Oregon Traditions Give Campus Individuality By WILL LINDLEY The University of Oregon campus would undoubtedly have no more vigor than that of a business college were it not for school spirit, that undefinable something which makes life at Oregon something which graduates never forget. One of the most important parts of student life is the tradi tions, which give Oregon individuality. The most important of traditions are our three school songs. Nothing is quite so embarrassing as to stand and mumble while the crowd at a rally or a football game roars out “Mighty Oregon.” And don’t forget the stirring "Pledge Song” and the beautiful "As I Sit and Dream at Eve ning.’’ Learn Learn all the Oregon songs and sing them. Learn the yells and spur the yellow and green on to victory. The campus has many tradi tions which even the oldest grad uates can remember, traditions which they expect you to carry on. Don’t sit on the senior bench (near the library), don’t walk on the Oregon seal (set in the walk north of Villard), and do observe the “hello” tradition which makes Oregon a friendly campus. Special Traditions Be a good host to University guests, attend University assem blies, and participate in extra-cur ricular activities which your schedule will allow. During Homecoming and Jun ior Weekend certain other tradi tions must be respected, and many a student has taken his whacks on the steps of the Law School for failure to comply with these rules. During these times fresh men must wear their ‘rooter’s FIRST COMES COURAGE with Merle Oberon Brian Aherne nnrri?rtnrn Virginia We idler in THE YOUNGEST PROFESSION Murder on the Water Front With John Loder lids,” all students must keep off the grass, no smoking is permit ted on the old campus. Some of these traditions may seem a little unnecessary to the freshman, but after they have been endured they become a part of campus life, and no student would think of giving up any one of them any more than he would think of leaving the house of his choice. Participate in Oregon tradi tions. They are expressions of faith in Old Oregon, and a source of pride to all University stu dents.

They were holed out at isolated guard stations in the Willamette national forest, learning to live on army food and not kick too hard about it. Some of them sweated during the summer getting H. J. Kaiser’s ships out a minute and a half before schedule time. It’s a cinch you couldn’t find your faculty on the campus this summer, except for those who remained teaching summer school. They scattered like chaff when finals were over into de fense work or something closely allied. Bean Picker J. H. Gilbert, dean of the col lege of liberal arts, was there when the roll calls were sounded in the bean fields this summer. He spent three weeks learning the art of stripping a bush and averaged as high as 200 pounds one day. Incidentally lie was the only man over 16 there, and the bean yard won't easily forget the professor, who checked in every morning-and was able to stand up with 12-year-old veterans and watch his sacks weigh in at the end of the day. Dr. S. H. Jameson, professor of sociology, boasts a good tan as the result of his summer in the bean yards and the honor of having been known as the second fastest picker in the yard. It was a woman who held out for first honors. Crew Foreman Fite crew foreman of the Wil lamette national forest is a pret ty impressive title and no one sports it any more jauntily than L. K. Shumaker, director of the lower division advisory group. From June 7 until September 3, anyone calling for him could have found him at the guard training camp, about two miles above the McKenzie bridge, unless he was out on duty when he might have been anywhere in the Willamette forest. He was in charge of a suppression crew, which is an other way of saying the boys who put out the fires other people start. Their duty was to stand in readiness for fire anywhere in the area but this summer there evidently wasn’t much to do. They "suppressed” two fires—one took a couple of hours and the other three days. cali Caberet” complete with floor show, vocalists, and several acts, is being featured by the St. Mary’s Episcopal group. r I have often said and oftene# think that this world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.—Horace Walpole.
