Editor 655 Here’s What It Meant, Frosh TIIE annual Frosh parade, enlivened by slap-sticks and nptnerous bits of horse-play, introduced little of the serious to the average j member of the incoming class participating. But to those sopho mores and upper-classmen who marshalled the “largest class in his tory’’ in their antics, the parade had a more significant and deeper meaning. When the freshmen hurried as best they could through a wait ing line near the senior bench, some of them forgot that tradition re quired that they touch their lips to the unupholstered cement bench. The Senior bench, to those who have been here before, however, is a somewhat sacred article of furniture, by tradition made usable only for seniors. , Likewise the freshmen were introduced to the Oregon seal in front of Villard, but for the most part they were but dimly aware of the reason for the actions of upperclassmen in causing them to in spect its makeup. Upperclassmen revere also the Oregon Seal, be cause tradition has made it a sin to walk upon it. After their running climb up Skinner s butte to the giant 0 , the freshmen gained an idea of what that piece of cement meant. The “0” is a tradition which freshmen are meant to guard; always the “0” must be kept yellow, and at times when a different coat of paint is threatened, it must be guarded by freshmen. There are other traditions of Oregon which freshmen will soon learn and in time pass on to other classes. Of their own volition, Oregon students do not smoke on the campus. A tradition has made it possible, however, to smoke under the so-called “Nicotine tree, opposite the library. There are many class traditions which freshmen must also learn. Seniors wear sombreros; juniors, corduroys, and freshmen green • caps. All classes have distinctive sections in the Villard assembly hall where they always sit. The most famous tradition’is the Oregon “Hello ’. Always, everywhere, one Oregon student says “Hello to another. Girls speak to men, men to girls. It is this tradition which has made Ore gon famous for its democracy. Freshmen will gradually learn these traditions until so natural are they that the observance of them will become a part of the daily life. ADVERTISING is the meat and drink which allows the Emerald to greet you every morning in the school year. The Eugene busi ness men who advertise in the Emerald are entitled to the patron age of the students. The Emerald stands in a distinctive class in its circulation, and the business man who is wide awake and realizes that fact, goes after that class of circulation and is the man who is entitled to your patronage. 20 STUDENTS OF DRAMA NAMED FOR THE COMPANY Other Members to be Added; Name of First Play to be Known in Few Days Twenty students will participate in the plays to be given at Guild hall this year.

War Veterans In Ten Counties Served by Old Grads Ten of the 35 bonus attorneys who have been appointed for the counties of the state are University of Oregon graduates, a comparison of the list of attorneys with the records of the alumni secretary reveals. Of the others, scarcely any two are graduates of the same school, which gives the university a large plurality over other institu tions represented.

Erskine of Bend, is bonus attorney for Desehusetts county. A graduate of a still earlier date who will aid world war veterans in adjusting their claim* is Francis V.
