Pioneering on the-Log
The PIONEER LOG has been a typical pioneering
project this year. Starting out last fall as the first printed
newspaper on Lewis and ·clark campus, it was not oilly
faced with the difficulties of war-time shortages, but a com
pletely inexperienced staff. It was willing and determined
however , that the Log would be a beginning for better papers
in the future, an4 under the capable leadership of Miss Joy
and unfailing help of our printers, the first edition of the
Pioneer Log went to press. Credit can not be given to any
one person, because every name on the masthead stands for
vital contributions and a lot of hard work on every issue.
And so to each member of the staff and to Miss Joy we
want to say a humble thank you in appreciation of the
cooperation you have given this year ..
Bettie Hopkins.
Invitation to Pionee1·s
The editor and staff of the Pioneer Log have· shared the
discouragement of unheeded deadlines , the hopelessness of
lost cuts and copy, the embarrassment of misplaced type,
but carried through the difficulties together until they have
become capable and reliant journalists.
Volume "one" has laid a firm foundation and set a high
standard; it has been exciting and rewarding for those who
took part in its creation, and it holds out a promise and an
invitation for Pioneers to come.

Semester examinations always bring up the students'
question, "Are exams really worthwhile?" Some schools
have dispensed with them,_ but in the majority o_f colleges
,the te~chers still spend much time preparing and correcting
lengthy exams while the students "cram".
Exam wee·ks invariably leave the students completely
exhausted, soon to forget the information they have compiled
in that period. Knowledge is not acquired in that way. !}ow
much more logical to give more frequent tests and exams
during the school year and dispense with semester examina
tions entirely. Such a program would cettainly give a more
accurate report of the students' knowledge . . -* * *
Final examinations are not !_air tests of knowledge be
cause by the time the tests are administered the student's
mind is so confused with dates, information and facts which
he has crammed into his brain within a week . or so, that
he isn't capable of good reasoning and clear thinking.
Too much stress and importance is placed on final ex
aminations and the average student feels that the episode is
a matter of life or death, which keys up his emotions, makes
him tense, extremely irritable and nervous, thus having a
bad effect on his entire system.
The succeeding term begins within a few days and there
is such a let-down following examination s that the student
fails to do his best work for a few weeks.
There should be at least one week of rest and recupera
tion between terms in which no studying is expected and
school completely erased from the mind.
In order to eliminate final tests, more weekly examina
tions should be given, which would cover the term's work
more thoroughly, and attitude in class, daily response and
voluntary outside work should be taken more into considera
tion.
* * *
"Final exams do more harm than good on our college
campuses." Thus, many modern educators decry our examin
ations on the grounds that they leave the student ·in a state
of mental and physical fatigue. We know that this is often
true, but why? The usual reasons why a student works him
self into a state of frenzy during exam week are that he
has a mistaken idea on the importance of the final and he is
trying to cram into one evening an amount of study which
should have been spread over several weeks' time. Actually,
the amount that the final exam counts toward term grades
at Lewis and Clark is up to the indivdual instructor,. and
seldom does it alter one's term grade except in borderline
cases.
We grant that exam week is a pretty busy time, but
it's up to the student whether or not it will get him down.
It's a good idea to get accustomed to times of mental strain
during college, for in later business and personal life, we
are bound to have similar experiences, qnd it will be good to
have learned how to face them intelligently.
The valqe of the final examination is largely in the
review it brings about. Repetition is one of the chief factors
in. learning, ~and in s~udying for finals, the student is sup
posedly repeating material previously learned, thereby mak
ing it less likely to be forgotten. Another advantage in tak
ing finals (providing the stress lies on main points rather
than trivialities) is that the student sees the course in the
light of the whole rather than in disconnected parts. PIONEER LOG --...... --. ---PERSONALITY OF
THE-MONTH -~ .-:.• --.:..... -- ~ ---~~~~JU!lW
Our campuS' personality this
month is Leland Rubesh, a senior
majoring in history and minoring
in so.cial science.
Lee carne to Oregon from Ne
_braska in the fall of 1941 and at
tended hia fiq;t. two years of col
lege here. Last year he returned
to his home· state and went to
Hastings college.
This year he has been active in
our campus activities. As business
manager of the Pioneer Log he
has been· a driving spirit in mak
ing the new project of a printed
paper a success. He has also
been business manager of the
basketball team and secretary of
the senior class.
After being graduated in June
with a B.A. degree, Lee expects
to return to Nebraska to work on
his father's farm. Eventually he
hopes to attend and be graduated
from San Anselmo Theological
seminary and go to Alaska for
missionary work.
A year and a half ago, Leland
was married to ·Doris Jones, class
of '43, who has served for th~
past year as executive secretary
of the Alumni association.
Since last March Lee has been
student pastor at Trinity Presby-
terian church. '
Asked what he likes to do for
amusement, he said, "In summer
I like to fish, and in winter I like
to ice skate." Another favorite
pastime is haunting old book
stores. His favorite S\lbject is
philosophy.
To both Lee and Doris who
have helped in many ways to put
Lewis and Clark "on the map",
we offer our sincerest wishes for
happiness throughout their lives.
Mrs. Evans wondered after Mr.
Evans was knighted on May Day
if that made her a "k-ni-ghtmare ". WEDDING BELLS
"Well, Betty, what progress
are you making toward matri
mony?"
Betty-"I think I'm on my last
lap." •••
Wonder what the little ducks
in the reflection pool thought
when they saw dignified Prof.
Walker wading toward them with
-camera in hand, his shoes and
stockings on the shore, and pants
rolled up to his knees? This took
place early one Sunday morning
when Mr. Walker was sure every
one else was still in bed.
Service Men's News
Navy blue was the outstanding
attraction on the campus during
the past month when three of our
favorite sailors were home on
!~aves.
We first noticed RT 3/c George
Cole beating out a little boogie
while he was home for a few
days from New York before leav
ing for a part of embarkation.
George was president o-f the fresh
man class last year and a mem
ber of Sigma Alpha Sigma when
he joined the navy. · .
S 2/c Saul Zaik, a member of
this year's freshman class, was·
recetly horne from boot camp at
Sa~ Diego. He reported back to
San Diego for further assignment.
Another member of last' year's
freshman class and of Sigma Al
pha Sigma is RT 2/c George Mc
Keel.. who was home for nine days
before going to Shoemaker, Cal
ifornia. George has been at radio
school at Treasure island.
Ensign Bob Odell was also
at home for a few days before re
porting for duty at .San Fran
cisco.
Those who favor the elimination of finals advocate giving
more daily and weekly tests because these provide a more
accurate basis for grading and a stimulus for more conscien
tious study on the student's part. A greater number of tests
would, undoubtedly provide more accurate grades, but their
disadvantage is in the amount of time used in taking and
grading these frequent quizzes. As for a needed stimulus,
grade and high school students may need small tests to
check on their progress, but college students should surely
have learned to keep up their work without being checked
on constantly. If they haven't, a good remedy would be the
creation of a 'how to study' course for freshmen, stressing
better note-taking and the necessity for individual ini'tiative .
Many of the vocations to which college graduates aspire are
those in which there is very little daily supervision, the
final success or failure being a vital factor. Wednesday, May 23, 1945

HOW'S BUSINESS?
"Business is dull", remarked
the Scissors Grinder.
"Looking up," declared the As-
tronomer.
"De.ad", said the Undertaker.
"Fine," reported the Judge.
"Looking better," said the
Beauty Doctor.
"Fair," said the Car Conductor.
"Rotten," said the Egg man.l
"Pretty soft," said the: Mattress
Maker.
"Light," said the Gas 'Man.
"Ju~t sew· sew,"

"Bum," said the Hobo. ·
"Looking brighter,"" said
Boot. Black.
Sparle's Parle the
Commencement signifies the
completion · of college and also
the beginning of new adventures.
For the graduate, this is a ·very
special occasion. ·
About 70 years ago the women
graduates were majestically
gowned in long-sleeved high
necked formal dresses. It was
then the custom to present flow
ers to these "cover up ... girls. · In
1898, during the Spanish-Ameri
can war, -many college men had
left for the service. On gradua
tion day, the chair of one of the
members of the class who had left
for the Philippines was draped
·with a flag. Instead of a com
mencement speaker, a valedictory
was given in Latin. The degrees
were also conferred in Latin.
About 1910 the custom was for
all the members of the class to
give an oration instead of having
a m in speaker. This was follow
ed by the annual alumni break
fast. Other senior year activities
included a dinner given by the
President for the members of the
class and a commencement con
cert.
At present, it is the traditioa
for jhe faculty to give the. seniors
a breakfast. Caps and gowns are
worn at commencement which is
held on the east terrace of the
Women's building.

Students Visit Barnes
A group of women from the
campus Red Cross chapter pre
sented a musical progra.m at
Barnes hospital on May14. Norma
Wallace acted as mistress of cer
emonies for the program, which
included vocal solos by Gwen
Rucker, a violin solo by Connie
Berkey and trio numbers 'by Betty
Ross, Jean Brose and Joyce Og
den. Group singing was led by
Gwen Rucker. "I _like 'Don ~t Fence Me In!'
I think it's a better song than
'Shortin' Bread'~ou can quote
me on that." So said Lawrence
Tibbett when we interviewed him
_Tuesday afternoon in his Benson
hotel suite. Since his Portland
concert was called off because of
the singer's illness and as his doc
tor had ordered him not to use
his voic.e, we feel flattered that
he granted us a 30-minute inter
view.
He was very interested in the
new Northwest Opera association
being formed in Portland, partly
because he likes the idea of pre
senting operas in English und
mainly because he believes that ·
small companies over the nation
will acquaint more people with
this form of art and ~ill be ·a
boon to aspiring opera singers.
He has faith in opera becoming
as popular an entertainment as
motion pictures.

Sacajaweans Initiate Then we get down to. the tick
lish suQject of Hit Parade. And
his reason for it all seemed plaus
ible 'to us. He· believes that there
should be a breaking down of the
arbitrary line of demarcation be
tween classical and so-called pop
ular music. In college English he
means that he is trying _to bridge
the gap between long-hair and
jive. "Besides that, I just like
and enjoy popular music," he
added.
Mr. Tibbett had no particular
advice to offer you aspiring sing
. ers other than it takes a good
voice to begin with and hard
work after that.' He believes the
best teachers are ·here in the
United States and that .there is
a good hope for ·opera here in
the near future. He favors opera
o':'er his stage, screen and radio
work, his favorite being "Die
Meistersinger."
For those of you who have al
tered your condemning opinion
of Mr. Tibbett he will be back on
Hit. Parade June 2.

-Students Purchase
$100 Bond For Fund
Students at Lewis and Clark
college purchased a $100 war bond
for the college building fund, and
presented it to President Morgan
S. Odell at a recent assembly hon
oring his return from Occidental
college in California where he was
given an honorary degree,
· Dr. Odell told the students of
plans for e1(panding next year
not only the buildings, but the
faculty and departments of the
college, and challenged them to
merit the support of friend_s of the
college by striving for continual
growth in character and person
ality.
Fashion Noles
Our. springtime headliner is
cotton--cotton that has turned
from the home and country and
ventured into' higher circles. We
can expect to find cotton every
where this season--on the campus,
on the beach, in the office and
on that special date. The cotton
craze has hit our own campus,
as was shown on Cotton Day. Pat
Steen took top Cotton Day hon
ors with her perky cotton dress
of bright blue and white print,

Pioneering on the-Log
The PIONEER LOG has been a typical pioneering
project this year. Starting out last fall as the first printed
newspaper on Lewis and ·clark campus, it was not oilly
faced with the difficulties of war-time shortages, but a com
pletely inexperienced staff. It was willing and determined
however , that the Log would be a beginning for better papers
in the future, an4 under the capable leadership of Miss Joy
and unfailing help of our printers, the first edition of the
Pioneer Log went to press. Credit can not be given to any
one person, because every name on the masthead stands for
vital contributions and a lot of hard work on every issue.
And so to each member of the staff and to Miss Joy we
want to say a humble thank you in appreciation of the
cooperation you have given this year ..
Bettie Hopkins.
Invitation to Pionee1·s
The editor and staff of the Pioneer Log have· shared the
discouragement of unheeded deadlines , the hopelessness of
lost cuts and copy, the embarrassment of misplaced type,
but carried through the difficulties together until they have
become capable and reliant journalists.
Volume "one" has laid a firm foundation and set a high
standard; it has been exciting and rewarding for those who
took part in its creation, and it holds out a promise and an
invitation for Pioneers to come.

Semester examinations always bring up the students'
question, "Are exams really worthwhile?" Some schools
have dispensed with them,_ but in the majority o_f colleges
,the te~chers still spend much time preparing and correcting
lengthy exams while the students "cram".
Exam wee·ks invariably leave the students completely
exhausted, soon to forget the information they have compiled
in that period. Knowledge is not acquired in that way. !}ow
much more logical to give more frequent tests and exams
during the school year and dispense with semester examina
tions entirely. Such a program would cettainly give a more
accurate report of the students' knowledge . . -* * *
Final examinations are not !_air tests of knowledge be
cause by the time the tests are administered the student's
mind is so confused with dates, information and facts which
he has crammed into his brain within a week . or so, that
he isn't capable of good reasoning and clear thinking.
Too much stress and importance is placed on final ex
aminations and the average student feels that the episode is
a matter of life or death, which keys up his emotions, makes
him tense, extremely irritable and nervous, thus having a
bad effect on his entire system.
The succeeding term begins within a few days and there
is such a let-down following examination s that the student
fails to do his best work for a few weeks.
There should be at least one week of rest and recupera
tion between terms in which no studying is expected and
school completely erased from the mind.
In order to eliminate final tests, more weekly examina
tions should be given, which would cover the term's work
more thoroughly, and attitude in class, daily response and
voluntary outside work should be taken more into considera
tion.
* * *
"Final exams do more harm than good on our college
campuses." Thus, many modern educators decry our examin
ations on the grounds that they leave the student ·in a state
of mental and physical fatigue. We know that this is often
true, but why? The usual reasons why a student works him
self into a state of frenzy during exam week are that he
has a mistaken idea on the importance of the final and he is
trying to cram into one evening an amount of study which
should have been spread over several weeks' time. Actually,
the amount that the final exam counts toward term grades
at Lewis and Clark is up to the indivdual instructor,. and
seldom does it alter one's term grade except in borderline
cases.
We grant that exam week is a pretty busy time, but
it's up to the student whether or not it will get him down.
It's a good idea to get accustomed to times of mental strain
during college, for in later business and personal life, we
are bound to have similar experiences, qnd it will be good to
have learned how to face them intelligently.
The valqe of the final examination is largely in the
review it brings about. Repetition is one of the chief factors
in. learning, ~and in s~udying for finals, the student is sup
posedly repeating material previously learned, thereby mak
ing it less likely to be forgotten. Another advantage in tak
ing finals (providing the stress lies on main points rather
than trivialities) is that the student sees the course in the
light of the whole rather than in disconnected parts. PIONEER LOG --...... --. ---PERSONALITY OF
THE-MONTH -~ .-:.• --.:..... -- ~ ---~~~~JU!lW
Our campuS' personality this
month is Leland Rubesh, a senior
majoring in history and minoring
in so.cial science.
Lee carne to Oregon from Ne
_braska in the fall of 1941 and at
tended hia fiq;t. two years of col
lege here. Last year he returned
to his home· state and went to
Hastings college.
This year he has been active in
our campus activities. As business
manager of the Pioneer Log he
has been· a driving spirit in mak
ing the new project of a printed
paper a success. He has also
been business manager of the
basketball team and secretary of
the senior class.
After being graduated in June
with a B.A. degree, Lee expects
to return to Nebraska to work on
his father's farm. Eventually he
hopes to attend and be graduated
from San Anselmo Theological
seminary and go to Alaska for
missionary work.
A year and a half ago, Leland
was married to ·Doris Jones, class
of '43, who has served for th~
past year as executive secretary
of the Alumni association.
Since last March Lee has been
student pastor at Trinity Presby-
terian church. '
Asked what he likes to do for
amusement, he said, "In summer
I like to fish, and in winter I like
to ice skate." Another favorite
pastime is haunting old book
stores. His favorite S\lbject is
philosophy.
To both Lee and Doris who
have helped in many ways to put
Lewis and Clark "on the map",
we offer our sincerest wishes for
happiness throughout their lives.
Mrs. Evans wondered after Mr.
Evans was knighted on May Day
if that made her a "k-ni-ghtmare ". WEDDING BELLS

Wonder what the little ducks
in the reflection pool thought
when they saw dignified Prof.
Walker wading toward them with
-camera in hand, his shoes and
stockings on the shore, and pants
rolled up to his knees? This took
place early one Sunday morning
when Mr. Walker was sure every
one else was still in bed.
Service Men's News
Navy blue was the outstanding
attraction on the campus during
the past month when three of our
favorite sailors were home on
!~aves.
We first noticed RT 3/c George
Cole beating out a little boogie
while he was home for a few
days from New York before leav
ing for a part of embarkation.
George was president o-f the fresh
man class last year and a mem
ber of Sigma Alpha Sigma when
he joined the navy. · .
S 2/c Saul Zaik, a member of
this year's freshman class, was·
recetly horne from boot camp at
Sa~ Diego. He reported back to
San Diego for further assignment.
Another member of last' year's
freshman class and of Sigma Al
pha Sigma is RT 2/c George Mc
Keel.. who was home for nine days
before going to Shoemaker, Cal
ifornia. George has been at radio
school at Treasure island.
Ensign Bob Odell was also
at home for a few days before re
porting for duty at .San Fran
cisco.
Those who favor the elimination of finals advocate giving
more daily and weekly tests because these provide a more
accurate basis for grading and a stimulus for more conscien
tious study on the student's part. A greater number of tests
would, undoubtedly provide more accurate grades, but their
disadvantage is in the amount of time used in taking and
grading these frequent quizzes. As for a needed stimulus,
grade and high school students may need small tests to
check on their progress, but college students should surely
have learned to keep up their work without being checked
on constantly. If they haven't, a good remedy would be the
creation of a 'how to study' course for freshmen, stressing
better note-taking and the necessity for individual ini'tiative .
Many of the vocations to which college graduates aspire are
those in which there is very little daily supervision, the
final success or failure being a vital factor. Wednesday, May 23, 1945

Sparle's Parle the
Commencement signifies the
completion · of college and also
the beginning of new adventures.
For the graduate, this is a ·very
special occasion. ·
About 70 years ago the women
graduates were majestically
gowned in long-sleeved high
necked formal dresses. It was
then the custom to present flow
ers to these "cover up ... girls. · In
1898, during the Spanish-Ameri
can war, -many college men had
left for the service. On gradua
tion day, the chair of one of the
members of the class who had left
for the Philippines was draped
·with a flag. Instead of a com
mencement speaker, a valedictory
was given in Latin. The degrees
were also conferred in Latin.
About 1910 the custom was for
all the members of the class to
give an oration instead of having
a m in speaker. This was follow
ed by the annual alumni break
fast. Other senior year activities
included a dinner given by the
President for the members of the
class and a commencement con
cert.
At present, it is the traditioa
for jhe faculty to give the. seniors
a breakfast. Caps and gowns are
worn at commencement which is
held on the east terrace of the
Women's building.

Students Visit Barnes

sented a musical progra.m at

Wallace acted as mistress of cer
emonies for the program, which
included vocal solos by Gwen
Rucker, a violin solo by Connie
Berkey and trio numbers 'by Betty
Ross, Jean Brose and Joyce Og
den. Group singing was led by
Gwen Rucker. "I _like 'Don ~t Fence Me In!'
I think it's a better song than
'Shortin' Bread'~ou can quote
me on that." So said Lawrence
Tibbett when we interviewed him
_Tuesday afternoon in his Benson
hotel suite. Since his Portland
concert was called off because of
the singer's illness and as his doc
tor had ordered him not to use
his voic.e, we feel flattered that
he granted us a 30-minute inter
view.
He was very interested in the
new Northwest Opera association
being formed in Portland, partly
because he likes the idea of pre
senting operas in English und
mainly because he believes that ·
small companies over the nation
will acquaint more people with
this form of art and ~ill be ·a
boon to aspiring opera singers.
He has faith in opera becoming
as popular an entertainment as
motion pictures.

Sacajaweans Initiate Then we get down to. the tick
lish suQject of Hit Parade. And
his reason for it all seemed plaus
ible 'to us. He· believes that there
should be a breaking down of the
arbitrary line of demarcation be
tween classical and so-called pop
ular music. In college English he
means that he is trying _to bridge
the gap between long-hair and
jive. "Besides that, I just like
and enjoy popular music," he
added.
Mr. Tibbett had no particular
advice to offer you aspiring sing
. ers other than it takes a good
voice to begin with and hard
work after that.' He believes the
best teachers are ·here in the
United States and that .there is
a good hope for ·opera here in
the near future. He favors opera
o':'er his stage, screen and radio
work, his favorite being "Die
Meistersinger."
For those of you who have al
tered your condemning opinion
of Mr. Tibbett he will be back on
Hit. Parade June 2.

Our. springtime headliner is
cotton--cotton that has turned
from the home and country and
ventured into' higher circles. We
can expect to find cotton every
where this season--on the campus,
on the beach, in the office and
on that special date. The cotton
craze has hit our own campus,
as was shown on Cotton Day. Pat
Steen took top Cotton Day hon
ors with her perky cotton dress
of bright blue and white print,
, with crisp, white "pinafore-style"
ruffles.

sophomore women's service club,
held its first initiation, a candle·
light ceremony, May 21 at 7:30

of the corsages which were pre
