The Oregon “Hello tradition,’’ has again come in for a tribute, this time from our neighbors to the North. Oregon’s tradition of saying “Hello!” has long been a matter of emulation to the colleges throughout the country, none of these have been able to establish the custom successfully. It is Oregon’s own. This is the item as it was treated editorially in our contemporary: How Do They Do It? At Oregon every day is “Hello Day.” Men women, sen iors and frosh, teachers and students, all exchange friendly greetings as they pass,-regardless of introductions and stiff backed convention. “Hello!” is Oregon’s most precious tradi tion, the soul of her personality among universities, the watch word of an enormous comradeship, as fine as it is unexampled. We have tried unsuccessfully what Oregon has put over thus gloriously. Last year we tried it for a day. Frostbitten young men, and others who lacked not zeal but appreciation vowed at the setting of that day’s sun an ancient, heartfelt vow: “Never again!” But Oregon says “Hello!,” does it sincerely and proudly. How do they do it? —University of Washington Daily. This time-honored tradition became a part of Oregon years ago and it has come to us who are here now. We see what difficulties are met by the students of other institutions who attempt to intro duce a similar custom on their own campus. The spirit of Oregon students, friendliness and democracy, is known throughout the col lege world, one of the prime factors in keeping this spirit alive is the “Hello tradition.” Individually, however, there are a few of us. some of the new, some of the old, who sometimes find that we are not living up to this tradition. If individually, we fail in this matter, then collectively our famous custom will gradually become obsecure. Oregon must never outgrow the tradition which has molded its spirit through many years. We accept the tribute from our Northern friends, gracefully. 'Phe Corvallis (ia/.ette-Times, commenting on Oregon's homecom ing slogan. “Home to Meet 'em. Hack to Heat ’em," remarks drily and a bit saeraeastieally : It isn't slogans Oregon will need this year, but better hacks, tackles, center, ends and guards. Otherwise her chances are good." The tl-T. overlooks the point that Oregon Fight beats 0. A. C., and there will never be more of that in the Oregon eleven, than when the calender indicates the date as November 19.

Thursday, Nov erd, recalls some of tbi most interesting episodes in the history of the theatre. At the Chicago opera house, on June S*. 1800. the premiere of Mr. DeKoven’s I beautiful work was given. The story is told that the Bostonians, that ad mirable band of musical players, whose memory is so dear to myriads, were in severe straits when Mr. BeKoven sub mitted “Robin” to them for produc tion, and that the total resources which were available for the expenses of building the production and costuming the people consisted of about four hun dred dollars. !8o great was their faith, however, that they took the chance, and before many days had gone bv, Robin Hood” was the talk of Chicago, and later the entire English speaking world. It is said that since Mr. Bun bar’s revival, his company has sung the opera more than six hundred times. START “DEMOBBING" HKREf To the Editor: Bisarmament is the cry of the hour. Why should 'nt we as a university spring forward to answei the plea of the common rieople. We have here a little standing armv. known as the R. O. T. 0..

Open Forum GIVE THE TEAM A CHANCE To the Editor: One of our dis tinguished poets once said, “It’s easy enough to be pleasant when life flows along like a brook, but the man worth while is the one whb can smile at times when he’s getting the hook.” Oregon has had a long succession of football victories. For years she has been either at the top or there abouts. She has been a good winner, joyous but not too cocky in victory. Right now the students have an op portunity to show that they know how to take defeat gracefully. Not too gracefully, of course. But certainly there should be no note of harsh criti cism of a team that fought as Oregon fought last Saturday; no explaining away of defeat; no lack of credit to the victor. In the words of Bill Hay ward, Oregon though beaten Saturday, was not “licked.” It was no disgrace to be defeated by such a team as rep resents the University of California this season. Probably no eleven in the West will be a match for the Bears this year. A team little if any better than the one that defeated Oregon last Saturday ran up 28 to 0 on the best eleven in the middle west last season. The writer believes that the Oregon spirit will be equal to this unusual situation.
