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.

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

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.

GIRL SCOUT LEADER FINDS
CHARGE LEFT AT DOORSTEP
“Mi deer mis bernice Razor:
Wil you plese tak cair of mi
child as i am unable to do so i liav
hured you were good and kind so i
no you wil tak good cair off her i
want her to be a Gal scout so plese
tak her to the raeetin.—Her name is
pansy, and oblig an lovin ma.
p. s. i am doin this fer her own
good.”
This note was left on the door
step of Miss Bernieee Rasor, sopho
more in sociology, with a basket
containing a baby doll well wrap
ped in a gorgette evening gown to
withstand the chill of the Friday
evening air.
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.
