TALK IT OVKIL In speaking of the Strength nml weaknesses of the University during the past year, It has often been point ed out that one of the chief faults la that the students, among themselves, and that the members of the faculty, in connection with the students, have never had sufficient opportunity to get together and thrash out questions on which there may he a serious dif ference of opinion. The charge is true, and Is becoming all the more true as the University continues to grow. It Is difficult for all the students, or for all the faculty, who really have some constructive plan In regard to student affairs, faculty supervision of the students, and of the thousand and one phases of college life which nro constantly recurring, to find a proper place ia which to make known their opinions, and better still to make t hem effect Ive. Because of this, the Kmerald will offer from now on, a column In each Issue, for discussions or communica tions pertinent to the University. This offer Is not made with the idea of extending a special privilege. It Is a right which has always existed, hut of which the members of the fac ulty in particular have never availed themselves. The opportunity of faculty and stu dent contact thus offered, and which, by the way. Is heartily ap proved of bv President Campbell, should be taken advantage of. not; i Minis ami mi: alumni. la a communication contained in this Issue, the request Is made that I he Kmerald print news of a kind more calculated to Interest tin* ma jority of the students at the Univer sity, Such a letter is encouraging evoy if its general tone is adversely, critical,® as it shows that some of the students are at least taking enough interest itio the Kmerald to peruse a part of0the tier's ^printed. The request is made ter more in formation concerniug8dress sulY-Vou Q ^ O troversies and also in regard to com hats sta ted between the eanine mem bers of tlu' Oregon fraternities, but the college student see ins insepara bly wol to his tor to his roommate's) evening attire, while tin- fraternities have for the most pari neglected woe fully the prnetiee. prevalent in for mer years, or keeping bulldogs for the detection of the bloodthirsty. it is the old. old storj of the on deavur of a college publication to ea ter to two. or perhaps to three differ ent classes of readers having differ ent tastes and different Ideas of news value. The alumnus or alumna asks fur that which will show the solid useful things which the I’nlversity is accomplishing, while the undergradu ate constantly demands news of the things which pertain most intimately to the narrow circle of college hap penings. Then again, the Emerald is supposed to convey to the average citizen into whose hands it may chance to fall, a true, accurate pic ture of what the University, and what the students of the University are are doing, in a word what progress is being made to justify the support and continued existence of the University of Oregon as a state institution. As New Year's resolutions, there fore, the Emerald must improve upon the hint offered, and resolve to print the three classes of news mentioned O Q in as fair and proportionate division as shall be found possible. ° CO-EDS WANT EMERALD TO PRINT MORE NEWS Letter Gives Omitted Items Which Include Dog Fights A New Year has arrived and is It too much for us to ask that our col lege paper and spokesman resolve to print more college news? Practically half the term is over so surely the number of advertisements printed here-to-fore will suffice to tide the Emerald over the slack per iod which you forecasted early in the year. From several rumors we have heard we feel justified in saying that our alumna tire also asking this Question, “Why not more college news?” This is the best year that Ore gon has ever known and conditions present an excellent opportunity for the best (taper over issued. Must wo continue to have two thirds ad vertising arid one third news and two thirds of the news devoted to “the large and enthusiastic audience attemlin Prof. Reddie’s Heading” or Ur. Hodge's lecture four days after delivered. Fraternity dog fights and dress suit controversies may appear trivial to the state at large, but the Emerald readers are in the main college stud ents or graduates and it is their own life as portrayed by your paper which Interests them. A lively difference of opinion among students well writ ten up will always furnish good read ing. Wo don't wish to knock and only a .sincere desire for a frank under standing prompts this letter. Perhaps if more of the reporters on your staff personally attended the event they were reporting it would contain more of interest than can ho obtained second hand. There are over ten organizations for girls In tills University and not one which has not found it difficult at some time to get the story of proceedings, no tices etc., into print. As a consid erable part of tlie student body we think it only just that more space he given to our activities. Most of them require a large membership to lie ef fective and publicity helps greatly to secure this. Are our "literariiy inclined'’ de creasing in number or is the right Incentive lacking? The Oregon Monthly is defunct so without a rival to deplete its columns we believe the Emerald ought to give us a bet ter knowledge of what the rest of us are doing.
