The Virtue of Being Far-Sighted
Oregon has not attempted such drastic action as might be consid- ™
ered expedient in many cases where traditions have been wantonly
violated by students. At other institutions widely known and loved ^
for their traditions which have formed a sacred bond of loyalty among 8|
the students and alumni, these same traditions have been preserved jj
at all costs. Here at Oregon it has been plainly obvious during the past ti
year that the real significance of traditions has not been given just ”
consideration. *
The Daily Illini, commenting on a case of tradition violations re- 0
cently, says: “Illinois does not stand alone in her careful protection t:
of traditions. While lawyers are advocating their exclusive right to T
carry senior canes, Michigan comes forward with an even more drastic a
action to insure the wearing of freshman spots. One freshman was
recently dismissed from the University on the recommendation of the f
underclass conduct committee for his refusal to abide by freshman t
traditions.” ^
The agitation to cast aside forever the hazing activities which j
swept over the colleges and universities of the country a few years J
ago has evidently failed if it has proposed a method to keep the c
observance of traditions sacred. There must never be a return to 1
hazing methods in spite of this, for although effective iu imbuing |
the freshman with a spirit of do or die, they did not stand on the \
firm foundation desirable for the best results.
But tradition violators must be punished. An apparent disregard j
for traditions means the first step in a course which will mean the
complete breaking down of an “esprit de corps” which has given
Oregon a name throughout the world of college and university life.
Disgruntled individuals who have seized upon an opportunity to
destroy traditions must be taught to recognize the value of preserving
all that we now have. The spirit of friendliness and the human rela
tionships which now exist in this University cannot be maintained if
these very bonds which hold them intact are to be broken and torn
apart.
Oregon has not outgrown its traditions, for to outgrow them is to
lose every vestige of all that we now hold dear. No subterfuge should
be countenanced whore the cpiestions of traditions are at stake, lhey
are the vitality of the spirit of this University, and no effort must
be spared to preserve them. Where groups would destroy them, they
must be censured and shown the narrowness of their vision, their in
ability to forsee the future of the spirit of a great University. And
where individuals would disregard them, they must be dealt with in j
a manner which leaves no doubt as to the serious appreciation of
tradition keeping on this campus.
A Word in Time
The Emerald has said that there can surely be no issues in a
campus political campaign which will not stand the light of pub
licity. It stands firmly behind this statement and if any unworthy
issues should creep in then the full light of this publicity will be
thrown upon them. If individuals or groups must make questionable
charges enter in,—questionable because they savor of narrow mind
edness,—then they must be ready to back them up.
The heat of a political campaign cannot destroy the first duty of
loyalty to the University. This loyalty must always be kept upper
most and the future as well as the present considered. The students
are the custodians of the reputation of the University, and as such
must share the adverse criticism as well as the praise,—and keep
always at heart, a full realization of the responsibility imposed in
them.
When the smoke of the political battle has cleared somewhat, the
“lame duck club” suggested for the defeated candidates should do
much toward the hasty forgetting of political enmity and promoting
good fellowships. There is no place on this campus for election feuds,
and the organisation suggested will do much to keep them out.
FOREIGN STUDENTS GUESTS
Party Will Bo Qlvon at Y M. 0 A. Hut
Tomorrow Evening
All foreign students of tl>e Vuiver
sity will be entertained at a party at
the Y. M. C. A. Hut Friday inght, May
5. The program includes several mus
ical numbers, games, eats, and a few
reels of motion pictures. A piano solo,
“Endurance,” by Fred Plurad, prom
iaes to bo oue of the feature* of the
evening.
These parties for foreign students
have held quite a large place in the Y.
M. C. A. program this year. Several of
them have been held, all of which have
been very successful. They not only
give the foreign students amusement
and make them acquainted with each
other, hut also an opportunity to be
come more familiar with our language
and customs.
The Crow’s Nest
By CABNY

“There are nine and sixty ways of,
composing tribal lays,
And every single one of them is1
right.”
If the author of that impressive half- j
truth could behold the profanation of
poetry which appeared in yesterday’s
Emerald over the signature of E. J. H.,
he’d change his mind with vigorous
unanimity. The Cynic tribe certainly
needs a ballad monger who can at least
sing without conveying the sensation of
a skeleton throwing a drunken storm in
a china shop.
As might be expected, E. J. H. shows
just enough of education to misquote
Noah Webster and me and other ro
manticists. With an assortment of
vacuous, auxetic phrases, which are the
common property of the rabble and of
the proletariat, he proceeds to condemn
what he cannot understand. If, indeed,
I have wandered through the animal
world with Noah it is because I have
been seeking him in his lair in order to
make an impression on the zoological
gardens of his pseudotetrameral brains.
Three years ago a friend of mine went
into the lair of a mountain lion on a
zoological expedition. To date he has
not returned. Thus, it is no small mat
ter to enter the kennel of a Cynic.
The other (lay I published a feeble,!]
ecrepit bit of levity concerning the
tatus of the R. O. T. C. It was one of
hose selections of insipid, archaic
umor of the type that gives vent to
he arid, cackling laughter that rasps
n the wake of the average Y. M. C. A.
oke. Any intelligent human being
rould have called me on such gray
warded wit. E. J. H. had never heard
if the joke. Next, he’ll be telling us
hat the school of business administra
ion publishes Lemmy and dispenses 1
Tniversity education at so much per
iccounts payable.
■ • •
Now that I have jarred the Cynic l
'rom his kurdaitchas (if he doesn’t j
enow what these are, I might explain .
hat they are shoes shaped so that one
•annot tell in which direction the wear-;
jr haR gone), he has admitted that he
s a candidate for something. I do not!
vish to claim any undue glory, but I
night point out that I was the first
mo to discover that E. J. H. had po
litical ambitions.
Now he has announced his chameleon
platform. Like most platforms, it is
garlanded with golden pomegranates,
verbosity, Rnd utter rot—to be blown
willy-nilly by the first breeze of op
position. Therefore, in order to make
clear my own stand, I promise to do
the following when you elect me:
1. To make the wearing of golf sox
on the campus punishable by hanging,
or such penalty as a court martial may
direct.
2. To banish to Siberia or O. A. C.,
all candidates who go about shaking
hands before election time.
This, then, is my platform. I am
saving my other planks in order to
avoid stumbling over them in my pur
suit of votes. That is the conventional
way of doing business. Perhaps T
have taken a radical stand on golf sox
and other feminine lingerie. Perhaps
my heavy-brained antagonist sanctions,
or even wears, the dear, cute things.
Tf he does, the public should know the
terrible truth.

FTER the big game, if you don’t need a box of voice
/I lozenges there’• something wrong. A hoarse voice is
evidence that you were covering your position on the bleachers.
The harder the game the harder it ought to be to talk
afterwards. Your “Ataboy” and “Line it out” buck up a
fagged nine—and so your shouts give you the right to rejoice
in the victory, because they helped win it.
This spectacle of a grandstand full of men fighting for
their team is one aspect of a very splendid sentiment—
college spirit.
When you show college spirit you are doing a fine thing
for your college, a fine thing for the men around you, but a
finer thing for yourself. You are developing a quality which,
if carried into the business world, will help you to success.
The same spirit which keeps you cheering through a rainy
afternoon will in after life keep you up all night to put
through a rush job for the boss.
The same spirit which makes you stand by your teams
through thick and thin will find you loyal to your shop or
office, always ready with a shoulder to the wheel—even it'it
isn’t your own particular wheel—giving suggestion and active
help and a word of good cheer, once again earning your
right to rejoice in the victory.
