This Four Page Deal
The Oregon Daily Emerald, continuing last spring term’s
^policy, is printing four pages, five days a week this year. We
'will continue to do so until such a time that advertising income
-Should be built up sufficiently for us to return to eight-page
papers.
In the meantime, we will print occasional eight-pagers only
when advertising for a particular issue is in large enough
quantity to pay for an eight-pager.
This means, of course, that we are limited in the number and
:size of news stories that we are able to print. It also means, be
cause of costs and present operational factors in printing four
and eight-page papers at the University press, that we must go
Ito press in the morning and distribute the Emerald at key points
on campus around noon.
Within this framework we shall attempt to do the best pos
sible job of news coverage that we can. We would rather that
Tthe papers were delivered to houses, dormitories, and the Stu
dent Union and Co-op, in the morning, and that they would be
•-eight-pagers, with space adequate to do an extensive job of
coverage and writing. For now, anyway, we must be more mod
est in our endeavors, quantatively speaking.
Sophomores and upperclassmen will remember the regular
eight-page Emeralds. Emerald publication has been eight pages,
liive days a week, until last year. Fall term it was four days a
cveek; winter term it was three four-pagers and two eights each
'•week; spring term it went to five four-pagers per week.
The financial difficulties have been growing upon us for a
few years. Decrease in enrollment has meant no prospect for
more income from student fees, and printing costs coupled
with decreased advertising revenue has meant more problems.
All this is by way of explanation of why and how we stand for
tthe present. We realize that the current system causes incon
'veniences and difficulties that we would like to avoid. And we
'will continue working to get back to eight-page, morning pub
lication with more direct distribution.

“We’d like to take you upstairs and show you the real gracious*

The Sophomores All Vibrated,
But She Was A Shade Cynical

She came downstairs, attempt

of social enthusiasm; it was not
working very well. Upstairs on

in her heart she was just a shade
cynical about the sign.

“All right, ladles, slddown
and look casual,” the house
president yelled, arranging
herself casually In a chair
within easy range of the front
door. The ladies sat down in
casual groups, looking anx
iously toward the windows.
There was a thumping on the
front sidewalk; hearty laughter;
the door fell open and one hun
dred members of The Greatest
Fraternity on Earth (it said so
in the pledge manual in five
colors with pictures of the found
ers) slugged their way in.
There was some haggling over
money at the door. It was a
small fee for a dance with what
would probably turn out to be a
small man. For her, the senior,
it was a moment of tension.
The tallest and most stal
wart of that crew turned out
to be the laziest and least dis
criminating as well; he chose
the house president, whose
choice of a chair within easy
walking-distance of the door
turned out to be wise indeed. \
The smaller, uglier, and more
misshapen men penetrated on
into the living room and fer

juniors were chosen next, and
YWCA Begins
Member Drive
“Join the YW, it's your cam

Using this motto as a theme,
the YWCA began its annual mem
bership drive today. Junior advis
ers of the group will speak in
freshman women’s living organi
zations this week explaining the
purpose of the YWCA on the cam
pus and the organization of the
four freshman commissions—ser
vice, public affairs, religion and
worship. Cost of membership for
the year is $1.
The campaign, under the di
rection of Tina Fisk, general
chairman, and Barbara Keelen
Altman, YWCA president, is aim
ed primarily at freshmen and new
students.

old and withered senior class.
She had all but resigned her
self to spinsterhood, and was
wondering where you could buy
crochet needles, when He arrived
at her side. His appearance was
at first unnoticed, because he
did not seem to be much taller
than a good-sized cocker spaniel.
He handed her a line. "H'lo,”
he said, “wanna dance?"
She accepted demurely. "Sure,"
she said. He grasped her by the
nearest hand and brought her
upon the dance floor. Looking
down upon him, she observed
that he was very young, and
that perhaps his dance step was
one which was current in what
ever high school he had recently
been ejected from. On the oth
er hand, maybe she was mistak
en; maybe they hadn't started
dancing yet, and were doing
some sort of preparatory exer
cises.
Evidently feeling that the
favor he had dispensed by
dancing with her was enough,
he did not bother with con
versation. He looked stolid
ly ahead, avoiding obstacles
with great dexterity. Sudden

her heavily to what he un
doubtedly considered to be his
chest. She cursed herself for
having worn perfume.

whistle blew; the partner heav

trotted dutifully off in the di

feeling that she had not found
her life's companion.
The ladies were back In the
living room, mopping their
brows. The house president, tri

back in her chair. Maybe, the
senior was thinking, maybe if
