Oregon—Way Back When
By Ann Ritchey
Emerald Reporter
When French bobs were the
mode, women were thinking about
smoking and “Oh, you kids” was
about the cleverest answer to any
thing, our parents were going to
college and . .. guess what ... get
ting into all kinds of trouble!
One adventurous freshman male
made front-page copy in a 1920
Emerald by his playful painting
of the administation building
lamps. They were made a beautiful
freshman green, in keeping with
the strict campus traditions of the
time. He was. no doubt, responding
to an editorial in which the class
had been reprimanded for not ob
serving the green-hat custom.
A look into Mother or Dad’s re
cord collection might reveal copies
of some of the song favorites, such
as “Avalon” or “My Man fox
trot.” Played on an Edison grapho
phone, these classics were sung by
a toich singer or Rudy Vallee. ,
The cultural side of education
was taken care of nicely by private
dancing academies and piano
schools that taught the latest in
“real jazz.” For those students who
didn't go to the academies, the
proper form of dancing was taught
right on the campus. Spacing her
pupils 10 inches apart dependent
upon the size of the partners”, the
physical education teacher who
taught the course insisted upon
j both partners extending their arms
in almost a “straight line.”
“Cheek” dancing and the practice
of the partners looking over one
another’s shoulder were vigorous
ly discouraged.
Oregon wasn't doing too well
in sports about this time, for Paci
fic university’s biggest goal of the
j year was to beat us in football .. .
j which they did.
The school administration was
really anxious to change students
I during this period, for reports by
i the infirmary doctors and physical
| education teachers revealed that
most university students, both male
! and female, were about 15 to 23
percent underweight. This they de
cided to correct by making students
| quit eating meat and smoking.
Entertainment was either hilari
ously funny (slapstick) or flashy
and feminine in nature. Advertised
in nearly every issue of the Emer
ald was George White’s Scandals
of 3919, and a popular movie with
students was Charlie Chaplin in
“The Kid.” Adolphe Menjou, too,
came for his share of attention
with “For Sale.”
In order to get students to attend
a mixer with a county fair theme,
the Emerald ran an editorial re
peating a charge made by .some
one that University of Oregon stu
dents know no other way to enter
tain themselves socially than to
dance. The dancing was carried to
such an extreme that the punish
ment for girls who did not make
2 point GPA’s was that they not
be allowed to attend dances!
Another criticism made of uni
versity students was one that prob
ably sounds familiar to many of
us that the students had very
poor English usage. Spelling and
sentence construction were consid
ered especially appalling.
Along about 1930 things became
more daring, and women began
smoking in earnest. In fact many
of them acquired the habit. Ad
vertisements became common in
the Emerald pages, and almost
every cigarette ad pictured a wo
man enjoying her recently-acquired
freedom.
The university was shocked, in
1934, when prohibition’s repeal
chai ged a few things ip Eugene.
Near the campus area alone, three
restraunts were guilty of selling
beer, and many stories were writ
ten urging students not to patro
nize these places.
