Best for ths Best—The Emerald Makes Good
JgY far the happiest indication gained from
the Emerald reader interest survey of
last week is that the Emerald is read far more
thoroughly than is the ordinary newspaper.
Compared with the results of other sur
veys elsewhere, Emerald figures immediately
establish their superiority. Emerald reader
percentages surpass others by all the way
from a third to twice that much. More Em
erald readers had read more of the paper, in
cluding advertising, than national experience
gave any right to expect.
It was shown as expected that readers have
definite habits in reading the Emerald. The
“Eight-Ball” column, batted out the highest
total of all, 81 per cent. The almost universal
acceptance of this column, creation of one J.
Bryant, who is independent as a hog on ice,
would seem to establish the rather dubious
point that there is popular demand for the
scurrilous in journalism.

IMPORTS page figures showed that the spe
cial appeal of sports finds a special group
of readers, not a majority. The survey report
declares that sports pages apparently show
reader interest only for those interested to
some degree in sports. In comparison with
other sports pages the Emerald’s sports de
partment was just as superior in reader inter
est as the rest of the paper.
Even editorials, which nationally attract
only one out of every four readers, found
three out of every eight Emerald readers.
All in all, the Emerald came off very
favorably in comparison to what might have
been expected from national) figures. Not
only are more Emerald readers reading the
Emerald, but they are reading more of it. Any
newspaper which finds itself this close to its
readers cannot be doing such a bad job, al
though of course no job was ever done which
could not be bettered.
Especially gratifying to their originators
was the reception afforded the new nameplate
and the five-column format, which seems to
have won acceptance on their own merit, by
an easy two-to-one score.

j^ESULTS of the survey are both informa
tive and heartening, coming as they do
so close to the announcement that the Em
erald had made it three years in a row in All
American ranks. A newspaper could be All
American technically, could be a newspaper
man’s newspaper, but if it did not reach its
readers its job would be only half done.
Surveys are accomplishing wonders these
days, and newspapers are the first to feel
their effect. The Emerald is a ease in point,
for these are the first quantitative, direct sta
tistics about Emerald readers in some years.
Conclusions drawn from this particular sur
vey, which was conducted by tested, reliable
methods, will affect the Emerald no little both
this year and next, to the benefit of reader
and newspaper.
In view of both the Emerald’s recently
won All-American status and the unusually
high percentages found by the survey, it
would seem a logical conclusion that the Em
erald is a high-grade newspaper for high
grade readers.

No Monkey Business
Shaw’s Really Back
Now that Artie (the music
business stinks) Shaw is back in
the fold, the RCA Record com
pany is showering the fair
haired boy with enough public
ity to make a musician out of a
monkey. (Or visa versa). Public
ity agents are flooding the coun
try with pertinent information on
the “new, the more versatile, the
more brilliant Shaw.” Artie’s two
new recordings, “Frenesi" and
“Adios, Mariquita Linda” are be
ing featured in all music stores
in a special display along with a
handsome picture of the maestro.
Everything looks like smooth
sailing for Mr. Shaw except for
one little problem all the east
ern night clubs have agreed that
they can't have any 31 musicians
hanging around the bandstand
and cluttering up the dance floor.
With this mob there wouldn't be
room enough left for the cash
customers, or for that matter —
enough cash customers to pay
for hiring Shaw and his circus.
So You Want to Be
A Radio Star
From t h e CBS Collegiate
fiehind the g BALL
With JACK BRYANT
Night Life
Was over to the country club
the other night. Back in one of
those dark passages is a place
where you can leave things for a
good while . . . Good deal.'. The
guy that took the drinking fau
cets from the library terrace can
put them back now. . . . Ted Sar
pola, from Astoria (40 miles down
the river from Clatskanie) has his
notebook full of well drawn
sketches of all kinds of boats . . .
And don’t forget our dowii
river pals that want us to let
them hold the Hayward relays
every other year. Sure, 'n' if they
want McArthur court and the
law school they can have them
too. . . . The grass-movers are
at it again.
Seen Together
Art Lowther and Betty Gustan
son . . . Max Knight and Ernie
Detlefson are still the IT DOES
LAST example. . . . Seen apart,
Gloria Wadsworth and Lloyd
Manning . . . wonder ?
Oh, yes, and the story about
Harriet Minturn going steady
with two fellows is news. Roses
followed by orchids followed by
flowers is the menu for today.
War?
Peggy Mills says we'll be in the
war within a year and that she
wants to go fight. . . . Me ? . . .
I'm going back to Clatskanie.
Spring time is track time. A
visit to the Hayward oval any
time in the afternoon will reveal
hundreds of fellows running
around the quarter mile cinder
path.
Oregon is going to have a pret
ty good team this year, but has
no sensational stars. This boy
Brown is pretty good in the jave
lin but isn't worth a dam in the
660’s. Another of the pretty good
boys is Jim Buck. He works hard
trying to make Coach Bill think
he is working. These guys, Bob
Mitchell and Kirman Storli both
run a long ways and Storli trains.
That's all.
Broadcast service comes some
very interesting information for
anybody who is contemplating ra
dio work for a career. The per
sonnel offices of the Columbia
studios receive an average of 85
letters a day from college men
and women who are looking for
radio jobs. These letters contain
applications for jobs ranging
from engineer to script writer,
from idea man to program pro
ducer, from news analyst to
sound effects man.
For those who are interested
in becoming announcers, which
is a very high paying profession,
Columbia lays down four rigid
qualifications: a college educa
tion or its equivalent; experience
with at least two local stations;
a voice and air personality dis
tinguished without affectation;
and an accent that cannot be
identified with any particular
section of the country.
The local station is the place
to get started. If you can sell
Schmidt’s Corner Grocery to the
home-town public you'll be well
on your way toward selling a na
tional advertiser to the whole na
tion. . . . It’s very interesting
work—if you can get started.
Jealousy rears its ugly head
. . the juniors are worrying
about a name band for their
weekend—somebody to compete
with the frosh's Uncle Benny G.
Wally Rossman, dance head, says
that at the present time Carl Ra
vazza looks like the best bet.
Wally reminds us that tonight
(Wednesday) is the appointed
time for the fraternity and soror
itv song finals. The place is the
McDonald theater. Those compet
ing are: Delta Gamma, Phi Phi,
and Gamma Phi sororities. The
frats are ATO, Phi Delt, and Sig
ma Chi. Seventy-five silver pel
lets to each of the two winners.

mander red with a whitfe print of scissors, pins,

collar, the bound buttons, and the blue patent

is the separate navy wool fitted jacket. While
it carries out the scissors motif with its novel
scissor fasteners, it can be worn with other
dresses and even with formals. Price, 522.50.
