The Old Grads As the time for (lie alumni game ap proaches, both old am! new students should remind themselves of the courte sy and honor due our guests, tin* re turning alumni. I here is a tendency on these occa sions, and also at commencements, to forget even the hare duties of hospi tality ?md to woefully neglect the vis itors. It is at no small sacrifice that these old gridiron heroes make the an nual return to the campus to teach the youngsters the game and instill a little of the famous lighting spirit. They re turn to tin- scene of their mighty deeds for the Varsity, and are permitted to walk around alone, often without even a freshman to explain and introduce the present generation. Where, of all places thc\ least expect it, they often encounter an indifference and neglect that cuts deeply. Is it any wonder that lhc\ turn pessimist and withdraw with a black cigar to knock, and to dispar age the present generation of under graduates/ " I here are no times like the old linns of I’rexv Johnson, Dick Smith and ‘ 1 ’ t We should awaken to the duties and opportunities ol netting' in closer touch with these alumni. I hey are the truest, and it sometimes seems, about the only real triends, the l'Diversity has. I'heir annual participation in the alumni game a: the saerihce ol business and at the risk ol person I injury, is but an iuci thnt in their unflagging devotion to our interests Ike "old grads" are always "on the i il>," winning the University vote , trieuds and students. Their labor i- given gratuitously ; the leasi we can no is to slum our appreciation and keep their memories green with the ■ bn,i m iter they 1 we and serve so well 1 b> nu n bo w ill return to the c mi pus ne\t Saturday are largely the men whose glorr ns deeds put Oregon in the pre eminent position among the Northwest colleges that she occupied dm big the years 11 >t)4 5 (> and 7. I hey are tin type ol men who make good in 'lie, and the records ol their lives are the best testimonial ibis, or any other l ui vc r - it y could put forth. It was the tireless etlorts ol these alumni that u the rcivrondum and saved the verv bli ot the college I he power, iutlu cue. and elliv eucv of the University at largi depends upon the faithful, loval alumni workers se ittered throughout the state Only by fostering their inter est i■: i'logon can we preserve this feeling of loyalty and sense of rela tionship on the part of the graduates I rigid receptions will never do it. The alumni never forget the Univer sity. and it is a shame that the under - gravis forget them, and allow them to wander around the campus as total st \t ..me. or at next commencement, let is .tron-e ourselves to our opportunities and duties and show the old grads a royal time, teach them that they re appreciated, their mighty works for Oregon remembered Lets not he afraid of overdoing h > pitality, and while they are here treat the "old timers a- prospective stu dents or pledges l ot us do a little re. 1 rushing. The Pan-Hellenic difficulties will give welcome opportunity for cynical com ments by budding philosophers of the Schopenhauer type. A few flaws in the working of this sorority league should not, however, condemn botli the prin ciple of the league and the administra tive ability of the women of the Uni versity, The fact, which is admitted by all, that every sorority scrupulously obeyed the rules, is in itself a strong testimonial to the co-ed’s respect for laws and fair play. The question of rushing is a delicate problem to handle, and there is always abundant tempta tion and opportunity for crookedness. Xo doubt, the plan will be worked over, some of the faults eliminated, and rush ing put on a basis satisfactory to all concerned. Again we say it: "GE4 COP\ IX EARLY.” Assignments will be posted on the city editor’s desk in the Emerald office, Room 3 of the Dormitory, every Tues day and Eriday morning at eight. Un less it is something special, these sto ries must be left on the city editor’s desk by 4:00 P. A1. of the same day. The unsystematic methods of some of the reporters are intolerable. Copy must be in early and reporters must cease regarding the above rule as a trivial pleasantry. As it goes now, either the Emerald or the reporters must stop —and the Emerald won’t. The Emerald would like to discover some freshman or sophomore who has had experience in practical printing or who is anxious to learn something of printing. Such a man is needed on the staff in the “make-up” of the Em erald in the printing shop. Considcra 1 le practical knowledge of printing may be acquired, and promotion on the staff will be rapid, for there are not many interested in this line, though it is very essential to the success of any paper. An hour or so on the afternoons when the paper is published will be all the tune required. Apply to News Editor I,owell. PROF.
