Oregon has never faced a brighter, no r more challenging year . Admissions ar e 12.5 per cent ahead of last year; new faculty faces are evident ; campus facilities ar e growing. Five new units are opening i n Walton Dormitory and the first phase (near- ly $2,000,000) of the new Science Buildin g addition will be started soon ; the footbal l team will add new honors to our alread y proud athletic tradition . Yet, with all this, Oregon alumni hav e much to do in this year ahead . With a bar e 4,500 paid-up active members out of a real- istic "active" alumni body of 35,000, th e job of mobilizing alumni interest in th e goals and the needs of the University ap- pear almost insurmountable . Undismayed by this job of building ne w alumni enthusiasm, recruiting new mem- bers for the association, and expandin g alumni events and activities, your new exec- utive committee is moving rapidly into a n aggressive program that will reach ever y alumnus.

Massachusetts Mutua l LIJ E INSLTR%%TC F Cc%1i I t ORGANIZED I$51 SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS LGR EMEMBER PEARL HARBOR! " This cr y echoed and re-echoed across th e nation some 18 years ago as the Unite d States began to mobilize for the greates t armed conflict the world has ever known . For most Americans the day of the Japa- nese attack on Pearl Harbor was a da y never to be forgotten . However, Barbar a iNoldge, of ht . Helens, Oregon-and a growing element of young American s just like her-do not remember Pear l Harbor at all . Barbara was only seve n days old on December 7, 1941 when th e Japanese attack sent this country to war . Lorraine Humphreys, of Weed Heights , Nevada, hadn't even been born yet (Lor- raine arrived on December 8) . This fall, Barbara Noldge, Lorrain e Humphreys and some 2,100 other enter- ing freshmen will constitute the Class o f '63 at the University of Oregon . However their arrival on campus heralds mor e than just another group of fail ter m freshmen . For the Class of '63 is the ad- vance guard of a group of college stu- dents who will drastically affect highe r education across the land . They are th e war babies . "A crisis in education " is what som e educators have called the mushroomin g enrollment that colleges face during th e next ten years as the war babies and suc- ceeding generations flock to the cam- puses. The dilemma which begins to plague educators with the arrival of th e Class of '63 is made more apparent b y comparing this group with preceding an d succeeding college generations . In 1900, one out of every 25 youn g people between the ages of 18 and 2 1 attended college . By 1930, the numbe r was one out of every 12 . This year on e out of every three of the 1,000,000 in thi s age group will he attending college . Bu t in 1967, experts estimate, one out of tw o young Americans will be seeking a col- lege degree . Perhaps more significant i s the estimate that the number of youn g people of this age will have doubled b y then . Thus in 1967 some 7,000,000 stu- dents may be expected to flood alread y crowded campuses . An estimate of projected enrollment s indicates that the University of Orego n can expect the 6,600 students on campu s this year to be approximately 12,450 b y 1970. Like most other colleges, Oregon i s going to have to make adjustments fo r the increased enrollment . Fortunatel y problems will not be as great as at th e University of California where this yea r's student body of 40,000 will bear littl e resemblance to the 96,000 students ex- pected there in 1970 . The sharp upswing in enrollment i s going to hit the colleges hardest in thre e areas : living space for students, class - room space and, of course, faculty and staff. Where to house the influx of stu- dents will be the most serious proble m at Oregon . At the present time Oregon 's dormi- tories can handle 2,115 students . Thi s fall students will come close to fillin g every available dormitory space . "We were almost in trouble this year, " says Walter I rreaulf, as-stsrant director of dor- mitories . "We were expecting this year 's increase in dorm occupants to be abou t 150 over the number for last year- as i t has been each year in the past . Howeve r at registration week our increase over las t fall term stood at 300 ." What would have happened if the in - crease had been 450 instead of 300? Fre- auff replied, "There just would not hav e been enough space ." Thus as far as livin g space is concerned, the University is al - ready uncomfortably close to the bulg e which the war babies will cause . Freauff points out that one-third o f the students live in dormitories . Thi s means that if the U . of O . has a studen t body of 12,000 in 1970, it must hav e dorm space for 4,000 students . This fig- ure may even be too conservative sinc e it is doubtful that off-campus housin g and fraternity housing capacities wil l double as the enrollment does . If enrollment figures increase as ex- pected (factors such as a depression , higher tuition fees or more stringent ad - October-November 1959 3 4 War Babie s Continued . . . mission requirements could reduce th e increase) the present dormitory spac e will riot he enough to house next year 's students . "This is why," says Freauff , "that funds earmarked for an addition t o the Student Union building have bee n rechanneled to build a 330-bed dormi- tory ." When the State Board of Highe r Education approves this change, th e dormitory crisis that could develop wil l be forestalled for a while . W E'RE NOT Too WORRIED abou tclassroom space yet, " says Wil- lard "Tommy " Thompson, Oregon 's di - rector of special services . "Saturda y classes, longer school days and perhap s night classes will prevent a crisis from de - veloping in this area for the present ." What Thompson says is generally th e opinion of other staff and faculty mem- bers as far as the overall problem is con- cerned . For example, although ther e might be a shortage of space in some de- partments, such as in the science labs, o r in the library . there will probably b e enough classroom space in general t o meet the needs . The need for extra faculty and staf f would not appear to be as crucial as th e need for more living space . No doub t there will be a lessening of the persona l type of relationship that now exists o n campus between faculty members an d students . However the doubling of stu- dents will not cause a proportionate in - crease of staff and faculty members . Dean of Men Ray Hawk, who deals with ap- proximately 3,800 male students at pres- ent is confident that his staff would no t have to be greatly enlarged to deal wit h 7,000 men . "But," says Hawk, "the per- centage of those boys that I will be abl e to know personally would be far fewer ." This reduction of the "personal touch " is not going to be popular among mos t students and faculty . It is well known tha t many students cite the size factor as th e reason why they selected Oregon ove r larger and more "impersonal " schools _ While the need for more faculty mem- bers will eventually become more press- ing than the need for more administrativ e staff, there are a number of ways to avoi d a complete crisis in this area . These in- clude educational television, a possibl e 12-month academic year and plans a s radical as the Antioch University "stud y plus work " plan . Under this particula r program half the students go to school i n the morning while the other half work at jobs or do home study . In the afternoo n the two groups change positions . In Oregon, classroom television "is stil l in the experimental stage ," says Professo r Glenn Starlin, coordinator of the educa- tional television project which links sev- eral college classrooms throughout West - ern Oregon . The experiment has no w been under operation for two years an d will continue for another three years , terminating with the end of Ford Founda- tion and National Defense Act grant s sponsoring the program . At the end of this five-year testing per- iod, Starlin and his associates will repor t their findings . One aspect to be scruti- nized closely is whether or not qualit y teaching can be imparted as well via tele - vision as by the conventional method . Whatever the findings are, it will be an - other three years before the Orego n Board of Higher Education takes a har d look at the possibilities of alleviating th e teacher shortage by use of more class - room television . D ESPITETHE PROBLEMS that the Clas sof '63 will bring to the campus thi s year, the freshman class does have certai n aspects about it which should warm th e hearts of college educators . Replies fro m an OLD OREGON questionnaire sent t o some 200 entering freshmen indicat e that the Ducklings have a perceptive vie w of what 's going on in the world, an earn- est desire for quality education and a n optimistic outlook which some quarter s believe is in short supply among th e youth of today . When questioned as to what mad e them pick the University of Oregon, 7 0 per cent replied that Oregon offered the m the best courses available in their major . (One out of every three freshmen is fro m outside Oregon .) Said Allan Wood, a po- litical science major from The Dalles , "I chose to attend the U . of O. because i t is a school which offers a broad educatio n while at the same time giving excellen t training in specialized fields ." Othe r reasons included location, prestige whic h the school holds for them, the size of th e school and recommendations by relatives , friends and teachers . An art major fro m Gladstone, Oregon summed up most o f the reasons given when she replied, "Ore - gon particularly appeals to me because i t seems to combine an excellent scholasti c program with pleasant surroundings an d the kind of friendly atmosphere whic h makes going to school an enjoyable a s well as enriching experience ." It is interesting to note that when aske d what they hoped to achieve through a col - lege education, 40 per cent listed the de - sire to help others above security, sel f betterment, money and prestige . Pre - business major Marcia Thompson o f Pendleton stated, "A college educatio n will give me an excellent opportunity t o improve and prepare myself to enter so- ciety as a self-supporting citizen, wel l informed and eager to apply my knowl- edge in helping to advance our civiliza- tion and strengthen our country and it s inherent freedoms ." Said another, " I also feel that as a young citizen, it is m y responsibility to make myself a bette r person so that we might have a better , more peaceful world to live in ." Cynical seniors might term this typ e of attitude typical of the idealistic fresh - man . However the general tone of an- swers indicates that this class has a great- er awareness of the world and its prob- lems than had the freshman class of fou r years ago . Forty per cent of them sai d that "college is what you want to make it " when asked what their general impres- sions were regarding the University o f Oregon . Edward Wagner of Portland , who plans to study architecture state d that "Any school is what you make of i t and I intend to find the University o f Oregon a school that requires har d study ." While 38 per cent said that they hav e heard Oregon referred to as a "countr y club ." none of them believed this . Mos t felt that Oregon has an ideal balance be- tween academics and social life with th e balance in favor of academics . Said Har- old Carpenter, pre-law major from Hills - borough, California, "OSC students tol d me that Oregon is a "country club" but I have also heard Oregon students call OS C "the cow college" so now I don't pay an y attention to either on this score ." W HEN ASKED TO LIST the major prob -lems of the world today the Clas s of '63 puts a lack of understanding be- tween people and nations at the fore . Farther down their list are the cold war , greed, nuclear weapons, communism, ap- athy, over-population and socialism . Typ- ical was the statement of Gary Lindberg , pre-law major from Portland : "I thin k the major problem facing the world to - day is the problem of understanding be- tween nations . When the peoples of th e world are able to understand and to hel p each other we will be much closer to at- taining world peace ." Anna Holein, a pre-business majo r from Sandpoint, Idaho listed "greed a s one of the worst problems in the worl d today-countries trying to conquer othe r Old Oregon 5 fleetingi t myfield ofy stud yither iseduced ~ should explai n Haadi cappedI Pie have onob eta t _ PPe dteach the me c pond un gualitlee end thceheerld.at p ontributed hPped Peejq ostlr help t thpea t extenasy ba`°mua, ee tae t idy. pokyhopes ereet a aPeopleo ,ere eery some of e yatudent e I feel that the nnivereitynee eeA. echo etudet a e elleeto petalashe e ten eLeu and at p t G g l et eoo trY " butreeted, there areeo as much ou icrol faclli tier.t of a he leoh thekh ho w s loeC thereoo nothing ma a khanal irtghand ere eaaq diyigeat atudente.

There is just one great bi g merry-go-round of greed in the worl d today ." Nancy Miller, planning a libera l arts major, listed three problems that fac e the. world today "a political trend to - ward socialism, increasing pressure s making it easier for us to lose sight o f basic truths such as the Golden Rule, an d the rapid pace of development in scienc e that may slow clown our cultural prog- ress." Ninety-six per cent of the freshme n questioned emphatically denied that the y or their classmates were members of a " beat" or " silent " generation . Said Bo b Chapman, a pre-med and theology majo r from Eugene, "I consider our generatio n to be of neither, but rather of the `critical generation .' It is our generation whic h determines whether the United States be - comes stronger or whether it become s weaker ; and it is our generation whic h determines whether the world becomes a better place to live in ." With regard to their high school edu- cation, only ten per cent felt that perhap s they weren t " adequately " prepared fo r college. Of these few, some said that the y would have liked to have had more col- lege preparatory classes than were avail - able. English instructors at the Univer- sity may be unhappy to learn that almos t 25 per cent listed English as their weak- est subject . However it must be note d that many put English at the top of th e list-which indicates that among today' s high school students, English is either th e best subject or among their poorest . An - other ten per cent of those questioned ex - pressed a desire for more foreign lan- guages to be taught in high schools . EVIDENTLY THE CLASS OF 63 has no tlet the current " space age " and em- phasis on science influence their choic e of study to any degree . Only six per cen t said that the space age influenced thei r decision while 12 per cent admitted tha t they " might " have been influenced t o some extent by the increased emphasis o n science. Most said that their curriculu m choice had been decided upon for som e time and that they were, in the words o f one, "Simply not inclined toward tha t area of study . " After all, " added another, " what would be the advantage of a society mad e up solely of scientists? " As the Class of 63 gets ready to tak e its place on the Oregon campus, gradua- tion seems a long time in the future . But when questioned as to what they thin k October-November 1959 Some attractive example s of the students new t o the University campus a s members of the Class o f '63-Sue Zwicker (above) and Joyc e Stephenson (at right .) Both are from . Salem. Warr Babies continued their class may contribute to improve th e freshmen have some positive concepts i n mind . Generally they agree that by doin g their best in every way and by attempt- ing to bring more understanding to th e people of the world will be their bigges t role. Many agreed with one comment tha t "what is required of the Class of '63 is t o prepare themselves for fields of unselfis h service rather than personal gain so tha t our society will be a much better plac e in which to live ." For the most part the Class of '63 seems positive that the biggest contribu- tion they can make is to "obtain and re- tain to the best of our ability as much o f our education as we possibly can and t o use this education in bettering the world ." Concludes Anna Holein, the pre-busines s major from Sandpoint, "Knowledge i s of no value unless put to use ." FROM THEIR OWN POINT of view an dthat of others, it is obvious that th e war babies are bringing quality as wel l as quantity to the campus, But regardles s of how good the quality, quantity remain s a serious problem . What will have hap- pened by 1970? One thing is almost cer- tain . Despite classroom television, longe r class days, increased junior college pro - grams, more trade and vocationa l schools. and more dormitories, college s will be hard pressed to handle the crisi s in education . Most experts are not being too bol d when they predict that more money mus t be spent and more educators must b e available to handle the crowds . Som e 1,885 colleges that spent $3,700,000,00 0 in 1957-58 to increase facilities will hav e to be spending about seven to nine billio n dollars in 1969 .70 to keep up . To attrac t more top-notch faculty members Presi- dent Eisenhower 's Committee on Educa- tion Beyond the High School has recom- mended a doubling of the average facult y salary and an improving of facult y "fringe benefits ." The responsibility for providing th e faculty and facilities to educate the wa r babies will be on the taxpayer . Will th e cost be worth it? Judge for yourself fro m these words of a member of the Class o f '63 . . . "The world of today and the fu- ture demands a higher degree of educa- tion not only for our leaders but for thos e in the ordinary walks of life . Knowledg e is the one indestructible asset, couple d with faith in God, which eventuall y should lead to world understanding be- tween races and nations and ultimat e peace. 6 Old Oregon Eugene Public Librar y Eugene, Orego n CC1To... No, INEVER THOUGHT when I returned to Ore - v gon in 1916 that I 'd make a career of educationa l administration ." Karl William Onthank, who last year retired his post a s director of graduate placement and employment after near- ly a half-century University career, nods his balding hea d and reveals a bit of the past in his quick dark eyes as h e speaks of his early career, when Prince Campbell was Ore- gon 's president . "He was a great administrator, and a great man," say s Onthank, -`and I just wanted to work for him at the time , not really looking too far into the future ." Actually Onthank's career at the University began ex- actly 50 years ago this fall, when he remembers gettin g off the Southern Pacific train . taking a streetcar to Friendl y Hall and enrolling as a freshman in engineering . Uppe r Friendly Hall was "at that time the men 's dorm, with class - rooms, offices, and a library downstairs ." The rest of the campus then consisted of the origina l Deady and Villard Halls ; Fenton, then a library ; a men 's gymnasium ; and McClure Hall . the engineering buildin g now a part of the new Lawrence Hall . South of 13th Avenue, Onthank recalls, was located Col - lier Hall, now the Faculty Club . The upstairs was occupie d by the president and his family, the downstairs by librar y books. Mary Speller Hall housed about 25 to 30 girls, an d the Kincaid Athletic Field was located in the approximat e vicinity of the library quadrangle . "I began in engineering, " says Onthank, "because I noticed that friends graduating ahead of me were gettin g seventy-five dollars a month and felt lucky getting it . The n I was offered a hundred dollars to teach, so I started takin g preparatory teaching courses my senior year . "Actually, I tried graduating in journalism, too . I worked with Dean Eric Allen his first year here, but th e journalism department was too young for me to ge t enough credits for graduation, so I took French . Really , I graduated in French? " While an undergraduate student Onthank was active o n the freshman football team and in the campus YMCA . His high academic standing earned him membership in Friars , senior men's lifetime honorary, and he is the only perso n ever to be elected to editorship of both the Emerald and th e Oregana . His early college days coinciding with a period of fra- ternity growth on campus, Onthank joined a local organi- zation which later affiliated with Alpha Tau Omega . Upon his graduation in 1913 he returned to his home , 7 itttrl C~nthank sti t lied i n li train int fall . 1909 . Now il1.(ei tt_trj later, he beii t. h(ltore at Nu~iteconi n Hood River, to become principal o f Frankton School for a year . From ther e he went to Tillamook to work in publi c education until the fall of 1916, when h e returned to work as President Camp - bell's secretary, launching the adminis- trative career which was to bring hi m close to the lives and hearts of Orego n educators and students for nearly half a century . In 1930 Secretary Onthank, by no w having earned his MA (1915) and havin g subsequently studied at Columbia an d Stanford Universities, was appointe d dean of personnel administration, a pos t in which he served until 1948, when th e office he retired from last year was cre- ated . As associate dean of student affairs , another newly-created post, Onthan k worked closely with Student Affairs Di - rector Donald DuShane in helping re - vamp Oregon 's administrative structure . "There were many administrativ e changes . largely due to post-war condi- tions, over a two or three year period, " explains Onthank . "We began to realiz e that previously the dean of men 's an d dean of wome n's offices had not been to o well coordinated or developed . It wa s during this post-war growth spurt tha t the Office of Student Affairs was cre- ated ." T HE JOB OF "PLACING " graduate sloomed especially necessary with th e influx of veterans, and Onthank ha s taken great satisfaction in "helping grad- uates to land on their feet . "We felt our obligation was not onl y to educate them-we weren 't through un- til we got them in contact with a job ." His most specific contact with pro- spective employers has come through hi s work as permanent secretary of the Ore- gon Mothers ' and Dads' Clubs (both or- ganizations he helped to found) and as a correspondent to alumni everywhere . Onthank explain§ his fondness for call - ing his placement office a "broker 's agen- cy" : "It's a good name for it-we don 't actually `place ' anybody ; we just brin g the graduate and employer together . And smiling : "It 's more the role of a broker ." Other activities have kept the educato r busy over the years, activities which le d Dean DuShane to point him out as "an outstanding citizen, both to the commun- ity and the University ." Conservation of natural resources i s one of Onthank 's pet projects, alway s having been an outdoorsman, appreci- ative of natural beauty. His wife Ruth i s an amateur botanist, and they have al - Onthank, long an enthusiast for the out - of-doors, views Cascade Mountain coun- try from high point on Rigdon Mountain . ways enjoyed hiking and camping, espe- cially in the wooded Columbia Rive r area around his boyhood home, Hoo d River . "We began to discover that spots we used to know weren 't there anymore, " he says, "so we started to get concerne d over natural resource conservation ." He now devotes quite a bit of time t o this project . A member of the Obsidian s of Eugene, Oregon State Water Re - sources Board, Columbia Basin Inter - Agency Commission, Lane County Par k and Recreation Commission, lzaac Wal- ton League, and Friends of the Thre e Sisters Wilderness, Inc ., Onthank ha s published many articles in various out - doors periodicals as president of the Fed- eration of Western Outdoors Clubs . He helped organize the Lane Count y Recreation Bureau, signifying his inter- est in aspects of outdoor recreation othe r than wilderness . Water, too, is of specia l concern to him . "Actually a good deal can be don e about saving beautiful spots . But wate r is becoming a tough problem, even i n Oregon . We can't take it for granted, lik e. air . "Air!

" A RE THERE ANY significant change swhich have been recently made - or should be made-at the University ? "No, there 's really nothing new unde r the sun, as the saying goes . We try ne w systems, plans, and ideas, often repeat- ing the same old mistakes . It doesn 't al - ways depend upon the system . but mor e in how it 's administrated . "Universities tend to continue," say s Onthank . "They 're enduring and con- servative . withstanding experiences eve n such as Hitler gave Germany ." Onthank is pleased to see the advent o f the Honors College at Oregon which "wil l provide a boost for those who want t o study more ." Optimistic by nature, Onthank ha s been quoted as saying conservation o f our human resources is the most impor- tant of all . "The greatest tragedy of college, " he says, "is the failure of students to mak e use of their ability . We must all keep con - fidence and approach difficulties not wit h fear, but with preparation ." Concerning his half-century career , Onthank believes he could not hav e chosen better in advance . "It 's been ver y gratifying, to see young people engage d in such a most satisfactory occupation - learning, growing, expanding, going ou t into the world to find their places . An d to see them go out and do well is especi- ally satisfying ." He knows what he 's talking about - his three daughters (two of them are stil l living) were all graduated Phi Beta Kap- pa, and a lot of credit may go to Dad . What are his plans for the future ? Besides visiting his two daughters an d eight grandchildren, Onthank hopes t o continue his work in conservation an d alumni organizations, especially Friars . The Friars are planning a "semi-Centen- nial" this fall, and Onthank is still pub- lishing a mimeographed newsletter, a project begun during World War II , containing news he receives from fello w Friars . Listing his hobbies as travel, books an d mountaineering, Onthank is also wel l known locally as a Rotarian, Mason, an d Congregationalist Church member .

In fact, I 've got enough work laid out to last me unti l I'm a hundred, anyway ." 8 Old Oregon Old Oregon Roundu p Here news from Oregon . . . a diverse and sundry collection of interesting an factual items on and about the campu OSC and the ibi s University of Oregon President 0 . Meredith Wilson was his usual soft - spoken self at the State Board of Highe r Education meetings in Portland in mid - September . But his point was clear-th e University of Oregon takes a dim view o f Oregon State College 's proposal to estab- lish major courses in liberal arts at th e Corvallis campus . The point became obvious during th e second day when the curriculum com- mittee heard comments from president s of all of Oregon 's state-supported col- leges. A . L. Strand, president of Orego n State College, spoke first, outlining th e college's proposal which was originall y made at a board meeting last April . H e said that while he heartily agreed with th e state system and the "allocations" setu p whereby certain types of courses ar e granted to certain institutions, he felt tha t liberal arts should not be subject to allo- cations within the state system . "Libera l arts, " he added, "should be subject t o allocations only at the advanced level o f specialization ." Following Strand's talk, Chancello r John R . Richards brought up the pro- posal that the name of Oregon State Col- lege be renamed "Oregon State Univer- sity," particularly if the board grante d the requested liberal arts majors . President Wilson spoke next, deliver- ing objections that press, public an d alumni had more or less expected . Es- sence of the president's remarks : "If th e board discards the allocations system an d grants OSC request for liberal arts, i t will have before it a request for an en- gineering program at the U . of 0 ." President Wilson spoke for an hour , carefully documenting the University 's objections to the granting of a liberal art s program at OSC . Main points of the presi - dent 's remarks : We would have no objection to th e change of name to Oregon State Univer- sity, although I would like to point ou t that in a system dedicated to the proposi- tion that each institution serves a dis - tinctive purpose and that it 's importan t to preserve this distinction, some quali- fication of the title may seem appropriat e -such as Oregon State University of Sci - ence and Technology . If there is a careful protection o f current allocations except in the field o f liberal arts, then there will be virtuall y nothing left that is exclusive to the Uni- versity. If you are willing to move toward a point where you have at the apex of th e state system two identical twins you wil l have wasted your resources . The prestige of a college depends o n one's view of a mission of a college . I n the United States there is no academi c distinction greater than that achieved b y Cal Tech or the Massachusetts Institut e of Technology-the former makes n o pretense of having majors in liberal art s and the latter, although it has five area s in the humanities in which majors ar e available, places main emphasis on en- gineering and sciences . The president suggested that the prob- lem might best be solved by adjusting re- cruiting methods than by allocations . He noted several instances wherein OSC, through its catalog or through letters t o prospective students, had clearly implie d that majors in liberal arts were alread y available at OSC . The board took no action on the mat - ter, but will undertake further discussion s with a decision indicated at its Januar y meeting . Fire at Sigma N u The five men lay awake listening t o the buzzer system that signalled mealtim e at the Sigma Nu Fraternity House o n East 11th Avenue . But it wasn't meal - time ; it was 2 a .m. on September 9 . "We were getting kind of mad, " re - called Ed (Stuffy) Deschamps, hous e president and one of the five . "We thought someone was playing a prank ." No prank, the ringing buzzer syste m was credited with sounding the alarm i n time for the five to escape the $75,00 0 fire that destroyed the inside of the Sig - ma Nu house, leaving only the outsid e walls standing . The buzzer sounded fro m an apparent short circuit . When they finally realized the buildin g was on fire, the men beat a hasty exit . "I grabbed three shirts in desperation, " said AI Craig . Ed Deschamps, after dis- covering smoke in the building, planne d to return for a pair of pants, but thought Photo : Joe Matheson . Register-Guar d Smoke pours from the Sigma Nu Hous e as Eugene firemen work to'bring fire un- der control . Damage was about $75,000 . October-November 1959 9 better of it and groped his way safely ou t through thick smoke . The 36-year-old building was a tota l loss, but fully insured . To turn in the alarm, Charles Tourvill e had to break a window of a nearby res- taurant to get to a telephone . All th e Sigma Nu House phones were pa y phones, and nobody had a dime handy . Fraternity officials are discussing plan s for rebuilding, and in the meantime th e 45 members are housed in the old Vet s Dormitory . Electronic journalism "Electronic journalism is not going t o replace the printed page, " in the opinio n of Malcolm Bauer '35. associate edito r of the Oregonian and a banquet speake r in connection with the national conven- tion of the Association for Education i n Journalism held on campus in August . Bauer declared that the newspape r should leave the "flash and spot " news treatment to radio and television an d strive to give the reader the significanc e of the news . "Newspapers should give readers som e indication," he said firmly, "that ther e is more to education than football, mor e to science than rockets-more, muc h more, to all of life than will ever appea r on the surface of a television tube ." He said newspapers have largely ig- nored the shift in interest from spectato r sports to participator sports (e .g.. camp- ing, boating) and the revolution in paper - hooks and other phases of the arts . "Most newspapers give more space to recipe s than to all the arts combined, " he sai d grimly . The AEJ convention, first held at a West Coast school, drew a record 40 0 delegates and families . As a fitting wind - up of the activities, the delegates electe d Oregon's journalism dean, Charles T . Ducart, as first vice president of the asso - ciation (this means he will automaticall y become president for 1960-611 . Cooperation of the art s About as unique a group as has foun d its way to the campus lately is an assem- blage of eight contemporary artists wh o call themselves "the Ilybrids ." In exis- tence since last spring, the Hybrids num- ber among their members three painters , two sculptors, a lithographer, a weave r and a designer-seven men and on e woman . Explaining the workings of the organi- zation, Sculptor Charles Forrester note s that the Hybrids have no officers and n o dues . "We may meet once a week or onc e in two months," he adds, "but we ar e always in close contact with each other ." The Hybrids got their start whe n Thyrza Anderson opened a new art gal - lery on 12th Street in Eugene, and wante d artists to exhibit their handiwork . "Some people got together," said Forrester, "an d invited others . That was the start of th e Hybrids-they wanted to give the ide a of the arts cooperating as was the case i n the Middle Ages ." Goal of the Hybrids : "Concerted, co - operative, copious contribution to art i n the community ." "We don 't have just artistic talen t in our group," says Forrester . "We paint , carve and so forth, from a compellin g inner urge . But neither are we beginner s -we are professionals . We have all ex- hibited in various places ." Jan Zach, resident sculptor who i s close to the Hybrids declares : "I am con- fident only in teamwork ." Wallace Baldinger, art professor, ap- proves . "Let the painter associate wit h the sculptor, the potter, the weaver, th e metalworker, the architect . But let hi m bring his own creations to bear on th e creations of his fellows in their separate- ly distinctive fields, and, in the free give - and-take which follows, the works of al l the associates are bound to find a ne w sense of direction, to prosper and multi - Ply ',Baldinger likes their name . "To cal l something "hybrid' is usually meant t o disparage it . In the organic world, how - ever, a hybrid can mean something ex- ceptionally strong and virile, unprece- dented, fit for tasks which the thorough - bred is too weak to undertake ." Each member has an interesting com- ment to make about his chosen art . Eris (Ervins An tons) lithographer : "Color lithography offers a new imagin- ary world for creation ." Walter Hannula, sculptor : "I like t o think of my sculpture as being strong , massive, solid, sensuous, compact, plain , sturdy, simple, suggestive, necessaril y sornewhat abstract, appealing to the ey e and especially to the touch, and posses - sing, as well, some inner life ." Mark Clarke, painter : "My paintin g has an intuitive approach ." Marie Hatch, weaver : "Weaving is a medium through which design, self ex- pression, history, culture patterns an d society can be explored ." Kenneth Keefer, painter : "A canva s or sheet of paper becomes a kind of uni- verse where I find the control not grante d elsewhere." Willard Martin, designer : "Specializa- tion in the arts would be a limitation fo r me. They are each a result of that won- derful gift of human expression and th e same basic mental activities are necessar y Coming Events on the Campu s October 6 Assembly-Congresswoman Edith Gree n 7 Hearing of the Sub-Committee on the Oregon Dunes National Seashore Par k 10 Sophomore Whiskerin o 12 Civic Music Concer t 14 Marine Band Concer t 15 University Trio Concer t 15-17 Oregon High School Press Conferenc e 17 Football, USAF (at Portland ) 20-21 Charter Da y 24 Oregon High School Broadcasters Conferenc e 24 Football, Washington (Portland ) 27 Federal Career Da y 27 Foreign Student Receptio n 30 Frosh Talent Show 31 Cascade Callers Square Dance Association Demonstratio n November 1 YWCA Smorgasbor d 3 Assembly-Arthur Benachowski, Film-Lecture on Polan d 5-6 Oregon School Board Association Conferenc e 6 Failing Concert-Claremont Quarte t 7 Oregon Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conferenc e 7 Football, California (at Portland ) 9-12 World Affairs Wee k 9 Civic Music Concer t 13-14 High School Future Teachers of America Conferenc e 20-22 Homecoming, game with OSC (Nov . 21) 26-29 Thanksgiving Vacatio n 27-28 American Philological Association National Conferenc e December 4-5 Oregon Business Education Association Conferenc e 4-5 Basketball, Fresno State College, Eugen e 11-13 Closed Weeken d 14-19 Final Examination s 19 Basketball, Colorado State College, Eugen e 21-22 Basketball, San Jose State College, Eugene Old Oregon in the formation of an idea for a spoo n or a city plan ." Paul Tetzner, painter : "1 am attempt- ing a sort of fourth dimensional ches s game using light as a medium an d `time' as a compositional element ." Charles Forrester probably sums u p the attitude of the whole group in the de - scription of his particular art : "My in- terpretation of sculpture is offered not a s a negation of the past but rather a growt h orientated toward the future ." A dream of the artists, still in th e "hoping " stage, is to combine their tal- ents to decorate the new Eugene publi c library building . Another future goal : a monument for the top of Skinner 's Butte in Eugene . -CONSTANCE SCHROEDE R Paddle whack s Fraternity gatherings are addresse d all too often by "alumni who speak i n sophomoric phrases, " declared the gov- ernor of Oregon in September . He prom- ised to be different-to "speak frankly " in addressing a national convention o f Chi Psi fraternity on the University cam - pus in September . Thus Governor Mark Hatfield, a fra- ternity alumnus himself (Beta Theta Pi , Willamette University) and one-tim e dean of men at Willamette, administere d a series of paddle whacks of his own i n addressing the 150 delegates present . Samples of his off-the-cuff commentary : "Too often the fraternity 's only ef- fort toward intellectualism is a whack o n the posterior . . . This so-called moral de - velopment which fraternities talk abou t should be more than providing a way fo r a 17-year-old to get beer despite loca l and state law ." "Sometimes the fraternity system 's intellectual, moral and social program s turn into beer busts, brawls and emphasi s on brawn ." "We shouldn 't kid ourselves tha t since we won a trophy once or came i n second three times, or since our hous e GPA is three percentiles above the cam - pus average, we are an intellectual forc e . . . Intellectualism is not trophies or eve n grades-i t's the challenge of learning t o think for ourselves ." The governor concluded : "I hope Ch i Psi will give life to its ideals and through self-analysis, look to the intellectual, mor - al and social aspects of your goals ." When this is done, he added, "the publi c will thank you for your contribution s and those antagonistic to the fraternit y system will have no ammunition ." The student buye r The businessmen who have establishe d stores on East 13th Street next to th e campus, recently offered us a commen t or two about the buying habits and cus- toms of University students . We asked a question about buying trends dow n through the years and found that the mos t noticeable difference today, as compare d to ten years ago, is the complete rejec- tion of anything "Oregon . Pennants , plaques, stationery or jewelry that spel l U. of O. is out, according to druggist Si d Claypool, senior citizen of the near - campus businessmen . Anything but th e plush "Puddles " ducks receives a col d reception. Contemporary greeting cards and th e "Little Horribles" figurines symboliz e the current rejection of anything senti- mental . "Students today are afraid t o make any outward show of sentiment bu t when things go wrong they will cry o n your shoulder as quickly as they did te n years ago, " says Claypool . If students today are less senti - mental than they were ten years ago , they are also more conscious of value , better judges of quality and bette r dressed. All the businessmen agreed o n these points . "The student knows jus t what he wants, " said Mr . Baker of Bil l Baker's Men 's Wear, "and will seldo m accept a substitute ." They know thei r fabrics, style and manufacturers, al - though brand names are only importan t if they have proven their quality . `Wash- n-wear ' fabrics are not an important sell- ing point according to all but one of th e businessman, Kieth Fennell of Fennell 's Men's Wear . This may be explained by the fact tha t Fennell attributes only 25 per cent of hi s dollar business to student buying whil e the other stores quoted figures as high a s 75 and 80 per cent . "Students don't car e but the housewife and business man ar e very much aware of the easy-care label, " said Fennell . Ivy League is still very much in th e picture and will be so long as designer s in the East dictate men 's fashion . Bake r said that shirts in this style still sell te n to one over other styles but suits are no t so popular . While the East is still th e fashion center for men's wear the Wes t has taken over in designing women 's clothing . ` Girls prefer the easy stylin g that goes with our casual way of life, " said Helen Naugle of the Westgate Shop , "but they want something exclusive i n better dresses and formals ." Coeds dress less formally than they did ten years ago but men wear more forma l clothes. We seldom sec business suits o r slacks and sport jackets at a formal danc e today and this was not too unusual a fe w years ago . Most of the men students ren t their formal wear and both Baker 's an d Fennell's conduct a lively rental service . "Colors will remain dark as long a s Ivy League is popular, " said Fennell . Men will probably never wear much hig h color because good taste rejects it . "W e show five colors in formal jackets but i t is silly because white is still first choice ." Gone is the day of the blue-jean , sloppy-joe clad student . Today 's studen t spends no more money but is bette r dressed because he is better informed an d more discerning of quality . -CLEDA VOSSEN '4 2 Challenge of Milto n Kester Svendsen, a handsome ma n with iron-gray hair styled in crew-cut , recently took over as head of the Univer- sity's English Department : "I 'm just a beginner in administration, " he says . "but I'm learning fast to say `no' with- out sounding pompous or perverse ." The new department head comes fro m a distinguished 19-year teaching caree r at the University of Oklahoma . He i s a nationally recognized authority on th e English poet, John (Paradise Lost) Mil - ton. And those who find Milton 's work s unduly d igicult might take heed of Svend - sen's experience . "When I was in high school and col - i.is English Department Head Kester Svend- sett .: "We need more study of foreig n languages in this country 's colleges ." October-November 1959 11 On Campus & Quotabl e Dr . Rudolf Drcikurs, visiting professor of psychiatry giving two definition s of a psychotic to a summer counselling class : "A psychotic builds castles i n the air, the neurotic moves in, and the psychiatrist collects the rent. Definitio n No. 2: A psychotic believes that 2 plus 2 are 5 ; the neurotic knows that 2 plu s 2 are 4, but he hates it ." Music Composer Roger Sessions . guest artist for the Summer Academy o f Contemporary Arts : "1 like some music I know isn't very good, and don' t like some that I know is good . . . People tend to assume that the public want s `junk ' [in popular music] and so they give them junk . The public doesn 't really have much to say about it ." Harlan Cleveland, dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship, Syracus e University, discussing anti-U .S. attitudes of other countries in L . O. lecture : "People see America as an awkward, exasperating puppy . They are worrie d about our impatience, because they are afraid of our strength, primarily ou r military strength and the fact that we carry the hydrogen bomb in our pocket ." University President 0 . M . Wilson (Charge to the Graduating Class, Jun e 14) : "To be a beatnik requires only that you resign yourself to live in the hope - less state we have prepared for you . To be a man requires much more of you ." lcge," he commented, "Milton's poetr y seemed enigmatic and forbidding-diffi- cult to understand . I felt challenged, got interested and as a result, both my mas- ter's and doctor's degrees at the Univer- sity of North Carolina were done on Mil - ton ." So great was the challenge of Milto n that Svendsen has written a book (Milton and Science, Harvard University Press) , another 75 articles and reviews, and is a charter member of the Milton Society o f America . After all that work . does he now under - stand Milton? That's a "Have-you- stopped-beating-your-wife " type of ques- tion if he ever heard one, Svendse n quipped . He allowed that he understands th e "large design " of Milton's works an d that he 's able to relate his thoughts t o those of the times . "But understanding a poem is like un- derstanding a cathedral or a painting . After one has worked out all the shade s of meaning, all the complexities of struc- ture and order, all the aesthetically op- erative elements, there remains a grea t deal that resists verbalization . Under - standing a work of art involves precisin g one's emotional response as well as one' s intellectual apprehension of it . This i s what is meant when one says that eac h time he returns to Shakespeare's Hamlet or to Milto n's Paradise Lost he gets some- thing more out of it ." Though a "beginner " in administra- tion, Svendsen qualifies as an expert o n many other fields, and offered these com - ments in a recent interview . Oregon's English Department : "One of the three best undergraduate English departments on the West Coast . . . A n English department teaches skills . We tell students how to write, then we analyz e their written exercises and suggest im- provements ; and then we require mor e practice until they are competent in th e art of expressing facts and ideas . Simi- larly, even the most advanced course i n literature is a skills course, for we ar e training people in the understanding o f great art and in the aesthetic experienc e of it ." Languages : "One of our nation 's greatest handicaps in world affairs i s that most of our citizens can read, writ e and speak only one language . That is wh y our foreign language program should b e encouraged, increased and developed . Our colleges and universities should never graduate students who have n o reading-writing-speaking ability of a t least one foreign language and prefer - ably two ." Educational TV ( based on wide ex- perience as television lecturer) : "Tele- vision will never take the place of th e teacher in the classroom . There must b e a person-to-person relationship in the ex- perience of any art . The essence of teach- ing literature courses is this personal ex - change. And a TV set can't answer ques- tions . In most universities, however, T V will probably be used more and more t o instruct massive sections of literatur e courses at low cost and to enlarge th e classroom of great teachers . But for m e it will never be anything more than a valuable supplement ."

C . P . Moble y (right) and Nurseryman John B. Woods examine shipment of trees . CORK MOBLEY 1 : "THE GREEN ACTION " A s NEWLY-APPOINTED advertising di -rector for Blitz-Weinhard Compan y ("Oregon 's largest & only brewery " ), C. P . (Cork) Mobley '51 admits to hav- ing had a hand in a number of project s that have attracted wide attention . Tak e this "Keep the World Green " project, fo r example . Through newspaper and magazine ad- vertisements, Blitz offered to send tin y seedling fir trees free of charge to any - one anywhere . The pitch : Promotion fo r Oregon 's Centennial and good will fo r Blitz. "Just picture what reforestation wil l do for Times Square," proclaimed a Blit z ad in the New Yorker . "Cool and green , teeming with game, salmon swimmin g up the Pepsi-Cola sign to spawn . . ." Blitz got 90,000 takers for the trees . Ex-President Harry Truman has one - "It is being planted on the grounds o f my new library, " wrote the former Pres- ident, "and I only wish I could be aroun d when it reaches full growth ." "Man, oh man, did I dig your existen- tialist ad Ye Olde New Yorker," wrot e a city dweller . Responded another : "1 dig the green action ; way out . Unfortu- nately I'm stoned . . . encased, bric k walls, cave dweller, like that . . . Will thi s crazy Oregon fir expand, spread its wings , photosynthesize ; like I mean, grow, man , grow? So if a fire escape will be a legi t daddy-o to this celestial hunk of clarine t reeds wrapped with green Scotch tape , well then proceed promptly, parcel post ." Mobley's "hand" in the "green ac- tion" : "I sat in on the planning sessio n where the idea was born," he explained . "We had an idea for an Oregon `Do-It- Yourself-Kit ' but everyone was in a quandary as to what to put in it . We ra n the gamut of seeds, soil, water, etc ., an d then I remembered hearing of someon e sending seedling fir trees through the . mails . I suggested that idea . . . I gues s everyone was weakened, because the ide a was adopted and we went on from there ." The "green action " was but one o f several Centennial promotions in whic h Adman Mobley had a hand . The compan y is a leader toward humorous radio an d TV advertising such as the "Cascades i n the Bottle " promotion (kibitzer kept ask- ing a harassed announcer how Cascade Mountains got in the bottle) and th e current "Down through history with th e Blitz-Weinhard Company ." Regarding the humor trend, Moble y offers this comment : "There are reall y two parts to the trend . One is to merel y be funny in association with a produc t and hope the good will rubs off . The other is to present your selling message in a humorous frame of reference in order t o penetrate the massive indifference to ad- vertising that sometimes builds up in th e public mind . An advertising campaig n like our `Cascade' bit seemed to fall to o much in the first category-we got recog- nition and identification, but not enoug h reason to purchase our product seeme d to penetrate . We're trying to correct, tha t aspect in our present campaign ." Mobley says his U . of O . friends wer e happy to hear h e'd gone to work for Blitz , "because it would have been a shame t o waste all that research I did at Max 's, Taylors, Fiji Meadows, etc . . . . This i s a great company, with young and pro- gressive management, and if things kee p going as they have, we 'll be in busines s for at least another 103 years ."

The walk out Alder, too, used to he shunned in my day s because so many profs moved out that way . My! my! those dear old times! Gerty, you will meet all sorts of people-boys in particular . You 'll meet the senior who will take a fatherly interest in you, and the n instruct some freshman at his house to take you to the next dance . Don't put much fait h in seniors, dear-they are so fickle and forgetful . The junior you meet will flirt dread - fully . Beware those jolly juniors with their corduroys and pipes! Perhaps some soph will tell you all his troubles . Sophs always have trouble . They 'll tell you most anything , too . But never pump-it's so hard to keep what you find out . But the freshmen-Il l trust you with them, Gertrude, because I know you won 't care for freshmen very much . They will remind you too much of home and the neighborhood . But Gerty, I must close . I have literally rambled on for many pages . I know you'l l have such a good time down there . Take it all but don 't let your head get turned . I mus t stop now for I hear Ted coming .

These three teams share with footbal l the task of mixing rookie with veteran i n the effort to find the recipe for a winnin g season . Coach Casanova's footballers had 2 4 sophomores among a squad of 45 whe n the season opened and it was on th e shoulders of the rookies who man th e second and third units that much of th e success of the season rests . Towering ; 222-pound Riley Mattson at left tackle and stocky sophomore Jo e Clesceri at center were among the firs t to prove themselves as top notch replace- ments in the rugged competition th e Ducks face, and others like guard s George Luna, Mike Rose, Gary Farne y and Stu Pillette (all sophomores) a t guard and Jack Stone at tackle weren 't far behind . In the backfield the rookie who caugh t most of the attention early in the yea r was Cleveland Jones, the diminutive righ t halfback who teams with veteran Do n Laudenslager and Harry Needham t o give the Webfoots the pleasant luxury o f two fine sets of running hacks . T HE BASKETBALL PICTURE for the com-ing season is much the same, wit h Coach Belk() looking to a fine rookie cro p for the much-needed depth which ha s been missing in Oregon basketball fo r the last half-dozen seasons . There are six lettermen returning fro m the 1959 squad, and this group is heade d by four of last year's starters, Stu Robert - son and Denny Strickland at forward , Dale Herron at center, and Chuck bask a t guard . Only Captain Bud Kuykendall i s missing. Additionally, forward Jerry Anderso n and guard Butch Kimpton come bac k from the 58-59 lettermen . plus reserve s Bob I-lunt at forward and Leon Hayes a t guard . At least four of the members of th e 1(359 undefeated freshman team ar e tabbed as real help to the varsity in thei r first year . Duck fans will be happy to se e Glen Moore at center, Charlie Warre n and Wally Knecht at forward and Joh n Mack at either a guard or a forward wit h the varsity squad . The first three are all 6-5 and up, whil e Mack (6-3) can jump like a 6-6 man . Add to this a couple of junior college trans- fers, and the Webfoots may be on thei r way to solving some of the short benc h problems which have plagued Coach Bel- ko in the early stages of his rebuildin g program for the Ducks . One of the early moves for the Web - foots when they open practice on Octobe r 1 ) to guard to join Rask, Kimpton, Haye s and probably Mack . This still leaves three letttermen, plu s Moore . Warren and Knecht, to man th e front line, a far more promising arra y in the matter of depth than has bee n available recently . The Ducks meet Fresno State . Colo- rado State and San Jose State at Home , plus the Montana Invitational tourna- ment with San Francisco, Oklahoma Cit y and host Montana State, in the key earl y games . The next six weeks of preliminar y work for the veterans and rookies ar e vitally important to the success of th e 1959-60 basketball season . Swimming comes back to the Orego n athletic scene after an unwelcome absenc e of several years and the renewal of th e sport will be highlighted by the inaugu- ration of one of the nation 's finest pool s to competitive swimming and the debu t of Coach Van Rossen, formerly of Illinoi s and one of the more agressive youn g coaches in the country . at Oregon . Here, again, youth is a feature of th e squad as the new Duck coach starts t o build toward returning Oregon to its ol d place of prominence in northwest swim- ming . The same is basically true for the wres- tlers under Coach Rueter, who lost ver y little from his 1959 squad and hopes t o add enough rookies to again field a fin e squad . Much more will be heard fro m them when they wind up their pre-seaso n practice and get into competition .

Why doesn th e Class of 7 have a class secretary, and wh y hasn there been a request made in the OLD OREGON for a volunteer?

"Man," the youngsters said in unison , "like clue us . What 's this war-baby bit? " Well, the way I see it through m y green and lemo n lenses, the war-ba- bies are a resul t not so much of a n increased b i r t h rate as of Ameri- ca's love for a catchword . I, for example . was called a "de- pression baby ." - My brother, born neither during a wa r nor a depression, was called simply a "cry baby ." The India rubber man at th e circus was a "bouncing baby ." And s o on. But I digress . I was speaking of young- sters new to college . And in that regard, may I doff my rain - hat to the new freshmen? For you see , they are the leaders of tomorrow . The y are the cream of the war-baby crop .

"you atten d class, do homework, take tests, stand i n line, wear beanies, plan careers, eat gree n vegetables . . ." "It sounds like a drag," they said . " Oh, no ," I said, "you also play bridge , drink coffee, join clubs, make fun of for- eign students, eat hamburgers, double - date, elect officers . . ." "It sounds square, " they said . " Quite the contrary ." I said, "you als o read catalogues, lose your health, tea r down goalposts, sing the fight sing, smok e cigarettes, stay up all night, wear raccoo n coats, drive Stutz Bearcats . . ." "Man, you're buggin' us," they said , reaching in the pockets of their leathe r jackets . " And you know what happen s when you bug a teenager ." " Certainly-" I said, beating a hast y retreat, " you get maimed ." With the click of switchblades ringin g in my ears, I rushed home to contemplat e the influx of new blood to be seen i n American colleges . You may take tha t literally, or otherwise, as you wish . One of the reasons college seems ne w and different to the incoming freshman i s that he conies in contact with a peculia r jargon . However . as he becomes acquainte d with the argot he soon finds that he ca n express his own lack of thought in th e same phrases as his peers, and by the tim e he graduates no one can understand him . The following glossary . by no mean s exhaustive, will give the new student a basic academic vocabulary . Alumni ma y have a nostalgic recollection of some o f the words : Rushing . Hurrying, usually fro m house to house . Pledging . Swearing off intoxicatin g beverages . This usually follows too muc h rushing . Pinning . Getting stuck on someone . Homecoming . When all the grad s come here to get loaded . Pop Quiz . Asking dad if he'll give yo u more money . GPA . Grade point atrocity, abbr . GI Bill . Nickname for an older stu- dent .

A LL You Kins arriving on th eOregon campus this fall ar e probably pretty excited and con - fused about all the wonderful an d exciting things that are waiting fo r you here at Oregon! We want t o clue you in here about one of th e really big deals . our athletic teams . Athletics are really an importan t part of your college life whethe r you participate as a participant o r merely watch from the sidelines a s a spectator . If you are going ou t for the team, it will build fine char - acter in you and teach you fai r play. If you watch the team fro m the bleachers, you will learn goo d sportsmanship and how to yell wit h the crowd . Well, let's talk about the Footbal l Team . We have six or seven hom e games this year and some of the m are in Eugene, and of course yo u are wondering what you shoul d wear. Regular campus clothes ar e in order or even "go grubby " (a term we use here at the U . for swea t shirts and jeans or any other rea l sloppy get-up) . The importan t thing is, BE YOURSELF! Come earl y and sit with your fraternity or sor- ority . Everybody yells "Pigger" a t the daters and naturally you 're wondering what " Pigger " means . It's a long story, but . . . Dating just isn't done at athleti c events unless you're married, o f course, and even then the bo y should look a little embarrassed . Funny hats for fraternity men ar e in order and rooter's lids, of course . for freshmen . All you girls will want to try ou t as song leaders . If you don 't hav e fat legs, why not give the rall y squad a try? So that you can wor k on it at home and be ready to g o at the first Big Game, we will giv e you the favorite yell here now . Very softly : O-O-O-R- E G-G-G-O-N O-R- E G-O- N OR EEGON ! A little louder : o-O-oat- E G-G-G-O-N o-R-I : G-O-N OR EEGON ! Top loudness (girls shriek) : o-O-O-R- E G-G-C-O- N O-R-E G-O-N OR EEGON ! Polish your technique and b e prepared to " yell swell" as we sa y here at the U . Now, a few of the games will b e played in Portland and take ou r word for it, this is Endsvillc fo r fun. Everyone gets into Portlan d Friday evening and each fraternit y has its own party somewher e around town . You 'll do a lot o f singing and "living it up " as w e say here at the U . One fraternity did a really funn y thing last year . For their part y everyone came dressed in wor k overalls and carried picks an d shovels. They put sawhorses acros s a street on the East Side Frida y evening and then hung red lantern s on them . By the time the part y broke up early Saturday morning , they had torn up the pavement fo r an entire block . The people of Port - land still chuckle over that . Some of you will want to go t o the game on Saturday and if yo u do, please remember who you ar e and what you represent . All of Port- land is looking at you and if yo u are bad sports it really leaves a black mark in the peoples' mouths . It's really bad to boo the referee s unless our coach goes out to argu e with them . If one of our fellow s gets an opponent 's star player ou t of the game by breaking his leg, o r something, it ' s really bad to laug h and cheer . Here at Oregon we giv e the injured player a big hand t o show that we respect his ability an d courage . Well, that ' s the athletic pictur e here at Oregon . Come to the cam - pus with lots of pep and spirit bu t remember, studies come befor e pleasure . See you at the game thi s fall when you "make the scene wit h the Lemon-Green ." ----BILL LANDERS '5 4 October-November 1959 27 The Ana/word. I N OUR Owls little unscientific manner ,we conducted an opinion survey thi s fall to take some samplings of opinio n from the incoming freshman class-th e class of 1963 . Sonic professors who are experts a t this type of thing might shudder at ou r lack of scientific method . For instance , we did not take an accurate cross-sectio n of opinion ; as a matter of fact we cheate d a little . The results are on page 3-an d if the answers to our questions speak wel l of the intelligence and good sense of ou r incoming freshmen, it 's probably becaus e of our cheating ways . Because we were seeking "quotable " quotes from our questionnaire and not a statistically significant response, we sen t questions only to the students whose hig h school scholastic work was above aver - age . We wanted answers that could b e presented to you, our readers, not espe- cially as representative of the freshma n class, but merely as indicative of the fac t that the University of Oregon is drawin g a good many freshmen of outstandin g scholastic ability - in short, freshme n who think for themselves . The freshmen quoted in our article on page 3 are prob- ably the ones you will hear a great dea l from in the next four years . I think the response to the question- naires calls for a number of interestin g observations . In response to our questio n as to the general impression incomin g freshmen had of the University of Ore- gon, there was general agreement that a university the size and stature of this on e is pretty much what you, the student , makes of it . You can spend your time i n "busy work " or you can spend it in pure- ly scholastic pursuits . Or you can balanc e it out to your satisfaction . This, as I un- derstand it . is the general impression o f the freshmen who answered our question- naire before coming onto the campus . I think it's a good answer-and a some - what idealistic one, for there are man y pressures to "conform " on this campus , and a desire on the part of the freshma n age group to he one of the gang . (As I understand it, it 's all right to be a "non - conformist" at Oregon so long as yo u don 't conform more or less in the sam e manner that everybody else doesn 't con - form .) But by and large the freshman student s who answered our questions are no t swayed by the University 's supposed "party school " or "country club " status. I doubt if such a status actually exists ex- cept in the rninds of some alumni wh o can recall nothing more significant tha n the "big blasts" down at the U . But le t me give you a couple of examples o f freshmen replies as to their impression s of the University : Nancy Miller, Salem : "A school com- prising many students with varying inter- ests and environmental backgrounds , with facilities and institutions designe d to satisfy the many needs and desires ." Molly Palmer, Portland : "I have hear d Oregon called a "country club" man y times . However since I have had the op- portunity to visit other colleges, I am con- vinced that this is not true of Oregon, an d that other schools can fit in this categor y better than Oregon ." These are typical, and, upon lookin g through 50 or so such replies, I read int o their answers the attitude that they d o not want to think of Oregon as a pla y school . And, thanks to the many improve- ments that have been made in scholasti c fields in recent years, they don 't have to . 1 feel confident that these are the fresh - men who will make the most of thei r years here at the University . -KEN METZLE R From New York Life's yearbook of successful insurance career men !
