Shall Campus Day Be Abolished?
Campus day will no longer be a feature of Junior Week-end!
The death sentence of the famous Oregon tradition was sounded at
a recent meeting of the class committee in charge of the festivities.
No more will Oregon men rub elbows at their picks and shovels one
day a year! No more will the feeling of pride in the beauty of the
campus be stimulated by democratic toil! It is the edict of the Junior
Week-end committee of the Junior class.
Last spring a great furor was caused by the summary abolition
of the campus luncheon from the Junior Week-end program by the
class committee. After the discussion had raged for some time every
one awakened to the fact that Oregon traditions were being abolished
by a class committee and the action was reversed . The result was a
student body Traditions committee. The duties of this committee,
according to the A. S. U. 0. constitution, are “to inaugurate and
perpetuate the best traditions of the University, and to make recom
mendations concerning their findings to the student council.”
Does the discussion have to he repeated this year ? Campus day is
certainly one of Oregon’s most valued traditions, and even supposing
its demise to he desirable, the constitution provides that the action
shall go through the Traditions committee and the student council.
According to the chairman of the commitee no permission to dis
continue the campus clean-up has been granted.
The Junior committee has doubtless acted in perfect good faith.
Its action is based on the belief that the University caretakers can
accomplish more than the more or less unorganized efforts of the
students. But there is something more than the actual work done to
be considered. There is the spirit of democracy—and the spirit of
service to the University. A quotation from the editorial columns of
the Emerald a year ago is pertinent.
“Where, we ask, might the stately, senior cops with their shining
stars and likewise shining paddles display the efficiency of their
powers as the keepers of traditions without the campus day. # * * *
Oregon must not impair the effectiveness of its distinctive Junior
Week-end by emasculating the event in any detail. * * * * Here is
a tradition which has come down !o us through the years and which is
yet dear to our alumni, even as it was in the beginning.”
If the work has been poorly done in the last year or two it is the
fault of poor organization. Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, yes
terday declared that there would be plenty of work for the students
to do. There is too little feeling of obligation to the University and
anything in the way of an annual community work-day will help to
remedy conditions. Junior Week-end should not degenerate into a
mere rushing festivity for campus living organizations.
As the annual campus clean up day is a tradition the matter should
go through the hands of the Traditions committee and the student
council before it is definitely settled.
Prison Tactics or an Honor Spirit
Thoughts of examinations and recognition of the fact that every
year several students are expelled from the University for cheating
prompt an inquiry, Why not adopt an honor system? In some schools
of the University there in an honor spirit far stronger than any honor
system ever could be. Professors can give out the questions and leave
the room for the rest of the period with no thought of cheating. It
is hoped that a’spirit of that kind can be maintained throughout the
entire University.
On the other hand when a professor gives out two sets of questions,
requires that books and notes be left in the front of the room, and
otherwise employs prison tactics, there are a great many who accept
it as a challenge to cheat. An honor spirit cannot be built up in a
day. Replacement of the antiquated methods can only be accom
plished by a gradual process.
The suggestion that tennis courts be used on Sundays is not at all
unreasonable. The arguments advanced by the contributor to the
Communications Department are sound, and the Emerald suggests
that the matter be given thorough consideration.

WRESTLERS NEED TIME
J o the .helltor:
In last Saturday’s issue of the Emer
ald, the first editorial discusses the
status of wrestling in the University
of Oregon, I believe that the editor
intended to make a constructive criti
cism, but its effect has seemed to me
destructive. Such an article reflects
seriously on the wrestling coach and
the men who engage in the sport who
are trying to put wrestling where it
ought to be in this University.
Wrestling is a science which requires
a great amount of training and exper
ience, as well as individual aptitude.
Just as it requires years for a wrestler
to gain pre-eminence in the sport, so
does it require years of coaching and
experience to build up a creditable
wrestling team.
O. A. 0. and Washington have given
much more attention to wrestling than
Oregon for many years, and hence have
developed a large amount of valuable
material from which to draw in making
up their wrestling teams. In meets
with these universities, Oregon has fail
ed to make any sort of a score. It does
not follow, however, that this failure
to compete with these teams argues dis
credit to the wrestling coach or his
men. It simply means that it will take
a few years of careful coaching and
stimulation of this sport to put us on
an equal footing with the institutions
where it has always had a much larger 1
following.
1 am convinced from personal observ- j
ations that the present coach knows i
the game and has done everything in |
his power to pass that knowledge on |
to the students and to stimulate interest ■
iu this sport.
This editorial is a sign of increasing i
interest iu wrestling and if this inter- j
ost can be diverted into constructive j
channels, Oregon should be able to build ;
a wrestling team equal to that of any |
on the Coast. Yours sinoerelv,
W. K. LIVINGSTON^ M. U.
TENNIS AND BLUE LAWS
To the Editor:
Even after the announcement that
plenty of tennis courts will soon be
built, we tenuis fans have another axe
to grind with the power of the press.
Every year communications are pub
lished and sometimes brief editorial
comment is made about that most op
pressive campus blue law, no Sunday
tenuis. No action has ever been taken
because of these annual complaints but
let’s start something real this time.
If Emerald eonununications do no good
let’s try a petition.
Other athletic recreations are allow
ed on Sundaj. such as canoeing (maybe
that is amorous, though) hiking, one
ole cat, throwing of the horses’ foot
wear and Y. M. 0. A. shuffle board.
Why not tenuis?
Very few universities prohibit Suu
day tennis. Such a rule is a relic of
the days when colleges were mostly
SHORT COURSE WILL BE
GIVEN TO SECRETARIES
Constructive Program Is Plan
for Commerce Visitors
Every effort has been made to bring
men to the campus who will succeed
in presenting to the chamber of com
merce secretaries ideas that will prove
constructive in the program for state
development that is now being carried
on, according to business administra
tion officials who are completing final
arrangements for the short course
which will be held April 2-7, inclusive.
Circulars giving the main features of
the program prepared for the secretar
ies under the joint supervision of the
school of business administration and
the Oregon State Association of Com
mercial Secretaries have been mailed to
all chamber of commerce secretaries
throughout the state, and replies re
ceived by Dean E. C. Bobbins indicate
that not less than 30 secretaries will
come to take advantage of the course,
which is being offered for the third
time.
The plan of the program as outlined
is to devote most of the time to the
consideration of the subjects of tim
ber, lumber, live stock, horticulture,
land settlement and tourist travel. The
general program of state development
will be in charge of W. B. D. Dodson,
manager of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, who will be assisted by men
recognized as experts in their respec
tive fields.
A. S. Dudley, secretary-treasurer of
the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce,
is scheduled to conduct two round-table
discussions on “Best Means of Col
lecting Dues,” and “Membership Main
tenance.” Mr. Dudley is a member of'
the executive committee of the Nation
al Association of Commercial Secretar-'
ies, and is considered one of the best j
chamber of commerce men on the coast.
Ralph Casey of the school of journal
ism will lead a series of class dis
cussions on “Community News.” Mr.
Casey is not only an experienced news
paper writer, but has had experience in!
preparing community news for cham
bers of commerce.
Round table discussions will be led
by II. O. Frolibach, president of the
Oregon State Association of Commer
cial Secretaries, M. J. Duryea, Prof, i
C. D. Thorpe, and J. W. Brewer, gener
al secretary of the Oregon State Cham
ber of Commerce.
President P. L. Campbell, A. S. Dud
ley and J. H. Gilbert will each lecture
one evening during the course. Colonel
“Bill” Hanley has signified that he will
be present and will address the secre
taries.
The Eugene Chamber of Commerce,
the Rotary club and the Kiwanis are
planning a luncheon and dinner for the
visitors. Meals will be furnished at
Hendricks hall, and Mary Spiller hall
and Susan Campbell hall will provide
rooms for the secretaries, the women stay
ing at Susan Campbell hall.
THORPE GOES TO BERKELEY
Wi'l Represent Oregon at Debate
Conference in California
Prof. Clarence D. Thorpe, coach of
the University debating teams, will
leave tonight for Berkeley, California,
where he will represent Oregon at the
Pacific coast debating league confer
ence being held at the University of
California, March 24 and 25.
The league was organized last fall at
a meeting at Reed college, and at the
session this week-end the business to
be taken up will deal with the rules
of conduct for the organization. An
other problem to be considered is that
dealing with the judging system to be
used at the college debates.
Other institutions entitled to send
representatives are O. A. C., Stanford,
Reed, Whitman, Washington State, and
the Universites of California and Sou
thern California.
“DRIVEN” AT THE HEILIG
An artistic triumph for both players
and director is “Driven,” the Charles
Brabin - Universal - Jewel productiin,
which is showing today, Friday and
Saturday at the Heilig theater. It is a
study in primitive emotions, a story of’
life as it actually is lived in the heart
of the Blue Ridge mountains.
The action revolves around the sac-;
rifices by a Spartan mountain mother
of her husband and three oldest sons
in order to bring peace and happiness
to the youngest, a child that has been
born into this brutal family through
some strange error of fate.
seminaries. Some universities, while
prohibiting tennis during church hours,
9 to 12 on Sunday mornings allow it
the rest of the day. Even that is better
than our obnoxious and enervating
Blue Law.
Rally round, tennis devotees, and
we ’ll do something for the ultimate
good of the University.
