at! Ehitntiala gal ARMISTICE DAY. On Saturday. November 11th, we will celebrate Armistice Day. Does this mean anything to you? 'To the writer it means the Close of a terrible war-a war which we did not win. With the armistice began another war -21 commercial war in which Germany and :1 few other European nations have entered themselves as against the .-Xmerican market. XVe may be doubted in this by some, hut the majority will consider us cor- rect when we say that the American markets are swamped with foreign l'junk eand that word is not used slnngily, but literally. The writer has had occasion to look into this matter at foreign imitations of American products: and can liken them only to imitatlons-theap imitations of good jewelry. The unsuspecting public get lmclly stungf CO-OPERATION. Co-operationewhat does it mean? To us it means that we must work toe gethe r. Teamwork is the name offered by other people, and it means consider; able. Every athletic team insists on it. The editors are asking you for your assistance. This is not our per- sonal propositioneit belongs to the en- tire student body. We must have tiiaterial for our papelxathere is where co-uperation comes in. That we have a great deal of it is proved by the many activities which are get- ting under way in the school. It might he called school spirit. hut school spirit is useless without eo-oper- atimi. XVe shall have something to say that no one else can offer, we believe, and that is that we are going to have one hundred percent of the student body subscribe to our paper, which will he a record to be proud of. Now it is up to us to keep the ball rolling. The hardest part, the energy necessary to start it, 15 now over. There will be Five more issues and each one must be better than its preceding number. It is all up to you. Submit your material and show us that you believe that Portland University is as important as any other school in the country. The matter is now in your hands, and you must uphold it. Let us see if yet: have the true spirit of eo-operation in you. - We offer you the immortal slogan of the A. E F.J7 Let,s Go 1 BACK THE ADVERTISERS. It was htought to my attention the other day that it does not mean a. great deal to the advertisers in any medium to advertise unless results are obtained by the advertiSing. In Order to help Our business manager some, the writer dropped in to see a friend who is in- terestecl in Portland University. When the subject of the visit wasihmught up! the prospective advertiser said, 'lNow look here, Phil, I will give you the ad you want. but I do not expect to get great results from it-iu fact, I do not expect to obtain a. single return. I have advertised in a great many pa- pers. and l know from experience that many of them. especiallj.r school pa- pers. bring absolutely no returns. I am giving you this tip: try to inter- est your subscrihers in supporting your advertisers.

4 T ll E I have thought a great deal about this statement. and I am Firmly oi the opinion that he was absolutely correct We du not support our advertisers as much as we should. They advertise to help us. perhaps. but the chief rea- son is. because they want our business Every advertiser in our paper is with usewhy shouldnit we be with them? 'l'lay square. The editors will do their part. but the student hotly must co- npernte with us. .Nnd when you lmy anything from these advertisers, he sure to mention that you saw their ad in the Portland University PUVLiN; otherwise they will not know that their advertising in this medium is bringing results. We do not think that we are asking anything unreasonable when we make this requestedo you? Pump B. Stumps. The Erlitots wish to express their sincere gratitude to Elise; Doris Covey, Miss Katherine Kearneyr and Miss Annie jutlkins for their assistance in bringing out this issue of THE PUVIX? The Staff at the PUVIAN wish to ex- tend their thanks to the Portland- Etimn'ng Express for their kindness in loaning us the cut of the Editorial Hoard which appears in another part of this issue. Miss Muriel V. Kezar. who attended Portland University last year, claims the distinction of being the first sub- scriber to the PIEVMN. She asked to become a subscriber when the paper was in its imaginary stages. and the editors feel that the first copy of our paper to come from the press should he sent to her. Hence the very first copy is being reserved. PUVTAN ' After you read this issue. do not be afraid to give friendly criticisms. Of course 0111' faults do not look as large to us as they do to you. so if you will kindly help us out the Editorial Board will appreciate it. The follmring news item was taken from a southern newspaper: Yesterday the Courier was the hrst p-ar-er to report that Colonel john l'lamilton was dead. Today we are the first to deny this report. The Courier always leatlsf' That we haw artistic talent in Port- land i'oiversity is shown by the fact that our Exchange Editor, Frederick ll. Wilson. is again playing as an actor with the stock company at the Jeffer- son Theatre. Did our Editor take his position with our paper to heart? It would look that way. as he has recently see cured his old position as a cub reporter for the Express and Taiegram. Let us hope that he will at least learn something about the paper game.
