f 2 u ' THE REF ECToR gy Then again, Why should this custom rest with one department? Why not make it universal in our dear old University. That can only be done by the united co-operation of the Entire Body of Upper Classmen. Let us unite, banish that departmental feeling, as it has been banished in athletics, and 'light for the success of but one School, Our Alma lXfIater, U. of B. YVith the coming of athletics in the University, comes the ques- tion of the VVearing of the UB. Imagine, if you can, how a man feels, who has Worked hard for the distinction of Wearing the one thing which his Alma Nlater has seen lit to award him in recognition of his valuable services, when he meets a man who is wearing across his jersey the exact duplicate, just because he had the price to pur- chase it. Should We, as students, tolerate this sort of thing? No, decidedly not. We should stamp this practice out in its infancy, and protect that which is dear to the heart of every true and loyal U. B. man. Let us arise, to the man, and enlist in the ranlgs to fight this thing down. Another and truly as serious a problem has been brought about by the indiscriminate lending of the Season Tickets. That is another matter Which rests entirely With the student body themselves. It is a question of manly principles as Well as loyalty to your School and the teams it is endeavoring to support in the World of athletics. Are you, as a man, going to allow this thing to continue? We may say here that the Athletic Association has taken this matter up, and that any further infringement of this sort will be dealt With in a manner which Will be anything but complimentary to the parties involved. There is another question over which there has been much dis- cussion, that is, having a fixed, compulsory athletic fee. Tn the opinion of the Writer this fee is just as vital and necessary as the matriculation or any other similar fee. Qther schools have it, and if We expect to continue our existence in the World of College Athletics we should have it by all means. If the Faculty should see lit to take this step, Fm sure they would have the unanimous sanction of the entire Student Body. 95

K THE 1-212121 .EC ORS 32 4 gy T Q E? The University is now in its second year of athletic revival. So far, a greater success would be practically impossible. As usual, you will find the Class of 717 well represented, as it is in all things per- taining to the development of our school into a greater and larger University. It is to the men that represent us in these various lines that we wish to extend our congratulations. Of all the material in our department, we feel sure that the Class of 717 has contributed more than her share, but still we would like to have more of our men out. It means some sacrifice of time and pleasure, but isn't it worth it? Ask those men that have clone the boosting for us so far and see what their reply will be. May we cherish this fond hope, that we may look back in the years to come, and be able to say, We, the Class of 717, led the whole University in athletics, as well as in our own departmentw. ' As a University, our traditions and class customs are sadly neglected. To us come some vague remembrances of such traditions, it is a well known fact to most of us that not a single one of these has been practiced in years. W7hy not? Arenit Spirit and Tradition the two things that make every manls Alma hffater dear to his heart? Then why isn't there something done to stimulate this sort of thing. Last year, we, as a class, endeavored to start the old custom of wearing the green caps with the large purple button. XVe are sorry to record here that none of the other departments saw fit to follow our lead, however, we did wear those Frosh caps, and every man feels proud of the fact today. Through stubbornness and pig-headed- ness of its leaders, the Class of '18 refused to prolong the life of that custom another year. VVe, being outnumbered two to one, and not having the support of the Upper Classmen as we should have had, were unable to enforce that which we felt was one of the pleasures and sports of College Life. VVe, as a class, can see no good reason why the Class of '18, although they refused to do it themselves, shouldn't compel the coming Frosh, the Class of 719, to wear the Caps. Wie, the Class of 717, will pledge ourselves to support any such movement, to the man, if the lower classmen will take the initiative step. Think It Over, Nlen of '18, 94
