Ghosts of the Past
Members of the national guard in Portland objected when
they were presented with new gold uniform ornaments made
in Germany. They gathered them together and told their offi
cers that they could send them back and they would wear their
brass until some “Made in America” ornaments were procured.
The reason for such action, they said, was that the memory
of war experiences was rather too fresh to allow them to stom
ach such an affront.
We would say that the German Children’s Relief has little
chance in competition witli the unsound prejudices of our
countrymen. There are those who nurse old wounds. Perhaps
they are justified in their rejection of the ornaments. But
sanity tells us that if the German nation is to be helped to its
feet, it will not be done by boycotting its products.
Keeping the Real Value
BE_L J
To the editor’s desk has come a note from a freshman saying
he was paddled Thursday at the library steps, charged with
saying, “To hell with Oregon traditions.” lie denies the charge
and intimates that lettermen paddlcrs are careless in fixing
the reasons for freshmen punishment.
The propriety of the paddling session has sometimes been
questioned. There is doubtless some good in the proceedings
inasmuch as underclassmen are reminded of breaches of tra
dition.
More benefit can be gained, however, if more of the spirit
of correction and less of the spirit of horseplay is evinced.
Only freshmen who have committed a definite wrong against
the student body should be punished. To paddle a man “just
for instance” can be of no benefit to him or to anyone else.
The paddling session, if well handled, can be a valuable
addition to student discipline.
They Talk Too Much
The University is making a worthwhile attempt to make
the weekly assembly programs vital and interesting. The great
leaders of our state and nation come from time to time to dis
cuss the problems of the day.
A most irritating occurrence is to hear a student or faculty
member who has been granted the courtesy of making an an
nouncement take advantage of his opportunity to harrangue
the student body as to the virtues of his cause longer than the
subject justifies.
Announcements may be a necessary part of our program.
Not as necessary however as before the Emerald announcement
column became a real part of campus life.
Announcements, if short, can be tolerated, but “sermons”
most certainly are not wanted. The repeated appearance of
certain of long-winded “assembly pests” has caused no small
amount of unfavorable comment on the campus this year.
Speakers have benn forced to limit valuable talks to an absurd
degree at times simply because of the lack of consideration on
the part of announcers.
Perhaps it would be advisable to eliminate announcements
entirely or have them handed in to the chairman, who could
condense them. Announcements from the floor are usually re
petitions of what has appeared in the student daily or what
could appear there if the announcer had less desire to make
himself prominent.
Talks at student body meetings are a different matter.
Such meetings are the correct place for oral discussion.
Let’s stop spoiling the effect of the weekly assembly gath
ering by banning or limiting announcements.
‘ : / . . __
d’he seniors have evidently won their dispute of yesterday
with the campus lawyers or “notary publics’’ as they have
been facetiously called. Men of the class of ’24 obtained a
ruling from Dr. “Jimmy” Gilbert, one of the fathers of Ore
gon tradition, to the effect that the Hello book’s designation of
the senior right to carry canes is constitutional. Reports that
any campus citizen, having anything less than a senior standing,
will be dealt with by senior cops, seems to be well authenticated.

STALK NEWS
To the Editor:
How often have you stopped at the
bulletin board in one of the build
ings on the campus to read the latest
announcement, and discovered when
you had read two-thirds way through
it that it was two weeks old? Quite
| likely just that number of times you
i have been tempted to tear the bulle
i tin off and throw it away, or else
i resolve not to waste any more time
in the future by stopping to read
bulletin hoards.
Stale bulletins indicate laxity on
the part of those who post them,
a carelessness similar to that of the
merchant who keeps a display Jof
goods in his show window long af
ter the season for that kind of goods
has passed. Why do not those who
post bulletins remove them as soon!
as possible after their period of use
fulness is over?
Furthermore, why should public
bulletin boards bo used for private
communication, for uncovered notes,
the contents of which are intelligi
ble only to the sender and the re- j
ceiver? Let us keep our bulletin
boards dean. Let us give them a
chance to fulfill the purpose for
which they were erected.
Senior
Editor of the Emerald:
Yesterday T was paddled at the |
library steps for having said “to
bell with Oregon traditions.” I
wish to deny this absolutely and un- !
qualifiedlv. T am just as loyal to [
Oregon traditions as any other stu
dent. T didn’t wear my green eap
a few times but this wasn’t even
mentioned in the charges against me.
T took my paddling as any good
frosh should for T believe in being a
good sport but T did not make the
above statement.

FROSH PROMISE NOVEL
DECORATIONS AT GLEE
Some Newcomers. Believe Affair
Musical Entertainment; Date
Set For February 1
There seems to be a thought in
the minds of some of the new
comers on the campus and also in
the minds of a few freshmen that
the Frosh Glee, to be held Febru
ary 1, is to be a musical entertain
ment in which singing is featured,
says Bob Love, chairman of the
affair.
The Frosh Glee is a dance and
the music is to be furnished by an
eight-piece orchestra, which the
music committee plans to arrange
in a position that should over- 1
come the poor acoustics at the
armory and make the music louder.
The glee will be free to all Uni
versity students and will be in
formal for the men.
Some really new, distinctive, and
appropriate decorations and fea
tures will be used this year, al
though the committee in charge will
not disclose their nature. It is
promised, however, that the decora
tions will long bo remembered.
A new committee has recently
been appointed by Love to be
known as the properties committee.
The members of this committee aTe
to have charge of all fixtures and
furniture, and they are to take
charge of the decorations after the
dance. Laird McCormick is chair
man of this committee and he will
be assisted by Harold Brumfield,
Rowland Compton, Ted Wagenblast
and Larry Riddle.

Traditions Adopted
Obak Men Will Wear
Ties and Shoes Now
Following the prevailing inclina
tion to adopt new traditions and fan
tastic dress costumes the majors of
Obak's Kollege voted last night to
continue their well known and con
venional use of neck ties and shoes.
The sentiment was strongly in fa
' vor of this plan. Many of the mem
bers agreed that the plan was not
overly original, but they pointed out
that most of these new stunts being
tried by the various groups are not
so beastly new. “It is the custom
and not the precedent that counts,”
remarked one well known man.
The neck ties that will be used
by Obak majors are of various types;
there will be the bow of vivid hue,
the four-in-hand of moderate tone,
etc., but all of the ties will be ex
pressive of the individuals that wear
them. Shoes too, will be assorted
and will range in nature from the
light oxford to the more aclimated
boot.
It was voted to use shoes at all
times, but the wearing of ties will be
left to the discretion of the partic
ular person.
It was also agreed by #be assem
bly that pipes, uigarettes and cigars
are expressive of character, and the
most satisfactory expression of this
will be found in the brands at
Obak’s. Following the meeting the
men were entertained by a banquet
'at the snow white lunch counter and
the evening’s entertainment consis
ted of pool and billiards at the Kol
lege Klnb Kooms.

OLLUM
By K. Nite
Sometimes we think that all there
is the matter with the world and this
school and everything else is just the
people that are in it, then other times
we are less optimistic.
*
The senior class voted to have
a play the other night; it should be
good, they have rehearsed playing
around here for almost four years.
The Krier said last week that men
were flocking here to avoid the in
sistent women who were over anx
ious in their leap year attempts.
Since that time some of the men that
we were harboring went up to the
senior class meeting and cried their
eyes out because the women haven’t
been asking them for dates. We
give up.
After all there are only about
three things that will contribute the
perpetual satisfaction of men: com
fort, eats, and smokes. Obak has
been furnishing these requirements
to the masculine element since the
age when Kincaid field was consid
ered quite the stuff in athletic
equipment.
Well, wonder what ones of us will
flunk out this term?
