The President Speaks
University President O. Meredith Wilson will address
students and faculty at a 1 p. m. assembly today in the Stu
dent Union ballroom.
We think this is an excellent opportunity for students to
meet this man we’ve all been hearing so much about. And re
member, if a University president is to come out of the ivory
tower, it takes cooperation from both sides.
So, be there. President Wilson is a big man. He will have a
lot to say to hold your interest.
Those Lines Again
How long did you stand in line, or should we say lines?
Somehow we can think of a lot of things we’d rather do than
stand in a line. But we stood in line all day Monday. So did
-everyone else.
They started forming in front of the Dad's lounge before 7
Monday morning. They were still spilling out of the ballroom
■and Emerald hall late in the afternoon.
There were lines to pick up material, lines to register in the
departments—and we pity the poor English majors, the lines
were the longest there. There were lines to go through stu
dent affairs in the ballroom, lines to pay fees, lines to cash a
check in the Co-op, lines to buy books.
Half the time we didn’t know what the lines were for, but it
gets to be a habit after awhile. You see people standing so you
stand there too. It might not be the line you want but you just
•don’t care anymore.
Emerald hall was like that. Just inside the door people were
packed like those proverbial sardines. Further in, if you could
fight your way through, there was plenty of room—and sev
eral payment windows with very few customers.
Couldn’t some more efficient method of payment on the first
Tush day be devised ?
In fact, the entire procedure seems a terrible waste of time.
jWe remember the “old days” of pre-registration. That wasn't
-too pleasant either—we doubt if registering can ever be enjoy
able.
But at least we didn’t waste a.whole day in the lines. And
they weren’t so long either. The new system may have advan
tages, it may cut down on the number of absentees in first-day
•classes, but we doubt if it’s worth it. Don’t we miss a whole day
of classes anyway ?
What will happen when it rains on registration day? We’ve
been lucky so far, but those lines stretch a long way down
13th from Emerald halL And they spill out of the ballroom
door. When we get rain—and we will some registration day—
the infirmary will probably be flooded with flu cases.
We can see it now—an all-campus party in the infirmary on
the day after registration. (J.W.)
A Proud Tradition
The staff of your Oregon Daily Emerald proudly announces
-that, for the first time in a decade, the Emerald is financially
solvent.
Emerald staffs, particularly of the past two years, have cut
lot of corners and done a lot of manuevering to catch up with
soaring printing costs, overcome problems of an undermanned
advertising staff, and maintain increased staff efficiency de
manded by the reorganization of the University press.
Emerald finances have been no secret on campus. But we
wonder if many students are aware of how close the Oregon
Daily Emerald came to buckling under to financial pressures.
It’s not a problem we face alone. Schools up and down the
Pacific coast are reporting financial troubles on their student
newspapers.
We think your Emerald is important enough for a little con
cern over such problems from the entire campus. And if the
University of Oregon is to maintain a student publication, it
can’t be done by a handful of students over here in the Shack.
Some of it has to come from the outside.
It has to come from campus publicity committees working
in close cooperation with the staff. It has to come from in
terested, informed readers. It has to come from non-journal
ism majors finding their way over to the Shack.
So, if you have interest, ambition and one or two spare hour?
a week, we’d like to see you join in our fight to uphold a proud
tradition. The Shack is always open and you’re always wel
come at the quonset hut next to Deady hall.
