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

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.

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.

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.
