COURTESY TO WOMEN.
Courtesy on tlie part of college men towards women is a
matter that h.as always J»eeu boasted of at Oregon. With the
rcyered tradition here that everyone says bellow to everyone
revered tradition here that everyone says hello to everyone
courtesy due to women—men often neglect to doff their hats
to the women to whom they sneak.
! No complaint can he made that students are not uphold
ing the old Oregon tradition of speaking to their fellow stu
dents. Although the University is much larger this year
than in the past, few if any students have failed to uphold the
old tradition.
But women have protested, and rightly, that men have
neglected to undertake the trouble to express the convention
al courtesy of lifting their hats when speaking. This is espe
cially noticeable among freshmen. There is no excuse for
'such neglect on the part of anyone, and there is but one rem
edy. Lift your hat or cap, or at least, make a noticeable at
tempt, to do so when you speak to women on the campus.
THE HOMECOMING BONFIRE.
There is just one week left until Homecoming. Very few
freshmen, with the exception of members of the bonfire com
mittee, have done any work up to this time to make the bon
fire v, reality. Twice this week volunteers have been called
upon to help with the work on the pyre, hut the men have
failed to turn out for any real work, according to members
of the bonfire committee.
The big Homecoming bonfire is one of the real features of
the week-end for visiting alumni. Probably every member of
the freshman class realizes the importance of the bonfire, hut
up to the present time the attitude has been that of letting
somfeone else do the real work.
Freshmen, il is up to you to see that the .bonfire is com
pleted by next Friday night! Von will be called on to gather
material, to help in the erection, and to guard the pyre. This
bonfire is a matter of class loyalty to the school. It is the first
chance freshmen have had to really work for Oregon, It is
a hard test, but it is up to the class of 1‘)24 to prove them
selves.
For the next week, freshmen, have Imt one ideal, the
greatest bonfire ever!
GOOD ENGLISH WEEK
HELD AT CAMPUS HI
Students’ Speech Improves; University
Teacher Addresses First
Assembly.
‘'Good English Week” ul the rumpus
high lias brought about a very noticeable
improvement in grammar, as well as
much fun at the expense of continual
users of slang. Thursday, “tag day.”
each pupil was given six “Watch your
speech" tags. Every time any one em
ployed a split infinitive or a word un
recognized by Webster one of the tags
had to In- signed and placed in a "Pan
dora's box.” Needless to say. the box
of Pandora was filled very rapidly.
Two assemblies during the week put
particular emphasis upon the need for
better use of the English language. Miss
Ida Turney, of the Kuglish department'
at the University, spoke at the first as
sembly showing how attention to gram
mar really meant patriotism in (lie end.
That “Good English doesn't mean poor
French” was demonstrated by the ad i
vanoed French class, who put on a ;
clever sk>t featuring the mail who i
punctuates bis speech with lnispro- j
pounced French words in an attempt to j
appear learned.
The campaign for good English was ,
not brought into the University. “Col
lege student are supposed to know how;
to speak correctly.” said Miss Mary
Perkins, in charge of the movement in
Ullgelie. Gut she stressed the word
"supposed.”
