Editorial Oregon Daily Emerald Section II VOLUME XXII. -UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY. JUNE 4 , 1921. NO. 146, "Thirty” The Daily. Who gets the credit. News with your breakfast. An institution. Handing ourselves bouquets. _By Harry A. Smith. — Last year at this time the Oregon paily Emerald was a dream. Today it; j„ a reality. Oregon has a daily under graduate newspaper, the first in the state, the fifth on the coast and in the west. The members of the Emerald staff, from the editor to the youngest reporter on the news staff, feel that in aiding Oregon to have a daily news paper they have really done something worth while for the institution loved hy all students. Last year at this time, the question was: “Do you really think you can af ford to put out a daily paper?” Today it is: “How much money are you going to clear?” Students no longer doubt the fact that a daily paper can be made financially successful. It has been done this year. The credit is due to the Em erald business manager and to the loyal merchants of Eugene who always co operate so heartily with anything Ore gon students undertake to do. ♦ * * One custom of students at Oregon is jou st nofla.io W sjuapiqs jo mo^sno ono to one or two persons. The success of Junior Week-end, for instance, cannot be given to the chairman of any one com mittee, or to the chairmen of several committees. The rank and file of juniors and of all who co-operated in a small but nevertheless important way. are re sponsible for the success of the week-end. The same applies lo the Emerald. The editor and manager alone could not have made a daily Emerald possible. It was the hard working loyal rank and file of staff members who made the Emerald possible this year. They deserve the credit for whatever success the Emerald has had this year. Without their co operation this issue, or any other, would have been impossible. As the Emerald grows, the importance1 ro YOU WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE. possible™o yoii^vh^hav^m:/1)116 !arg'est Emera,ld ever issued, since the publication nr . d< ,c evei7 lssue of the Emerald Oregon campus was started 1 *l?ate neW8Paper 011 the Oregon students (V to--> i P° ]V' I C: to you who have seen gou Daily Emerald** a‘load and Jmmch successfully the Ore of Eugene m f rrc?ant8 an,i' business men Any EinmVhl"i 1 (‘iUty tl,ailks boat wishes, most sincere friends tl/'T* U ot Oregon, one of the and faith in the dent, fTf • lm*V A,s*>irit (,t‘ ° 'tnclents (,t the University of Oregon inspires . , • invuuua ui me unive Every student m r.Tt ; ,*?• ar‘‘SSH”‘ ol til8nks « sensed" l"ml"sl n’8 yoali wltJ1 a'|ailV newspaper, the Emerald ™ vs m,de u K ?'Td ,Tll.ro,,*h fi«t two tenia tliro,«i'Tie last ?e™^,miU]e, U Iwssibla ™ *« glide close of (hi.,1 . e l*! aJwrtrsements interesting.

Few stu dents realize the work necessitated by daily news gathering and daily writing. It is taken for granted that the Emerald will appear on time, and no credit is given anyone for its appearance. * » * While speaking of the appearance of the Emerald every morning on time, has it ever occurred to anyone to compare a morning Emerald with those of preced ing years. Along with the other changes instituted at the start of the year was that of delivering the Emerald in the morning, with all the news of yesterday fresh before you at the breakfast table (Continued on Page t>) I GRADUATE TELLS OF BIG MARINE STRIKE __ Norman Philips Connected With Shipping Firm. 1 TONNAGE IS SCARCE Portland Taking Lead As Ex port Center. Norman Y. Philips, a graduate of tlio class of 1920 who is at present in the employ of tjio Admiral Steamship line, spent the week-end on the campus as the guest of his friends here. Philips is con nected with the foreign freight office of the Pacific Steamship Company, which is a branch of the Admiral line, and has been in a position to see the effects of the present, nation-wide marine engineers strike. The branch of the Admiral line with [which Philips is connected runs its ships to the Orient, through the canal to the eastern coasts, and to Alaska. Due to the strike, according to Philips, this one branch of the immense waterways trans portation system is at least a month’be hind in its cargoes. That is. it will be approximately a month after the strike is called off until conditions have returned to normal. Even without the shortage due to the strike, there has been a dearth of bot toms, says Philips. At no time have the transportation companies been able to charter the tonnage necessary to move the cargoes which could be contracted. Much of this condition, according to Philips, is due to the inefficient control of shipping conditions nationally. Ho cites as one instance of this, the fact that an attempt was made to charter a vessel for cargo to Hamburg from Portland. Two vessels available were lying in the Portland harbor but the shipping board ordered a vessel down from Seattle. The result was the loss of several days’ time, as well as the added demurrage costs. The Campus Cynic GRAND SLAM! To tin* Editor: The year creeps to a close with a thousand and a half of us panting for breath and yelping for mer c.\. \\ e may succeed in getting our breath; but we won't get any mercy— not. for the profs. The proper atti tude of a prof right now runs thus: “I’ve been too lenient the last few months, I shall be more severe these final few weeks. Ill show them I'm a man not to be monkeyed with.” Whereupon he lays on lustily, adding everything that he forgot during the school year, or neglect ed to do because of his activity in formu lating rules and regulations to ‘raise the standard of scholarship.’ Somehow a prof always has one great, grand spasm of energy near the end of the year, lead ing one to believe that he might possibly possess some remaining drops of wim. wigger, and witality in his blood. Hut be not deceived, folks. We who have dozed and slumbered the weary minutes through in some mid-winter clnss, lean ing alongside a clanking, spluttering rad iator, know too much about, some of our instructors to ever be misled. The year started out unpropitiously. | Lysle socks were n dollar fifty n pair, j consequently some of us had to wear cot ton hosiery on fussing nights. Class rooms were so arranged that it seemed like most of us had to sit in the front row and inspect, every morn, the thin, embattled, and serried ranks of hair on the top center part, of our educational advisor’s face, where he parted glossy locks these twenty years ago. Those locks had sense enough to quit when they found the soil hand and infertile as the granite quarries of Vermont state. Why do the other darn fool spears remain? They ob struct what otherwise might be a perfect egg-shaped fore and aft vista, radiant unto glory with its glossy periderm. They prevent that glossy speroid from becom ing a veritable seers crystal into wide!* a student of the front row might gaze, mesmerize himself, and see his past, present, and future spread out before WHO IS E. J. H. Since the first of the school year this question hns puzzled the minds of the Oregon students. Who is this campus cynic, who in his let ters to the editor of the Emerald has scorned and ridiculed all things which came within his vision? VS ith this, the last issue of the Oregon Daily Emerald, for this year, the staff announces the name of the cynic. E. «T. H. is Ernest J. Haycox. The Cynic was born when E. J. II. started sending letters to the Emerald about the first of the year. They were signed only by his initials, and for some time ap peared, while even the Emerald editors were ignorant of the ident ity of the writer. Near the end of the first term a successful attempt was made to get in touch with the mysterious writer. He agreed to keep up his contributions, with the result that they have appeared from time to time in the Emer ald’s columns. The spasmodic appearance of the “Campus Cynic” in print hns been due to the fact that E. ,T. II. writes only when the inspiration moves him. With true cynicism he has dealt with the more trifling prob lems of scholastic life, his facetious philosophy a relief to those who would take this life too seriously him. ’Tis not. only flip harassed tufts of hair that, we must gaze on every morn; but it is that face! It forcibly reminds you that, even profs get up from the nightly couch with a huge, ingrown dis gust engraved on their digestive centers by last midnight’s potato salad; that they liavt^ stumbled, ns you and I to the Ledroow fawcet, uttering scholarly ob (Continued on l’age 8) Service The Varsity during the past year has excelled in service.
