Shortly after the Easier vacation the Emerald will start a reporters’ contest, for which only those on the staff will be eligible to compete. The contest will continue over two weeks, and cash prizes will bo given for the men or women who aro eons'dered to be first and second best, ltanklng will be determined according to com position, amount of news covered, thoroughness with which it. is hand led, and neatness and general legi bility of copy. Original work, that is, digging out news items not assigned and promptness of turning in copy will bo looked on as especially mer itorious. The object of this contest is two fold. In the first place, the Emerald is desirous of finding out if there are any stories of campus affairs which are not belug unearthed and In the second place, to ascertain if a more accurate capacity for work cannot be obtained than has been In dicated by the ordinary assignment system. The college year Is getting well to ward the close and in u short time “v»ua vii v-nv; uumui’aH ami vllllU rial department will retire from fire, io be succeeded by those chosen us editor and manager in the coming fining elections.

I’ltKlWKATION I'OH COMMON WEALTH I'ommotiwealth confereut'es, since their inception, have b.-eu of consid erable beliefjt to University students! as well as to the people of the state for whom the Commonwealth Day program was originally Instituted, and for whom it has been main tained. That held last year was es peclally helpful and It is safe to predict that the exercises to be held during the present semester, on May 27, 28 and 28, will eclipse all previ ous meetings of this kind conducted by the University of Oregon. Students as well as members of the faculty are keenly interested in the discussions and questions which are brought out at the Commonwealth conferences, and last year a larger percentage than ever before of those attending the metings held on differ ent parts of the campus was made up of students. Class work is Important, but con centrated reports of experts who are listed for the conference are prob ably worth as much. The opportun ity is rare and it should be made possible for everyone to take advan tage of it. The excusing of students from the routine college work, as in past years, in order that the Com monwealth Day program may be taken advantage of, 1b highly advis able. A WORD OP WARNING. A party designed exclusively for the entertainment of the University women, namely the April Frolic, has been arranged to take place on the vening of Saturday, April 4. If the experience of past years is to be re eled upon, the co-eds will all have a ;ood time; but, unfortunately, an if fair of thiB kind, especially when urrounded by the secrecy which usually veils the April Frolic, always xcites a certain amount of curiosity mong those who are not Invited. Previous detailed knowledge of the entertainment to be provided is de nied to all but University women. Curiosity of this kind is unseemly when evidenced by University men, as representatives of the supposedly non-lnqulsitive sex, and, moreover, it should be remembered that in en deavoring to satisfy this desire for forbidden knowledge, the seekers af ter wisdom are treading on danger ous ground. For only women are wanted at the April Frolic, and to those who presume too far on the patience of the University women, grave punishment is meted out. ii is easy enougn to gain admit tance to the women’s party, but to the sorrow of some In the past it has been demonstrated that it is not so easy to escape detection. The trem ulous treble and number three of the Oregon co-ed are not easily simu lated by those of the opposite sex. Offenders are usually denounced, and the faculty will deal summarily with those who are proven guilty. Expulsion from college, or, at the very least, suspension, is the pun ishment which is the portion of the peeping Toms who would find what is not designed for them to find out. To intrude at the entertainment giv en on Saturday night, whether in disguise or no, is, incidentally, hard ly the part of gentlemen. Full accounts of that part of the program which the co-eds are will ing to make public will be published In the Emerald in the issue follow ing April 4. Until that time it would be courteous, as well as discreet, for Oregon men to busy themselves else where than at the April Frolic. WOULD MOTHER K. U. MEN Women’s Advisor Wonts to Adopt All Students.
