Freshmen in the University of Wash iugton this fall may appear on the cam pus wearing any hue of headgear their tastes may dictate and may in general conduct themselves as do upperclass- men, without let or bindrance from their traditional superiors, the sOpho- mores. The faculty has liberated from bondage the class of 1918, and all to come hereafter, by the abolition of the freshman rules, laid down and enforced by many college generations by the second year men. The annual and pie turesque tieup has been discarded, and no substitute will be provided. There will be uo more green caps, or general rules of campus conduct, other than those which the faculty itself chooses to impose on the student body at large The faculty's own rule that freshmen shall enter assembly by the rear door of Meany hall and occupy position of vantage in the balcony is the only one aimed especially at the frst-year men, and was drafted to permit better assembling and dismissiDg of the stu dent gatherings. A committee of fac- ulty mem bers has been instituted for the specific purpose of advising fresh men regarding university rules and matters concerning it's government.

A Natural Born Liar

The height of absurdity, says the Skagway Alaskan, is reached in the following story told to the Albany (Or) Democrat by one Clark Burgard, who claims to be the son of an ex-council- man of Portland. That he could find anyone to listen to his fantastic and unbelievable tale is hardly credible but the wonder is greatly increased when it is taken up and given publicity to by a newspaper of presumably good standing. Listen to this:
 "Telling of hairbreadth escapes, the perils faced by men who use tooth brushes in the wilds and the running of steam mboats with drunken crews, Clark Burgard, a son of John Burgard, ex.councilman of Portland, visited in Albany a short time yesterday, while on his way back to the university at Eugene, where he is a senior.
 "Immediately after leaving college early in the summer, Clark, accom-. panied by his younger brother, Will liam Burgard, left for Alaska, where their father is interested in several salmon steamships that piled along lhe coast of Alaska. The first morning in the fo'castle of the ship Clark Burgard produced a tooth brush and commenced his morn ing ablutions. From the entire crew there came a roar of derisioD, and there after Burgard waited until coming ashore before he cleaned bis teeth.
 civilian Burgard, we'll known in AL bany. went as deck hand on a second boat. At point a little above Juneau the captain and mates went ashore, en- loved themselves and became hilarious ly drunk. Five hours after the sched- uled sailing of the boat, young Bur gard went ashore and dragged the exu- beraut officers aboard.
 "Though a green hand, the young mau bad learned to box the compass and that night, with a drunken crew, he left the port above Juneau aud by z o'clock the next morning had suc- cessfully steered the boat through the darkness into Juneau. Officers of the company came down, heard the tale and made bim captain of the boat for the remainder of the summer"
