Good Sports
The Parade-Mix, last Saturday, was a good
show. 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.

SEVEN SEERS
Advice to Frosh
Associate Members of The Seen
Dick Smith
Bob Manta

Homy

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.
