Manager . Campus office . Down town office THE EMERALD STAFF An enlarged Emerald staff is an nounced in this issue. This is but a partial staff and is made up for the most part of journalists who have had one or more years’ experience on the paper. The appointment of this new number of writers does not mean that there is now no chance to se cure a position on the Emerald stuff. There are yet a number of reporter’s positions to fill and other appoint ments will be made as soon as ap plicants make known their ability by test. Furthermore these new ap pointments are tentative insomuch as they will hold good only as long as the new members keep up their work in good style and live up to tho re quirements made by tho Emerald and its staff of oditors. The Emerald demands a price from all its workers. Staff membership cannot be had without a demand for loyal work and servitude on the part of every one of its members. The staff is liable to be changed several times during the year. The tried and true will remain while those who are not willing to make the sacri fices their positions bring will have to eive wav to those who will. G60 565 655 131G To tlie people who arc now work ini? for the Emerald and who are not mentioned on this stall’ let us advise you not to become discouraged. Your efforts are being watched care fully. Continued effort on your part will bring weighty consideration for appointment to the staff. It Is not the brilliant writer that has the best chance of securing an appointment. Consistent effort, dependability, loyal service, alertlies* and a willingness to sacrifice other things for the Em erald are the cardinal virtues taken into consideration in appointing new staff members. PLEDGE DAY Every student should attend assem bly Thursday. It will be Oregon’s annual pledge day and the ceremonies are so significant of University of Oregon ideals and spirit that no stu dent should be absent. Our University is one of the few institutions of learning that have an annual pledge day. it is a tradition at Oregon and one of the many ex pressions of Oregon ideals that have developed the democracy and high type of national and state patriotism that exists on the campus. While the meaning of the words of our pledge are really deeply em bedded in the mind of every stu dent, nevertheless maybe the hurry and scurry of college life have caus ed some of us to forget the fact. Attend the ceremonies by all means. Repeat the pledge. It will make you feel better. The Emerald is always glad to re ceive communications from its read ers. If you have ideas on things you would like to see the Emerald ex press, tell us about them. The col umns of the Emerald will always be open to material which its readers would. like to express through its medium. Roses and stones will be accepted alike. One requirement is necessary, however, and that is that the communications be signed by the writer. Write a letter tonight to some Ore gon graduate or former student to come “Home" to watch us “Win Again." The alums really want to jeome. They don’t need to be urged, but we do want them to feel that they will be welcome and a note however short will accomplish this ; purpose. Tell them to remember THE one important date of this term —Homecoming, November 15. Students who go to the library to study can easily be distinguished from those who go for company or curiosity. The earnest students sit facing the wall while the others sit in a stragetic position facing the cen ter aisle so that they can watch the good looking girls and handsome men go in and out. Everybody thinks lhat the other fellow is queer. Even friends with whom we are well acquainted do thingH In ways that to us are in comprehensible. It all simmers down to what the Quaker said to his friend, to wit: “Everybody is crazy except thee and me and even thee art a little queer.” Sometimes everything seems all wrong in life. In such a mood most people will agree with George Ber nard Shaw when he says: “The long er 1 live on this earth the more cer tain 1 become that the other planets use this world for a lunatic asylum.” Why look on the dark side of life? This may bo a very imperfect old world but there is a good deal of fun in it. The man who had been knocked head over heels by a speed ing auto had the right idea when he picked himself up and said that he was glad he hadn’t been run over by a locomotive.—H.S. GRAD WRITES MORTON Ben Breeding Now Oil Salesman and Accountant in Ohio In a letter to Dean D. Walter Mor ton, Hen H. Breeding, an old Univer sity of Oregon man, tells of his work as salesman for the Henry L. Doher ty company of Toledo, Ohio, Besides selling oil. Breeding is doing ac counting on the side, which, he said, added materially to his net income at the end of the month. Breeding said. "No matter what they say about the Hast, it’s hard to compare with the West.” lie also went on to say that he preferred a canoe or fishing pole any time to a show or cabaret. “And how is Oregon by now—I imagine all is sailing along serenely and ‘fall cases’ are becoming serious enough to lower quli’.? grades —always the same." is one of the interesting paragraphs in Breeding's letter. He was a Sigiua Ohi here. HOUND One Conklin and one Water man fountain pen. See George Turn bull at Journalism annex Law Studes Called To Settle Dispute Caused by Auction Heated arguments and redhot re buttals will invade the dignified peace and quiet of the law library on Wed nesday evening, according to advance reports of the second session of moot court, which will convene at that time. One Harrington is suing Richardson for damages to the ex tent of reimbursement for money spent and time lost by the party of the first part when he attempts to purchase from said Richardson at an “honest” auction sale an equine of rare value. Gloss and Burleigh will act as coun sel for the appellant while Conrad and Ingram will handle the respon dent’s side of the argument. Ac cording to the records and history of the case, it would appear that said Harrington bid on a certain highly valued steed at an auction sale wherein the aforesaid Richardson was auctioneer. Harrington failed to get the horse for the claimed reason that the owner stepped in and overbid (him a few paltry dollars just before the auctioneer’s hammer fell for the last time; whereupon the appellant proclaimed a crooked deal and began suit for damages for valuable time and money spent in attempting to secure the aforementioned horse. McKay will occupy the exalted pos ition of chief justice while Kingsley and Wade will act as associate jus tices. This is in all seriousness, for, be it remembered, that this case is before the supreme court—of moot court.
