EDITORIAL
The Parade-Mix
HARDENED indeed will be the Freshman
who, next Saturday, fails to respond to
the Parade-Mix. By retaining-the most valu
able portions of both the Frosh Parade and the
Underclass Mix, the Sophomore-Junior commit
tee, through authority granted by the Student
Council, has perfected an institution that should
accomplish far more than the results obtained
by the two distinct events.
* * * »
The Underclass Mix was tottering. Designed
originally to imbue Oregon men and women
with patriotism for their Class and University,
the Mix gradually became a mere good-natured
scrap with no significance and with barely
enough principals and spectators to carry on
the proceedings.
* * * *
A comprehensive program, under the new
Parade-Mix, has been arranged. The route of
the Parade is to be shortened, with the assembly
at the “O” on Skinner’s butte, rather than
at the University. While time for chastise
ment is shortened, one is inclined to believe
that ample opportunity will be given the Soph
omores for the breaking in of new and better
instruments of torture. A speeding up of the
stroke will do the trick.
» * » »
From the Butte the Frosh are to be trans
ported, by foot, and via the Seal, to Hayward,
where the Mix takes place. The Frosh at that
point will have an opportunity to show their
mettle; and in the Mix, re-vamped, there lie
the possibilities for a final moulding of true
‘Oregon Men.’
# * * *
Yale University, oldest of American colleges,
maintains an ancient tradition similar to Ore
gon’s combined Parade-Mix. It is called the
“Bush,” and takes place one of thift first nights
of the school year.
* « • •
# - i
Some Yale man has written:
“When Fresh-mun first we came to Yale
Foil, de roll, de roll, roll, roll
Ex-zam-in-a-shuns made us pale,
Foil, de roll, de roll, roll, roll!”
The foregoing, however, is not precisely true.
The ‘paleness’ comes from the word ‘rush*
which is whispered about with respectful awe
almost as soon as the Freshmen arrive at the
University. It is an event of great magnitude
in the life on an Eli Yale freshman.
The night it takes .place is a large night for
all; there is the snake dance in the light of
calcium fires, led by the “Y” men; the fresh
man-sophomore wrestling matches; and finally
the Bush, when the Freshmen attempt to force
the Sophomores from their fence.
Out of the fracas the Freshmen emerge, united
as a class, and no longer strangers in the Uni
versity. From the assembly comes the famous
Yale roar:
“Bulldog! Bulldog! Bow-Wow-Wow!
Eli! Yale!”
As long as Yale men live, they cannot hear
that chant without experiencing a genuine
thrill. They were made Yale men, in the Eusli,
overnight.
So it will lie with the Parade-Mix. For
years Oregon men have gone through the Pa
rade and the Mix, and have, somewhat painful
but most eternally, learned of Oregon’s tradi
tions. Combining the two presents a wonder
ful opportunity to initiate Oregon Frosh into
the secrets of ‘Oregon Spirit’—that intangible
substance essential to all Oregon Men.
TO THE EDITOR
The Year’s Outlook
THE OREGON Student Body may well anti
cipate a promising year in the realm of
music. Bean Landsbury, Mrs. Thatcher, and
Mr. Underwood, with other members of the
musical school faculty, have returned from a
successful visit, abroad, bringing with them a
renewed vitality for the ensuing year. With
the increase in registration there is undoubt
edly an increase in new talent. Furthermore
the" artists tt> visit this campus this year are
of high calibre.
While in Europe, we are proud to know, Mr.
Underwood received’ a “virtuoso" prize which
was tendered him at Fountainbleau for _ his
superior playing. This prize is rarely given
and only those wh’o are considerably advanced
can compete for it.
* * * *
During the course of the year there will bo
school. It is safe in saying that they tfill be
well worth attending. The enrollment at the
music school, like all the 'other departments of
the university, is larger than ever before; and
under the capable guidance of the musical fac
ulty much can be expected.
It is refreshing to know that the three artists
coming to the University this year are among
the finest. Anna Case, who is familiar to the
campus, is to be here. Friedman, a brilliant
and scholarly pianist, will make his first ap
pearance in Eugene. His artistry is known
throughout the world, and Oregon is fortunate
and worthy of having him. Kochanski, a ver
satile and sensational violinist, will also make
his appearance here. He comes with many
glories behind him. The Barrier little sym
phony, the finest little symphony in the world,
is to be here.
We need more music and finer music. The
outlook for this year seems to indicate that we
are going to get it.—M. C.

are the most lasting in more ways than one.

Open House. Let us pray to the Powers that
Be make the route as short as possible. If
transportation be provided—well and good, but
unfortunately most of us dislike walking.
SEVEN SEER S
Today—The Ten Plagues
If you think this column’s dreary,
You don’t know the half'.of it, dearie.
There, beginning the day with such a cheery
little inott we ’ll settle down to the more austere
business of announcing to the campus the names
of those lucky souls who have been seen with
favor by the All-Seeing Eye. Let it be known
primarily, that these persons can never hope to
attain the exalted positions that We, their su
perior officers hold, but will remain in humble
rank (quite rank) below TJs. However, it must
not be ignored* that these persons have attained
some achievement, and because of these merits
listed after their names, We give them the
honor of joining Our Tong.
Therefore, the Almighty Order of Seven
Seers, that blo-ws all, sees all, nominates to their
order the following persons:
Tom Murray of Salem, because he was a
leader of men, because he did his own cook
ing while on his vacation, and because he
finally returned to civilization because he
was too lazy to -walk any farther to elude
the officers.
Don Marquis because he has a cockroach
and isn’t ashamed of it, because he’s a
columnist like Us and because We feel
sorry for him.
Mary Jo Shelley, because she writes
poetry and lives in Michigan, and because,
although she goes all the way bach to
Mich, again during the summer, she comes
back to Oregon and writes more poetry.
Dick Smith, because he doesn’t Charles
ton, and because he holds the whip hand
over every ox on the team.
Miss America, because she went to At
lantic City, and because sbe wins all the
prizes. r
Bob Mautz, because he’ll practise law
with the same implements with which he
plays football, because he doesn’t qhajce
hands (this is sincere), and because he’d
make a good coxswain.
Will Rogers, because he’s a dam good
joe and doesn’t give a dam.
Lee Luders, because she doesn’t either.
The Trans-Pacific Fliers, because they’re
the only government officials to use a still
and have a good enough excuse to get away
with it, and because they stuck to their
diet longer than we can.
Paul Patterson, because he’s lived in Se
attle many years and doesn’t show any ef
fects of it yet; because he may graduate
sometime.
Let it be known, though, among you fortunate
ones, that with the election to membership to
night, only seven of the above plagues can
be written clown on Our Great Book—three
names must be wiped from the list. To fairly
determine this the Seers engage in a solemn
game of ten pins in the Bowling alley on Ninth
street. Each pin is named, and stood up against
the wall, and those three to fall by the black
ball, are those who will not make the Lodge."
* * * *
Let it be known that among our Brotherhood
there is strife. Sahib Allah Mancu-sh, the
handsomest, of our Seers, whose beard is the
longest, and whose tongue speaks sweet sounds
into the ears of females, has raised a com
plaint because. We refused to grant to nomina
tion two nominees he suggested. Needless to
say, both are women, both come from Califor
nia, one from San Diego and one from Holly
wood and both wear fur coats. The fact that
they are both women .and wear fur coats is ac
ceptable, but because the Order has alreadv
mini mated Miss America, who, is likewise a
native daughter. We feci We’re giving the
state all the publicity that’s coming to it.
Brother Orlando Y. Bingh will conduct the
column tomorrow. He is the fifth and wisest
of Our Seers.
Cheerio!
