CIMPLTCITY in dress habits of students at the university lias u often been eoniinended by outsiders. Expensive everyday attire is a tiling unknown on flic rumpus, both for men and co-eds. Corduroy pants liave been flic heritage of upperclassmen for many years and have saved hundreds of dollars in cleaners and pressers bills. Sweaters and inexpensive shoes are also items which help the college student from running into too many expenses which will make college prohibitive. The action of the sophomores in selecting whipcord trousers and the freshmen in choosing “tin pants” as their official class garb is another step in the direction of keeping college from becoming a formal dress affair. lint, while all this array of cords, whipcords, sweaters and tin pants is an admirable way to get around the clothing bill and commendable in itself, one item is to be considered appropriateness of dress. There is a time and place for everything, but the time and place for campus clothes is not at the more formal functions of the university. College students have a great lesson to learn "when it comes to synchronizing their dress habits with Hie fit ness of the occasion. This does not, mean the knowledge of when to wear tan gloves and when to don grey. It means the realization that a suit, and necktie are “a la mode” certain times and at others that informal togs are the thing to wear. At. times when the university is putting on a show of a formal nature for the outside world to see and when people from Eugene and other cities in the state are present, then it is the cue of the students to dress up a hit for the occasion and not, givy them the impression that, college is the place where stutfents wear out their old (dollies. “PVRKST 1 road That Freshman Ceremonial RESTIMAN Inaugural Will He Substitute for l’arado” j l a liondlino in yesterday morning's Emerald, I Inis' marking tlio passing of 1 lie traditional old pa nidi* np Skinner’s j ibiitto and tin* birth of a now Iradition. This afternoon betwot*n the halves of the Willametti* foot j hall game, the freshmen will niareh across the gridiron, led by f Mie university band and accompanied by the Oregon Knights and Order of the “O.” At the foot of the president’s box they will gather for the ceremony of officially placing on their heads the verdant lid of an ()regon frosh. The former custom of initiating the yearlings into the ranks of the college man by liberal paddling is being replaced with a serious ceremonial, which, sponsors hope, will be much more impressive and have a more lasting effect on the fresh men than the session on the butte. dust how this ceremony will be taken remains to be seen. The Emerald makes no predictions as to the success of the veil turft. It hopes for the best, but it feels college students are too blase and a bit too sophisticated to enter into the spirit of the oyjeasion as might younger people or adults. The ceremony will go off all right. There is no doubt of that. The Knighis and Order of the “O” will set* to that. Hut in heftier t he purpose of it all instilling respect into the i’resli jmen is put over, cannot lie foretold. It is but an experiment, and as experiments go, a good one. The Emerald hopes for its ultimate success. A young lady professor at an eastern university says hand shakes earn disease. She is speaking generally, of course. Specifically, there are handshakes that don’t carry anything even conviction. We will have more to say about these after open house t his week-end. Now that the world moving ipiestion of whipcords or no whipcords for the sophomore men is derided it will be good to settle back in our seats and relax a bit.

As a clever and amusing comment on modern convention it is well worth one's time, hut as a textbook on philosophy it would be misleading, to say the least. The mythical Silenus, in a ser ies of letters to his friend Clio, points out in entertaining fashion the whys and wherefores of this game of love. The result is a series of highly amusing and satir ical episodes dealing with people would couldn't -be real. But that is beside the point. Of course there couldn't be a wife as patient and persevering as Penelope, a temptress as alluring as Lavina, or a husband as susceptible or lov able as Louis. But that doesn’t matter, for the flavor of this novel lies not in its plot, but in the so phisticated philosophy of Silenus. Mr. Crofton’s little book spark les with a brilliance of wit that is animated and invigorating. It may be, as said, “a guide to hus bands, wives, and lovers,” but— At any rate, read it. You'll en joy it. —R. G. * * * PIGSKIN By CHARLES W. FERGUSON Charles W. Ferguson, who last year wrote “The Confusion of Tongues," a brilliant and fearless qp.

Eugene Steam Laundry Phone 123 study of the various religious sects in America which won high praise from critics both in this country and in England, has written in “Pigskin,” his first novel—a sa tire of the American college presi dent—which Doubleday Doran will publish on October 31st. Ever since the appearance of “Babbitt,” the critics haye been asking that the portrait of the college presi dent be done. And now Mr. Fer guson has done it with grace, good humor, and gusto in this history of Horace Ethelmore Dickey, his deeds and misdeeds. The story concerns itself with administra tive intrigue, the pathetic scram ble for funds, the quest for more students and more buildings, and with the decisive importance that football has come to play in the administration of a modern uni versity, where pigskin seems to have replaced sheepskin as the eventual goal.
