Let the Goose Hang High;
Congratulations__
At high noon today time will cross into a
body of local tradition lined up in its inevit
ability alongside of such milestones in the
year as Christmas and the fourth of July,
none other than Junior Weekend.
Probably the most discussed, most antici
pated University activity of its type, Junior
Weekend stands by itself as something
unique in college life. This uniqueness is
traceable to several factors, some more im
portant than others. Perhaps the best way to
decide what makes Junior Weekend what it
is would be to look upon the whole process as
a gigantic recipe—put the various ingredients
together and you have something which in
its component parts lacks what it possesses
united.
The program by itself does not accomplish
this, although this is doubtless the most sub
stantial factor. The program supplies frame
work. and possibly some of that which fills
in the corners. Take for instance campus
luncheon. Picnics are no novelty, but here is
something accessible to all, carefully planned
and backed up. and enhanced by the presence
of strange faces. There is only one'campus
luncheon each year, this limitation probably
doing much to preserve its novelty and fresh
ness.
Campus luncheon is colorful by itself, staged
in a beautiful outdoor setting and universally
there, yet the affair is not allowed to go on
there, yet the affaair is not allowed to go on
and on until the pleasure is gone. Instead
events follow in rapid succession, some sched
uled and some unscheduled, in the latter class
being the sallies to the dunking-pool for vio
lators of campus luncheon's own traditional
rules.
But the strong point of campus luncheon is
the fact that it is one time in all the weekend
at which all visitors and campus-dwellers get
together in a common purpose. The luncheon
catches the mass of humanity on its upward
swerve of enthusiasm, when everyone is still
fresh and eager, and at this moment some
tiling begins to jell which builds up until a
separate entity, the spirit of Junior Weekend,
has developed to exist for all participants as
something undetinable and intangible but
nonetheless real.
Who ever forgets how pleasing to the eye
the scene? There is something about the coro
nation of the queen, always an outstanding
sample of University womanhood, which
sticks in the memory, and who ever forgets
the Friar and Mortar Board solemn pledging
processions*?
All in all it is this luncheon which sets off
the spirit which hovers over the rest of the
three-day holiday. Visitors absorb the enter
tainment offered them. Mothers travel around
hearing and being shown the things they have
been told or were guessing about. The Junior
Weekend procession moves along.
This spirit of Junior Weekend, peculiar as
it is to this particular time and place, a spring
creation, may explain how this particular fes
tival attained it popularity and its appeal.
No one knows how Junior Weekend got that
way, all that is known is the thing exists and
always works out. Weekend planning can be
good or bad. even bad weather cannot com
pletely stymie what goes on (fingers crossed),
although good weather is one of the secrets
of success.
On and on could go comments on this col
orful period in which the University is at once
a showplace and the scene of the solidifying
of dreams. But to newcomers such an on-and
on course would be about as considerate a pro
ceeding as revealing what happens on the last
page of the novel or in the final scene of the
show.
in a xe\\ nours one.anu au will nave tne
opportunity to study the phenomenon herein
considered and to arrive at their own conclu
sions, at the same time contributing to the
factors mentioned as the parts of the Junior
"Weekend recipe, lliis Junior Weekend spirit
entity attests to the appeal of the function.
Whoever enters a Junior Weekend program
is to be congatulated. The.JTniversity is proud
to offer such a program and ready to offer
such congatulations, as many as there are par
ticipants.
Antonio Jiminez, Emory university pre-medical
student from Costa P-ica, is spending big money
f r his college education—in fact it’s going to cost
him exactly $25,000. Here’s how he figures it out:
The Costa Rican dollar is worth 20 cents in Amer- j
ican money, and every time he spends a dollar
here it’s costing his father five bucks.
University of Toledo coeds have a terrific mad
cn for Artist James Montgomery Flagg, and here’s
the reason: When asked to judge a campus beau
ty contest, Flagg returned the beauties’ pictures
with this note:
"I didn't consent to pick 10 beauties; there
wouldn't be that many in 10 colleges. 1 have
marked three good looking young ladies—not
beauties. Nobody could bring any ‘high pressure'
on me effectually in regard to standards of beau
ty. Here's something to put in your pipe in case
you have the questionable habit: Eeauties don't
enter beauty contests!”

Amphibians.
Clown diving, log rolling, races
. . . all manner of unusual swim
ming features are to be a part of
the event.
Topping off the swimmers’ per
formance, will be a “mock canoe
fete,” not so elaborate as in other

‘Wonderland.”
The latest addition to the varied
program offered by the juniors at
their big weekend is the terrace
lance on the flagstone terrace of
Oregon’s new library. It is ached?
tiled for this afternoon from 3
