Reader Survey Shows
Emerald Is Excellent
Advertising Medium
* Report Shows 91 Per
Cent of Students Are
Daily Readers; Sales
Appeal to the Women
Purchasing Power Is High
Among the Students, Is
Opinion of Statistician
Thai the Oregon Daily Emerald
is an excellent medium for adver
tisers, was the conclusion drawn
by Edwin Pubols of Portland,
freshman in business administra
tion, as the result of his recently
completed survey of the readers’
interests in the Emerald.
“When it is seen that 91 per
y cent of all students read the Em
erald every day,” Pubols said, “the
tremendous amount of reader in
terest generated by the student
daily is vividly shown. Herein is
a point by which the Emerald’s
advertisers might be readily con
vinced of the drawing power of
space in the Emerald.”
Advertising Is Read
Over 60 per cent of the readers
claim that they are thorough, as
well as regular readers of the
paper. This, Pubols declared, “is
certainly the best assurance an
advertiser can have that his space
is getting across.”
All but 4 per cent of the read
ers stated that they read the ad
vertisements, frequently or occa
sionally, if not regularly. Pubols
believes that the negligent 4 per
cent are those who do their buying
outside of Eugene.
More than three-fourths ex
pressed a preference for the Port
y land paper which holds greater in
terest in the liigher-incomed class
in that city. This, according to:
Pubols, indicates that Oregon stu- i
dents have a purchasing power
higher than the average, and.
therefore represent a lucrative
field for advertisers to operate in.
Bargains Influence Women
Three-fifths of the readers also
declared that they make purchases
on the basis of advertisements in
the Emerald; about half of the
women said that bargain sales in
fluence their buying.
That Eugene advertisers have
already achieved results through
the Emerald, Pubols said, is shown
in the fact that more than half
the student buyers consider prices
and selections as reasonable and
good in Eugene as in their home
towns.
Finally, Pubols avers, the stu
dents have expressed a confidence
and approval of their paper which
should assure the advertisers that
the Emerald will make their pat
\ ronage successful. This approval
was shown by the opinions of 75
per cent of the readers that the
editorial policy of the paper was
independent and interesting, that
the form and typography was
good, and that it had shown im
provement lather than deteriora
tion during the time that they
had been reading it.
Results Valuable
The survey was carried out by
means of questionnaires, which
were distributed in approximately
equal proportions among mSn and
women of all classes, and of both
dormitories and fraternities and
sororities. An actual test taken
from the first hundred of the 439

Sigma Delta Chi
To Publish Next
Scandal Sheet
Publications Committee
Stipulate Conditions
To Be Observed
Prof. George Turnbull To
Censor Edition
At a meeting of the publications
committee yesterday, it was de
cided that Sigma Delta Chi should
be permitted to publish the Green
Goose under the following condi
tions :
1. All stories turned in and any
stories printed must carry the au
thor’s signature. Ail stories must
receive the approval of Professor
Turnbull.
The committee authorized the
authority of Mr. Turnbull to cut
out any part he may see fit and
should anything be printed in the
paper without his knowledge and
approval, he has the right to stop
the run and circulation of the pa
per.
2. That there be no scandalous,
libelous or obscene matter con
tained in the paper.
3. The committee suggests that
Sigma Delta Chi publish the paper
with the highest possible journal
istic endeavor to cover the cam
pus and suggests the possibility of
using considerable lemon punch
humor.
4. The mast head is to carry the
names of the contributors. The
paper shall be the Sigma Delta
Chi Green Goose edition and shall
have no reference to the Oregon
Daily Emerald. The soliciting of
advertising must be very carefully
done so as not to convey the idea
that this is a part of the regular
edition of the Emerald.
It was decided, after a general
discussion of candidates, to meet
again on Thursday, April 24, and
devote the meeting to interview
ing .candidates for the Oregana
manager and editor. There was a
general discussion of policies tc
be followed in selection of candi
dates.
Club For Getting Studes Out
For 8 o’Clocks Big Success
In springtime a young man’s
fancy turns to thoughts of love
. . . and sleep. »
Winter term it’s pretty tough
to get up in the cold mornings
because fraternity men hate the
cold. Comes spring and they still
hate to get up, but this time be
cause of lethargy and spring fever
rather than the cold. But still
there are 8 o'clock classes.
Realizing the necessity of at
least occasional attendance, some
of the organization-minded mem
bers of Sigma Pi Tau have formed
an “Aurora Borealis’’ club. Un
like a burying club which puts
’em away, the group pledged it
self to get ’em up by 7:20 sl. m
\ each morning.
Should laziness seize any of th<
' members, the constitution of thi
I club duly authorizes other mem
i bers to extricate the somnolen
! one either by forceful methods
uncovering, or by the old standb;
| method, water. Already severa
have incurred the latter treat
ment, fellow Borealites being ex
tremely co-operative in seeing tha
the 7:20 deadline is observed,
i John Butler and Bill Donaldsor
both hailing from the tidelands o
Marshfield, are the charter mem
bers and are experts on the wate
1 method of making 8 o'clocks.

Fifty-two Years Service
By DAVID WILSON
Eight men and four women were nominated as candidates for the
six student body offices to be filled for next year at the nominating
assembly held at Gerlinger hall yesterday morning.
There will be no three-cornered races in this year’s election. The
two opposing tickets are the only organizations to place Candidates
in the field, and no candidate can be elected unless he gets a majority
vote.
Perhaps the less said about the nominating speeches the better.

Attend Conferences
Mrs. Hazel Schwering, assistant
dean of women, and Margaret
Cummings, president of the Asso
ciated Women Students, returned
to the campus this week from
Laramie, Wyoming, where they
attended the western section of
the Deans of Women's conference
and the Associated Women Stu
dents’ conference, which held joint
sessions April 16, 17, and 18.
Mrs. Schwering addressed the
conference Friday on “Forming
Friendships Thr ough Hobby
Groups,” explaining the work of
Philomelete on the Oregon cam
pus. Miss Cummings spoke to the
A. W. S. delegates on "The Prob
lems of the Town Girl.” About
85 representatives from 11 west
ern states were in attendance, ac
cording to Mrs. Schwering.
On her way back to Eugene,
Mrs. Schwering stopped over
Tuesday at Klamath Falls high
school, in order to speak before
the Girls’ League and to hold in
dividual conferences with the stu
dents. Saturday the two Oregon
delegates visited the University of
Utah in Salt Lake City.
In 1854, records show, a stu
dent at the University of Wiscon
sin could receive a complete year's
education for a sum less than we
pay every term. His year at col

His resolution was accepted by a

Violinist Carries Audience
Through World of Melodics
With bow poised above strings
vibrating with melodies of Nachez
and Kreisler, Miss Juanita Oskins,
violinist, held her large audience
in a spell last night at a recital
held in the music auditorium. She
was assisted by Miss Alice Holm
bach, pianist.
As a student of Rex Underwood,
noted violinist and professor of
music, Miss Oskins is one of the
winners of the Juliard scholarship.
Her recital last night disclosed
outstanding abilities and remark
able talent. Her brisk stroke, her
pleasing personality, and ability to
carry herself with her own music
compelled the audience to realize
that a true violinist was before
them.
Perhaps the most highly appre
ciated numbers of the evening
were Nachez’s “Gypsy Dance” and
Wieniawski’s “Polonaise Brilliante
No. 2.” As a final number, “Gypsy
Dance” seemed to call for more
and left the listeners with the
feeling that one could listen to the
entire program repeated.
As her first number was Nar
dini’s “Sonata—D Major,” display
ing first the adagio or slow move
ment, only to be followed with
