Love’s Lubov Lost; Bye Bye Library THE University of Oregon Li brary appropriation bill is dead. Executed, bnt not assassinated by the governor, administration friends irill say. And the matter considered i» itself, ’tis true. For tho Governor, it can be argued, did but that which the Legislature by neglect sentenced. The fault of the Legislature is glaring. By enactment of the bill to provide tho University with a library it officially recognized a ▼ital state need. By failuro to pro vide funds to supply that need it has proved itself insufficient to its admitted duty. In the face of such an unbusiness like procedure it would seem that those who are still disposed uncom promisingly to defend government by hodge-podge representation could have recourse only to such a sen timent as this: The Solons have given; the Solons have taken away. Blessed be the Solons. So much for the Legislature. By avowing himself merely tho ex ecutioner of its failure the Governor will find popular acquittal. However, thero will bo some who will not be mollified so easily. Inter pellations are still in order. Point ing to tho unrelioved depletion of the public purse the Governor vetoed both the University library bill and tho appropriation for the Ashland Normal School’s proposed dormitory. At tho samo time he approved an appropriation for tho establishment of a now normal school at La Grande. This last mentioned project was of course ordered b.v the voters at the polls, and upon that injunction tho Governor acted. This will be the formal explanation. Thus is justified the ways of Governors to men. So for the time being at least the work of higher education in Oregon must he scamped. Nevertheless we ask, what kind of wisdom is it that instead of striving to maintain in tolerable being its existing institu tions merely multiplies thcfir im perfections f In the meantime, while we may ponder the problem, we in Oregon will have five starving state institu tions of higher learning instead of the present four.-—13. J. Problem of the Forgotten Man (Michigan Daily) ONE of the unfortunate features of the present University edu cational machinery is tho fact that while there arc a dozen committees and officials to stimulate the medi ocre student to effort or to decide whether or not lie shall remain in tho ivied halls of learning, there is no orgatiized effort, with a few ex ceptions, to aid, encourage, and ad vise the superior student. There is no effort made, other than that by officials individually, to guide tho academic career of tho man whose work shows that he is clearly above the average. He is the man the Uni versity has forgotten. Any encouragement given excep tional scholastic achievement is mostly rendered by outside organ izations such as Phi Beta Kappa and others. The Honors convoca tion does its valued work in at tempting to reward the better stu dents but succeeds only partially. Numerous prizes, fellowships, and awards go each year to outstanding students in different fields, but these are all too few. Numorous honorary organizations placo emphasis on good work but that is about as far as it goesu^Practically all organized efforts toward stimulating and re warding high scholarship lie outside the University proper. Our trite and truo point is this: there is neither adequate organized University action to stimulate super ior students to improved efforts, nor what is moro important, to guide the work of those students in the most beneficial and productive chan nels. No comprehensive organized effort has been made as yet to im prove the situation. Why could not a committee of faculty bo appointed to study the problem and perhaps function as an experimental body for the advising of the superior stu dents, nnd to whom thoso more cap able could go for aid, consultation, guidance in their college careers? Perhaps this might show the way to the solution of the pressing prob lem of the forgotten man. , Commun ications For the Council To the Editor: It seems quite apparent that there is at least one of the 3,500 students that begrudges the Executive Coun cil the small compensation that it receives from the continual work it does. I wonder if this person knows that there are only five students on this council—the others are business men and faculty members that are devoting their time to the A. S. IT. D. with no other thought than ser vice to the University and the stu dents. Perhaps the correspondent would like to spend hours that other wise could be recreation hours, in managing the affairs of the Student Body. Tickets are indeed small things compared to the work the council does and the small thanks it gets for this work. It is a pity that this person is not acquainted with any member of the Executive Council that might enable him (or her )to got into the game. If indeed he would take the tronble to make the acquaintance of one of us I’m sure we would be glad to share all of our tickets with him—all two of them.

Read, who was one of the principal speakers on yester day’s program, arrived at the con ference just ten minutes before his speech was slated to begin. Almost out of breath, he explained that he had not even had time to ascertain what town he was in. O. 0. Loiter, managing editor 1 of the Portland Telegram, is on the campus for the Editors’ Conference. In 1922, Mr, Loiter was elected an honorary member of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalis tic fraternity. K. P. Hopwood, circulation man ager of the Oregonian, came down to the conference to get and give a few pointers on building cir culation. Since he became manager about 18 years ago the circulation of the Oregonian has trebled. Since he sold papers on the street when he was a boy, he has been actively connected with journalism. He has worked at different times with the Cleveland Lender, papers in St. Paul and Minneapolis and has always been connected with the circulation departments. According to Mr. Hopwood, it takes 160 tons of paper to print the ' Sunday sections of the Oregonian.

TODAY’S SIMILIE As modest as Mussolini. Rufus Blabmore, delegate at the Newspaper Conference,., who last evening at a banquet in the Osbum hotel, was the unanimous choice for “Most Worthless Editor in Oregon.” As a symbol of his utter worthless ness, Mr. Blabmore was presented with a jeweled cigar lighter, a gift of the Oregon Daily Emerald. The only worthwhile contribution made yesterday by Mr. Blabmore was the formula for a chemical preparation to be applied to stoves in country stores to prevent the splashing of tobacco juice. Mr. Blabmore thought such protection was highly desirablo for the country editor listening in on a round-stove country store dis cussion. Dignified editors, however, were quick to pronounce Rufus very worthless.

This film is based upon the recent world war but without actual combat scenes. It is a riotous yarn about three Amer ican doughboys, who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in Germany immediately after the armistice has been signed, and in command of a village. This strange trio is composed of a rich man’s son, a former gangster, and a roly poly German-American boy.

Reports (Continued from pape one) Foreign Advertising from the Home Office and Otherwise.” “The 'big city papers aren’t ad equate to cover the small town. Snappy, well-handled stories in crease reading interest and the im pressiveness of advertising,” Mr. Arant said. Know Merchants, Advised The newspaper man should keep a check on how well his newspaper is read and by conferences with local dealers, should determine the effectiveness of his advertising, the speaker continued. The .'advertis ing specialist should be acquainted with the paper he is representing, study his trade area, and be ac quainted with both retail and whole sale merchants. The liighwater mark of foreign advertising was reached in 1926, ac cording to Mr. Arant. Don Skene Talks “Foreign correspondents are the newspaper’s eyes in Europe and they are efficient, fair ancf'ffarlcss.” said Don Skene, dramatic critic of the Oregonian and former foreign cor respondent for the Chicago Tribune, when he discussed foreign correspon dence at the afternoon meeting of the association. Mussolini Censors “Latin countries do not under stand the American correspondent and his ways,” Mr. Skene said. “They have a sense of the dramatic that lets them think he is in the employ of some great power and are consequently very careful to censor all his.stories.” In Borne, the copy is sent first to the foreign office, which usually re ports on it the next day. Mussolini’s latest system of censorship, which works quite effectively, in Mr. Skene’s opinion, is to hold news paper copy until past the deadline for the paper. Then the story is of no value. Skene on World Flight An important problem of the for eign correspondent, other than cen sorship, is that of wireless facili ties. Mr. Skene was one of six re porters assigned to cover the world flight. Each reporter was limited to 20 words to describe really big stories and at the arrival of the party at Laborador these six men and 25 additional were allowed 1200 words among all of them to report the event. In the Arctic regions, the reporters found great difficulty in getting even their 20 words out Alpha Delta Sigma members meet at the Journalism “shack” at 11 a. m. Important. Seven Seers meeting Sunday af ternoon at Euth Corey’s, 1331 Em erald, from 4 to 6. Greater Oregon committee meeting at 4 p. m. in Villard hall today. Members of directorate committee must be present. because the wn-eless apparatus was often out of commission. Skene Best Writer When Mr. Skene had ended his talk, H. E. Thomas, city editor of the Oregonian, added to the Labra dor story related by Mr. Skene. When the six reporters with 25 others were allowed only 1200 words to describe the event of landing in Labrador, the necessity for conser vation of words, and swift, graphic writing was evident. They selected the reporter whom they felt most capable, said Mr. Thomas, and this man was Don Skene. * * * Crime Is Subject Professor Sam Bass Warner of the law school faculty spoke on “The Newspaper and Crime.” There seems to be no definite connection between the increase of publicity of crime stories and the increase in crime, the speaker said. Readers of crime news are usually past the age in which they are easily influenced toward a criminal career. Horace Thomas of the Oregonian and Marshall Dana, associate edi tor of the Journal, both added to what Mr. Warner had said, agreeing that crime news should be regulated but not suppressed. Wood Amuses Clark Wood, editor of the Wes ton Leader, who is known through out the country for his witty para graphs, told the editors that writ ing them was no easy undertak ing. Each pithy remark requires study, he declared. His aaqtess kept the editors in a continuous up roar during the time he held the floor. • • • Resolution Passed The Congress of the United States will be urged to take up at its December session the subject of re adjusting second class postal rates to conform to tbe schedule prevail ing in 1920, according to a resolu tion adopted by the Trade and ClasB Journalism section of the confer ence, which met separately yester day afternoon. Publishers are concerned in these reductions, the resolution points out, because existing maximum rates imposed under war conditions con stitute the only emergency tax which has not been redueed.

And the lamps sputtered a friendly glow into the darkness. The citizens of the country have taken Leerie’s job. They are the lamplighters of today. They pay 3 >2 cents of each tax dollar for street lights. Leerie, the faithful, has gone— but streets still need lighting. And in whatever communities college men and women elect to live, they should take a lively interest in civic improvements—including street lighting. “For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door, And Leerie stops to light it as he lights so many more.” ‘‘The Lamplighter” Robert Louis Stevenson.
