WHY NOT SPEAK ?
The unhoped for is occurring. Ore
gon students, particularly the new
ones, are forgetting one of our great
est customs and traditions, namely,
that of saying “hello” to each other
when they meet. Surely there is not
a student whose name graces the en
rollment books of the University who
does not know of this custom. Much
stress has been put on it in par
ticular at many meetings of the new
.students where Oregon traditions
have been told and explained. Yet
there are many, an increasing num
ber, who walk the paths of the cam
pus without noticing their fellow I
students, who pass them by without j
so much as a nod of recognition.
Hello Lane is beginning to become
an item of history. It is a notice
able fact that one can walk the en
tire length of the beloved, time- es
tablished lane and speak to every
student he chances to meet and he
will receive a return greeting loss [
than one-half the times lie spoke.
Offenders, if you must move about
the campus with mummified lips,
don’t sully Hello Lane with your
presence. Seek other paths—for walk
ing along Hello Lane without speak
ing to your fellow students is worse
than lighting up your pipe and smok
ing in a room whose walls are plas-;
tered with “no smoking” signs.
Girls, particularly the freshman
ones, are the worst offenders to this i
time-honored custom. In many cases |
they regard a man as a bold, brazen
thing to take the privilege of speak-,
ing to them when probably they don’t
know his name. Surely he must be j
trying to flirt with them. Forgot it,
girls. You may not know his name
or maybe have never seen him be- j
fore but when he speaks you know
him as an Oregon student and that
was what the custom was originated
for.
With the increased student body
this year Oregon could easily lose
her democracy, her spirit and her
Oregon light. The easiest way you
can undermine these virtues is to
forget her traditions, one of the great
est of which is to say "hello" to
every student you pass.
CONCERNING THE STAFF
A partial list of this year's Emer
ald stall' will be announced in Sat
urday's issue. There are a number
of students who have proven their
worth repeatedly starting with the
first issue and they will be placed
on the staff as tirst selections. The
list will be but partial, however.
There will be a number of appoint
ments made later, after the appll
It might be of interest to many to
cants have proven their worth.
It might be an Item of Interest to 1
many to know that the universal j
method of greeting on the Oregon
campus and among her students j
wherever they meet is the plain,
ordinary, time established “Hello.",
"How do you do" is a good salute
to use when you meet a professor
maybe, but among us students,
“Hello” sounds a good deal better.
Also it won’t take so much effort for
those who seem to think that it is
hard work to greet a fellow student.
Now is the time to start mention
ing Homecoming in every letter you
write.
How about those new yells or songs
you are going to compose for Oregon?
Remember it was just a month from
yesterday that we are going to vie
with the O. A. C. rooters and Oregon
needs new yells and rooting sug
gestions.
Incidentally, have you joined the
Y.M.C.A. or Y.W.C.A. yet? They are
both campus organizations that need
the support of every man and wo
man. The Y.M.C.A. membership
drive is to be prolonged a few days
more. The cost of joining is small
and the benefits to be derived are
great.
CLASS ROOMS TO BE USED AS
, STUDY QUARTERS
70 Per Cent. Increase in Student Body
Over Last Year, Says Presi
dent Campbell
Along with all the other annexes
made necessary by the increase of
students this year conies the neces
sity of providing an annex for tho
library. So many students desire to
Improve their minds at the library
each evening that table and chair
space is at a premium and those who
come llrst are the lucky ones. Some
thing on the “early bird gets the
worm” idea.
Lust night at a meeting of t lie ad
visory council this matter of con
gestion was the topic of discussion,
and it was decided that the only
way to relieve the situation at the
present time was to turn some of
the classrooms in tho upstairs of the
library into temporary study rooms,
although this plan will necessitate
the handling of the various textbooks
and reference books il number of
times. These new study rooms will
bo under the supervision or graduate
Students and the library plan for
handling the books will bo followed.
President Campbell, who was pres
out at tlie meeting, reports the in
crease of students this year about 70
per cent, over last. At a result of
tliis the problem of conogestion pro
mises to be large and one that will
no doubt cause more inconvenience
and trouble before tho ending of
the year.
NEW OREGON SONG COMING
To Be Presented to Student Body as
Soon as Copyright Arrives.
As soon as tho copyright is received
a new Oregon song, composed l>>
Homer William Marls, TG, is to be
presented to the student body.
The song takes up the theme which
expresses the pleasure derived from
singing tlie old Oregon songs. The
tune is It is own, but carries a little
of the melody contained in “Days
at Oregon."
Mr. Maris is a skilled pianist and
singer. During his four years at tho
University of Oregon he took two
years of harmony that he might be
able to write songs. He took two
years of graduate work here.
ERROR FOUND IN U-AVAVA GRADE
U-Avavas Eighteenth Instead of Sev
enteenth on List
In figuring up the U-Avava club’s
new scholarship standing, which was
published in a recent Issue of the
Emerald, an error was made in that
the grades of graduate students were
used in compiling the averages. Ac
cording to information from the re
gistrar’s office tile house grades are
averaged strictly from undergradu
ates' grades.
The new average, leaving out the
grades of Henry Howe and Henry
English, places the I’-Avavn eight
eenth instead of seventeenth in the
list of house grades, with an average
of 1.678.
FISHING FOR SALMON,
GIRLS VACATION WORK
Deep-sea Trolling Off Columbia Occu
pation of Laura Moates—Eerns
$200.
The University boasts a deep-sea
fisherman among its students. She
is Miss Laura Moates, who spent the
past summer helping her father troll
jfor salmon outside the Columbia river
bar.
Miss Moates and her father oper
ated out of Ilwaco, Wash., a town
across the river from Astoria and
nestling just within the jutting hed
land of Cape Disappointment.
She tells of their dally work, which
sometimes took then? as far as 30
miles out to sea in a small 30-foot
power boat. Again, they fished close
to the shore where the presence of
breakers and tidal currents rendered
the work far more dangerous than
when it was conducted in the open
sea. Miss Moates preferred it there,
however, because of the greater ex
citement and the fact that larger
catches of fish could be made there
than further from the shore. She
earned $200 in slightly over a month
by this work.
Most of the work consisted of
watching the lines and steering the
boat, according to Miss Moates, and
she says is is not hard at all—not
any harder than staying at home and
washing dishes or cleaning house.
They lived right on the boat and
only went in now and then to the
shore for provisions, she explained.
“I started in trolling summer be
fore last,” said Miss Moates, “in
order to help my father. He could
n’t get any men on account of the
war. but I only worked a few weeks.”
In trolling the fish are caught on
“spoons”—bright curved pieces of
metal carrying hooks. These spoons
are caused to whirl and flash by the
boat dragging them through the
water. A single boat fishes with
several lines at once.
98 SERVICE MEIN DRILL
Large Number of Volunteers Pleases
and Surprises Commandant
Eighty-nine ox-service men enrolled
at the University of Oregon have
volunteered for military training. It
is the belief of Captain R. C. Baird,
commandant, that this is a larger
enrollment of ex-service men for mil
itary training than in any other uni
versity on the coast.
The time spent in the service by
these men ranges from four months
to two years. Several of them receiv
ed commissions while in the army.
Company E has been formed to ac
commodate these men.
Following are the temporary offi
cers in charge of the R. O. T. C. ap
pointed by Captain Baird: Captain
John Gamble, Company E; Captain
Arnold Koepkc, Company B; Lieut
enant Don 1). Davis, Company A;
