From beneath the slow grind ing wheels of evolutionary progress throughout the nation is coming a new spirit in fraternity initiations—a spirit which is doing away with injurious hazing and useless waste writings for some time. With its death, the critics also pre dicted the passing of the freshman parades and barbarism be tween undergraduate classes. The millennium which they foresee 1ms nothing of the lioodlmnistic which lent the color to old-time collegium).. At the University of Southern California an intorfrnternity council committee is discussing the probabilities of abolishing such a period as “bell week.” Serious problems arising from this period of fraternity initiations have been of such a nature that at the national conventions of the major fraternities there lias been a successful movement completed to abolish hectic hazing of neophytes. Fraternities at Michigan State college were dealt u blow last week when the interfraternity council prohibited any require ments for initiation which “interfere in any way with regular study hours or college duties of pledges or which will involve any physical or nervously exhausting task.” These two schools are not alone in this giant movement. It is not ion-wide. Like an octopus, it is crushing down the funda njcntalist who bewails the “soft time” that pledges arc having ill comparison to his day. Fraternities have brought it upon themselves. Were it, not for the injuries and physical harm done to pledges the past few years, such a concerted move against pre-initiation hazing. would not he under way. No one can deny that it is a tendency toward the better. It falls info line with Ihe other trends of modern college life; with llif' gradual abolition of intcrelass hatreds, interschool rivalries which are fostered mostly on newspaper sports pages, and the decline of “college spirit ” in the old sense of the word. Unacknowledged though it he hv many, one of the hash reasons for the growing unpopularity of extensive pre-initiation ; rites is a selfish one—fraternityites are loath to devote so much of their time to such pastimes which net them nothing hut the! primal thrill'which the cave-man experienced when lie heat out tilt' brains of a wild pig with a knotted club. The interfraternity council at tin1 University is among the most progressive in this respect, last year having passed a rest* 1 ill ion abolishing all forms of unusual init iatory procedure. Oregon fraternities have been actively supporting this progres sive1'move this year. Midnight jaunts and extensive paddling sessions are fast becoming archaic. Chess is an intramural sport in the Middle West. At Oregon the week-ends are so broken up by Saturday classes it is doubt ful that the sport could he indulged in. Thought: Where did Hawaii get that nickname? Who ever heard of rainbows roaring? Day Editor.Elise Schroeder Night Editor.Warner Guiss Assistant Night Editors Thornton Gale, Myrl Lindley, June Manion <( Hell Week” on Death Bed Campus Forum BAROMETER ON WARPATH To the Editor: With the Oregon-Oregon State football game ten days past and everything forgotten except the Score, the Oregon State Barom eter is still digging into the dark and dismal (for O. S. C.) past and publishing front page editorials about apple cores thrown at the O. S. C. bench and the lack of hot lunches for press box deni zens. All of which seems rather trivial as subjects for editorials. Considering the character of the game (from a Corvallis stand point) going on on the gridiron, it probably is not surprising that the Barometer editorial writer noticed all the tilings transpiring off the field. — XYZ. TRIP A REWARD? To the Editor: The university authorities have decided that the trip to Florida shall he in the form of a reward to the members of the football squad \\ ho have kepi up in their scholastic work. Thus it seems probable that three men will be kept from the line-up of the Ore gonians at Miami. Perhaps this is perfectly fair to all concerned. Yet we have two football men, who having fulfilled the require ments set down by the faculty, will remain in Eugene. They have kept up their class work and are as deserving of this “inter sectional game reward” as much as any other Webfoot player. No, they cannot go to Florida because it would not be good policy to take colored boys. Is the inter-sectional game a reward? I can only say NO. For a reward cannot be kept from some and given to others when ail are on equal standing under the terms of the reward. If the policy of the university is to obtain games in the east as reward, then such games as will allow all eligibles to play, should be scheduled. If on the other hand Oregon will get games to add to her fame, then she better allow all regulars to participate wheth er in Florida or Eugene. M.
