Matty Mathews Makes Men c!~~~~~ e:~:ci~s officers FACULTY FAME
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
fairs assembly, led by Dr. Nor­
man F. Coleman, lecturer in lit­
erature and philosophy. The new
plan for teaching freshman Eng­
lish was developed by Dr. Cole­
man and Dr. Charles W. Howard,
dean of the college. A combination
of literature and current events
will be used as a source of con­
tent for writing, speaking and
discussion in the various English
classes which will be taught by
Dr. Coleman, Dr. Carl Salom9n,
Mr. Benjamin A. Thax~er and
Mrs. Frances Berry Turrell.
Two poem~, pertain,ing to the­
west, and written by .Joaquin
Miller and Edwin .Markham, were
read at the ai'Seinbly last week.

issue. Pertnanent appointments
to complete the staff will be
announced in the next issue.
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
year. Jon Hosford and John Ber­
nau assisted in conducting the
assembly, and music was supplied
by Ann Brooks and Dorothy
Kirkwood.
Hudson Spe~s at Convo
Rev. Thomas Franklyn Hudson
of Westminster · P r e s byterian
church, and member of the board
of trustees of the college, spoke
at the opening convocation on the
subject "Culture and Self-Sacri-
fice." He stressed especially the
fact that both culture and self
sacrifice were necessary to tlie
betterment of the world, but one
without the other was of no value.
Dr. Morgan S. Odell, president
of the college, presided and pre­
sented Hopkins Jenkins, a mem­
ber of the board of trustees, and
former principal of Jefferson high
school.
The invocation was give!) by
Rev. William Lindsay of the Lake

Freshmen Score High
On Entrance Testing
Scores from the freshman en­
trance tests in English and psy­
chology show that a number of
students made excellent r~cords,
according to Dr. L. 0, McAfee,
registrar.
Martha Ferguson, Grant, made
the highest score i.t;~ the English
test. Those following in order are
Virginia Carter, Grant; Phyllis
Rusher, Tillamook Union; Mary
Gaines, Jefferson; . Ray Barrier,
~elmont, Los Angeles; Arietta
Craig, Milwaukie; Margaret Au~d,
Lincoln; Patricia Pike, Washing­
ton; Janet Luther, Grant; Cassie
Adams, Lincoln; Nancy Meigs,
Grant, and Phyllis Bates, Wash­
ington.
Mary Gaines placed first in the
psychological ~xams with a score
of 153 .. Martha Ferguson made
150, and Virginia Carter and·
N.ancy Meigs each . made 140.
Others placing above 130 include
Cameron Thompson, Franklin;
Franklin Sanders, Hillsboro Uni­
on; Morris Pederson, Benson;
Margaret Auld; Phyllis Rusher;
LeRoy Wirtz, Banks· Union; Ray
Barrier; Alberta Barrier; Virgin­
ia Rose Imes, Jefferson; Janet
Luther; Billy Thomas, Roosevelt;
Gerald Baker, Birmingham, Ala­
bama, and Harry Geil, Fra11:klin . The freshmen really have a
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.
Commissioners Named

ers appointed by Warren Niete

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.

Word to the Freshmen:
You freshmen are to be complimented for the way you
cooperated during the Hatch Week. You have shown that
you are good sports. We appreciate the fact and are very
glad to have you here. We know it is hard to become ad­
justed to college life after high school or the service, so
if you need any advice concerning the school or your work,
feel free to come ~o any of the upperclassmen and we will
try to help you.
We hope you will continue to cooperate and help us as
the year progresses since that is the only way in which
we can be successful in the things we undertake.
Joyce Ogden
President of Senior Class
They Have the Pioneer Spirit
We, the lowly but numerically superior freshmen, have
been indoctrinated according to the tradition of Lewis and
Clark college and also with the deviltries of which the
upperclassmen are capable. We are proud ~o assume our
place in the ranks that constitute ·the student body and
we intend to make our mark in the annals of the college.
Our class will strive and contribute to its advancement.
In the true pioneer spirit we will meet whatever obstacles
are placed in our path and we shall conquer them.
We ask of you, the upperclassmen, to show us, teach
us, help us. We, the class of '49, will do you proud.

~et's Be More Friendly
Our student body today is over twice as 'large as it was
a year ago, ·and already we are catching glimpses of the ad-
. vantages derived from a flood of new students. It's downright
inspiring to see the enthusiasm they've brought with them
and the new 'ideas that have been popping up all over the
campus; but in our growth to bigger and better student
activities, let's not lose sight of .some of the qualities of the._
old Lewis and Clark that won for it it's reputations as the
"friendly college."
· Most of the new students may not know it, but we have
an old custom that everyone says hello to everyone else he
meets here on the campus. It certainly doesn't take much
energy or brain work to trade a quick hello with the folks
we see on the road between classes, and it does create a
friendly atmosphere. M~ny a campus visitor in the past has
commented on the friedliness of our students, and we don't
want to give them cause for any observations to the con­
trary now, just because of our rapid growth.
Let's revive the "Hello!" custom and keep Lewis and
Clark on the map as the "friendly college."

THE BARK
OF THE LOG
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Dear Editor:
Many's the time I've resolved
to find a nice comfortable place
to study, comparatively quiet,
too. My search has usually ended
with the lounge. Since the lounge
is a gathering place primarily
for non-resident women who
want not only to study but to
look at magazines as well, it
seems highly appropriate to have
light enough by which to read.
Since the library is so crowded
this year, and all possible space
is necessary , the lounge coultl
be made available to more wom­
en students by the improvement
of the lighting system. As it is,
it is hard to tell if you are look­
ing at this month's VOGUE, or
Kirt Wurtbillkabraun's illustrated
book "Bats Through the Ages."
To keep my eyesight and my
mentality (for the sake of my
professors) please, why not have
a little more light on the sub-

Respectfully,
A Worried Sophomore. It's e m b a r r a s s i n g when
people we want to make a good
impression · on during Wednes­
days' chapels are greeted with
a bedlam of 150 shouting, run­
ning, laughing individuals. We
wonder how these speakers think
we are on other days if this be
our· dignified best for chapel. We
hate to k~p hearing, "You're in
college now," but it might be
a good thing to rem-ember.

NAMES AND FACES
By DOROTHY KIRKWOOD
Among our new freshman stu­
dents we are finding an increas­
ing number of interesting people.
Let's get acqpainted with a few
more of our welcome newcomers!
Gloria Olson. a graduate of
Grant high school, came to OrP.­
gon four yearll ago from Weiser,
Idaho. She likes movies and in
her spare time enjoys playing
the piano. Her singing during
orientation week established her
well on the road to fame at Lewis
and Clark. She is a music ma­
jor and likes it very much here.
We were just getting acquaint­
ed with Ed Geiger, one of our
new yell kings, who graduated
last June from Washington high,
when he left this week for the
army. He hopes to come back
here after he finishes his duties
with Uncle Sam. Ed is inter­
ested in radio announcing and
sportscasting . His favorite sports
are baseball, ping pong and driv­
ing in his merry Oldsmobile.
Blonde and blue-eyed Billie
Ryburn, a Lincoln graduate, is
another music major. She sings
with the KOIN Duncan singers
and was a member of the Lin­
coln trio. Her favorite sport IS
basketball, but her main inter­
ests center in the field of music.
Her rich contralto voice . is a
valuable addition to any singing
,group. She is a member of our
college choir.
Dick Long, who graduated
from Gresham high last June .i.s
majoring in business administra­
ion. He was elected acting
president of the freshman class
at the beginning of the yeai'. His
favorite sport is football and for
a hobby he like~ to take pictures.
He plans to stay here until draft­
ed, which may be within the
next few months.
Adele Rasch, princess from
Jane Addams high school in the
Portland · Rose Festival this sum­
mer, received for this year a
$400 scholarship from the Port­
land Rose association. She has
not yet decided her major and
is taking a general course. She
loves dancing, swimming and
horseback-riding, and is enjoy­
ing campus life here very much.
Dick Conant. a chemistry ma­
jor from Lincoln high school, is
another one of our fellows who
left for the arm:y. His favorite
sport is track. He likes to . eat
everything and to :wear brown
(he'll love those khaki suits).
On the side he is a radio tech­
nician and a jeweler. Dick al­
ready has many ftiends here, and
we all hope he will return to
L and C after he has completed
'his military service. Ill

you know to whom you are talk­
ing?"
Private (on the other end): "No,
and I don't care."

who I am?"
General: "No."
Private: "Thank goodness for
that!" • • •
Wife: "I was quite outspoken at
the club today."
Hubby: "I can't believe it. Who
outspoke you?" • • •
"Those sausages you sent me
were meat at one end and bread
at the other."

times we can't make both ends
meat." • • •
A minister , who was about to
deliver a sermon on liars, first
asked his congregation how
many ' of them had read the
twenty-ninth chapter of Matthew.
After all of them raised their
hands the minister co.ntinued,
"You are just the people I want
to talk to, there is no twenty­
ninth chapter of Matthew." .. . ..
Honesty is the best .policy, . if
you have insurance. . .. .
Then there's the one about the
·Scotchman who married ·a girl
that was half crazy, because he
heard that she was fifty percent
off. .. .. .
She was the occulist's dal,lgh­
ter, and after two glasses she
made a spectacle of herself. .. .. ..
Why were the girls so happy
and the boys so blue on initia­
tion night? Could the sailors
have had anything to do with it?
• • •
Teacher; "Bobby correct this
sentence: 'Girls is naturally bet­
ter looking than boys.' "
Bobby: "Girls are artificially
better looking than boys." z z . . ..
· Mother: "Henry, wish you'd
speak to Willie. He disgraced
us in church."
Father: ~'What did he do?" .
Mother: "He said out loud,
'Mom, if we give him the dime
now, can we_ go tight home?g . .. .
Basketball coach (to players):
"And remember that basketball
develops individuality, initiative
qnd leadership. Now get onto
th efloor and do exactly as I
tell you. Thursday. November 1. 1945
Don't put too much in
the Sadie Haw'kin's poem. It
didn't work for the gal who
wrote it.

All of Don Schick's professors
agree that the highest degree
he'll ever receive is "Doctor 'of
Consequences." • • •
Mess Sergeant: "You're not eat­
ing your fish. What's wrong
with it?"
Soldier: "Long time no sea." .. .. ..
What happened to the big talk
among the freshmen about
throwing the senior bench into
the center of the reflection pool
during hatch week? Did you get
cold feet or were you afraid of
getting wet? . . ..
Certain boys have enjoyed: the
advantages of moon-lit nights on
the campus. They look beauti­
ful under the stars don't they,
fellows? The trees we mean. . . ..
Warren Niete took out an ex­
tra insurance policy the day Dr.

Former Parisian Traubel Pleased by Log Interview
One of the most colorful and
interesting personages among the
faculty on the campus this year
is our new instructor in the field
of music, Mrs. Frances Berry
Turrell. She has nved for eight
years in France, her first year
being spent at the University of
Lyon on an international scholar­
ship. A resident of Paris for
seven years, she studied music
at the Schola Cantorum unde::
Vincent d'lndy. She has also
traveled in Spain, Italy, Ger­
many and England.
Her chief interest, she admits,
is m u s i c a I composition and
theory. Her other interests are
many and 'varied, including
Spanish literature, children's lit­
erature, drama, baseball and
cooking.
"I have two children," smiled
Mrs. Turrell, "a distinguished
daughter and an undistinguished
son." She explained that her
daughter, Mrs. Madeleine Tur­
rell Raven, is employed by the
State Department and 'has just
returned from two years in Tur­
·key, Egypt and the Holy Land.
"She was able to ccime home on
the Gripsholm," added Mrs. Tur­
rell.
Needless to say, we are' greatly
pleased to add such a distin­
guished person as Mrs. Turrell
to our faculty, and extend a
hearty welcome both to her and
to all newcomers to the rostrum
of Lewis and Clark.

Aller Strenuous Day
By Bill Wilson
At H. hour, you would expect
to hear the dull rumble of heavy
naval units off shore, with the
angry whine of lighter protec­
tion overhead. H. hour of the
freshman initiation -perhaps
some of them did hear the rum­
ble of distant 'guns as last Friday
arrived. We did not see plasma
being given at emergency first
aid shelters, so it is assumed that
all freshmen survived the ordeal.
The 'events of the day proceed­
ed smoothly. The morning warm­
up assembly set..the mood for the
day. With classes over at 4:00,
a quiz program with some sur­
prising consequences lasted 45
minutes. This was followed by
a . treasure hunt that certainly
brought out the stag hound in By Margaret Eaton
The day of the temperamental
diva is gone, it seems. Helen
Traubel, prima donna dramatic
soprano of the Metropolitan, is
proof of that. For regardless of
her limited time and the many
other people waiting to see her,
she took time after her concert
here last Saturday night to "an­
swer a few questions for a col·
lege paper." Indeed, s~e ap·
peared very pleased by the re­
quest.

_trained singers, Miss Traubel is
most enthusiastic for she is from
St. Louis and has received her
training in this country. She
said: "We have great talen't and
the world's finest teachers. "
It is her opinion that there is
a great future for opera in
America, especially with the de­
velopment ·of radio and telev~­
sion, and that Amer~ca will be
the music center of the world.
The perenrual favorite of north­
west opera lovers is "How can
we develop a company here?"
"Ah," she said very interested­
ly, "that is it-a company here
in the Northwest. But things
like that take time." It is to be
hoped that the ever increasing
interest in that endeavor will
soon make possible its realiza­
tion.
There were many other ques­
tions awaiting an answer but
concert managers signalled that
our. time was up so we had to
say goodnight. Upon leaving,
though, one had the feeling ot
having met a most charming and
gracious lady as well as a world
famous singer.
For crisp cool afternoons Kar­
olee Dietrich wore robin-egg
blue petal-pushers with a beige
"V!' neck-sweater. ·
September, and thoughts go
back to college 'with Jackie Sher­
bert modeling a cherry-coke and
blue plaid sport dress accented
by tiny blue buttons down the
·front. With this she wore a navy
topper with cherry-:coke trim­
mings.
Dorm study is brightened by
Pat Wing, our October model
in her black and white slacks
:worn "logger". style with chart­
ruese pull-over sweater and a
peter pan collar.
Shirley Haga, Miss November,
looked glamorous in a black
crepe dress with cap sleeves and
a small rolled collar. It's finished
with a slight bustle bow in
the back, a peplum in the front
and a rhinestone pin.
December brought Deen Tell­

had before it was converted in­
to a college. Our present student
lounge was a storage room and
adjoining this is the business of­
fice which formerly containe<J
the laundry facilities for this
mansion. As realistic evidence
you may have observed the
clothes-chute.
The present laundry room was
another storage room. Has your
curiosity been aroused by the
locked door next to the laundry
room? This circular room was
the wine cellar with its hexagon­
shaped bottle racks completely
covering the wall space. The
contents of the room must have
had a very high value as there
are two successive doors.
Dr. Odell's office was the li­
brary and our social hall the li v­
ing room of the Franks' house.
W-11 was the servants' dining
room although the size has de­
creased due to the recent addi­
tion of a partition . Mrs.-M. Holman Barret, house
manager on Miss Hartfeld's
staff, has had experience in this
line to qualify for the position.
For the past several years she
has been in charge of the women's
dormitories at Swan Island. She
has two· children, one a son in
the marine corps.
Mrs. Barret is a native Port­
lander. Her grandparents pio­
neered the Oregon country in
earlier years. She also taught
school here in the field of voca­
tional guidance.
Groups Pick Grapes
Erodelphians, senior women's
honorary, and Sacajaweans,

• club, picked· grapes on the cam­
pus on Saturday, October . 13.
The grapes were then canned
by representatives of the Moth­
er's club, and the 23'h ~allons
they canned will be used for re­
freshments for student parties,
receptions and other social func­
tions.
Opportunities Await
On the second • floor the wo­
men's lounge was the master
bedroom and Miss Hartzfeld's
room was the guest room. Rooms
2 and 3 were boys' rooms and
room 4 a girl's room. Room 5
was the children's playroom. The
smaller rooms in the west wing
were servants' quarters. Dun & Bradstreet, the Mercan­
tile agency, which maintains a
credit vigil on the 2,300,000 com­
mercial enterprises in the United
States and Canada, is looking for
candidates for commercial credit
reporting. During the past 20 years
the agency has replinished its
ranks of reportw:s among callege
graduates, especially men major­
ing in economics and business ad­
ministrati on. Reporters who qual­
ify can aspire to executive posi­
tions within the agency and equip

Number3
Sports Plans lor Season
Tol~ by Coach Mathews
"The first aim of the Lewis and Clark physical educational
program is to secure the participation of every student,"
Coach "Matty" Mathews told two interviewing Log reporters
this week. "Varsity sports are fine, and we will work for
a good varsity. But after all-aside from a rallying point for
school spirit-varsity does the non-participant no good."-
Coach Mathews emphasized his
desire to get every male student
into the physical educational pro­
gram. "This war," he said, "has
shown the importance of physical
fitness." He feels that physical Log 'Appointments

will make itself felt in the local
sports world in the next few
years.
At the present time not even .
sports writers are making any
predictions. Lewis and Clark in
pre-war years played in the North
West Conference. There is much
talk that the North West Confer­
ence will be resumed this winter;
but whether or not we will play
in this league remains to be seen.
The league that the team will play
in will be, decided by the material
the coach finds among the school's
new male student body.
Our aport& prediction: Lewia
and Clark ahou.lcl go a long way
in the aport& world: the c:oac:h is
new( the material is new, and the
rest remains to be aeen. Ski Club Organized_ by

By .John EJwoo'a
ThanksgivinJI morning was just
another drizzly dawning of an­
other dreary day in Chateaudun,
France. There was no e x t r a
bustle, no excitement. True, we
were going to have turkey,! but a
turkey was only a bird. The rain
1 pounding on our little cluster of
squat, stubborn looking, pyra­
midal tents 'added to the general
dullness of the day. The ducks
walked in weather like that, so
we doubted that we would have
to fly.
We wouldn'f fly. We wouldn't
talk We would just sit on our
bunks and feel sorry for our­
selyes. Each man would dream
of the Thanksgiving that ~sed
to be. Every dream would be
the same basically, for every man
was going through another of
those unhappy, lonely holidays.
'Not one of us could see• anything
in our surroundings for which to
be· thankful. We were homesick.
It was after our min4s had be­
come blackened with resentment " toward our plight that we heard
the new's that flights had .been
scheduled. The complaints were
profuse, passionate and profane.
This wasn't Jl day for flying!
They apparently wanted to kill
us as a Thanksgiving offering.
There was no ceiling• visibility .
Had the brass-hats gone com­
pletely berserk?
We first felt our shame at the
briefing. A slight, grey-haired in­
fantry officer spoke first. He
told us the 'why' that made us
anxious to hear the 'where' and
the 'w]ten'. His complete story
was, "Boys, I'm sorry to do this,
but I've got a whole mess of
hungry men up front and, dam­
mit, they're too busy dyin' to go
hungry too."
The briefing ended and ft
scrambled into the trucks that
would take us to the planes. No­
body IJiade any complaints about
the flight. We, who couldn't ap.
preciate turkey, were taking a
feast of K-ratiens to men too
busy dying in the mud to worry
• about the differences in food or
days.
We lost one plane and five
friends. I suppose we should have
been sadder than before. We
weren't. There were lumps ln
many thr~ats but yet we were al­
most happy. A radio-operator,
whose arm had been torn almost
away by flak, expressed it about
as well as is possible. "You
know," he grunted, "I'm not a
bit sorry for myself. Those Joes
up there can't even die decently.
We can get hurt but it's clean .. I
can still be thankful, but I know
those poor guys can't. I'm glad
we helped 'em a little."
Still, I can't help but think
that these were thankful men up
there in the mud, too. The less
one has the more evident pos­
session of it becomes. I'm sure
that many of those men thanked
God for that one thing that was
left to t,hem, their lives. Certain­
ly they could see the less for­
tunate at their very· elbows.

Plea From the Annual
' It's never too early to think
about the coming annuaL To
make this spring's edition big­
ger and better, the help of all
students is needed. Anyone
with flash equipment and cam­
eras is wholeheartedly invited
to bring them out in the open
and to set to work snapping
this and that, anything of gen­
eral interest. In order to, have
all the activities represented
next spring, someone needs to
be there to "get" them. Pic­
tures will be accepted by the
Randolph twins at any time.
