A Minority
That’s Effective
WHEN til o nows first went
abroad on the campus that the
University had officially accepted
the reeommeiMlatio.il for a Junior
College, consternation was rife i.n
the element opprobriously culled
“registrant.” Now that a list of .08
qualified for the work has been fmb
lished—a list including athletes as
well as anaemic tortoise-framed
grinds—misgivings have Subsided.
Ciloom occasioned by the vision of
a new triple-threat flunking system
has been displaced by enthusiasm
for Oregon progress in mutters edu
cational.
The first selections of the council
were made on grade ratings. Ft is
neither the rule nor the wish, of the
controllers, however, to rigidly re
strict, membership in the honors
group to those who have made any
stipulated grade-marks. Such a
policy would be obviously inconsis
tent since the introduction of the
new system was inspired by the un
reliability of numerical rating as
nil index to real scholastic achieve
ment. Individuals to whom a II is
as rare and welcome as Christmas
may be given sanction if they can
show enough interest and ability.
It is noUessential that tin- student
even be a major in the department
or school in which his special work
is done. Too frequently it occurs
that, for diplomatic or “practical”
reasons, he is enrolled in a techni
cal, professional or business school
while his real interests lie in the
light service course he Iras chosen
U's an elective. An honlOrs student
in this situation is free to develop
his faculties in their normal direc
tio n.
The Junior Collage can never bo
relatively very large—it shouldn’t
be—but its development is of vital
import to the University. Its ap
peal is to a minority that is the
backbone of the system; the saving
factor in the otherwise hopeless
welter of mob education. Now that
minority has its chance.
Today the Pad
Is Put in “Paddle”
TODAY’S the day for the fresh
men. A big day of clean, whose-,
some fun admirably capped by the
annual open house scrimmage.
A report came from high places!
yesterday that the Emerald would
make strenuous attempts to defend
the poor fresh. Hut when the last
group of fire-place critics disbands
tonight after literally meeting the
campus, it will realise that the
strongest ally of the fresh is tile
sophomore class. Or, perhaps, more
accurately, the effect of inertia on
the Thundering Thousand of MO.
II will be a sorry sight for those
prone to hark back to the glorious
gory days when they were fresh
men. Take a long last look, old
timers, for you are about to Wit
ness the death throes of hazing at
Oregon.
The law is immutable; off with
the old and on with the new. The
Emerald cannot change it, neither
can the student council, but the
course of hazing has been run. To
day you’ll see paddling with accent
on the first syllable.
Further Adventures
In Clothing
MIGHTY combat looms in the
■* offing. Once more have the
males of the sophomore class hurled
a challenge to the fate that seems
to rule o’er official garb for second
year men.
Brown moleskins—not real skins,
of course, but jtrown trousers made
of a cloth called moleskin—'vv*i 11 be
the latest sacrifice to be led before
the altar of class distinctions. Will
the gods be appeased and relent or
will the official pantaloons meet
their doom in the hungry maw of
the angry spirit ?
Perhaps it will not be amiss to
introduce a bit of history wherein
the voracious appetite of the mon
ster is revealed.
Once upon a time, when the pres
ent sophomores were still in short
pants --yes, short pants, not golf
knickers- -there was a sophomore
class whose members wished to
have some distinctive article of
dress. They dared not ape the up
perclassmen with 'cords and som
breros, yet foil red that they might
be miistutoeVi for freshmen. This
fear being well founded, they de
cided to adopt blue jetties. Adopt
them they did, but alas! The win
ter winds blow cold. Chills and
shivers chased each other up and
do win the Hophomoric spines. The
blue jeans were cast into the eternal
limbo.
Another day, another class. Nice,
bright red hats, the kimVthe dough
ty nimrod wears as he fares forth
into the forest in search of game,
would surely lend the coveted dis
tinction. Aiud they did, for a brief
moment. Down poured the rain and
down streaked the red. A gory end
to that quest of the elusive gar
ment.
Sweatshirts were the choice of
the class of ’-S in youtugcr days.
Very popular indeed. All classes
took ter wearing them and distinc
tion once more eluded its pursuers.
Only last year, there was what the
sophomores christened "beer suits,”
but others were not so particular im
what names were applied to the
originally white costumes. Once
more the jinx called old dupe I’lu
vius tio his assistance and many a
suit sought to withdraw into its
own shell, much to the embnrrass
mcmt of it^c owner.
Moleskins? It’s hard to predict
what will be their fate, but here’s
luck to them and to their wearers.
May they ever have good support.

Soph Flays Antics
As tin* time for tTic annual fresh
man para lie is hero; the contro
versy over i “vision of rules for the
affair has lieen almost completely
silenced ami it would seem as
though the critics of this form of
‘'Oregon tradition” were waiting to
see what will happen tins time.
The »u|'huinore class has agreed
to abide by the revisions of the
parade made by the stintent body
officers. Hurely! and why not agree
since the decision rented with the
chosen few of the class officers
and since the parade has not been
modified in the interests of the in
coming freshmen at all,
Forty-five men have been dfosen.
to i epics nt the sophomore class as
"puddle wielders . As l write,
the list of these men is being made
into copy for publication in the
Kmernld. It is my prophecy that
the men selected are noted neither
for their ability to see the side of
the incoming freshmen or for any
humane qualities in regard to the
“gentle” use of the paddle.
In tin* first place nothing has
been removed from the ceremony
except the possible grudge blows
to be given freshmen In sopho
mores holding something against
them. The “4o” will not be allowed
_ to puddle the freshmen except for
1)1
" cm-kiness”, breaking Vuic,
otherwise straying from tho straight

Traditions
i..
(Continued from page one)
1 and .the University of Waslungtion
! report the Inter-Collegiate Knights
a very satisfactory organization for
disciplining freshmen.
(5) The “O”.
The “O” on Skinner’s Butte is
maintained and kept painted by the
freshmen class.
It is traditional that the “0” be
j painted at least twice each school
I vear-once on Homecoming and again
on Junior Week-end, also whenever
its appearance warrants it. The
Committee recommends that all sen
timents of hazing be abolished. The
tradition of preserving the “O” is
a Fresh privilege, not a duty, and
should be sustained.
(6)High School Emblems
It is a tradition of Oregon that
| all high school athletic awards, and
j high school pins and rings bo ilis
; ettrded when on the Campus or
! within the environs of the Univer
sity.
HI. ATHLETIC TRADITIONS
(1) Sportsmanship
The true spirit of. sportsmanship
prevails at all athletic contests un
; dor the auspices of the University.
The Committee feels that our stu
dent body should continue its pres
I t*nt well mannered conduct. Qre
I gon athletic squads have always
; deeu sportsmen ‘and have been ac
corded sportsmanlike treatment at
I other universities. Our cheering
•section should emulate this spirit
I as they have in the past by ac
cording every courtesy to officials
ami opposing players in every con
i test. \\ e feel that any disparage
ment of the opponent, the voiced
disapproval of his tactics or the
rigorqus questioning of the offi
cials’ judgment does nothing but
foster ill feeling toward us, em
barrass our teams when they are
visiting und generally label our
University us unsportsmanlike.
(2) No Pigging at Games
X" Oregon man accompanies any
woman to or during an official Uni
versity (also freshman) athletic
contest or rally.
(J) Every University student
supports to the best of Ins abilitv
all official student body contests
and rallies and is present whenever
possible.
(41 All Oregon students stand
in their places and uncover during
the official cheer, the “Oskcy,” nix^
] "lien the Pledge Song (Alma Mater
song) is sung.
i (o) \o Oregoju (student wears
during the school year any athletic
emblem of any high or preparatory
school or college other than the
iOregon “O” within the environs of
the University.
(6) Cheers
The committee believes that the
■lime wml effort displayed by our
cheer leaders in the past lias not
been sutticieut to koop t^ur stan
dard of cheering on the plane that
it should be. With such thought in
mind we make the fallowing recom
mendations to the student council:
(nl Thpt the vheer leader make
a campaign tor now cheers. The
('ommitttv finds that our cheers
have not progressed as have all
‘other phases of our athletic tradi
tions, that they are not modern
amt do not show distinct evidences
of originality.
(1>) That thy cheer I Jade r should
conduct frequent) bally cheer re
hearsals on the athletic field during
the various sport seasons. The
committee feels that our interest in
cheering lias been so lav that many
of olir students do not even learn
our cheers. We believe that fre
quent cheer practises will not only
stfoid students ample opportunity
for learning cheers and facilitate
better rendition, but will nlso yield
encouragement and stimulus to as
infants for team positions.
(>• That card stunts receive
greater attention. The committee
believes that card stunts betwoou
game periods have been unsatis
factory. Saffieint time and effort
have not been given, first, in plau
g -il'd s'; •> and > -end, ill le
learsing or rendering them. We feel
lie appearance of our cheering sec
ions is, in the minds of many prep
jers and alumni, indicative of our
ipirit.
(d) That greater en^pliasis be
placed on stunts between game
periods. The committee finds that
his feature of our contests have
icon woefully neglected. No con
est should be staged without clever
itiuits between periods. They should
lot be left entirely to the Order of
rhe O, but that they are a part of
the official duties of the cheer
leader and his stuff.
(e) That the cheer leader en
force the tradition that undergradu
ates wear rooter’s caps at all of
ficial University contests.
(fj That definite paction b(
tali on by the cheer leader througl
publicity and other means to edu
rate the alumni concerning the
changes from time to time in oui
?hcers.
(g) That the development am
rendition of cheers be not lefl
wholly to the discretion of the eheci
leader and his staff but be en
forced by the student council.
(7) The ‘committee recommends
that the Order of the O maintain
inviolate the tradition that no stu
dent wear a sweater of blue with ai
Oregon emblem of yellow or yellow
stripes, unless he is a member o1
the Order of the O, or has. earn,eel
the right to wear an official mana
Classes for the. making up of
geometry deficiencies will begin
next Monday at 4 p. nt. Tlie classes
will meet in Room Johnson on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Miss Velma Tisdale will be the
instructor in charge of the make
up work.
All senior men are to meet at
Condon hall promptly at 8:15. Don
McCook, president of the senior
class invites any members of the
class of ’27, who may be on the
[ campus to come and help give the
! frosh a square deal, and for all
I1 seniors to come wearing sombreros
stflrs and any other equipment
which might be needed.
Sophomore band men report at
Hayward field with instruments
Saturday 10 a. m.
All band men report to play for
the game at 2 p. ru. at Hayward
field.
All senior men report at Kincaid
gel's sweater or cheer leader’s
sweater. We find that this tradition
has been disturbed, particularly re
garding stripes, and recommend its
strict enforcement by the studcUit
council.
Is there anything at all you are
sure of?
