Newest Member Speaks
Greetings to the Pioneer Log from the newest member
of rthe Lewis and \Clark family. You are a fine group. You
. have given me a real welcome into a stimulating environ
ment. My six weeks of residence on this beautiful campus
has been most pleasant and filled with experiences which
are precious. I trust that I have begun to get the feel and
spirit of the faculty and student body and that I, as well
as you, may have a revival of learning which will be com
parable to the re-birth which this college is experiencing
in its physical . properties and in its relationship to this com
munity.
Few times in the history of education has there existed
an opportunity for a sma1l college to build itself into a com
munity and a great region such as exists here and now for_
Lewis and Clark in this, one of the last physical frontiers
of out nation. President Odell and the trustees have caught
that vision. May we as faculty and students find our place
in this great human project.
As those pioneers, for wholl! this college is named, pre
ceeded civilization and charted a physical course, more than
a century ago, that has made their names immortal, so may
we chart an intellectual and cultural course which will tie
onto those names a craving for truth. May we with vision,
persistance and fortitude follow this craving through to the
fruitation of fuller lives, stirred intellects and stable Christ
ian characters which was so nobly lived by precept and ex
ample by the Master of Men.
Charles W. Howard, Dean
Press Toward the Mark
The most thrilling event in recent weeks at Lewis and
Clark was Dr. Odell's announcement of the post war expan
sion program .. Some students may be prone to say, "Why
should I be thrilled by a 25 year program? I shall be gradu-'
ated in two or three years." To anyone who may take this at
titude we can only say that every blessing of liberty that we
now have was made possible by the hard work and sacrifice
of individuals and groups. Let us .then, in keeping with the
pioneer spirit of our school, endeavor to the utmost of~ our
ability to make it. the best we can, not only for today, but
for future student bodies also.
Shall we then, "Forgetting those things which are behind,
press toward the mark for the prize"; the prize in this case
being· a great monument in the city of Portland: Then we
may say in years to come, "I had a definite part in the
pioneering and the building of this monumental institution!"
Others may say that this is just a "pipe dream". To this
we say that people laughed at Noah when he built the ark.
They also made fun of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam
boat. The Wright Brothers met with much ridicule while
working on the invention of the airplane. It is our earnest
hope that none of the present ·st'udent body will be among
those who feel foolish 25 years from now-foolish because
they refused to believe that these visions of things to be
would be made reality.
We firmly believe that this thing will succeed "because
it is right". Let's make this our motto, fellow students, and
we shall forever after be glad that we have done so.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We the students have been
very fortunate to have our own
room, and to furnish it the way
we like. Unfortunately not all
of the students are cooperating in
keeping this room in the best
condition, so that everyone can
enjoy its advantages . Now thnt
the final touches are being put
in to accommodate everyone let's
try and keep it as a place we can
have fun and relax, and not an
eyesore of the Women's build
ings.

TO THE EDITOR
Who's skipping chapel?
It looks as if most of us are.
We can be sure that the faculty
do not prepare these chapels for
their own enjoyment but they
are for the student body and for
our own good.
Then how about it? Is it be
cause we are not religious or that
we don't appreciate these things
or have we just been letting it
slip?
Just half the seats have been
occupied each time when e nave
had speakers such as Dr. Fay
Campbell, Dr. T. F. Hudson, Dr.
Thompson Shannon, Dr. Coleman 1
and others. tw It is a shame that
we let such people give their
time and effort to come· to speak
to us and then we deliberately
fail to give our time to hear them.
Maybe you think no one will
miss you if you don't come and
-maybe they won't. But you
will be the one to miss some
thing.
We don't want compulsory
chapel attendance do we? Well
then, come along. Show your
school spirit and be on time.

PERSONALITY 'OF
THE MONTH
One pt;rson on the Lewis and
Clark campus who is known for
getting things done is "our
black-haired darlin'," E;velyn
Sparlin. A junior, Evelyn is
president of the Amicans, soph
omore-junior women's honorary,
and president of the women's
dormitory.
Evelyn hails from Couer d'
Alene, Idaht>, but previously liv
ed in Portland and attended Mil
waukie Union high school
Her major is chemistry to pre
pare her to be a laboratory tech
nician. She plans to get her B.S.
degree here at Lewis and Clark.
Evelyn has a wide range of
interests. She is a member of
Sigma Rho sorority, Tri-Sci, the
Red Cross chapter, and is a re
porter for the Pioneer Log. She
likes to knit, sew, and cook, and
her hobby is listening to good
music (especially sympho_nic).
Just ask her how the army is,
and you'll learn that she has a
very special interest in 'the in
fantry.
She was recently honored
when she was selected for Who's
Who in American Colleges and
Universities.
Evelyn was a member of the
first group of students to live
on this campus, and already has
seen many changes. She con
tributed much time and effort
that first year in transforming
the estate into a place suitable
for a college campus.
Every inch of her five feet,
one inch in height is ~ull of en
ergy and pep. And she draws on
it unspal'ingly! To a girl who
has what it takes -personality
plus push-we offer our sincer
est wishes for the best of every-
thing in life. ·

Sparle's Parle
Have you noticed the comer-.
stone in front of the main ~n
trance to the Women's building?
In 18.92, that cornerstone was
laid at the Albany college when
the new building was completed.
There were no dormitorie~ in
those days, but an eating cluo
for men was established by Clara
Perry. The ·women lived in pri-
vate homes: -
Professor ~ Schmitt thought a
needed improvement would be a
colleg~ paper. The student body
orgamzed a joint stock company
in which twenty members took
one five-dollar share each
~~bat .ing soc;ieties flo~ishea
during this period. In 1892, Wil
lamette valley colleges held a de-·

Another activity which flour
ished was dramatics. Miss Moses,
the instructor, produced a real
masterpiece entitled "Battle of
the Amazons", in which the cos
tumes worn by the women real~
ly made them enter into the
spiri\ of the play. ' •

Scared Pledges -
If you see someone sneaking
around the corner with a bewild
ered and scared look on his fa-:e,
don't be alarmed. "It" is probably
one of the sorority or fraternity
pledges.
With so many new students
this fall, one can easily see how
hard it was to choose pledges .
Alpha Gamma sorority held its
formal rush tea on November 12.
Their tea was carried out with
a Hawaiian theme. On the fol
lowing Thursday evening they
held their preference party. To
make everything confusing and
different, they had a "backward"
party. nstead of hearing a cheery
"hello" when you came in the
door, you were greeted with a
sound "good-bye" and a "so glad·
you had a nice time". The des
sert was served first, followed
by spaghetti. Have you ever
tried eating spaghetti with a
knife? Well, it isn't easy. Coiors mean a lot to us dur
ing these dark, rainy days. They
furnish highlights for the ob
server as well as the wearer.

The Sigma Rho sorority held
their rush tea on November 14.
Their tea followed a novel idea,
being named after the herb they
used in making the tea. They
held their preference party the
following Sunday. This party
was called Jem' abok, the Afri
ca name for party.

Many of the latest and smart

many styles from which to
choose--smooth leathers, narrow

of the college choir took place
that day when, under the un

Evans, the choir presented a half
hour musical broadcast over
radio station KALE, as guests on
the Portland Council Choir pro

To a humming accompaniment
by the chojr, Richard Moffatt
sang a baritone solo. Margaret
Say played a violin obbligato
with one of the choral selections,
and the trio, consisting of Jean
Brose, Joyce Ogden and Betty

Only early birds, however,
were able to hear the angelic

Carnival Presents
Varied Activities
Amid the drizzle of a typical
December evening, Lewis and
Clark college held its annual
carnival, spohsored by the alum,
ni and student body. At 8:00, the
first half of ·the fun began with
the ballyhoo of the barkers.
Script tickets were bought after
first entering the door,.from Mrs.
Doris Rubesh and Ruth Hassold.
Leis with a smile could be had
from Ann Brooks for only b
tickets. Besides the leis, the
freshmarr class also sponsored a
Penny-pitch conducted by John
Little.
The junior class had the Bingo
game. There ·was much enthusi
asm shown by the participants itt
vieing for the numerous prizes
on display.
The World's Greatest Wonder
Mystery", shown by Dr. Groen
ing, was sponsored by .the senior
class.
The concessions closed about
9:30 when everyone proceeded
to the tent show in the chapel.
The Carolons opened the pro
gram singing "A Pretty Girl Is
Like a Melody", "Lullaby of
Broadway", "Holiday for
Strings", and "Were You There?"
The next number was the annual
faculty skit called "Wild Nell"
starring Miss H'artzfeld, Mr.
Thaxter, Miss Joy, Mr. Walke~,
Mr. Hutchins and Dr. Smith.
Needless to say it was enjoyed
by everyone. '
Two members of the Women's

master of ceremonies. '

PlallS Made For
Entering 'Students
Dr. Charles W. Howard and Dr.
L. 0. McAfee represented Lewis
and Clark last month when rep
resentatives of the independent
Oregon colleges visited the. var
ious high schools for the purpo!e
of interesting seniors in entering
college in February . The number
who conferred with our repre ·
sentatives was encouraging, be·
ing as large as that of any other
group.
Dr: McAfee expressed the view
that our prospects are very good.
It is not possible to foretell pre
cisely the number of new stud ~
ents, but applications have now
been received from as many pros
pective 'students as entered the
second semester last year, which
would indicate that twice that
many young people will enter
next month. One factor which . .
has thus far delayed the 'arrival
-of applications is 'the fact that
high school scholarship commit
tees have not yet ml!t, with the
exception of Jefferson, from
Which SChOlarship I applicatiOnS
have been received.
Catalogs were mailed prospec

Newest Member Speaks
Greetings to the Pioneer Log from the newest member
of rthe Lewis and \Clark family. You are a fine group. You
. have given me a real welcome into a stimulating environ
ment. My six weeks of residence on this beautiful campus
has been most pleasant and filled with experiences which
are precious. I trust that I have begun to get the feel and
spirit of the faculty and student body and that I, as well
as you, may have a revival of learning which will be com
parable to the re-birth which this college is experiencing
in its physical . properties and in its relationship to this com
munity.
Few times in the history of education has there existed
an opportunity for a sma1l college to build itself into a com
munity and a great region such as exists here and now for_
Lewis and Clark in this, one of the last physical frontiers
of out nation. President Odell and the trustees have caught
that vision. May we as faculty and students find our place
in this great human project.
As those pioneers, for wholl! this college is named, pre
ceeded civilization and charted a physical course, more than
a century ago, that has made their names immortal, so may
we chart an intellectual and cultural course which will tie
onto those names a craving for truth. May we with vision,
persistance and fortitude follow this craving through to the
fruitation of fuller lives, stirred intellects and stable Christ
ian characters which was so nobly lived by precept and ex
ample by the Master of Men.
Charles W. Howard, Dean
Press Toward the Mark
The most thrilling event in recent weeks at Lewis and
Clark was Dr. Odell's announcement of the post war expan
sion program .. Some students may be prone to say, "Why
should I be thrilled by a 25 year program? I shall be gradu-'
ated in two or three years." To anyone who may take this at
titude we can only say that every blessing of liberty that we
now have was made possible by the hard work and sacrifice
of individuals and groups. Let us .then, in keeping with the
pioneer spirit of our school, endeavor to the utmost of~ our
ability to make it. the best we can, not only for today, but
for future student bodies also.
Shall we then, "Forgetting those things which are behind,
press toward the mark for the prize"; the prize in this case
being· a great monument in the city of Portland: Then we
may say in years to come, "I had a definite part in the
pioneering and the building of this monumental institution!"
Others may say that this is just a "pipe dream". To this
we say that people laughed at Noah when he built the ark.
They also made fun of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam
boat. The Wright Brothers met with much ridicule while
working on the invention of the airplane. It is our earnest
hope that none of the present ·st'udent body will be among
those who feel foolish 25 years from now-foolish because
they refused to believe that these visions of things to be
would be made reality.
We firmly believe that this thing will succeed "because
it is right". Let's make this our motto, fellow students, and
we shall forever after be glad that we have done so.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We the students have been
very fortunate to have our own
room, and to furnish it the way
we like. Unfortunately not all
of the students are cooperating in
keeping this room in the best
condition, so that everyone can
enjoy its advantages . Now thnt
the final touches are being put
in to accommodate everyone let's
try and keep it as a place we can
have fun and relax, and not an
eyesore of the Women's build
ings.

TO THE EDITOR
Who's skipping chapel?
It looks as if most of us are.
We can be sure that the faculty
do not prepare these chapels for
their own enjoyment but they
are for the student body and for
our own good.
Then how about it? Is it be
cause we are not religious or that
we don't appreciate these things
or have we just been letting it
slip?
Just half the seats have been
occupied each time when e nave
had speakers such as Dr. Fay
Campbell, Dr. T. F. Hudson, Dr.
Thompson Shannon, Dr. Coleman 1
and others. tw It is a shame that
we let such people give their
time and effort to come· to speak
to us and then we deliberately
fail to give our time to hear them.
Maybe you think no one will
miss you if you don't come and
-maybe they won't. But you
will be the one to miss some
thing.
We don't want compulsory
chapel attendance do we? Well
then, come along. Show your
school spirit and be on time.

PERSONALITY 'OF
THE MONTH
One pt;rson on the Lewis and
Clark campus who is known for
getting things done is "our
black-haired darlin'," E;velyn
Sparlin. A junior, Evelyn is
president of the Amicans, soph
omore-junior women's honorary,
and president of the women's
dormitory.
Evelyn hails from Couer d'
Alene, Idaht>, but previously liv
ed in Portland and attended Mil
waukie Union high school
Her major is chemistry to pre
pare her to be a laboratory tech
nician. She plans to get her B.S.
degree here at Lewis and Clark.
Evelyn has a wide range of
interests. She is a member of
Sigma Rho sorority, Tri-Sci, the
Red Cross chapter, and is a re
porter for the Pioneer Log. She
likes to knit, sew, and cook, and
her hobby is listening to good
music (especially sympho_nic).
Just ask her how the army is,
and you'll learn that she has a
very special interest in 'the in
fantry.
She was recently honored
when she was selected for Who's
Who in American Colleges and
Universities.
Evelyn was a member of the
first group of students to live
on this campus, and already has
seen many changes. She con
tributed much time and effort
that first year in transforming
the estate into a place suitable
for a college campus.
Every inch of her five feet,
one inch in height is ~ull of en
ergy and pep. And she draws on
it unspal'ingly! To a girl who
has what it takes -personality
plus push-we offer our sincer
est wishes for the best of every-
thing in life. ·

trance to the Women's building?
In 18.92, that cornerstone was
laid at the Albany college when
the new building was completed.
There were no dormitorie~ in
those days, but an eating cluo
for men was established by Clara
Perry. The ·women lived in pri-
vate homes: -

needed improvement would be a

lamette valley colleges held a de-·

Another activity which flour

the instructor, produced a real

If you see someone sneaking

don't be alarmed. "It" is probably
one of the sorority or fraternity
pledges.
With so many new students
this fall, one can easily see how
hard it was to choose pledges .
Alpha Gamma sorority held its
formal rush tea on November 12.
Their tea was carried out with
a Hawaiian theme. On the fol
lowing Thursday evening they
held their preference party. To
make everything confusing and
different, they had a "backward"
party. nstead of hearing a cheery
"hello" when you came in the
door, you were greeted with a
sound "good-bye" and a "so glad·
you had a nice time". The des
sert was served first, followed
by spaghetti. Have you ever
tried eating spaghetti with a
knife? Well, it isn't easy. Coiors mean a lot to us dur
ing these dark, rainy days. They
furnish highlights for the ob
server as well as the wearer.

being named after the herb they
used in making the tea. They
held their preference party the
following Sunday. This party
was called Jem' abok, the Afri

Many of the latest and smart

many styles from which to
choose--smooth leathers, narrow

jumpers is . worthy of note too.
One basic jumper creates any

To a humming accompaniment
by the chojr, Richard Moffatt

the ballyhoo of the barkers.
Script tickets were bought after

on display.
The World's Greatest Wonder

The concessions closed about
9:30 when everyone proceeded
to the tent show in the chapel.
The Carolons opened the pro
gram singing "A Pretty Girl Is
Like a Melody", "Lullaby of

The next number was the annual
faculty skit called "Wild Nell"
starring Miss H'artzfeld, Mr.

Mr. Hutchins and Dr. Smith.
Needless to say it was enjoyed
by everyone. '

PlallS Made For
Entering 'Students
Dr. Charles W. Howard and Dr.
L. 0. McAfee represented Lewis
and Clark last month when rep
resentatives of the independent
Oregon colleges visited the. var
ious high schools for the purpo!e
of interesting seniors in entering
college in February . The number
who conferred with our repre ·
sentatives was encouraging, be·
ing as large as that of any other
group.
Dr: McAfee expressed the view
that our prospects are very good.
It is not possible to foretell pre
cisely the number of new stud ~
ents, but applications have now
been received from as many pros
pective 'students as entered the
second semester last year, which
would indicate that twice that
many young people will enter
next month. One factor which . .
has thus far delayed the 'arrival
-of applications is 'the fact that
high school scholarship commit
tees have not yet ml!t, with the
exception of Jefferson, from
Which SChOlarship I applicatiOnS
have been received.
Catalogs were mailed prospec
tive st.udents, and a new bulletin,
containing a recent picture of the
college choir, is being mailed out
this week. ·
Limited dormitory spac_e will
be available for entering students
whl] will wish to live on the
campus. • <

never hurt anvone" at Lewis and Clark college. where stu·
dents and -fac~ty toughen their muscles by moving books

Books Toted
As Dust Fltes
With a slight change from the
intellectual side of college, Mr.
Thaxter, Dr. Howard, and others
had their classes-give undivided
attention to the carrying of books
to 'ltle new library t~e _p;ist few.
weeki;. The halls, chemistry 'lab;
oratory and new library were
ringing with laughter and sing
ing, and chatter about plans for
Christmas and New Years.
. Oust particles were floating
through the atmosphere miles an
hour and irritating all the larynx
'in sight.
Consequently there was a big
rush for. the nearest drinking
fountain which was situated right
on the beaten track beyond the
doorway of the new library. Were
'they fooled! It tasted like rusty
nails and oil, and smelled like
old· paints, but it looked inviting.
Of • course ·every student was
broken hearted to leave his class
and tote sta~ of books through wind and rain, but' they all were
so self-sacrificing and noble that
you couldn't see a trace of gloom
in their bright kind faces.
Well, all the books are in their
own ~little place now and no one
has missed too many classes,
strained too mJlnY · muscles, or
seems the worse for his token of
g()od ~will. ••1
