Alumni Settlor
President .John C. Veatch, ’0
Fenton Bldg., Portland.
Secrets ry-T asurer—
Earl Kii trick, '09, 1253 Ferry St
Eugene.
CHECKS ACCEPTED
Yes, of course. Only three thu
far, however.
That is to say, the recent effort o:
the Alumni Secretary to substitute ai
editorial call for dues for the annua
first call by circular letter, has no
netted heavy returns.
Within a few days, he hopes to ge
» out the annual notice. Meanwhile, th<
annual dollar is most acceptable—
whether it come by postal order, oi
check, draft, coin or portage stamps.
COME BACK
Junior Week-End once more, ani
doubtless many alumni will plan t<
spend one of the three gala days or
the campus.
Just which day it shall be will de
pend upon the preference and tastes
of the individual. The ardent base
ball fan will try to be in Eugene or
Thursday. Some will doubtless lool
forward to attending the Junior Prorr
on Saturday evening. The Prom is sc
largely in the interest of the greal
number of high school visitors, how
ever, that not many alumni will make
it their objective point.
Most of the returning graduates will
very likely make Friday the day or
which they enter into the celebration
On that day,, the work on the campus
and the big lunch at noon will bring
back old memories. In the aftemoor
the Washington-Oregon track meet
easily the biggest athletic event of
the season in Eugene, will give the
graduate a good chance to see at its
best the wonderful track teams which
this year represent the two state Uni
versities. In the evening of Friday,
the Senior play is to take place.
Albert R. Tiffany, Graduate Mana
ger, advises that alumni who wish to
attend the play, send in at once for
reservations of seats. There may be
no seats at all left by Friday. This
is the only matter, aside from being
sure of a place to stay, to which the
alumnus needs to give preliminary at
tention if he plans to spend the day
in Eugene.
PUBLICATION
What kind of publication do the
alumni want next year? Do they wish
to continue the alumni page in the
Emerald? Do they wish to inaugu
rate a special alumni publication? Dc
they wish to do without any publica
tion at all?
This is a big and ever recurring
question. It can never be settled sat
isfactorily if taken up for first dis
cussion each year at the time of the
,annual meeting. Realizing this, the
preliminary meeting of alumni Sat
urday night appointed a committee tc
consider this problem and make rec
ommendations at the annual meeting
The committee consists of Leon L
Ray, Allen H. Eaton and the Secre
tary.
If you are at all interested in whal
is to be done on this matter, please
send at least a post card containing
the expression of your opinion. Bet
ter still, send a letter, setting fort!
at some length your ideas on the sub
ject. of alumni publication. Only ii
this way can we be certain that the
views of a considerable number ol
alumni are given consideration in the
determination of the matter.
Last year, a questionaire sent ou
by President John C. Veatch brough
a large number of replies. By fa]
the greater number expressed them
selves as favorig an alumni publica
tion of some kind. Most of the re
plies stated that the writers were rea
dy to see the dues considerably ad
▼anced to make such a publicatioi
possible.
It did not seem feasible to make th
attempt last year and the matter wa
compromised by the use of one pag
par week in the Oregon Emerald an
no advance in dues.
Now the question is: Is this pla
satisfactory? Shall it be continued
Or, do you want a monthly or quarter
ly paper or magazine for the alumr
alone? Or, do you think it would b
better to have no publication what
ever?
If you have any decided feeling i
this matter, please let it be known t
some member of the committee.
