Faculty Members
In starting the new school
year, Lewis and Clark has been
fortunate in securing the ser­
vices of several new faculty
members.
Dr. Norman F. Coleman, form­
er president of Reed College in
1925, has become instructor in
upper division religion and phil­
osophy at Lewis and Clark. Also
teaching in the field of religion
and philosophy is Dr. Mervyn E.
Moss, assistant pastor of the First
Presbyterian church and instruc­
tor of lower division Bible at
the college.
The enlargement of Lewis and
Clark's department of music has
made possible the addition of
new instructors in this field.
Professor John Stark Evans,
who for 25 years was organist,
conductor, and instructor of mus­
ic theory at the University of
Oregon has become the director
of the department of music the­
ory, harmony, and applied music
in organ.
Also of the music department
is Mr. Karl D. Ernst, instructor
of public school music. As sup­
ervisor of music in the city
schools, Mr. Ernst will have
charge of the classes in public
school music and will super­
vjse the practice teaching of
students anticipating this work.
These are four of the twelve
new faculty members at Lewis
and Clark. We of the college
sincerely hope that the coming
year will be one of success and
s~isfaction for each one of them.
Fall Enrollment Shows
25 Per Cent Increase
Enrollment is 25 per cent
higher now that it was last fall,
with a 53 per cent increase in
new students.
Transfers from other institu­
tions make up nearly 15 per cent
of the student body, which rep­
resents 11 different states, in­
cluding New York, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Oklahoma, North and
South Dakota, with the largest
number from Washington.
The total enrollment is 120
students, of which 29 are men,
among them enlisted men pre­
paring for professional services
in the army, disabled veterans,
and ministerial students.
According to Dr. L. 0. Mc­
Afee, two thirds of the increase
is thought to be due to the in­
terest in the new music depart­
ment under the leadership of
Professor John Stark Evans.
Freshman enrollment has in­
creased from 49 last fall to 64
this term, while the senior en­
rollment has decreased to nine
now from 17 last fall.
Odell Speaks at Church
Dr. Odell spoke at Rose City
Presbyterian church· recently,
about the plans for the college.
The newly created girl's trio
consisting of Jean Brose, Joyce
Ogden, and Betty Ross sang
"Lift Thine Eyes" from Men­
delssohn's "Elijah".

Doltz Fund Books
Added to Library
Outstanding among recent ad­
ditions to the Lewis and Clark
college library are a number of
new books obtaine<i through the
Doltz Memorial fund, given in
memory of Dr. Paul Doltz, re­
tired Presbyterian missionary to
the Philippin-e Islands, who died
in Portland in 1943. Dr. Doltz
spent 35 years as an evangelist
and teacher in Silliman Institute,
and in his memory, this collection
includes books on education and
religion in the Philippines, as well
as several basic works on Philip­
pine history.
One of these books, The Silent
Billion Speak, was written by an­
other former missionary to the
·Phillippine Islands, Frank C.
Laubach , whose unique system of
teaching illi.terates to read is
described in the September is­
sue of The Reader's Digest. Dr.
Laubach is scheduled to speak in
Portland this week.
Other · Doltz Memorial fund
books which may now be found
on the 'new book shelf' in the
library are Mother America, by
Carlos Romulo; CroiiB Winds of
Empire. by Woodbern E. Reming­
ton; From Carabao to Clipper. by
E. K. ·and I. W. Higdon; West of
the Date Line. by Catherine Port­
er; Spanish Begins in the Philip­
pine•. by Edward J. MacCarthy;
Orphans of the Pacific, by Flor­
ence Horn; History of the Philip·
pines, by David P. Barrows; The
Philippines. a Study in National
Development. by Joseph Ralston
Hayden; and The Philippines, Past
and Present. by Dean Worcester.
In cooperation with the projects
of the Pacific Northwest libraries
to specialize in certain topics,
Lewis and Clark has undertaken
to cover the subject of education
and religion in the Philippines , a
selection which was made possible
by the Doltz Memorial fund.

Blue Ribbons To Roses
One-fifth of a formerly im­
penetrable forest of wild roses
has been converted into its
former state of orderliness. This
improvement is the result of
volunteer labor by Portland bus­
iness men under the leadership
of E. Victor Creed, president of
the Men's Garden Club of Lewis
and Clark college.
Over 260 roses have been
planted and room left for 400
more. Fertilizers and sprays are
supplied by interested people
and firms. ·
In the spring rose show, six
blue ribbons were awarded our
roses, while in the fall show
recently we won every prize
available in the division.
Roses which have recently
been developed are being test­
ed in our garden. Some of these
new types are Fantasia, Show
Girl, Mrs. Miniver and Gray
Pearl.
Mr. Creed expressed the
thought that students interested
in rose gardening as a hobby
are welcome to learn about._foses
during Saturday afternoons do­
ing actual work in the rose gar­
den.

"Pardon me, but can you tell
me where an alien goes to reg­
ister?" Honestly, the tables are
turned this year; it is we olcf
students who feel swallowed up
in all these new .faces. But don't
misunderstand ; we're·n t kicking.
In fact,. we're just bustin' with
pride to see our enrollment en­
larged so.
The situation proves a bit em­
barrassing, however, for those. of
us who "just can't remember
names." The difficulty wHh us
is in remembering the right faces
at the wrong times. So in the
future simply overlook it if some­
one bounds up and greets you
with "Well, hello-o ther-ub,
glub-Oh, I'm sorry, I thought
you were someone I know."
(AIJide to the men) "Glaad to see ya." You've saved us girls
from ·'the embarrassing situation
of explaining to visitors that ours
is a coed college.
Seriously ·, though, we can see
. a grand future. We hope you
newcomers will aCquire the same
feeling of love and pride for our
Ailna Mater that we experience.
Here we have a case of give
and take. Lewis and Clark has a
great deal to offer you if you'll
take advantage of it; and you, in
return, must pledge' your loyal
suppOrt to the idealS and tradi­
tions for which this college
stands. To a great extent the
cotlege b what we students make
it. Let's keep this a better-than­
ever student body.

I ·By Norma YOU!lg
The eagerly anticipated advent­
ures of collegiate life were now
at hand as many of us freshmen
realized when we entered the
Lewis and Clark campus on that
first day of the otientation period.
In spite of our enormous green
ribbons and little freshie caps,
which were forced upon us, we
managed to have a good time and
get acquainted with the campus
during the tours, picnics, dances
and other activities.
A1J the faculty were fonnally
presented to us in a chapel meet­
ing and again when several of
the faculty members very in­
fol:ll"lally entertained us with the
can-can in the social hall, we
learned that the satisfaction of
good times as-well as the lifts of knowledge are enjoyed by all at
·Lewis and Clark.
we also discovered that a stu­
dent in this small college is not
considered as one unit in the
great mass of a student body,
but that each one of us has a
chance to become an individual.
While our college, like us, is
yet new," we know that it will
develop greatly . But may the
unique CQmbination of the sim­
ple, natural, wooded grounds plus
the traditional diJDity of the
orginal estate not be lost in the
growing process.
And u we continue our educa­
tion and go out into the world we
shall not only. be proud to say
"I belong to Lewis alfd Clark",
but "Lewis and Clark be­
longs I to me; I helped btilld her." ' .

Year of Victory
This is the Victory year, and with it we welcome to our
campus not only those who have been members of the· armed
forces, but also those who have been in the defense indus­
tries. As a college, we jlave begun the work of education
without the interference of war for the first time since 1941.
We rejoice in the tremendous increase in enrollment, which
is an indication not only of the desire for higher education,
but very real evidence that our kind of college program is of
interest to an increasing number of persons.
Colleges such as Lewis and Clark are born and live
through the hard work and generous gifts of a great com­
pany of friends. Whatever any one of us can do to help
realize the dreams of these founders and friends for the
training of an intelligent and humane citizenry, is the neces­
sary contribution to be made to the success o~ Lewis and
Clark college. Our building needs are very great, and it is to
be hoped that they may be in part realized during this Vic-
tory year. Morgan S. Odell, President
Let's Be Atomic
School days are here again-a continuation for some and
a new start for others, particularly the vets. This means a
tough grind in hitting the books. It also means games, parties,
clubs, dances, yell teams and many other activities.
We can see committees of you students planning these
events. Others are striving to carry out these plans for the
enjoyment of the rest of the student body and its friends.
These workers are you.
Please let us help you to carry out your plans and new
new ideas. Let's be more than the Associated -Students of
Lewis and Clark college; let's be the Atomic students of
Lewis and Clark college.

IN MEMORIUM
The death last summer of Dr.
Harriet Smith, .instructor in biolo­
gy at Lewis and Clark, has left
many of us with a feeling of per­
sonal loss. She was with us only
one year but in that time she
endeared herself to many of the
students and to the faculty. Her
winsome smile and her willing­
ness to take part in all sorts of
college activities will not soo~
be forgotten.
In her brief life she succeeded
not only in attaining distinction
as a geneticist, but in being elect­
ed to many honorary societi~s,
among them Phi Kappa Phi, Sig­
ma Xi, and Phi Beta Kappa. She
had a remarkable mind, graduat­
ing with honors from high school,
college and university.
One of her hobbies was moun­
tain climbi.;og, and another, color
photography. She was also a great
lover of children and was most
successful in the guidance of
young people in outdoor sports
and in camp life. • • • ' A gold star is added to the

accomplished pianist, ,member of
Alpha Pi Mu, president and ac­
companist for the chorus, his
musical talents were well known.
He served also as president of his
fraternity, Alpha Rho Omega,
and on the Inter-fraternity-sor­
ority Council. •·
He gave unselfishly to his
school and to his country, always
ready to help where he was .need­
ed; his spirit and his achieve~
ments will not be soon forgotten
and his record will stand as a
challenge to the students of Lewis
and Clark college.
New Dorm Under Way
' The newest building on the
campus will be the, men's dorm
now under way, with the excava­
tion being completed. The foun­
dations will be poured in the near
future.
The time of completion will
depend on the lumber strike
which is holding up the delivery
of materials . A $16,000 building,
with the capacity of 22 men, the
all-wood structure will use ply­
wood extensively throughout.
The sleeping quarters will
house eleven double bunks. A
lounge, showers and lavatories
will take up a section. The rest'
will be comfortable rooms, three
men to a room. Clothes closets,
dressers and desks will make the
main furnishings of each room.
It is expected that the dorm
will be .filled completely as there
were many men who had planned
to stay on the campus. A kitchen
for snacks, and a laundry room
will be added comforts for the
men· who live there. ·--------------------------
PIONEER LOG

We wish to say a special word
about McGredy's Ivory-the one

a green ribbon for Hatch week.

To be elected to Erodelphians,
senior women's honorary, is per­
haps the highest honor that a
Lewis and Clark woman can re-
. ceive.
The Erodelphian society, the
oldest organization on the campus,
held its first meeting on Novem­
ber 23, 1871-nearly seventy-four
years ago. It was originally a lit­
erary society which published a
college paper and secured some
two hundred volumes of litera­
ture for the library.
At the sugestion of Dr. Wallace
Howe Lee, former president of
the college, the organization was
reorganized in 1933 as an honor­
ary with the intent that its mem­
bers should perform service and
preserve the traditions of the col­
lege. Twelve women, from each
of the sophomore, junior, and sen­
ior classes, each year made up
the membership of the Erodel­
phians. They were chosen because
they were outstanding in leader­
ship and scholarship and in per-forming service. to the college.
Since 1938, Erodelphians has
been an honorary for senior ~o­
men only. Six members or less
are chosen from the junior class
as Erodelphians for the next year,
and their selection is announced
on May Day. Retiring members
present to the new group cor­
sages of white carnations tied
with black and orange· ribbons,
the college colors.
When the college moved to
this campus in the summer of
1942 and. the pirate lore of Albany
gave way to the new pioneer
spirit, the emblem which the
Erodelphians wear on white
sweaters was changed from the
pirate ship design to its present
form. The Erodelphians in 1942-
43 asked Dr. Carl Salomon to de­
sign a new emblem. It has a torch
of leadership at its center and four
bars representing the standards
of high scholarship, leadership,
character and personality by
which members are chosen.
Members this year are Connie
Berkey, president, Pat Wing, sec­
retary, Yola Baldassarre, Evelyn
Sparlin and Eloise Volpe!. Mrs ..
Meier is adviser for the group.
The Alma Mater
1. Stahding by Willamette's
waters,
Towering o'er the blue,
Rises our dear Alma Mater ,
Proudly to the view.
Chorus
Swell the chorus, ever louder,
Full of joy and cheer,
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Lewis and Clark, so dear.
2. Where the town and snow­
capped mountains
Charm the heart and eye;
There our love will center ever,
Love that cannot die.
3. For our love, 0 Alma Mater,
Time cannot outwear,
We will ever sing thy praises,
Lewis and Clark so dear.

Fashion Noles
There's a well-known saying
that history repeats itself, and it
seems to be particularly tru~ in
fashions again this year_.:.. the
sweaters and skirts are back
again!
Valerie Isler wears a light blue
"V" neck sweater with a navy­
blue checked skirt, an attractive
combination. Also note her white
cashmere . Plaids of various colors
are popular this season. Good
examples of this are Jackie Sher.
bert's multi-colored plaid skirt
. and matching bandana, also Pat
Johnson's red plaid skirt which
makes you stop and look.
There is an excess wearing of
green-Especially hair ribbons.
In fact, there are some 110 being
worn at the time on the same
days .. Peculiar, isn't it? However,
some of \he upperclassmen wear
green too. Have · you seen that
grass green cable knit sweater
with the white angora trim that
Deen Tellwright wears?
Every girl knows that the little
things in life are the ones that
.count. Some of the "little" things
that make us perk up and take
notice are Jack Delapoer in that
blue "V" neck barrel sweater,
white shirt and brown ·slacks; Bill
Wilson in his red jacket, white
shirt and cords, and Dick ·Foster
in his broW.n £weed sport jacket
and slacks. We .mustn't overlook .
that letterman sweater that Don
Shick wears either.

Pinza Proves
Fascinating
By Karen Lafky
About the most fascinating per­
sonality yet interviewed for the
Log is Ezio Pinza (At'zeeo Pen'­
tza( who was in Portland in a con­
cert appearence last month. Con­
sidered one. of the best singers in
the Met today, he possesses a rich
bass voice so flexible and lyric
that it does not convey the frog­
like impression of the barbershop
quartet basso. Provipg himself as
good an ac;tor and interpreter as
a singer, he held his audience as
if with a . spell of magic.
Harpers · magazine · last year
voted him one of the 14 most
glamorous men in the world. It
is no wonder! That, one could
easily discern from the stage and
especially after talking to him.
He possesses a unique .blend of
ultra physique, Latin charm and
curly hair. He was born in Rome
and started singing-on the ad­
vice of a friend--at the age of
19. About vocal studies he ad­
vises to go slow.
"That's the trouble with Amer­
ica. Too much hurry," he de­
clares.
Pinza is currently appearing
with the San Francisco opera com­
pany in si~ performances, includ­
ing one he recently recorde~,
"Boris Godounoff". He h~!,s no
favorite role, but instead, "I like
best the one I am singing at the
time."
Despite his reputation as a gla­
mour boy, Pinza is a devoted
family man. He has been mar-·
·ried twice. Any children? "Yaz,
one child wiz da first wife and
two childs wiz da second."
Our hats are off to basso Ezio
Pinza whom we will always think
of in our most reverent term,

· Gilchrists New,
But Not Frosh
All the newcomers to the cam­
pus, strange as it may seem, are
not freshmen. For instance, Mr.
and Mrs. Gilchrist. We have all
met Mr .Gilchrist through the
medium of the business office
and Mrs. Gilchrist through her
capable help in the library.
"There's lots of work here,"
was Mr. Gilchrist 's comment
when being interrupted at the
beginning of one of his busy days.
Last year he was principal and
superintendent of Estacada Union
high school after having been
superintendent of Sutherlin Pub­
lic schools. Mr. Gilchrist is a grad­
uate of Detroit college and has a
batchelor of science degree from
the School of Administration of
the University of Oregon.
Mrs. Gilchrist has a very per.
sonal interest and connection
with Lewis and Clark college due
to the fact that one of our former
presidents, Dr. Green, was a fac­
ulty member of her alma mater,
Parsons college. A family rela­
tionship also exists because one·
of our former faculfy members,
Professor Baker, is Mrs. Gil­
christ's brother-in-law's father.
You figure it out-your reporter
couldn't.
Large Group Oriented
Lewis and Clark college enter­
tained 130 new students with
orientation activities on the cam­
pus during the last week in Sep­
tember. This was more ! than
double the number of last year's
orientation group.
The week's program of. social
activities included -an informal
reception at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. Odell, two firesides and an
informal dance in the social hall.
Entrance tests covering a broad
field of subjects were given each
day.
The committee in charge of
arrangements included Warren
Niete, Lois Fitzgibbon, Carolyn
Berkey, Donald Shick, Marily
Luster, ·Karolee J)ietrich, Miss
Freeda Hartzfeld, Dr. Charles W.
Howard, Dr. L. 0. McAfee, Dr.

Dr. Morgan S. Odell was the
main speaker at the first luncheon
meeting of United War Chest
campaign leaders Monday, Octo­
ber 8, at the Multnomah hotel. By Ed Geiger
Don't be alarmed if you hear
many horrible groans, screams
and loud cracking sounds drifting
up from the east end of the
campus -it's just Coach Matty
Mathews putting his physical
education boys through their
paces.
The so-called "he-men", who
swell their chests and puff up
their muscles in a proud fashion
when around co-eds, take a dif­
ferent attitude when Matty starts
shouting orders. Many a supposed
superman has dropped out of a
back breaking exercise by claim­
ing that his floating rib is on the
loose again or that his orphadi­
costoncroutalatum is up to its old
tricks. After a half hour of these
inhuman torturesom e gesticula-. .
Lincoln Topic Today
Lincoln will be the topic for
discussion in today's World Af­

dean of the college. A combination
of literature and current events
will be used as a source of con­
tent for writing, speaking and

Dr. Coleman, Dr. Carl Salom9n,
Mr. Benjamin A. Thax~er and

Any students with experien~e
or interest in newsp'lper work
should speak to one of the editors
and receive try-out assignments
on the Log staff. Assistants in the
business department of the paper
are also needed.
The Pioneer Log will be pub­
lished every other Monday this
year instead of monthly, as pre­
viously.
ATTENTION tions, the boys have their choice
of tossing around a basketball or
smashing out in a game of foot­
ball. After watching the boys
crash into each other on the grid­
iron, a bystander reaches the con­
clusion that they are none the
worse for wear.
All the men of our beloved almn
mater seriously hope that Mr.
Mathews will build them up co
that they will look even more
appealing to the girls.
Missionary Speaks
On Pre-War Japan
Rev. David P. Martin, mission­
ary to Japan for seven years,
spoke Tuesday to the Christian
Fellowship on his work in that
country prior to the war. At the
outbreak of hostilities he trans­
ferred to the Philippines where
he eluded the Japanese invaders
for seven months by hiding in the
hills. He. was finally captured and
interned at Los Banos prison
camp, where he was later liber­
ated by American troops.
Arleen Deedon of Salem, presi­
dent of Christian fellowship, pre­
sided at the meeting which was
the first in the new academic

task before them w'hen they un­
dertake to explore our 64-acre
campus. To make 'their task
easier, we· will endeavor to en­
lighten them when they begin
exploring. Our first impulse is to.
want to see everything at once.
As this is impossible to do, we
will slowly make observations
about the campus.
This estate, built in 1924, which
was called Fir Acres, belonged to
Lloyd Frank, Trea,surer of Meier
and Frank Company . The esti-­
mated original cost of this estate
is $1,300,0:00, but the college
purchased it for less than ·half
this price.
Dr. Odell's home at the main
entrance was the. gatekeep!'!r's
lodge. A gar·age was transformed
into our Copeland Memorial
Chapel with a seating ca'pacity of
200. Gardeners' tools were once
stored where the music depart­
ment is now located ,the roof of
this ' building carrying a huge
lead dove cote. A former '20-car1
garage is now the main class­
room area, and in the basement
of this building was the mush­
room cellar which is now the
physics laboratory .. One green­
house houses the library,. which
has a capa~ity for 25)l00 volumes,
and the biological laboratory was
formerly a fully equipped botan­
ical conservatory.

By unanimous decision of the
LOG staff, President Morgan S.
Odell was selected the first per­
son to be honored in "Salute to
a Pioneer," a feature introduced
in this issue which will pay trib­
ute to some individual who has
performed some outstanding serv­
ice for the school. As one staff
member put it, "Dr. Odell has
done more for the college than
anyone else has. ever ~one or
could ever do."
Dr. Odell came to the presi­
dency of Lewis and Clark col­
lege on June 1, 1942, and in a
month had engineere .d the pur-
._shase of our present campus.
Since then he has not only pro­
moted the. Master Plan for Cam­
pus Development-;-a 25-year ex­
pansion program, but cleared the
college of all debt. Under his
leadership, the college enroll­
ment has more than doubled and
many splendid faculty melnbers
have been added to the staff.·
These are only a· few of the good
things that have come our way
in the three and· one-half . years
Dr. Odell has been here. 'Well
known as an educator in this
area, he is a favorite ·with both
students and·faculty,-not only as
an outstanding coUege president,
but also· as a grand person and
friend.
