Frosh Provide Nightly Dozen For Vigilantes Green Lids Fine Thing For Oregon, Says Fred West Heart-Rending Plea for Traditions Made Paddles have not lost their place in Oregon traditions. They were wielded again last night at the first meeting of the new vigilance com mittee, but this time privately and in a spirit of helpful good will in stead of as a humiliating public display of horseplay. “The new idea is entirely differ ent from the old,” said Fred West, who presided at the meeting. “Be fore each freshman was brought up separately like a criminal before a jury, but we are trying to get away from that feeling. We want to impress upon you,” he said, address ing the freshmen present, “that we should all work to keep up Oregon traditions instead of being forced to do so. I feel sure that the majority of the freshman class would vote against the removal of frosh rules and punishment. Since the library step custom has been abolished, many have asked me the reaso(n for this action, and most of them have been freshmen. “The school ought to have tra ditions,” he continued, “and it hasn’t outgrown them, and never will outgrow them. Many older schools than Oregon are continuing i them. If we allow frosh rules, which really become traditions, to die, wo will hold this same attitude toward other things on the campus, and we will become passive in nature. “Such traditions as wearing green lids, smoking on the campus, and subordination of the frosh, are fine things for the school and will go down through the yeats. Oregon traditions will not change funda mentally ,even though there are committees to make changes in minor details. The hello tradition may die out, but we want to try to keep it up. “A spirit of good fellowship, fun, and helpful advice will pervade these weekly meetings, which will fbe held on Thursday in the future,” he concluded. The new vigilance committee, composed of sophomore Oregon Knights, was complimented on the performance of its duty of report ing freshmen who have been seen disregarding traditions. So far, 38 names have been turned in. Fresh men receiving punishment last night were: Francis Stungis, no lid; Pat Beal, no lid; Walter Mathews, too cocky; Walton Crane, no lid; Harold Kelley, no lid; Bus Mc Dowell, no lid, too cocky; Rosser Atkinson, no lid, too cocky; Tim Wood, no lid; Darold Elkins, no lid; Ronald Redwin, no lid; Jack ' Antsey, no lid. Walt Clancy and Chuck Williams, both charged with not wearing their lids, failed to appear at the meeting. Ray Wil- ‘ liams and Fred West presided at the paddle. Luncheon to he Given For Dr. H, L, Bowman j The public speaking banquet i whicli was planned by the Portland j ■center of the Extension Division j for Friday, February 18, lias been j postponed until tho spring term, | probably April 15. The illness.of Helen Miller Senn, ' who has charge of the public speak ing classes, and the presence in Portland that night of Fritz Kreis ler and Hugh Walpole are respon sible for the change. The public speaking banquet is about the larg est annual affair of its kind in Portland. Over five hundred people were expected.

Miss Prutsman Finds Students and State Surpass Expectation “I am enthusiastic about Ore gon,” said Miss Hazel Prutsman, who came here from the East at the beginning of this term to as sist Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall in con ducting social research, and to serve as part-time secretary to Dean Virginia Judy Esterly. ‘‘The students here seem less sophisticated, yet well bred, gra cious, cordial. They are not blase,” she added. Members of the faculty at Oregon are younger, more interesting, and more “human” than in any uni versity where Miss Prutsman has studied, she said. Miss Prutsman, who describes herself in a humorous vein as a “college tramp,” has had a summer’s work at each of three colleges, Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Minnesota. She was graduated from the University of Chicago. Miss Prutsman is very much in terested in her work here, she said. While she disclaimed any expecta tions of finding Oregonians in the aborigine state, she admitted that it was much more pleasant here than she had expected. In fact, Miss Prutsman claims, she is quite en tranced with the University a“nd its surroundings. She likes the town, the country she describes as beautiful, and the scenery as won derful.

K. j “Flowers are like humans, you know. As they grow older they need more room to live in,” said Mr. Sam Mikkelson, University gardener, as he gently patted the warm loam about the roots of the rose slips which he W'as transplant ing. Last year the slips were plant | ed closely together in the little plotted rose garden on University street directly behind Friendly hall but they have grown so much during the past year that transplanting has been necessary for all. When asked what his next work would be he pondered a moment and then said, “Well, I suppose the next thing I’ll be doing will be fixing the hot beds.” The seeds will have to be planted for blue delphinium and other flowers. Pointing to the little plot of ground beside the House hold Arts building, he declared, “Over there the double daffodils are already beginning to come out and soon the single ones will also be in bloom. There will -be half a dozen kinds of tulips too this year and Canterbury bells.” When Mr. Mikkelson speaks of his flowers, shrubs and trees he does so wfith a kindly twinkle in his oyes and a soft, gentle and respect ful tone as if he were talking of his best friends. When asked about the vines in the art court which have been making the entire quadrangle gay with their bright, yellow, star like blooms for the past couple of months he smiles and murmurs, “Those are what we call sports blooming out of season. The vine is called the kew broom and is partic ularly well adapted to this sort of thing.” Other flowers now in bloom on the campus are the shrubs which have been in blossom all fall, the flowering laurel. Then too, there are the wall flowers which are to be found on the south side of the Art building. There the sun beats down on one of the most sheltered spots on the campus and there bloom some of the first flowers in the spring. Be sides the wall flowers there is a little bed where violets are already in bud and there too is the camilia rose that has been in bloom for sev eral v-oeks. There are also two Alpha Chi Omega GRILLE DANCE February 22 3-5 P. M. Cover Charge 25c Couple Ye Campa Shoppe buahes of Japanese quince that are trying bravely to burst into bloom. And then across the campus there is another little shrub that would be hard to find so nearly hidden is it by other shrubs but for its love ly fragrance that everyone notices i § when passing by. It is the daphne and is now in full bloom below one of the east windows of Susan Camp bell hall. Soon the big pink magnolias which are beside the path between the library and Deady will be in bloom and perhaps the new magnolia recently planted near the sun dial will soon burst into bloom. No one knows yet what color it will be for it has not yet had a blossom, muses Mr. Mikkelson, but we hope it will be a pretty one.
