In keeping with the custom of the national journalistic fraternity, Sig ma Delta Chi, three members elect have attempted to edit this issue of the Emerald, We feel greatly honi^ ored to be given an opportunity to be come members of this order, and we hope that this paper will meet with the approval of its readers. It is on the success of this issue that out initiation depends, and if there is fault to find, we hope that the readers will take in to consideration the fact that we have already paid the penalty of our faults by editing this issue in our “boiled shirts and claw hammers.” WE SHOULD WORRY Sometimes at a University dance, especially if we have not danced with all the ladies of our choice, one hears the criticism about 12 o’clock being to early for the music to stop—why not make it one o’clock instead? The following clipped from the announce ments in the University of Washing ton Daily speaks for itself: Freshmen—The dance tonight will start at 7:30 p. m. and will close promptly at 10:30. THE AFTERMATH Sunday, five hundred High School students, quests of the University during the Junior Week-End, went back to their five hundred different homes throughout the State, carrying with them a new idea of the Univer sity of Oregon and a fair insight into the lives and habits of the students with whom they visited. Wo hope that the results will be for a mutual benefit. They, as High School students about to graduate and casting about for a place to go next year, have been shown what we have here at Eugene. Many of them from the smaller towns were entirely ignorant of the why and wherefore of a University. This trip has been an event in their lives. They have come here and have matched their athletic skill .n competition with others of their class. At the same time they have not failed to recognize the Oregon Spirit; they have come in closer contact with the University during these few days than in a life time at home. We welcomed them as prospective students. Next fall we hope to see'them back. Moreover, they took with them to practically one thousand voters of the State a definite idea of the University and the work that is being accom plished here. HE SI HE TO VOTE Don’t forget, the polls are open to morrow from 1 Oa. m. until 2 p. m. Some of the elections n:o going to be close. If you have some man in mind who you think should have the posi tion, by all means give him your sup port; every vote counts and perhaps he needs it. If he is d\ .eated, (.Ion t be the one who sits around the fire place Wednesday night downcast and wishing, "Now, if I bad only voted. May 10, the Stanford University baseball team left San Francisco on the Nippon Maru for a ten weeks trip) to Japan anil back by the way of Honolulu. The Keio University of Tokio guarantees the Stanford men $3,500 toward the expenses of their trip. THE EDITORSHIP Misapprehension of facts by many students impels me to make a public statement regarding a matter in which I had fully in tended to remain silent. I accepted the editorship of the Emerald with the complete con viction that it is a Student Body organ, to be devoted wholly to the greater interests of the University. So far as has been reasonably with in my power and judgment, it has been devoted to those interests. Everyone who. has shown any abil ity coupled with willingness to work has been wanted on the staff and has held his position by the same qualifications. Not one person has been “fired” from the staff this year not a man has been dropped except upon his own request or af ter weeks of absence had sh <wn definitely that he no longer desired to work. The staff has been organ ized with the single aim of effi ciency and with the sole object of getting out the best possible pa per. No one has more regretted than the present editor that all the college journalists were not active ly working on the Emerald. As between the candidates I shall vote for the one who in my individual judgment is best quali fied for the position, but there is no administration candidate. The Student Body will elect its editor tomorrow, and iff is my earnest hope that no motive but sincere judgment based upon definite qual ifications will influence a single vote. Moreover, whichever man is elected will be immediately offered the assistant editorship for the rest of the year, and will be given an opportunity to get thoroughly in touch with the members of the present staff and organize his work for the coming year. I shall give all possible assistance toward mak ing the Emerald next year as much better than this year’s as it should normally be. I trust that I shall be met half way. I trust also that this will be taken as the frank statement of facts in the interest of the Student Body, for which it was intended. KARL W. ONTIIANK. According to a plan now on foot at the University of Wisconsin, the Senior class will take out a $60,000 state endowment insurance policy as a class memorial. Each graduate is to take out a policy for $100, mak ing payments of $8.00 a year for twenty years. Under this system all death benefits and the money from matured policies will form a loan fund to help university students in need of financial strength. MEN WILL HAVE THEIR GYM WORK ON TRACK IN FUTURE For the remainder of the college year, all classes in gymnastics at the Men’s Gymnasium will report on the track for out door work, except dur ing bad weather. Physical Instructor Edward Shockley has substituted the out-door exercises for the inside work, and the plan seems to find much favor among those taking “gym.” Lacrosse is being played on Kincaid field and Shockley states that as soon as the players become proficient enough, he will organize teams and have regular games. STUDENTS SHOULD WRITE UP ASSEMBLY FOR HOME PAPERS _ At assembly tomorrow morning, Professor Erie Allen, of the Journal-! ism Department, wilt propose a plan, whereby members of the Student Body will write up the lecture of Mr. Eugene Brookings on "Student Rela tionships,” to send in to their home papers for publication. “Under this plan,” said Professor Allen," the article will have an added touch of personal interest, and at the same time will help to acquaint the people of the state with our activities here,” GAMMA PHI BETA DONATES FUND FOR WOMEN’S BUILDING Following the gift of $100 by the Portland Alumnae Association as a nest egg fund toward the establish ment of a Women's Building at the University, last evening Gamma Phi Beta handed to President Campbell a check for $25.00, which is to be an annual endowment to this fund. As the amount grows, either Presi dent Campbell or Miss Guppy will have authority to handle this money. Announcements Y. M. C. A.—Gale Seaman, Student Secretary of the Northwest, talks at the Y.

Through a most regretable accident the names of the manager of the Wo men’s Emerald, and her assitants, were omitted from the Saturday pa per. Josephine Moorehead, the manager, and her assistants, Lucile Fenton and May Smith, deserve especial credit for the able manner in which they handled the business matters incident to pub lication . The amount of advertising this staff turned in was record-break ing, and without their efforts there would have been no paper. —Catharine Carson. Distinction Is Made.
