A recent article in the New York Evening Post lends consider able color and adds some light to the comparison of the college newspaper of the United States and Great Britain. The article was written under the title of “The University Press,” by A. P. Herbert of the staff of Punch, well known London magazine. We quote here a few excerpts from Mr. Herbert’s article:: “Undergraduates, I find, are much the same on both sides of the Atlantic. But there’s one great difference; and that is the readiness of the young men on this side to undergo the horrors of journalism, and daily journalism at that. Oxford and Cambridge have each their weekly student paper; but they are modest affairs, edited secretly by a single shame-faced man in his own rooms, printed in some obsecute den behind a hotel, and read (or shall L say circulated?) by a few hundred persons.” • • * “But to us the amazing things are the university dailies. These, so far as I know, have no counterpart in England. In this university (I will not tell you which) there is a students’ daily which has 3,000 readers. This figure puzzled me a little, until l was told that nearly all the editors of the paper are also subscribers; 80 the paper is well read. “There in considerable competition, to enlist in the battalion of editors, and that, too, is a surprising thing I met a young under- j graduate who informed me that he was one of sixty-live competi-j tors for the post of editor. Ho was undergoing a strenuous ten weeks of trial and emulation, so strenuoin that already some foity had fallen out of the race. At Oxford i doubt if you would find six undergraduates who would spend ten minutes competing for the post of editor. In fact, my recollection is that at the close of the academic year, when the edit oral chair of the Isis was about to be come vacant, the outgoing editor used to prowl about the uni-1 vers it v vainly beseeching student after student to till the thing. A man would be anything rather than up editor. After a few hardened instructors together with some of the able-bodied athletes have all interviewed one lonely editor of an American university newspaper, following the publication of an j opinion with which the aforementioned personages do not agree, he is probably of much the same opinion as Mr. Herbert says the j English student holds. The bed of the American college editor is more cactus than roses. Each year Oregon plays host to the editors of the newspapers throughout the State. This week will see this conference again in session here under the auspices of the University school of Journal ism. Hut the school of Journalism alone must not be left to show the wares of Oregon, the. University must take over its share Let’s make this year’s conference an occasion at which we can dis play to the editors a little of that Oregon democracy for which they all know us. Let's make them one of us for the week-end. SIGMA DELTA CHI HAS CONVENTION IN IOWA Thirty five Schools of Journalism Are Represented; Raymond Lawrence is Oregon Delegate liavmond Lawrence, representative of the University of Oregon chapter ot Sigma Delta Chi, who has returned from the annual convention ot that sovietv held at Ames, Iowa, reports that the convention was a success. Repre sontntives attended front da schools of journalism i ('presenting "s states. Dront inont journalists were present to bring to the students knowledge of the prob loins which confront newspaper men Two chapters were granted by Sigma Delta ('hi tit the eonvention, one at North Dakota and one at Northwestern Unix ersity As far as he could observe, Lawrence said, the Oregon school of .journalism was far better and more comprehensive than people realize. He believes that few if unv colleges in the middle west exc n'd our own in the character of the work. Lawrenee says that the idea of a High School Dress association which the Oregon school of journalism and which was formed under the auspices of the school here is being adopted by othor oolleyos of tho oountry.

PROF. COON TO RENEW WAR-TIME ACQUAINTANCE Lecturer Who Held Close Attention of Men in A. E. F. Comes on Platform for Lyceum Working together in war-time enter tainment in France, Professor Leland Coon, of the school of music, and J. Franklin Babb, lecturer, who comes to Eugene to fulfill a Lyceum engage ment at the Christian church tonight, formed an interesting acquaintance which they will have an opportunity of renewing after a period of more than , two years, during which time neither one knew the whereabouts of the other. “Mr. Babb and I were assigned to the same entertainment group at Brest, France,” said Mr. Coon, “and we. worked together for about four weeks. In our unit were two Italian girls, who sang; an American Y. M. C. A. man; Mr. Babb and myself. Mr. Babb’s' part of the program was a twenty minute talk to the soldiers—a conden sation of his well known lecture, “The One Hundred Per Cent American. ’ Mr. Babb is a brilliant, forceful speaker, and a man of very fine ideas. The j lecture went like wildfire in and about | the camps. The men were very much j interested, and hailed Mr. Babb en thusiastically. And it seems to me that’s about the best recommendation; any lecturer can receive—to be given 1 the attention and interest of Ameri can soldiers,” said Professor Coon. Professor Coon was pianist in the | entertainment unit- He was engaged in that work for three months. Mr. Babb will speak on “The One Hundred Per Cent American” at the Christian church tonight.
