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.

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

rallies only under the authority of
a joint committee of faculty and
students.” Also authentic. 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.

“The New Architecture”
A DISTINCTLY new tendency is apparent in architecture
thought and design today. 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.
