Bold Bad Freshmen
Warned; Sophs Keep
List of the Offenders
Freshman, begare! 'The vigilance
committee has been restored to the ac
tive list, and is camping on the trail of
bold, bad freshmen who do naughty
things. Moreover, the sophomores are
now out of the infirmaries to a large ex
tent, and they are out for blood.
The life of a frosh who violates tra
ditions and customs now, will hardly be
worth living The mill-race treatment
has been temporarily discontinued be
cause "£ the epidemic of influenza, but
assurances have been given that it has
not been abandoned forever. The sophs
are keeping a little black book, wherein
go the names of the doers of evil, and
their evil deeds. The day of reckoning
is coming.
Freshmen must do certain things, and
there are others which they must abso
lutely not do. Among the required things
are the wearing of the green caps at all
times when out of doors; behavior suit
able to a freshman; showing due respect
and obedience to their superiors, — the
sophomores and the upperclassmen;
working at all times for Oregon. They
shall not smoke on the campus under any
pretense whatsoever. They shall not
walk on the Oregon seal in front of Vil
lnrd Hall. They shall not walk on the
grass. They shall not pass other un
dergraduates without speaking.
A tea party and gentle entertainment
was staged on Kincaid Field last night
between tatoo and taps by the vigilance
committee for certain members of the
freshman class who were domed worthy.
Certain of the non-commissioned offi
cers and other high lights of the class
were present. Among the entertain
ments provided, were the -well-known
game of tunnel, better known as hot
hand, and the much used blanket-toss.
There was a large attendance, and “an
onjoyble time was had by all.” Several
more like entertainments are scheduled.
MILLER TO LEAVE AT ONCE
Appointment to West Point Made; Two
Others Recommended.^
Kerby Miller, a junior in the Univer
sity and member of the S. A. T. C., has
received his appointment to West Point
from Representative Ilawley and will
leave at once to begin his work as a ca
det in the military academy.
Two candidates from the state at large
who were among those examined here
yesterday have been confidentially rec
ommended for appointments by Coy. W.
H. C. Bowen.
Famous Multnomah Athlete
Will Direct S. A. T. C.
Recreation.
Dean H. Walker, graduate manager,
announced last uiglit. that one of his last
acts in his official position was to sign
Eddie O'Connell as head of the recre
ational work of the University. O’Con
nell, who fo.r the hist eight years has
been connected with the Multnomah Ath
letic Club of Portland, is one of the best
known coaches of wrestling and boxing
on the Pacific coast, and his proteges
in these two lines are known through
out the United States.
O’Connell, who has been attending
the Officers’ Training Camp at the Uni
versity, will bakek up his new duties at
once. In addition to the work along
wrestling nnd boxing lines lie will have
charge of the gymnasium work, when it
begins, as well ns coaching soccer, cage
ball and swimming.
Wrestled At Yalo
College work is not new to O’Connell,
as he was for four years coach of box
ing and wrestling at Yale and for one
year held a similar position at Cornell.
While at Yale his squads won the inter
collegiate championship in their respec
tive sports for the four years.
O. A. C. has been endeavoring to get
O’Connell for some time, but he was re
luctant to sign with any of the colleges
until he was convinced that in directing
the work of the men of the S. A. T. C.
he was really doing a war work. There
can be little doubt that work along the
lines O'Connell will direct will he of
great value to the men of the S. A. T. C.
.Tust what policy he will pursue O’Con
nell could not say yesterday when seen
after having signed the contract. The
work is new and he really had no plans
thought our before he was confronted
with the offer of the position. Dean
Walker was overjoyed at having secured
the services of O’Connell, who will take
his place ns director of intra-mural ath
letics as well as that of Etf Shockley,
who coached wrestling and swimming.

withou the passes required because of
the Spanish influenza epidemic. If the
practice is continued, it is announced, all

Great Oaks Refuse
To Grow from Acorns
Planted on Campus
‘‘Groat oaks from little acorns grow.”
That is to say, sometimes.
Colonel Leader is quite sure there are
exceptions to the rule expressed in this
old saw.
The Colonel’s acorns, it appears, have
refused to produce any oaks at all, and
tJ:e University thus is deprived of a row
of descendants of a historic English tree
The aeorns which Colonel Leader
Irought with him from England last win
ter were taken from the famous Charles
Oak in Euston Park, Norfolk enmity.
"I will send for more acorns,” said
Colonel Loader, "as soon as I can. I am
anxious to have the trees on the campus
for 1 believe they would he of special
interest to Oregonians since Charles 11.
who planted tin- tree from which l took
the acorns, is nhe man who sent the Hud
son Bay company to this territory.”
The story of the Charles Oak is an
interesting one. Charles 11 after the bat
tle of Worcester hid iu a large oak at
It. seobel. When he escaped he took an
acorn with him and planted it in the
park of his son, the Duke of Richmond.
It is from this tree that Colonel Lender
took his acorns.
‘‘The extreme heat of the mail trains
in which the acorns were shipped here,”
said Colonel Leader, “is responsible for
their failure to sprout." The seeds were
taken from the tree throe months before
they were planned, but according to au
thorities this would make no difference.
The Charles Oak was struck by light
ning shortly after Colonel Leader leached
An erica so the acorns which he brought
here are of the last crop. However, he
believes he can get more
