BUSINESS STAFF BUSINESS MANAGER.FLOYD C. WESTERFIELD Manager’s and Editor’s Phone—841. At Last—The Emerald Staff. AFTER TWO and a half months of try-out for positions on the Emerald, we are publishing the status and personnel of the staff. This year we have purposely delayed the selection on account of the extreme importance of appointing those choice spirits who have a combination of those talents best adapted to reportorial work. We have considered every candidate individually after in vestigating the evidence of meritorious work on his or her part for the past two and a half months. Our idea of a good reporter is one who combines in the best proportion those characteristics that make him especially adapted to handle and disseminate to a college clientele news items in their correct values. And conscien tiousness is one of the attributes of an Emerald reporter that is ab solutely essential. The work thus far this year has been considered as a kind of qualifying examination. The examination has been conducted along civil service lines and no partiality has been allowed to creep into the matter. The staff as it now stands is by no means final. The tryout continues to the end of the year. If we are painfully reminded that some reporter invested with a responsible position is “falling down on the job” we will try to find another. Several of the ap pointees are far from ideal, and we refer to the upper-staff as well as to the lower. They seem to suffer from a type of reno toxin, but we have overlooked the “sluffing,” thinking perhaps that the inventive to conscientious work would come by publishing the staff. Some few candidates are perhaps disappointed and to them we will leave the “tip” that their chance may come. The linotype man doesn’t mind resetting the staff once in a while, for he al ways has some criticism of the copy turned in, and it is often de lightful to him in his work to see some tardy, untidy copyist drop ped from the staff. The staff is always open to new candidates, and if, perchance, some person tires of his or her particular line of work, we are al ways ready to consider them for other positions. Last year the women of the University edited an excellent edition of the Emerald, and editorially urged that the women be given a chance on upper-staff work which heretofore has always been in the hands of men. We have a list of women whom we are going to try out on upper-class positions sometime in the future, and if they show merit, we will not hesitate to give them the of fices as long as the work merits it. We can hardly let this chance go by without patting the re porters on the back. As a rule the reportorial work, on which the publication of a paper primarily depends, has been above par, and we appreciate it. We are having a lot of fun out of the work and hope that everybody else is. It’s a great game. Lets all get into the fun, and pull together for a good Emerald. West Versus East. TOO OFTEN in the past, our eastern cousins have been wont to sing their own gridiron praises which sounded sweet in their own ears. The song too long has been somewhat Kiplingesque: “Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.” At last, however, west has met east, and the west has shown her mettle. To the Oregon Aggies belongs the credit of exploring a field of athletic conquest that long has been deemed invincible to the western pioneers. The west won out against the east. Tomorrow the east meets the west in the west—O. A. C. ver sus Syracuse—and the Aggies have a great opportunity to estab lish a new fact in the athletic world; to wit, that the west, if any thing, is better than the east. We sincerely hope that O. A. C. drags down the eastern col ors, which have for years been flaunted in the faces of the west in too condescending a manner. Too long has the east conducted it self as the teacher of the west. Now is the chance of the west to teach the east that the west knows how to play football. An Unheeded Oregon Victory. IN THE excitement of the moment following the victory of Oregon and amid the visions of Turkey, we forgot to mention a victory that is liable to be overlooked or forgotten. We refer par ticularly to the 5 to 0 victory of the women’s hockey team over the O. A, C. team. It was a great victory, and was won only after a great fight with the ‘dope’’ against the Oregon team, as usual. The team won by superior fight and strategy, and has added to the athletic laurels of the University. Oregon should boost—and boost hard—for her victorious women. And there may be a re turn game in Corvallis, in which case we would like to see a little Oregon spirit displayed. The team deserves that at least.
