PROF. A. R. SWEETSER
TO SPEAK IN ASTORIA
Professor A. R. Sweetser spoke
before the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the
Commercial club Wednesday even
ing on the preservation of wild
flowers. He will address the Ki
wanis club at Astoria today, and
Friday he will broadcast from
KGW at Portland.
“Davis Douglas, pioneer botan
ist,” is to be the subject of Pro
fessor Sweetser’s talk before the
Astoria Kiwanis club, which is
holding the centennial celebration
in memory of the man who has
done much for pioneer botany.
Many of our wildflowers are named
after Mr. Douglas, said Professor
Sweetser, the Douglas fir being an
example. The radio lecture will be j

Sorority Mourns
Mary, Mascot of
Gamma Phi Beta
Mary was a little goat—a much
beloved goat—until she took sick
and pined away for the green
fields. She passed out quietly,
and was laid to rest with care.
The grief-stricken members of the
(rainma Phi Beta sorority mourn
ed for their little mascot, and as
a last token of their affection
for their 'Mary, they wore mourn
ing bands on their sleeves.
There is one member of the
house, though that does not seem
to mourn the loss of the little
goatkin. Ami, the beautiful big
collie, who, before Mary’s demise,
had to share the affections of the
girls, now reigns supreme in his
role of chief mascot, and the
plaintive ba-a-a b-a-a-a of little
Mary calling for her bottle is no
longer heard by the canine pet.
ROMANCE OF ASTORIA
TO BE ASSEMBLY STORY
Col. W. Gilbert, University
Regent, is Speaker
“The Romance of Astoria” will
be the subject of Colonel W. S.
Gilbert’s address at assembly to
day when he will sketch the his
tory and development of the state’s
oldest town.
Margaret Hyatt, recently elected

Jasmine Door” by Scott as the
musical part of today’s program.
Colonel Gilbert, Presbyterian pas
tor, veteran chaplain of three wars,
ex-commander of the American
Legion in Oregon, and a regent of
the University, has been more or
less closely connected with Astor
ia for the past twenty-five years,
and has taken a lively interest in
its growth and development.
Colonel Gilbert has had a unique
connection with the 162nd Infantry
if the National Guard, going with
it as chaplain to the Philippines
tvhen it was known as the Second
Dregon. After the Spanish-Ameri
can war, he maintained the connec
tion, and when the infantry, now
known as the Third Oregon, went
;o the border in the trouble with
Mexico, he accompanied it there as
well as to France. He recently re
ceived the rank of Lieutenant
Jolonel for twenty-five years of
service as army chaplain.
At present, Colonel Gilbert is
ixecutive secretary, of the Presby
terian mission organization with
ieadquarters in Portland.
Students from Astoria who are
connected with Colonel, Gilbert’s
church are meeting for a luncheon
in his honor at the home of Rever
end Bruce Giffin of the Central

DISHWASHING AND RAILROAD WORK
PAVED WAY TO FACULTY POSITION
Few members of the faculty ap
preciate the plight of the college
3tudent working his way through
school more than Milton T. Hunt i
Jr., new professor in the school of i
law, for Mr. Hunt had earned his
way through college without any
outside assistance. When he de
cided to go to college several
years ago his total earthly wealth
was $165. He selected the Univer
sity of Chicago.
After registration, paying for
books and for one month’s room
rent. Mr. Hunt suddenly became
aware that $165 was not all the
money in the world, and that if
he intended to continue with his
school work he would have to get a
job and do so in a hurry. Mr.
Hunt, as many another young stu
dent. found his experience limited.
He could neither punch a typewrit
er nor clerk in a store, but he
could keep a set of books, and at
that time it seemed to young Hunt
as if a bookkeeper was the least
desired of all persons.
Finally he met a restaurant pro
prietor who could employ a young
man, but not as a bookkeeper, but
as a dish-washer and all-around
spud peeler. All this was ne-.v tc
the young student, pride bowed tc
a hungry stomach, and as he was
in particular need of a job with a
meal-ticket attachment, young Hunt
accepted the position graciously.
But the restaurant furnished onH
the meals, and there were books tc
buy, clothes to launder and roon
rent due, so the youthful collegia!
again went in search of work. H<
finally acquired a job, where
brains were no particular asset, bu1
a pair of strong arms could fill the
bill. He got employment on a sec

GRID ASPIRANTS
TO STAGE GAME
Real Football Dignity to Be
Maintained in Spring
Practice Tilt Tomorrow
NEW STYLE IS ADOPTED
Notre Dame Formation Adds
Pep in Play of Coach’s
Latest Grid Aggregations
Autumn leaves may not be fall
ing nor the touch of fall in the
air, but an atmosphere of all these
things will be created to a marked
degree Friday afternoon on Hay
ward field when all who wish may
witness a regular football game be
tween two teams of men out for
spring football.
Since the first practice began
last term Coach Dick Smith has
been drilling his candidates in all
forms of football education with
the result that tomorrow’s contest
will not be any slip-shod affair,
instead, a regular contest with of
ficials and all the other dignity
which makes a scheduled game in
teresting.
Coach Smith during the past
week has taken two teams, giving
each different signals and j$ays
which will have an added effect
toward realism in the clash Friday.
First scrimmage was indulged in
last Friday and since then every
evening has found the men mixing
regularly and with a meaning.
The centers of the two teams,
Johnson and Dixon, have been
named captains and will be lead
ers of each aggregation. In addi
tion to many varsity men playing
there will be several members of
last season’s frosh eleven and
others. Snap and punch will be in
evidence by the installation of the
Notre Dame style of play such as
will be used to some extent next
fall. In addition to the game to
morrow there will be one next
Wednesday afternoon and a final
tilt the following Friday afternoon,
which will bring to a close the
spring training.
WELL KNOWN FLYER
TO LECTURE TONIGHT
Lieutenant Oakley G. Kelly, who
will give an illustrated lecture in
Villard hall tonight at 8 o’clock, is
expected to land at the Eugene
aviation field about noon today.
Lieutenant Kelly has the distinc
tion of being the first flyer to
make the cross continental non

He \vill tell of the progress of
aviation during recent years, states
Captain F. L. Culin, of the R. O.
T. C. department. Slides will be
shown during the lecture, illustrat
I ing the development of aviation
I both in construction and models,
j describing the advancement! from
the days when airplanes were a
; curiosity to the present time.
It is probable that also motion
, pictures of Lieutenant Kelly’s re
cent flight with Ezra Meeker, the
well known pioneer, will also be
shown.
Lieutenant Kelly is said to be an
interesting speaker. Besides being
an excellent pilot, he is an author
ity on other phases of flying. His
lecture tour has extended to many
| northwest cities and his visit here
is under the auspices of the Re
serve Officer’s association of Lane

Proposed Motion Calls for
Judiciary Body to Pass
On Refractory Yearlings
A motion providing for a fresh
men court was submitted for a pre
liminary hearing at the student
council meeting last night. In the
discussion following the reading of
the report, it was brought out that
the freshman class has been espe
cially lax in regard to rules this
year and that some more effective
form of punishment was necessary
than the paddling on the library
steps. Also that it was necessary
for the freshmen to obey regula
tions, thus making for a more ef
ficient upper classes, and therefore
a better student body. Following
is the report as submitted:
A Motion to Create a Freshman
Court.
Section I. “There shall be a
tribunal known as the ‘Freshman
Court’ which shall have jurisdic
tion over the Freshman class in all
matters covered by the rules laid
down by the Student Council for
the government and conduct of
freshmen, such rules to be herein
after termed the ‘Freshman
Code. ’ ”
Section IT. “The Freshman
Court” shall be composed of a
chief justice and three assistant
justices, and one chief clerk and
two assistant clerks, all of whom
shall be appointed in June of each
year by the incoming and outgoing
presidents of the Associated Stu
dents, and all vacancies occuring
in the court shall be filled by ap
pointment made by the president
of the Associated Students subject
to the approval of the student coun
cil.
Section III. Those sophomore
men who won their numerals dur
ing their first year shall constitute
a vigilance committee, the duties
of which shall be to report to the
court all violations of the “Fresh
man Code,” bring the offenders be
fore the court, and administer such
punishment as the court may ad
judge.
Section IV. Minimum and maxi
ipum penalties for the violation of
the provisions of the code shall be
fixed by the student council. The
court shall administer punishment
according to the merits of each
case.
Section V. The Court shall con
vene at least once a week and at
each session there shall be present,
at least one justice and one clerk.
The chief justice shall preside j
whenever he is present,* and in his
absence tlfe associate justices shall
preside in the order of their ap
pointment.
Section VI. The clerk shall keep
a written record of all the changes

STUDENT SUGGESTS
RECOGNITION EMBLEM
A correspondence study pin for
students of the correspondence
I study department in the Tlniver
j sity extension division has been
i suggested by Hollis C. Audcrway,
in an article in the March, 1925,
Monitor. Mr. Auderway is a young
man living on a farm near Crab
Tree, Linn county.
“To become organized and ac
quainted we must in some way re
move the distance between us in
acquaintenance and be able to
recognize each other when we
meet,” he writes in his article to
his fellow correspondence students.
j“As a means to this end I suggest
that we adopt a pin or emblem to
facilitate recognition between in
dividuals. This would enable utter
strangers to meet, become acquain
I ted. and exchange ideas on the
| work.”
Friday Night Last
Time for Turning in
Expenses of Frolic
Admittance to Floor
Requires Costume
All houses that are putting on
stunts for April Frolic are in
structed to hand in a detailed ac
count of expenses to Doris Dro
phy not later than Friday night.
The sooner these are handed in
the better, she says.
Houses that want a colored
spotlght used with their stunts
are urged to hand in to Lillian
Luders a list of the colors they
want used not later than Friday
night. Tlie committee is supply
ing the spotlight for the occa
sion and those who wish to make
use of it are asked to see Miss
Luders.
There will be a section of re
served seats in the balocny, the
tickets costing 50 cents. These
tickets will be on sale at the
Woman’s building the night of
the Frolic. Other seats in the
balcony will be 25 cents and will
be on sale at the same time. Only
those who are in costume will be
admitted to the Frolic floor, the
admission price is 10 cents.
The chairman of the music for
April Frolic promises the best
that has yet been provided for
such an occasion. There will be
music between each act and after
the performances. Ice cream
bars will be sold during the eve
ning.
VARSITY SWIMMERS
WILL MEET REA1
The varsity swimmers, with a
determination to wipe off the last
defeat, will travel to Corvallis
Saturday and tangle with the Bea
vers in the last intercollegiate meet
of the. year. This promises to be
one o fthe closest and hotly con
tested meets of the season. Both
teams have an added attraction in
that Robert Boggs is eligible for
the varsity and Peterson holds the
same standing for the Aggies..
Both men are holders of intercol
legiate state dash records.
According to Coach Fahl, the
winning team will probably hold
only a few points lead over the
victim. Both teams seem to be
evenly matched and prospects are
that the relay will decide the win
ner. In the first meet held here
last February, the. Beavers pocket
ed a win by a margin of four
points. The varsity has been work
ing out nightly and absolute ad
herence to a training schedule has
been maintained since the open
ing of the present term.
If present indications are a rep
resentative factor there is a possi
bility of one or more intercollegi
ate records being smashed, accord
ing to the coach, who has been I
timing the men the last few prac- j
tices and reports from Corvallis j
create the same viewpoint. With
two title holders in active competi
tion the chance for the present
records holding their place is doubt
ful. If they aren’t broken then
will be severely cracked, states the
coach.
Coach Rudolph Fahl, and the
, following men will leave here
Saturday at one o’clock for the
meet. The men are: Ben Lombard,
j 50-yard dash; Captain Robert Me
j Cabe, 50-yard dash; Robert Boggs,
[century dash; Lament Stone, cen
j tury dash; Art Erickson, century
back stroke; Bob Gardner, century
back stroke; A1 Sinclair, century
breast stroke; Hymen Samuels,
plunge for distance; Boggs and Jul
ian Smith, 220-yard dash; McCabe
and Stone in the diving; Lombard, j
McCabe, Stone, and Boggs will1
swim the relay. Julian Smith will
j receive his first baptism of inter- j
I collegiate fire in this meet.
REPORT ON TRADITIONS
TURNED BACK BY COUNCIL
I
-'Sul.' 4.
Ground for Rejection
Is That Main Issue
Was Not Considered
By Vote of Five to Four Committee is Asked to
Ban Smoking By Architects in Art Building
Court; Balance of Report is Satisfactory
The student council met last night. Smoking was the order
of business- but a conflagration happened instead.
The recent controversy over campus smoking- centering
around the smoking of the architect students in the Arts build
ing court, came to a head with a reading of the report of the
traditions committee., The council refused to accept the report
of the committee on the grounds that the main issue under
debate had been avoided, and sent the report back to the com
mittee with a request for a definite stand. The council added
the suggestion by a vote of 5 to
4, that the committee recommend,
in its next report, that smoking be
forbidden in the Arts building
court.
What really happened was that
the traditions committee found the
question too hot to handle and
passed lie buck, in the shape of a
red hot brick, into the midst of
the council. The committee ap
peared just long enough to toss the
brick through the window of John
son hall, room 1, and then the foot
steps of Jeanette Calkins, chair
man; Delbert Oberteuffer, John
MacGregor, Jean DuPaul, Louie
Anderson, and Imogene Lewis, tra
ditions committee, were heard echo
ing the distant darkness.
Randall Jones, president of the
student body and presiding officer
of the Student Council, picked lip
the brick. He had expected its ap
pearance.
At first the report seemed harm
less enough. At considerable length
it outlined the Oregon traditions
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
TRADITIONS AS LISTED
1. Oregon “Hello.”— Oregon
students meeting on the campus
say “Hello” in greeting. (It is
understood, however, that in ac
tual application this tradition
does not apply between classes
along crowded campus thorough
fares. It is the friendly spirit
which is the tradition and not
merely a parrot-like repetition
of the word “hello”.)
2. Smoking on the Campus—
It is a tradition at Oregon that
there shall be no smoking on the
University campus.
3. Mighty Oregon — Oregon
students stand uncovered when
ever and wherever “Mighty
Oregon” is sung.
4. Oregon Seal—No Univer
sity man or woman walks on the
Oregon seal in the sidewalk in
front of Villard hall.
5. The “O”—The “O” on
Skinner's Butte is maintained I
and kept painted by the fresh
man class.
0. The Senior Bench — The |
Senior Bench is sat on only by
seniors and graduates.
7. Freshman Caps and Tux
edos—Freshman at the Univer
sity wear the traditional green
cap, and freshmen do not wear
tuxedos or dress suits during the
first year on the campus.
8. Athletic Traditions — (a)
the true spirit of Sportsmanship!
prevails at all athletic contests
held under the auspices of the 1
University, (b) No Oregon man j
accompanies any woman to or!
during an official University |
athletic contest or rally. (c)
Every University student sup
ports to the best of his or her
ability all official student body
contests and rallies and is pres
ent wben possible. (d) All
Oregon students stand in their
places during the official Uni
versity cheer, the “Oskey.”
(e) No University student dur
ing the college year wears any
athletic emblem, of any high
or preparatory school or college,
I other than the Oregon O, within
j the environs of the University.
o—-—
that seemed Worthy of upholding;
the green cap; the “Hello”; re
spect for the Oregon Seal; and
many others.
Smoking Discussed
Then it came to smoking. By
opening for smoking all public side
walks parallel to streets, for a
smoker’s refuge, the committee be
lieved that the traffic situation
might be alleviated.
As for the architects—silence.
The buck, red hot, was safely in
the hands of the student council.
Around and ’round it went. Hot
ter and hotter. Shall the architects
smoke, or shan’t they? That’s what
the student council wanted to know.
It finally decided that it could on
ly act upon the recommendations of
the traditions committee—(very
convenient in getting rid of a hot
one)—and sent the report back to
the committee, via the following
route, moved by Don Woodward:
“Moved and seconded the report of
the traditions committee be sent
back to that body with the recom
mendation that some definite stand
be taken in regard to smoking in
the art quadrangle, which is the
present matter of controversy.”
With that over, the council felt
better. Some of the members of
the council felt, however, that the
traditions committee, since, as ru
mor had it, was not able to agree
within itself, after many days of
debate, should be given the bene
fit of the council’s advice. This
seemed a happy thought, so Ed
ward Miller, senior man on the
council moved that “the student
council suggests to the traditions
committee, that in their next re
port it recommend that smoking
shall be prohibited in the court of
the Arts building.”
Vote Is 4 to 5
Randall Jones called for an “Aye
and Nay” vote. The result was in
question, so he called for a rising
vote. When he called for the af
firmatives, to prohibit smoking in
the architecture court, Ruth Akers,
Edward Miller, Paul Agor, Don
Woodward and Marie Myers arose.
Against the motion and in favor
of court smoking were Oordon Wil
son, Walter Malcolm, Fred Martin
, and Richard Nance. So it was, a
house against itself; but the motion
went to the committee, neverthe
less.
In two weeks the council will
again meet to consider the revised
report of the traditions committee.
In the meantime the pro-architects
and the anti-architects will have
their inning.
Tho report, which was the result
of several weeks work, submitted
by the traditions committee was
very completo and unanimous ap
proval, with the single exception
of the smoking, was expressed by
council members.
Report Is Given
The report of the traditions com
mittee is as follows:
“In attacking the problem of the
traditions of the University of Ore
gon the committee early agreed
that it would be necessary to gov
ern its discussions by certain as
sumed limits, namely:
“1. That the Traditions commit
tee of the University of Oregon
should not consider under its juris
