Dollars Dost to Save Pennies.
The manager of the senior play be
ing possesed of the idea that news
papers were not entitled to the cus
tomary number of “comp” tickets all
managers give them, cut both the city
papers down to no “comps” and the
Emerald, his best friend and advertis
ing medium, to one ticket, allowing
the editor to dig up one whole dollar
for another ticket, in order that his
pardner might not sit alone. The
dramatic critic sneaked up into the
gallery and sat on a fifty cent seat he
paid for himself.
The manager saved some eight or
ten free seats by this procedure, but
at probably far greater cost than he
imagined, for, besides getting himself
in wrong with the papers, the Seniors
got no criticisms following the pro
duction, from neither of the city dailies
and these papers inform the Univer
sity authorities that they will be
mighty conservative with the amount
of free space they give the Univer
sity in the future, because this one
manager refused them the courtesy
accorded thine by every one whose
cause they “boost.”
In the future it might be well for
managers of student activities to re
member that if they expect newspa
pers to grant them free news space
and print articles favorable to the
enterprise and to the University, they
must figure on allowing these papers
free access to it and not quibble too
much over how many reporters are
necessary to do the reporting.
The fact that advertising is taken
out in the papers is no argument for
free news space, for the papers con
sider their advertising space worth
the price paid for it, and are able to
convince the merchants and business
firms that it is worth face value.
At the production in question there
were at least one hundred seats not
sold, the manager claims he was al
lowed but eighteen “comps" to distri
bute. The three newspapers got one,
the actors say they got none; to
what deserving parties did the other
seventeen go? Yarily, a few pennies
are sometimes saved at the expense
of dollars.
“Entitled to Win."
If anyone is entitled to win the open
tournament in golf, licit l’rescott is
that one, for he has worked constant
ly for years tv' popularize the game,
and has at last succeeded in arousing
widespread interest in the Scotch
sport, to say nothing of spending a
considerable amount of his own money
putting the courses in condition.
The Emerald congratulates you,
“McPrescott,” and challenges, in your
behalf, all comers, predicting you will
“clean ’em up.”
Interest in the great American
game will probably not be allowed to
die out during the vacation, as the
Seniors have challenged the “Left
overs” to a game to be pulled off next
Monday afternoon.
Father Tom Kelly’s recruits will
work out in the intelectual atmos
phere of the campus diamond this aft
ernoon. Kelly’s apostles will fly at
the throats of the Cottage Grove ex
ponents of Parkisonism and Liberal
Education, next Sunday afternoon, at
Midway Park.
There are several Seniors in the
team of proven ability, and others of
averred ability to make up the bal
ance of the team, and a lively contest
is likely to result.
Nick Williams’ team did not like
the looks of Eugene’s pale water and
made their mid-valley stop at Albany.
Dr. J. C. Booth, ’98, of Lebanon,
was in Eugene last week attending
the County Medical Association.
