TO THE EMERALD STAFF
Now that the organization haa
worked into some semblance of form
and the work la getting well started
it may be well to offer a few words
of explanation as to the system of
rewards.
In the first place work and ability
are the criterions upon which all re
wards will be based. And unless these
two demands are complied with no
worker on the Emerald—high or low
—will be sure of his place.
In the second place the system of
choice will be just. It makes no dif
ference yho you are, you have just as
good chance as any other. An ac
curate account is now being kept of
all work done and there will be no
guess work when the final staff is
chosen and announced.
You wonder at times just what you
are accomplishing and just what good
you are getting out of all the work.
And when you are under stress yoft
may say “What’s the use.” But it all
depends upon yourself just what you
accomplish. If you are in the game
for ambitious purposes both while in
and out of college you are surely on
the right track by making your ser
vices worth while on the Emerald. It
is a mistake to think you can wait
until you are a junior or senior be
fore you try. Then it will be too late
and you will not have had the prep
aration necessary to hold the position
you may want.
There is some freshman, some
sophomore and some junior working
on the Emerald now who is going to
persistently keep at the game until by
the time he or she is a senior that
person will be editor of the Emernld.
Is that person you?
PROBATION FOR THE FRESHMEN
Peremptory retribution should come to
those freshmen who violated the sacred
traditions of the campus by painting
their class numerals last night on tho
•un dial, the senior bench, and the Ore
gon seal by Villard. It is well they
showed some alacrity in washing these
numerals off early this morning. But
they have not yet paid the penalty their
deed deserves. Hating is not to be recom
mended—but there Is punishment that
may be Just as severe.
Borne leniency may bo exercised in the
voluntary willingness nnd rendiness of
the freshmen in undoing what was done
in the wee sm«' hours of the morning.
They had barely gone to bed before they
were summoned to undo their work. But
let them understand that from now on
they are on probation nnd let them pon
der well on that word “probation."

REGISTRATION SIGNIFICANCE
There ia u good deni of significance In
the regietration mark reached by the
Unlverelty to date. With the cloatng of
the books Friday night the total enrolled
In the college of Liberal Arts was 871
or lacking seven of being the total en
rolled for the two eemeatera of Inst
year. Should the enrollment go the sec
ond semester of this year ns it did the
second semester of last year the en
rollment of the University for the year
In the College of liberal Arte will ex
ceed 1,000. This la In excess of the most
sanguine expectations.
On the other hand press reports from
Oregon Agricultural College show that
there on the second day of registration
T30 hnd registered. This number Is below
that reached on the registration books
here on the second day, and la 140 below
the I’nlveislty mark to date,
These comparative figures are not
printed a* a matter of gloating pride but
for the significance they beer in the pop

creating. That honorable fight the Uni
versity go recently made for its very

, RALLY NIXT WEDNESDAY
' As far as tha freshmen ars concerned
the Oregon Spirit la a myth, Aa yet
there haa not been a gathering of the
rooterai no naaa feata nor a raily where
they has* hnd a chance to coma Into
contact with t|iat “something” that
makes Oregon famous.
We may dissertate for hours upon the
achievements ofi the Spirit. We may con
vince by this, dissertation the hearers
who are taken for granted as freshmen
that such a Spirit should be theirs but
it will take a little seance to make theip
actually know tbnt there is a Spirit and
that for Oregon to maintain its past
record they must absorb a part of it.
A little seance is due next Wednesday
morning at ten o’clock. The place is in
Villard Hall all the regular assembly
hour. This is the first student rally of
the year and EVERYONE should be
out. The first game is coming the 7th
of October and jthis rally will be just a
week before the1 game. The team will be
there and “Bez’* with his “great state."
There will be yelling, singing and band
music.
And when thi^t rally is over next
Wednesday morning if every freshman
in this University does not know what
the great Oregon Spirit is he should seek
solace in Doc Yak’s car with the rest
of the bats anti owls.

“A hunch for an editorial’ we Tead on
a note dropped in our pocket. The hunch
is to save the pennies in order to go to
the Washington State game with the
Varsity in Portland next month. Wise
idea that but who will contribute the
first penny? |
The freshman is nobody’s fool. But
then it is well he thinks so for it is a
compliment to the upper classmen.
WOMEN PAy OWN EXPENSES
Nineteen University Women Entirely
Self-Supporting; Five Freshmen.
Approximately one-fourth of the 355
women students now registered in the of
fice of the dean of women are cither
wholly or partially independent. Of the
10 who are entirely self-supporing, five
are freshmen. Seventy enrn part of
their expenses.
Places of employment have been found
for all with no difficulty. Eugene homes
offer general housework, and fraternity
houses need girls to wash dishes, serve
table and care for linen. Stenography
and bookkeeping in the University of
fices, and the caring for faculty child
ren also offer a generous supply of
work.
Some of the women, however, are put
ting themselves through by additional
work done previous to coming to the
University.
RALLY WILL BE HELD.
A student body rally will be held next
Wednesday during the assembly hour and
the following week the hour will be de
voted to class meetings.
