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. Is there any Heed to state the season
of the year?
Assembly scheduled for Friday morning this week. Friday
11 o’clocks moved forward to the same hour today.

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.

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

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.

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.
With the possible exception of Dean
Emeritus Straub, this body is more

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
