Day Editor—Esther Davis Assistants—Dick Jones Sol Rohinson Night Editor—Camel Nelson Student Participation in Selecting a President Tomorrow the University regents meet in Portland to discuss the selection of a president for the University. It may be presumed that names of various men will be seriously considered at this session, al though it is improbable that any final ac tion will be taken. Oregon students are most vitally inter ested in the proposition of electing a suc cessor to President Campbell. This sum mer they read eagerly of the qualifica tions expected of a candidate. He is to be a Big maft, in every sense of the word; he is to be, probably, an Eastern man. Furthermore the search is not to cease until the right man is found. Since that time no word has come to the students regarding the progress of the search. The undergraduates realize the situa tion is a delicate one, requiring tact and patience from all parties. Presidents of universities are not selected with the frankness characterizing the choice of governors or national presidents—or even football coaches. Oregon students believe, however, that they might have been taken into confi dence more than during the past fejv months. Wild rumors float about but invariably prove to be without substance. Undergraduates are not alone in their queries. Alumni are questioning and one suspects that the faculty would not be av erse to know which way the wind is blowing. Oregon students are anxious \that a Eresident be selected as soon as possible. veryone is waiting-waiting—waiting— for the new president before plans are launched for development of a Greater University, A big central personality at the head of affairs would have a stimulat ing on constructive work at the Univer sity While Oregon undergraduates are an xious to have a president be appointed as soon as possible, they are equally insistent that the regents do their utmost to find the very best man for the position. Ore gon wants a truly Great man and will be expecting an executive of this stamp. Oregon students arc convinced of an other point. They believe they should play a part in the selection of the presi dent. who, once installed, will daily meet «md work with them. Why, they ask, should they not have an active interest in the selection of this mant Of course, the undergraduates do not wish to exercise the veto power on the regents. They do not wish to know pub licly every move of the regents. They would appreciate, however, having the regents confer with a student committee, perhaps, while this business is going on. This committee might be of little value to the students at large, and to the re gents; on the other hand, it might be of service to both. Oregon students wish to be respectful in this matter; at the same time believ ing themselves to be among the most vitally concerned, they feel they have a right to play at least a small role in these extremely important meetings. The Book Nook o-----o It’s human. Barry Benefield’s “The Chicken Wagon Family” is the simple story of a news paper man, not an editor but one who never becomes more than a reporter. It is seldom that the authors of today realize that a simple life story can be written just afl entertainingly as sensational stories of gold strugglqrs, gold-hoarders, and “gold-diggers.” When such a writer does come forth, his book is welcomed with open arm*. This book deserves great popularity, and it is to be feared that its title will mislead many. The book is not a comic or juvenile family, nor is it an epic of pioneer days. Jim Pickens, just a newspaper reporter, gives up his life’s happiness to save a friend. How poor Jim struggles on in the dreary life re sulting and how he comes to the turning of the road and can hardly believe it is true makes a story, simply told, which will catch at your heart strings. This book is of particular interest to the Emerald workers and journalism mjajors in so far as the setting is a great deal in the large newspapers of New York. The book was writ ten by a newspaper man and the scenes are therefore true to the trade. F. M. _25 Years Ago_ OREGON WEEKLY November 12, 1900 C. N. McArthur, editor-in-chief of the Weekly, is in California with the football team. While there he will arrange for the California spring track meet. BEDUCTIO AD AB8UBDUM Six fearful freshmen wiggling, all alive; Washburn got one, then there were five. Five football freshmen feeling very sore; One tackled Jakway, then there were four. Four funny freshmen, students tried to be; One entered Logic and then there were three. Three weary freshmen, by thoughts of homle made blue; One got a birthday cake, then there were two. Two tiny frshmen having lots of fun; Don’t it take two of them to make just onef N. G. S. WHY SOME OF US ABE KICKING Because we can only take two books from the library; a ruling suited more to a public school than to a university. Because misguided people play on the piano in Villard hall during recitation and study hours. Because students persist in talking in the study rooms to the disconterting of others who wish to study. Because the librarian occupies the library roonijs with her art students. Because the superintendent of buildings re fuses to run the electric lights for the literary societies after 10:30 o’clock Friday nights.

GET IN THE LIMERICK CONTEST Three (Count ’Em) Free Frizes There was a young man they called Pug Who got by on the curves of his mug. With a smile on his face, He won the big race (Fill in Line) My Name .-Phone. Address . A contest that will appeal to the weary senior, weighted with his knowledge and his sombrero, the junior with his shiny unwashed eOrds, the sophomore with his newly-found jauntiness and class-consciousness, and the freshman tasting his first dose of higher education and the business end of a paddle, has been formulated by the Seens. A contest which not only will bring fame and glory to the winners (all three of ’em), but a tangible reward in the shape of passes to the McDonald theatre, donated by Don ald McDonald, manager of that showhouse. “To limerick is hum^m,” said Plato in one of his rarer moments of jocularity, and people h&ye been at it ever since. So, in choosing a type of contest that would appeal to the sunburnt, sea going athlete, as well as to the freshman miss who wears leopard coats and galoshes and a few other things, the Seers chose a Limerick contest. * • * » THE RULES There are no strings attached to the offer other than good Umexicking and a reasonable legibility in signing your name, address and phone number. Simply fill in the blank line of the above limerick with a line which rhymes and is best calculated to finish the thought with the greatest punch. Attach your namje^ address and phone number and drop in one of the contest boxes placed In the Co-op and the library for that purpose. The contest will close at 12 o’clock sharp Saturday morning. Limericks will be judged by the Seers and the awards will be made Monday, so that the wjtaner can attend Monday performances of the show. Winning rhymes will be published in Tuesday’s Emerald. The contest is limited to campus folk. That is all there is to it, folks, and we earnestly advise you to step, right up and grab you off a couple of passes. The prize for the best limerick is a pass good for three admission to any performance of a “Bobbed Hair,” playing at the McDonald theatre Monday and Tuesday. Second prize is a pass entitling the holder to two admissions to the same show. Third prize will be a pass ad mitting one. In case of duplication, the lim erick falling into the hands of the Seers first will be declared the winner, so get your entries in early. There was a young fellow named Wilderman, Now where would you look for a milder man, But when after publicity, He finds true felicity, And cares not a gosh darn for child or man. WHAT’S THAT TO YOU? Governor Pierce (To happy mbther): “What a fine, healthy baby you have!” G. P. (20 years later): “What a brilliant, clever student your son is! ” G. P. (20 years later): “What a strong, pow erful lawyer your eon is!” G. P. (20 years later): “What a good, respect ed man your son is!” • MOTHER: “WHAT A PERSONAL OLD 80N OF-A-GUN YOU’RE GETTING TO BE!” 0.8. « • • • Here’s a limerick with one of those strong, feep, underlying themes that have attracted the master minds of all centuries. ..Note the beauty »f sentiment: There was a sculptor named Phidias, Whose statues wfere positively hideous; He sculptored Aphrodite, Without any nightie, And shocked the over fastidious.
