Vote Today in Primaries
POLITICS of a character less interesting to the
average college student, but more vital to the
community and the state as a whole, come to a
close today with the primary elections for the
gubernatorial race next fall.
Students at a university or college as a rule are
little interested in what goes on around the state.
Their whole life and interests are centered on the
campus and world events run a poor second to col
lege news when the student spends his leisure time
keeping abreast of the times.
A few, it is true, keep in close touch with the
trends of government and international affairs, but
they are few enough that critics of college students
do not even consider them when they condemn
higher institutions of learning as ‘'self-centered."
Tariff, immigration, prohibition, income tax, and
labor problems cannot compete in the student inter
est with classes, assignments, dates, dances, or
sports. Newspaper courses teach one that people
are most interested in things which directly con
cern them. With a full curriculum of academic
activities and social functions right on their own
university campus, there is little inclination for a
student to turn liis eyes beyond those boundaries,
if indeed he had time.
Because of several local conditions interest on
the campus in the primary elections this year has
been higher than usual. The Emerald lias tried to
help tHis along by printing interviews with various
candidates for governorship as they visited the
campus.
It is expected that there will be no trouble from
challenging when the students go to the polls to
day. Census difficulties have been ironed out. Stu
dents should remember their duty as citizens of
the state and vote today.
Traditions Junk Heap
BUSTLES went out of style long ago. “Rats"
for milady’s hair are passe. High shoes were
buried, “wasp” waists abandoned, bicycles outgrown,
and buggies adorned the junk heaps. All this
metamorphosis of social America did not take place
without a struggle. A few who lived more in retro
spect than the present and future stuck as long
as they could, but the march of progress soon wore
out even the staunchest. New things are replacing
the old.
So with college traditions. Harsh and useless
ones arc being abandoned daily. The campuses of
America are littered with the slain.
Many college men regret the passing of sopho
more-freshman rivalries, which are being abandoned
on many sides. Just a short time ago the Univer
sity of New Hampshire abolished the frosh cap
burning ceremonies.
Fence rushes, cap-burning, class dinners and
other pleasantries have long constituted an integral
part of campus life in ttie country with the possible
exception of Harvard. A few black eyes and bruised
physiognomies brought about the abolition of the
fence-rush at Yale recently.
As American youth becomes more and more
sophisticated it tends to look with disfavor on the
rivalries and intense hatreds of classes within the
s>--------—.—
schools. College authorities bemoan the diminution
of school spirit with this trend. But the change
is all a part of the slow process of evolution in
which human life alters itself to fit existing con
ditions. Were there not something basically wrong
with some traditions they would not be abolished.
Those worthwhile remain and in the places of the
old, discarded ones new traditions are created. To
day’s college student is just as busy doing things
which take his time from his studies as was Dink
Stover at Yale with his football and rushes and
parties. Activities are not changing in number,
only in character.
Pepping up Commencement
JUNIOR WEEK-END has come and gone. To
many it means the last of festivities for this
college year, but in truth ft. is a forerunner to one
of the greatest occasions in a University career.
This occasion is one looked forward to with little
enthusiasm, and should, no doubt, be the most im
portant.
That occasion is Commencement. Seniors pa
rade with cap and gown and await eremonies for
rade with cap and gown and await ceremonies for
to those participating. Their parents attend to see
sons and daughters honored. To the other students,
over two thousand of them, it is an occasion rarely
witnessed until they themselves don the solemn
gown.
An uninteresting time it is, even for those par
ticipating, but even more uninteresting is it for the
students who would like to remain on the campus.
Could not some University activity be postponed
to attract every student to Commencement cere
monies ? In the event that no affair of interest
to all could be scheduled, it may be possible to ar
range further entertainment to the seniors who
must stay.
To make the ceremonies grand and impressive
as they should be, an audience is needed. Some
must witness the honoring of those receiving their
degrees, and the younger students those should be.
To make it the greatest event of the year it must
be livened up and made attractive by means of
substituting festivities for long waits between cere
monies. Let's transfer some of our interesting af
fairs for the last big splurge.
—V. H.
The new ruling making it possible for the coach
to refuse an Oregon sweater’ to any athlete on his
team whom he judges has not earned it, regardless
of time played, is all right except that we wouldn’t
want to be the coach when he refused a letter to
some athlete who had earned one.
The money that sends the student to college
comes from business occupations of “pa,” says the
Washington Daily. Thereby proving that few come
to college whose fathers make a living with a cup
and a monkey.

COLLEGE HUMOR MAGAZINES
(Idaho Argonaut)
College humor publications no longer enjoy the
popularity they did a few years ago. Every week
or so reports come in of another quarterly or
monthly being discontinued indefinitely. At several
places where the magazines were not junked they
were the subject of discussion, much of which was
against their being retained. The fad is waning as
all fads wane. College humor publications are
largely a matter of tradition and “keeping up with
the Jones's." One or two colleges started them
and the rest of the student world fell in line. For
a time they were representative college humor pub
lications. Recently they have entered the same field
with professional humor periodicals and have copied
the style of the common newsstand youthful
humor stuff. Collegians are distressed by the fact
that these professional sheets distort college life
and thought, but they do their best to copy the
worst examples of false representations. A college
humor publication has to print the newest, hottest,
wildest tid-bits of the moment to be a financial
success. Literary copy doesn’t take well. A few
hundred campusites will glance through a serious
short story by a contemporary student while thou
sands will tramp over each other to read a bit of
late dirt or a sexy wise crack.
A year or two ago the Washington State college
"Cougar's Paw" was stricken from the list of stu
dent publications.
Only last week the Minnesota board of publica
tions decided that "Ski-U-Mah” will be given an
other year’s grace.
Idaho’s Blue Bucket is in similar difficulties
not from a moral point of view, but on financial
standing. Several types of humor have been at
tempted in the three issues this year. The right
note does not seem to have been struck. No mat
ter how tame or how wild the Bucket is, there is
no mad demand for the copies. The editors have
put out creditable issues that compare favorably
with any other college publication of its size and
uiture. Still, there are a hundred or so copies of
nearly every number left over.
The last issue for the year will come out within
a few days. If it gets over, well and good. If it
puts the A. S. U. I. further in the hole, action will
probably be taken to decrease the number of issues
or remove it altogether.
If the campus wants the Bucket to continue,
give it a little help. It can't run on laughs and
spring weather.
