Night Editor This Issue .Clarence Craw Assistant Night Editor .Rufus Kimball Helen Rankin Juck Ballanger Warner Guiss A Statement of Our Policies E «*ontiimo !i long-standing custom established years ago by Emerald editors, by a statement, at this time, of our general editorial program. We are wary, however, of any whistling down the wind, a practice generally surrounding such a delicate matter as editorial policy. The Emerald lias matched expansion within the university with some within its own scope. Yearly additions have been added and changes made. This year tin1 daily comes out in a new type dress and an additional column because tin* need for advancement and increase in size became felt. Greater efficiency in news-gathering, additional features and the new typographical layout will mark the present volume. The Emerald will carry on the work of the la^t year in bringing particular attention to news and problems of general campus moment. Hut it is in the field of internal university issues that the Emerald will move particularly. The very in crease in size of the university makes it imperative that they set their house of activities in order and keep apace with Ibis growth. The Emerald will construct whenever possible, tearing down only when opportunities for newer and better construc tions are present. It is being printed to be read. So it wil contain reading for tin* every class—-thinkers, those who wish entertainment only, information seekers. It will publicize with moderation, seeking rather by such publicity to build. We wish to emphasize the generations old and hard-won position that the Emerald occupies on the campus. Always conversant with student problems, always willing to campaign in the cause of the university, always eager to improve its col trains in any way, the Emerald embarks on another school yeat wi*h the wish that it have the whole-hearted backing of the associated students and university administration, while evalu ating justly whatever policies .it^may .tylvyrute. For Freshman Readers Only 'E'RESHMEN nre ever being: confronted, wit!, -advice. Their ■* entrance into collegiate halls is to them a big poiht in tlieii lives and no one is more eager to learn of their college than All is strange and they look to their upper-class acquaint ances for advice. It is as such that we speak tot he class ol 1933. ' . '.'i'. _ ; The leap from secondary to higher education is sometimes wider than the newcomers anticipate aitd in the first few month; of their college courses many flounder about, trying to adjust their lives to new standards of study and activity. Yet, if tin freshman will hear in mind the necessity of a serious approach to many of his collegiate obligations, while being well able tc relax and play when the time comes, his problems will appeal fur simpler. Tin* university provide* both studies and activities for the students. The freshman lias both for the asking. It is up to him to know when lie has had his fill of one or the other and not overeat of their benefits. Either can hi* carried too far. He can make college a gorge of the staple foods of study 01 else lnalnourish himself with tin* desserts ol activities. If he mixes conscientiousness with relaxation in the right proper tions lie will succeed. Looking to Roget’s for authority, we find that the incom ing freshman class may he the “best" after all. “Best," says the savant, means “perfect." “Perfect," we find, may be taken to mean “uninjured." Ergo, the frosh are "best' until next Saturday. • * * * # Registration did not seem quite such a maze this year as it did when we were freshmen.

Tbe Collegiate Pulse ’ [<n.————"—“—•— WRITING HOME t’NTRANCE into the University is a big event, in the life of any freshman but in most cases the event is one of no less impor- | tance to folks at home. Parents ' are as apt to get homesick as their children who are away from home for the first time. At any j rate they are intensely interested in what their freshman offspring i __...£ are doing and how they are far ing in their new environment. Many of them will be down often for visits. Others will not be able to do so. But whether near or far, par ents should not be left out of the University activities. No news is bad news for parents with chil dren away from home. Daily Kansan.

For the benefit of those who know nothing about printing or its allied arts, a "point" is a unit by which type is measured. It. is equivalent to 1-72 inch. Hence 8-point type is approximately 1-9 inch high. The Emerald, however, sets its 8-point material on 10 - point linotype slugs, which means that a line is actually 10 points high. The extra two points results in a greater spacing between lines, thereby making the paper easier to read The new type differs from the old chiefly in that it has a blacker face; in other words, the lines of the letters are heavier and stand out better against rue white page The Emerald mui iis beginning in the Oregon > Weekly, a four column, four-page campus weekly 1 which was first published here in 1900. This paper resembled a magazine more than a newspaper, with some of the front-page sto ries occupying several columns and headlines which deserved the name of titles. A big advance was made in 1909, when the weekly became a semi-weekly and changed its name to tire Oregon Emerald. It might be said here that the name “Emerald" came from one of Joaquin Miller's poems, in which he referred to Oregon as tht “em erald state." The new paper was issued on Wednesday and Satur day. It was far less amateurish in appearance than its predecessor. The page was made the same length as that used by the Emerald Iasi year, and another column was added. The headlines were also improved, and new features were added, such as editorials, a communications column, a calen dar of university events, and a ■ampus bulletin. In 1912 a journalism course was started on the campus, and with it came a tri-weekly Emerald, is sued on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Another column was idded, making a total of six. The year 1920 saw a still great er advance in the progress of the Emerald, for it was in this year that it became a daily, is sued every day except Sunday and i Monday. An entirely new idea j was introduced in 1922. when a ■ Sunday edition was added to the ; paper, which now had seven eol I limns. This edition was the only one of its kind in the country. It contained little news, but a great ileal of features, essays, poetry and humor. The Sunday edition was discon tinued after 1924. and the paper was published as at present, five days a week. In 1928 two more forward steps were made with the installation of United Press Serv ice and a new Goss Comet Web j press, capable of printing 3,300 six- or eight-page papers per hour.
