their names up to date, to the execu
tive committee signifying their candi
dacy for the position of yell leader

of the two applicants should be
carefully weighed, but at the same
time no delay should be made in the
selection. The time afforded for the
proper training of rooters to support
the team In the struggle for the con
ference pennant is all too short and
as much as possible of it should be
made available for the use of the yell

try out against each other, to show
their ability in controlling and in
spiring the masculine backers of the
team, it Is all-important that the
turnout of rooters during this com
petition should be as large as possi
ble, representing in its entirety the
material with which the successful
candidate will have to work, and
giving each man the cahnce to prove
to the executive committee and tiie
studnets at large that he is fully
competent to discharge the duties
which will rest upon him in the event
of his success.

urer, Edna Harvey; secretary, Char

ing out for tenn.s this fall, a maxi

EMEItAIJ) OH ORKdONlAN?

ceived from the Iowa scribe:

Editor, The Oregonian.
, University of Oregon,
Eugene, Ore.

- Interest here in the Oregonian, the

, slty. I wish to ask for the privi
ledge which we have had hitherto,
of exchange this year bet wee u the
Oregonian and the Delphic.
I shall be glad to send you the first
copies of this paper and to continue
if you desire to return the favor.
Thanking you for your response
to this matter in the interests of
- closer Intercollegiate relations.
Yours respectfully,
, H. A. BRUNER.
Editor Drake Daily Delphic.

WORK TO GET CREDIT
Changing from the ruling of last
year which allowed one credit in the
department of Journalism for any
student registered in the department,
doing work during the semester on
the Emerald or any other newspa

that from now on, any student wish
ing to receive this credit must be

of the semester.
These conferences, states a bulle
tin issued by the department, must
