As a matter of fact, the Student Body had no funds to finance the en terprise, and this year’s training trip would have died shortly before its hirth, like those which have been planned in past seasons, had not a number of the public-spirited and Or egon-spirited business men of Eugene come to the rescue. These men dug down into their pockets, and induced their neighbors to do likewise, until they had raised enough money to transport our athletes to Camp Nim rod and make it right with the land lord after they arrived there. Note that we said OUR athletes. It’s our team, and the only interest the men who financed the trip had in It ■Was that of any “good sport” in this city, or in this state, for that matter, who wants to see an Oregon team break Washington's string of victo ries. And it is agreed by football au thorities that a pre-season training trip, such as that taken by Bezdek’s squad this fall, will give any team a big impetus on its journey champion shipward. It is not alone the advan tage of the outing itself and of the early start in training which is ob talned. Getting1 the players together in such a camp has a psycholog ical effect. It is like bivoucking an army before a battle—there are no distractions, the players feel that the coaches mean business from the start, and an esprit de corps is developed. Oregon rooters expect that the bene fits of this year’s trip will be made manifest as the season progresses. For these reasons, the Emerald is glad to express the appreciation of the entire Student Body to the busi ness men of Eugene who so freely gave both their moral and financial support to this undertaking. We are certain that every Oregon student, who has not already learned of their kind ness will concur heartily in this ac knowledgment of our thanks. And, finally, we cannot refrain from pointing a moral to adorn this tale for thi‘ benefit of the students. The progressive citizens of Eugene made the training trip possible. They also make possible the Emerald, the Qro gana, and. to a degree, all our sports and activities. The next time you have occasion to spend money here, pat ronize the business man who is known as an Oregon supporter, who believes in the University and proves it in a concrete way by contributing to its enterprises, And tell him why you are doing it. A WORD TO THE WISE OR OTHERWISE In o.ur first issue of the present year we took occasion” to exhort the . Freshmerv, to engage in student activ ities. and incidentally we remarked that even if some first year man should partake of the forbidden fruit of the campus, even if he should sit upon the Senior bench or smoke along “Hello I.ane,” he might yet win for giveness for his sins -or words to that effect. What we meant is that these art1 not the big things; it is important for a Freshman to observe campus tradi tions, but it is infinitely more impor tant for him to do something for the University, otherwise than to grace it with his presence. Certainly we did not mean to en courage any Freshman to go and sin, but complaint has reached us that members of the incoming class have been caught red-handed in the very Sets we have warned them against. Either our counsel has been miscofi strued, oi- the erring ones have un wittingly made themselves liable to chastisment, or, mayhap, baptisement. In either case, ignorance of the law being no excuse, the offense is griev ous. * To be specific, studehts wearing the green livery have been seen comfort ing class is by far the largest in his erto sacred to the Seniors. Twice it has been reported that Freshmen, un der the cover of night, are breaking the unwritten law forbidding smoking on the campus. Furthermore, all the first-year men have not yet selected a becoming style of official millinery. Nor is this all. The present enter ing class is by far the largest in nis tory, yet one could never guess it to look over the bleachers on practice nights. The brass seal, and other campus memorials, are supposed to be kept Spick and span by the first-year meh, yet they all need the attention of a skillful masseur. In all seriousnes, we hope the Fresh lfien trill take warning from these comparatively trivial complaints. No class is bigger than the University— certainly not the Freshman class— and while hazing is no longer counte nanced (if you don’t believe it, read the faculty’s edict), still outraged pub lic sentiment moves in a mysterious way, and there never was a Freshman class which could defy organized so ciety without coming to grief. So far we have heard nothing but silence from the Sophomores but we doubt not that the Great Eye still sees, and that the Terror That Flies by Night is as puissant as ever. In spite of regulations, bans, and bull3, students generally find ways to deal out justice according to their ideas. We expect, and have a righ't to ex pect, greater things from the members of the class of 1918 than from any other class that ever entered the Uni versity. We have confidence that they will justify our expectation. They look good, and we believe they will make good. - -♦■<»..+■ ************ * * ♦ CAMPUS NOTES * * by * ♦ Beatrice Locke. * * * ! * * * ********* Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

At least so thinks William Hojt, manager of the Oregffrid. Not con tent with having Mr. Holt annoyed by all of the members of his staff as to what this and that is to cost, the Em peror of Germany has stepped in and now demands that he be heard. Publishers are dependent to a great extent upon Germany and her work men, and it is with anxiety that the staff of the Ore&ana awaits Manage! Holt’s inquiries into the matter of cuts and engravings for the Oregana. Germany, up to the present time, has long been the chief manufacturer in the chemicals and acids required in the making of engravings. With the development in recent years of the art of illustrating and decorating by iheans of ehgraving, Germany’s posi tion as a market for the supplies de manded therein has grown until now practically the whole engraving world is dependent upon her. Th Kaiser however, seems to have little regard for the feelings of Ore gana managers, for in his desire to create a sensation, he has left all Ger man industries to shift for themselves. This is the cause of Holt’s worry. In the manufacture of “cuts,” a copper plate (sometimes a zinc or steel one is used) is coated with a var nish of wax, gum-mastic and bitumen, and upon this the impression of the design or picture to be printed is drawn. The varnish is thus removed according to the strength of the lines of the print, and the whole is then immersed in a powerful acid bath, where the acid attacks the plate and “bites” a corresponding line according to those of the print. To bring out details this process has to be repeated, sometimes several times, each time a different set of lines being stopped out,” so that the strong acid may work on the others. In this way the many shades are formed and the engraving is ready for the printer. In going to war Germany has prac tically stopped the production of the chemicals needed in this most impor tant art, and while there is no great tie-up at present ,the indications are that there will have to be some substi tutions made in order to supply the demand. Along with this move will go the advance in prices of such ma terial.
