We Did Our Best
The annual Oregon High School Press conference, which
began Friday and will be concluded today, initiates what may
become a tradition. The duties of the Emerald staff members
were taken over by a group of six high school delegates fiom
throughout the state.
It’s quite a step from working on a high school weekly or
semi-monthly to start almost from scratch and act as the
editors of a daily paper such as the Emerald. '1 o most of the
delegates, the feeling was that of a “sheep out of pasture.
A great honor was bestowed upon these six high school
students when they were selected to fill the various staff po
sitions, but it is up to them to make this feature successful
enough to be continued throughout the many high school
press conferences to come. This is quite a responsibility.
This issue of the Emerald is more or less an experiment.
The substitute staff members hope that any mistakes appear
ing today will be considered in their proper perspective. All
we can do is our best and we will do our best to make this
feature on that can be included as part of the conference in
years to come. C.B.R.
It Pays To Buy Christmas Seals
The theme of the Christmas Seal tuberculosis fund for the
coming drive is “Protect Your Home From -Tuberculosis.”
The campus drive opens Monday, December 8 and closes
Friday, December 12.
Funds are needed greatly for the curing of thise who are
known to have the disease and also to assist those who do
not have the slightest inkling that they have tuberculosis by
conducting examinations and tests to discover the condition.
Christmas seals represent a very worthy cause that con
cerns us all. This cause is the continuing fight to stamp out
the dread disease known as tuberculosis. When buying Christ
mas seals during the coming drive, and when using the seals,
we should all stop and think of just what they mean and how
much help their use renders. —D.A.R

Trees Laud Past Classes
When Villard and Deady comprised the University of Ore
gon campus, the class of ’78 started a new fad by planting a
large English laurel on the northwest corner of Deady hall.
Since then, 19 classes have donated trees to the campus.
Among the more famous of these trees is an elm given by
the father of a ’83 graduate, then U.S. Senator Slater. Originally
a slip from an elm at Washington’s tomb at Mount Vernon, it
is now at the northwest corner of Deady hall.
The class of ’93 left in their memory a basalt pillar carried
from Skinner’s Butte. A myrtle given by the class of .'98 has
the honor of being the last class tree. The huge oaks northwest
of Villard hall are tagged by various graduating classes.
The English cedar left by the graduates of '91 died but one
of the alumni donated another tree.
Other trees donated include a Japanese cedar, California big
tree, Port Oxford cedar, mountain cedar, incense cedar, silver
pine, fir tree, arbor vitae, Oregon fir, spruce, California red
woods and linden trees.
