The rattle oi typewriters, the ringing phones, a continuous muttering, the smell Ot tobacco smoke, all this-broken occasionally by a shout of where in the hell did that Student Union story go carries with it the atmosphere of a big town daily, but in reality it is the setting of the Oregon Daily Emerald. The Emerald has lone' been one of the top ranking college dailies in the country. Several times it has been awarded the honor oi All-American and in 1937-38 won the distinction of Pacemaker. This year under Editor Bud lermain, the Emerald has continued its high standards. A new type face and smaller heads were introduced. Again the Student Union was backed. A campaign to send Oregon swimmers to the national meet was originated by the sports department. A con- structive editorial policy has followed. These and many other things have combined to make the Emerald a vital part of the University's school lite. Lyle Nelson, managing editor, spends long hours seeing that pages are made up and that all copy is correct. News Editor Helen Angell, titian sophomore prize of the staff, dishes out as- signments to a score of reporters. George Pasero and Elbert Hawkins head the sports department, with Ken Christiansen as assistant. Marge Fin- negan is capable women's editor. Jimmie Leonard and Hal Olney, assistant managing editors and Betty Iane Thompson, chief night editors, complete the Emerald upper news staff. l l I l E Night staff. left ot right: William Borthwick, Ieff Kitchen.
