NINE DOLLARS RICHER
The Aumni Association is nine dol
lars richer than it was before the first
editotrial call for dues was published
in this column.
Customary annual bills, payable in
June out of the dues for 1915-16 will
^ total between $325 and $350.
The Secretary has decided to sup
plement the editorial notice with the
customary letter. This letter will gc
out this week if possible. Meanwhile,
the receipt book is never closed.
In sending in dues, please do not
fail to indicate your view concerning
the attitude which the alumni should
take toward the publication matter.
Should this page be continued ? Should
an alumni publication be substituted
therefor? If so, how should it be
financed? Should the alumni have no
official organ whatever ?
SENIOR GIRLS WELCOMED
BY LOCAL ALUMNAE ASSN.
On Saturday last, the Senior wo
men of the University of Oregon were
^ welcomed into prospective fellowship
with the alumnae of the University
at a reception held at the home of
Mrs. Frank Chambers.
After formal welcome and a hearty
response on behalf of the Seniors,
and a musical program, several seri
ous talks as to the purpose of the
alumnae were given.
Mrs. Mary Straub Stafford told of
the objects for which the local alum
nae are working, especiaT/y of their
hope that they may be recognized
by the A. C. A. She outlined also
the requirements imposed by the A. C.
A.
Miss Ruth Guppy continued the dis
cussion in the same vein, paying es
pecial attention to the feature of the
women’s building. A building, such
as demanded by the A. C. A., would
probably cost about $50,000. A small
fund is already started and hopes are
> entertained that the building may be
come a reality in the near future.
Such a building must contain a gym
nasium and other features for the ex
clusive use of the women of the Uni
versity.
Refreshments were served and a
social time enjoyed.

CASTEEL EXPRESSES IDEAS
CONCERNING PUBLICATION
United States Reclamation Service,
Okanogan, Washington.
To the Editor:—I am in favor of
having an alumni publication, but
should a plan for putting out this pub
lication at least quarterly be not
worked out, let us continue the alum
ni page in the Emerald. I have fol
lowed this alumni page very closely
and believe that others do the same.
It means much to those who seldom
see another alumnus.

LEGGETT FAVORS SOME WAY
TO KEE PINFORMED
To the Editor:—In regard to hav
ing a publication, I would say that
we should by all means have some
means with keeping up with what our
fellow alumni are doing. 1 don’t know
which would be better, a publication
of our own or the section in the Em
erald, but by all means let us have
some means of communication.
I am preaching for the Christian
church at Coquille and Bridge, in Coos
County.
