THEY WILL MIX
For so long that it has become a tradi
tion at Oregon, the Underclass Mix has
been uu annual affair ut the University.
Because of the benefit it works in or
ganizing and teaching the two under
classes to work together, it had grown
to be one of the best Oregon customs.
A reul benefit from year to year to the
student body and a fun produced for the
uilunmi and students ns well.
This year it was impossible to stage the
•nix because of the S. A. T. C.
The custom, however, whs conside-od
too good for Oregon, and agitation for tl'.o
mix this year was begun by upperclass
men as soon as tho University was re
opened this month on the old basis. The
fieshmeu must be trained fo participation
in tho mix this year or they will not be
able to properly participate in the mix
uoxt fall, perhaps not at all. In this
case tin1 greater benefits of the tradition
would be lost to the University.
At this time all real Oregon men on
the campus, those who have something of
the Oregon spiri; left by the men who
have since gone ii to the service, have
been working to nu.ir.tnin for the Univer
sity all hen tradithns and the old Ore
gon fight for the good of Oregon and the
benefit of the old students to return with
their discharge Irons the army and
navy.
Uculiaing the importance of keeping
the upperclass mix the upperclassmen of
the Uuiversity im- bucked the move neat
in m the first. The freshmen have nude
no objection, ha,’' even favored such an
e\eut. It is a part of Oregon which they
had a right to feel they were missing.
Today the assurance from the sonlu •
.• ore class that they are not oppos ug
the mix In huso they don't want to tuit
with the irishmen but wait only for a
favorable day for the visitors at their
massacre of the one year men, comes as
good news on the Oregon campus.
It now appears that the juniors with
their long vested authority on underclass
mixes, rubbed the wool the wrong way
»n the sophomores, who did not have
their wool worked over in the old Ore
gon manner while they were freshmen *
«nd so could not stand it graciously ae
cording to custom.
But Oregon is back on the old basis
this quarter where it was net during the
S. A. T. C. nor during the period of
freshmanhood of the present sophomore
class. From this time on underclass
men should try to run true to the old
form. A long j^riod of years before the
war, and a short time under changed con
ditions since, has proved it to he best.
Underclass mines are good for rubbing
the obstinate wool.
When the sophomore weather prophet
says its all right, Let's Go!

Sophomores Not Keen
for Underclass Nix
Say Red Sheets of’22
I
The sophomore class through a meet
ing of its men this noon decided to
notify the junior class, which by tradi
tion has charge of the Underclass Mix,
that they would not participate in the
mix scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
The attitude of the class, as express
ed at the meeting, is not in opposition
to the mix in any way whatever but is
takpn in view of the undesirable weather
conditions of Kincaid field at this time.
In their announcement to the juniors
they will agree to meet the freshmen on
the first Saturday the juniors shall set
aside, provided the weather permits.
“WE UNDERSTAND TIIE SOPHO
MORES ARE NOT KEEN FOR THE
UNDERCLASS. WE DO NOT BLAME
THEM. ’22“
In large wood-type letters this mes
sage was put forth on the campus for a
few hours, at least, last night on full
puge red ink posters.
Pasted profusely on side walks of the
campus, all University buildings and on
the fraternity and sorority porches and
windows, the freshman message was soon
noticed. The. poster crew had evidently
worked early, between the hotlrs of ten
and twelve as the work was noticed
shortly before midnight by sophomores
A committee of second year men was
organised and the major portion of the
posters! removed before 8 o’clock classes
this morning. Few were overlooked.
Two of the posters were found on the
senior bench, it is said.

HIGH TRIBUTE PAID
ROOSEVELT AS MAN
BY BISHOP SUMNER
(Continued from Page 1.)
tens ns they really were, things would
have not been us they tire today.”
‘‘Roosevelt was a s'fatesman, rather
than n politician,” said the Bishop. "He
knew 'polities and played the game, but
he 'Stood only for that, party that could
carry on reforms. At the age of 28 he
‘held the speakership iin the house of
representatives assembly in New York.
Prom that time he fought all types of
political machines, machine politics, un
less they carried out hits reforms.”
Givos Reasons for Statesman
Giving reasons to prove that Roose
velt was a statesman rather than a ]x>l
ititiain, Bishop Summer said that no pol
itician would have invited Booker T.
Washington to take dinner with him at
ttho White ' House, nor, would any pol
itician hare antagonized capital amd la
bor as be did during his temporary of
fice as president, when lie took McKin
ley’s place.
Another illustration gtiven to show
Roosevelt ns a true American was that,
although lie could not go to Europe him
self,, he sent his four sons and gave
great encouragement to those who re
mained behind who also did their part.
Bishop Stunner paused to say a word
in appreciation off Quentin Roosevelt,
whose death left libs father broken
hearted. Speaking to a frieitid who had
known Quentin in France, Bishop Sum
ner said that the opinion his comrades
had of him was that he was honest, dem
ocratic and eonrageeous. Ho also told
the story of the answer Quentin made
when a child, to the question of a woman
who asked linm if lie did not. thick it
strange to attend a public school with
common boys. Quentin answered, “My
father has taught me that there are
big boys and little boys, fat boys and
thin boys, and no other kind of hoys.”
Democratic and Loved Friends
This doctrine which was given to the
son was carried out by the father
throughout has life, according to Bishop
Sumner. Alrhomgh lie had mingled with
the royalty of Europe and the most in
tellectual men in the world, he ahvavs
was democratic and loved his old friends.
lbwring of the presence of an old
friend. Jeff Bullock, who was in l.or Vm
during one of Roosevelt's trips to Eu
rope, explained Bishop Sumner in illus
tration of this point, Roosevelt wired

turn to meet mm mere as ne coiuu uol
stand to wait any longer before talking
to someone in the dialect otf his 'native
section of America.
Speaking of Coolnel Roosevelt as an
intellectual man and an author, Bishop
Sumner explained that while often his
work was poorly written, it was because
he was so pressed for time. Roosevelt
had a great mind, he said, that could
grasp and retain knowledge which could
be turned to use at any minute. During
the strenuous last week of his presiden
tial campaign he read 13 books, which
included the reading of seven otf Dick
ens’ works
“His library at Sagamore Hill,” said
Bishop Sumner, “is a room almost the
size of Villard. Tt contains hooks of
philosophy, science and autobiography,
not only in English, hut in French and
German.”
Character Made Him Influence
“I believe,” said the Bishop, “that has
integrity of character and his moral
standing reside him the great influence
he is.” “Although,” he explained, “his
actions have often been severely crit
licised, no one has criticised his honesty |
of motives.
“lie served his time as a construc
tive critic,” he went on to explain, “and
if in the past few weeks he became con
siderable of a scold, it should be remem
bered that he was a most heflpfui critic,
for he compelled the adimintetratiom' to
live up to a higher standard than if there
had been r.o criticism.”
Rending two paragraphs from some
of Roosevelt’s latest work in which he
preached the dloctrine otf the strenuous
life, in which a man Should dare mighty
things even in defeat rather than life in
“the shadow of die twilight” of those
who follow n the common herd.
Bishop Summer concluded by saying:
Lover of Beautiful
“Roosevelt was fearless iu struggle,
blit homorable in his methods. He was
singularly winsome ami buoyant with
friends. He wa.s a lover otf all! the beau
tiful in liife and yet practical.
“He was obliged to give the true value
to men and life and yet was not petty
in ‘his views of either.
“lie was admired and praised univer
sally but was always simple and demo
cratic. lie was a masterful leader of
men and a friend of little children. He
was a soldier and statesman, but he
had the fear otf God in his heart.”
Before beginning h.is address, Bishop
Sumner slid that he wanted the stu
dents otf the University to know that the
people in Portland and the friends of the
University throughout tlie state have
been watching the way in: which the in
fluenza epidemic was dealt with and the
way in which the University lias done
its part during the war.
“They are proud of the University,”
he said, “and appreciate what it has
done.”
