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.

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.

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.
