SAY “HELLO” If an old Oregon student shout'd pass an unfamiliar fresh man on Hello Ijane without greeting him it would at once he a disregard for one of Oregon’s oldest traditions and a desec ration of her democratic name. And yet it is done. ' Every time this duty is neglected Oregon Spirit suffers. If is the common interests of the students that form the basis of college activities; everything hinges on the individual re lationship. . A total of persons and personal things is what Oregon is, and Oregon Spirit, after all, is merely a summation of individual interests and aspirations. Oregon cannot reach! its utmost possibilities or realize the brightest promises of a! Greater Oregon unless these mutual interests be thorough and sincere with everyone. It calls for a mutual understanding Wjhieh is thorough; it calls for a general feeling of good fel lowship, for common purposes. No one can understand a stranger, henee the University must contain no strangers, no one to hang back as a dead weight because every pulse cannot beat in unision and feel as the rest — because it cannot know the thrill of true Oregon Spirit. Oregon has long been a great school; it is rapidly becom ing a big oue. A danger threatens—may not Oregon some day go the way of many large institutions, may not her Spirit be Shallowed up by mere bigness ? In days gone by Oregon has Upheld her name among colleges of several times her size, because, though out-numbered, Oregon wras unified while the j others were not. It was a case of circumstances, because she i was small Oregon was drawn together, because others were %ge their interests tended to fall apart. As Oregon grows she must be held together. And Hello .Lane with-its traditions is one big factor that can do this. No matter how many the newcomers are, they cannot always re main strangers if, day in and day out, they are greeted with a hearty “hello” about the campus. If this habit lias lagged in i the last few years it is time to stimulate it again before it is too late. Oregon must not be lax in safeguarding the Oregon Spirit, she must not forget her democracy nor neglect her traditions, she must not fail to say “hello.” I A good step was taken by tiie Student Council when it voiced its disapproval of promiscuous soliciting of downtown merchants for advertising to support calendars, blotters, tele phone directories, and such unessentials for use of students of the University. If such printed articles are found to be necessary to students, they should be sold to them, not given away at the expense of Eugene business men. Usually the promoter of such schemes makes a sizable share of money for himself, and pays but little attention to the advertisers who; made the scheme a reality. The students of the University cannot afford to antagonize in any way the business men who have helped the University in every crisis. The Emerald welcomes communications from any member of the student body or faculty on any matter pertaining to t% welfare of the University. The Emerald is your paper. Use il l All communications must bo written legibly and signed by the writer. A ficticious name will be used if de sired. ii Books and Supplies Sold on Profit Sharing1 Basis Brery student body member a "Co op” member is the plan of the Univer sity student's supply store, the "Co-op”, which has opened on the eoruer of loth and Kincaid. Although the store has been in operation for only a few days the results are very eneouraging according to Carl Newbury, a member of the hoard of directors of the store. The sale of membership tickets is in progress. These one dollar member ship tickets are on sale at the “Co-op” and kl the Administration building. 'flraduote-Manager McClain, who is al so manager of the "Co-op”, in speaking of the store said thut it. was the inten tion of the directors to attempt to fill every need which the students on the campus might feel in the way of sup plies and books. In this way the store Will be much more than just a University book store. This cannot be done until the students really get hack of the move ment. Manager McClain went on to say. but in tins' it will be possible to carry it out. Students All Stockholders. The “Co-vp" is run by .Manager Mc Clain on a co-operative basis declaring dividends. There are five directors from tb> strident body and two from the fac ulty. Every student who buys a mem bership ticket becomes a stockholder with the right to buy supplies and at the end of tin* year dividends are declared on the profits. With eveay purchase made ut the store a slip is given and these are to be turned in in order that the amount of the purchases may be as CO-OP" SHE TO eertained at the end of the year. All books and other supplies that are needed for work in the University will be fu'iu ished it a reasonable cost, thus making ' a distinc t saving for the student. | First “Co-op” In 1911. This movement for a store run by the ! student body that shall fill the needs of the students is not new this year. Be ginning in 1U11 and for the following five years the University book store was in the basement of the library, under the, direction of .M. 1J. Douglas. President Campbell and Mr. Douglas guarautetgl this project so that the students might obtain their books at a reasonable cost. In .1010 the business grew too large and a “Co-<»p” store was started which was somewhat similar in purpose and organ ization to tiie present one! This store was in operation until the spring of ( miS when it was decided to sell out. This decision was not due to financial failuro for at the end of these two years .{500 clear profit was turned over to the student body by Manager McClain. It was because, due to the war, other stu dent. body activities were going in the hole, and it was thought best to take the money out of the store and put it into them. At the time the store was sold an agreement was made that it would stay out of business for two years. The two years are no aud the second "Co-op” is now in running order.

To the Emerald:—In every university or college there are a number of stu dents who must depend upon outside work to help pay their expenses at school and the University of Oregon is apparently no exception to this rule. The University through its Y. M. C. A. is conducting without charge an employ ment. agency for students. Every effort is being made to secure employment, for the tnen but the demand has so far ex ceeded the available jobs. This condition brings about a sort of competition among students who must earn tlieir expenses and for this reason student labor becomes cheap. This is partly the fault of the student* them selves who are willing to work for very low wages. In other universities a uni form wage scale is established and the • students abide by it and therefore the , public cannot impose upon them. Xot so in Eugene. Students who must! work are imposed upon ton easily. It is i only fair to snv that this state of affairs j exists because there is not a definite un- j derstnnding as to what shall constitute a I reasonable wage for working students, j If such :■ wage could be agreed upon among the students no one would have the impudence to offer them five dollars a month for working two hours every day. This is only a sample of some of the jobs listed this year. Such offers are an insult to self-respecting students who must work their way through school. But after all this matter would seem to rest with the working students themselves. Oregon- Student. 1 a ■ Second of Residence Halls to Be Ready by January. ’ITii' new hall of residence for l nfver- J sity women will in all probability be : ready for occupancy by January, ac cording to Dean Elizabeth Fox. "Hendricks hall,” said Miss Fox, "is the first of the University’s residence system for women. When the hall was outgrown, cottages were used as an nexes, but now we are looking forward to the completion of the new hall.” The organization this year is along the lines of a permanent residence scheme, Key in':;; halls of residence with a head resi led in each is the plan, stated Miss FoS. ”\te hope to be able eventually to louse the University women in bnlla on the general plan of Hendricks hall." 'nrther stated Miss Fox, "although it ivill bo several years before it will be possible to entirely do away with the ctuller residences." The new hall is being built on the ime plan as Hendricks hall except | bat the dining room will be omitted. A Sominittee of the board & regents has ieen appointed to choose a name for the jiuildiog. , JANET YOUNG IS STAR Graduate Open? Theatrical Season Inj Salt Laka.

Even he judges men by their clothes. Notice how he jumps around when a man with well tailored clothes hands him a check. & That is the story of Society Brand Clothes.
