COMMITTEE IS VIGILMIT Wrath of Classmates Aroused by Evil Doing of Negligent Freshmen. Certain members of the freHbmen class, who have seemingly discarded the symbol of their greenness and have formed a hahit of appearing on the cam pus adorned ini headgear unbecoming to a freshman, had better look out. So say the Frosh. The freshmen vigilance committee has its eyes open and the offenders who have been congratulating themselves on getting by without wearing the little greener will be spirited from their beds some night and either heaved into the roillracc or taken far into the country Smart Separate Skirts SMART SEPARATE SKIRTS A variety of latest models for dress, street and sport wear. Our assortment is ex ceedingly smart and there is a style suitable for every figure. Silk taffeta, wool velours, French serge, wool poplin, Chuddah cloth, worsted checks. ' Price $k.00 to $12.50 Large’s Cloak & Suit House 865 Willamette Street Phone 525 where they will be left to make their way home as best they can. Fair Warning Given The weather is bad and it is no fun plodding to college in the morning with rain running down the back of one’s necks but the members of the vigilance committee say the traditions of the Uni versity must be preserved and if they are not it will become the painful duty of certain members of the freshmen class to punish the offender in some ap propriate way. Several of the culprits have been spotted coming from the library at night and instead of pulling a small green cov ering from their pockets a real cap has made an appearance and thle wearers have been seen to slink away lamong the shadows of the trees on the campus with other than the little verdant shingle cov ering the place where their brains should be. “It’s an old custom of the University and it must be lived up to. Those who have been careless about the caps take this as a warning. One might get by a few times but there are a good many eyes watching and one has only one’s self to blame if a cold plunge into the millrace is taken,” says the Eye-That Sees. _l Winning Miss Winner (Continued from page 1) Tetrazinnin, Anna Held and other no table visitors to Portland. Interviews Parnunt. One time Miss Winner was sent to interview Dustin Earnum, the actor, who went down with the Lusitania. The night that she talked with him he seemed rather out of sorts. lie sat on the trunk in his dressing room,! answering questions glumly with “yes” and “no.” Finally she asked him if the' reason he portrayed western parts so wcdl was not on account of his having Indian blood in his veins. “A bomb could not hhve started him more quickly,” said MWs Winner. “He told me about every New England ancestor that he possessed.” Most Interesting Thing In the World. “To ine the newspaper is the most in teresting thing in the world. I would rather he a newspaper woman than any thing else. I think that is n great career for the woman horn with thei essentials that make n journalist. A college educa tion will not give n girl more brains than she has but it will help train them,” she said. “If a girl loves the newspaper life she should go into it. If she is not n success the city editor will toll her so by promptly dismissing her. Rhc should go out of her way to answer questions and to accommodate people; Ishe should always try to make friends flor her pa per. If you are invited out t<i luncheon, you should put on your hesti dress and go, even though you would rather stay at home in your spare hours. If you are asked to address a clnss in journal ism do it.

All active members requested to be present. in; if you are going home spring vaca tion, see the above person who is from your county, and tell him you are. Or— if he meets you first—look happy when he mentions the matter. For, as an nounced last week, the purpose of the organization is to interest high school seniors in the University of Oregon; you are the person who can do it best in your own town; and spring vacation is the time to make your big killing. HeTe is an example of what is to be done: at Klamath Falls there is a senior class of 28, of whom 27 expect to enter college, it is reported. Oregon schools will probably get the majority. IIow many will the University get? If you lived in Klamath Falls and were home spring vacation, you would go with your lieutenant and all the University alumni that could be scared up around the county, over to the high school and talk “Oregon.” Will Break Ice With Faculty. How would you break the ice with the high school faculty? That would be all fixed before you got there. For the com mittee through its corresponding secre tary, Roberta Killam, and the lieuten ants will see to it that the faculties are asked to set aside an assembly hour during spring vacation for the special purpose of spreading information about higher education. And now if you aren’t going home. From your county a number of high school seniors are going to write in and ask what the University has to offer in the way of real education and frills. And you are the person who knows best. And if you would write a personal letter or even sign a form letter telling that senior what’s what, it might add one to the class of 1020. Ferhaps your lieuten ant won’t ask you to do anything so lit erary, but at leas you can get hooked up with the general scheme to show you are interested. The form letters are be ing prepared now, and will be explained fully, later. Professor E. U. Robbins has seen a scheme worked much like the committee is going to float here, at the University of Iowa. It practically doubled the at tendance since it wns initiated there, less than ten yenrs ago, he said. Be sides it gave those students who did the publicity work with the high schools a good send off when they finished Univer sity and wanted to work. Yell Leader Revival (Continued from page 1) spirit of the student body than to ap point too many yell leaders. Harry Kuck—Sophomore representa tion is all right, because of the propor tion of underclassmen. I cannot say that I favor giving the yell leader an "O.” I believe in awarding him a let ter, but I think that the “Y” should be more prominent. Max Somer—The ; ell leader has need ed a committee of assistants for some time. It is too much work for one man. The awarding of the letter proposed in the amendment will attach the honor that the position should have. Genevieve Shaver—I would favor hav ing a sophomore member of the council if he could remain on the council through his junior year. The advantage lies in : the continuation of his office. The yell I leader should be awarded a letter and his position should be made more im portant. Does Not See the Advantage Leslie Tooze—I hard'/ see the advan tage of having a sophomore on the council. He would be more of a figure head than anything else. The seniors are so much in the majority on the council that they really control the sentiment, and they are not likely to do anything contrary to underclassmen sentiment, for they are cognizant of the underclass men feelings on student body affairs. The advisory committee is a good thing. The yell leader needs more support. I do not favor giving an "O” to auythiug outside of athletics. I do, however fa vor giving the yell leader some recog nition for the work he ha', done. “MIGHTY OREGON” TO MAKE ITS DEBUT New Oregon March to Be Played for First Time at Band Concert Next Friday. “Mighty Oregon,” Albert Perfect's in spiring new march, will be first, played before a University audience on Friday night, March 10, in Villard hall, the oc casion being the University band con ceit. One more practice session and the 32 piece band will be ready for its com plete program. For more than a month rehearsals have been concentrated on copcert numbers, and after each prac tice Director Perfect has said: “We are ready any time, now.” Two weeks ago, President Walter Grebe returned to school and took his place in chair number one of the trom bone section. Maurice Plyde, cornet soloist, has re-entered this semester. IJpyd Tpgert has taken a place by the drums. James Vance, a new freshman frim Medford, has bolstered the alto section. A general improvement may be noted. I Sports Kept Many Away |Football, inter-fraternity and inter class basketball, wrestling and soccer demanded the attention of some of Ore gon’s instrument puffers at the begin ning of the year, but now every member is considering the band first and re hearsal turnouts have been regular. Mr. Perfect says that he is confident that the band will soon be the leading University musical organization because its; members are showing both improved individual talent and better ensemble work. The instrumentation is almost id pal, he says. 'Selections that have been played about the campus before will not be included in the program. While the list of numbers to' be presented has not yet been issued, it[is certain that Mr. Perfect’s “Mighty Oregon” will be rendered. The boys in the band believe “Mighty Oregon” to be a better march than “On Wisconsin,” lo cally known as “On Oregon.” ;A San Francisco man has just com pleted writing 5.454 words on an ordin ary postal card. Previously the record was held by a New Yorker with the num ber of 4,200.
