Tuesday, May 13, 1913.
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

Manager’s Name Omitted.
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.
