Jewelers Established 1869 620 Willamette Traditions to Apply to Freshmen j By LOU WESTON Junior Weekend is the time for all good freshmen to work hard to gain their social “sophomorism.” After eight months of comparative class anonymity during which they’ve roamed the campus undis tinguished from upperclassmen, tradition calls them to advance and be recognized. For this one week, frosh men will wear the green beanie which used to burden the Webfoot fresh man all year when the University was young and its class rules were more strict.

Members of the Order of the O will also furnish duties for which the frosh can earn sophomore pres tige. The Oregon seal in front of Villard hall needs scrubbing; the O, a new coat of lemon paint. Members of the other classes will also be made aware of the tradi tions which surround Junior Week end. No one is to tread on the cam pus lawns or on the Oregon Seal at any time. The senior bench will be left free for seniors and there will be no smoking on the old cam pus. The latter rule originated in 1912, and ironically, was enforced out of courtesy to women. To avoid a dunking in the law school pond, coeds must refrain fro mspeaking to men and remain coolly aloof during the immediate hours preceding the coronation of the queen. They will, however, “get the pond” for failing to speak to everyone they meet on “Hello Walk” between Fenton and Villard. Any unfriendly male will play vic tim for the Hackers Club of the Or der of the O men on the Law school steps for such an offense. Oregon men are also reminded to wear their “class” pants which are corduroys for upper classmen only, moleskins and blue jeans for sopho mores, and anything that’s left for the freshmen. To enforce this rul ing especially, two Order of the O men have been appointed for each house to specifically check on vio lators and add their names to the hacking list. The traditions committee asks that no one invite a dunking or hacking by giving his name to any member not wearing his Order of the O sweater.
