DEFERRED pledging gives a freshman a chance to know his fraternity and allows the fraterni ties a period of time to survey the prospective pledges. It enables a freshman to orient himself to uni versity life. It promotes the scholastic standing of the fresh man. Those are arguments cited in favor of deferred pledging in a recent series of articles printed by the Emerald in an effort to "educate” the campus as to what deferred pledging is. Now the Emerald wants to know what the men of the campus think of deferred pledging—whether they think it is worthwhile or not. Starting today the paper is conducting a poll to find out what campus sentiment is among Greeks and independ ents. For their own benefit, men of the University should be interested in deferred pledging. That such a system may be inaugurated on the Oregon campus soon is not impossible and higher authori ties of the school are studying its strong and weak points right now. All arguments are not in favor of this delayed system of rushing. Many schools where it is in use declare that it is a financial strain on the fra ternities, that it is difficult to preserve honor among fraternities and curb “dirty” rushing during the period of probation prior to pledging, or that fraternities have a distinct benefit which they can give to the unformed, immature freshman. Others declare that the longer pledging the more “chesty" the freshmen become. The Emerald is not “sold” on either side. Be cause it believes that men students are interested in their own financial welfare as woll as the future well-being of freshmen who will enter the Univer sity, it is conducting a poll on campus opinion re garding deferred pledging that it may be able to say to the University authorities either “Oregon men are for deferred rushing” or else “deferred pledging is disliked on this campus.” Since these authorities have such a move under consideration, the Emerald feels that it is the duty of the paper, representing the students, to sound out and report on what Oregon men think of the radical change in fraternity and dormitory life. Prevent, Then Penalize PREVENTION originally meant “going before,” niul prevention of illegal voting at student elec tions would mean getting ahead of the repeater, setting up burs against his voting for others, and watching that those bars are not let down. But there is another word besides prevention. Students too politically excited will, like other beasts of burden, press hard against any fence set to keep them from green, lush, unused ballots. When prevention fails, penalty might be a good word to use a good action to practice. Penalty is not such a harsh word, either, when students do deliberately set about to dishonestly place a candidate in office. Their only purpose is to displace one who may be honestly elected, else there is no reason for so stuffing the ballot-box. Though their success be small, a few votes often determine the winners. Whether or not it requires constitutional amend ment (such a pity to suggest changes in that virgin document!), it might help to withdraw all A. S. U. O. privileges from those found guilty. Surely some would be found guilty if the election boards cared to carry out their duty to the full. They do not seem to care to do that. Now, with prevention, the Emerald suggests penalty. It suggests that election boards do their duty—prevent, and if possible, penalize. Rats of Hamlin THE perils of being a hale-fellow-well-met, at least on the Atlantic seaboard, as brought out in a recent magazine article, are almost equal to those endured by Jesse Jameses or Searface Als or newly rich country bumpkins. Racketeers of the feminine gender who prey on unsuspecting- college boys, alcoholically incapaci tated or otherwise, are making their appearance to harass the night life of Eastern collegians. Take for instance the young women who collect college boys’ addresses when they visit speakeasies and later pay collection calls on them on their re spective campi, accumulating a stray watch or ring or pin on the sly. Or the sister racketeer who takes inebriated youths home in a taxi operated by her husband and relieves them of their valuable en route. Those are just a couple of examples of the hard life that college men are forced to live in the met ropolitan centers and perhaps the rube regions. In a way it is too bad, and yet it seems that men must learn some day how to take care of them selves and especially their money. The existence of human harpies is unfortunate. This type of vulture flocks to the sound of gold much as the rats of Hamlin answered the call of the Pied Piper, but neither the harpies nor the rats fear the river ahead until the waters close around them. Senior Men’s Banquet THAT graduates from university and college may go out to seek their fortunes with pleasant memories of their college days and a desirable mental attitude toward the school, the nation’s in stitutions of higher learning each year prepare im pressive exercises for graduation. Besides these rituals, many have traditions and functions which are aimed to build up a class spirit in the graduating group. Senior class functions are popular at many universities about the United States. At Oregon the senior co-eds were guests at a senior women's banquet given in their honor by the American Association of University Women. Here the seniors get a chance to mix with other women of their class and know each other better. They also acquire a knowledge of the work of the asso ciation which banquets them. Senior men have no opportunity for such a social gathering on this campus. The benefits to be real ized from a stag banquet where all the men could intermingle and enjoy a few hours of informal meet ing cannot be gainsaid. No extensive speech making or political maneuvering would be desirable on the program, the chief value being in the social get-together. Whether this could be financed out of the $250 still remaining in the senior class treasury or should be "dutch treat” is beyond the jurisdiction of this publication to decide. Ours is but to suggest. The idea of such a banquet might be profitably taken up at the University. It won't be long now before the reporting classes will be going downtown to put out the papers for a day. Why not have the editors who come down here each February for a conference try their hands at putting out the Emerald for a day ? Wesleyan staged a needle-threading contest to see which co-ed was the fastest at that homely task. They did not announce how many failed to even thread the needle. Yale students are collecting dog skulls. There are lots of dog skulls running around the Oregon campus we’d like to give them with the dog still wrapped around them.

"... It holds the avowed intention of combat ing bobbed hair, card playing, theaters, dancing, petting, smoking and worldly dress. No girl may become a member whose tresses are not at least in the growing stage, a requirement in accordance with the ‘crowning glory’ of Biblical fame ..." "... like a lot of reform groups, these people are going too far, and that alone will ruin their chances of doing good . . . “What in the name of common sense is the harm in cutting one’s hair short, seeing a show, dancing, smoking or dressing comfortably? All these things merely add a little pleasure to what would, without them, be a drab existence. "But to a 'Holiness' league the word pleasure represents all that is bad and to be shunned, except the pleasure they get from making others' lives miserable with their reforms ...” It's almost a safe bet that entrance into the mystic "Holiness League" can be gained only by filling out a pledge slip containing, among others, the following option: "I am a fanatic”-. "I am a hypocrite” “Check one. You are now eligible for admission to the exalted Holiness League.” Somebody has been trying to fill us with naughty, unpatriotic and positively inartistic propa ganda against the Canoe Fete. Now isn't that fierce? It is real ly hard to conceive of anyone cpiite so narrow minded as to say that it is not worth good money to sit out on'the mill race bleach ers for several hours watching an occasional pile of brightly be smeared gauze and plaster come sailing majestically by, sometimes with shivering nymphs, or Apolks sprawling in the most appropriate places upon them. * * * That is why the Seers have gotten up a symposium of cam pus opinion on the subject—just because it seemed beyond com prehension how such a rumor that the Canoe Fete was actu ally lieing criticized could pos sibly have got its start. (The campus will bo glad to know that there was no foun dation for the rumor; the fol lowing symposium proves that.) “The most stupendous spectacle I ever hope to behold,” says Philo sofickal Pete, business ad major. “And the most super-binocular part of it if you get what I mean is the simply terrific and amaz ingly astonishing manner in which the management of the show goes about creating the ultra-dramatic suspense for the enraptured audi ence. “You know,’’ Pete continues, “We have always been very for tunate in our Canoe Fete com mittees. I can remember of not one that has defiled that most sacred rule of art—suspense. That is one thing we are always given in generous portions, half hours of it at a time! Even long er than that, if the crowd seems to demand it. Yes, suspense is my favorite dish.” (He means spinach.) * * “Eek! Horrors!” said Little Blue Eyes. ‘‘It can't be true! No one would dare criticize that adorable Canoe Fete. Why why —there was the darlingest man riding in one of the canoes last time. And you know, he was so cold. And I felt so sorry for him, I wanted to go right out there and give him our blanket. Wouldn’t that have been nice ? But, of course, I had to wait till the show was all over. I adore Canoe Fetes!” “There’s one thing about it,” said Professor Tablecloth, “it is apt to choke us to death if we do not first remove the contents from the container. Heh, Heh. Tee hee. Is there anything else I can do for you, young man?— What’s that? Canoe Fete! My goodness, I thought you said canned fish. Oh, no, no—1 never saw one of those.” CAMPUS Bulletin^ \V. A. A.
