Denunciation of the policy of the associated students in permitting the freshman class to construct and raze a huge bonfire on the chest of Skinner’s butte lias been evidenced from many pa rental communications to the University of Oregon. Their objec tions are just and perfectly reasonable. They believe that the cold night air and often extreme weather conditions menace the health of their sons and daughters. Obviously this is correct, as dispen sary reports disclose a marked increase in patients. It is the duty of the associated students to remedy this situation and amend the plans in such a manner as to disperse the few strong objections. Still another objection supposedly held by the student affairs committee which recently acted to recommend the exti^tion of the traditional feature of the first-year class is the financial. It is true that much money is expended for the rental on truck and the purchase of oil and other material to create a “greater flame than that which their predecessors provided.” The Emerald opposes any official action to destroy the bonfire as a class tradition. It believes that modifications of the activity and the spectacle itself can be made, decreasing immensely the objections which have been announced. Some form of freshman activity is essential and for this reason the bonfire provides an excellent opportunity to unite the members of the class through a sturdy 100 per cent organization. The Emerald suggests that primarily the size of the fire he restricted to four feet in height with other dimensions, length and width, remaining as before. Throughout previous years the mate rial has been constructed as high as 20 feet, built with solid founda tion, and ability to burn for many, many hours. The public is interested in the fire only during the parade and foundation suffi cient to make a flare of an hour's duration would be obviously adequate. Restricting the height of the fiery emblem would call for less work, hence less time taken in construction and from curricular activities. We suggest that officials allow the freshmen fire builders to work only Thursday afternoon and evening until 9:30 and Friday until the limited height has been reached. A marked reduction in class expenditures would he felt by this revision as the truck rental period and material requirements would be vastly reduced. A slight added expense would be necessary to engage the services of persons who might guard the material throughout Thursday night. Students should not he permitted to do this as one major objection may be traced to this point. Too, we believe it is one of the bonfire’s detrimental features. The bonfire should live. The time has not yet come for Us death ceremony. Returning alumni will be looking for it. The freshman class demands it. We believe we have outlined a satis factory program by which the tradition may continue. We Like ’Em OREGON students have responded very well to the attempt of the rally committee to secure better organization for pep rallies ] this year and the novel idea of a rally dance before a game proved very successful yesterday. The floor was crowded with happy stu dents dancing to the music of a real campus band not the hap hazard organization that has characterized these affairs in past years and everybody had an enjoyable time. The Emerald is in favor of the continuance of similar affairs before important games to take the place of spontaneous, unor ganized rallies which have demoralized classes after a triumph over a major football foe. We feel that pep should be displayed before and during the game and if Oregon wins we should act like college men and women after the victory and not be swayed by the primi tive mob instinct to have a few hundred students disrupt the aca demic work of the majority. Oregon women should enter into the spirit of the. rally dances more than they have done and if they will do their part and attend the aifairs the dances will be even more enjoyable. Friday after noon there were several score of men in attendance more than women with the resulting congestion of long lines of "stags.” If enough spirit is shown the rally dance of today may develop into regular.all-campigi dance.-, in the future to enable the students at Oregon to become better acquainted in an informal way. Since we have discovered that the bandmen walked 11 miles i while in Portland last week-end, a suggestion might be made to purchase bicycles for each man. Handle bars provide an excellent base for music lyres. Headline in Emerald: CHECK REVEALS OVER 700 DADS TO COME HERE. Our dads used to write notes on the reverse of our monthly allowances, too. Among constructive suggestions we wish to add that the Dell, should consider purchasing a new burglar alarm. CAMPUS ♦ ALENDAR Drama group of Philomelete meets Sunday from 3 to 4 at the Y hut.

We suggest that the students pay an extra fee for the purchase of a new “Welcome, Oregon Dads” sign in place of the old one which has seen service for the last ten years. PROPER PROCEDURE OF THE DAY 1. Arise bright and early, cut all your morning classes on the pretext that you have to meet Dad, dress yourselves in your old est clothes and put clothespins on your face in order to give it that pinched look, and then, when you see Dad, impress upon him your dire need and then cautiously ma neuver the loan of a few dollars. 2. Take Dad to lunch and have to sit through the embarrassment of your fraternity brothers’ man ners, and take pains to cover up the soup spots on the table cloth. After lunch is the proper time to have the friends, whom, of course you have previously bribed, walk up to your father and tell him how hard you have been studying, and what a quiet, studious life you have been leading. 3. After this, be nonchalant when Dad walks into the room and sees all the dance programs and restaurant menus, not to men tion the compacts and vanity cases which are suspended above your desk. Hurriedly explain this off by saying that you have an agency for them and these are a few of the samples. 4. Attend the game and go through the embarrassment of having a couple of profs sitting in front of you discussing your case. 5. Back to the house where Dad understands and writes out a lit le check. Dad’s a great old scout.

Power's Furniture Co. 11th and Willamette Streets Father Travels From Afar; Finds Son in Infirmary C. A. Stutsman, municipal judge of Los Angeles, arrived in Eugene yesterday expecting to spend Dad’s Day with his son, CarL He learned, however, that his son was ill in the University infirmary. Carl wanted his dad to be on the campus Friday and Saturday, so the news of his illness had been kept as a secret. It is believed that Stutsman has traveled farther than any other dad for the celebration. The trip from Los Angeles is over 1,100 miles. Stutsman naturally was sur prised to find his son ill, but he took the shock with a smile. He will celebrate Dad’s Day just the same, by adopting Carl’s room mate, Edward Wagner. They will attend the football game and ban quet together. Carl and his dad will celebrate, too, but not on the campus. The Californian likes Oregon, but no. the rainy weather. He naturally said a few kind words for his home state, sunny Califor nia. Stutsman found the Univer sity of Oregon campus to his lik ing. To attend such a university would be a thrill for any boy. He added that the Emerald was cer tainly a wide-awake looking paper. Mr. Stutsman plans to leave Eu gene Monday provided his son im proves. This afternoon Carl was moved to the Pacific Christian hospital, where he is resting easy. 'Remove Your Lid’ Is Infirmary Edict pRESHMEN who walk into the infirmary must do so minus their green lids. Such is the ultimatum as laid down by Mar garet Calahan, nurse in charge, “Oregon’s traditions will be up held here as elsewhere on the campus,’’ said the nurse to a certain wandering freshman who happened to forget to remove his lid when he entered the infirm ary. Which goes to prove that a freshman leads a dog’s life even in the halls of mercy. i Sociology Group Hears Jameson Professor Speaks About ‘Unprintable Book’ Dr. Samuel H. Jameson, associ ate professor of sociology, spoke on the subject, “An Unprintable Text Book,” at the meeting of Alpha Kappa Delta, national so ciology honorary, Thursday night. Dr. Jameson explained that the unprintable text book was the world as it is. He described the world as he saw it when he was a professor on the first floating uni versity, which sailed around the world in 1927. “We always see everything on the surface,” he said, “which fre quently deludes us.
