Enlargement. It is our ambition to enlarge the Emerald, adding to the bi-weekly a two page insert. This enlargement is necessary to include all the news. The activity on the campus is grow ing and news of it alone will fill the present four page issue. There are also several departments of news that have been neglected heretofore, but are deserving of space. The work being done in the Academic Depart ments should be more fully treated in our columns. Our faculty is con tinuously doing meritorious work that the majority of students know nothing of. The High schools should be corresponded with and a closer acquaintanceship developed. They are our recruiting grounds. We should know what they are doing and they should know what we are doing; and every High school should know what the others are doing. A column of High school squibs and the Emer ald sent to every Prep school in the state will help in this. The entire Alumni association will receive the Emerald this year, ac cording to an agreement entered into by Manager Dobie and the associa tion last June. If the paper is to be of interest to the Alumni, it must contain news of what our grads are doing. This department will be placed in the hands of some one per son, presumably an Alumnist, who will learn of their triumphs and tribu lations and allow the public to re joice and sympathize with them. Last but not least our Campus Poets and Village Comedians should be given an opportunity to see in print those things the more Do Luxe Monthly declines to accept. The cam pus abounds with wit and humor, and a judicial amount of this lighter vein will liven up the pages of the Emer ald to advantage, and do the Monthly no harm. The editor, who is himself a bromide, is on the lookout for bud ding literary geniuses, and earnestly begs all such to make themselves known. The enlargement will take place as soon as the staff is in good working order and the manager has secured the necessary amount of extra adver tising and made arrangements for printing. TilK S \<JK or 1'OIH’Nk MAKES A FEW REMARKS A soft answer seldom appeasetVi the prof. Many Freshmen find out they haven’t pot a pipe when they tret an order to smoke-up. There is lots of room at the top, hut the elevator poinp up don't carry passenpers. Some people pa/.e at the stars, but most of us are satisfied with the chorus. 1st Fresh: "Who’s the puy that shouts numbers all the time?” 2nd Fresh: "He’s the head of the mathe matics department.” 3rd Fresh: No, he ain’t. That’s Sap Latour ette.” Many people carry their heads hiph because there is no weipht to bother them. Some Freshmen are impressed only when suppressed. ... ;*■■■ at' The editor oupht to have his wits about him part of the time at least. Be Kind to the Freshie. Be kind to the Freshie that comes to our door, for teacher and classes will buffet him sore. Although he’s at times unbearably gay, don’t be in a hurry to chase him away. Just keep him and borrow a slice of his pile, and repay him at leisure with a nod or a smile. His time here is uncertain, nothing is sure, as he flirts with ma thematics and Shakesperian lure. He was here last week and he’s here to-; day, but tomorrow he’s liable to be on his way. Thus the prof’s keep him guessing, and guessing in vain; such a thing is distressing—don’t add to its I pain; be kind to the fresh, and he’ll I be your friend, and help you to a; halo and harp in the end.

Earl Jones, a senior civil engineer, was chosen as engineering editor for the Oregon Monthly. Miss Degermark, editor of the Monthly, has accepted the recom mendation of the engineers and will endeavor to make engineering news a feature of the Monthly. Mr. Jones wants every engineering student to feel responsible for the success of the engineering section of the Monthly and to aid him not only by their moral support, but with copy, suggestions and ideas as well. TRACK WARRIORS CALLED TO WAR CHIEFS COUNCIL The meeting for all men interested in track and field athletics called by Bill Hayward yesterday, was attended by only a few of the old guard. The announcement, which was posted in the gymnasium, was read by only a fraction of the student body, and to this lack of advertising is attributed the poor showing. Another meeting will be held this afternoon in the gymnasium at 4 o’clock, and as it will be announced at the general student assembly this morning, a large attendance and much enthusiasm is expected. DRAMATIC CLUB TRYOUT TO OCCUR THURSDAY P. M. The Dramatic Club has posted no tices for a business meeting Thursday evening at 7 o’clock, in \ illard Hall, for the purpose of electing two officers to till vacancies left by officers leaving college. At 7:1 f> the committee will meet those wishing to tryout for places in the club. The club is extremely anxi ous for a lot of new material this year, as a number of its stellar lights have left college through graduation. Every one with any gift for or incli nation towards the histrionic art should make a special effort to be present at the tryout. DEATH KNELL OK PHILOS SOUNDS AS BAILEY DESERTS An echo, probably the last, of the I passing of the Philologian Debating , Society, was awakened last Saturday, when Walter Bailey, ’12, one of the last faithful supporters of the “Seek ers after Wisdom,” went over to the enemy, and was initiated into the l.aurean Society. This is considered a j tacit admission on the part of the ' Philologians that they have given up j all hope of reorganization. A dinner party was given on Mon day evening by the Gamma Delta Gamma girls in honor of Miss Powell, of Berkeley. Those invited to meet her were Pres, and Mrs. Campbell, Prof, and Mrs. DeCou, Prof, and Mrs. Bovard, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Cham bers, Prof. Thurber, and Mr. M. D. Spencer.
