Making the Emerald Worth Adver tising In. We wonder if the students realize the thorougness of the Emerald’s ad vertising columns now and the necess ity of keeping them so. At present the Emerald contains advertisements from more business firms than do any of the city papers. The appeal of the new manager for adds has been met nobly by the Eugene merchants and it is up to the students to make good the claims of the manager to the merchants, patronizing those firms advertising, and those only. House managers, men, women, fae uulty members, if you need new cloth ing, something to eat, shoes to wear, stationery to write on, candy to chew, tobacco to smoke, a shave, millinery, art lessons, photos, teeth pulled, chaf ing dish, appendix cut-out, jewelry, i skate-roller, dirty clothes laundered, suits pressed, an auto, car ride, bank to put your roll in, moving pictures, lardware, shoes repaired, or a job for ;he summer, the Emerald can tell you where to get it and, by informer, where not to. Watch the Emerald adds, they’re ive, they contain bargains and infor mation worth knowing, and then when you buy, buy through the Emerald col jmns and mention to the merchants the fact that you are doing so. You have no idea what an influence such things can have. In Portland many of the leading mercantile firms have put in stocks of Union Made goods, simply because of the insist ent demand for them by the union people. The Emerald will be a daily just as soon as the students make the merchants feel that it pays to adver tise in the University paper, and no sooner. Let everybody work for the “bigger, better, and oftener Emerald” and it will come shortly. The Great Library Evil Whether or not the frequent com plaints that the Library is kept too hot have reached the ears of those in charge of the building, we are not prepared to say, but that that room is poorly ventilated and so warm as to impede the ability of one to study, to say nothing of injuring the stu dent’s health, is the complaint of ev eryone, and that the librarians should attend to the correction of these evils immediately, common sense sanitation demands. We suggest that Professor Sweetser be consulted as to what degree of heat is conducive to good study, and then plan to keep the thermometer two de grees lower than this, trusting that those who can not stand the cold will dress warmer, and also get expert testimony as to how often a room should be changed, and then devise methods of changing the air that of ten, if not oftener. We have ample opportunity to put some of our scientific rules regarding sanitation into practice right here on the campus, and the Library is a mighty good place to start. Please Invite Us This Year. I Well, we have found out all right who presented the Emerald cup, but we are still peeved to think that we were cheated out of our distinguished right. Perhaps if the editor is sent an invitation to attend the annual Woman’s Gymnasium Exhibit, to be held some time this spring, he will be able to forget the cruel wrong done him. By the way, why not invite all us mere men this year? Certainly, in this enlightened age of equal rights, equal suffrage and single standards, it would not be out of form. It might even be considered by some silly and falsely modest to deny man this right. Fair women of our glorious and re nowned University, won’t you please invite us this year? * * * * * * * * * * * SAGE OF PODUNK * * * * He He He * He He H« In politics most anyone can make a clean sweep, if he can raise the ‘dust.’ * * It seems to be a custom for English noblemen to come to America and trade their family tree for a business plant. * * Hitch your wagon to a star, if you please, but be sure to get out of the wagon. * * Show thyself, for now the profs de mand you study with your class, or else be canned. * * “Stone walls do not a person make, Nor iron bars a cage; But nobody wants them together, For a life long heritage.
