Washington’s Flunking Traditions
TJ'VERY school has its trouble with traditions. This time the
^ University of Washington has lost its “canoe carnival,” a
spectacle corresponding, we suppose, to the canoe fete here at
the University of Oregon. Reasons for discontinuing this event
traditionally sponsored by the junior class were financial and,
as the junior prexy said, “It’s useless.”
Reactions from the campus from this action were few and
weak, according to the Washington Daily. Students seemed to
regret the loss of "the best part of Junior Day,” but would take
no action to bring it back.
It is certainly not a good move to retain campus traditions
after they have lost their places on a growing University campus.
In this particular case, the officials at Washington are in a
much better position to more carefully weigh the value of such
an activity than are we. If the tradition still meets with the
satisfactions of students and Junior Day guests, then it is alive
and should be retained even if the class budget is to be re
vamped.
The canoe fete on this campus is still very much alive—each
year gaining more recognition as a valuable activity and beauti
ful spectacle. Yearly the event becomes greater and the crowds
increase. While there has been objection to the expense which
falls upon those houses entering and to the long waits which
the spectators in the past have been forced to endure, the canoe
fete is .still popular.
The financial objection can be met with a simple explanation.
Many of the houses have believed it unfair that they, as pro
ducers of a float, should be expected to spend $15 for materials
plus the cost each individual member must suffer for admission
to the fete. The alleged unfairness comes in when it is under
stood that half of the organizations prepare a float each year.
The cost on living organizations is balanced in the course of
two years when all must enter in competition. It is evident
why the houses must provide for their own material when the
list of Junior Week-end activities is surveyed. There are so
many other events that run financially short and demand the
attention of canoe fete profits.
Already students who handled the last fete are preparing
recommendations for the committeemen who will be in charge
next year. This means that the possibility of tiring waits be
tween floats will bo less. Such plans as trained crews to guide
the floats down the stream, cable apparatus, and new methods
of launching are being investigated.
While a tradition is popular difficulties can be reduced. If
the University of Washington canoe carnival is missed by stu
dents anti alumni, we regret that the junior class officials so
readily discontinued it without raising a protecting hand.
Anyway, It’s Different
T 1FE would bo much more Interesting if each day could have
its own significance be marked by some stunt be lightened
by variations from yesterday, the day before, last week, or last
month.
It isn't difficult to sense the commercialism in Oregon's new
White Cap Day, but what if it is commercial? It’s different.
Let us venture to say that eventually our idea may be realized.
We now have Dad's Day, Mothers' Day, Flag' Day, Pledge Day,
and many other days. Who can tell but that someday we may
abandon the old-fashioned numbering system and have a cal
endar with 305 “special occasions"?
Flunking Pit and Efficiency
■fJEKHAPS it's just THE TYPE that receives the mid-term
grade warning slip, but it may be significant that students
who are careless about their lessons are careless in most every
thing else. This is given weight with the announcement that
only -10 students have had conferences with their advisors while
153 men were notified.
Students who fail to consult their advisors when they are
notified of their nearness to the flunking pit overlook the oppor
tunity to prove that they are capable of keeping track of then
business even if they don't give a hang about the grades they
receive. Then again, perhaps it s just the type.
It’s just TOO DAD today if you look like the devil in a
white cap.
Wetfoot Miller and Phiiogruins Cogswell have switched col
umns tvlcy. We ire wondering if they were aware that any
thing different had happened.

One of the first things we’re go

of space in an attempt to get even
with your regular author, the
despicable Barney Miller, who has
never missed an opportunity to
dreg our honest name down into
his dirt, and all because we would
not pay for protection.
Miller is one of these dual guys,
like a pansy in the daylight, but
a fanatical scandal monger after
dark. He served his apprentice
ship as a bell-hop, so the racket
here is a pipe for him. He does
nightly treks from grave yard,
along sorority row, and to the mill
race. He is the sinister demon
lurking in the shadows. If you
should see a child suddenly run to
a window and jerk the blinds, you
will know she has a premonition
that Barney Miller is about.

Camp Seabeck Calls Women
To Fun at Y\FCA Conference
Camp Seabeck—rnbonlit beach
bonfires, swimming, hiking, tenns,
boating, and golf; new friendships,
interesting discussion groups and
unusual entertainment — situated
near Puget Sound on Hoods canal,
■will be open to all girls from June
15 to June 25.
According to Ann Baum, confer
ence chairman, the main purpose
of the Seabeck student conference
this year is to give those interested
in the Y. W. C. A. a better per
spective on the work and an un
derstanding of the movement. To
interpret this philosophy several
outstanding adults have been in
vited to attend this conference,
among whom are: Dr. Alexander
Purdy, who will speak on the stu
dent in industry; Dr. David G. Hill,
African minister, who will speak
on race in regards to international
relations; Deaconess G. Newell of
St. Margaret’s who will speak on
religion, and many others.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and
Montana will all be represented at
Seabeck, making a total of about
150 girls. Those who will be par
ticularly active from the Oregon
campus are: Ann Baum, chairman
of the conference; Helen Chaney,
as Y. W. C. A. president; Elizabeth
Scruggs, as dramatic interpreter of
the theme of the conference, and
Hope Shelley, who is in charge of
Oregon’s contributions to the con
ference. Eldress Judd, former
president of the Y. W. C. A., is
chairman of recreation.
Oregon had the largest repre
sentation at Camp Seabeck last
year, and according to all reports,
even more interest is being shown
this year. Miss Dorothy Thomas
at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow has
further information.

content with the whole. Carl was
consistently good in all his scenes
and added much to the atmosphere
of the production.
Lily Malone, the bitter and cyni
cal young actress, lived her part
to the extent of becoming the re
deemer of Barry’s otherwise rather
flat first scene. Her absolute feel
ing of the hopelessness of life as
portrayed in her skeptical re
marks and dejection of movement
emphasized the important lines of
the first play which otherwise
have nothing but wit to justify
them.
Addison Brockman reached a
new height in his interpretation
of Pat Farley. Other members of
the cast deserve mention for spe
cial scenes. Walden Boyle, as Tom
Ames, was particularly good in his
scene reliving his boyhood, and
Jean Williams did well her one
big scene. Other members of the
cast were Mrs. Ottillie Seybolt, as
Hope Ames; Jack Stipe, as Nor
man Rose; and Felix Legrand as
the butler.
