THE JUNIOR ANNUAL I lie story of the I'manci.'il failure of last year’s Oregana, reported in this issue of the Knierald, is neither new nor surprising, however sensational it may seem. The Junior Annual has never been a success at the University of Ore gon, and with a possible exception in widely scattered years, we venture the opinion that it never will. The class of 1911 could get a valuable lesson from the experience of Manager Loosley hut they will not. hilled with the enthusiasm of youth, they are rush ing madly on without thought of the end. C. W. Robison is an able editor, lie may put out an exceptional hook and it may pay expenses. But the year will then he like the hook, an exception. The fact is that the students of the University of Oregon do not want the ordinary Annual every year. They will not buy it. Probably one third of them get a single copy. I his is not a lack of college spirit hut an indication that lew students want four copies—one every year—of a hook, every copy of which deals with and contains the same essential material. One, or at least two, copies is all they want as souvenirs of their college life. I )oes not this fact itself suggest a so lution of the problem? Consider! Kadi Undent aims to Imy one or two Annuals during his course at college as some thing to remember in college life. Some buy one every year, hut manifestly the majority do not. Then why publish one every year? The practical solution of the prob lem is simple. Let the Oregana he published every other year by the com hiued junior and senoir classes. Let one class furnish the editor and the other tlm manager. Let the assistants he apportioned fairly among them, and give each class equal attention in the hook itself. I his plan has mam independent ad vantages. Coming only once in two years, the students will not he surfeited with an overstock. B\ interesting two classes in its behalf, the sale will he approximately doubled from tin.- cause alone. These . re the financial benefits But this is not all A first class editor is the exception. \ot more than pnie class in two possesses one. The une fact holds >n regard to the man ager. It is safe to su\ that not one class in four has the good fortune to fun! both a good manager and a good edi tor in its number I low much would the chances improve if two classes united! We know this is wasting words. Tv ei v class thinks that it has exceptional talent and can put out the greatest book on record. \o junior can be con vinecd that their Annual will fail, but am senior can. \ live dollar c’ass tax is a persuasive argumen . ALUMNI Last year, the manager of the Week ly undertook to give 300 copies to the Mumni Association at a club rate of fifty cents per copy. The said as sociation is never very prompt in the payment of its debts and in this case it paid nothing. The Emerald, being a semi-weekly publication, is absolutely unable as a mm ter of business to supply papers at tl price that the c> kiy d:d. But as a matter of college spirit we have decided that we will do it at a slight loss. Our reasons for this are many. We know that most of the old timers want the paper. Daily letters from them are conclusne proof. 'I he only way we can determine just who wants it and who does not, is to ;end it to all and see if they pay for it. It will be necessary, there fore, for those who want the paper to forward us the money at once. If they do not, the paper will be discon tinued. The price of the paper alone will be fifty cents. By special arrangements with the Alumni treasurer, we have arranged to collect the fifty cents for dues at the same time and turn it over to the Alumni association. Alumni who wish the paper will therefore please send to us at once one dollar—half for subscription to the paper and half for association dues. Those who do not receive their pa per w'ill be doing us a favor if they notify us of the fact. SOL. METZGER IS BOSS AT CORVALLIS CORVALLIS, Oct. 14.—(Special to the Emerald)—Carl Wolfif, Oregon Agricultural College's great half-back and punter was summarily dismissed from the football squad on Thursday by Coach Metzger, for disobeying ord ers and breaking training. Wolff has always been a hard man to handle and lias bad much bis own way at the Agri cultural college until this season. When at the beginning of training Wolff show ed a tendency to be stubborn, be was warned several times by Metzger. On several occasions, he disobeyed the coach’s orders, and when he cut prac tice yesterday without giving any rea sons, his dismissal followed. Metzger says that although a good man, WollT had a demoralizing infill cnee on the other men and that the team is better off without him. The students and football men are support ing Metzger and it is believed that by his decided stand he lias broken up the ring formed to buck him. At any rate Metzger lias shown that be means business and that the men who repre sent the Oregon Agricultural College this year, at least, have earned their positions. RECITATIONS ON TEXT BOOKS IN SHOP WORK Text becks will be used henceforth in all shop courses. Such is the de cision of C. W. Converse, who be lieves that by this means more theory can be learned in the limited time al lowed for shop work. “Pamphlets of the International Correspondence School will be used,” says be. “There will l>e two recitations or possibly written quizzes a month, time for these being taken out of the regular shop period, j I he studying will have to be done out side, for the time is too limited to ad mil of giving over a whole period, j ” There should be no complaint on this score."hecontinued. "for it is generally considered that engineering students are taking these courses for what they can get out of them, not for the credit.” DUNN S BAKERY Bread, Pies, Cakes and Confectionery, also Ice Cream and Fruits. 4 E.

Literary Societies The Philologian society held its reg ular meeting last night instead of to night, as had been scheduled, the fea ture of the evening being two sensa tional lectures on "sparking" by L. E. McCoy and Ferdinand Struck. { The latter was prepared on his subject, des cribing minutely and by suggestion the kind pertaining to individuals. McCoy, however, being an electrical engineer, was chietly impressed by the 'spark ing” of an electric dynamo and con fined his remarks to the field he had specalized in. An entire freshman program is sched uled for the Laurean meeting tonight. Core, McFarland, Warner and Beorly will make extempore speeches, after which the question of “A State Prohi bition Law" will be debated. Roberts, Brositts and Cash will argue for the law. and Ed. Baily, Collier and Kuy kendall will oppose it. Several amend ments to the constitution will be taken up at the business meeting. Coach Buchen spoke before the Eu taxians last Wednesday evening, tak ing as his subject "an Easterner’s Im pression of the West." He said that what Oregon lacked in number of stu dents she made up in spirit. As to de luting. he declared that prospects were bright, encouraged the girls in the formation of a women's debate league, and offered his services as coach. W. E. Boddy J. E. Russell G. of o.
