Tennis Turf Turned
Did you know that the tennis
courts on our campus have the
dimensions of the standard pro­
fessional doubles courts as speci­
fied in the Spalding Tennis an­
nual; that they are enclosed in
permanent wire netting, upheld
by galvanized steel posts, and
are laid in the best possible po­
sition to prevent sun glare while
playing?
Only one obstacle prevents
playing on our two well-built
courts-the surface. This was
originally turf, but having been
neglected during the period of
the estate's inoccupancy, it has
been badly overgrown. The
project which. is now nobly be­
ing carried on by Mr. Moser and
his lunch hour volunteers and
the physical education classes is • that of rolling O'ff the sod with
shovels. When the job is finish­
ed, the ground will be given a
temporary surface of dirt until
funds can be obtained to provide
a concrete covering. Dirt, turf,
Clay and concrete surfaces are
all appx:oved for standard courts ' the -latter being preferred be-
cause of its easy upkeep.
So, get busy with your shovel
from 12:30 to 1 o'clock each day,
and -come sunny spring,· you'll
find yourself playing tennis on· a
court fit for a match between
Don· Budge and Bill Tilden!

Is the Danger Past?
We feel that it is impossible to discuss the question of
racial discrimination without prejudice. It is, however, the
problem of the American youth, we face it in our future.
The question of the return of Japanese-Americans to the
Pacific coast brings controversy , for many persons feel they
are unwanted here only because of economic reasons, yet· if
the army caused them to be evacuated, there must be a
deeper reason for their removal. How can we be sure that
the danger is past? Are we ready to put our trust in this
decision of the officials? · '
A young Japanese acquaintance of ours joined the army,
and made his way from a private to a first lieutenant. He
has been in the E.T.O. fighting for many months, yet his
sister writes that friends of her father, in the Portland
Polict; :Qept., consider it inadvisable for any of the Japanese
to return to the West coast. Some of the returned service
men are agreeable to their return, others strongly against it.
Those of us who went to school with Japanese boys and girls
know 'that they all attended Japanese schools, and had the
customs, 'language, and religion of their race instilled in them,
both there and at home.
For these reasons, we a~e against bringing the Japanese
back to the stragetic coastal area. After the war is time
enough· to settle the problem, why uproot them now, and give
the chance of an easy revenge to both white people and
Japaqese? -Ginger Norene.
All Men Are Equal
There are problems in the world which should weigh
heawily. upon our conscience. At present our focus rests
upon the problem of ·"Race Prejudice" . Looking clearly at
the facts we see no reason to be prejudiced against the people
of other races. It has been proved that there is no chem­
ical diff~rehce in the blood and no structural difference in
the brain. Some seem to feel that the Caucasian stock has a
monopoly on intelligence but scientific test of I. Q. proves
otherwise.
Each race has done its part to enrich the culture and
knGwledge of the world. Our own country, perhaps more
than·any other, has gained greatly from the culture of races.
Those "irritating racial characteristics" we speak of are
merely products of our economic structure and the results of
man's ignorance and ~elfishness for all men were created
equal in the sight of G~d.
It is our duty as· college students to do all we can to
foster better understanding, to black out old half truths and
to bring forth not only tolerance but cooperation with other
races. So much energy is lost by hating one another while
so much happiness is to be gained by love. "Love thy
neighbor as thyself" is still the greatest c:omm~ndn:ent. Let
us become acquainted with individuals of a mmonty group.
Let us learn to know them as true friends and forget your
prejudices while they prove to us what fine people .they are.
Only by knowing others can we hope to exchange Ideas and
make R_.\ogress. We are all children of God and ~ust work
together with combined efforts in a democrahc way to
reach economic security and world peace.
This problem may not be solved in our generation but
it means that we, every one of us, have a responsibility to
work against injustice toward 'and discrimination against a
minority group. If we think and pray enough we will care
enough to work things out together with those. of other races.
LETTER TO EDITOR
To The Editor:
I notice in the March 14th
"Pioneer Log" an editorial on
"The Importance of Being Pre­
pared", by Connie Berkey.
I want to congratulat e the pa­
per on carrying the article. Our
colleges in the past have been so
opposed to any sort of prepara­
tion that they have caused some
of us to doubt as to whether
they arc educational institutions
and understand the problems of
our na tiona! life.
T h i s a rticle · looks like the
dawning of intelligence . Congrat­
ulations!
Very truly yours,
Donald W. M. MacCluer,
Minister, Rose City
Presbyterian church.
We were awfully sorry to hear
about Muffy's death. Muffy, the
Moser's little. black cocker pup,
was run down by a car "March
28. His visits to the campus will
be missed. -Carolyn Lazenby.

PERSONALITY OF
THE MONTH
The choice for campus per­
sonality this month is Warren
Nlete, our yearbook editor from
near-by Oswego.
Warren is a junior majoring in
social sciences . He· is tflking his
work UJlder the yetetans' Ad­
ministration and plans to finish
requirements for his degree here.
His vocational plans are ln the
field of secondary education.
This year he is' judicial com­
missioner of the student body
and president of ~lpha Rho frat­
ernity. Last year he was sopho­
more class president and acted as
master of ceremonies for the
May Day program.
Warren has many · interests.
For over two years he -has been
the leader for a Boy Scout troup
in Dunthorpe. He is interested in
all sports, and for two years
taught physical education at
Riverdale grammar sc.hool. His
favorite hobby is Pat Crisp, one
of our own co-eds.
His winning personality and
zeal have made Warren a cam­
pus favorite. He has helped pro­
mote the spirit of our school in
its days of pioneering. Let's all
catch. ;t bit of his good spirit and
spread it to every student on_ this
campus!
NAMES AND FACES
Among Ui.e familiar names and
faces on our canipus are the four
members of the fac.ulty who have
been with us ihe longest.
Dr. L. 0, McAfee, professor of
education and psychology, came
to Albany in 1929. He was dean
of the college for several years
and last year took over the duties
of registrar. He "went to John­
son college, University of Chi­
cago, and earned his Ph.D. de­
gree at the University of Wash­
ington. He has three children:
Lucy, James and Betty Ruth.
Dr. A. A. Groening came in
1930. In 1936, when· the college
board said that Albany college
would never be moved to Port­
land, Dr. Groening went to Lin­
field. A Portland unit of Albany
had been started in 1934, but his
dream of ·moving th~ college to
Portland seemed impossible of
realization. Two years later it
happened, and in 1942 he re­
turned to Albany college (this
time in Portland.)
Dr. Groening re·ceived his Ph.D.
at Kansas university. He is pro­
fessor of chemistry and physics,
and from 1931 to 1935 was dean
of the college. He has three child­
ren: Victor, Homer and Ellene.

GREAT SON by E;dna Ferber
The Seattle pioneer Melendys
are ln the old tradition of fabul­
ous families, with big, handsome,
charmingly unscrupulous men; a
few gaudy women who shock the
straight-laced women, and a
domineering, hickory -t o u g h
grandmother. Having spent a few
months in Seattle, Edna Ferber
fills her book with "very, very"
and frequent assurances ·that you
won't believe it but it's true. The
.story itself is as trite as her re­
actions to the lakes and moun­
tains, yet pleasantly diverting
enough to have mounted to best­
seller heights. THE GOOD OLD ·DAYS
A college president was about
to make an address in his old
home toWn. In order to assure
his old frieniis and neighbors
that his posj.tion had not caused
him to put on airs, he _began
thus:
"My dear friends,-1 will not
call you ladies and gentlemen­
! know you too well for that."
Hard On Dad
"Mama," asked a child, "am I
descended from a monkey?"
"I don't know," replied Mama,
"I didn't know your father's peo­
ple very well."

basked all through his concert in
the glory of our appointed inter­

next day, with pencils shaking in

husband was out shoJiWing for a

and smarting. eyes we ·trudged
solemnly home.
Th(s was his first appearance
in Portland and judging from the
audience's enthusiastic applause,
he will be back again. He is one
of the few singers who can hold
.his own a"s effectively on. stage,
screen and radio as in opera, and
speaking of opera, he is one of
the very few who can look the
romantic lead as well as sing it.
Possessor of a rare lyric terior
voice, he can sing the taxing
operatic roles with the same ease
and facility he gives to such pop­
ular tunes as "Surrey with the
Fringe on Top".

To Be Soloist
The evening ot April 21 will
be a memorable day in the life of
one of the girls of the campus
when the Junior Symphony will
present her as sciloist. This hon­
or has come to Margaret Say,
who will play the Max Bruch
violin concerto ln G minor. She
has been a member of the Sym­
phony seven ye;;ars, concert-mas­
ter for the last three years, and
during this time featured in sev­
eral solo numbers. A three
thousand dollar instrument has
been loaned to Marga'ret for this
special occasion. The violin was
made by the famous Italian
Guadagnini, the same man who
made the one Heiftiz plays.
In addition to the Bruch con­
certo, the Symphony will play
Beethovens Symphony No. 1, the
Tales from the Vienna Woods,
Coq D'Or and a number featur­
ing the string quartet.
A reception has been planned
for the Women's club on 12th and
Taylor for Margaret immediately
following the concert and mem­
bers of the student body are. in­
vited to at_tend.
Fashion lfoles
Accardi~ to the {:alendar it's
spring. According to the weather
it's winter. Who are you going to
believe? 'n rains one day-and
then it rains ·the next. The flow-.
ers and • shrubs on the campus
evidently decided to follow their
regular , yearly schedule by
blooming right now. Portlanders
have ·decided to take a chance,.
too. Store windows proclaim the
arrival of spring with gay dis­
plays of .pas~el suits for Easter
morning or crisp cotton play­
clothes for the first warm days
in May. ·
Our own campus furnishes
glimpses of this grand season.
Carolyn MacDonald wears a skirt
of chartreuse wool with a match­
ing jerkin combining the plain
chartreuse wi_th a smart check.
Adding even more charm is the
set of small green buttons at the
waist.
Jean Brose chooses a soft gol­
den yellow wool for her jumper,
its s'implicity of line is the key
to style.
Cotton comes into note this
time with Jean Strickwerd. Her
blue and white plaid two-piece
dress is a pert example of the
day·s to come.
Guys and gals! Start digging
in your money bags for a dol­
lar, 'cause Alpha Gamma soror­
ity is going to sell stationery
in the student body room dur­
ing the latter part of April. The
stationery will have a L~wis
and Clark letterhead-covered­
wagon, and all and for one
little green-back you can get
48 sheets ·of paper and 24 en­
velopes. The supply is limited
so take my advice and get there
early. Think of the impression
this distinctive stationery will
have on your friends!

Mrs. Edna Dunbar Moser spoke Barbara Jane Wood Bemice Holsclgw Georqe Thoma'S Dixon Miyuachi -recently before a large group of
Portland business women at
their annual dinner, telling
them of experiences iri Africa.
'Later she made a f;imilar talk
over KEX radio station. Mr. Er­
nest Moser talked last week at a
luncheon meeting of the Portland
Woman's club. In her prize-winning oration,
"They Walk with God", which
Miss Barbara Jane Wood Lin­
field college senior, presented at
the inter-collegiat!! fellowship
during Spiritual Eij}phasis week,
she told of the heroic death of
four chaplains, who, while their
ship was sinking, ga·te their life
rafts to four soldiers. '£he yoang­
est of the chaplains was Miss
Wood's cousin, and son of Daniel
Poling, former World President
of Christian Endeavor.
A graduate of Jefferson high
school, Miss Wood studied dra­
matics under Miss Nina Great­
house, who taught there before
coming to Lewis and Clark. Her
father, Mr. Walter Wood, teaches
science at Jefferson.
· She attended Albany college in
Portland for . one semester, and
speaking of our new campus ex­
claimed, "It's beautiful! I want
to come back again soon. Every­
one is so friendly and kind."
A sociology major, Miss Wood
plans to enter the field of Chris­
tian education. . She is president
of Sigma Kappa Phi sorority and
belongs to Cap and Gown, senior
women's honorary, as well as
dramatics, forensic and social
science honoraries. She was ves­
per chairman of Linfield's Re­
ligious Emphasis week.
Having won the State Peace
Oratorical contest, Miss Wood
told excitedly of her plans to
leave for Pepperdine college in
Los Angeles to compele in the
regional contest held there.
At the request of many who
heard her, Miss Wood consented
to send a copy of her stirring or­
ation to the campus so that cop­
ies can be made available for all. The real solution for the prob­
lems of racial difference lies in a
complete change of attitude or
"a change of heart", according
to Mrs. Bernice Holsclaw, who
was on the campus during Spirit­
ual Emphasis week. However,
Mrs. Holsclaw said she believed
the type of meeting held while
she was here was of great value
in that it consisted of doing
things with people of other rlaces
as well as discussing the existing
problems.
Mrs. Holsclaw is the leader of
an inter-racial, inter-denomin­
ational youth choir in Portland,
and judging from the enthusiasm
with which the students partici­
pated in the fireside sing on .the
campus, she is a very talented
and competent leader.
Racial Problems Studled
Students wishing to participate
in activities for increasing co­
o p e r a t
i o n and understanding
among races have met recently
on the campus, and are planning
some educational programs, in­
cluding bringing a well-known
speaker to the college. Any stu­
dent desiring to help in this ac­
tivity or to have further informa­
tion should see Mr. Ernest Mo-
ser. ..
Red Cross Goal Topped
Students and faculty went
more than $100 over their com­
bined goal of $180 in the campus
Red Cross drive last month.
Jacqueline Sherbert, commit­
tee chairman, reported $106 con­
tributed by students, and Dr.
Harriet Sl'I)ith, faculty representa­
tive collected $174.50.

~IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIniiU~ "I like the name 'Spiritual
Emphasis week'," said Mr. George
Thomas from the Council of
Churches at the discussion he
led Tuesday on "World Brother­
hood". Mr. Thomas believes that
the idea of such a week could
be carried out successfully on
all campuses if , the students
themselves handled the arrange­
ments with a minimum of con­
trol by the faculty, and current
topics could be featured from
the Christian aspect. This method
would keep the students inter­
ested • because it would be their
week.
Mr. Thomas also suggested the
possibility of setting aside three
days for concentrated thought on
"spiritual emphasis". During this
time no classes would be held
since \ this would allow t i m e
enough to go in~o subjects more
thoroughly and credits might be
given for attendance at the con­
ferences and reports of them.
He reported that ,.such plans are.
used on small campuses back
east.
Mr. Thomas is vitally inter­
ested in the racial problem . He
expressed the belief that we
should all remember "love thy
neighbor as thyself" since this
w o u l d undoubtedly lead to
friendlier relations between peo­
ple of different colors. "Get to
know better someone of a dif­
ferent race," advised Mr. Thom­
as, "for trouble arises between
races only because of lack of un­
