SIGMA DELTA CHI, to which organization this issue of the Emerald is dedicated and into which six embryonic journalists are be ing initiated, occupies a unique position in the profession which call ed it into being. Based on the broad principle of fraternalism, as distinguished from the narrower fraternityism, Sigma Delta Chi has furnished an ideal for college men to work toward. The existence of the fraternity is based on tlie generally recognized fact that the news paper has an ideal to live up to that is broader than the ideal of any other profession. The modern newspaper furnishes busy humanity with its mental food each day. The ideal of journalism is to make that food pure and wholesome. Locally considered, Sigma Delta Chi has performed a great work. Called into being subsequent to the establishment of the school of journalism, the fraternity has helped that department to achieve the success that it has made in the three years of its existence. The fraternity has also been the means of creating a fraternal link between the men who are in the newspaper work today and those who will be in the actual work tomorrow. Such organizations as Sigma Delta Chi more than justify their existence on the campus. rA FEW days ago tlier A Good Suggestion and “honor societies ship and choose their mem Emerald—that they carry possible—that the bonds of members devote themselves ization. l If this were done for a e appeared on this page a communication dealing with the problem oJt over-organization. It was written by a junior in the University and suggested that the various organizations on t ic campus wear no insignia of member >ers without publishing the names in the on their work as unostentatiously as jewelry and publicity be removed and the to the work and purpose of their organ year, the writer asks, would it not result in a decimating of the ranks of useless organizations and pseudo honor societies? e believe that many groups exist only that (We think it would their members rnay say W sag their vests with the wei I'm a ‘Bones and Blood’ ” and that they may >ht of many trinkets. It is something worth the consideration of the committee. Even to ask the willingness of tin be a rare test. Why not try it rA FACULTY committee has considered the plan of so arrang ing the calendar of the l ni about August 25, and end ; ing that an early opportunit work for the summer. The plan seems ill-adv meets with complete success agreeable than August anc versity year that work would commence bout May 15. The idea in the plan be y would be given the students to secure wants to start schooljn the time of flies and forest fires? The students attending Oregon in the summer depl dismissal. They generally meat sooner than do the O or ganizations to take up the plan would And a Bad. sed and impracticable. In California it There May and June are more dis September. It is not so here. Who Stanford and California who return to ire the system of early registration and ind themselves unable to secure employ regon students. They must leave then work a month earlier. The kind of work open to the average college man does not commence until June, at any rate, and usually continues past September 1. If change must be made, let it be in making com mencement earlier at the expense of spring vacation rather than in altering the time of college opening.

FORESTRY MAN TO i ADDRESS A CLASS Sta*e^ Administration Students Will Head Forestry Department Here. “You lose if Oregon forests burn.” State forester, F. A. Elliott, the man whose name appears at the bottom of noticds of this kind which you have prob ably seen tacked to a tree far out in the timber, will talk to the class in Econom ics of state administration on the work and policies of the State Board of For estry.' Oregon’s forests are one of her great est resources and the work of protection from fire in the dry season and conserva tion will be explained by Mr. Elliott, Monday morning. The state forester, with the state board of forestry executors all matters pertain ing toi forestry within the state and ap points and directs the improvement and protection of the state forest lands, col lects data relative to forest conditions and takes such action as is authorized by law to, extinguish forest, grass and brush fires. | The state and federal government also co-operate in the protection and conservation of the forests. F. G. Young, professor of economics and sociology, says that Oregon has one fifth of the standing timber of the Unit ed States and that the reason that good times are slow in coming in the north west is the depression of the lumber in dustry.' The lumbering industry is im portant and Prof. Young thinks the class in economics of state administration should know something about its pro tection1.

McMilliu and Howard Bowles were dinner guests of the | Sigma Chi freshmen Thursday evening. The nimbly lotterwolauce in the gymna sium Friday afternoon was a very en joyable co-ed dance. “Men” and “girls” entered 'into the spirit of the affair with enthusiasm, and the woman's building was helped by many ten-centses. Hamms Phi Bern, at the national con vention at Asilomar last summer, decid ed to raise 8500 to be presented to the association of collegiate alumnae for the purpose of assisting some young woman in her training for social service.

OUT FROM UNDER By Diogenes Tubb Bring out the needle, roll the pill. . We’re crazy as the whipperwill Snuff the cocaine,! smoke the hop My head spins round just like a top. I feel a spasm coining, Oh, can’t you picture me, Near the penitentiary, In the old asy-alunn, I’m sure a nutty one Can’t you hear the nuts a crackin’ While the bright 1 moon beams are beaming < I’m glad I got here, I love to be here, Hope they never suet me free. -] Did you hear this t,oo, Two voices in the Idark Dean Straub: “Got a ‘Camel?’” Prexy Campbell: Toothing but ‘Tigers.” Dean: Curses on the vile luck.

Five reels isn’t a scene too long for Baby Osburne, who, thank heaven, doesn’t realize the charm of her fat little self and never overdoes the “saccharine stuf^.” The play starts in, a cheerless, hope forsaken room in a tenement in the slums. Little Mary peems to have been neglected when the j,oy of life was dis tributed, for her mother has sorrow and a weak heart and belt father a taste for drink and a strong temper. Some neigh bor tells Mary that , “Mother’s gone to heaven” and Mary who was fond of mother, starts out to ,Junt for her. Mary is found by Bol Daley who takes her home to his parents. ’Lrfcey rechristen her “little Mary Sunshim,'.” “THE BEST AMERICAN MAKE” an. ‘Dot'icctster Arrow COLLAR 2 for 25c Clnett, Peabody & Co., Inc., Makers TRUNK AT $28.00 This genuine Hartman Wardrobe trunk contains these exclusive features heretofore found only in a Hartmann’s trunks at con siderably higher prices.
