FOR HEMST CUTEST Rifle Teams Will Compete For National Trophy Tlie tentative line-up of the Ore gon rifle team for the Hearst trophies match has been announced at the local It. O. T. C. as: Ted Mays, Earl Robnett, Rupert Gil bert, Wilbur Hayden, Sherman Smith, Joseph Peak and Thomas Page. The Hearst match, as has already been announced, will be nation wide in scope. Over 250 teams from all over the country are already en tered. Changes in the above line-up may be made before time for the match. Seven men will shoot, and the scores of the five placing high-: est will be sent in. The date of the match has not been definitely announced, but will probably be during the month of February. The scores from the various schools will be telegraphed to the headquarters, and the team scoring highest will be awarded the large cup offered by William Randolph Hearst. Dual matches with 25 colleges and universities have been arranged for the men’s team. They will take place between February 9 and April 12, in addition to the Ninth Corps Area competition during February. Nine contests are on the program for the girls’ team, to take place during the same period. With the practice the girls had during the matches and the interest they are showing in the preliminary tryouts now, the local officers will be able to put a good team in the field. | SIDELIGHTS | --o (Continued From Page One.) Some one ought to put up a sign for the benefit of those who take these Greek names seriously. Some of the delegates may be frightened by the idea that they will have to learn Greek in order to converse inside the houses. Another group which made a long journey to get to Eugene was the delegation from Klamath Falls. In order to make this trip by train it , is necessary to go south to Weed, California, where the train is taken for the north. There are 22 more women in the conference than men according to the names given out by the registra tion committee. There are 30 ' representatives of high school women’s leagues on the campus. Their meetings are, of course, dominated by the feminine element. • • < Another group that is almost dom inated by women is the student body secretaries. There are 27 of them registered and 23 are women. The largest group is that of the editors and managers. There are 329 of them. In the group of journalists the men outnumber the women by 15. There are 16 more men who are stu dent body presidents than there are women. In the not specified group there : are 47 women and 36 men. * * * ] If any fear was felt that the high school women would not be repre sented it is now dispelled. It must be remembered, however, that they have an advantage over the men. They can send delegates as repre sentatives of women’s leagues. * » * This would seem to indicate that women are just as prominent in high school affairs as men. It is significant that the differ, ence between the number of women FORUM MEETING BOK PEACE PLAN, TOPIC An open forum meeting will be held at eight o’clock Sunday even ing at the Unitarian church, which should interest University men and women as the Emerald is conducting a ballot on the plan at the request of the sponors.

EDITOR GIVES OPINION OF COLLEGE VALUES (Continued from page one) call, tells them that her son is doing very well, thank you, being editor of a metropolitan newspaper out in '•Oregon. Well, if I’m not the man my mother pictures, I am glad at least that I am not the utter failure the catty women seemed to hope I would become. I know this, that I handi capped myself gravely and lost much valuable time when I quit school for a ;job. We didn’t have schools of jour nalism in those days. True, I did learn somewhat of journalism by go ing to work on a newspaper, but, first off, they made me a police re porter and kept me a police report er for several years, so that I learned police reporting and nothing else. I could make “copy” but I didn’t know what became of it when it left my hands. I knew nothing of head-writing, or make-up, or stereo typing, or edition times, or any of the mechanics of a newspaper. I know nothing about advertising, or overhead costs, or the price of news print. I could write a police story, and that was all I could do for a num ber of years. Other young men— j college men who had studied jour nalism—came into the field to com pete with me. They had studied in tensively, and at 21 they had more all-round newspaper knowledge than I did at 30. So that many of them outstripped me in the race. Some of them are famous today. Others are simply rich. I hope none of the j young people I have met at this con vention will make the mistake I made. Don’t throw education away. Get it all and get it early. I got my education in the school of experience, and it set me back at least ten years. ART TUCK RETURNS TO OREGON CAMPUS (Continued from page 1) out now,” said Hayward last night and he faces the problem of de veloping new material in the 100, 200, hurdles and middle distances. Some of the men who have been out for practice this week are Mautz, Tuck and Stockwell in the weights, and Tuck in the javelin. Anderson and Rosenburg are also named as competitors in the stick event. Tuck’s coast record of 193 feet 10 inches was recently broken by Flint Hannah, of Stanford. Bill has no distance men of known ability but Tetz, Keating and Mc Call, although there are many as pirants for distance berths in the spring. Risely, Rosebraugh, Harold Young and Hardenburg are the list of quartermilers. All but Young are lettermen. Rutherford runs the half. In the high jump Spearow and Eby are named. Although no meets are scheduled until April of the spring term, Hay ward plans to have competition in some event every Saturday of this term to maintain an interest for the men turning out.

DELEGATES DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF PRESS (Continued from page one) The place of the editor he consid ered of highest importance. “Your duty is to take the fresh men and sophomores as they enter and inculcate in them the spirit which will characterize your particu lar school,” he said. '“In your ef fect on school spirit and education you may be influential far beyond an adult man.” he declared. Interchanging Ideas Urged Dean Allen urged the delegates to interchange ideas among them selves as well as to absorb them from the speakers. He envisioned these high school journalistic leaders as the big figures in the journalism of tomorrow, editors and managers of metropolitan dailies and holders of positions in schools of journalism. Professor W. F. G. Thatcher talked upon the advertising side of the publication problem. He ad vised drawing up a forecast of the expenses of the year and the possi ble sources of income and fixing a rate for the year. He urged solic itation of those merchants whose line of goods was related to the students, ; confectionery, books, athletic goods and most of all moving pictures. Tn the matter of salesmanship of adver tising Mr. Timelier deprecated the begging of advertisements. He be lieves that advertising should be sold on the basis of returns to the adver tiser. Tn regard to the writing of advertising Mr. Thaclier stressed three salient points, attention, inter est, and creation of desire in the mind of the reader. Editorial Writing Considered The afternoon meeting had a larg er attendance than the morning gath ering. Professor Falph T). Casey spoke on the high school's use of the editorial and stressed the impor- ! tance of the news end in editorial | writing. “He who sees maladjustments where everything is apparently going i smoothly is a good editorial writer,” j | he said. The requirements for a good editorial writer are a sense of humor, refraining from being too preachy and realizing the responsi bility inherent in the job. Freda Goodrich, editor of the j Oregana, outlined the plan under which her work was carried on. “Tn this kind of work,” she said, “organization is the first rule of success.” The Oregana work is handled entirely by sections, each section head being responsible for a 'j certain amount of work a week. Fred Boalt, editor of the Portland Nows, won an enthusiastic response to his talk on feature writing. “Straight news, which can be meas ured with a yardstick, is the body of a paper,” he said. “The editorial is the mind of the sheet, the depart ments its habiliments, and human ihterest stories, the soul. They deal with the events of the soul, chivalry, self sacrifice, love and on the ugly side, hatred and selfishness.” .Tack Hempstead, editor of the Amplifier of West Linn high school described the growth of the paper from an illegible mimeographed sheet in 1921 to its present size with 16 columns of news and a large circulation. Leonard Chadwick of Salem and John Black of McMinn ville reported on their publications. Lyle Janz, one time manager of the Emerald, advocated cooperation between editor and manager as an essential to success. Art Rudd, edi tor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, described the inner workings of the paper. The staff of 60 is so organ ized, he stated, that if any member were to go away some one would be ready to step into his place.
