THE HIGHER ENGLISH. In this Issue of tne Emerald its printed a letter from Mr. W. L. Whit tlesey ,a graduate of the University of Oregon In 1901, who names him self as the author of an editorial ap pearing In Collier's Weekly, which under the caption, “The Higher Eng lish, ” advised that the Emerald be taken In hand by the journalistic members of the faculty and "polish ed.” The followng extract is taken from Mr. Whlttlessey's letter: “Dur ing my four college years, 1 worked on the Oregon Monthly (now extinct) and alBO wrote for the Oregon Week ly (later branded 'Emerald'). We ran our own papers, BUT we read proof and supervised the copy and •did the work.” Waiving the fact that Mr. Whittle sey so forgot his loyalty to his Alma Mater as deliberately to knock her In a publication having a nation wide circulation let us see if the Oregon j Weekly of former times, with which Mr. Whittlesey was connected, L really as far ahead of the Emerald of the present date, as might be In ferred from his communication. In the first place, Mr. Whittlesey was graduated from the University (did not ‘graduate,’ as appears in his letter) in 1901, tho year in which the Weekly made its initial appear ance. Hence It is to be gathered that Mr. Whittlesey wrote for this Weekly either as an alumnus or as a senior In the University. In No. Ill, Vol. I, of the Weekly, Is found the following on indoor baseball: "There is yet another rea son for its popularity among college men and thnt la its fitting In so nice ly between football and track ath letics, thus affording an excellent and Interesting exercise for athletes dur Ing the winter months and puts them ou the truck In the spring with mus cle* In a working condition." Note the construction. In the next issue Joaquin Miller is mentioned as follows: “He is straight and so proportioned as to give the Impression of being tall." Later on in the same story, the poet of the Sierras is spok m of as mani festing certain "exeentrldties." On the same page, the name Stanton is listed also as Stauton in one story, while on the editorial page, careless reading is spoken of as "a blithiug curse to the mind." Possibly "blight ing” was intended, as a perusal of the pages of Webster gives no hint as to the meaning of "blithlng.'’ On another page of this same Is sue, Kipling's poem "Fuzzy Wuzzy" la designated as "Tuzzy Wrlzzy," and - 11 .n another portion of the same idiue, >vhich Is, by the way, something like naif the size of the present Emerald, it is stated that “a definite agree* ment will probablyobe made with U. of W., whereby the U. of O. men will contest with them each»year In either Seattle, Eugene or Portland.’’ olt is evident from this array, that ..he Weekly of Mr. Whittlesey’s day, is at least not an ideal of the “high er English,’’ toward which the Em erald should aim. The college Jour nalists of that time apparently en countered much the same difficul ties and had the same human defects, if which the results may be noted .rom time to time in the present gen eration. The Emerald Is strictly a college publication, run by amateurs in the newspaper game, and not by mem lers of the faculty, as Mr. Whittle sey seems to believe. There is much hat the Emerald staff does not enow in the journalistic line, and lelpful suggestions are always grate ully received. But there is one thing o which it is not necessary to call he attention of the staff members, nd that is that errors in proof oc casionally slip past, and are not an >rnament to the paper. Typographical errors, or mistakes .vhieh elude the men at the copy lesk are common on every newspa >er. The Emerald has its share, but believes that it will at least compare favorably with the Weekly of thir teen years ago. THIS MEANS YOU. How many of you ever stopped to think how much It costs to put out the Emerald? Do you think that lmt little dollar pays the entire cost of publication? Well, you have an other guess coining. The advertis ing pays for the paper, and the Eu gene merchants (a few of them) pay for the advertising. Hence, the merchants pay for your paper. You say, of course, that they make money by it, because they get a great deal of business from the students. All well and good, but do you think that ho merchants that advertise are the only ones that do get the business? A little Investigation will show that many students patronize not only our advertisers, but all alike. Is this lust to the man who pays out from two to twenty-five or thirty dollars per month for advertising? Why not patronize those who help us? It will cost you no more, and will help stu dent, activities In many ways. This is one way in which all of the stu dents can show the much-vaunted "Oregon Spirit.’’ Let’s see more of it. Soon we will publish a list of our advertisers, and we trust that they hall receive the proper support. 0 00000000000000000 0 O > COMMUNICATIONS o o o >00000000000000000 CO-ED PROTESTS. To the Editor:—Since the Univer il.v girls can use the swimming tank but once a week, is there any good reason why they should not get full time on that one precious day? It is undeniably dangerous for girls, most of them unable to swim well enough to be alone in the tank and M't Monday after Monday the direc tor appears about an hour late or leaves early making it necessary for tirls with afternoon classes to sacri fice lie swim or risk it without a anil to watch them. The old adage about the stitch in ime might well be applied and a Ut ile precaution taken before It Is too ate. Often there are 20 to 30 girls in at once with but one director in tie room and she is in citizens' clothes and busily engaged giving a . son. Now maybe she could suc > ■ nil.' rescue a drowning girl at :lie other end (provided she noticed n r sink l and maybe not but why rakc any unnecessary chances? Cnee a week is scant opportunity to really learn much about this art s“ desirable for life, health and hap piness on or about the mill race. It s impossible to keep girls off the nice who can't swim but since we now have a tank there should he few er girls who can't swim making the e\. use that they can't get enough In .ruction to do them any good. In ease l have wondered rouud and missed the point, let me repeat. l et the swimming tank be open Mondays from t> sharp till 12. from 130 sharp till 5:30 with au ln structor on hand, two of them during the rush hours.
