Feed It or Kill It!
JN BANTA’S Greek Exchange for January of this year is an
item from the campus of Oklahoma University. It relates
with interest to what it calls a “curious” custom, traditional
at that institution. Following is quoted a part of the item:
“ ‘Howdy.’
“ ‘Howdy.’
“Perfect strangers they were. No one had ever
introduced them to each other; indeed, they had never
seen each other before, but that didn’t matter at all, for
both were ‘Sooners’ and that friendly, casual greeting
is a tradition on the Oklahoma University campus. . . .
“It was started when Oklahoma University was an
insignificant little college of a few hundred and lives on
now, though thousands of students pass each other every
day. . . .
“Visitors from other universities notice the
‘Howdy’ custom first of all, and their comments are en
thusiastic. ‘Why, in my school no one ever greets another
unless they arc well acquainted,’ says one. ‘Here every
one hails you. This certainly is a friendly school.’ ”
It was not so long ago that Oregon had a somewhat similar
custom, although the term of address was slightly different.
In fact, it is not past the memory of the present seniors tore
member when freshmen felt obliged to learn the friendly greet
ing of Oregon, and when a smile and a cheery “Hello” when
students met was not a startling event.
Listen now while walking along “Hello Lane.” Try saying
“Hello” to a passing frosh, a sophomore, or an upperclassman
for that matter. Such greeting is as apt to be met with a sur
prised grunt as an answering hail.
A tradition committee has been appointed to decide on the
merits of various customs on the Oregon campus. One of its
first duties should be consideration of the traditional Oregon
“Hello,” so often mentioned with pride by former students as
an indication of the democratic spirit of the student body.
If the tradition is worth keeping, as the Emerald believes it
to be, the committee must make provisions for instilling it with
fresh blood and giving it a new start toward a sturdy existence.
If it is not worth keeping, as many appear to believe, it should
not be allowed to die the slow death of malnutrition, but should
be declared anaemic and unfit, and an order issued for its
execution.
I
Last term thero was (among others) one assembly when the
hall was parked with an audience whose major occupation was
none other than attention to the scheduled program. Such in
terest was caused by the listeners’real delight in the concert
given by l’hi Mu Alpha, men’s music fraternity. Today, there
is every reason to expect another assembly hour no less pleas
ing. Mu l’hi Epsilon, women's music fraternity, will hold the
center of the stage, and the period will be devoted to its annual
program given before the student body.
The Emerald, in an attempt to stir interest in several fields
in addition to the regular news of the campus, has started a
number of weekly feature departments. Students and faculty
members are reminded that contributions to any of these
columns will be welcomed by the editors. Pull credit will be
given the writer. Articles may be left in the contribution box
at the University library, or at the editor’s office.
The University lost and found department is scratching its
head over the ever-growing collection of fountain pens, over-1
coats, umbrellas, scarfs, ]{. 0. T. t‘. caps, rubbers, galoshes, and
other evidences of careless ownership under its care at the cam
pus depot. Why not hold an auction sale and turn the money
over to the student loan fund?

HEALTH SEBVICE EXPLAINED
Editor of Emerald:
Dear Sir:
It seems desirable on account of
misinformation to state certain of
the politics of the University
Health Service which obtain dur
ing the present college year, 1924
25.
Operations:
1. The Health Service can assume
no responsibility for maladies
antidating entrance to the Uni
versity.
2. When any case becomes acute
and of major operative import
ance, the student may call into
consultation any physician he de
sires.
3. Tf the patient chooses to remain
in the Infirmary, the Health Ser
vice staff assumes the care of
the case and the patient is re
sponsible for the consultant fee.
4. If the patient wishes the con
sulting physician to take charge,
he then must be removed from
the Infirmary, an act which can
cels automatically the obligation
of the Health Service.
5. All cases of major surgical im
portance may avail themselves of
post-operative care in the Infirm
ary, subject to the discretion of
the department, provided that
the Health Service is called into
consultation and that some mem
ber of the Health Service staff is
in attendance at the operation.
6. The Health Service assumes no
financial responsibility in any
operative work whatsoever.
In non-operative cases physicians
may send their student patients to
the Infirmary under the following
conditions:
1. The patient must be referred to
the Heath Service staff before
entrance to the Infirmary.
2. The outside physician may retain
a consultant relationship to the
case.

What
THE DANGER LINE
means to you
If you will look in a mirror, you will see a
tiny V-shaped crevice around each tooth
where it joins the gums. This is The Danger
Line. Food particles lodge there and ferment,
forming acids which lead to Acid Decay. The
gums also suffer from the effect of these acids,
becoming irritated and sore—perhaps reced
ing from the teeth. Then you have conditions
favorable to Pyorrhea.
Serious diseases often result from infection
due to Acid Decay at The Danger Line.
Heart and kidney trouble and rheumatism
are among them.
Make The Danger Line safe
Squibb’s Dental Cream, because it is made
with Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia, protects
against Acid Decay, relieves conditions favor
able to Pyorrhea, cleans and polishes beauti
fully and protects for houis after use. For
Milk of Magnesia has long been recognized
throughout the dental profession as a safe,
scientific means of counteracting acids danger
ous to the teeth and gums.
Buy Squibb’s Dental Cream, made with
Squibb’s Mill; of Magnesia —today. It is de
lightful to use. It is free from abrasives and
injurious astringents. It makes The Danger
Line safe.

for your continued co-operation in
