We believe we have al ready done our duty by the first year class in this respect, and we had hoped that further admonition would not be necessary. However, complaints which cannot be overlooked have reached us—com plaints that certain Freshmen are wil fuly violating what is perhaps the best and wisest of all unwritten laws of the campus—that requiring all Freshmen, at all times while college is in session, to wear green caps. The custom was started here some six years ago, the class of 1913 having had the distinction of being the first to observe it. Such a custom, or its equivalent, is in force almost univer sally among American colleges. It is a custom which makes for greater slemocracy ad better spirit in the incoming class. me mental ana physical vexation occasioned the wearer of the preen cap is almost negligible, and it is at worst as mild and harmless a torm of ha/, ing as could be devised. But, granting that it is not the most satisfactory headgear from an aesthetic and hy gienic standpoint, its excellencies more than balance its drawbacks. The real purpose of the green cap is to serve as a means of identification among the Freshmen. It is all-im portant that the members of the class should know one another at sight, and a fifty-cent green cap has all other badges of recognition surpassed for utility and economy. Furthermore, it is a passport to the good favor of the older students, faculty mem bers and townspeople. Surely no Freshman can walk down Eleventh street without realizing this fact. All the college folk and half the outsiders whom he passes will speak to him, whether they know him or not, thanks to that same cap. It is a most cour teous practice, one which makes a Freshman feel at home, and which con tributes greatly to the comradeship of the students. 'But whether or not the present Freshman class look upon the green •cap as a distinction or a persecution is not the question. It is approved by student sentiment, and that is enough. Every class which has en tered the University since its adoption has worn it., and those classes con tained possibly as good men as does the present first-year brigade. /vs we saiti at tne outset, we do not mean to denounce the class of 1918. Thus far it has acquitted itself well. It has shown good spirit as a body, and it has a good representation in student activities. Hut it seems in evitable that there be a few refrac . tory members who do their utmost to get the whole class “in bad.” In the present instance, it appears that these individuals have been en couraged in their course by those who should give better advice. It is said that they have been told that they do not have to wear green caps un less they feel like it. To the Freshman class we would say that such counsel, from whatever source it may come, is dangerous. It is true that there is no faculty edict requiring Freshmen to wear the caps, but there is a determined student sen timent demanding it. And, ns wo have pointed out before, no student can afford to despise that sentiment. The students have ways of enforcing what they believe to be right, as has been shown before now. We believe the Freshmen can meet their own problem, however, and it is with this confidence that we charge them with the duty of keeping invio late this most necessary of all Ore gon customs. • •********»» * SPOTLIGHT SQUIBS * By Mandell Weiss. * : That dramatics is gaining in favor ; with the students here is shown by the unusually large enrollment in thej course n Dramatic Interpretation. There are about forty students in this class, the majority of whom are girls.[ As the casting of Huckleberry Finn will not be sufficient for every mem ber in the class to participate in the play, Professor A. F. Reddie is ar ranging for a performance of Gals worthy’s “Joy,” to follow immediately after the Mark Twain comedy. * * Mrs. Katherine Thome, who took an active part in the out-door per formance of King Lear last semester, will carry the role of Aunt Sally in Huckleberry Finn. Mrs. Thome, by the way, has seen professional ser vice in numerous stock companies in j this country. * * With the Glee Club tryouts at an end, the work of rounding up a strong organization is merrily going on. Re- i hearsals are being held four times a week ,and -the results obtained so far are pleasing to Professor Ralph Ly man. “The material composing the Glee Club this year is very good,” said the director. “It was thought at first that our bass section would be somewhat week, but with the late return of I Ralph Ash and the new addition of M. J. Jordan, a star member of last year’s O. A. C. Glee Club, that sec ton has been materialy strengthened. Everything is pointing in the direc tion of a successful season,” added the directo * * A record breakng crowd of about 5,000 people witnessed the outdoor performance of King Lear, the com mencement play given by the class in Dramatc Interpretaton last June, on Kincaid Field. During the change of scenes, Much v^ere indicated by the extinguishing of the footlights, the University Orchestra Rendered special selected compositions. The University Men’s Quartet, com posed of Mr. Lyman, Paul Sprague, Henry Heidenreich and Albert Gil lette, will sing Wednesday afternoon at the meeting of the State Federa tion of Women’s Clubs, at the Meth odist church. Mr. Gillette will also1 sing a solo. - ♦ - ************ * COMMUNICATION * • __ * * To the Students of the Universi- * * ty of Oregon: * * Last week while in Portland on * * business for the Oregana, I sue- * * ceeded in securing contracts for * * advertising from the following ho- * * tels: The Oregon, one-third page, * j * the Imperial one-half page, and * l * the Perkins and Multnomah at * * least one-half page, and possibly * * more.

FretJ "Hardesty in ******** **** • WHO'S WHO AT OREGON * * It wa« during the “hard times” * * of 1893 when the circulating me- * * dium was so “tight” that house- * * wives used dollars to seal fruit * * jars, when clergymen and college * * professors dug ditches at fifty * * cents a day, when the banks * * “caved in” by the millions, that * * Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Esty, of the * * Hudson Bay trading post at the * * mouth of the Columbia River wel- * * corned the arrival of a square- * * shouldered son, with a face like * * Webster and a voice like Cicero. * * The general business and finan- * * cial depression influenced the * * fond parents to such an extent * * that they altered the boy’s name * * to such an extent that it became * * extant Hard-esty. The choice of + * the first name was not so hard. * * At first they called him Freddie, * * in order to make it rhyme with * * his final section of his name- * * piece, but now, since everybody * * knows him so well, either by rep- * * utation or personal friendship, * * plain, common Fred fills the bill. * * During his four years at As- * * toria High School Fred was rep- *; * resented in nearly every activity * * the school boasted of: basketball, * * and baseball and debate, and held + * down the jobs of Senior Presi- * * dent and Student Body President * * as well. * * Fred entered his collegiate ca- * * reier at Oregon in 1911, and has * * redeemed the adopted portion of *, * his name by hard work. He was * * President of the Sophomore Class, * * was a member of the first Stu- * j * dent Council at the University, *' * and has taken an active part in * * forensics. * ’ Last) April, wnen tne Mexican * dictator told Woody Wilson * * “ ‘Huer-ta’ head in,” following the * * Tampico affair, Fred was liable to * * service across the Rio. There was * * no “debating” the subject nor * * begging the question; “orders is * * orders,’ and he would have to have * * gone. For colloquial (good word, * * eh ?) purposes, one of the instruc- * * tors in the “Love Affair” Lan- * * guage Department advised the * * learning of Spanish (possibly al- * * so to get an idea of his birth- * * place or the time of his birth) * * —Fred took the negative. * * „ However, Fate, Fortune, or * * maybe Fool Luck (we beg your * * j»rdon, Fred, no reflections, pres- * * ent company always excepte) in- * * terceded in his behalf; Woody de- * * cided that “egression” was the * * better part of valor, and the Or- * * egon regiments stayed at home * * and learned the tango. * ************ EXHIBITION OF MAXFIELD PARRISH PICTURES CLOSES The exhibition of Maxfield Parrish pictures, on the top floor of the Ad-; ministration Building, closes today. These pictures are reproductions of illustrations done by Parrish for Eu-1 gene Field’s poems, Hawthorne’s Wonder Book and the Arabian Night.

MAKES RATES TO GAME IN PORTLAND SATURDAY Joe Sheehan and Harold Fitzgib bon have charge of the special rates for the Oregon-W. S. C. game at Port land Saturday. The Oregon Electric will give fare and one-third rates, and possibly, if the size of the crowd warrants, a lower rate will be offered. “Already about sixty men have in quired about the rates,” said Joe Shee han, “and I look for about 75 to make the trip. Although it is somewhat early for the stndets to go home, a number who live in Portland will avail themselves of this opportunity for a week-end vacation. Yell Chief Vosper reports that he will be unable to make the trip, and the rooting will, no doubt, be left in the hands of one of the assistants. “The Club” Biggest and Best CIGAR AND BILLIARD RESORT IN THE VALLEY * .
