EERNlcE WfINSLOW WON.
In Baby Show at Pendleton.

There is no stronger sentiment
in the human make up than pride
in ones offspring, providing said
offspring is of a sort to- permit
of pride being felt by the parents.
Up IN Pendletou there is a mann
ma and papa who would not
trade places today with Teddy
Roosevelt. They are Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenn Winslow, both form
er OAC students, the .lattar hav-
ing been Miss Jennie Clark, for
years a Corvallis girl.
The reason of their pr1de is not
that they have fallen heir to mill
lions, nor is it because fame has
come upon either of them for
some splendid achievement. 1t
ali happened last Thursday at
the big livestock fair and Elks'
carnival at Pendleton and the
story complete is found in a
marked copy of the "Pendleton
Tribune" which has reached Cor
wallis. 1t says: When the
baby show was announced there
was grand rush, as usual, for
the front of the platform and
abouta thousand people who or
dinarily would not spend min
ute a year in looking at baby
gathered around the stand and al
most sufocated the timid mothers
who had brought the sweetest
little darling on earth'' for that
prize that was ber's of course.
After somewhat extended ex-
animation of the points of several
babies by the judges aud their
names had been secured, the
mothers, with their treasures,
were invited to the platform
where the audience could get
good look at them. After they
were seated Bennett, shouted that
if any one present wanted his job
he was ready to resign right there
and then. But there was no

HAZING.

With utter disregard for what
is termed Common sense" there
has grown into our college life
what is known as hazing. Col
lege faculties in the West have
winked at the practice or utterly
disr agarded it and to this extent
have made themselves party to
this offense. Why it is less an
offense to heap indignities upon
a collegian than a civilian in the
ordinary walk Of life is some
thing we cannot understand.
The confessed inability of col
lege faculties to cope with the
practice of hazing carries its
own sad commentary,
Young men worthy Of the op-
portunities afforded by course
at college should realize that
hazing is in utter disregard of
the rights of others and leads to
lawlessness, not good citizenship.
None but towards will attack
those who have done them no in
jury and are weaker than them
selves. The incident the other
evening where the object of the
hazers miscarriedan two or three
of them felt sharp steel IN their.
persons is to be regretted. but
no blame can attach to the youth
who defended himself against
personal indignity.
