A copy of the third annual edition
of the Oregon Emerald, to be edited
by the women at the state university
at Eugene has reached the Observer
exchange table. A solid page of edi
torials, a sporting page and several
pages of welf prepared and neatly
gotten up reading matter constitute
the publication. Editorially, Miss
Pauline Davis, the editor In chief,
says: ,
"This, the third annual Women's
edition of the Oregon Emerald, has
a two-fold purpose. Following the
custom originate by the women of
1908, it seeks to present the college
news of the week, as well as discus
sion on topics of special interest to
the students from the women's stand
point. It Is the one time In the col
lege year that the University women
have a direct opportunity to express
their views on college affairs in their
own way. ., , :
This opportunity, together with the
responsibility of gathering and pre
senting the news, brings the women
Into closer touch, with all the Inner
activities of college life and shows
that they have a real -share in the re
sponsibility for the material success
of the University.
At the same time we wish to con
vey to our Junior Week End guests
a little of the meaning ot Oregon
spirit. It will be unnecessary to tell
them that they are all welcome, if
they could know -the pent-up excite
nient and joyous anticipation the
thoughts of this occasion have for us.
We are happy to be able to show
them our beloved institution, and hope
that, as a result of this visit, the
Varsity may come to mean to them
a little of what it means to us, and
that they may Join us in working for
a larger and better Oregon.

The Judicious Distribution of "Com
plimantariaa" by tho Manager 8
euros Well Drootod Audioncos and
8avoo tho Appearance of a "Frost"
Long before the curtain goes down
at the end of a new production the
manager has decided, nine times In
ten, whether he has a success or not.
But he does not mean to be caught
napping in either event.' If be believes
the play Is a "frost" or even a semi
success the house for the next few
nights must bear every outward evi
dence of prosperity. . .'
In other words, he must "buck the
line" of adverse criticism by "papering
the house." For a week, at least he
must make a "front" In the orchestra
chairs, no matter if there is desolation
In the box office. Let him make the
public believe the new piece has at
tracted a large number of patrons for
six or eight performances and there is
a chance of enough business to prop
up a forced run of a few weeks, which
may help things ' on the road. ThU
means mat "paper or tree ucKets
must be judiciously distributed.
Every manager of a theater has a
large circle of friends. This may be
due partly to his possession of a genial
personality, but undoubtedly the busi
ness he is in has in itself an attraction
for many. A majority of these people
will accept passes when they are of
fered; some are not above asking for
them, while still others but these are
rare will buy tickets when compll
mentaries are not tendered.
When the manager has a play that is
in danger of going to pieces for lack
of patronage be sends tickets to all
these friends of his and whenever pos
sible obtains a promise that they will
be used by the persons to whom he
gives them. It Is not difficult to ex
tract such a pledge. Being on terms
of more or less Intimacy with the man
ager, the favored ones know he will
be likely to see them in the theater or
if they are not there that he will take
note of those who do not use the tick
ets. He keeps a record of the seat
numbers opposite the names of those
who should occupy those particular
chairs and can tell at once when his
hospitality has been abused.
Another class which sees many plays
in New York city gratis is to be found
In department stores. Nearly every.
director of a theatrical company as
distinct from a theater manager is on
cordial terms- with the beads of de
partments in large retail mercantile
establishments. Each of these heads
will accept from six to a dozen pairs
of tickets occasionally to distribute
among his subordinates.
Often it is possible to get rid of 200
tickets or more in a day in this way,
and when this is repeated in four or
five stores the manager is sure of the
attendance of an appreciable number
of well dressed young women in the
newest millinery and style of coiffure,
each with a respectably attired cava
lier and all on their best behavior.
These people may not be ultra fashion
able, but they will not disgrace their
environment.
Unless the theatrical " man is ac
quainted with the department heads,
however, It Is not an easy matter to
give away tickets iq such an estab
lishment. The average clerk in a
large store, especially of the feminine
gender, Is suspicious. She does not
understand such open banded generosi
ty, and there must be a lot of expla
nation to convince her that in offering
something for nothing the mnnager
has not some sinister design. As for
the male clerks, if he gives them nny
directly they nre sure to toll very one
what n pull they h:ve with the innn
ai'er and pester him for tickets ever
afterward, particularly when he has a
success, with "the free list absolutely
suspended." ' .
It is far less of an undertaking to
buy a hundred dollars worth of low
priced goods than to make a presenl
of two tickets apiece to a dozen per
sons behind the counter. The tele
phone girls, stenographers and mani
curists look askance nt free tickets
from a stranger, although when their
confidence is won they will generally
accept them with due gratitude.
