The ambition of the Emerald is to be thoroughly representative of all phases of the l Diversity of Oregon; to so re lied University life that from these col umns an outsider may obtain a true idea of what we are, what we stand for .what we aspire to. v\s a first essential, we will try to print all the news, defining news as all legitimate topics of interest to the col lege in general. We hope to make the Finer,aid recognized and accredited as the real college paper, read by every one because it interests everyone. The Emerald will not break the traditions of fowner University publications, and will strive to keep away from “yellow ness." "funnyness,” and ungrammatical constructions. It will endeavor to adopt the methods and systems of real news papers, that all the news may be cov ered and put promptly before the stu dents. I lie held of ilu‘ Kmerald will lie as large as is compatible witli its restric tion to a college paper. Our aim will he to make every issue of vital interest to even student. Women of the Uni versity, especially, will he considered, and though the Kmerald will contain no “Realm heminine," a special effort will he made to enlist their interest and support. In short, the Kmerald will endeavor to he the paper of all the stu dents, remembering that nothing else can speak for all the diverse phases of college hie. \s a further means of appeal, the Kmerald columns will he open to the stu dents ft i short editorials on topics of general interest If you have some idea, "lu g" or suggestion on a subject of general interest, these columns are open to you, provided, of course, that your article is not personal, anonymous, nor too long drawn out. It is hoped these student editorials will become one of the strong features of the paper, and do their -hare in shaping campus senti ment. t he Kmerald is a confirmed optimist, and will do all possible to further the intluenee and development of the Uni versity, 1 hough it will not go in for the cruder v.mctv of Ivoosting, which consists mainlv in proclaiming loudly your own advantages and virtues, this paper will advocate everything making for the glorv and growth of Old Oregon and tor the enlargement and success of student activities. In thi- connecti n. it i- proposed in the near future to enlarge the Kmerald from ve fifteen-inch columns to six twenty-inch columns. The college furnishes more than enough news, and the heartv support of tin- Eugene merchants assures mate rial tor the ul columns. j ditorullv. the Kmerald will try to voii\e ihe hopes, opinions, and perhaps uuco^i-ciously the foibles of the typical \ Oregon student as nearly as we can imagine him. If in your opinion we fail, please re member that friendly suggestions are always more effective than knocks. Death is a sorrokful, awful thing. Si:ire the beginning, each generation of mankind has struggled with it. It is ja world old fight. Every race has tried in vain to solve the problem, to evade ! the bitter, inevitable obligation. | Each day we read of death, but we I .are busy, and until it touches us closely we pass it by with hardly a thought. Indeed, we are all egoists, and the hor ror of death is in inverse ratio to its distance from us. It is only when it strikes in our midst like a bolt from a clear sky that we are aware of its cruel significance. Terrified, we gasp with horror that one who yesterday was one of us, today is beyond the reach of all things mortal. Death has added horror when it sud denly seizes a strong young man. There is the unexpectedness of the blow. All his aims, desires and efforts, his very life, in fact, have been of the future, and suddenly death denies him a future. Any effusive eulogy on Sam Davidson would lie both presumptuous and ill timed, for the memory of a good and useful life far exceeds both in beauty and durability any eulogy or monument. Sam I kividson’s true monument will consist of the loving remembrance of us, his fellow students, who knew him best, lie will be remembered by his friends—and he had no enemies—for plain, unaffected good fellowship, kind mss and straight dealing. Sam David son, likeAbu Hen Adham, possessed what is probably the highest of all virtues. IE- loved his fellow men. Manager Dobie, of the Emerald, needs a circulation manager. The duties of this position are not onerous, but like all great business positions positions, requires system, attention and reliabil ity. A sophomore is preferred, as he will have a chance for promotion. Here is an opening for some hustling young in *n cltM’irona of becoming- power iti the business world. Hand your name to Dobie. Y. M. C. A. STAG SOCIAL The V. M. C. A. stag social at the Dormitory last night was unqualifiedly the "best yet.” From the time the freshman w.as met at the door and a ticket "good for one drink" was shoved in his hand, until he strained his voice on the last lines of the "Oregon Toast,” there was something stirring till the time. Two rings of hot hand led off by the ' old guard." represented by Ferd Stuck, "llippo" (iillis and Holton 11 amble soon warmed everyone up to the occa sion. 1 he real drawing card of the evening, howe.er, was the rooster tight, for a silver cup offered by Faraway, the jew eler, to become the property of the winner for one year, or so long as he successfully defends his title to the championship. "llippo” (iillis, three years champion, accommodated a long list of aspirants for his laurels and the cup, but came out without a scratch, the undisputed champion of rooster tights and received the silver cup from the hands of Hen 11. Williams, ex-pres ident of the Student Hody. “Hetween halves" of the conte'st the "good for one drink" tickets were passed, in at the "bar" for a big glass of rich i brown cider. 1'hen President Campbell and Student Hods President ( oilier spoke a few words on Univer sity life They were followed by dif ferent students who spoke of the branch of student activities in which they were particularly interested.

NEW NOUSES FOR SEVERAL FRATERNITIES MUCH BUILDING AND SEV ERAL CHANGES IN LOCATIONS Fraternities, Clubs and Sororities Are Clustering More Around Campus. Probably at no other time has there been such activity in building among the fraternities at the University of Oregon as there has been this summer. Five new houses have been built or are in course of construction by the vari ous fraternities. One new club has been added, the Delta Sigmas, which is lo cated in the house occupied last year by the Gamma Delta Gamma sorority. The new Alpha Tau Omega house, situated on Oak street between Elev enth and Twelfth, is a concrete block structure and is modern in every detail. Ii has fourteen bed rooms and is steam heated. Among other things it con tains a large reception hall and a bil liard room on the first floor, and a cozy lounging room with ai fireplace on the second floor. The new Kappa Sigma house is a large sixty-four by eighty foot wooden building and is rough finished and stained. 1 he style of architecture is Swiss chalet, and gives the building a neat appearance. } It contains fifteen bed rooms and has three wide fire places. The building is not fully com pleted, but it is occupied by the fra ternity, completion only depending on the arrival of a shipment of hardware from the East. It is located on the cor ner of Alder and Eleventh. Among the sororities, the Kappa Al pha 1 betas, the Gamma Delta Gammas and the Lambda Rhos have new build inns. 1 be In :ipp:i Alpha T1iata Koiicq is a large structure of colonial style of architecture. The wood work is finished in red mahogany, and unlike most so rority houses, is without a veranda. The peculiar feature of the house is that the siding runs entirely to the ground. 1 he Kappa Alpha Thetas are now sit uated at the corner of Twelfth and Hilyard. 1 he new Lambda Rho house, situated on Alder between Thirteenth and Four teenth streets, is probably the most peculiarly constructed of any. Its style is Southern colonial. The striking fea tures of the building are the two-story pilars in front and the sloping roof. I he house is well arranged and beau tifully finished. 1 he Gamma Delta Gamma house, sit uated between Hilyard and Alder on 1 hirtcenth. is not yet completed, but the members expect to occupy it in a short time. It partakes a little of the bungalow style. 1 he 1 aw di Club is now located on Alder street, between Eleventh and l welfth, in the house formerly occu pied by the Kappa Alpha Theta coror ity. Y. W.
