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

seemingly so. judging by the num

though, so—here are the rest:

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.
We mention bicycles, but serve
due warning to students rushing
blindly to eight o’clocks, remem
bering a certain coed who caused
