VOLUME XXXIV____UNIVERSITY OF OREGON EUGENE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1933 ~~ _NUMBER 69 Frosh Declare ‘[Tradition Is Wrongly Used Yearlings Claim Action Not School Spirit COMPLIANCE DENIED Green Lids Not To Be Worn Unless Pressure Brought To Bear, States Al Wall “The freshmen are more than willing to uphold any University tradition. But when the word, ‘tradition,’ is falsely used to hide the real meaning of some campus action, as they feel is being done in the green lid question, they will flatly refuse to cooperate unless forced,” states frosh prexy, Al Wall, and Bill McNutt, chairman of the frosh commission, agrees with his statement. "By analyzing the yearling’s at titude this is found to be their trend of thought: sophomores and upperclassmen, especially the sophomores, don't care a thing for the tradition part of wearing green lids,” Wall declared. “Their ranting and storming result not from their school spirit, as they would have everyone believe, but from the fact that when they were freshmen they had to wear the unbecoming headpieces, and they can’t stand the idea of other en tering classes not doing the same. Freedom Appreciated “At present the freshmen ad mire, respect, and thank the broadmindedness and unbiased thought of the senior tradition committee. There are a few who have tried to take advantage of the new freedom granted them, but this number is far in the mi nority. “Sophomores are naturally the loudest in their protests against the action recently taken by the senior 16. It has not been so long since they themselves were compelled to sport the green lids, and the humility still rankles. If this year’s freshmen are not forced to wear their heretofore class ‘emblem,’ then next year they will not feel the same as the sophs do now, and when the sophs are jun iors they will have forgotten the attitude they possess at present.” Hall Issues Statement When asked to comment on the green lid controversy last night, Bob Hall, student body president, said, “It is not in my jurisdiction, since I turned the job over to Bill Bowerman.” The trouble flared up Thursday night at an Order of the “O” meeting when the organization de cided to enforce the tradition if it were given the power, but after a discussion, voted to leave the abolished tradition alone unless the frosh wanted the lid back. Bowerman Against Tradition Bill Bowerman, vice-president of the student body and officer of the traditions enforcement, who decreed the abolishment of the tradition three weeks ago, de clared that the Order of the “O” would be taking authority it did (Continued on Page Pour) National YMCA Official Will Visit on Tuesday David R.

Now it is possible to piece to gether the story of Abraham Lin coln’s last day—as simple and homely as was his first. There had been no mumbling soothsayers about when he was born, and no Napoleonic thunders marked his passing. Lincoln was happy. His war routine was relaxed a little; he spent Good Friday, April 14, 1865, planning a kindly future for his family of states. He was early at his desk that last day, it is pointed out in the late Dr. William E. Barton's ‘‘Pres ident Lincoln,” an extended study of Lincoln's presidency. He wished to reach General Grant with a note postponing a call from 9 o’clock until 11 o’clock, for which hour he arranged a cabinet meeting. Visitors began calling, among them two friends from Illinois days: Richard Yates, the new sen ator, and William P. Kellogg, the federal judge whom the president just had made collector of the port of New Orleans. On his departure Lincoln said earnestly to Kellogg: “I want you to make love to those people down there.” Lincoln received a few callers and mercifully released two Con federate prisoners before his cus tomary visit to the war depart ment. Meanwhile Mrs. Lincoln was arranging a theatre party. With Major Henry R. Rathbone and his fiancee, Miss Cora Harris, they were to see Laura Keene in “Our American Cousin.” At the cabinet session Lincoln strongly urged respect and kind ness for the south to make recon struction easier. After lunch there were many callers, and again Lincoln signed amnesty pardons. Help was prom ised a woman who had worked in the Lincoln home in Illinois, now in reduced circumstances. The president then left for a drive with Mrs. Lincoln, through the warm spring sun, down past the navy yard. One more gay moment was al lowed Lincoln. When the drive ended late in the afternoon two cronies from Illinois awaited him. Lincoln always swapped stories with them. After dinner a few callers, and a brief visit to the war depart ment. One of his callers received his last autograph—a scribbled note saying “Allow Mr. Ashmun & friend to come in at 9 a. m. to morrow.” Mrs. Lincoln was ready in the carriage when another Illi nois friend, Isaac N. Arnold, hove in sight. “I’m going to the theater,” Lin coln is quoted in “President Lin coln” as having shouted. “Come and see me in the morning.” There were no further incidents. The president and his party ar rived at Ford's theatre a little be fore nine; at 10:10 o'clock John Wilkes Booth started for the presi dential box, and in a moment the fatal shot rang out. Dr. A. K. Foster Speaks At Hut on Christianity Dr. Allyn K. Foster, secretary of the Baptist church board of education, spoke before an open meeting at the Y hut at 4 o'clock. His topic was “Modern Interpre tation of Christianity.” Dr. Foster defined religion as life, and stressed the fact that modern religion is not a set of dogmas, but an essential element interwoven with the physical and intellectual life of an individual. Dr. Foster is making a national tour visiting all major colleges. His chief purpose, in the work which he has been doing for 13 years, he said, is to aid students in their religious life. Barrister To Lecture Over KOAC Tomorrow The first of the series of talks on “The Lawyer and the Public” will be broadcast tomorrow at 3 p. m. over the Columbia Broadcast ing system, according to Prof. Charles G. Howard of the Oregon law school, who urges all students of the University to listen in at that time. Tomorrow’s speaker will be Clarence E. Martin, president of the American Bar association. He will talk on “The American Bar, Its Past Leaders and Its Present Aims.” Mr. Martin will be intro duced by William J. Donovan, for mer assistant United States attor | ney general. Hitchcock Again Gets Taste Of Mill Race Waters? Hacks Parks Hitchcock, cousin of Tom my Hitchcock of polo fame and closely related to the late la mented Calvin Coolidge and the erstwhile Senator William F.! Woodward, underwent his second annual baptism in the cool waters of the mill-race late last night. In appreciation of the publicity granted Phi Kappa Psi in the "Assault and Battery" column of the Emerald yesterday, 15 mem bers of that fraternity escorted the university columnist to the banks of the mill-race opposite the Gamma Phi house, solemnly administered 15 hacks to the pos terior side of the Hitchcock anat omy, and permitted him to cool his weary flesh in the swiftly flowing stream. Attention was visited on Hitch cock last night because of a de rogatory remark referring to the Phi Psis which appeared in hi3 column yesterday. It read, . . appears someone phoned up the Phi Delt house and said it was the Phi Psis calling, and would the Phi Delt boys come down for the Dime Crawl?” At a late hour last night the columnist was reached at his home, where he was recovering from the immersion. “My only regret,” he said, “is that the boys didn’t chop a hole in the ice before they threw me in.” Recalling a similar adventure last term with members of the Sigma Nu tong, Hitchcock de plored the inhospitality exnibited by the Phi Psis: “They neither gave me a dinner (is did the Sig ma Nus), nor even a drink. But I do wish to thank them for their kindness in driving me home, and in furnishing me with a towel which I note was swiped from the St. Francis hotel.” Issuing a final statement, Hitch cock declared, “They may think my daily ditty is sizzling, but when I set their shack afire, then, watch my smoke!” : Committee On Housing Makes Stringent Rules Off - Campus Residents To Be Cheeked REASONS REQUIRED - i - Curtailment of Private Dwelling Permits Brought About by Derm State Deduction Students planning to live in private houses during spring term will be required to submit com plete and extremely detailed in formation as to their reasons for living off the campus and their inability to live in dormitories, it was reported yesterday by Karl W.

'Sweet A fton9 Barrett Makes Trouble for Vandal Quintet By HAZLE CORRIGAN The only trouble with “Sweet Afton" Barrett, shooting star of the Vandals, his teammates tell me, is that he is in love with a Gamma Phi. Yes, and you know he hasn’t been shooting so well lately. He has no denials to make. “Heza” or “Grinnin’ ’’ Barrett, as he is also known, likes Mickey Mouse, lives in Pocatello, and is afraid of Oregon. Turning to the serious for a moment, he chose Ed Lewis as the outstanding player in the conference. “What do I like best about bas ketball? Oh, I like the halves best. I’ll take that back. I like the complimentary tickets which we trade for haircuts best. “The most interesting thing I know, I guess, is that Idaho has won three conference games in succession from Oregon. Of course, we can't come up to you for rec ords,” he said, taking a sly dig at Oregon’s “clean" slate. But you must meet the team. There’s “Tousle-head” Wicks, the miniature forward, and does his tongue run wild! Lacey he has no nickname—hasn’t yet an swered my question, “What do you think to be the most interest ing thing about the captain?" He’s the captain, it seems. “Lutefisk" Nelson and “Tiger” Grenier came in for their share of attention. One of them ought to get all-coast honors for table manners, but which one ? But get this straight, they take their cit rocarbonate like good little boys, and the manager knows his stuff, even to strawberry ice cream and apple pie. Members of the team say that Moscow’s a dandy town, and all that, but it has its drawbacks; for instance, you have to go three miles to the graveyard—but it’s worth it! The Idaho boys were unani mous in their enthusiasm over Oregon's weather. Attributing (Continued on Page Three) Idaho Quinlet Winner by Count of 38 to 32 ROBERTSON GETS 14 Cap Roberts Is Threatened With Intestinal Flu; Lacey Leads Invaders' Scoring Parade W. L. Pet. Oregon State . 8 3 .727 Washington 6 3 .667 Washington State 6 4 .600 Idaho 4 4 .500 Oregon .0 10 .000 By BILL EBERHART After leading the Vandals of Idaho 14 to 3 after ten minutes ot vigorous playing, Oregon saw the ball game slip through her fragile grasp last night to the tune of a final 38 to 32 score. Cap Roberts, the Webfoots’ rugged center, had been threatened with intestinal flu all day yesterday and was forced to leave the game for a few minutes during the last half. Whether or not he will play to night is questionable. Hank Simons and Kermit Ste vens started the fireworks for Oregon with a cripple and a brace of free throws, with Jack Robert son adding a gift shot for a total of five points before the Vandals tallied. Their first basket came when Pete Wicks, diminutive for ward, played • stool-pigeon and poked in a short one. Then Rob ertson, single-handed, ran up the score to 12 points, while Idaho connected with a single foul shot. Lead Short-LlveG This 14 to 3 lead was doomed to be short-lived, .however, for the Vandals dropped a barrage of long shots to top the Webfoots a point just as the timer's gun stopped the first half. Oregon’s fire sputtered and went to ashes as they saw hope shot after hope shot swish the net. The lead changed hands three times in the first few minutes ot the second canto, with Robertson gnd Roberts hitting the basket for Oregon and Wicks for Idaho. Ida ho took time out for Barrett, who had aggravated an old knee in jury and was forced to sniff some of Coach Rich Fox's smelling salts. Immediately on resuming play, Hurley, Vandal guard, took the ball from the jump-ball on Idaho’s end of the court and made a bee line for the Oregon basket. Only the frantic shouts of Barrett and Wicks kept him from pulling a Roy Riegels and giving Oregon two points. stands in Uproar With the stands in an uproar over Hurley's boner, the very large Mr. Grenier dropped in a cripple and a couple of foul shots to forge three points ahead of the battling Webfoots. Roberts retaliated with a one-handed shot, and Stevens and Olinger sank two beautifully arched baskets to make the score 26 to 23 for Oregon. With only six minutes to go, Lacy converted on a foul by Cap Roberts and Hur ley made a cripple to tie up the score at 26-all. At this juncture, Idaho climbed into the driver’s seat and finished the ball game standing up. Gren ier, Lacy, and Wicks boosted the count up to 36 while Robertson was the only Webfoot able to break through the Vandals’ de fense for a tally. Idaho stalled the rest of the time, but lost the ball twice and Oregon made good a pair of long distance shots, mak ing the count 36 to 32. The time was too short, however, for Ore gon to overcome the four-point dif ference, but Hurley managed to garner another short one just as the tilt ended. Although weakened by illness (Continued on Page Pour) Pledges to YMCA Due February 15, Says Stromberg A LL pledges made to the Y.M.C.A. last fall are due by February 15, and payment is urged by Eugene Stromberg, secretary of the Y.
