FRESHMEN MARCH TO
SOPHOMORES’ URGING
Green Capped Youngsters March In
Uneven Ranks Through City
One minute was given the Univer-!
sity of Oregon class of 1921 in which
to get out of sophomore sight by Nick
Sprague this afternoon. It was the
end of the annual green cap buying
and Jeft-foot-high parade.
There were 80 freshmen in the line.
In one minute from the time of
Sprague’s warning every Oregon
frosli was out of sight—but one. James
Gurney, of Glide, Oregon, stood on the
corner of Eighth and Willamette after
moving twenty feet in his allotted
minute.
"You had a minute to get out of
sight. What is the matter witli you?"
“I have already been out of* sight
twice,” said Gurney.
So, at the direction of sophomores
and a Eugene patrolman, James did
bis first freshman duty by carying off
the speaking block from the street
ca r track.
During the down town ceremonies
which folowed the cap buying at the
co operative store, Stanley Kenton and
Jake Leslie wore called to the plat
form to answer for evading the soph
omores. They sang: "We are two
babes lost in the woods.” Tlio soph
omores echoed: “Rotten.”
Two former O. A. C. boys were
called to the soap box to tell why they
left O. A. C. and volunteered “To Hell
with O. A. C.” Their other contribu
tions were universally “rotten!”
"This Is the rottenost freshman class
we ever saw at Oregon,” said Sprague
In an addres to tlio new frosli at the
beginning of the parade. “You have
no co-operation In the ranks, no Or
egon Spirit, an dno pep. Yo ulack en
tirely the Instinct that is the making
of un Oregon man.”
_ REGISTRATION IS HIGH ___
(Concluded from page 1.)
to liavo brought a spirit of oarnest
i.css to young men and women all
over the state. They realize, as never
before, the need of learning, both as
a preparation for duties brought on
bv tho war anil also for the immenso
opportunities that await tho Amorican
after tho war.”
President Campbell expresses the
belief that the introduction of military
training at the University has at
tracted a large number of Oregon boys
who would not otherwise be in col
lege. Increase in the registration of
women is attributed to the introduc
tion this year of the home economics I
courses. Contributing to the regis
tration of both men and women is the
gradual growth of the reputation of
Oregon for its courses of study and
tho "Oregon Spirit.”
Figures in the office of A. R. Tiffany,
registrar, show that Southern Wash
ington is more than ever before fur
nishing students to Oregon. The law
department of the University has
drawn one or two students away from
California universities this year. The
ordnance courses offered this fall in
co-operation with the government are
another contributing factor in the re
markable registration.
Hopes of an even larger registra
tion than that of the opening semes
ter are given for the second semester
of the year. At that time the $50,000
women’s dormitory, now building, will
be opened.
"More than ever before the boys
and girls of the smaller and more re
mote districts of the state are coming
to realize the greatness of the Univer
sity of Oregon and to take advantage
of tho opportunity afforded them,” said
Dean Straub in expressing his pleas
ure over the fact that he will have
under his charge a freshman class
larger than ever before in the history
of tho University. “In every town in
the distant parts of the state to which
faculty members were sent during tho
past year to carry the mesage of Or
egon advantages and Oregon Spirit,
there lias been big results.
“Dufur, Wasco county, is one such
town which formerly furnished few
students to the University. This year
she furnishes five students out of a
population of scarcely 600. Last year
Redmond, in the central part of the
state, witli a population of but 800,
sent eight students.
“In my six weeks’ tour of Oregon 1
found parents greatly pleased with
the la.ttitudo taken by President Wil
son and ttie Oregon Superintendent of
Schools, J. A. Churchill. Thoughtful
pt'oplo throughout the state expressed
their pleasuro to me that these men
were backing University training in
the national crisis. They feel that the
young men and women of the stato
can do more toward helping their coun
try by attending the University than
by rushing, young and untrained, into
active military service.”
