It is to be hoped that students will attend the sessions of the Common wealth meeting which will be held at the University of Oregon, Friday and Saturday of this week. This convention is arranged with much care and labor by University authorities, led by Prof. Young; the men who will deliver papers and lead in the discussions are recognized authorities in their respective sub jects; and the topics up for considera tion are vital to the state and the na tion—touching social and economic relationships and the growing move ment of Conservation of Natural Re sources, to say nothing of questions effecting education. There is something wrong with stu dents of an institution of higher learning, when they will absent them selves, purposely, from an excellent opportunity of becoming better ac quainted with conditions of the state and nation in which they live, and much as we hate to admit it, the stu dents of this University are to be crit isized for their scant attendance at these meetings in the two years past. We are censured severely nowadays for being frivolous, and our institu tion is said to be doing the state and ourselves no practical good. Of course, weknowthat these criticisms are large ly unjust, for we know that our own purpose in life is jus| as serious at that of other people, and that we would not be in this university, if we did not think it worth our while. To convince the voters of the state, how ever, that this is a fact, is another thing. They look for evidence, sym bols and appearances, and if they do not find them, are apt to pass judg ment upon the institution not calcu lated to increase its appropriation, and they are not to be blamed either, for the whole world judges a tree by its fruits. Let us fill Villard Hall and show our visitors that we nre interested in something besides athletics and so cial affairs, let us enter into the dis cussions and prove tsat we, too, know something of social economics, edu cation, and conservation. This Com monwealth conference will be the greatest economic conference ever held in the state of Oregon. It is up to the students to make it the greatest conference from the stand point of attendance. The Late Emerald. The reason Saturday’s Emerald did not appear until Monday of this week is that it was not run off on the press. The editor had his work completed at 6:80 P. M., and left the printing shop, thinking1 the pressman would complete the publication as usual. The carriers went to the shop to fold and deliver and waited there until 10 o’clock, but as no one came to run off the paper, they left. The pressman completed his work Mon day morning. We sincerely regret this. It is the first time the Emerald has not come out on time in years and there was no real reason for it being: late this time. There will probably be no reoccur ance this year. Dramatic Amateuralism. Just what is “Dramatic Amateur alism?” This expression has puzzled the minds of Emerald readers ever since the criticism of Dr. Milner’s song recital which appeared in the last issue. The article goes on to state: “Dramatic amateuralism character izes his singing:, but it is not the ama turalism which runs away with itself and the singer. Dr. Milner carried himself always with a poise and re serve that showed the scope of the scholarly mind which interpreted the songs.” nut just wnat is meant Dy it, no one has has yet decided. The writer of the article explains ! that he wrote it “dramatic emotion alism” and that the man at the ma chine coined the expression. The lino typist says he does well to make any thing out of this individuals scrib bling, which is the worst he has ever had to contend with in forty years of typesetting, and that, anyhow, the Emerald proof-reader is supposed to correct all mistakes in type. The proof-reader claims he is no musician and does not know one technical ex pression from another, and that “dramatic amateuralism” looked pood to him and be left it as it was. But the real point at issue is what does “dramatic amateuralism” mean. It sounds well, almost too pood to dis card, and if anyone can tell us what it means, we will undoubtedly have coined unintentionally a valuable ex pression which musical critics may use in the future. -- ♦ — Wo would ever have thoupht that I the devotees of Lawn Tennis would find so much to fipht about. Tennis is supposed to be an Alfonse-Gaston pame, where a man pives his oppon ent the benefit of the doubt, and such a thinp as a squabble arisinp is al most unheard of. Evidently there were too many doubts to pive away this year. First ; is was Bond vs. Squad, then Bond, Prescott, Tiffany, vs. Squad, then more Bond vs. Squad, then Lytle vs. Squad, and last but by no means least Yaden vs. Defeat, endinp with Yaden victorious. Who says there is no life to tennis | at Orepon ? * * * ♦ ******* * * EMERALD STAFF—ATTEN TION * There will probably be but five * * more issues of the Emerald and * * you are asked to do your work * * on these issues just as faithfully * * and as promptly as though the * * end were not so neav. * * Please do not resign at this * * hour, or throw the paper down, * * to use a popular expression. We * * nre running more news now * * than has ever been run in a reg- * * ular Emerald before, the demands * * of the printer as to the time of * * publishing have become more ex- * * acting recently, and it is too * * late to break in any new ma- * * terial. * * Get your stories in on Tues- * * days and Thursdays.

The change was made inorder to attract as many or the Seattle business men as possible. The Washington State College cadet regiment went to Clarkston, Idaho, for an encampment last week. A special portable wireless outfit was | carried along as part of the equip- : tnent. and messages were sent to the Evergreen at Pulman. VICTORIOUS RUNNERS RETURN FROM SOUTH McClure’s Choice Certain, Hawk’s Is a Probability—Three “O” Men on Coast Team. That Walter McClure, T3, will rep resent the M. A. A. C. at the Olym pic games in Stockholm, is practi cally certain, and that the selection of Martin Hawkins, ’12, by the North west selection committee, to be one of the five hurdlers representing the United States, is quite probable, is the opinion of “Bill” Hayward and other trainers and sporting editors on the coast. Their decisions were based upon the work of these two athletes in the tryouts held last Saturday at Berke ley. It is the opinion of the Southern critics, including Walter Christie, the U. of C. trainer, Dr. Hall, of the U. of W., and Hayward, that the little McClure is the best distance man in the country, barring not even John Paul Jones, of Cornell, the present mile record holder, or Baker of Ober lin, last year’s collegiate champion. Neither of these men, despite their previous records, have come within hailing distance of McClure’s 4:24. A place on the American Olympic team is assured for McClure, due to the fact that so far, the fastest time made in any 1,500 meter tryout, has been 4:06 3-5, made by an English man. This is three seconds shy of McClure’s mark, and the Oregon veg etarian finished two hundred and fifty yards ahead of his lone competitor last Saturday. Hayward predicts for McClure a record of four minutes or less, as a world’s record in his chosen event. Should the second man in the 120 yard hurdle tryout in the east finish farther behind the first place men than Hawkins did behind Kelly, and in slower time, Hawkins’ selection is quite probable. The fact that Haw kins defeated Smithson, the present record holder, will have considerable weight with James E. Sullivan and has National selection committee. Should McClure have an opportun ity to wear the winged “M” across the “big drink,” Bill Hayward will probably accompany his protege, as he considers his advice and strategic race planning of great importance to McClure in his running. Bill Neill, McClure and Hawkins are Oregon’s contribution to the all Coast track team picked by Christie of California. Neill is given the javelin honors on account of his work in the conference meet, while the work of the other two lemon yellow athletes easily won for them a place. Thorp, of the University of Southern Califor nia, is given the call over Courtney of the U. of W. in the sprints, in fact the Evergreen institution has no rep resentation on the coast selection. TENNIS CLUB ASPIRANTS WILL PLAY THIS WEEK Tryouts for the Women’s Tennis Club will be held during the remain der of this week, on the women’s courts. Owing to the number of aspirants for membership, all who intend to play must arrange their hours with Miss Perkins or Mildred Bagley, who will keep a record of the matches. The “Beginners Tournament,” de signed for novices at the game, will be held after the tryouts, and any one who intends to play in that tour nament, are urge to enter the club tryouts, also, for the sake of prac tice. Those who intend to enter both, are requested to sign up for the Ten nis Club tryouts first. Those who do not make the Tennis Club, are eligible for the “Beginner’s Tournament.” The University of Missouri is to publish an athletic book. It will con tain a record of all the scores and pictures of all the football teams which have represented Missouri dur ing the past twenty-two years. Columbia University is seriously considering a rule establishing a schol arship standard as a condition of en trance into Greek-letter fraternities. DIRECTOR BUEHRER HERE Stanford University Instructor Ar rives to Take Charge of Com mencement Music. Mr. Buehrer, of Stanford Univer sity, who will direct the Commence ment music, arrived in Eugene Tues day morning and will hold the first rehearsal of the chorus Thursday evening, at 7 o’clock, in Villard Hall, and a rehearsal of the orchestra Sun day afternoon in Villard, at 2:30 P. M. Special emphasis is being placed on music for this commencement. The chorus for Sunday will contain over a hundred voices picked from the University and city and it will sing, accompanied by the orchestra. The orchestra is being picked with great care from the musicians of Eu gene, and will be augmented with a number of men from Portland. While it will not be very large, twenty to twenty-three pieces, Mr. Buehrer predicts that it will render service superior to any previous or ganization of it’s kind which has served during commencement, due to the careful selection of musicians and the thorough drilling it will get. Mr. Buehrer comes to the Univer sity after years of experience in con ducting: orchestras and choruses. He is a thorough musician, plays violin, composes, and arranges and is a sing:er of no mean ability. He will conduct classes in music during: the summer school in addition to his com mencement work. President Camp bell and the faculty of the school feel fortunate in being: able to add so cap able a musician and conductor to the University faculty. TENNIS TEAM CHOSEN Stine, Brooks, and Yaden Win Places Over Large Number of Contestants. After one of the most hotly con tested and exciting tryouts in the his tory of the University, the varsity tennis team to play the U. of W. in Seattle, has been chosen. Stine, by winning the first round robin, secured his place, and after several matches, the other contestants were narrowed down to Brooks, Ya den and Shattuck. Brooks won from Yaden 14-12, 6-1, and from Shattuck 6-1,6-0. Yaden won from Shattuck 6-0, 10-8, in a hotly contested match, which was finished this morning. The last two matches were played under the greatest difficulty, due to the condition of the weather. Mr. Prescott was asked to pick the last two members of the team, but for some reason the tournament method was again taken up. Stine and Brooks will play singles, while Stine and Yaden will play dou bles. The team will stop over in Portland, where they will have sev eral practice matches with M. A. A. C., Thursday afternoon, leaving for Seattle in the evening, where they will play Friday and Saturday. Lunch was served today at the Boy’s Dormitory for State Railroad Commisioner Miller, President Camp bell, Hon. Allen Eaton, and Steward Johnson. Secretary of State Ben 011 cott was entertained at the Sigma Nu house. Instruction in swimming, canoe handling and loading is the latest ad dition to the ex-officio curriculum at the University of Washington. Ac cording to an announcement made by lowing coach Hiram Connibear last week the courses will start immedi ately. Taxicabs and flowers were debarred from the Junior prom at the Univer sity of Washington last Saturday.
