THE GREEN CAP AGAIN
OLLOWING the con
tention on the part of
several members of
the freshman class
who with their mili
tary hours found that
they had sophomore
standing at the end
of the first term, the student
council decreed that for the
benefit of the University and
the freshman class alike a fresh
man should be gauged by the
length of time he has attended
Oregon rather than the number
of hours that he had. 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.

PROF. 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.
