Useless Traditions Facing Guillotine
T Tl’ AT our friendly rival’s campus, tlie I Diversity of Wash
^ ington, (lie oft-recurring problem, “Wluit about traditions
—if any?” tv as brought to a head and freshmen called upon
1o vole upon the question of whether1 they wanted them or not.
The traditions placed on the “block” were green lids, srook
ving cigarettes on campus, walking on grass, frosh men talking
1o women on campus, silting in balcony at assemblies, wearing
cords, and frosh loitering on the steps of a campus building.
"When tin* votes Were* counted it was found that three oi the
measures had lost. Then the Knights of the lloolc took the
surprising stand that no matter how the freshmen voted, they
were going to have to obey all of the traditions, .lust what
use the vote was is left to conjecture. It may serve only as a
good index to the feelings of the “goat” under Ihe figurative
lash.
On the Oregon' campus, the powers-that-hc are wondering
just what traditions to keep and which to discard. When the
frosh parade and class mix passed by the hoards Ibis fall many
moans were beard from fraternities and balls. “The school s
going to the dogs” were the words in the most mouths.
Those same howlers probably hake forgotten their woes and
reconciled themselves to the sad (state of affairs. Over the
country the trend is away from old traditions which had to do
with hazing and the development of more useful, constructive
ones, .lust, ..ently Oregon Inis instituted several—Dad’s Day,
“crowning” of 1lie freshmen, Mother’s Day—and they will last
for they are of tin* latter category.
Oregon and the Tlmerald are interested in the rise and fall
of traditions here and elsewhere. The university is in the van
guard on the coast in 1ln* mutter of junking the useless and
creating constructive traditions.
Long beards are the- style 'in at least t wo university campi
that we know of. At Indiana the men are sworn to forgo tin*
razor lrntil Ihelloosiers win a football game or until three days
after the l’urdue game. At Washington, sophomores are hav
ing a contest to grow tin* longest soup-strainers and tie
protectors. Women, are' going hack to long skirts again.
Thought: Can it. he that fashions are on the backward trend
again? Make way for peg-top pants and bussles.
At Indiana their Dad’s day exercises are combined with a
Doy Scouts’ day and more than (i.()()() kliaki-ehul scouts attended
the university’s week-end program. Not a had tradition to
start here at Oregon,
A famous explorer tells us that one of the fastest creatures
on earth is a lion in the last 100 yards of its charge upim an
enemy. That’s one statement we’ll never attempt to prove for
ourselves.
One of the biggest arguments that baseball as a sport is on
the decline might he the fact that D50 ball teams started play
ing winter ball down in the !Sau Francisco hay regions Ihe
other day.
A typical sleeper lies in nine different positions during a
night, say psychologists. That makes us college students about
as shifty as some politicians wo know.
You can tell a modern co-ed from an old-fashioned one. The
latter can put the cups and saucers away without asking where
they belong.

HAZING OF FRESHMEN
(Georgetonian)
Tin1 hazing of freshmen, curbed I
to such a degree in Georgetown '
that it has become practically
negligible, is still in such evidence |
as to create quite a bit of interest
in an otherwise conventional rou
tine. Evidence of the past week
or so point out the fact that haz
ing is still being carried on to such
a degree that it is very unpleasant
to the more conventional persons.
There is no contention that haz
ing in its milder forms is harmful
or that evidence of harm is to be
seen immediately, neither can it
be said to be beneficial only in the
most extreme cases. The practice
seems to possess a revengeful na
ture in that the upperclassmen are
merely passing on what was hand- i
ed to them when they were fresh- I
men. The reviling and reproach-1
ing received by the uninformed un
derclassmen serves only to instill
in them a feeling of revulsion for
the instigators and incitors of their
discomfort and embarrassment.
If the freshmen need be taught
to shed their high school charac
teristics and grow up in the hab
its and customs of a school of high
er learning, could not their in
struction and initiation be done in
a sympathetic Jundly and more
lasting manner Instead of in mock
ery, roughness and vulgarity that
breathes of uncivilized refinement
and learning?
Colleges and universities in all
parts of the nation are beginning
to realize the futility and ill-neces
sity of freshman hazing. It would
be well to dispel the freshn an daze
with a kindly instructive word and
thus eliminate the all too unpleas
ant freshman days.

Coach Prink Callison of the
freshman football team last night
spent the practice session smooth
ing the rough spots which were ;
uncovered in the contest with
Washington last Saturday.
Thcugh the Yearlings came out
on top of the contest there were
many things which can be im
proved upon. The Purple and
Gold ends and tackles frequently
broke through, to stop the Frosh
plays before they had had a
chance to get under way and
Prink is using the time between
now and Friday to eliminate this
weakness.
Johnny Hare, Jack Hughes, Bill 1
Morgan and Sherwood Billings,
who suffered injuries in the Babe
game, were all out for practice
last night., although they did not
take part in the rougher portions
of the afternoon’s entertainment.
Replacing them in the lineup dur
ing the scrimmages were Bob
Larson, Bill Bowerman, Carson
Mathews and Fred Clift. With the
exceptions mentioned the team i
lines up as it started against
Washington, there being no
changes in the backfield and no
other changes in the line.
At 2 o’clock today Sam Wilder
man, news director of the A. S.
U. O., will be on hand to take
pictures of the Frosh backfield
men and at 4 o’clock will take the
team as it lined up last Saturday.

OREGON RESEARCH
ARTICLE PRINTED
"Pelecypodo of the Coos Bay
Region” is the title of an article
in the current issue of "Nautilus,”
a. quarterly magazine devoted to
the interests of conchologists,
which was written by H. B. Yo-1
com and E. R. Edge of the animal
biology department.
For the benefit of the uniniti
ated, pelecypodo are bi-valves and
vi-valves are such things as clams,
mussels, and rock oysters. The
original, research, which covered
the summers of 1926 an*l 1927,
included the listing of the .kinds of
bi-valves found, and the kind of
places in which they wete found.
The article in the “Nautilus,”
however, deals mostly with the
taxonomy, or listing, of, the thirty
nine different types of. pelecypodo
which were found in that region.
