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

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.
