UNIVERSITY HIGH CLUB SELECTS FOUR PLAYS The University High Dramatics club has selected four plays for presentation besides their longer play “Penrod.” The plays chosen are “The Travelling Man” (a mir acle play) by Lady Gregory, “Spreading the News” by Lady Gregory, “Helena’s Husband” (a burlesque on the story of Helen of Troy), and “The Workhouse Ward.” The cast for the production of “Penrod” by Booth Tarkington is working steadily as the time for their stage appearance nears, and a good showing is expected from them. Miss Margaret Booth, a sen ior in the University, is coach. COMMUNICATIONS (Continued from page two) glorious portions of my life and I confess that I must say that the romance and the chivalry had not gone out of warfare at that time. As for being a success as a soldier, I hope I may not appear conceited when I say that I once got a “I” in military, the only “I” to which I have ever fallen heir since at tending the University; and since you know hpw strict the Military department is in grading, you will appreciate how good I really was. Furthermore, in my frosh year, I was a corporal. In my squad were such men as Cordon Wilson, Price Sullivan, Donald Breakey, and other well known luminaries. I I might add that our squad received more attention than any other in the entire regiment—or should I say the army? It’s been so long, you know— Well, in my sophomore year they started admitting the women to the B. O. T. C. and since I wasn’t in terested in the fair sex with wea pons at hand, I dropped into the back ground, and for all of my sec ond year filled the office of No. 4 in the rear rank. I might add, however, that the new officers did very well, and one time the whole platoon got through review without making any mistakes. My whole point, Mr. Powell and j bro. officers, is that I am really qualified to speak on military mat ters, having had all this experience, especially in the B. O. T. C., and hope none of you will make any more bad breaks by questioning my military ability. Yours for treason, Edward M. Miller, Editor of the Emerald NATION’S NEWSPAPERS ANALYZED BY EDITOR Differences between eastern and western journalism were discussed by Frank Jenkins, editor of the Morning Register, at an open meet ing of Sigma Delta Chi, national profession journalism fraternity, at the' Anchorage Tuesday noon. Mr.1 Jenkins noted the more or less defi-! nito division of the field in New York among papers catering to vd- j rious stages of literacy and intelli gence, as contrasted with the west ern papers’ general policy of try ing to reach everybody. Decline of the editorial page from its former position of eminence was charged to several factors, a cer tain deterioration in quality due to publishers’ taking it less serious ly, an unwillingness of a consider able part of the reading public to think at all, and a disposition on the part of many of the others to think for themselves, without guid ance from editorial writers. Mr. Jenkins returned this week from a month’s business trip to the east, during which he visited many states of the east and south. His observation of the newspapers he read closely while away, confirmed him in his belief, he said, that the New York Times is the greatest newspaper in the world. North west newspapers in general, how ever, ho rates higher than those of any other region. Kappa Delta Phi announces the pledging of Wilbert Brattain of Cushman, Oregon.

Putnam. “First the public must be ‘sold’ on the student body activi ties. Second, the principal of the school must be ‘sold.’ Third, the rest of the faculty must be ‘sold.’ Fourth, the student body itself must bo sold and lastly there must be an efficient way of handling Classified Ads LOST—A Schaffer Lifetime foun tain pen with name Henry C.

If you expect public support for any of your activities you must give it ihe best you have.” Dr. Dan E. Clark, secretary of the stato debating league, in a brief address urged the represen tatives of the high schools to carry back to their organizations the plea that debate be recognized and that all schools become members of the league. Debate Encouragement Urged “Debate in the High School” was the subject of an address by Nor man C. Thorne, assistant superin tendent of schools, Portland. “I think debate should be as much of an activity in high school as much as football, basketball or baseball,” he said. “Debato offers the opportunity to ‘break out’ mentally. Debate may be a hobby which will afterwards add to a per son’s life when he gets out into the world. It offers a girl or boy the opportunity to do his best.” Walter Malcolm, president of the Associated Students of the Univer sity of Oregon, gave a short ad dress on “Leadership for all.” “Is it to our advantage to be inter fSiraracmnnmnnrrianranciinramcinrrirafnr ested in school activities?” ho ask ed. “The facts show that it is.” “It gives one a chance to associ ate with other people and it gives one physical, managerial, or busi ness development, depending upon the activity ho is engaged in. The great difficulty, he said, is for the students to find time £or these activities.” Nominating Committees Named Avery Thompson, president of the student body officers asoeia tion, and acting chairman of the meeting, appointed a nominations and a resolutions committeo which will give their reports at the meet ing this morning.

Modern civilization is based on cheap power readily applied to tasks of all kinds. Machinery works: Man thinks* In most long-established industries the General Electric Company ha3 brought about important changesmakingfor better products with minimum human labor arrd expense. And in many new indus tries the G-E engineers have played a prominent part from the very begin ning. A new series of G-E adver tisements showing what electricity is doing in many fields will be sent on request. Ask for Book According to college tests, man develops one-eighth horsepower for short periods and one-twentieth in steady work. As a craftsman—a worker who uses brains—he is well worth his daily wage. But as a common laborer, matching brawn against motor ized power, he is an expensive luxury. With a fifty-horsepower motor, for instance, one man can do the work of 400 common laborers. He is paid far more for his brains than his brawn. The great need of this and future generations is for men who can plan and direct. There is ample motorized machinery for all requirements of pro duction and construction. But motorized machinery, no matter how ingenious, can never plan for itself. And that is precisely where the college man comes in. Highly trained brains are needed more and more to think, plan, and direct tasks for the never-ending application of brawn-saving elec tricity.
