One of the outstanding features of collegiate anti-war propaganda is that the moving spirits behind the mass of printed material are not students. In the name of collegians appeals are go ing forth throughout the breadth of the land, “Collegians, Protect Your Ideals,” etc. That euphonious word “Collegian” is being worked overtime. It is distress ing. A bigoted set of Individuals with a warped sense of honor are using their pernicious influence by forming so-called “Collegiate Anti-Militarism Leagues,” and then appealing “brother to brother" to “fellow” collegians. These propagandists are setting up d e 1 i b o r a teiy and narrow-mindedly, “Fear” cringing fear, ns our nntional ideal. Not in so many words, no, but fenr, nevertheless. Their destructive literature would ter rorize our hearts with fenr of war, fear of loss of life, fenr of human unhappi ness, fear of reversion to a primitive type, fear of loss of wealth, fear of re striction to individual liberties, fear of wants neglected, fear of conscription, fear of everything. They would create a ghost in every corner ready to spring out and say "boo.” They would make the future a nightmare for us. They would make us the eunuchs of a psychic age. i No, that is an ideal we can never sub scribe to. Our reason demands a far different appeal than that. FIRST OF ALL OREGON. And now our time-honored, tradition al junior week-end is threatened with a relapse. We hear that this most eventful event in the college calendar is to suf fer neglect at the hands of indifference, or to coine to earth and state the case plainly, there are organizations who would like to see jhnior week-end abolish ed. Abolish junior week-end? Never! There are two great week-ends in the college year which set (lie University apart in the minds of the people through out the slate. Those two are “Home Coming,” and “Junior Week-end.” For (lie former, two days are dedicated to the entertainment of relatives, alumni, friends and visitors. For the latter, two days are dedicated to prospective stud ents. Both are necessary for the Uni versity to maintain its prestige. We can talk “greater Oregon” about the state until we are blue in the face and we can have our “greater Oregon” commit tee and send our representative students and professional speakers abroad but never will the good come from that, that a genuine home-coming on the campus and a junior week-end will do. In fault-finding it is a common thing to hear that Oregon is set in the minds of the people ns an ideal place for a social good time. But that impression never came from a genuine homecoming or jun ior week-end. If that impression prevails it could come and only would come be cause. some of our organizations have their formals to which are invited pros pective students who come to the campus for one night only, set a fast pace on the dance floor and then depart again without ever seeing the campus or meet ing a professor and setting foot inside of a class room or a building. We may have our formals and our social good times but for the good of our own Oregon we should first of all put our might and main into the best home comings and junior week-ends we can possibly. ♦ > ♦ Special Junior class meeting, ♦ 4 Monday, 4 o’clock, Villard hall. ♦ ♦ Very important. ♦ 4 Signed: ♦ ♦ The Entertainment Committee ♦ ♦ The Lottery Committee. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ There will bo a meeting of the ♦ ♦ Greater Oregon committee, Tues- ♦ ♦ day, at 3 o’clock, upstairs in the ♦ ♦ library. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Private dancing lessons ror beginners.

Five juniors, 11 sophomores and IS freshmen came under this ban. Thirteen of the 34 students so pro bated "flunked out” of the University in the February examinations. Six of these were reinstated.
