The news of the world con | stantly placed before him will per haps induce him to look deeper in to the subjects in which he is most interested. ” Turnbull Lauds Use Professor George Turnbull is of the opinion that the Emerald is ; facing a real loss. “I think that it j is unfortunate if the press reports | are dropped. It seems to me that if there is any way by which the ser | vice can be retained, it should be. Insufficient use was a cjonriftion that might have been improved. | Surely the finances of the student j body are not in such desperate con dition as to justify this distinctive backward step.” Marian Barnes, senior in art was idignant and stamped her foot when she said, ‘‘I think that it is a shame that they are going to dis continue it because some studemts do not read tho outside newspapers but they always read tho Emerald. I think that the Emerald has al ways tried to select the stories of most universal interest aud with the continuation of this service, they will be able to make the se lection of this news finer.” ‘‘The United Press service in the Emerald is a credit to the person who instigated it,” said Dudley ( lark, senior in economics. There are some persons who do not read | the outside papers at all and there arc a good many who read them very little. I believe that the Em erald performs a service in giving the students a digest of the world’s Vows. I do not think that it would bo more effective to segregate it from campus news.” Likes World News Joe Holaday, senior in history, finds that the hiyk of an interna tional press service will cramp his expansive vision. “I ;iui in favor of the United Press for the Em erald,'’ he said, “and T haven't a relative working for either com pany. As a rule 1, am too busy to read outside newspapers and tlio press reports give mo an inkling of What is going on in the outside world. They also serve to break through the wall of isolation tha% usually surrounds a campus.” “The foreign news should not bfc run iu the Emerald to the exclu sion of campus news but I believe it really enhances the value and in terest of the paper. By no means should it be excluded.’’ Rivalry To Be Keen in Hi School Game Friday Rivalry will be keen at the high school conference game to be played at McArthur Court when University High meets • Eugene High, Friday at 8:15.

If you see someone standing still in the street, looking upward, you bend your neck backward. You want to see too. You want to know what’s going on. That instinct is perhaps the main reason for news papers. So you can know what’s going on. Going on among your neighbors, among the people in the next state, in other lands. You want to know the news. And that’s what advertising is for, too. So you can know what’s going on. So you can know the news about styles in clothing, about theories in foods, about the latest improvements in radio amplifiers or automobile engines or face creams. News! You want to know the news. The advertising in this newspaper is here to tell you • things. It is here to keep you in touch with the things that are going on. Advertisements are interesting. They are useful. They are news.
