Just Recognition It is the teudy, unremittcnt work of the reporters that makes possible this or any other college paper; but repor torial position implies a steady grind i l several hundred words per week, for which (here is no adequate compensa tion or reward. l ew of the Fmerald reporters aspire to the editorship or have journalistic ambitions. When they write a good story no one bears about it to give them ■redit. Indeed, about all the notice they receive is the fault finding of the editor, and the sill ikt up notices for neglected college work. One wonders why they are willing to sacrifice so much time and effort when the only possible rec ompense is the improvement in their Fnglish style, and the satisfaction of having rendered an important service to the Varsity. Perhaps it is tru-e, as our detractors and rivals contend, that the Fmerald uses most atrocious Fnglish, hut the fad remains that it is heller Fnglish than is employed by llie great majority of students I bis is proved by the dif ficulties that the "cub" reporters have at lirst, in expressing themselves clearly and forcible. \ couple of years of col lege Fnglish iloes not rid one of the faults ol verbosity and circumlocution; hut three months ol newspaper work, while not, perhaps, reaching elegance and purity, give the reporter a facility and directness ol expression that will be most useful in any walk of life. For, after all, the average man does not need very badly the principles of description and criticism. I!tit he does primarily need the ability to express himself fore ibly and directly, and this may he ac quireil better in newspaper work than in anv other line, provided, of course, one possesses the perseverance and abil ity to improve. I hough there is a natural tendency for one to glorify his own profession, it F difficult for the Fmerald to con ceive any effective argument against proper recognition of this college news paper work. Why should the reporters not receive Fnglish credits, as the ath letes receive physical training credits. I hose reporters do work along the lines ol the college curriculum, ami also sacrifice much time and effort towards putting out a paper capable of repre seining the I'nivcrsily, and, in spite of our critic-, the publications meet an im portant and useful need in college life Otficialh to recognie ami accredit reporton d work would he no more than to acknowledge the benetits of it-, train ing aid to bestow reward where it is due, and also to offer some encourage ment to the ones who are assisting ma teriallv in keeping up Yarsitv prises. Win i- it not done enter I 1 to Freshmen provided an excellent entertainment at their annual class hour j this morning. The quality of the pro j gram came as a pleasant surprise after bumptious announcement dodgers In a feehle . ttempt at cleverness, someone had evidently allowed his desire to be funny to overrule his judgment and taste, and had plastered the University with glaring posters, which were guilty of all crudities front puns to had spell-1 ing The class of 1 *^14 is one of the® best classes that ever entered the Var sity, and the hills were hardly represen tative of the class. Besides, it is pre. sumtious and immodest in anyone, par ticularly Freshmen, to publish broad cast one's cleverness and ability. MANAGER HUNTINGTON DOESN’T WANT MONEY Tickets for the Washington-Oregon debate on March 31st were placed on sale today with various students about the campus. Twenty-five cents is the charge. The low price of admission, it is hoped, will bring out an audience of over live hundred people, as was the case last year in the Utah-Oregon de bate. “The support of the students with, their presence,” says Manager Huntington, “is needed a great deal worse than their money. I do not in tend to make anything on the debate. We want to win, and in order to do so our debaters must be supported by the whole student body. If I thought a ten cent admission would bring a larger crowd and would be consistent with the dignity of the contest, T would reduce the charge to that amount. The primary consideration is the size of the audience. That is why you will be ad mitted for twenty-five cents.” STAND PATTERS SQUELCH LAUREAN INSURGENTS An attempt, which failed, however, to have the investigating committee ap pointed by the House instead of the speaker, bore evidence of the presence of an insurgent group. A heated discussion of the admin istration of the United States pension system, in the Laurean congress Satur day night, gave rise to charges of cor ruption, and resulted in the passing of a resolution providing for an investiga tion of the present pension system.. I he following officers for the bal ance of the semester were elected: President, J. E. Jones; Vice Presi dent, Pickett: Secretary, Ashcraft; I'rcasurer, Barnes; Censor, Dunton; Sergeant at Arms, Huntington; Asst. Secretary, Crockett. I here will be a meeting of the pro posed "Blackthorne Club,” in Heady Hall, Thursday at 4 :(X1 o’clock. The purpose of the meeting is to elect offi cers and perfect the organization of the society.
