Mitchelmore Assistant Night Editors—Glenn Gall SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 Traditions Cant Be Kept as Pets TT is the lioydey of the purely col legiate. And the only law that 'campus day ebullition recognizes is tradition. Everything .... everything from the chicken salad menu which per haps is the oldest, down to ducking Pat Morrissette, comparatively re cent, the program sweeps along without, a hitch. Plans have been made, necessarily, but they woulif make a bare skeleton without the happy traditional interludes. And, bear in mind, the traditions com mittee does not call signals. Yesterday we saw the campus frolicking tirelessly. Probably the boys were showing off even morn than usual because so many mothers were here. And, too, the gayoty of emancipated freshmen always puts a kick in the mixture.but there again, it is all tradition. This little preacUgicnt is directed to those who insist on telling us that traditions must bo enforced. Absurd. The Emerald dares anyone to even go near one of those tradi tions that was turning the best men on the campus upside down. (-.Jack Iienefiel excluded). They have more vitality and a lot more authority than they had ’way back when Dean Straub wore whiskers. After yesterday’s exhibition of tradition rampant., will anyone have the temerity to rise and suggest that Oregon shall adopt this or that; reject this or that? Wo sooner ex pect to see a natural law repealed than that stupid tradition about wearing neckties at campus lunch eons. The Emerald is all for traditions that work; but we don’t want any more spoon-fed hot house invalids that never will stand this climate. We haven’t a mite t*f respect for any tradition that will only appear when someone snaps his fingers; it’s like a trick dog turning flip-flops. Anyone who was on the campus yesterday must have seen plenty of evidence to prove that nil this twaddle about how many traditions we better inaugurate next year is just that twaddle. You can’t keep a good tradition down. Spirit of Shark Captured in Print TTObUilE 1, number I, ol' Shark " Spirit surprised the school of journalism yesterday. Shack Spirit, il must lie explained since the fame of the diminutive newspaper has not had time to spread, is the “house organ of the class iu elementary newswriting. ” (For consistency’s sake, we should have called it a “shack organ”). In make-up, Shack Spirit flatters the Emerald in what is conceded to he the sincerest manner; this alone merits our attention. But in addi tion to this important aspect, the I clean-cut editing and the racy flavor of the news—which has to do with happenings around the journalism school with special emphasis on what a young reporter should know —justifies approbation. The Emer ald’s regards to Editor W. J. Cohagan. Blame It On the Weather r I Ml A la, tra !e! Spring has come! We are able to say so without uuv impediment to speech because of colds. The weather man acted in a most noble fashion and gave us a beautiful day on which to begin Junior Week-end, Why! the day was positively glorious! It was more than an ordinary spring day, more like summer. We repeat. It was a fine day. Sunshine, a blue skv, a few feathery clouds, gentle breezes, and all that. The tug-of-war was a colorful affair. The burning of the green lids was a hot party. The exhibition tennis matches drew frequent applause. The campus luncheon has a place all its own. If anyone didn’t get enough to eat it was his own fault. If he didn’t like what he had to eat he never will be satisfied with any feast prepared outside of the kitch ens of fairy land. If he ate too much—well, who’s to judge! As we said before, the weather was Ideal. The ball game was a humdinger. (Oregon won). Besides entertaining the crowd with numer ous protests of the umpire’s deci sions, the boys from O. K. ('. demon strated that they feel quite at home in O. A. C. uniforms. As for the track meet between our frosh and the Husky babes, and tin' Phantom Fete, we leave the telling of those events to others. Anyone who has read down to here is entitled to an explanation. It’s like this. The editor suggested that since it was such a beautiful spring day, a sappy editorial would be appropriate. We have purposely omitted reference to the birds and bees and budding trees filled with sap and lmve come to the end of our space. Anyway, it was a nice day. W.

CAMPUS COP” NOT SPARED FROM WATERS OF FOUNTAIN Nicotine Bench “Speed Observer” Duly Punished “All work and no play makes of Jack a dull boy.” Maybe it isn’t work that he does and maybe he can’t bo called a boy, but anyway, students thought yes terday that a dip in the fountain wouldn’t hurt the new “Campus Cop” who sits all day long on a hard bench and watches automobiles go by.
