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.”

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.
