Robert Wilson Gilbert ’T'HE CAMPUS mourns with Dr. and Mrs. James H. Gilbert ^ the loss of their billy son, Robert Wilson, who died yester Jay at the age of eleven months. Students will miss the fa miliar figure of “Jimmy” Gilbert taking the little lad out for airings on Sundays. Words are futile to express what is in the heart at certain times—they can only be said. “No Smoking!” Still Tradition SOMETIME ago the president of the student body appointed ^ a committee to investigate the traditions of Oregon and tc draw up a report of its findings for submission to the studenl council. The idea hack of forming such a body grew from the fact that the University has obviously changed since the found ing of a number of present traditions, and conditions no longer favor their continuance. The committee was charged to consider all the existing tra ditions and in its report, to be read at the first meeting of tin council this term, recommend perpetuation of only those be lieved valuable and worth-while in maintaining proper collegi ate atmosphere at the University of Oregon. Recently one rather large section of the student body ap pears to consider that in the interim all necessity of observing one of Oregon’s strongest traditions has disappeared. This ii the hitherto almost unanimously approved custom of refraining from smoking on the campus, the limits of which are too wel known, or should be, to need listing here. Sufficient is it t< say that the court, or inclosure, surrounded by the Art building comes within those bounds. An officer of the student body, upon informing a group ol students recently that they were breaking this tradition bj smoking in the patio- was answered by the taunt, “Let’s se< you stop us.” Until the tradition committee reports, the custom of no smoking on the campus still holds, and the discourteous re sponse should be answered in turn by the student body author ity vested with the power of enforcing Oregon’s traditions bi taking measures to prevent, or punish, any further infractions Senior Women At Bat J^JEDITATING upon the extent to which we are surrounded by traditions one is inclined to find a real use for the event known as Senior Leap Week now in full flower as a cus tom on the Oregon campus. Useful is it at least to the “elderly” co-ed who found the 366 days of the year just past an insufficient number in which to ambush a desirable member of the opposite sex. George Bernard Shaw, in one of his bitter moments of bachelorhood, wrote, “The pretence that women do not take the initiative is part of a farce. Why, the whole world is strewn with snares, traps’ gins ami pitfalls for the capture of men by women ... It is assumed that the woman must wait, motion less until she is woed. Nay, she often does wait motionless. That is how the spider catches the fly.” “Senior men. take warning from G. B. S.!” might be the advice of many older heads, even though a considerable number believe this sour condemnation of Woman was written by Eng land’s Cynic during Leap Year when the ladies persistently passed him by. Better, Senior males should make themselves desirable to the women of their class rather than sitting idle, as the fair group will be far from motionless in pursuit of the choicest game. The “Sombrero Herd,” for the most part, will no dovibt do much for the sake of being noticed. Some will grow spry and climb fences and stumble over their own feet; some, who imagine themselves the proud possessor of a voice’ will exercise it; others will he heard whistling out of tune, or twirling shad owy mustaches. Other signs of self-advertisement resorted to by bolder Seniors might be advance notices printed on highly scented and delicately toned paper heralding the gentleman “in question” as a pleasant companion, an ideal lover, ami a generous being willing to return in kind any favor bestowed upon him. A woman could do worse than lavish her attention and all of her “spot cash money” on a hero such as this. Beginning last night, then, the Senior Women have descend-; ed from their pedestal for three short days and will assume the | role escort, guide and teacher. Yes. the women are invading, all the professions known to man in this age of equal rights and ! nnequal privileges. Perhaps the great poet who wrote, “Woman is everlastliuglv leading us on,” had some justification—after all. Campus Bulletin Notice* *D be printed in dab Mtan for two bene* only.

It must be understood that the editor reserves the right to reject communications. l To the Editor: Comes now the august editorial column of Old Oregon, proclaiming to the world and to the graduates of the University in particular that “unsanctioned” rallies in celebra tion o-f athletic events are a thing of the past at the University of Oregon. Quite right. The honorable contemporary of the Emerald also states that “the student council has presented to the faculty and has had endorsed by them resolutions which forbid unreasonable rallies and permit Something New in Bead Clasps Topaz, Emerald, Pearl and Sterling Silver Safety Bead Clasps $1.00 up Hoffman, Jeweler 798 Willamette Get the Classified Ad habit I COMING EVENTS ,!

How ever: “The University of Oregon stu dents are tired of the outlaw rally (referring to unauthorized rallies.) They have decided that it is child ish; many of them are genuinely irritated with repeated and often artificial ebullitions of enthusiasm . . . Paternal dictation is unnec essary.” There is a note of conscious pride in this assertion to the graduates of the institution—now venerable business men and women; staid citizens who would probably look with disfavor upon enthusiastic interruptions to scholastic routine. Paternal dictation to bumptious un dergraduates is no longer neces sary; the milennium of student self-control and propriety ‘is reached! What a commendable—one is forced to say—what a very com mendable form of press-agenting. And what a queer 'twisting of facts. After the faculty of the University has regarded a certain thing as a thorn in its side, and has, after long suffered acceptance of the thorn, finally decided to | legislate against it, the student j council hastily steps in and does the legislation—obviously to save its face—what a kindness on the part of the alumni publication to assign the credit to the students. As a member of the student body the writer thanks Old Oregon for his share of the glory. L. B. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Phi Kappa Psi announces the I pledging of Mark Sanderson of Eu gene.

Architects are designing in masses — the great silhouette, the profile of the building has become of far greater importance than its detail. There is a new vigor and rvggcdness even in buildings which are conven tionally classic in their detail. Masses mount upward, supporting the tower, accentuating its height. The new architecture is tending toward great struc tures rather than multiplicity of detail. Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization, will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.
