No Hazing Here
Hazing has been a thing of the past as far as Oregon is con
cerned for a number of years. Class spirit is displayed with charac
teristic sanity and wisdom, and there is probably no danger of a
tragedy such as recently occurred at Northwestern. Nevertheless the
incident in which an undergraduate lost his life in a class fight will
hurt colleges everywhere.
It is plainly the duty of Oregon students to see that the state real
izes that the University does not indulge in any form of hazing. To
the outsider, mixes and tugs-of-war may be misunderstood, whereas
in reality there is no danger if they are properly regulated. Students
can do a great deal of harm by exaggerating and by giving the wrong
impressions to people who do not know the facts. And there is no
reason to believe that anyone could criticise the way Oregon has con
ducted her customary contests,in the past few years. The University
would be a dull place were it not for spirit and* rivalry between
classes and organizations. It is desirable that the rivalry be kept on
such a basis that it may be beneficial.
Class leaders should take cognizance of the wave of criticism
which will follow the Northwestern episode. They should be sure
that those who work under them do not overstep the rules in a mo
ment of authority, and that a spirit of sportsmanship pervade con
tests between classes. Recurrence of an incident such as the tug-of
war when the present seniors were freshmen would be unfortunate.
The main thing i» to let the state understand that Oregon does
not tolerate hazing. Students should be very careful to explain
events which might be misleading on the surface. If this is done the
University may not suffer as a result of the affair at Evanston,
Illinois.
Dartmouth’s Higher Standards
“Thunderous roars of protest from Dartmouth undergraduates
greeted the recent institution, by President Hopkins, of a decided
increase in the scholastic requirements at that institution. This move
though distasteful to tffe students, has elicited only praise from the
alumni,” says a recent article in the Cornell Daily Sun.
Those who have been watching the recent tightening of standards
at the University of Oregon will be interested to see the results at
Dartmouth. Particularly interesting is a communication of one re
cent Dartmouth graduate, reprinted in the undergraduate daily.
1 he writer finds that “men just out of college are gnashing their
teeth at their own recent folly. The keen, informed, knowing man is
given first recognition. A degree of excellence is asked that is ap
palling to recent college graduates. There can be no excuse given:
either a man speeds up, or he drops out, to trot with other men who
too were wasteful of their opportunity.
“President Hopkins is not trying to turn out a group of bespec
tacled specialists; he is trying to persuade men that the pace is swift.
The best undergraduates are those who see that the professional
prizes, the financial prizes, the intellectual prizes, are to the
swift.”

Educational Value?
Junior Week-end should be an educational opportunity for high
school students. It should be a time when they could inspect the edu
cational facilities of the University with a view to possible entrance.
If high school teachers and principals refuse to excuse their students,
as some have done, it is an indication that in their minds we are fail
ing in our purpose. Perhaps we are going about it in the wrong way!
A chance for reflection! Wise persons carry mirrors and are not
afraid to use them.

Contributed Editorials
This week-end the preppers of the
state will be our guests. They are com
ing, not only for a good time, but to
judge the University and find out what
it holds in store for them. What they
see and hear during their sojourn here
will influence them greatly when they
make their selection of an institution
of higher learning.
The old idea, that college was a place
to go and have a good time has passed.
The serious problems of life have en
tered the mind of the student and he
finds that life is made rosy only by
good consistent work. Good times
still form an important part in the life
of the college student, but they are
secondary to the intellectual life for
which ho comes to college.
Oregon wants the best students—stu
dents that will aspire to her higher
standards of education. That is what
Junior Week-end is for, to give the stu
dent an insight into what he must pre
pare for. It gives him a chance to se
lect.
When these preppers come down here
they may allow the intellectual side to
slip down out of sight behind the gai
ety of the occasion. As students of
the school we love and cherish and
which we wish to see grow, let us pre
vent this from happening. It would be
a gross error if we were to allow them
to depart, thinking that Oregon was
just one good time after another.
There are ways in which we can show
them the educational advantages of the
University without spoiling the joy of
theii; stay with us. The problem can be
circumvented in a subtle manner and
the college student with a love for the
ideals and traditions of the school can
find a way to get around the obstacle.

“THE TENTS OF ALLAH,” HEILIG
Monte Blue and Mary Alden are
starred in a stirring tale of romance,
adventure and intrigue in “The Tents
of Allah,” the Encore Picture show
ing Thursday, Friday and Saturday at
the Heilig Theatre. Monte Blue is Cliid
dar Ben-Ek, a bandit—feared by his
own tribe of robbers and hated by the
Sultan of Morocco. Then the United
States Government demands “Chiddar
Ben-Ek dead, or Elaine Calvert alive!”
For Chiddar, the fearless, holds Elaine
Calvert a prisoner in the tents of Al
lah on the burning desert sands.
JUNE 11 OPENING DAY
OF SUMMER SCHOOL
19th Session Will Bring Pro
fessors from Distance
The nineteenth annual summer session
of the University will begin in Eugene
immediately after commencement, and
continue for six weeks, from June 27 to
August 4. Emphasis will, be placed upon
courses of specialized, advanced and grad
uate character and a student may carry
the amount of work necessary to earn
nine term hours of credit during the six
weeks session.
If the demand is sufficient, there will
be, in addition to the courses already an
nounced in science, two courses in zool
ogy. One is a laboratory course in em
bryology and the other a lecture course
in heredity by Dr. Harry B. Yocom.
Most of the staff of regular professors
and teachers will remain, but vacancies
will be filled by instructors from other
colleges. Some of the prominent visit
ing instructors who will be here for the
summer session are Dr. Charles Hunting
ton Whitman, professor of English, Rut
gers College; Dr. Joseph Schaefer, sup
erintendent Wisconsin Historical society;
Ethel Sawyer, director of training
courses, Portland Public Library; Dr. O.
J. Johnson, St. Paul School of Psycho
logy; Dr. Charles Wendell David, pro
fessor of History, Bryn Mawr College;
Dr. William Cooper, superintendent of
Fresno, California schools.
many dictionaries disappear
It is not an uncommon tiling for note
books, fountain pens, eversharps, books,
and umbrellas to disappeak by the
scores on the campus, but the way that
dictionaries are droping out of sight
is amazing, says one member of the
faculty in the public speaking depart
ment. There seems to be no particular
choice of brand, for Websters go as
fast as Oxfords. It either indicates that
the desire on the part of the students
for a higher level of intelligence is in
creasing by leaps and bounds, or the
instructors have decided to use a more
fluent and difficult vocabulary, says
the observing one. At any rate, he
says that the way the students pounce
upon the worthy books, is a situation
that is arousing curiosity.
