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

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

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.

THE FORUM j
STUDENT LABOR.
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.

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. ,

HITTING THE FALL STYLE TARGET
Watch the coat room boy. 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. They command
respectful and serious attention. They are dignified in cut
without being old and they are alert and youthful in style
without being too young look-ing.
Styles this Fall are different. Coats are ample and spacious
for the pinched-in effect has gone. So has the long vent.
We want to show you the fall models in Society Brand
Suits and Coats. You will appreciate their superioriey.
