The Customary Thanksgiving Vacation
Must Oregon students be deprived of their customary Thanks
giving vacation period this year? The question has been widely
discussed on the campus since the decree of the faculty was pub
lished last week, and the general opinion seems to be that the faculty
should reconsider its action.
Thanksgiving vacations at Oregon have been a custom. Year
after year, until now, when the student left home for college, the
parting word was usually, “See you at Thanksgiving.” Now comes
the faculty ultimatum which decrees that only Thanksgiving Day
proper will be granted as a holiday this year, whereas the Friday
following has always been recognized as a part of the Thanksgiving
holiday period. This means that only the students living in Eugene
will be able to spend Thanksgiving Day with their families.
The faculty decision abolishing the time-honored custom came
about last year, when at was declared by some ot the faculty members
that the many interruptions in the month of November were not in
harmony with the introduction of higher standards.
They held that Homecoming, the game at Corvallis and Armistice
day caused a series of interruptions last year, nl their arguments
it was pointed out that some of the students did not return to their
class work until the Tuesday following the (). A. C. game. They de
clared that the rally after the Homecoming game broke into the
routine of the work. Then there was Armistice day, and another
break.
Was the faculty action in abolishing the Thanksgiving vacation
period a disciplinary one? Students who stayed in Corvallis until
Tuesday following the game should have been dealt with as indi
viduals who violated the unexeused-abseuce-trom-class rule. ' !1 be
Homecoming period is not one when holidays are granted. An
impromptu rally broke out the Monday following Homecoming
of last year, it is true, but it was on Monday afternoon and only
afternoon classes were missed. As a matter of fact, the student
council took action immediately after this outbreak to suppress any
similar ones throughout the year. This was at the request of the
faculty.
Searching through the records of enrollment for last year, the
Emerald finds that nearly 70 per cent of the students enrolled
lived within seven or eight hours travel of Eugene. The majority
of this number lived within four hours ride of the campus. This
percentage will probably be found to have increased when the
figures are compiled for this term.
This majority has been going to their respective homes each
year since the existence of the University to spend Thanksgiving
Day. Many of the others who lived farther away have been the
guests of their college friends at their homes for the holiday period.
They cannot do this if they have to return to their classes Friday.
The Emerald contends that the gain in morale to the students,
as a result of their being allowed to go to their homes for Thanks
giving, would offset any loss which some of the members of the
faculty believe might result frAm the students being granted the
customary privilege.

FROSH DIALATE8 ON COURTESY
Dear Editor: I have read the courte
ous letter of ye Co-ed complaining of
the numerous highbrow frosh with the
light head adornments—and blushed in
purple hues.. Haughty frosh must be
made to please the Co-eds, but does the
method of chastisement as suggested
by ye Co-ed bring the best„results? I
suggest the following system, and hope
that the Co-ed may find it satisfactory.
Wouldst have complete hat-lift? Sig
nalling right elbow level with shoul
der.
Wouldst have merely a bow? Extend
right arm at an acute angle above the
shoulder.
Wouldst have a left handed. salute
with side step? Extend right hand
in direction of frosh midriff.
Wouldst have the OREGON HELLO?
Just say "Hello”—and smile if the
occasion justifies such action. We
frosh are Oregon students. —1925.
MANY FRESHMEN ATTEND
GET-ACQUAINTED MIX
Members of Faculty Give Class of 1926
Advice to Follow During
University Career
If a freshman is good authority on
entertainments, the Frosh-Mix held
Saturday night in the men’s gymnasium
was a rousing success. A good pro
gram took up the earlier part of the
evening, and after the frosh got ac
quainted, they spent the remainder of
the evening in dancing.
A tag was pinned to each frosh with,
“Hello, . . . .is my name,” on it,
which filled in and helped the fresh
men get better acquainted.
The program, which was enjoyed by
all consisted of a vocal solo by Roy
Bryson, eccentric dancing by Stewart
Bliss and a violin solo by Helen Harper.
A short talk was given by Dean Fox
in which she emphasized the necessity
of each freshman making sure that
nothing should be done that would re
flect upon himself, his class, or the Uni
versity. Dean Straub in his talk
pointed out that while the freshmen
class has the “pep” to do things, the
University is depending upon the class
to do the right thing. Hesden Met
calf, class president, in a short ad
dress appealed to the students to work
for the best interest of the University,
and to remain as one unit, a class un
divided.
PRESIDENT IN PORTLAND
President Campbell is in Portland to
attend the Kenneth A. ,T. MacKenzie
memorial luncheon, at which he is to
talk.
