Just what is this ultimatum which the women have deliv ered ! Is it an expression of sincere conviction, or are they try ing a new way to be coy and cagey? The women issued a challenge, and were challenged in return. They have been told that to destroy party lineups is to destroy the entire legislative machine of the campus. They have been told that no student body can elect efficient executives without parties and their tickets. The women disagree heartily with this viewpoint. Again and again they have said, since issuing this ultimatum, that they believe in individual thinking, individual voting, and politics that are “unrailroaded.” Their stand will make it harder for candidates to A. S. U. O. office to win elections, for their appeals for votes must be ad dressed now to individuals. Instead of winning over the political representatives of each organization, who then dictates the house’s policy, the candidates will find it necessary to win the approval of 30 women where before he secured only one. Individuals as such are more critical, demand more of their representatives, than do the mob. Political candidates will find that they will have to rest their arguments upon more secure, sound foundations. They will find it imperative to have some pretty logical reasons for their election. Polly is not getting out of pollytix at all, but she is getting into them with the determination and the goal of making possible the election of competent, efficient student officers, chosen by individuals who have done their own thinking anti then have cast their vote. c A M — —- v, t Women in Journalism ? JJAVE women a place in journalism ? The five star final" editor nods an emphatic “yes" and sends feminine reporters out to collect sob stories. The small city paper picks a woman reporter to cover society, cooking schools, conventions and like doings. The editor of a country newspaper lets his wife run the linotype and read proof as well as handle advertising and be office boy. Yes, a woman can find a place in journalism. But she has fought hard to attain the status she now holds in newspaperdom. In perhaps no other profession is she treated on a more equitable basis. Sex is ignored in the comradely environs of the copy desk. Men and women are partners in their business of getting and printing the news. This is a situation of which women may be justly proud. Journalism is one field in which they are free to compete on the basis of merit alone. The student journalist receives plenty of discouragement dur ing her undergraduate years. She is told that women haven't a chance at the big-time jobs, that she is wasting her time, that she should take up social work, teaching, or get married. But if the clatter of fifty typewriters, roar of presses, smell of printers’ ink, shouts of city editors and all the other confusion of a newspaper office is music in her ears-she will make a place for herself in journalism. . ■ s Queens for a Day J.JOP1NG to put out the better paper again this year, the women are editing this sheet today. It has been a custom for the past three years for women, journalistically inclined, to take over the publication of the Emerald for one day and night and compete with the men who later put out the campus daily without the touch of feminine hands. The Winner of the best paper is treated to a "party" at the shack. Everyone participates in the blow-out, and a good time is always enjoyed by both the men and women scribes. But, seriously, it is not a question of a party at stake or the honor of having come out on top. The significant fact is that women are more and more competing against men in this busi ness life—and not only competing but often excelling in their work. So our paper today is the result of the work of women from the editor-in-chief on down to the assistant night editors. We have enjoyed being queeens for a day. y w Evans, J.

They were still dancing, but to a dead man’s music. One came out. Murder in the mind had become the tragedy of X. Passing strangers discovered the murder on the yacht at Thurso's landing and called Dr. Kerkhoven. “The virgin kills,” the doctor said succinctly, with the most sol emn expression in America. “Or— among the high hats and low bows —she takes a lover and kills.’’ The Puritan was shnnU-ori murmured, “Life still goes on.” 1 * * * It’s a game you play with the ! book-covers on the Co-op book bul letin board. 1 * # * * Oregon’s Own Movement, excitement, life come into the conservative town on week-ends.
