IMPORTANT TO YOU. The subscription campaign for 400 new subscribers is very important to The Emerald. Upon the success or failure of the campaign depends whether The Emerald will be able to continue after Christmas vacation. And for the very reason that it is a life and death matter with The Emerald it is important to the student body of the University. The Emerald is the property of the associated students of Oregon, reflects their thoughts, reports their campus news, keeps them in touch with all campus activity and hotter en ables them to maintain the Oregon ■Spirit. Yet there arc some four hundred members of (he student body—just the number needed as subscribers to insure fhi' future of The Emerald who do their reading over someone’s shoulder or from a copy given them by The Emerald man agement. free. They get the benefits for which The Emerald is responsible and pay nothing toward keeping it for Ore gon.

' To the Editor, . Oregon Emerald. Dear Sir: I notice that you are making an ap ! peal for subscriptions to the Emerald 1 in order to avoid suspension of the pa ' per. I wonder if the students here on the campus realize what the Oregon Emer ald means to the men overseas or to people formerly connected with the I,Diversity who are in other parts of the country? I would like to testify to my own experience along this line. East year while I was away on a leave of absence I as eagerly watched for the Emerald to make its appearance on my desk in the morning when J got to the office as I did for a letter. The Emer ald was always sure to come and the letter might come any time or might not. My surest source of information con cerning the University was always the Emerald. It is true I took the local pa per but the local paper did not fenture University news and I was anxious to know what was going on at I he Univer sity, where the men were who used to hi! in my classes and what they were doing. I managed always t,o steal enough tint • before i did anything else in the morning to rend the Emerald when it came. My experience in one regard will serve to show what the Emerald means to the Oregon man away from the cam pus where he can’t get news first hand I waited one whole week to learn the outcome of the Cnlifornia-Oregon game. The day after the game I hunted through every paper I could find in Boston for the result of the game and couldn't find it anywhere. I could find a report of all the games held in the east or the cen trnl west but games played on the Pa cific coast were conspicuous by their absence in the eastern paper reports. It was only on the Saturday after the game had been played, one week late, that I learned the result, much to my gratification. I hope the student body of the Univeersity will rally to the sup port of The Emeruld, not only because it is an Oregon paper of long and high standing, but because of what the paper means to people who were once here on the campus who are looking forward to the receipt of (lie paper overseas and elsewhere in this country for news of what the campus is doing. It is one of the best agent in fostering the Oregon spirit among the alumni and former stu dents as well as a means of communica tion for people right here on the campus. ^ I hope the student body will pull the Emerald out of the financial hole it seems distined to enter if the necessary support is not forthcoming. Sincerely yours, I>. WALTER MOItTON, .Dean, School of Commerce* versity now fighting in the service of their country will he disheartened that their alma mater has lost the traditional Oregon fight and the Spirit which has made glorious the name of Oregon. They will be men "without a University” for who would want to own as their Univer sity one which has let the greatest col lege spirit of the coast die—which did not have even a college newspaper? These Oregon men would not come hack to Oregon after the war is over. school with such a student body would not stand well among other Universities. Even the high standing of the Univer sity in the past and at. present in the state and coast would not serve to draw the men who made ‘‘Oregon Spirit" back. If the student body of Oregon allows The Emerald to die—they will decide the fate of their paper tomorrow—they will stand disgraced. They will no longer have a medium for the exchange of cam pus thought. They will no longer be in touch with campus news and campus people. They will lose touch with campus Activity and there will be less activity. I'he Oregon Spirit will be something only aeard of. I>o not. remain one of the unfair stu lents.

OREGON MAN AT ST, MI HI EL Captain McClure Writes of His Exper ience with Huns in Drive. The story of part of the St. Mihiel drive, told during the battle, comes in a letter from Captain Walter McClure, written to his mother and eluted Sep tember IS. Captain McClure graduated in ’13 and was a well known truck man. He writes: "Have a little time this morning so 1 thought I'd let you know that 1 came ‘■•lit of the "show” all right, so far. We went over September 111, fought hard cue day and chased the retreating Huns lor two more days and for one du.\ have " en pulled back and are in army re serv e.

They sure left lots of valu ibte stuff. 1 have picked up a lot of sou eiiirs and wiil send some when 1 cau. •*ust night we used a piano left by the Jerinaus, and had quite a concert.

Hall, with approximately GO,OOO speci mens, contains the famous Howell col lection of ferns and flowering plants. In this valuable collection of Pacific coast plants arc 4,000 specimens, 200 of which are types, the mountings dating back to 1875. The late Thomas ,T. Howell's homt was on Sauvie’s Island, near Portland. He was the original collector for the University of Oregon, and was the first man to find specimens of the Fritillaria glanea in the hills near "Waldo, Oregon. There are fine collections of the lily family from .St. Helens, from Sauvie’s Island and from Grants Pass. These collections, movie in 1882-83, vary in size from very small to large and beautiful plants. Many have Howell’s name and the date and place where they were found written in Howell's own handwriting. The Fritallaria, a genus of the lily family, wi’h erect, leafy stems and large nodding bell-shaped flowers, is of the IIowcll collection, and comes from south ern Oregon aud Alaska. The plants are pressed and mounted on large leaflets. Fa eh family is kept in one folder. The valuable type specimens are carefully eared for, being kept in the safe at the Herbarium. The nporoximate number of plants in the botany department is 00,000. The latest collection of specimens is the Ed mond P. Shelton, of Portland. Those plants were mounted in 1002-03. An other large and interesting collection is the W. C. Cusick specimens. Mr. Cnstek is a war veteran, living at the Old Sol diers’ home at Roseburg. There are about 40 different collec tions in the Herbarium. . UNIFORM FOR SALE A new serge uniform of a size to fit a 5-ft. 10 inch or G-foot man, for sale at a reasonable price. Phone 712.
