Wiggling Till Sundown
£HT Til 10 I HOAD off a snake, they say, and
it will wiggle lill sundown. Hut a snake's
headless vitality cannot compare with the
senseless persistence of those who wish to
“revive traditions” on this campus. Those
indefatigable pennant-wavers will probably
be wiggling until the sundown of cultural
advancement at Oregon. Which will be no
shorter time than forever, if the ( diversity
plots and adheres to a course of proper edu
cational ideals.
What they don't seem to get through
their heads is the fact that traditions cannot
he drafted into existence. Traditions are the
sentimental aura which arises from tlie mater
ial situation, and, as that situation changes,'
so change traditions slowly, to he sure, hut
inevitably. And in all societies—campus so
ciety included there will he those who, fail
ing to see the material change about them,
will vainly oppose the changing of Iraditions
and try to sustain them by force, if neces
sary.
JT IS CONCEIVABLE that a false sort of
traditions could be ordered into being. As
a matter of fact, recently there was ail actual
proposal to conduct a survey of traditions on
other campuses and consider the advisability
of introducing a select number of them here.
And the fact that this proposal was given
serious entertainment—we don’t know wheth
er it has been given up even yet- shows the
inanity to which Joe College will proceed.
What could be more preposterous than
attempting to transplant the spirit of one in
stitution to another without a simultaneous
transplanting of the conditions which had
given rise to them?
Hut there are even more serious object ions
to such traditions than their mere artificial
ity. however strongly that may weigh against
them.
* # *
|N BOOM TIMES, before 1929, there was a
feverish carnival spirit in the nation, and
the people were not above winking at a large
amount of tom-foolery among the college
youth of the land. But this is a serious day
and age. Wo have just weathered a depres
sion that almost knocked the [tins from be
neath our social and economic structure, and
today the people are not going to pay for
tomfoolery in their institutions of higher
learning.
Dean Allen, in his sketch of The. Ideal
University, written for the Emerald last week,
expressed a thought of which the spirit and
cogency is not dulled by removal from its
context.
“The common unlearned man . . . has al
ways been willing, in societies far poorer than
ours, to acquiesce in the existence and support
of genuine institutions of learning. Today
. . . his genuine instinct for the detection of
humbug leads him to tighten up the strings
of his pocket book.’’
JJTJMBUG. TOM-FOOLERY. Thai is what
the resurrection men of traditions have
in mind.
Fun and pleasure, in their proper degree,
no one will deny the collegian. Fun and
pleasure spontaneously arise from a happy,
healthy attitude toward life. But what spon
taneity can there be in a revival today of the
“frosli bible,” “green lids.’’ “mill-racing,”
and the other folderol of old-time traditions?
What the people of this state want to
hear in the way of news from their institu
tions of higher learning now is proof that
they are performing the educational services
for which they are supported—not evidence
that they are developing a bunch of coon
skinned nincompoops.
Quite possibly if the proper appreciation
of Oregon’s higher learning were abroad, we
would never have been faced with the strenu
ous battle for funds which we have .just gone
through.
PROTESTS “LOGROLLING”
To the Editor: In submitting this communica
tion, I am echoing a protest 1 have heard from all
sides since last Tuesday.
How can a campus election by popular vote
suddenly become decidedly unpopular?
The answer is: When it is conducted and car
ried out in the farcical manner by which the five
candidates for MISS OREGON were elected.
As I unobtrusively pursued my way back and
forth to classes on Tuesday, 1 was collared at least
a dozen times by frenzied, indominitable coeds who
smoothly and (to most people) persuasively at
tempted to cajole me into voting for their candi
date for MISS OREGON.
One usually thinks of "log-rolling” politicians
as unpleasantly greasy and fat-faced individuals,

but at Oregon they are turning out a more subtle
and effective type.
One of them approached me with a flattering
smile fjust for me) and murmured, "Have you
voted yet?" The first time I unthinkingly replied,
“No, not yet, I am just going to."
"I’ll come with you,” she said, and she was
not daunted in the least by my cool and uncom
prehending stare. She slipped her arm through
mine and off we marched to the polls. "Of course
you know whom to vote for,” she slyly intimated.
"Here's a pencil-” and then she thrust a piece
of paper at me and took a position of vantage
just back of my right shoulder. Staring over it
she cautiously but firmly commanded me, saying
"Put down Veree Utzee." She seemed confident
that I dare do nothing else.
Unfortunately, I have a mind of my own, so I
could not avoid making an enemy out of her.
“I’m sorry,” I said, “I am voting for someone
else.”
The look that came over her face was not
pleasant to see and she lost interest in me so
quickly that the temperature dropped ten degrees
in ten seconds.
So I departed sadder but wiser after depositing
my despicable choice in the ballot-box. I was
puzzling over the peculiarly brazen approach made
by my recent charming acquaintance when some- ]
one else nailed me.
"Have you voted yet?" the second one asked.
“Yes,” I said, and added, "Thank God!” About
eight more people tugged at my arm with the
same question before the unbelievable occasion
of the supreme “faux pas” arose.
A girl, like the rest but with even a more
plastered-on smile, came up and popped the ques
tion at me. I answered as usual, saying that I
had already voted, to which she calmly replied, 1
"Vote again! Everybody does!” Then she added
coyly, "Vote for me—I’m running!”
“Are you?” I said, "that’s fine, but I’m in a
hurry to get where I’m going and besides I’ve
already voted.” She shrugged her shoulders and
resumed her search for other prey, firmly estab
lishing her smile again.
There was a nice article in the Emerald a while
back concerning the purpose of selecting a MISS
OREGON. Certain qualifications and attributes
were mentioned as desirable. And lastly, and splen
didly enough in theory, MISS OREGON was to
represent popular campus opinion in the matter.
The choice of an individual was to count for once.
Just what will MISS OREGON represent be
sides another unpleasant phase of polluted campus
politics? J. E. H.

changed rapidly to conform to
Congress’ wishes.
“The wise old men in whom we
place so much faith are not such
dieties as we make of them,” ac
cording to Professor Clark. “They
are not so infallible as the public
thinks, for they’ve made their
share of mistakes on vital issues.”
No English Court
“Tlic English people have no
court to rule on the fundamental
rights of man, but they don't seem
to have their rights endangered,”
he declared.
In regard to the opposition that
the reform is receiving in Con
gress, Mr. Clark stated that, “not
one out of the sixteen Republicans
in the Senate can see the virtue of
the proposal, but what they want
is for Roosevelt to make a misstep
so he will lose out in the favor of
the people. With the liberal sena
tors who have heretofore support
ed the New Deal, it is a question
of their own pet measures not be
ing used in this case. But the
president has carefully weighed
every featuro of the issue and will
insist on his needs being fulfilled."
“It Is hard to understand why big
business will not support the
change as Roosevelt is trying to
preserve the present capitalistic
system and this is the best de
fense against any radical change
in the system.” He added that
many labor groups are backing the
change because of the labor legis
lation, such as the Wagner bill,
which is threatened under the
present set-up."

Process-Aging
enriches the flavor
and aroma of this
fine Pipe Tobacco
LOOK
Prove it at our Risk
AGING enhances the flavor and
l bouquet of fine wines. The
same is true of tobaccos.
As every tobacco expert knows,
pipe tobacco can be rushed through
the plant and save big sums of money.
It’s pipe tobacco, but it is not
Edgeworth.
Edgeworth is Process-Aged, a
method as vital to these fine to
baccos as aging is to fine wines.
Process-Aging requires twelve steps,
each under laboratory control. It
takes 4 to 7 times as long as might
seem necessary. But in no other way
can we guarantee that Edgeworth
will not bite the tongue.
If Edgeworth is not the most de
licious pipe tobacco you ever smoked
or if it bites your tongue, your money
will be cheerfully refunded.
NOTE: There are three kinds of
Edgeworth for you to choose from:
1—Edgeworth Itcady-Kubbed—a
cool, long-burning tobacco pre
ferred by seasoned smokers.
2—Edgeworth Plug Slice—for the
smoker who likes to crumble the
tobacco in his hands until it's just
right for him.
8—Edgeworth Jr.—the same to
bacco also Process-Aged, but cut
for a milder, more free-burning
smoke.
Please accept 50e Gold Plated Collar-Pin
for only 10c when yott buy Edgeworth.
Merely send inside white wrapper front

TT looks harmless, but this fungus destroys poles.
-*■ So telephone research men wage war on it.
In the Bell Telephone Laboratories, they study
many woods, concoct many preservatives. In Missis
sippi, Colorado and New Jersev—where conditions
vary widely—they’ve set out whole armies of treated
test poles. Their continuous experiments vield many
a weird but valuable fact about destructive fungi
and insects.
Since the Bell System each year uses over 500,000
poles tor replacements and new lines, lengthening
pole life is'most important. It's one more way to
make telephone service still more dependable.
