And it is the 3.32 average of the Old Oregon upper news staff that has licked the Emerald GPA.

After grades bounced out of Emerald hall, the two editors av eraged their w'orkers’ earnings. Frazier found that a 3.20 was all he could wring out of his upper news staff, whiPe Moore waved a 3.32, more than a tenth of a point higher.
