Frosh Pants Get Kicked By Soph Men The sophomobb class has its tights, and executives of the class rose up Thursday night to demand those rights, namely, the tradition that a sophomore tvears moleskin or blue jean pants while a lowly fre/.hman spends his life in tin pants. The question of underclass men’s trousers was thoroughly discussed at the sophomore ex ecutive committee meeting, and it was decided that too many freshmen daily clutter up the campus in the uniform of sopho mores—blue jeans or moleskins. According to the sophomores, the governor of the state of Ore gon in a warrant designated that moleskins and blue jeans are the official pants of sopho more men at the University of Oregon. “Skull and Dagger, sophomore men's honorary, has agreed to di rect enforcement of the tradition. Starting Monday, offenders will be dealt with accordingly,” Bob Henderson, president of the class of ’45 stated Friday. Considering that tin pants are no longer available at all stores, the sophomores decided that cruise blues would be permissible for freshman attire.
