Niylit Editors—Jo Barry John Dodds CAMPUS \ 'V FORUM Back Again Thodb who rend my letter in this column in the jSmorakl of Saturday -will reiliensber that it was followed by a reply from our editor. The reader will remember that, editor ials have been discontinued be cause there is a tendency for thu editor to dictate public opinion mil also because our editor wishes to stimulate the unguided critical thought of the renders. In my let ter I intimated that all this is only dramatic bluff in defense of an easiest way to “get by” as editors. To this the editor offered no nr guinont and did not attempt, to ans wer any of my arguments but rather resorted to the old illogical and, t.imc-'woim method of “ beg ging thu question.” We attempted to explain all by saying that the writer, was not sufficiently familiar "with journalistic problems to eriti cm*. Perhaps .the editor would be more willing to accept criticisms of the Morning Oregonian. I quote its edi torial of Saturday, February tl.'l, as follows: "The thought obtrudes that the c.(liters wlio have many distractions from* journalistic, work, including their duties, may just be taking (lie easiest, way.” 1 note that earlier in the year edi . « o torials were followed by the in it L;i Is of q1 11e associate editors of editors who wrote them. The fact that in itials of associate* editors appeared °so often indicates the great number of editorials which they wrote. A new policy was then adopted where by identity of the writers was not made public. No initials offered. Now whether those who had pre viously contributed editorials were unwilling to write without credit we con only speculate. However, the Eniorald now “Defies Conven tions; No More Editorials.” The writer is firmly convinced that editorials are essential to a good student paper and their ab sence will lower the journalistic standing of the Emerald. This new policy has already provoked unfav orable comment from many of the leading papers of the state. Hays the Morning Oregonian: “It is hardly likely that the Emerald’s policy will prove popular with the readers. A student newspaper is the voice of undergraduate opinion as well as a chronicle of school news. Publication of contributed letters hardly meets the situation.” CLAUDE L. HALL. Note: Wo did not devote space in the columns of the Emerald to answer Mr. Hull’s first letter in full, since so doing would have con stituted a breach of the Emerald’s present policy of substitution of letters for editorials. We are glad that the writer is so keenly inter ested in Hie situation, and if he 1 will call at the Emerald office we sl.all bo glad to go over tire ‘question with him. This applies also to any one else an the campus who is suf ficiently interested. In connection with the present communication, may we ask two questions: “Wouldn’t it be more than passing strange if these writers who make their living con cocting editorials should favor tire stand of the Emerald in abolishing the thing from which they derive their bread 'and butter?” Amt: “What better ‘Voice of undergradu ate opinion’ could there be than the written opinion of the under graduates themselves?”—Editor. Also More Emeralds Why don’t they deliver more copies of your estimable paper to the sororities and fraternities? Every morning when I get up and get downstairs a few minutes be hind the vanguard there arc none left to read. I do not think that I am alone in this complaint as I have heard many other persons saying that their house did not re ceive enough Emeralds to go around. Everyone pays for and is entitled to one so the matter should be looked into. 8. A. Nicotine Bench Sought What this school needs worse than a new infirmary, worse titan a new library, and worse than a single board'of regents is a “nicotine bench” between Oregon and Com merce balls along the curb so that the lawyers and their associates may have some place to sit and talk about briefs and eases and take those very necessary puffs orf of clgardts. It would be a nice thing for some class that lias enough mqjicy to onflow such a"sent?of learning and dedicate it to themselves. A. L. 8. ’ Publicity In glancing over a couple of out of town newspapers I noticed com ment in them concerning the Emer old’s no-editorial stand. Not being ail authority I would hesitate to pass judgment upon the merits of the plan, hut at least if it has no other favorable aspects it lias re sulted in bringing wide attention to the Emerald and in giving Oregon’s student paper a good deal of pub licity. 0. B. 13. Another Pica for a Hall Concerning the recent plea in the Emerald for a suitable hall for stu dent dances, let me cast another vote in favor of “doing something” and doing it in a hurry. The prob lem of decorating the Igloo makes dances there almost prohibitive, and the floor at tlie Woman’s building makes dances impossible, N. 13. S. Politics, What? This morning’s Emerald (Feb. t?7) contains a communication signed by I the managing editor of that august journal correcting a statement ap pearing in the paper yesterday (Feb. “(!). The Emerald said yes terday that the managing editor had announced his candidacy for editor; the managing editor in his communication said that lie iiad not. o Mmt Am m.mtm ■ yCiti^SE'lF * / N \ ONE SOUL WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT* TO PAUSE AND REFRESH HIMSELF LAND NOT EVEN A pGLANCE FROM THE 5TAG LINE V OVE* 8 Enough’s enough and too '“'"'much is not necessary.

I always thought that he looked over and passed upon the news appearing in the Kmerald. If he was on the job why didn’t he see the st6ry before it was printed? Perhaps he did and saw a rhancc to get seine publicity, intending to anftounce his candidacy later. Perhaps the political pot lias hoguti to boil again. What? M. Ii.

The Hudson’s Bay people trapped a good many beavers in the company offices, where the skilful financing and careful business man agement served to back up the men actually on the front lines. Organized activity suc ceeded then just as it does today. The men who put up telephone lines can work the better because back of them are other men who pains takingly design and make their equipment, and still other men who correlate all these activities into a smoothly meshing plan.
