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

of the editor and manager will increase,
but so will the importance of being a
member of the Emerald staff. 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

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
