The Emerald has five points to make
to its readers before they decide whether
or not the Emerald shall be included with
in the prerogative granted by payment of
student body tax. They are:
1. Good business sense dictates a
negative vote on the amendment.
Substantially, the proposed alteration
in the by-laws is the declaration of a divi
dend of one dollar to each student yearly
for all time to come. Such a thing could
not be done at the present time because
the treasury is not in any condition for
It—and this, at the end of a most pros
perous year. Noxtj year and the. years
to come are too uncertain to warrant such
a move.
Wait until it !r known how well the
new athletic field will pay and until at
least a pnrt of the $10,000 debt is liquidat
ed before an added burden is assumed.
2. Patriotism to the student body de
mands the dofoat of the measure.
In this time of crisis in national af
fairs, the thinking men of the country,
the conservative, careful, rational minds
ere counselling a deliberate, sure-footed,
sober policy, making certain of each step
before it is made, keeping a I'lenr eye on
the future. This year the student body
Is in something of the same position. In
this year new debts have been assumed
and steps have been taken which are pro
gressive but which may over-tax the
student body’s strength.
The free Emerald is bound to. come—
some, day—but the time is not now ripe.
Wait ! the future will tell better where
we stand and will testify to the ability

or inability to assume such an obligation.
3 The law of reaction says: “Be
ware.”
Newton showed that to every action
there was an equal and opposite reaction.
This applies to business and psychology
ns well as to physics. AVe are at pres
ent on the top of two wnves, one of
prosperity, one of enthusiasm for a
measure we. do not need. The reaction
will come. The pendulum will swing.
We will slide into the trough between the
waves.
4. Only false economy prompts an
affirmative vote on the bill.
We will each receive one. dollar more
of value received if we pass the bill, but
the graduate manager of the student body
predicts that, if this is done, an equal
amount will have to be raised out of the
students by additional tax. This is not
only false economy but a short-sighted
policy in view of the load it will throw
on future students.
5. The time is not yet ripe. Wait.

To the Editor:
The payment of all student subscrip
tions to the Emerald from the Student
Body Treasury would doubtless pro
duce many good results. The advocates
of a free Emerald have given us many
arguments in its favor, and we have no
reason to believe that many of these ar
guments are not sound.
The question, however, for us to de
cide is not whether this expenditure
would bring good results but rather: Is
this money spent better in this manner
than in any other? At the present time
the Student body is running along at
rock bottom. Our revenues practically
equal our expenditures.
V\ ith such a financial condition the
giving of tree Emerald cbuld have but
one result. It would mean that many
activities that we arc now trying to
foster will be greatly crippled—possibly
killed—on account of a lack of funds.
It will mean that ou hopes for extend
ed activity, and in some instances even
the continuance of present activity along
such lines as wrestling, soccer, tennis,
hockey, etc. will vanish into thin air.
It means this,—and more. It means
that the day will be postponed when we
can realize our long cherished hopes for
tlie support of other activities which in
all justice should have been supported
long ago. A free E ierald may come in
time—but why at this time Why crip
ple the student body treasury at a time
when we have on our campus a just de
mand for increased support and recog
nition of—for instance—the activities
of the Women’s League?
The man or woman who casts a vote
in favor of a free Emerald easts a vote
in favor of robbing these struggling and
shamefully neglected lines of endeavor
in order to pension a strong and healthy
and firmly established activity.

Yearling Nine Now Playing

Four Games With 0. A. C.
Rooks on Schedule; May
Meet High Schools.
(By William Hoscltine)
Although tin1 freshmen baseball candi
dates were asked to report when the
varsity turned out some two weeks ago.
but a scant dozen of the yearlings have
answered the call. Coach Bill Tuerek
wants every fresh who has ever thrown
a ball to come out for the team. “I need
men for every position,” said Hill. "So
tar practically every man who is out is
playing.”
The frosli played the varsity a practice
game Saturday, but what the score was
nobody remembers. Carl Knudsen, pitch
ing for the freshmen, lobbed them over
and the first team sluggers more than
met the ball half way. Hits and errors in
about an equal proportion accounted for
tin runs.
Knudsen and Jacobson are the only
two men on the squad who have had any
experience in the pitching line. Knudsen
twirled fur Lincoln li+gh school of Cort
land last year’ and Jacobson occupied
the mound for l'ugene high. Iloth boys
appear to have the stuff but are just
putting them straight over at present,
for until warm weather curves are taboo.
Tuerek is shifting his players every
night to g't a good infield combination.
Stahm, Simola, Smith, lteinhart and
lloldredge have been the most consistent
performers.
Kvidetitly football isn't the only sport
that Hill Steers knows, judging from the
way he is showing lip in center field.

University Orchestra An All-Student
Organization for First Time in History
(By Gladys Wilkins)
The University orchestra, for the iirst i
time in its history an all student organ- j
ization, will appear in concert in Villard
hall on the evening of Thursday, March
22..
Composed this year of eighteen mem- '
hers, the orchestra is thought to be '
better balanced than in former years.
“We’re not an organization of stars,” j
said Miss Winnifred Forbes, director.
“There are no doubt many of the mem
bers who would not play particularly
well alone. But it is the ensemble that
counts—whether or not you start to
gether, stop together, and hit the same
notes together. And our ensemble is
good. The first v; din selection is es
[vcially strong, and three of the four
players are music majors—Alice Van
der Sluis, Genevieve Rawley, and Viola ,
Crawford.”
Part of the students who are doing i
orchestra work began their musical ca- S
reers at the age of ten or twelve, part
of them waited until two or three J ears
ago to begin. It is evident that they j
are not a professional crew. But any
one who attended Mask and Buskin's
installation vaudeville will admit that
they play the most delightful music,
full of melody both popular, semi-popu
lar and classical music, and music lovers
will have an opportunity to hear the
orchestra at its best in both kinds, since
they are holding numerous extra rehear
sals.
Miss Forbes and Robert Scearce will
repeat the “Serenade” which was re
ceived so enthusiastically when they
played it during a recent reception given
in honor of the Daughters of American
Revolution. Mr. Scearce is considered
one of the best violinists in the orches
tra.
The personnel includes:
First violins: Alice Van der Sluis,
Genevieve Rawley, Robert Scearce, Vi
ola Crawford; second violin: Adah Mc
Murphy, Franklin Folts, Bryon Gar
rett, Lucy Powers, Lillian Boylen; cel
lo: Glen Macey; piano: Marth'a Tinker;
flute: French Moore; clarinet: Loren
Butler; cornets: Harold Simpson, Mor
ris Morgan; trombone: Walter Grebe;
drums: Lee Bown; tympani: Maurice
Hyde.
A reading by Miss Charlotte Ban

out the program, which follows:

tentions of becoming members of the
Honor Guard. l’i Beta 1’hi is second

Pour garages have offered their ser
vices for the purpose of teaching the
girls the mechanism and running of
automobiles. These are the Fifth

Dodge Auto Co., and the Pacific gar- I
age. An additional attraction at the !
Sweet Drain Auto Co. is a stripped

struction of the would-be mechanists.
Tuesday night, there will be a class in
first aid *o the injured. Dr. T. W.
Harris is making all arrangements such
as seeing that the ecessary equipment
is provided. Ann ‘cMicken will have

will also be secured. Ed. Shockley is
instructor for these classes.
Thursday uight will be devoted to
military drill although it has not as yet
been decided who the instructor of this
class will be. These drills, as well as
