mil;,.'-Ill 'V .. IWllt'VIWI Men Month . . Press Chiefs Reminisce On Things in Common’ By BETTY ANN STEVENS ‘We want to be interviewed together. We’ve always been together, pleaded lanky, red-headed J. Wesley Sullivan, editor of the O REG AN A, with a humorous glint. Soft-spoken Ray Schrick, editor of the EMERALD, entered his office just then, propped his feet on the desk and leaned back. “M-m-m-h-m-m,” he agreed briskly, “We both used to be JOURNAL boys . . . “and I was a News Telegram boy.” “So \va3 I," exciaimed “Wes,” “The paper eventually folded,” Sc.ick added impishly. “T was an Oregonian boy, too.” “Well, that’s something we do. Vt have in common.” Ever Since Franklin Ti. e two heads of publications or. the campus seem to have had thugs in common ever since Ray was the charter president of Quid and Scroll at Portland's Franklin high school, and “Sul ly” was the charter secretary. Surly fallowed Schrick as editor of the Franklin Post, then “Schrick, Bob Nagel, and 3 de cided to come down to school to gether and stay in the same co-Qp,” Suity said. Ray nodded his head. “vVe all ended up in different co-ops, then Schrick moved up to the Delt house in the middle of fall term, and I liked Camp bell so I stayed there.” Presbyterian “The meaning of ‘J' in J.W.S.? W.’-H, that’s rather obvious, isn't it"”- Sully asked. “John Wesley the great Methodist . . . arid I a a Presbyterian.” Without the benefit of any in ter;.dewer's prodding, the two seniors in journalism continued: Sally: “The way I got into jo malism was . . . well, I wrote a theme criticizing movies, and it1.'' teacher, Blanche Thurston, like-5 it. That was a mistake. My first poem was called ‘Bells,’ or something about tardy bells, aUyur bells, and on. was very corny. They had to revise it quite a bit.” Since then “j.W, S ' has written over 360 limer icks for the Emerald, and “easily 500 altogether. I don't even save thuni any more,” he admitted. “I used to, though.” N™> Story? II.-y: l;I just about quit the first day of journalism in high school. We had to write a news story about returning to school, and I didn’t know what a news story was. I was all ready to sell ray journalism hook, hut Moth er wouldn’t let me.” During their freshman year Schrick remarked that “I wrote the two worst stories of the year . . . remember the Emerald ban quet?" Sully reminisced, “And I wrote a story about the 3 o'clock club that Jermain (the news editor) wouldn't accept." By J. Schrick Asked for a statement about married life, Schrick grinned, “My wife (Betty Biggs Schrick, business manager of the Emer ald) claims I have the dirtiest cords on the campus, but she married me anyway.” Sully continued, “One term we had all our classes together . . . Schrick and B.J. and I . . .” “All except P.E.,” Ray cor rected. “I used to be the peace-maker before they got married,” Sully commented sadly. Elsie Brownell Sully plans to married “some time around the Ides of March,” to Elsie Brownell, another senior in journalism, and a member of Alpha Gamma Delta. During their sophomore year, Ray was the assistant managing editor, and Sully the assistant We'^ve. Not <7allzi+Uf abou. the “Isle of Jersey" or Jersey City. . . .

Ray graduating' to the managing editorship last year, thence to the editor’s chair this year. Sully, however, took a different turn. He did some Ore gana work, and became managing editor of the Oregana his junior year, and editor of the All-Amer ican publication this year. “We’re all on Old Oregon to gether . . . B.J., too." “Assistants. . . .” “Assistants or associates . . .” (Please runt to page eight) A/a Mate 6ond,r *1>uf, Soaoten, Say4, Monty, fi. Due to extreme war-time emer gencies, we are convinced that a serious discussion on modes of transportation is timely, reveal ing, and necessary for the general welfare of the people. That is, of course, provided that people want to get places—and they usually do. Now that cars have become merely tinny bodies with four rims which run on a tankful of water, hope and imagination, we mark the advantages of the myth ical magic carpet of Ali Baba. Mechanical Problem Incidentally, we are not heart broken by the disappearance of the car; we are reminded of its annoyance during cold weather when we had to crawl into the black, greasy depths of the en gine every night with a hammer, a screw-driver, and a pair of pliers, to turn two thingamajigs which drained the W'ater, and when we carried out water in a leaky rooter’s lid every morning to fill it up. It was then we real ized the full value and signifi cance of our experiences as a ship-fitter. We could deliver a short ser mon on the values of walking, but we feel sure that somewhere in the collection of Addison and Steele the^e is an essay “On Walking” to which you can re fer. Electric Train We significantly ignore the screaming billboards, “Next Time Try the Train.” “Go ahead and scream,” we say, “but we’ll stick to Sherlock Holmes.” But if you ever desire a train trip, we sug gest a turn around the room on' the top of your toy electric train.
