SUBSCRIPTION RATES ne year--__$1.00 Single copy _ £5 Saturday, January 7, 1911 An Opportunity for Demonstrat ing Oregon Spirit C ollege will be dismissed Friday, to allow the students an opportunity of attending the week end Commonwealth Day exercises. On this occasion, as at Varsity games, the Oregon spirit will he at a test, for the L’niversity needs our attendance at these exercises as much as at a football game. Prominent men will he here from all parts of the state, and their impression of us will be based largely on the showing we make, and it is important that we accord the dis tinguished speakers large audiences, for the size of the audiences will show the interest we have in them and their mes sage on state questions. Fn-t year an elaborate anil interesting program was prepared only to be wasted on empty halls. Naturally the speakers were piqued at their cold reception, and carried away distinctly unfavorable im pressions of the college. Perhaps we may not be wildly excited over the topics, nor believe they are of live interest to us, but these problems demand attention from us ns members of the commonwealth, as students sub sidized by the state, and as members oi our college, which will be put on trial. As a matter of fact, we will prob able not find them as dry as most oi us imagine, but anyhow Oregon spirit spells sacrifice for the Varsity, and even if we do regard it as an unpleasant duty, we owe it to Oregon to attend. One never learns how many friends hi- lias until some indiscretion gives the triends an opportunity for admon ishment and criticism. It is much the same with a newspaper. The Emerald staff had never realized the number oi readers the paper had nor their (Icel and abiding concern until the “pied’ issue of January 4 appeared. Then r majority of the subscribers who here tofore had never taken enough interest in the Emerald to pay their subscription' or to notice the commendable features hastened to express their pain, grid and mortification 1 he make-up was really atrocious and any excuses would, of course, be idle I he least said about it the better In the last analysis the editor is, ol course, responsible, and the only com ment befit dug him is the assurance that special effort will be put forth to guard against a repetition of the unfortunate occurrence. Nothing succeeds like success, and a reputation for winning is half the bat tle Ibis is especially true of collegiate contests I he w inning tradition counts tor much, and we have won many of our athletic contests simply because our op ponents expected defeat Several wars ago we had this reputation in forensics. Then we sloughed, but last year came hack, and won the championship of four states Debate has received a new im petus. and by upholding last year’s vic torious record, we can soon acquire a • reputation for winning that will itself go bar toward victory Hearty support and interest in the team by the whole student body, and many candidates in the tryouts, are important factors of success in this most important branch of student activity. With the increasing interest in rugby, soccer and la crosse, and the inter-fra ternity and inter-class basketball leagues, it is hard to see how this University can be accused of sacrificing the athletic good of the many for specialization on the few. Gymnasium classes are sys tematically organized, and every student is supposed to spend at least two hours weekly in c .lesthenics. Every effort I is being made to get every student in | terested in at least one branch of ath | letics, and attendance at these intra ! collegiate games will readily convince | one that they are not “specialized” ath letics, but “athletics for the masses,” in which anyone may participate. With ; such inducements for general exercise, it is hard to conceive the force of the “intra-collegiate” movement here at i Oregon. The last Washington legislature grant ed the State University something like $962,000. The population of the state is a little over a million. The popula • tion of the state of Oregon is something over 672,000. Thus why speculate any longer upon the appropriation which our assembling legislatur ewill grant us' It is a beautifully simple problem and one that any school boy, or even eco nomics student, could solve by the sim ple old rule of three. A is to B as C is to X, or 1,000,000 is to 672,000 as $962,000 is to X, supposing X to repre sent our coming appropriation. Our slide rule engineers could solve it, and the economic Seniors could plot it ;cr the instruction and enlightenment of the legislators who will visit us. Y. W. C. A. WILL LISTEN TO PROF. H. C.

He handled this delicate subject in a forcible yet s.me and sensible manner, omitting till the morbid phases of the question, but I driving the truths home with thorough ness and directness. I hat a plain discussion was appre ciated by the men of the University was evidenced by the fact that nearly sev enty-live men were present to hear the talk, and after its conclusion a ktrge number remained to make the acquain tance of Dr. Thompson.
