The traditions are: 1. No walking on the grass in the area between Kincaid street and University street, and Elev enth and Thirteenth. 2. Say hello to everyone met on “Hello Walk.” This walk runs from Fenton hall past Deady to Viliard. 3. Freshman girls must wear green ribbons in their hair.

Only seniors will be allowed to sit on the‘senior bench which faces the library behind Susan Campbell hall. 5. Freshmen must wear their tin pants. 6. No smoking on the old part of the campus. This is the area mentioned above. 7. Sophomores will wear either their moleskins or blue jeans. 8. Freshmen will wear rooters’ lids.

The program is broadcast over KOAC every Tuesday evening from 8 to 8:15 by the staff who also prepare the script. Some times they present their material in ‘‘March of Time” fashion, sometimes in dramatizations or in straight conversation. One Letter To date the fall staff has had one fan mail postcard. However, Chuck Boice, Mary Lois Dana, ^limi O'Donnell, and Ted Har mon, the present research-wrrit ing-producing-acting group, find the work quite entertaining. They followed the recent black out from one town to another all over the state, finding much in the way of human interest ma terial. They had lots of fun re porting the recent threat of Cur ry county to secede from Oregon to California. Fifth Year Dean Allen and Marvin A. Krenk, instructor in speech, ap point a new staff each term. This is the fifth year that Neighbor hood News has been in existence.
