Emer ald has grown from a semi-weekly to a tri-weekly, with a corresponding in crease in reading matter and effi ciency of news service, its circulation on the campus is still nearly 100 co pies short of what it was at this time last year. Only about half of the members of fraternities and clubs have sub scribed, the manager says, and in some of the sororities the proportion is even smaller. Non-fraternity stu dents have subscribed more generally, but there are many of these who are still not on the lists. If the Emerald is to fill its proper place as the representative organ of the students of the University it must have the active support of every man and woman on the campus. The fundamental manifestation of your interest and aid is the presence of your name on the list of sub sci ibers. PRES. llOMAN SPEAKS TERSELY TO Y. M. C. A. President Homan, of Willamette University, opened the Y. M. C. A. work for the year, Thursday evening, with an address, which dwelt with the “Well Educated Man." Following a vocal solo by John Black, President llotnan immediately launched into his subject. His informal talk contained many epigrammatic expressions, his first being, that to hi; educated “an all round glimpse of knowledge” is nec essary. Continuing, he spoke of the place of the Bible in the world’s lit erature, and that its claim of Divine origin is alone enough to make valid its claim for recognition. President Homan claimed that the Bible is the best and only true source of world vision, and that those who criticise the Church and Bible, usu ally know nothing of either. “A man can not be a man," he said, “and be ignorant of the Scriptures.” In conclusion he quoted Daniel Webster, who, in reply to the ques tion as to what was the greatest thought that ever occupied the human mind, declared, “A man’s individual responsibility to God.” PROFESSORS EFFECT A Tit VUE IN CLASS ROOMS Several changes in the location of class and lecture rooms have recently occurred in the University, tine in the first place to Ur.

SOPHOMORES WIN IN LOWER GLASS FIGHT Continued from first page. line held like the proverbial stone wall. Frosh Nearly Take Tug-of-War, The final clash of the day’s program was announced after the pushball con test had been declared a draw, and two picked teams of ten men each lined up on opposite sides of the cam pus duckpond to test the class sup remacy in a tug-of-war. Right here it should be mentioned that several disinterested upperclassmen had turned water into the artificial lake until the previous level was raised some 20 inches. After several min utes of pulling, the Freshmen took a new interest in life and for an instant things looked bad for the older men. Eventually, however, the Sophomores showed a burst of speed, which re sulted in the final humiliation of their antagonists, Frank Lewis being the first to be immersed in the lake, kidnapping Plans Succeed. The surprise of the afternoon, how ever, was the kidnapping of Prosser, president of the Frosh class. The plan of the Sophs had been carefully laid and proved one of the best coups in college annals. Prosser, under pretext of lending his weighty opin ion to the officials concerning the management of the affair, was sum moned to the field. The Frosh in the grandstand cast proud glances in Prosser’s direction, as he rubbed el bows with the mighty upperclassmen and alumni. In the meantime the Sophomore patrolwagon was sum moned for the ostensible arrest of Hendricks and Howard, the would-be fun makers of the Soph class. During the tight with the police, the wagon pulled up close to Prosser and the wrangling officials. Howard and Hendricks were loaded aboard. Then suddenly the wagon was headed for the gate, the unsuspecting Pros ser unwillingly tossed into the wagon and the horses whipped into a run. The atrocity of the act created mo mentarily consternation among the Frosh in the grandstand and allowed the wagon to get under full hMidway. About the time the wagon passed through the gate, the infants woke up nnd gave pursuit. Sophs (.'heck Pursuit. The Sophs on the ground immedi ately checked this by engaging with the pursuers in a free for all, giving the field police ample time to close and bar the gates. Prosser was taken away and locked in the Morgan barn on Eleventh street, but escaped in time to be on the side lines for the pushball contest.
