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
