SATURDAY, FJCURUARY 14, 1914.
AT T1IK l)AN< K.
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.

•‘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. '
