OIK STAR REPORTER “Who is the Emerald’s star repor ter?” This was the question an inquisitive Co-ed put to the managing editor a few days ago, and which he couldn’t answer. He started to name one, but each time as he was about to mention one of his news sleuths, he remembered an instance when this one had failed to get his story in on time, or that one had slutFed a good story into a six line squib, while still another hadn’t shown up at all. So what he did was to tell her that they were all “star” reporters yes, he did have “some” staff. Oh, how that did hurt! Every pa per is supposed to have a star re porter, at least every novel involving newspapers has one; so the Emerald is to have a star reporter, that is, a major star in the Emerald’s aforemen tioned constellation. Hut it will take two weeks to pick him. Here is the plan: To the Emerald reporter who does the beat work in two weeks the Emerald will give $'1.00, in addition to making him the “star” reporter. To the sec ond best reporter will be handed $2.50. This will apply to all reporters and heads of departments. The city edi tor, the copy editors, and the “higher ups” will not be eligible in this con test, but the others will have an equal chance. There are a lot of qualifications for a star reporter, but three are import ant. The first is to be able to "cover” a story when he sees it, no matter whether it has been assigned or not. This is originality, or in newspaper slang a “nose for news.” The second is reliability. When a story is as signed, it must be covered fully, and without fail. The third is promptness. Every managing editor has a fight on his hands with each of hfs stall' to keep the copy coming in early. It is, natural that each reporter feel that since the paper does not come out un til live o’clock, his story can wait until 4:20, because it is important and the paper must have it. The result is that the typesetting machines, which have been idle half the day, are flood ed with copy just before press time. I he paper is late and the subscriber growls because he has to go to bed without his Emerald. The Emerald reporter covering the average story, has two days to get it in, and he must get it in as promptly as possible on the first day. Here are the rules for the Emerald’s star reporter contest: For every original story found by the reporter which has not been as signed, the reporter will l>e given from 60 to 500 credits, according to the worth of the story. For every story turned in late,— that is when a story happening early Monday is not turned in until Tuesday morning, or a story available Monday night does not come until noon the next day, the reporter is fined from 50 to 200 credits, according to the seri ousness of the procrastination. When any reporter fails to cover his assignment without excuse that is without explaining to the city editor . .why his story is not available, and ob taining a release, he Is fined 500 credits. The reporter with the greatest num ber of credits checked°to him at the end of two weeks, receives" the honor of star reporter, with the accompany ing prize. The prize may be in cash or in trade with the Emerald advertisers. If in trade, the first prize is worth $4.00, if in cash, $3.00. The second prize is worth $2.50 in trade or $2.00 in cash. oooooooooooo o SOCIETY o o o o By May Smith. o oooooooooooo Charles F.

A.” At present the association wishes to co operate with the Oregon alumnae in their work. The Fellowship Commit tee of the organization has awarded and maintained 28 foreign fellowships of $500 each and eleven American of $250 or $350 each. A candidate for this fellowship must hold the degree of Ph. D. or must present work, which in the judgment of the committee of experts in her chosen field would en title her to the Ph. D. degree. This committee makes a study of the pres ent laws and their operation; it stu dies proposed legislation affecting educational institutions and methods, and helps to further desirable and pre vent undesirable legislation. Members of the Association who are serving as trustees of colleges form a committee which considers such subjects as tuition, number of students, housing, food, and hygiene, social conditions, courses of study, grading, systems, and the relative merits of entrance by examination or on certificate. Since 1898 this com mittee has had charge of collecting and publishing statistical and other information of special interest to col lege women. It has studied school sanitation, juvenile courts, child labor, playground privileges, and is at pres ent investigating the subject of voca tional opportunities for college trained women. by Captain Brooks for Monday after noon, at 4 o’clock.
