Traditions Live On
Seniors, having been on the campus longer than any other class,
are more likely to appreciate traditions. 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.

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.

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.

ELSIE FERGUSON COMING
A theatrical announcement that
should awaken the interest of every
local playgoer is the one stating that
Miss Elsie Ferguson, in person, will
appear at the Heilig Tuesday, April
24th, following her two week’s engage
ment at the Columbia theatre, San
Francisco. 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.
SENIOR TO ENTER CIVIL SERVICE
