Basketball Team

ball team opened their 1944-45
season with a bang when they

The Pioneers went down, how
ever, before the greater weight
and numbers of Reed's men.
Through the third quarter they
held the score to 22 to 36, but
lacking substitutes were unable
to match the Reed pace to the
end .• The final score was 26 to
55. The game was played on the

Casaba Schedule Full
The Lewis and Clark Pioneet•s
have a big basketball season
ahead this year. A tentative

with Reed college, Dec. 7 and
Feb. 20; Pacific college, Jan. 13
and Feb. 15; Pacific university,

There is the possibility that a
league may be organized this
year including Reed college, Pa
cific college, Pacific university,
Linfield college, and Lewis and
Clark college. By Sue Huston
If you're crazy about paying
$2 to get soaking wet and to
lose one of your shoes now and
then in thick mud, you should
have been at the Portland golf
club a few weeks ago watching
all the big-time golfers wading
through the fairways. I did, and
it was really fun.
But the cashmeres out ·there
blue, green, yellow, beige-must
be pre-war. The spectators were
a regular fashion parade in
themselves, everything from
fishing boots to fur coats.
Slamming Sammy Snead was
really burning up the course, if
that was possible with all the
moisture and dew on the posies
finishing with one over par for
72 holes and walking away witn
$2,675 in war bonds. I hate to
admit it, but that's really good
golf.

the only professional woman
goii'er, so she couldn't help but
win something. Curvacious Babe
Grad Speaks to Tri-Sci
Mr. W. N. Shearer, industrial
chemist, spoke at the first form
al, membership meeting held by
Tri-Sci last Monday. Dinner was
served in the dining room, after
which Mr. Shearer, a graduate
of Albany college, addressed the
group on his profession. All
stud,ents eligible to membership
in the club were invited to the
meeting.
Hal Smith is president of Tri

It's quite an inspiration to see
how easily the game can be

go right out to your home

"It's no use though," you tell
yourself after getting about sev

just natural born golfers, it's in
their blood." But it would be fun
to play golf for a living, out

enter some big tournament, and

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

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
Supply Slore Opens
A school supply store ·was re
cently opened in the newly dec

A Word to the Wise
You've heard that old adage, "A word to the wise is
sufficient." Well, taking for granted that you are the wise,
let us consider the word DEADLINE.
DEADLINE is the word you see so often in the Pioneer
Log room about the time a paper is scheduled to come out.
It-says that all stories, articles and news must be in the box
by a certain DEADLINE.
Now, this doesn't mean just any time you find spare
minutes and ambition to write it .. It means that your stories
and articles must be in by that DEADLINE in order for our
paper to be published. We have a schedule that we have to
follow to the minute in order to get that paper to the print
ers on a certain day. If all the assigned stories are in, it's
relatively simple for the rest of the .staff to get them copy
read, head, retyped, and a thousand other things before the
printer's DEADLINE. However, if your one little story is
so much as a day late it throws our schedule so far out of
line that it takes many extra hours, extra trips to the print
ers, and a lot of extra work to get that paper out on the
assigned day.
Now don't think this little tale of woe applies only to
the Log staff. Many of you are club presidents and secre
taries, or class officers, and if you're going to get any free
advertisement and publicity in the paper for your organiza
tion it has to hit that DEADLINE. Publicity is important,
so don't make us ask you for it every tirrie. The paper comes
out once a month and all you have to do is make that
DEADLINE.
The Year Before Us
A brand-new year! What can it mean to each of us.?
And then what can we each mean to Lewis and Clark col
lege? And to follow this line of questioning to its ultimate,
what may we as persons, as a college, ~ean in the total
picture of a world trying to shake itself free from hatred,
and to build anew on sounder foundations? ..
Each of us asks himself in this fashion, what is my
place in all of this? Where do I begin? And after much
searching, we find that 'there can be only one place to be
gin-with ourselves. Sometimes that may be a bit discon
certing. It would be much easier to begin with somebody
else, or even with some unpleasant or unsocial situation.
But as we look at some of the troubles and unhappiness,
major and minor, we realize anew that one is ready for the
big problems outside his own life only if he has done some
pretty fine pruning and cultivating in his own garden.
. Then only comes the fine art of understanding, of seeing
other's with kind and hopeful eyes. Then, too,. comes in
telligent awareness of our inevitable dependance upon one
another, as we put our shoulders to the wheel, and push
ahead toward personal and social betterment.
"God give us strength to set our own house in order ...
To open our doors in friendship, to set all men free
Let the strong be wise, and the weak protected,
Let the sun light the darkest street,
And the rain of wisdom wash the slums of earth into
vague memories.
Give us strength and wisdom, truth, honesty and faith;
Maintain our anger against aggression,
And give us humility before Thee, dear Lord."

everything."

a thought-provoking motto' which
was: "A horse! A horse! My

Fashion Flashes
It's a new year now, and that
spells a newneBS in fashions and
fads, but not necessarily new
clothes. To some, it means a
different twist in combining the
old clothes; to others, it might
mean adopting a novel color-for
a favorite.
Perhaps you'll decide to wear
striking plain clothes instead of
a variety of checks and plaids.
Or, if you've been wearing solid
colors, a plaid mixture would' be
a treasure. Maybe you'll try
straight lines instead of fullness.
Yo).l might even foresake your
kerchief for a novel little hat.
Whatever way you choose, it's
fun to be treated to a change.
Slacks are still new on the
campus. Their common compan
ion, the faithful sweater, is old.
Joanne Norman and Sue Huston
must have thought a litUe devia
tion would be welcome. Joanne
wears a trim gabardine jacket-
the exact mate to her equally
trim slacks. Sue's choice is a
soft wool shirt, tailored for smart
ness. Vests are am<!!lg the newest
creations for the fashion-con
scious. Of course, to fathers and
brothers, vests are long familiar.
But, what. they may view as an
tique has furnished the fair sex
with a very recent style. The
vest trend is of a broad nature,
but variations are many. Tnere
are embroidered and sequined
vests for dress, hand knit vests
for active sports, and jaunty
wools for campus wear. Dorothy
Kirkwood looks-smart in her red
plaid vest of warm wooL-Just as
fresh and new is the green wool
vest worn by Grace Hoyt.
Eighteen new music books
have been ordered by music prG
fessor John Stark Evans. Some
of them are:
"The Stream of Music" by
Richard Leonara , which gives a
history of music in terms of
great men who made it. .Mr.
Leonard ,was a star producer at
N. B. C. He put Toscanini con
certs on the air, a responsibility
greater than any other musical
assignment NBC could offer.
"Rise to Follow", an autobi
ography by Albert Spaulding.
This book tells about men fam
ous and obscurlj as he has seen
them, and about places and
events he has observed in their
lives.
~ "On Wings of Song" t an ex
cellent novel of the life of Felix
Mendelssohn which tells of the
early boyhood and family life of
Mendelssohn as a world famous
prodigy.
Other booklf are: ''Harvard
Dictionary of Music", ''New His
tory of Music", "Keyboard Har~

"Ear Training ", all by _Wedge.

Youth and mUIIlcianship were.
displayed in our greater artists
series last Saturday nighl Mr.
Menuhln's artistic ability and
outstandlni personality won his
auaience soon after the first
notes of the Star Spangled Ban
ner.
Your reporter had-the oppor·
tunity to interview Mr. Menhu·
hin and Mr. Baller and their
unusual friendliness was a par
ticularly noticeable feature. Mr.
Menuhin told of his tour in
England and Paris and of visiting
G. I. Joe in the various A:nny
camps.
Mr. Menuhin said that both
he and Mr. Baller preferred to
play in a Concert Hall rather
than an Auditorium because of
a smaller audience and the acous
tics are usually better. They said
that not until the applause at
the end of the number are they
ever conscious of the audience.
However, the audience has ;l
great influence on the interpre
tation of their work. They spoke
of the appreciative audience that
greeted them here in Portland.
Between engagements of the
regular scheduled performances,
Mr. Menuhin is playing in army
camps throughout the country.
The sweeping masterful stroke
and the sureness of tone were two
features to note. His technique
and musicianship was particular
ly called to attention in his ren
dition of Georges Enesco's sonata
for violin, whlch was written and
dedicated to Mr. Menuhin.
Mr. Baller and Mr. Menuhin
did not tour together. Mr. Bal
ler w'ent to the Aleutians and ~
friend of Mr. Menuhin accompan
ied him in England. Mr. Menuhin
gave the first concert with .the·
Symphony Orchestra in Paris,
after its liberation .
All of the students were fascin
ated by t..'le arti&ts and especially
enjoyed the latter half of the
program.

Through Mud to Victory FIRM The Lewis and Clark basket
ball team opened their 1944-45
season with a bang when they
defeated the Sunnyside DeMolay
58 to 17, at the Collins View
gym on November 30.
The Pioneers went down, how
ever, before the greater weight
and numbers of Reed's men.
Through the third quarter they
held the score to 22 to 36, but
lacking substitutes were unable
to match the Reed pace to the
end .• The final score was 26 to
55. The game was played on the
Lewis and Clark floor, on Decem
ber 7.
Captain of the Lewis and Clark
team is Hal Smith, who plays
center. Gene Westberg, Richard
Michaelis, and Don Schick are
forwards; Don Broetje, John

If you're crazy about paying
$2 to get soaking wet and to
lose one of your shoes now and
then in thick mud, you should
have been at the Portland golf
club a few weeks ago watching
all the big-time golfers wading
through the fairways. I did, and
it was really fun.
But the cashmeres out ·there
blue, green, yellow, beige-must
be pre-war. The spectators were
a regular fashion parade in
themselves, everything from
fishing boots to fur coats.
Slamming Sammy Snead was
really burning up the course, if
that was possible with all the
moisture and dew on the posies
finishing with one over par for
72 holes and walking away witn
$2,675 in war bonds. I hate to
admit it, but that's really good
golf.

It's quite an inspiration to see

"It's no use though," you tell
yourself after getting about sev

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.

containing a recent picture of the

A Word to the Wise
You've heard that old adage, "A word to the wise is
sufficient." Well, taking for granted that you are the wise,
let us consider the word DEADLINE.
DEADLINE is the word you see so often in the Pioneer
Log room about the time a paper is scheduled to come out.
It-says that all stories, articles and news must be in the box
by a certain DEADLINE.
Now, this doesn't mean just any time you find spare
minutes and ambition to write it .. It means that your stories
and articles must be in by that DEADLINE in order for our
paper to be published. We have a schedule that we have to
follow to the minute in order to get that paper to the print
ers on a certain day. If all the assigned stories are in, it's
relatively simple for the rest of the .staff to get them copy
read, head, retyped, and a thousand other things before the
printer's DEADLINE. However, if your one little story is
so much as a day late it throws our schedule so far out of
line that it takes many extra hours, extra trips to the print
ers, and a lot of extra work to get that paper out on the
assigned day.
Now don't think this little tale of woe applies only to
the Log staff. Many of you are club presidents and secre
taries, or class officers, and if you're going to get any free
advertisement and publicity in the paper for your organiza
tion it has to hit that DEADLINE. Publicity is important,
so don't make us ask you for it every tirrie. The paper comes
out once a month and all you have to do is make that
DEADLINE.
The Year Before Us
A brand-new year! What can it mean to each of us.?
And then what can we each mean to Lewis and Clark col
lege? And to follow this line of questioning to its ultimate,
what may we as persons, as a college, ~ean in the total
picture of a world trying to shake itself free from hatred,
and to build anew on sounder foundations? ..
Each of us asks himself in this fashion, what is my
place in all of this? Where do I begin? And after much
searching, we find that 'there can be only one place to be
gin-with ourselves. Sometimes that may be a bit discon
certing. It would be much easier to begin with somebody
else, or even with some unpleasant or unsocial situation.
But as we look at some of the troubles and unhappiness,
major and minor, we realize anew that one is ready for the
big problems outside his own life only if he has done some
pretty fine pruning and cultivating in his own garden.
. Then only comes the fine art of understanding, of seeing
other's with kind and hopeful eyes. Then, too,. comes in
telligent awareness of our inevitable dependance upon one
another, as we put our shoulders to the wheel, and push
ahead toward personal and social betterment.
"God give us strength to set our own house in order ...
To open our doors in friendship, to set all men free
Let the strong be wise, and the weak protected,
Let the sun light the darkest street,
And the rain of wisdom wash the slums of earth into
vague memories.
Give us strength and wisdom, truth, honesty and faith;
Maintain our anger against aggression,
And give us humility before Thee, dear Lord."

Alum Chum's

Has anyone else noti~ed how

The music building before re

room for practice and class work.
Now ther.e will be a large and
small classroom, two practice

Fashion Flashes
It's a new year now, and that
spells a newneBS in fashions and
fads, but not necessarily new
clothes. To some, it means a
different twist in combining the
old clothes; to others, it might
mean adopting a novel color-for
a favorite.
Perhaps you'll decide to wear
striking plain clothes instead of
a variety of checks and plaids.
Or, if you've been wearing solid
colors, a plaid mixture would' be
a treasure. Maybe you'll try
straight lines instead of fullness.
Yo).l might even foresake your
kerchief for a novel little hat.
Whatever way you choose, it's
fun to be treated to a change.
Slacks are still new on the
campus. Their common compan
ion, the faithful sweater, is old.
Joanne Norman and Sue Huston
must have thought a litUe devia
tion would be welcome. Joanne
wears a trim gabardine jacket-
the exact mate to her equally
trim slacks. Sue's choice is a
soft wool shirt, tailored for smart
ness. Vests are am<!!lg the newest
creations for the fashion-con
scious. Of course, to fathers and
brothers, vests are long familiar.
But, what. they may view as an
tique has furnished the fair sex
with a very recent style. The
vest trend is of a broad nature,
but variations are many. Tnere
are embroidered and sequined
vests for dress, hand knit vests
for active sports, and jaunty
wools for campus wear. Dorothy
Kirkwood looks-smart in her red
plaid vest of warm wooL-Just as
fresh and new is the green wool
vest worn by Grace Hoyt.
Eighteen new music books
have been ordered by music prG
fessor John Stark Evans. Some
of them are:
"The Stream of Music" by
Richard Leonara , which gives a
history of music in terms of
great men who made it. .Mr.
Leonard ,was a star producer at
N. B. C. He put Toscanini con
certs on the air, a responsibility
greater than any other musical
assignment NBC could offer.
"Rise to Follow", an autobi
ography by Albert Spaulding.
This book tells about men fam
ous and obscurlj as he has seen
them, and about places and
events he has observed in their
lives.
~ "On Wings of Song" t an ex
cellent novel of the life of Felix
Mendelssohn which tells of the
early boyhood and family life of
Mendelssohn as a world famous
prodigy.
Other booklf are: ''Harvard
Dictionary of Music", ''New His
tory of Music", "Keyboard Har~
mony", "Applied Harmony",
"Ear Training ", all by _Wedge.

North Osweio on ~hway Y ehudl Menuhln
Br Mwvwet Bcir
Youth and mUIIlcianship were.
displayed in our greater artists
series last Saturday nighl Mr.
Menuhln's artistic ability and
outstandlni personality won his
auaience soon after the first
notes of the Star Spangled Ban
ner.
Your reporter had-the oppor·
tunity to interview Mr. Menhu·
hin and Mr. Baller and their
unusual friendliness was a par
ticularly noticeable feature. Mr.
Menuhin told of his tour in
England and Paris and of visiting
G. I. Joe in the various A:nny
camps.
Mr. Menuhin said that both
he and Mr. Baller preferred to
play in a Concert Hall rather
than an Auditorium because of
a smaller audience and the acous
tics are usually better. They said
that not until the applause at
the end of the number are they
ever conscious of the audience.
However, the audience has ;l
great influence on the interpre
tation of their work. They spoke
of the appreciative audience that
greeted them here in Portland.
Between engagements of the
regular scheduled performances,
Mr. Menuhin is playing in army
camps throughout the country.
The sweeping masterful stroke
and the sureness of tone were two
features to note. His technique
and musicianship was particular
ly called to attention in his ren
dition of Georges Enesco's sonata
for violin, whlch was written and
dedicated to Mr. Menuhin.
Mr. Baller and Mr. Menuhin
did not tour together. Mr. Bal
ler w'ent to the Aleutians and ~
friend of Mr. Menuhin accompan
ied him in England. Mr. Menuhin
gave the first concert with .the·
Symphony Orchestra in Paris,
after its liberation .
All of the students were fascin
ated by t..'le arti&ts and especially
enjoyed the latter half of the
program.
