a talk on college traditions and Oregon sirit, and urged that we look not backwards, but work for the present of the University life. ' Both Captain Bradshaw and Coach Hugo Bezdek were pessimistic about present foot ball’prospects, but said that Oregon could easily have a championship team should all the men here have the qualities of football players but are holding back, come out to prac tice. Coach Bezdek paid tribute to the real Oregon spirit as being the most Indomitable spirit he has ever seen, and wished that it might be awakened to encourage the men as it used to.

As I am forced to leave for the east in haste, I take this opportunity to bid good-bye to each j and ev.ery ong of my friends.” Walker,, the m5nager-elect, arrived Thursday and "took up his new du ties.
