OREGON EMERALD - VOL. XV. EUGENE, ORE., THURSDAY, APRIL.23, 1914. m No. LXX. REPORTERS TO HAVE CONTEST PRIZES FOR INDUSTRIOUS STAFF MEMBERS PROMISED CONDITIONS ARE OUTLINED Object Is to Show Reporters How Much News There Is on Campus and to Give Due Credit to Workers on Staff. The Emerald’s annual star report er contest starts with this issue of the paper and will continue for the next two weeks, at which time the re porter making the best showing of his ability to hunt out, cover and write up news, will be the recipient of the first prize offered. The reporter who is next best in the estimation of | the judges will receive the second prize. This contest was inaugurated last year for the first time and brought such good results both for the Em erald and the reporters that it has been decided by the editors of the paper to give another this year. The idea of such a contest, primar ily, is to give the members of the staff who care to enter such a con test an opportunity to show what -the yare capable of doing in gather ing news. A close record of the con testants will be kept and will be pub lished in the Emerald from time to time, in order that the reporters competing as well as any other mem ber of the student body who may happen to be interested may keep in formed as to the progress of the re porters. Rules of Contest. Credit will be given for every line that is handed in by the re porters in this contest. The judges will award the points that they believe are due on every story that is handed in. This makes it necessary that you should have your names on your stories without fail. Of course a No. 1 story, one which fills one of the four columns on the front page whi€h are re served for the big stories, will re ceive more points than a smaller story or one that is not of suffi cient interest to the students to Gccupy such a position. However, that kind of a story is not the most important by any means, from a newspaper standpoint. The points that will be allowed for these stories will not be so out of pro portion that a few of these will enable that reporter handing them in to gain too big a lead. There are constantly incidents and happenings occurring that never reach the ears or eyes of the editors on the Emerald and it is for this reason that the reporters have to be relied upon to observe these and write them up. Re member that every line that is handed in and which is considered news by the judges will receive credit. The points about the stories which will be considered will be accuracy as to facts, time turned in and value as news. Allowance will be made as to Time of break ing of story so that if it did not break until late that will not count against the story. The neatness of copy and manner in w hich story is written will also be considered. A list will be posted on the bul letin board in the Journalism de partment where the members of • the staff caring to enter the con test may sign their names. It will be necessary for all those caring to enter to sign their names so that the judges will not be com pelled to keep the records of re porters not in the contest. The publicity which will be re Y. M. GETS ONE MORE MAN FOR BEACH CONFERENCE Six Already Secured. Koyl Would Outshine Other Col lege Delegations It Can And Must Be Done! What? So reads the poster heading that the Y. M. C. A. is Issuing this week j in regard to the Columbia Beach Conference. Further perusal elicits the information that what must and can be done is to have twenty-one delegates to represent Oregon at this conference. This number is wanted to outnumber the representations of Washington and O. A. C. The campus and city is to be liter ally plastered with the posters ad vertising the matter. “There are six men already lined up,” said Charles Koyl this morning, “and there is no reason why we can’t have twenty one. One never regrets going and the benefits to be derived are so many as to warrant time taken from summer work and the borrowing of money to pay expenses if necessary.” OREGON TO ENTER TEAM IN COAST TRACK MEET Cook, Heidenreich, Loucks, Payne, Stuller and Telford Are Entered Oregon will be represented in the Pacific Coast Championship meet to be held on the California track May 2nd by a six-man team. The men who will make the trip are Sam Cook, “Heinie” Heidenreich, Elton Loucks, Floyd Payne, Everett Stul ler and Johnny Telford. The All-Coast meet includes teams from California, Stanford, University of Southern California, Nevada, Ore gon, Washington, O. A. C,, Pomona and others. With a record of 9:50 behind him, Payne should run well against such men as Wood, Swain and Crabbe of California in the two mile. 9:60 and 1-5 took first place in the dual meet between Stanford and California last Saturday. Stuller should place in the high jump as 6 feet 1 inch took first place in the same meet. The discus is a new event in Southern meets this year and Heidenreich will no doubt prove an able contender in this event. Just what Loucks can do in the quarter is yet a mystery but he will have to run it around 50 flat to place. If comparative time can be relied on at all Oregon’s athletes are ex pected to make a creditable showing. Telford can hurl the javelin around 160 feet now, and with a few weeks more training should be able to place in that event in the Southern meet. The Daily Illini has come out strong in favor of the prohibition. ceived by the student winning this contest would repay him for his efforts but as a further enduce ment two cash prizes have been offered to the two standing high est at the end of the time allotted. In gathering news the reporters may get their stories from any de partment or source of news in the campus that they may desire. They may encroach upon the beat of another reporter if they may care to do so. The only restric tion iq, that assigned “stories are to be covered by the reporters to whom they are assigned. These will be watched more closely as to style and form to equalize the number of points that would be given for discovering the story. Failure to cover an assignment will take off points from that re porter’s standing. The idea is to turn in as much news as possible and written up as well as possible. It is up to the reporters to show what they can do. The contest last year was won by a junior now in college. CITY EDITOR.

HOWE SPEARS ON TOLSTOY ASSEMBLY AUDIENCE HEARS EXPOSITION OF RUS SIAN’S DIEAS MUSIC PRECEDES ADDRESS University Orchestra Renders Three Numbers From Works of Famous Composers, as Their Share of Program. A large number of students turn ed out Wednesday morning at the regular assembly hour and were treated to an interesting talk on Tol stoy by. Professor H. C. Howe, head of the department of Modern Eng lish Literature, and to a 30-minute concert by the University orchestra under the direction of Miss Winifred Forbes. The orchestra gave three selections from three prominent composers of Russia, tlaly and America, respect ively, which were of a very difficult nature for such an organization to render, but which were given in an admirable style and with much credit to both Miss Forbes and the mem bers of the orchestra. The Univer sity orchestra has shown in its re cent appearances a finish of toucn that would do credit to a much larg er and prominent orchestra than the University’s. Fitzhenery Speaks. At the conclusion of the program N. L. Fitzhenery of Eugene, spoke to the students a few minutes solic iting their aid1 in the coming good roads day which occurs on next Sat urday. “Tolstoy, the carnate spirit of so cial righteousness” was the charac terization of the noted Russian nov elist, given yesterday by Prof. Howe, In his address to the assembly. Prof. Howe said in part: Though he owned large estates and was never in need of money, the great Russian, prophet of the people, remained to his death, a peasant. He believed in a proper distribution of the wealth of the world, that it might be shared equally by all. Too much to one class to the total privation of another, was to him, distasteful, a doctrine too aristocratic to bear. Preached Anarchy. He preached an anarchy, the an archy of Christ, which, he believed, would wipe out all violence, all arm ies and navies, and government would then come through “brotherly love.” Living in Russia and surrounded on all sides by miserable government oppression, with the law a mocking travesty, Tolstoy became so bitter that he devoted his whole time and energies toward securing fairness for the down-trodden. “When I saw men and women being led from the court rooms and condemned to spend their Tives in Siberia, I wondered often If the judges were ntot worse than the prisoners they sentenced,” said the novelist. Speaking for the good roads day, Mr. Fitzhenery briefly told what has been planned, how citizens all over the state expect to work with picks and shovels on that day, and he ask ed that the University students come out and lend a hand, eithgr on the £ounty0 roads or in°thq Improvement of he streets in front of their houses. Washington Daily—The university tennis season will open next week with the start of the class tourna ments. Entries will close Monday afternoon and drawings will be made at once. There will be no doubles, the interclass doubles teams being chosen from the singles men. Immediately following the class tournaments will come the interclass and varsity matches and then the trip to Eugene. Interclass teams will play three singles and one doubles match. According to the hope, the sophomores look good for the school championship.
