Everyone enjoyed it—spectators, senior cops, sophomore ajid frosh. The first year mfcn learned their lesson, forcibly and finnly; and probably won’t forget it. The whole affair was staged in good fashion, testifying to the efficiency of those in charge. jThe most outstanding feature of the Mix was the good sportsmanship pf the participants. Several of the events aren’t exactly tea parties, and the fact that the men can jump in, with all fours, and keep their heads and tempers, is proof enough that Oregon men are good sports. Bring Back the Stetson A few yearn ago—before the time of the Sombrero—all Senior* at Oregon wore Stetson hats as a mark of their Seniority. Now that the Sombrero ha* just about sighed its last, it would seem a splendid time to revive the old custom of wearing the Stetson. * • t • The Sombrero is dying a well deserved death. It is too large and cumbersome to be easily handled; too expensive to be within the reach of all; on a good many persons it look* like a top-heavy canopy; and it isn’t even comfortable. 1 i t I .The Stetson, on the other hand, is trim look ing; it can be worn to good advantage by most everyone; it is not overly expensive; and can be worn after leaving the University. Beet of all it eannot be classed as a fad. Ten years from now it will be in good style and good taste. It savors not of blue jeans and kindred ills. * * • * Adoption of the Stetsons by the present Senior class would insure the re-establishment of a worthy Oregon custom and would provido a highly desireable means of demarcation be tween upperclassmen. Call for Managers Abroad now is a call for freshman aspirants for managerial positions. A letter sent to each men’s living organization urges each group to send at least three frosh to assist in mana gerial activities. • • • • This is the first move under the new mana gerial program voted last spring in student body elections and inaugurated for the first time this fall. From now on the student body will be watching to see whether or not the move has been a good one. For many years the managerial system at Ore gon was a mess. Men worked long and indus triously to find themselves unrewarded, or in positions of little responsibility and still smaller rewaTd. The whole system lacked organization and prestige. The result of this condition was the new plan which was adopted after a long period of investigation. • * * * The fate of the new system lies largely at the door of the graduate manager and the first general manager; in their hands lays the power to put the system) on the basis where it belongs. When the year is over, if managerial activities have not advanced materially in scope and prestige, Oregon students are going to be sadly disappointed. LETTERS Down With the Seers To the Editor: We have noticed a radical change in the edi torial policy. Frankly, X think the editorial* have a better effect than heretofore and the movie box is very helpful, especially if you are in a hurry and are trying to find out what the shows are playing. The features seem to be interesting and well written. Sports news have been more or less ignored, and in fact, there are times when the down town papers and the Portland dailies publish more about the Oregon team than does the Emerald. As the Emerald sports are probably mostly handled by fresh men, perhaps that’s for the best. As for your Seven Seers column, it is neither humorous nor entertaining. If it had a purpose, I must have missed the point entirely. I appreciate the fact that you are trying to encourage the local talent towards greater things, but it is very sad indeed that in a school of 2700 there is no one who possesses the ability or the sense of humor to put this column over with a punch. Since space in the Emerald is none too plenti ful, I would suggest that you dispose of the column and fill it up with a little more of the spicy kind of poetry we bad last year, That at least was amusing. S. H. W. From Beau Brummel To the Editor: Judging by the attire of the male portion of our latest “biggest and best” class, the impres sion seems to be abroad that it is necessary to be suited, stayeombed, pressed, shined and powdered to appear on the campus without los ing face. They are all dressed up. We appre ciate the fact that their clothes aro new—they como that way—but someone should inform themi that this institution is not a church, and that Thirteenth is not Fifth avenue—therefore there is little reason for this display of fine rai ment. Far be it from me to curb the liberties of dress or to suggest that anyone be required to step beneath his accustomed habits of accoutre ment. Perhaps they were all raised that way and can’t help it but it does seem as though they might lay aside the best suit once in a while in favor of any old pants and a sweater. It takes much care to look as they look, and they really need the time for studies. A lock of hair out of place or even the lack of a neck tie (of course this is utterly unthinkable), will not jeopardize their chances of remaining in school another term, nor plaee them lower in the estimation of even their classmates of the opposite sex. There is really no harnt in these joyous and resplendent habiliments but wo are merely afraid that someone might get the idea that the whole shew is necessary and indispensable to an education. BEAU BRUMMEL. At the Theatres REX—Last Day: Bebe Daniels in “The Manicure Girl,” a rollieksome comedy of a cute little cutie cutup who just loved to hold hands, and of a bTeezy yonng fellow who “nailed” her; it’s Bebe’s best! Rex comedy, “My Hero,” a fearless farce. THE McDonald—Last day: Adolph Men .jou, Betty Bronson, and Florence Vidor in “Are Parents People,” a delicious comedy of marriage and divorce. Comedy, Lloyd Hamilton in “The Movies.” SEVEN SEERS Advice to Frosh Associate Members of The Seen Dick Smith Bob Manta Lee Laden Homy Ida Anwrlrn WUl Bogan In order that our first year men may adapt themselves as readily as possible to college con ditions, and may assun^ with a minimum of delay that “collegiate” air so admired by pres ent-day novelists and high school senior girls, the Seven Seers offer the following suggestions. (Note: Inhale deeply, extend the ears and say “Ooskie Pooskie” before undertaking the fol lowing exercises): Practice at every opportunity the HI Fll Slump (sometimes locally known as the Slouch), with hands deep In your pockets, head sunk between shoulders, and an 18 carat scowl. The next step is the perfecting of the glad hand. This accomplishment is only attained With a great deal of practice. Extend the hand limply forward, on a line with the solar plexus, and, holding the hand rigid, wave the arm languidly In a circular motion until you have achieved the full floating elbow. At the moment of contact, let the muscles of the hind relax completely, and count 15 before sliding your hand down ward and outward. Olive oil smeared on the hands will help In developing the slippery, clammy quality so characteristic to the col legiate. Next proceed te the promiscuous applica tion of what Caesar would have called the Boftus .Soapas. This is the highest and ulti mate attainment of the collegiate air, and freshmen can not be expected to assimilate it without plentiful preparation. After an acre or so has been spread the neophyte will find himself Increasing In proficiency. Mas tery of the art. may lead to great things— editors and student council members are made that way. Helpful hints In technique may be gleaned from the editorials of the Emerald, which nfay, Indeed, be revered as highest examples of the art property applied. ORLANDO Y. BINGH. To Edward M. (Marion) Miller, Reputed Editor of the Emerald. Dear Eddie: It has reached our sensitive ears, Ed, that the first page of your sheet, while far better than , the products of your predecessors, is open to j criticism. It ’a strange, my lad, but nevertheless | true, and I, as one of the Seven Seers, think it , my duty to comb the invincible Emerald and in this quiet way help you about. I have heal'd it rumored that you fill your , paper with too mush news and that the advertis ing creditors are howling for more room. Why ! not give them all the room they want, Eddief. Besides, people would h^ueh rather know thei latest in “Hart, Schafter and Sparks” clothing i than all the football games combined. I If I were you, Ed, I’d just ehuck some of1 those silly old front page stories back into the fire-box again and make over a nice attractive front page with the finest ads you eon find in the morgue. Then, besides, people wouldn’t! have to turn to the inside pages to read Emerald advertisement at all and it seems to me it would be an economic saving as well as working for expediency. I Above all, Ed, don’t let any member of your 1 staff refer to wine or women. Be careful about giving them any colorful stuff, for this is primarily a sterling institution and a paper should only reflect the minds of the masses it serves. Yours for purified publications, OLAF DARNU. One of the pleasing and quaint little customs 1 of the Oregon campus which have been observed by the Seven Seers is the famous “Oregon Hello.” We had heard of such a tradition, but did not believe such a feeling of democracy and ‘good fellowship possible under modern condi tions. It. is interesting, yes, even pathetic, to note how eagerly all Oregon students, from) the innocent frosh to the nicotine-stained upper classman, work to maintain this tradition. And the co-eds! Ah, seldom is such frank friendli ness encountered in this hardened old world of ours It has been, and will continue to be, a saving virtue for a student body otherwise common-place.
