To the members of the Oregon Daily Emerald staff it is a joy because before them they see a year of progress, a year filled with pleasant activity. Serving the campus in a most essential way, they will strive to make the daily publica tion a near perfect disseminator of student news. Dealing with such a delicate sub ject as the policies of the pub lication, we might say that no bold and radical reforms will be shouted in the public ear. Changes for improvement will be advo cated when the time for such is ripe. Support will be tendered when a movement sponsored by the A. S. U. O. or any campus organization is deemed worthy and justifiable. The mechanics of the University have not been in action sufficiently long to disclose the 1930-31 weaknesses; however, irregularities of the past may be brought to light. IL is the aim of the Emerald never to destroy without constructive suggestion. The Emerald is behind Oregon. It believes her officials are the ablest, and, with the dawn of a new era in athletics, looks forward to one of the biggest and most suc cessful years in Oregon history. The Emerald is as a tool in the hands of a carpenter- sold each year to a new woodworker. What the publication does depends upon the carpenter who is using it. With this the Emerald falls into the footsteps of last year’s editor, who, we believe, guided the student daily through one of its most successful volumes. Little alteration in the general makeup of the paper is anticipated. This as the first issue marks the introduction of a few new type faces, a feature where every newspaper may find improvement, and an atti tude of close co-operution with students and faculty of the Univer sity of Oregon. i Freshman’s Telescope AN unfocused telescope peering far into the future has been be fore the eyes of every freshman. So out of focus is this tele scope that he cannot tell what is ahead of him. First it appears a huge mass of moving machinery, then again it is like an angry whirlpool. Presently the instrument will become adjusted. Definite outlines will emerge from obscurity, masses will merge to form a goal. Looking as he does into the future he sees four years of Uni versity life filled with a mixture of work and play. Just the correct ratio between the two he does not see. His upperclassmen are his advisors and from them he will seek advice. It is as an upperclass man that the Oregon Daily Emerald offers its bit to guide the first year student to a successful start. 1. Choose conscientiously a division between studies and activi ties. The ratio will vary according to the student, so watch your self and use common sense. An overbalanced schedule may lead to an unsuccessful University career. 2. Do not neglect your regular work. Fundamentally that is why one comes to school, that is why authorities are employed, and that is why the institution was organized. 3. Do not neglect your activities. It is through them that acquaintances are made. It is through them that you learn to be a leader. Mingle among the students and, above all things, make friends, 4. Maintain a high moral standard. Through this will come a satisfied conscience. Strength of students today will make it less difficult for posterity. Forget the collegiate rah rah and become real men and women. . . x The Modern Fraternity A BIT of disappointment, perhaps, when the new pledge returns from his first 11 o’clock, finds the members busily engaged in conversation, dressed neatly and waiting quietly for the lunch bell. He fails to find that super-collegiate environment of tangled legs ami sprawling bodies strewn over the davenport near gapping trays of half smoked cigarette butts. Perhaps the newcomer has never been a faithful reader of magazines depicting college life, perhaps he has never heard advice about how to resist fraternity temptations. He is one out of a thousand. Yet when he comes to school on the Oregon campus it is differ ent. There is no extravagant swaggering attitude of life in a social organization. Things seem to be meant for business, seem to stand for the higher ideals throughout a University career. Fraternities are so organized to obtain the greatest efficiency from a selected group of men or women. Now is not the moment to discuss the time one should enter a fraternity. We are merely pointing to the logic in the social organi zation as a whole. Its sincerity and power to prepare one for a better life cannot be debated when the fictitious, or better to say anti quated, collegiate ballyhoo is forgotten. VX/'HFN a school has grown to the size of the University of Ore * ’ gon harmony among students is essential. Remember the old “Hello” spit it? Bring it back. String Hello Lane from one end of the campus to the other. Everyone you meet has gone through the same registration procedure, paid his $26.25. and yawned wearily before making his first 8 o’clock. All are brothers and sisters- in a way, so we must say “Hello.” Realization that days of brutality to llie freshman are nearing end comes with the rumor that one living organization on the campus has no paddle in its possession. Judging by the crowd in the Igloo during registration, men’s physical education is the most popular course in the University. Nevertheless, some of us can remember when a milking stool would come in handy at every station during registration.

Tryouts for the Women’s and Men’s Glee Clubs are being held at the school of music building this week. Men try out from 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. and the women in the aft' rnoon from 4 to 6.

Attention, Frosh — The frosh nomination convention will be held Friday, October 3, at 4:30 in Vil lard assembly. ‘Report All Changes of Address,’ Says ‘Doc’ All students who have changed their address since registration or have not recorded their permanent University address are requested by “Doc" Robnett, assistant grad uate manager, to report new ad dresses to the graduate manager's office at the north end of Friendly hall. This is necessary in order that the student directory, annual publication put out by the grad uate manager’s office, may have the correct addresses of the stu dents. Dean Must Know Where Men Live Men! Attention! Have you received your ju nior certificate? If so, don't bother to read this. If not, harken. Have you established your residence in a dormitory or hall of residence ? If so, you may stop here. If not, harken still further. Have you made arrangements with Dean Biggs to live out side ? If so—. But if not, report to his office in Johnson hall on or before October 4, which is Saturday, at which time all un derclassmen must be living in approved residences. Don't forget!

The page size will be one-quarter as large as the Emer ald. Contributions of short short- i stories, sketches, poetry, and criti cism of art, music, drama, and books are most welcome. They may be left at the office in back of Friendly hall, occupied jointly with the Oregana. Prizes such as books and theatre tickets are being arranged for each type of contribution. Contributors can appear at the office any afternoon from 3 to 5. “This Land of Liberty,” Ernest Sutherland Bates’ latest book, is causing quite a sensation in liter ary circles. Professor Bates taught in the 1930 summer session, and was at one time head of the Eng lish department. He is a famed critic and liberal. Says Web Jones, in the Oregon Journal: “The appalling picture of the decline of personal liberty . . . as presented by Mr. Bates, in an appalling tale of encroachment on private rights; of universal distor- j tion of constitutional protection I . . . of forces gone wild; of a new generation doomed to life without freedom . . . “This Land of Lib erty is the protest of a man of recognized intellectual standing; it is a searching and impassioned ♦ THE WET FOOT “ALL, THE NEWS THAT’S FOOT TO PRINT’’ In order to start the freshmen off on the right foot, (left in mil itary), this column of chaff has decided to print a director of the places to avoid, people not to speak to, and things not to do.

Considerable news comes from Hollywood about Albert Richard Wetjen, one of Oregon's best known writers. His last book, ‘‘Way for a Sailor” has just been finished as a cinema opus, with John Gilbert. It seems that Wet jen has had little difficulty recog nizing his own brain child at times, and the Gilbert is not quite the bawdy sailor he conceived, but reports say that it wili do much to help the “screen's greatest lov er” remount his pedestal. Wetjen has lectured to writing groups on the campus several times. John Tunis, author of “Ameri can Girl,” has an article in last week’s New Yorker. He punctures the proverbial theory about Amer ican sportsmanship, pointing out the superiority of the Frenchmen in this respect. Divorce is a subject on which authors are supposed to be expert, either through personal experience or through objective study of the loves of their characters. A group of notable authors from four coun tries have contributed their can did views of divorce to a volume to be published next month. Ber trand Russell, Fannie Hurst, H. G Wells, Theodore Dreiser, Rebecca West, Andre Maurois, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Warwick Deeping, are the contributors. “Today on the Yukon Trail of ’98,” by Amos Burg, University ot Oregon’s own explorer, appeared in the July Geographic.
