Time honored customs mean little to the incoming freshmen and it is only after three or four years that most students begin to realize the seriousness of cutting and slashing and changing. It is therefore particularly significant that the class of 1923 has protested against the proposal to eliminate Cam pus Day from the program of Junior Week-end. A tradition is, by definition, something which cannot be changed overnight. It must be built up over a period of years and it cannot be dropped by arbitrary action. If it becomes unsuited to new condi tions, it will either be adjusted, or it will die a natural death. Tra ditions. cannot be controlled by class committees. They must be judged by a more representative group. It would not be unwise to consult representatives of the alumni in case of a proposed change. It is right that the proposal to change Campus Day should be referred to the student council, which is representative of the whole campus. And, as the seniors have pointed out, there might be no reason for disbanding classes for a day without the customary clean up. University Day began when students decided that improvement of the campus should supplant studies for one day—when there was no thought of using the day to entertain preppers or to prepare for the Junior Prom. Time has demonstrated that Campus Day is more valuable for the feeling of democracy it promotes than for the actual work accomplished. Junior Week-end might well be shortened one day if the clean-up is to be set ahead a week. The opinion of the seniors may be taken as an expression of the sentiment of the alumni and the school. Campus Day is one of Ore-1 gon’s most cherished traditions. Whether the Junior class commit-j tee wills or not, it is not dead. It may be killed by arbitrary action,! but the tradition will live until it is effaced from the memory of every graduate. __ I In reporting developments in student politics during the next three weeks the Emerald will endeavor to be absolutely impartial. No rumors will be printed and no editorial opinion on any candidate will be expressed. Where there is a question of order candidates will be named alphabetically. Students wishing to use the Emerald to an nounce candidacies may do so. CLEANUP CAMPAIGN HAS EFFECT ON LANDSCAPE Houses Improving Lawns; City Beauti ful Plan Four Years Old Starts Through Efforts of Prof. DeCou Morr ehn trees added to the row on Kineuid street from the Mill race to the Co op, the lawn the Sigma Ohis are making, the Plii Delts’ landscape gardening, and the work of the A. T. O. boys are doing to improve their grounds are all included as part of the Univer sity's share in Kugene’s annual clean up week. Other houses are also work ing to improve the appearance of their grounds and the Eugene Bible University has recently planted around their music building, power plant, and gymnasium, much ivy, some shrubs, and many roses, all furnished by the University through the cooperation of H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds. The "city beautiful’' campaign dur 1 ing cleanup week was started four years ago, largely through the efforts of Prof. K. E. DeCou, who has been very much interested in movements of this kind. The campaign is carried on by the Federation of Women’s clubs, composed of Ilf) organizations and over 1000 women, in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce auxiliary, Kiwnnis, Parent Teacher's association and other organi zations. 'Die committee representing the University in the work is composed l of John MacGregor, Professor DeCou, and ilr. Fisher, appointed by Mrs, L. E. Bean, who is president of the Federa tion of women's organizations. The row of elm trees was started three years ago through the efforts of University workers with Professor DeCou at the head. The University j has also furnished vines and roses for the postoffiee, the vines for the V. M. C. A., the city hall, aud the library, and | Mr. Fisher has made arrangements this' year to furnish shrubs and vines for flip court house, “There haven’t been as many plants to give out this year as usual, but by being careful there have been very few persons disappointed,” said Air. Fisher. ABOLITION OF MILITARY CREDIT IS ADVOCATED Faculty Will Discuss Measure at Next Meeting; University Credit Given for Past Five Years Notice of motion is given by the faculty that at the May meeting the abolition of the miliary credits com mittee will be considered and this will mean that no further credit will be granted to ex service men for educa tional work done while they were en gaged in the war. For five years since the war a faculty committee has been in charge of appraising the work of enlisted men who took courses while they were in active service and Univer sity credit lots been granted in a great many cases for this type of work. Since it is believed that this pro vision has served its time and that hereafter men are not entitled to fur ther credit from the University on the basis of the length of time that has been allowed them so far the measure which the faculty will be asked to vote upon will include provision for the abolition of the committee and will de cide whether or not application for credit will be in order after June 1, 19“;>. Members of the committee are Professor H. 0. Howe, Dean Kric Al len and Ur. W. 1'. Boynton. Exclusive College Dance-—Dreamland Sat. Night.

A FRIENDLY CHALLENGE To the Editor: In scanning over last Sunday’s Emer ald edition, I was rather surprised and possibly amused over the “Ave Caesar, | Moraturi Salutamus” article, and must say that our friend who is the author of said article seems to have a poor im pression of American movie producers in general and one in particular, namely William Fox, and also this impression carries through in regards to his latest production, “Nero,” which was critized before being seen. Will our friend kindly remember that “A Connecticut Yankee,” “Over the Hill” and “Monte Cristo” are considered three of the greatest pictures of all times, all products of Fox. But suffice it to say that no other producer had the “stuff” to dig deep down in their hard cash to the extent of a couple of million, shoot a company to Europe, there to construct sets and scenes on a magnitude never before known, employ armies of people, all for the definite pur pose of giving to the world a visual ex pression of life during the reign of his tory’s most famous emperor. The party is on me old top, come down today, we ’ll shake hands, go in and make ourselves comfortable and watch “Nero” do his wicked stuff, after which perhaps we might be favored with a short com ment in these columns. We heard your opinion before seeing the picture and will be eager to hear it after. We know you are game. HEILIG PUBLICITY MANAGER.

Miss Ferguson is considered our foremost dramatic actress, and the fact that she is coming here in a Lon don success of last year, “The Wheel of Life,” supported by the original American company, means we are to see an offering of the very highest type.
