It’s Your School PLEDGE day on the University campus is a day set aside to honor Oregon, to build up faith in its expediences, and to organize a spirit of interest and good-will in the community of students. Tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock a pledge day assembly will be held in McArthur court. At this assembly noted men of Oregon will be present. Their subjects will be of special interest to students who are desirous of hearing something real, learning to build the intellect, and advancing themselves by facilities so offered by the University administration. Will students attend this assembly ? True, there have been pro grams proffered to students who have not accepted. Programs have been equal to the one promised lor Thursday morning. Does this mean that the student, a member of the Oregon association designed to advance learning, will not grasp the opportunity to feed his mind upon something worth while? He will eat spinach because he be lieves it good for him, he will run ten laps on the track because he believes it will build his body, but the mentality may grow gant because he would rather loaf by the fireplace. At the assembly Thursday morning- some of the greatest minds of the state will be opened before the audience. As guest speakers, Governor Norblad and Frank Irvine of the Oregon Journal will hold the floor. The Emerald suggests that the winning candidate in the race for governor of tlie state of Oregon be extended an invitation to appear before the students. The next first man of the state before the University scarcely a day after his triumph. He would do it, he should do if because among them are citizens of Oregon who j soon will be leading also in the state machine. After all, pledge day is a day for the University. It is your school and your duty to help it. It will be a real assembly with the entire University orchestra, the great choir, and the noted men present. Remember—eat your spinach, run your ten laps, and attend the assembly—food for body, mind and soul. FOLLOWING its plan of inaugurating some new class activity each year, the class of 1932 now comes forth with its latest idea the Junior Jinx. A new iuea in all-campus informal dances, the class hopes to have the plan repeated with success by succeeding junior classes. The class of 1932 has shown itself on its toes throughout its college career. Two years ago it introduced a series of matinee dances held in the men’s gym and planned as get-acquainted parties for the yearling students. In its second year of existence, the class held, in addition to its regular functions, a sophomore banquet, and attracted ttie favorable attention of the campus. The Emerald likes the initiative of the class of 1932. Would that other classes Show similar originality and introduce new and useful traditions that following classes could carry on. Recently the Em raid printed the names of Oregon alumni who were prominent in date politics and failed to include the name of Julius L. Meier. Wouldn’t it have been a joke if officials forgot to put his name on the ballot? I\i weal anything at the journalism Jamboree as requested by the committee might mean a crowd similar to those seen at grille dances here and there. To see all the pictures in the paper each morning might lead one to believe that there really are some great people on the campus. Too bad! Initiative ♦ EDITORS HITHER AND YON ♦ “t’OLl.KGE SPIRIT College traditions the tradi-i tions Washington now is in the process of reviving stunt the! growth of individuality, Dr. Wil-j liam Savery, head of the depart ment of philosophy, told members of Purple Shield, underclass hon orary, Friday. "The true college spirits consists of only a diligent search for cul-1 tural knowledge," Dr. Savery fur-1 ther stated. Can traditions be condemned on I the ground that they stunt indi viduality? There are multitudi nous laws which accomplish that purpose, anil much more effoe-1 lively, yet these laws are quite' necessary to the efficient adminis tration of government. It is true that college should: train the individual to think tor ( i himself rather than allowing oth ers to perform this function for him, but one also must be trained to understand that there are re straints even to the expression of oneself. If a "diligent search for cul tural knowledge” means searching! tor it in the University library, then such a search does not qual ity as .the "true college „spirit.1 The0 most valuable training col lege can give IS NOT FOUND WITHIN THK CONFINES OF the university LIBRARY or! A ROUND A STUDY TABLE. It is not in such places that the indi vidual learns to think for himself util develop his individuality.

Another thing that has just come to light is the goings on be tween the Sigma Chis and the Al pha Xi Delta Hallowe’en. We would bke to know, if possible, what be came of the Sigma Chi who got tlapped on the third floor of the Alpha Xi house while trying to than on a college campus. College takes youth at a period when it is particularly plastic and .•Susceptible to the forces with which it is confronted. It is highly essential that the problems of life of living if only on a minia ture scale, be met and solved in as great a number and wide range of variety as possible. College college life — football retrieve a stolen pumpkin. It’s sure getting to be a heck of a note v/hen women have to lock men up tc keep them in the house. It is rumored in campus circles that the Alpha O's are prowling about the halls in search of a new cartload of pledges to take the place of those married and en gaged the past year. * * * OUR CONFESSION The reason I killed him is simple, Good judge, lemme survive. I sez, “buy a ’mum,” Sez he, “how come?” “Mine is still alive.” THE MEDICAL SCHOOL There have been howls of pro test from this department of the University because they feel that they have been slighted in not be ing included in our survey of schools and departments. So here goes: One never sees much of the stu dents in the med department. They are the bane of the pet lover’s ex istence. No domestic pet, be it cat, dog, sheep, owl, or rhinocerus is safe within 100 yards of Deady hall. In fact the animals shun it like poison, and for good reason. Up there among the tortuous turnings of Old Deady there dwell a peculiar race. Their hair and clothes are unkempt, their near sighted eyes are covered by horn rims, and the shoulders are stoop ed from bending over the dead ca davers of all types of beastie and battles — election defeats — dirty politics—futile attempts to com plete a lesson assignment on time and the rest of it create such problems. Together, they consti tute the “true college spirit.” A “diligent search for cultural knowledge” could be but a phase, j even though an important one, of ' such an education. -Washington I Daily.

They are the one department in the University who have access to the pure grain alcohol, and, need I add, it aids them immeasurably in making their way through school.

Ques tionnaires are being filled out by ill freshmen women in houses, halls, and Philomelete hobby groups, and also by Big Sister cap tains. Since one of the new features of the Big Sister movement this year was assigning Big Sisters to fresh men whose credentials arrived too late to get them on the regular lists of Little Sisters used during the summer, several questions are asked in the questionnaire to de termine if this innovation was ac tually of any added value, and if it should be continued with the regular Big Sister program or should not be attempted another year. The questionnaire is expected to show how many of and how effi ciently the Big Sisters functioned. When the survey is completed by the end of this week the results will be checked with a similar sur vey made last year by Margaret Cummings, then Big Sister Chair man. In past years the survey has reached only freshmen in halls and houses, but this year will be car ried through Philomelete to inde pendent women. Lillie Strom is in charge of this end of the work. Big Sister captains are leading in making the survey. They are Marian Fluke, Margaret Walstrom, Adele Wedemeyer, Jessie Judd, Or pha Ager, Louise Webber, Frances Humphrey, Dorothy Turney, Carol Werschkul, Maryellen Bradford, Harriet Roberts, Ella Redkey, Elizabeth Scruggs, Jane Garcelon, and Amy Hughes. Books on Debate Received by Libe Laboratory Pamphlets Are Ready for Use Now debate and public speech books have been recently received at the University library and wil be used in the debate clubs and in the winter term work of the public speech classes.

The books, which were pur chased from publishers from all over the United States, will be placed on the public speech te servc shelf in room 30 of the main library. Some of these books in the dra matic section arc “Jean Valjean and the Bishop," “Jean Valjean Reveals Himself," “The Quick sands,” all by Hugo, and “Chariot Race” by Lew Wallace. Another very interesting book in this sec tion is the “Face of Christ, a story of a great painter who has lived a wicked life and who paints the face of Christ in a desperate attempt to save himself. The humorous selections are: “Cohen on the Telephone,” “Colo nel’s Experiment,” “ 'Hamlet’ in Billville,” and “Mrs. McDuff at the Baseball Game.” .
