Paper Rejuvenation Plan To Begin Thursday Night An Emerald rejuvenation pro gram will get underway Thursday night at 7 o’clock with a short meeting in 104 journalism. Emphasis in the program will be placed on the recruiting of a large staff. Returning veterans Tommy Wright and Herb Penny are help ing Louise Montag, editor, in a re organization plan which will de fine duties of upper staff members and provide a guide for the pro cessing of a greater volume of copy. “We want to put out a livelier paper. This means that we must have a large staff so that we can have more adequate coverage of the campus,” Miss Montag says. She points out that the pre-war Emerald had more than enough copy to fill a paper twice the size of the present publication although the student body was usually much smaller than at present. Mayo States By Mayo, assistant managing editor and a returned veteran, states that the aim is to have the Emerald fulfill its primary mission of covering the campus. “A school of 3500 men and women should provide more than o enough live news to fill a 16-page daily," Mayo says. He wants to cut down on the use of long interviews and “inflated” feature stories as space-fillers. Art Litchman, former sports writer and a returned veteran, is working on plans to increase the spirit of competition among junior staff members and help rebuild the prestige of the Emerald both on the campus at large and among journalism students. “We can’t put out a good paper if everyone is going to criticize it and no one is willing to take any part in improving it,” Litchman avers. Bernard Engel, another returnee, will speak to journalism classes today and Thursday. He plans to explain some of the proposed or ganizational changes and to tell students some of the advantages of Emerald work to themselves. “No one should graduate from a school of journalism without being able to write a simple news story but many may do just that,” Engel asserts. “The only, way to learn to write is to write and write and write. Emerald work gives you topics and, in time, the ability to handle most of the various writing techniques. “We have enough people regis ter'd now so that we should be able to relieve upper staff members from routine chores and leave them free to check on copyreading and work with the reporters to help them improve their stories. A news paper is a cooperative enterprise. You can’t hope to put out a really good daily with only half a dozen people doing any particular work on it,” Engel says. PROFESSOR THACHER (Continued from pane one) English estate, Barrington Beckett.” Thacher explained that the classes were held in buildings erected about 10 years ago by the British government to house a mili tary school, and he described the buildings as being “adequate.” "University life provided all that you will find here—sports, music, and plays,” the professor explained. “The army also provided trips to places of interest—Bristol, Bath, Salisbury.” Of particular interest to Mr. Thacher was a faculty trip to Edin burgh between terms. He described the city as “beautiful and very like an American city” except for the medieval castles that could be seen in the distance. The king, queen, and princesses were visiting the city at that time and the city was in “jubilee with celebrations going on continually,” Thacher related, lated. He also accompanied a group of professors on a special lecture series to Paris and Frankfort, where he met Major George God frey, a member of the journalism faculty on military leave, who is now managing editor of the south Germany edition of the Stars and Stripes, army newspaper. Arrived Feb. 2 Arriving in New York on Feb. 2, he was met by Mrs. Thacher, pro fessor of piano at the University. While in New York and Washing ton, he encountered several promi nent Oregonians including Senator Wayne Morse; Charles Hulten, on leave from the school of journalism for government work: Carlton Savage, past student body presi dent, now assistant to the secretary of state; Fletcher Udall, prominent University student 10 years ago, ana now connected with an im portant advertising firm; and Marie Rogndahl, the singer dis covered on the campus last year. Mr. Thacher has now returned to his position in the journalism school and will, in addition, teach a course in advanced writing this term.

Hail Transportation The lack of railroads is not the problem it appears on paper be •ause the Chinese have built a vast network of roads and prefer trucks according to LaFargue. Aircraft are being substituted by necessity; cor rail traffic in many places.
