The Freshman (Jleo starts t.oiiIf^lit at 8:15, according to the statement made by the head of the da m e com mittee. Preparations have been made, music, provided, and every thing is in readiness for one of the most enjoyable affairs of the year, provided for the men and women of the university by the Freshman class acting as host. Ilut how many will be able to en ter into the spirit which an occasion of the kind demands? How many of those attending the Freshman party, either in the capacity of hosts or of guests, are entirely free from that worry which is the aftermath of the final examinations? Of the forty who failed to pass at the end of the first semester, eight have been permitted to remain by the faculty committee, hut for the balance of this number there will be no more college until next fall. Perhaps in some cases there are excuses which have been overlooked, some of those who have flunked out may have been too proud even to make known their excuses, but, in the majority of instances, the fail ure to make good is due to just one thing, and that is lack of application to the more serious side of universi ty life. The long-heralded raising of stand ards has, with the possibility of In creasing educational facilities at Ore gon, made its noveni at the State University, and, in so doing, has caught a considerable number un aware, who, under old conditions,! would have been able (o skim t lirough. Tlte students who failed to "get by," are not to be censured; they didn't know it was coining, and, in consequence, were unprepared. Hut their failure should serve as a warn ing to those remaining, and to tthe students of the* future, for the rais in; of standards will not rest after the advance made this year. Tlte requirements as to scholarship will continue to b< .strengthened until the best in higher education has been reached. ST.INIMXt; Si'll I,. •‘Sororities® ;t( Whitman' • Rave adopted new rules In r< tard to pledg ing, to do away with the excitement coincident with pledge day," reads a news item. The sorority women at Whitman are to he congratulated on their recognition of the necessity of uniformity and organization in mat ters of rushing and pledging. The Oregon sororities, or as they are no.', lo be styled, women's fra ternities, have long since admitted the importance of this principle, and the outgrowth is the present Pan Hellenic. But the fraternity men at Oregon seem content to continue in the old way, ea<h little organization working on its own particuiiff plan, regardless of the beneiits which the experience of others has shown may accrue Horn the formation of a Pan Hellenic, cr some organization of the Kind at least approximating its pur pose and means of accomplishing such a purpose. Reforms in rushing and in pledg ing are by no means the only tilings to be considered in a move lor a 1'an rlellenic. scholarship and efficiency also enter into a consideration of the case, efficiency that must he shown to.the voters of the state if ever the question of the usefulness of the fra-1 icruity system is raised at Oregon as it iias already been in some of the eastern states. A getting together of the fraterni ties at Oregon on some basis similar 10 tlie Pan-Hellenic, is already a re cognized necessity—a necessity vvhich will continue to become more and more imperative with the pass ing of time, llow long will the fra ternities remain blind to the exam ines of progress afforded them, and icmain content with their present standstill policy? Approximately 5,000,000 words are computed to have been written ,11 Oregon bluebooks during the ex aminations just past, it would be iu lerestuig to ascertain how many would have been added to this if •very student had beta thoroughly familiar with the subject of the exam, or to figure how many words would have been saved if no en deavor to cover up ignorance with verbiage had been made. Dr. C. i*\ Hodge has been chosen as head of a committee in Portland to wage exterminating warfare upon the housefly. If some of the in structions given by Dr. Hodge last summer during bis Eugene I'ly-kill ing campaign, were carried out, per haps the university town would be rendered more habitable during the warmer months. GREEN CAPS ABOLISHED BY FACULTY AT U. OF W. Strict Rules Regarding All Kinds of Hazing Also Passed University of Washington, Feb. 10. Hazing of every description, or ganized or unorganized was abol ished at Hie University of Washing ton by a ruling passed by the assem bled faculty last night. However, a student council, will soon be formed to handle student government. When asked to interpret tills latest edict, i’rof. David Thomson, chairman of the faculty student affairs commit tee, this morning said: "Hazing of every description is now forbidden. Any violation of tins ruling by any student will constitute a breach of discipline and will be punished as such by the university authorities . .Not only does it mean that there will be no more kangaroo courts, hotbanding, duckings in f reshman basin, aim other forms of physical chastisement such as have b en indulged in previous to this year but Freshmen will uo* longer be made to wear green caps. No green caps will appear on the cam-! pus from now on unless the Fresh men, of their own free will, choose to adopt this headgear as an insignia of their class. "The question of abolishing hazing has been under consideration by the faculty for some time," l’rofessor Thomson said, "and yesterday’s ac tion conns as the result of a care ful s', tidy of conditions." Fr.itevnit.i hazing, as It concerned • nembei of the fraternit> alone and tut a- .-.indents of the university, did not come under the jurisdiction of th universiti. and hence was not af fected, Professor Thomson explained. Not onl> was hazing done away with, hut the pushball contest, the annual tieups and all class scraps were abolished from the university in or,'■ that the new student eoun- 1 eil may start Its work with a clean slate declared the professor. These customs may be reinstituted, accord-! ing to the faculty, but they will be done by the student council, and will if they are. It will bo good if you bu> it at the Peter Pan.
