And it would be good but for one thing and that is that on several occasions this class spirit has reach ed such a height that “bad blood” has sprung up In the two factions. Ori several occasions the members of both classes were keyed up to such strong dislike for each other that they were on the verge of staging a hand to hand combat. On Thursday night in particular if upperclassmen from every organization on the cam pus had not convened together and cooled the burning spirits of the underclassmen a battle in which brickbats and clubs might have play ed a leading role was in line to occur. The only thing that is better for the University than class spirit is Oregon spirit. Class spirit Is ever to be commended and tills year’s freshman class deserves a degree of commendation for the manner In which they have banded themselves Into a unified body this early in the school year. But remember, class spirit ceases to bo a virtue and im mediately becomes a fault when it reaches (lie point that “bad blood” comes into existence and the mem bers of each class go "gunning” for each other. If this intense rivalry is allowed to live it is soon to lead to a nasty fistic combat. And once such a light is started it would be a hard matter to end. It would go on throughout the year breaking out into dirty lights occasionally by rea son of the desire of one class to get even with the oil or. The faults of such a condition Hand out dearly News of the fracas would spread lo the l'ar ends of the state rapidly and Oregon's fair name would bo badly hi smirched. Oregon fight could ne. oi reach a height without the co-oper iition of the members of nil four chases. Democracy, good feeling and pri gross would go glimmering into oblivion. There is a never-ending number of ill results which would bo caused by this kind of "class f pi: it.” The freshman ami sophomore classes never have or probably never will unite in blissful harmony. The tasks, rules and learning of Oregon freshman regulations and traditions are always a thorn in the skin of some individuals of the incoming l’rushman classes for the first few weeks and sometimes throughout the year, for they are made to feel that they are freshmen. On the other hand the sophomores, fresh from their year of bondage, are always over zealous to see that the freshmen are made to feel the unpleasantness of l’rosli life that they experienced in their first year. Hence arrives the difficulties. The unification of both classes caused by these feelings has a good effect for It is then that one learns to be loyal to his class and positive of the fact that his is the best class in school Never, however, can class spirit be tolerated when It becomes so great that ttie members of both classes want to exterminate each other. Remember, freshmen, that the day of hazing has past. You will never be "ridden” to the point of doing any thing without reason or anything which members of frosh classes be fore you have not been called upon to do. You are freshmen at Oregon and you must realize this fact and get the most out of it possible. Any upperclassman will tell you that his freshman year was the most enjoy able of all. And . sophomores, the upperclassmen must receive consid eration before you act. The underclass mix is over. The best class won. Oregon has started on her most wonderful year. Let all put their shoulders to the wheel and push for a GREATER OREGON. * sp OUR OCCASIONAL SHORT STORY “I—I think I sh-shall accept him.” Brought to the verge of tears by an overwhelming opposition, The Girl blurted out her declaration half defiantly. Most of the house, it ap peared, was against her. A dark haired girl leaned forward, taking her hands. “But you’d never be happy with him, dear. The men say he has an irritable disposition and a bad tem per and—” “I don’t believe it.” "Of course,” the dark-haired girl continued, “lie is wonderfully good to look at—he lias splendid eyes, and ills hair—but—” The Girl sat up suddenly, rigidly. Then: “It’s no use to argue. You’re ail wrong. The men who have been with him two years in the house liko him. You’re Jealous. Any one of you would take him if you had the chance—so there!” Tlio several girls in the circle laps ed back, conscious that their plan to head off their solf-willed sister was defeated. Rising hastily, The Girl loft the room. And so it came to pass that, after two years in a fraternity, the Eng lish bulldog passed to a sorority. HURD AND OVERHEARD (By Paul Farrington) 3.-.. The Pillow Confessional. “That night at the pillow confes sional . . . ”—Saturday Even ing Post. It seemeth to me, and correct I must be, That man might learn much of the love game professional, If once ho might hark to the words in the dark That pass on the porch in tlio Fil low Confessional. For there, wo are told, many stories unfold, And Agnes and Myrtle and Gladys and Gertie Together relato what occurred on their date With Wilbur and Willie and Bobbie and Bertie. How Wilbur was glancing, the while he was dancing, At some awful hussy with naught but a dimple; How Willie, the gentle, became sen timental— That night when he left—lie’s a dear—but so simple! i And Bobbie, it seems, is writing just reams Of letters each night to some other city— Gert says that his "brothers” let out there are others; lie's such a nice fellow—it’s really a pity. Bert knows quite a lot. why it seems he lias not Been pigging at all the other girls' houses. An illness he's had and it's surely too bad That the bitters last week put him on several souses! It seemeth to me (buzz buzz! it would be A treat to o'erhear, if it weren't trans gressional— The things that are said after all are in bed— That pass on the porch in the Pillow Confessional.

THE OREGON SPIRIT It's the spirit devoid of color line That tills our heart with friendship ties; Neither caste nor station in life define But by all so dearly cherished. It’s the spirit that knows no East or West, But welcomes all from far and near Who can at Oregon do his best This ideal of democracy to uphold. Like a passing cloud we come and go And the college days we may not recall; Yet this spirit will ever glow— Sail on! O, immortal Oregon Spirit. —TED KURASHIGE.
