! OREGON'S TOTH OF PAPERS 248 _. | No Increase in Publications This Year in Oregon FIVE MERGERS IN 1925 Weekly Papers Total 168; Semi-Weekly 8 One hundred forty Oregon towns have one or more publications. The state has 248 publications, exclusive of school papers. There are 168 weeklies, and 32 dailies. Seven new newspapers were started during 1925, and 11 discon tinued. Seven publications changed names during the year. The year saw one daily and four weekly consolidations. These are a few of the interest ing facts to be gleaned from sta tistics compiled from the 1925 Ore gon Newspaper Directory, Oregon Exchanges ’ annual effort, soon to be off the press for distribution. A complete and authentic list of all the state’s publications, pub lishing day, together with the names of publishers, members of news, advertising and business staffs, and composing room em ployees, is presented in the direc tory. That Oregon journalism is at a standstill so far as the number of newspapers is concerned is shown in a comparison of the total publica tions listed, 248, with the 251 listed a year ago and the 253 in the 1923 directory. Consolidations, of course, have played a part in the decrease, but with these considered there has been a slight drop in the total. No Change in Dailies Of the 11 papers discontinued, nine were outside of Portland and two were Portland papers. All were weeklies. There was no change in the number of dailies, save for the single consolidation. The seven new papers started were all week lies, outside of Portland. The metropolis, however, is the place of publication of seven of the state’s 32 daily newspapers. The other 25 are scattered over the state. It is also the home of 25 monthly publications, while four are published at Salem and one at LaGrande. Weekly papers total 168. Thirty five of these, all unconnected with daily papers, are published in Port land. One hundred twenty-five weeklies are published outside of Portland and are not connected with dailies. Eight daily news papers, also outside the metropolis, publish weeklies in connection with the daily issue. One Monthly Newspaper There are eight semi-weeklies, five unconnected with dailies and three connected. There are four semi-monthly publications, three of them in Portland, and two quarterly periodicals are mailed from Port land. One publication, the Four-L S Lumber News, comes out three times monthly. Most of the material for the ,3' rectory was collected h'" gon Exchanges - " annim1 .^ooi of JAPANESE NETSTERS BEAT PORTLAND FIVE U-Gene-Kai, Campus Club, Victors, 31-27 Five basketeers representing the TJ-Gene-Kai club, campus Japanese organization, journeyed to Portland last week end and returned with a victory over the Portland Japanese Athletic club of that city, 31 to 27, in a hard, close contest. The score was knotted, 13 all, at half time. A return game will be played here some time next month. There is also a possibility that an all-star j team, picked from the two aggre-1 gations, will play a series with Seattle Japanese quintets in the Sound City during the spring vaca tion.

Kayama NORMAN HACKETT, PROMINENT ACTOR, VISITS OREGON CAMPUS Player Says the Little Theatre Movement Is Taking the ^lace of Stock Companies j Moving pictures are the five and jten cent store of the drama in the j opinion of Norman Hackett, actor, University graduate and fraternity | man, who left Eugene this morning Jon his way to New York. They and ; the radio have been the cause of the decline in the travelling stock com pany, he said, and to fill the need experienced in this decline, com munities have organized Little The atres. The Little Theatre movement which is taking the place of the fast disappearing stock companies, Mr. Hackett explained, has spread rapidly over the United States dur ing the last few years. The actors are for the most part amateurs, but the director is usually a profes sional. Mr. Hackett expressed surprised satisfaction in the University of Oregon dramatic equipment. He spent several hours yesterday af ternoon with Miss Florence Wilbur, instructor in dramatics, discussing University drama and equipment, and declared that he was more than pleased with the interest taken here in college dramatics. “The three big community forces are the church, the School, and the theatre,” said Mr. Hackett, expli cating his words with hands and eyes. “The theatre is necessary to people as an outlet for their emo tions and feelings. It is an educa tional and cultural force without which the community grows up one sided. It’s unusual economic value is shown in the statistics for. New York City last year when, out of $100,000,000 spent on the theatre in that city, more than $40,000,000 was spent by people coming to New York to study art and drama. “Universities are far behind the time in developing dramatics,” de clared Mr. Hackett. “I believe that since expression and personality are such big factors in life, every stu dent shonld be required to take a course in dramatics, voice, and ora tory. I firmly believe in this be cause, as one of the founders of the University 'of Michigan Comedy' Club, which is still popular and thriving, I can see what develop-1 ments have taken place in people. Most Americans realize that we J must cultivate better American dra matists, and where is thfere a bet ter place than in the University? “The last time I was here,” said! Mr. Hackett, in expressing his sur- j prise at the rapid growth of this j institution, “was seven years ago i when I played Eugene in “Tea for! Two.” At that time there were but three or four gray buildings on the campus.” Mr. Hackett declared his visit | more delightful by his pleasure at! meeting his old friend, Capt. J. J. i McEwan, a fraternity brother, j whom he had not seen for several years. They had dinner together last night at the Psi Kappa house. They are members of Theta Delta Chi, and Mr. Hackett has for sev eral years been president of the Theta Delta Chi club, a five-story building in New York City, for the convenience of visiting brothers and their friends and families. Prior to coming to Eugene, Mr. Hackett finished a short engage ment in Seattle in “Thank You.” Before that he played 33 weeks in “Best People” in San Francisco, a record run that few plays have ever equalled. Mr. Hackett played Shakespearean parts for 12 years, part of the time with Robert Man tell, before going to New York as a comedy actor. CLUB VOTE TO FORM Committee Reports Desire For Organization It was decided at a meeting of unaffiliated girls last evening at the Bungalow that a large organiza tion will be formed in the near fu ture. All women not living in groups ar§ eligible to membership in this proposed club. The purpose of the organization is chiefly to promote friendships among the girls and to furnish a means whereby they can take a more active part in campus activities. The meeting was conducted by Rachel Storer and Wilma Lester, members of a committee which has been studying the situation for some time. They reported that they had interviewed a number of girls and found that they wanted an organization of some kind. Sev eral suggestions for different types of clubs were made but nothing def inite was decided except that an organization will be formed. A nominating committee of five girls was appointed to select can didates for officers for the club. Tlm-e appointed were: BerfnSece Susie Shepherd, Wilma Les ce Morris, and Frances Hon jjean Virginia Judy /Eagerly ated that she is much interested the proposed organization, and ggested that it be open to all rls who wish to belong. The next meeting to discuss plans ill probably be Tuesday at 4:15. SILK MANUFACTURERS ARRANGE FOR PICTURE , A motion picture, showing the manufacture of silk is arranged for Thursday afternoon at 4:30 in room 110, Johnson hall. The film will show in detail every step in the production of the raw silk, through the manufacturing stage, to the consumer. The educational work of this picture will be of value to stu dents, especially to those of the business administration department, •states Gordon Wilson, representa tive of the Beal Silk Hosiery com P The main purpose of the picture is to enlist more students desiring remunerative employment during the coming summer. Mr. Wilson, who is now collegiate supervisor of the college organiza tions of Idaho, Washington and Oregon, started this work at Oregon last year, and upon gradua- j tion from the University, last spring, i was promoted to his present posi-, tion. ' Men and women alike are espe daily urged to attend this film dem onstration of the production and trianufacture of silk.

The “lovin ma” was some little girls belonging to Miss Rasor’s girl scout troup, who were afraid she would neglect to bring her doll to the meeting the next day, as they had all planned to do. “The girls do many clever things but this caps the climax,” said Miss Rasor. “They kept the secret pret ty well, I did not know until I spoke of it at the meeting did one little girl nudge another and say, I did it, I did it.” “Then they told what an excit ing time they had had getting it on the porch without being seen, and how frightened they were when the window blind went down and they were sure I had been peeking. Then on their way back they heard a car and thinking it was mine, ran clear around the block the other way.” The troop consists of 32 girls from 10 to 13 years of age. At present they are taking lessons in first aid. its list since January 1, 1926. At the first of the year the newspaper librarian wrote to 60 state papers in regard to exchange copies.
