Hats Off!
With the organization of a new honor society every few weeks, the
Women’s Emerald recommends the organization of an embryo group
to be called the Oregon Hat Tippers for reason that the men who doff
their hats to college women are so exclusive and in such minority that
they might derive pleasure from intimate association. Surely there
is an opening for such a venture and it might prove an inspiration
to some of the less courteous men who seemingly find such incon
veniences in reaching for their head gear.
Many and varied have been the complaints which have been
printed concerning the neglectful part women have played in keeping
up the “Hello” tradition of Oregon. But how many women have
started the year courageously helloing every man who bore the least
semblance to a college student, and have received in return perhaps
a gruff hello, but seldom the respectful doffing of the hat. It is in
sulting to the self-respecting woman, and should not be tolerated in
a University for it is not typical of University men, who shold evince
at all times refinement of manner, courtesy, ease of bearing and
politeness. The liabit of ignoring this courtesy is most prevalent
among the freshman. Perhaps they think the women cannot see the
green “postage stamps” on top of their heads, but manners are man
ners. Politeness may often be impractical and inconvenient, but
like virtue, it has its own rewards. Nothing could be more efficacious
in character building than the cultivation of good manners. In fact
there are several points in favor of hat tipping if one stops to con
sider them.
One method of hat tipping so prevalent these days may be ana
lyzed as a mere salute, plainly a relic of war days. How much a man
misses in self-expression when he allows himself to adopt a careless
habit! The art of hat lifting may be a difficult thing to master, but
its manner gesture, style and swing truly show the man.
Women have not been as gracious in accepting the common cour
tesies of men in the past as they might have been, and if it meant the
dropping of some of the more thoughtful politeness the blame might
not fall upon tin1 man. Bobbed hair, women’s suffrage, co-education,
all these have tended to place woman on a more equal footing with
man, and perhaps have made him careless of tin' courtesies without
which life would be barbaric and unlivable. Women have a task
before them in keeping tin1 morals and manners of the nation upon
a high plane, which is in no way an easy one since the lax influence
of the war. But Oregon men are carrying it a bit too far when they
offer no more respect to the co-ed than a careless nod.
An Educational Renaissance
“Signs are not wanting,” writes II. ('. Morrison oF the University
of Chicago,” that the field of higher edueation is beginning to be
stirred by eoneern for the intelleetnal interests of students.” Knelt
signs have been apparent on the University of Oregon campus through
the determined effort of the faculty to raise the standards of scholar
ship, and through the cooperative spirit evinced by the student bodvi
in such things as the organization of honor groups, the growing con
cern for the advancement of gifted students, and the present attempt ■
to make a survey of the different schools of the University a part of
Junior Week-end as much as participation in the various social events.
The criticism has been made from time to time, by the critics of
cultural education, that the college of liberal arts fails to justify its!
existence in that it fails to develop students who are devoted to the
scholarly life. Hut in the face of such criticism on the University cam-|
pus there are organiations with no other motive than intellectual
enjoyment which meet regularly and spontaneously. Students give
their time and thought for a return which is in the main scholastic.
Stimulating premiums on scholastic achievement are offered to
the students in various novel forms which man be cited as another
sign of real intellectual interest among the students. Scroll and
Script has just pledged four upperclass women who are recognized
because of their scholastic standing. The Honor society of the Uni
versity will soon pledge other men and women who have shown
marked ability throughout their college career. Such honors are
indicative of the interest taken in educational affairs by the students.
“The American people are reading enormously even if they are
not reading the classics. They are reading the occupational books
and fiction, social science and history; they are reading the news
papers and magazines in carload lots. Incidentally they are doing
multitudinous things that our fathers and grandfathers did not do,
but which they doubtless would have done had they had the chance.”
If our campus may be taken as an example, students are taking ad
vantage1 of their opportunity and reading not only modern books,
but classics, books from every known field of literature. When
in a class of twenty students the instructor finds some member of
the group familiar with almost every book mentioned, whether seien
tofic or fiction, there must be a growing tendency toward a broader
educational knowledge. Not only in the class room, but on the cam
pus and in living organizations books are becoming more and more
a part of the1 conversation among students. Such signs on the Uni
versity of Oregon campus would lead us to belive that there is an in
creasing number of students who are “devoted to the scholarly life.”
Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary society for women in jour
nalism, extends its most cordial greetings to you high school visitors
on the campus this week end. Many of you will come back next fall
as freshmen and the University will be yours. You represent the
finest young men and women of the state and we shall feel perfectly
safe in trusting to your care the traditions and institutions of this
great University.

Now there are those who hibernate,
we never know just what they rate.

So how are we supposed to know! No
doubt they’re clever, maybe wise. But
there are such a host of guys who keep
us posted on the facts that we forget
the shy birds’ knacks. I’ll tell you
what, in this new day, if one would
pass off as o. k., he first must learn,
while he is young, to advertise with
nimble tongue. -i,
For instance, there’s that strutting
cock, no neighboring fowl would dare
to mock. And yet for sure we’d never
know that he’s the first in all our
row to rise and leave his feathered
nest, unless he came before the rest
out in the morning with stubborn grit
and loud and long crowed over it.

1 Orchestra Concert
It was a hullabaloo of a splash in
which robust base drums vied with
husky cellos when the University or
chestra dove, into the turbulent waters
of sound vibrations last night in Vil
lard hall. Opening with “Bill Mc
Bride's Last Fling,” a stupendous and
dramatic catastrophe, the throttle was
immediately released and motion full
swung was tobogganed to a dizzy cli
max and there balanced for a breath
less and wistful three-quarters of an
hour before it was allowed to duck
down to the finale, where the last
strains were swallowed up but with a
shimmer of brass.
Maybe this is not according to Jack
Oempsey or Dante. But isn’t there
such a thing as expressing ono’s selff
In striking contrast came the second
number, “Nick Carter’s Moonbeams,”
a complacent thing, almost priggish in
spots, yet nevertheless spirited. Com
pleting the program wore: “Abbott’s
Horn,” a spectacular blow-out;
“Lamb’s Tales and King’s Dark
Horse” by MacGregor, which savored
of combat, and “Spring Floods,” a
Junior Week-end specialty.
To prove this review is authentic,
that the reviewer was present to the
near-end of the concert, and that he
did not simply rely on his imagination,
we cite this incident of the thirteenth
inning of basses and trombones when
President Campbell arose and walked
out in his sleep.
