A Tingle in the Air ^J'HE YEARS roll around rapidly. Those who are “out,” those who are older, confess that the years roll around more rapidly and more rapidly as the hair on their head grows thinner and thinner, as the number of candles on the annual cake becomes greater and greater. The seasons become increas. ingly precious, increasingly elusive and fleeting. Just two weeks and it will be time to crumple another leaf from the calendar and toss April into the waste basket. May, to the Oregon student, among other diversions, means a period of tense, times, glad hands, renewed interest in the languishing “Hello,” appraising looks, “invites”to drop in for a meal, and persuading, whispered words. Politics! The soft spring air has a slight tingle already. You knoAV, Some One asks Someone Else, “Who will run for Chief of the Committee of Buck Passers? Do you thing Jack Nicotine con siders he has a chance for Custodian of the Vile Weed? Who will be put up for Lookout of the Law School Sidewalk Gazers? Is anyone mentioned for President of the Smokehouse?” And Someone Else answers, “I don’t think so, but of course, I really don’t know. Then, again, he might.” Following this sage utterance In* wags a knowing head, and contracts the muscles of one eyelid in a sly and insinuating motion, fearful lest Some One might fall into error and think he isn’t “on the Inside.” ■ liPfUSfP*; Some One scuttles away to his burrow to impart the startling news he has just heard to Protege. “Straight stuff, Protege. Can’t be any mistake about it. Someone Else just told me. lie's on the Inside, you know.” Out comes the list of Prospective Votes and they subtract This House and That House from Protege’s calculated total. Yes, the tingle is in the air! The joint concert planned for tonight by the men’s and women’s glee clubs under the direction of John Stark Evans should be well-attended. Musical events are always supported by a large percentage of the University student body. The home concerts given by the glee clubs in past years have been exceedingly enjoyable. With both the men’s and the women's clubs participating in one program, it is not illogical to expect increased pleasure from their efforts at the Woman’s building this evening. Not a bad idea at all! Classifying birds by their notes as the field class in biology is entertaining itself. The class ex pects to classify ;U) or 40 species during the term. Birds other than those wearing natural feathers may be identified by their notes this quarter, also. Referring, of course, to the students who will “i]v the coop when the Student Union solicitor drops in for a signature. If you have a canoe and are tired of paddling it yourself, it might not be a bad plan to look over the roll of the girls' canoeing class The benefit would be mutual. They wish to practice with the paddle; you wish to practice lolling amid ships. It's bound to be painful at any time. Might as well lift the weight from one’s mind early as late. The weight is sure to be lifted from your poeketbook. Registration fees are pay able today. Three-fifths of the “Society” column this week concerned itself with engagements.

It’s Prejudice, Sir, Prejudice! | To the" Editor: i I have heard a number of peo ple ashing why the Traditions com mittee insists on upholding the Smoking Prohibition whepi there seems to be so much sentiment against maintaining it. There has been a surprisingly small amount of support of the custom in the Communication Column, in fact everything of any value has been in favor of doing away with the Prohibition, it seems to many of us. Then, it is rightfully asked, why does the Traditions commit tee and Student Council put down their feet and refuse to erase this antiquated custom? Do they possess some reasons which are secreted from the stu dent body which moves them to this stand? If so, then why not tell us of it? Or are they influ enced by the menacing shadow of the authority of “higher ups?” There is no way of answering this, we would like to know about it if so. I do not think that either of these is the whole case, for, as I see it, good old fashioned prejudice is their motivating force. Preju dice—the same prejudice that closed our markets to German man ufactured goods for a long time af ter the war, in face of the fact that German goods were cheaper than others, of better quality and ready for sale. As it has been pointed out in these columns before the problem of keeping the campus clean woulcl not be a big one, according to Mr. Fisher; the State Eire Marshall has not insisted on the prohibition; the rule is being violated every day from the President’s office to Guild hall; a big proportion of the campus is excluded from the Pro hibition; and the impression given tourists who pass Thirteenth street by the crowds of loafing smokers is most undesirable and disgust ing. Against these points the only cry that has been raised is that a tra dition is a tradition and so let’s keep it. If a progressive social body like the University is pro gressing with the passing of years, , does it seem unnatural that its I customs should change also? Not to me. I understand that many j customs quite in evidence a few j years ago have entirely evaporated !'by now. Freshman hazing, the j senior sombrero, rushing at Junior i Week-end—these are but a few of | the old ways of doing things of which we hear nothing today.

Prejudice—it must be on the grounds of a natural prejudice against smoking on the campus if the Traditions committee or Stu dent Council again attempt to stem the tide of this new freedom that must come in a year or two. It takes a big, broad minded man or group of men to face the facts and, admitting that the facts are stack ed against them, let reason alone dictate the decisions. What is the Traditions committee going to do? The decision they hand in will soon label their mental habits. J. E. J. MALE SCRUTINIZING SOCIETIES ARE SCORED To the Editor: “Holy Smoke—yes, little child ren, there was a tradition against it—and then, there was no tradi tion, because some traditions hinder progress and Oregon -IS a progres sive school!” But why all the fuss over this tradition about smoking which is far more of an evil than a help. What, pray tell, is the harm in smoking on the campus? Cigarette stubs? All right—hire an extra man to pick ’em up. Lack of respect? Hardly, since it would do away with the clandestine smokes that are so common on our very own campus, and make the habit honorable by being sanc tioned. And as yet, there is no national law against Jhe “naltty weed.” Being a member of the speaker sex, I claim my right to say that Dries Quick Sticks Tight NeveT Stains the campus stubs would be sweet ; compared to the gossip-gangs that litter Thirteenth street, which are the result of the tradition. It takes 1 a good deal of courage to pass these male scrutinizing societies that con-; gregate along the sidewalk. Then, too, what kind of an impression do passing motorists get of a Univer sity that crowds its smokers into the gutter for their essential smoke, thereby giving a very “street^” atmosphere to the institution! It is hard to understand how i such a tradition has lasted so long, especially when such a great amount of improvement would be wrought through the change, for it is very distasteful and embarras sing for the co-ed who undergoes in spection by the Obak-like order of Thirteenth street smokers. E. B. DUKE CARTER SPEAKS UP ON CAMPUS SMOKE To the Editor of the Emerald: i It is a . . . note when tradi tions have to be legislated. Oregon traditions would be a sight better kept if left strictly to the Order of the “O”. Force is superior to ,words. Had this picturesque body acted promptly and without delay, or hesitation when signs of deter ioration first began to appear we j would not now have the spectacle1 of Oregon traditions being dragged j on the green by a bunch who con tend that art is superior to nature. Oregon spirit is in a large meas ure an outgrowth of Oregon tradi tions. The Order of the “O” is the chief source of Oregon Spirit.

Architects Bis»n fey H»gh Fsriss a Picture” J-l£lvp the architects envisioned a picture, saw the modern office * + budding in terms of the great art of the Middle Ages—and the result is a demonstration that the utilitarian structure, the modem office pudding of commerce may be as picturesque as it is pracucal. Vision, imagination, courage and practical ingenuity in stylistic adaptation have enabled the architects of this country to astonish the world with {0?if achievements of today and their promise of tomorrow. Certainly modem invention—modem engineering skill and organiza tion, will prove mote than equal to the demands of the architecture Onfe? future.
