The idea of this decree was that new men at Oregon should go through three terms of college life as a freshman despite the number of hours which he had to his credit. Later the freshman class in a meeting were told of the decis ion and notified that every mem ber of the class of 1923 should wear a green cap. The class, taking a wise stand, voted to up hold the decision of the student council. The freshman and pos siuiy me siuuem. uuuy u»eu nave fallen down in this regard, for during last term freshmen could be found on all sides wearing civilian headgear. The past week has seen a doubling of the num ber shedding their green caps. The worst of the entire matter is that these freshmen have been allowed to do this without being reprimanded or punished in any way. One of Oregon's greatest traditions has been trampled upon, and laughed at by about half the freshman class who have disregarded the old tradi tion, the decree of the student council, and the resolution of their own class and have donned their regular hats and caps. The freshman class has been woefully lax in this regard and in fact upperclassmen are won dering just what kind of a soph omore class the class of 1923 will make next year after they have gone through a year which has seen them ignoring frosh tarditions. The class is divided and not unified largely because they have not the common bond of frosh cap wear. It is to be admitted that the abolishing of all forms of hazing at Oregon has left the freshmen safe in a harbor where they can not be touched. They have taken advantage of the fact this year and by reason of the fact that they knew they would not be mill-raced or suffer other em barrassment such as every other frosh class offenders have un dergone in former years. There are forms of punish ment which can be meted out to offenders of the frosh cap trad ition which will meet the re quirements of every restriction and the Emerald advocates that j something be done along this line immediately. Either those loyal members of the University and the frosh class who have adhered to the tradition and who have worn their frosh caps continually should band together and form a vigilance committee to punish their offending class men or the student body should appoint some campus organiza tion such as the Order of the “0,” to see that no member of the class of 1923 appear any place without his frosh cap. If things continue as they have for the past month the frosh cap burning, which is an nually an event of Junior Week end, will have to be given up, for there will not be any freshmen who are wearing frosh caps. To see groups of students anxious ly scanning the grade sheets at the beginning of the term reminded one of the war-extra days. However class 5 in college is not quite as safe as class 5 in war day. THE Y. M. C. A. ELECTION Annual elections for officers of the University Y. M. C. A. for the coming school year will be held in the Y. M. Hut tomorrow 1 fro m8 in the morning until 6 from in the morning until 6 The benefits which the Uni versity and the student body at large receive from the campus Y. M. C. A. cannot be overesti ; mated and the selection of offi ■ cers is necessarily an important event. Every member of the University Y. M. C. A. should vote in the elections tomorrow. A hotly contested election would give the elected officers vim and enthusiasm in starting their per iods in office. The nomination committee wishes the fact announced that every elector has the right to nominate someone for the differ ent offices on his ballot. This should be remembered when vot ing for offices which have but one nominee on the ballot sheet. Afternoon date contests still con tinue. There Is quite a difference between trying to “beat the other fellow's time” socially and from an athletic standpoint. The latter us ually requires more backbone. “BEAU BRUMMEL” PLAY SE LECTED FOR COMMENCEMENT (Continued from page 1) one of the most brilliant comedies which has been cast in those times khown as the hoop skirt period.

AIMS GETS OFFER 8ANTA BARBARA SCHOOL AFTER MATHEMATICIAN 8alary $800 in ^Excess of That Paid Here Would be Given to Graphics Teacher Percy Paget Adams, professor of j graphics in the school of architec-; ture at the University, is consider ing an offer of a position as teacher of mathematics at Santa Barbara school, next fall. He was asked to take the position, last year, and al though a profesor of mathematics is needed in the school tills term, C. W. Cate, the head master, says he will hold the place open until next fall. During the April vacation, Profes sor Adams visited the school, which is fifteen miles from Santa Barbara, California. It is a private school for boys, apd at present there are 40 preparing for entrance examinations in some one of the best colleges and universities of the country. The school is conducted according to New England ideas, said C. W. Cate, who styles himself head master and, the other teachers, masters. Professor Adams would if he ac-j cepts this offer receive $800 more per year, than he is now receiveing at the University of Oregon he says. In all events, he will not leave this city, until fall, as he will do some surveying for the county, around Eugene, this summer. Professor Adam is a graduate of this University, and began teaching before he received his degree. After graduation, he was away for some time but returned in 1901, and has been a professor here since then.
