Trodsii Spend First Week-end
At Mts. With Two Casualties
By Martha Fergu10n
Track! Timber!! Fore!! Run for
your lives men-there comes a
Trodse down the trail!
These choice phrases were over­
heard by your skiporter Thanks­
giving week-end at Mt. Hood.
Trodse, as the Lewis and Clark
ski club has been named, was of­
ficially and unavoidably recogniz­
ed by all Hood skiers when it be­
gan its season Friday. Ten en­
thusiastic members braved t h e
arctic temperatures and the hos­
tile glares of the professionals to
try their hand (or rather feet­
or even more often--!) at the
vigorous sp6rt.
An interesting vocabulary of
ski terms can be accumulated on
the mountain. The meanings may
be a little vague but they sound
professional-herringbone, stem­
turn, ouch, christy, hey-you,
track, slalom, outtatthawayyou (a
technical Scandinavian term), and
a native phiase shouted w it h
marked emphasis--"fill-up-that­
hole!" (Just ask Schreiber.)
Three brave souls atteml'fed the
ski-lift at Multorpor hill. One .of
them reached the top but the al­
titude was too much for him.
After several minutes he appear­
ed down the run with his skis over
his shoulder and a happy grin
all over his face. Harry Geil sug­
gested politely, "You're supposed
to wear the things, Bob," to which
he smiled, "Oh, I did-going qp!"
Martha Ferguson and Morris
Pederson attempted w h at is
FACULTY FAME known as a combination stem­
dip-fill-turn coming back down.
You stem at an angle across the
slope, and then in order to turn
you stop by performing a dip.
After you pick yourself up you
fill up the hole you made and
turn back the other way.
Virginia Carter and Don Broet­
je were the casualties. Marily and
Marguerite Luster, Conn Murray,
Mrs. HOrner and m o s t of the
others mentioned came out com­
paratively unharmed and eager­
ly anticipating the next trip.
Red Cross Group
Presents Skit
To show the enthusiasm with
which Red Cross "buddy boxes"
· are received overseas, a short skit
b.Y ex-servicemen John Elwood
and John Logan, was presented
in a recent student body assembly.
Norma Wallace, chairman of
the Lewis and Cliirk Red Cross
chapter, announced last week that
the Red Cross group would make
"bud~y boxes" for servicemen
this Christmas to be distributed
at separation centers, hospitals
and canteens . She urged student
cooperation in bringing contribu­
tios such as, toilet articles, read­
ing material and food items to a
box in the Albany Quadrangle
previous to December 10, dead­
line for the drive.
The program continued with a
reproduction of the talent show,
which was presented ._at Barnes

By Evelyn Sparlin
Have you ever taken time to
really look at the innumerable
architectural details in the wom­
en's building?
The windows are made of lac
glass which was imported from
England. On a sunny day you
may be deceived by thinking it
is cloudy by gazing through an
amber colored pane.
The floors are tongue grooved
peg .planked oak with • concealed
nails.
'Jack planed wall finish is the
name of the walnut surface of
the walls.
The suspended staircase w a s
constructed by Austrian crafts­
men in the East according to the
architect's plans, and then ship­
ped in sections to Portland. It
is the only staircase of its type
west of the Mississippi.
The decorated plaster on the
ceiling above the staircase is also
the work of the Austrians. This
plaster was shipped in sections to
Portland and then attached to
the ceiling.
Those fascinating carvings of
faces and animlas in the entrance
to the social hall were ·also the
figments of other Eastern Aus­
trians' imaginations. Thundery. November 29, 1945
Pioneer Poll
Students Polled by Log
On Opinion ~bo 'ut Slacks
The first in a series of campus
polls on controversial issues was ,
conducted recently on the subject
of women students wearing slacks
on the campus during the winter
season. While a majority of those
interviewed OK'd feminine slack­
wearing, most of them attached
"if" and "but" clauses to their
approvals .
Some of those questioned and
their comments are:
Karolee Dietrich : They're al­
right if they're neat.
Ginger . Werschkull: They're
good protection against the ele-
Holm Reported Dead
Victor E. Holm, technician fifth
grade, is presumed to be. dead, ac­
cording to word received from
the. War department by his wife.
He was previously r e p or t e d
wounded on October 25, 1944,
and was later reported missing
in the Leyte campaign .
Vic was a sophomore when he
left college in February, 1943, to
enter the service. He went over­
seas in July, 1943, and was at­
tached to the engineers with the
6th army headquarters, serving
in New Guinea and the Philip­
pines.
. A member of Sigma Alpha Sig­
ma, he was employed by the Ore­
gon Shipbuilding corporation
while attending college. His wife,
Mary Ellen, also a former stu­
dent, lives with her par'ents at
6325 N. E: 35th avenue. ments.
Camero'\ Thompson: I don't
mind slacks as long as they don't
have a fur coat over them.
Barbara Delepine: Slacks are
OK, but I don't like to see those
darned Levis.
Bob Shreiber: They don't both­
er me.
Valerie Isler: I don't like them.
Harold Sanders: Sure, why not?
Better for warmth.
Marguerite Ordway: If the girl
is as well-groomed in them as she
would be in a sweater and skirt,
it's OK to wear slacks.
Dick Michaelis : It doesn't even
seem like going to school-more
like a picnic.
Nancy Weyer: It's a swell idea!
Ray Barrier: Reminds me of
home.
Karen Lafky: It's OK to wear
slacks if they're actually needed
to keep warm, but too many kids
'would abuse the privilege .
John Elwood: I think they look
cute and it's too cold for dresses
anyway. But I don't like women
to wear slacks that they can't
retreat gracefully in.
Ray Kestic: School isn't the
place to wear such paraphernalia.
Laurel Friesen: Sorry, fellas.
I'm cold.
Ben Padrow: .ONLY if it's rain­
ing real hard or snowing ,
Dick Long: Ditto.

A very challenging and in­

the Thanksgiving chapel program
by the guest· speaker, the Rev.
William Lindsay, pastor of the
Lake Grove Presbytetrian church,
alumnus of Albany college, and
instructor of religion here.
He stressed the need for Chr~st­

and as an illustration read the
poem, "A Soldier's Prayer," which
expresses a soldier's last 'thoughts

NAMES AND FACES Military Training a Fraud?
Almost everyone at some time in his life has seen an
old dress remodeled and bedecked in fancy frills as to change
the appear a n c e of the dress -but basically the ma­
terial of the dress· is the same. Such is the current case
of military conscription . This controversial subject has been
dressed up by changing the name to "military training" and
disguising it with fancy discipline. However, when this
question is analyzed the main objective is still to be found­
to train for war. By DOROTHY KIRKWOOD Salute to a Pioneer
· Approximately sixteen per cent
of our enrollment this semester
is comprised of students who
have transferred from other uni­
versities and colleges.
The idea of improved health can be punctured with
holes at the first glance. The fellows who are inducted will
be the ones who are already physically fit, while those who
need the improvements will be left at home. The army
may further one's education but how much more could be
accomplished if the money spent· on the proposed idea
would be used to provide scholarships for the needy and
to give help wherever education is neef.ied. The present
figures show that for ·the first five years $1,450 will be
spent for each trainee and thereafter $2,000 per trainee.
How much more wisely this money could be spent in giving
a free college education to every person in the United States. Gloria Anderson. a junic;>r rna~
joring in music, came to us from
Bethel junior college in St. Paul,
Minnesota. There she was vice
president of the senior class last
year and valedictorian at gradua­
tion in .Tune. She was very active
in school affairs, and wrote for
the school paper and year book.
Her favorite activities are swim­
ming in summer ~d ice skating
in wint~ . She plans to finish
her conege work here.
David Hargis. ltlso a junior and
a music major, attended the Uni­
versity of Texas prior to his el).­
listment in the army 4¥.!, years
ago. After high school graduation,
Dave held positions as assistant
director of a high school band
and instrumental instructor in
two junior high schools in Orange,
Texas. Specializing on the trom­
bone and tuba, he played with
the university concert band, the
university symphony, and later,
while in the Glider Infantry, with
an army band. Dave is studying
toward a Bachelor of Music de­
gree and is interested in conduct­
ing. The army suggests discipline as an advantage of the
program. The army gives only martial discipline. This is
not real discpline for it is not lasting. One needs only to
notice the ways in which liberties and furloughs are spent.
When fellows are no longer under strict control, they let
themselves go. Real discipline is self-discipline :
Also the training the inductee learns will be out-moded
in a few years. The atomic age presents the real possibility;
as Life magazine suggests, the next war will be over in
thirty-six hours. If this is so, what value will 900,000 trained
men be? Before they could be organized the war would be
over.
One ·. of the biggest advantages America possessed in
World War II was the ingenuity of our rnen. They could
think for themselves in circumstances the army had not
forseen. The long time training and regimentation of men
tend to eliminate this advantage.
Furthermore, history has p~oven that when a country
becomes militaristic, the mode of government will coincide.
We will lose much of our .freedom and slowly drift intD
the possibility of having much more of our life directed
by the government.
Therefore, let us not jump hastily and despairingly in­
to saying, "We must have conscription for there is no
other. way to prevent future wars". Instead, let us wisely
and sanely adopt policies that will prevent future w~rs and
will at the same time benefit mankind.

It was indeed difficult to obtain
a few concise statements on the
controversial question, but after.
great effort, here are the results:
Betty Russell: "I think they
should, but if they have a desire
to attend college, the training
should be combined with their
college education."
Carolyn Lazenby "No! I think
it would make America a military
nation.'l,
Helga Kehm: "It could be a
good thing if worked out differ­
ently, as long as occupational
forces are needed.'' ·
Bob Shreiber: "It is all right
for those who aren't affected by
it."
Norma Wallace: "No! Because
history has proven that when­
ever a country adopts such a
program ·it is the beginning of
the end. Whatever a country
places its emphasis on, it shall
receive in the end!" Jeannie McNeu. a sophomore
from Warrenton, Oregon, is an
honor student from Bob Jones
college in Cleveland, Tennessee.
She is taking a general course
and has not yet decided her maj­
or. She is worship chairman of
the Christian Fellowship and be­
longs to the International Rela­
tions Club and Tri-Sci. Jeannie
likes to travel but would just
as soon "stay home and eat straw­
berries and grow bulbs.'' She is
planning to be a church secre­
tary.
Mildred Miller. a sophomore art
major is a transfer student from
the Chicago Art Institute. Her
hobby is painting. She is social
chairman of the Christian -Fel­

of excitement when on June 28,
1944, she sponsored the launch­

Iron Works. Her favorite sports
are swimming, ice skating and

Those of us who have gone to
the basketball game and shouted
ourselves hoarse for our hard­
pitching and up-to-Friday vic­
torious players feel rather per­
plexed at the non-challant atti­
tude some students take in re­
gard to intercollegiate sports .
Don't they realize school spirit
stems from this sort of thing?. MR. EVANS
New Instructor Has
lnleresling Background .
We introduce with pleasure an­
other new member of the faculty,
Mr. Eugene Kozloff. Most stu­
dents are already acquainted ·with
the white-coated instructor w"ho
always seems to be haunting the
biological l;;1boratory, but for
those of you who don't, here's
the inside dope.
Mr. Kozloff graduBited from
tile Uni;versity of California" in
1942. He did additional work as
a post-graduate student and
taught there last year. Although
well grounded in all fields of
biology, Mr. Kozloff's special in­
terests are protozoology and para­
sitology. He has been doing re­
search in these fields and has
published several papers-"And
more forthcoming," promised Mr.
Kozloff. He added that he was
finding new material for research ·
in the vicinity of Portland and
was hoping to desc.ribe it sooner
or later.
Away from the scientific side,
Mr. Kozloff is greatly interested
in Russian music and has done
work in musicology as a sideline.
(For those of us who aren't. quite
so smart, that means history and
study of music.)
As to Mrs. Ko?loff, she quali­
fies as "just a housewife" and
also serves as vice-president of
the faculty women's club.
Because backgrounds are inter­
esting, Mr. Kozloff was born in
Teheran in Persia where his fa­
ther was stationed as an attache
for the Russian government, and
bridged the gap between-the two
regimes• by working quietly in
his consula.r office. He is now
-living in Southern California.
The biology department has no
special plans but hopes to' develop·
and elaborate as more students
enteJ; the field in the future.
College ·Girls In
Symphonic Choir
Phyllis Johnson, sopr<~no,- and
Billy Ryburn, alto, are members
of the Portland Symphonic choir
which will present Handel's
"Messiah" at the civic auditorium
Sunday afternoon, December 30.
Phyllis is als~ a member ' of a
special quartet within, the choir.
To the Editor: The spotlight of honor is turn­
ed this ;.,.eek to John S t a r k
Evans, head of the music depart­
ment. Mr. Evans is beginning
his second year as a member of
the Lewis and Clark faculty,
having come here last fall after
being with the music department
of the University of Oregon for
over twenty years.
Due largely to Mr. Evans' un­
ceasing efforts, the music depart-• ment has been the recipient of
seven pianos, either as purchases
of the Womens league or as out­
rig~t gifts by friends of the col­
lege, a pipe organ, radio-phono­
graph, a set of 150 records for
music history classes, $50 from
the Ellison White Conservatory
to be used in the purchase of
new releases for the record li­
brary, a library of organ mu­
sic as well as nunieroils finan­
cial contributions.
The fact that Mr. Evans' re­
nown has attracted many stu­
dents is well exemplified by the
vast. i~crease in students taking
music courses. Last year's en­
rollment of 53· students has in­
creased to 115 individuals; forty
per cent of the student body is
enrolled in music classes. This
shows also the fact that the qual­
ity of work produced by· the mu-
. sic department is of such cali­
bre as to encourage the further
participation of others. '
It is a well known fact that
Mr. Evans is vitally concerned
about the future of music at
Lewis and Clark, since he has a
special kind of glow when he
talks about the plans for the new
music building. As a public
spirited citizen ·he· belongs to
several organizations. One that
demands much attention is the
committee of the Rose Festival
He is also well known as the
choirmaster and organist of First
Presbyterian church. No amount
ol publicity from others· about
the music department could pos­
sibly have the wonderful effect
that Mr. Evans' whole-hearted
enthusiasm and winning ways
have had. For all he has done
in this brief year, we salute him
as a true Pioneer.

Hall Patter
By Virginia Muhle
Have you ever wondered what
it is that makes a dormitory
(life in) worth living? Well, so
have I. Signing out, signing in,
studying, not studying, (ah,
there's the rub) getting enough
sleep and still making it to break­
fast in the morning . The only
bright light m the lite of a de­
fenseless dorm student is to get
campused and then she runs no
risks of getting caught up in the
whirl of illicit activities -for
awhile anyway.
As I remember it; there were
a few very prominent and inter­
esting activities in the dorm
these last few weeks. First there
was a very interesting talk on
the night that the lights went
out, about Red Cross wprk in
Iceland, Greenland, and the South
Pacific. (Incidentally on this
very night, most students in tile
dorm; being a wise lot, turned
off their lights and went to bed
early.· The only rub was that at
least two of the room-mates had
the same idea without consulta­
tion, so in the middle of·the night
-on went the lights. I know­
I was there!)
Then there was the guest night
in which some impromptu ear
twisting and neck breaking was
introduced by two of the dorm's
famous wrestlers. The decision
went to extremes, and a wonder­
ful time was had by all.
The faculty dessert dinner and
reception, including op~n house
at both dorms was considered
a great success. In the triple
trio, Mr. Evans, pianist and Dr.
Odell, (tenor, baritone, bass or
what have you,) ·completely stole
the show. Mr. Evans was accused
of up-staging a bit, but his ruf­
fled pride was smoothed by the
compliment of one of his friends,
, that he had real talent and should
certainly take lessons.
The third event was the birth­
day dinner at which three off
campus students, David Hender­
son, Betty Ross and Joyce Og-
den, performed. "
Everyone . is looking forward
to that last test before Christ­
mas, which I'm sure you will
all have (a'"T"it is a shame to
make you come to class with
double-cuts hanging over your
heads if you don't have some­
thing interesting to do", unquote

. Origin of Our
Christmas Tree
By Bob Faber
The Christmas tree is one of
the most universal and beloved
yuletide symbols. How did it
start?
An old German legend has it
that on a cold winter Christmas
eve a forester and his family
heard a knock at the door. Upon
opening it, they saw a little cold
ragged boy. They gave him food
and lodging for the night. The
next morning they were awak­
ened by the singing of angels and
they soon discovered they had
be-friended the Christ child. Be­
fore he departed he took a twig
from a fir tree, placed it in the
ground and said, "I have gladly
received your gifts, and' here is
mine to you. This tree will never
fail to bear its fruits at Christmas
and you shall ·always have abun­
dance." The tree that sprang
from the . grourld is known to­
day as the holly.
Othersesay the origin of the
modern domestic tree started with
Martin Luther who, on a starry
Christmas eve, was so entranced
by the a:stronomical display he
went home with a fir tree. He
then placed candles on it to rep­
resent the spectrum he had seen.
There are many different be­
liefs as to when the Christmas
tree was brought to the United
States. Some say it was brought
over by the German mercenary
troops during the revolutionary
war, while others say it was
brought over in 1847 to Wooster,
Ohio, by a little boy named Aug ~
ust Imgvod.
Whether the Christmas tree
was brought here by the German
army or by young August, it's
still a symbol that few Ameri­
can homes are without. . -. • Past and Present

One of the chief functions of
the fraternities and sororities has
been the encouragement of loyal­
ty to the college.
The first attempt at organizing
a Greek letter organization for
men was made in 1922. A small
group ol men organized under the
name Phi Gamma Omega, but
disbailded after a year of activity.
Omega Zeta, organized in 1923,
and Kappa Kappa Phi, organized
in 1925, were both prominent so­
cial organizations on the Albany
campus but ceased activities
when the college moved to Port­
land in 1938.
Organized in 1935, Alpha Rho

it endeavors to stimulate higher

Shoppers Lack Christmas Spirit
By Pat Long
I often wondered as a child
why school let out a couple of
weeks around Christmas. I no
longer wonder-1 know. We stu­
dents get so completely worn-out
with pre-tree preparations that
it takes at least two weeks for
our minds and bodies to return
to normal. I still have the scar
from a wound incurred last sea­
son by a woman with her um­
brella when I reach for the tie
she wanted.
In the first place, by the first
of December most of us "poor,
struggling, college students" are
so completely devoid of anything
resembling money that we have
to extend all our reserve mental
energies toward thinking up
scheme to o b t a in more. (I
wouldn't advise minting your
own-Mr. Hutchins says it won't
work.)
Let me offer a suggestion. Don't
use up all your energy in get­
ting money: You'll need plenty
more when you try to spend it.
Sounds goofy, doesn't it? But
honestly, I'd rather play a solid
game of football with my broth­
ers than battle with the Christ­
mas-shopping crowds. For hap­
piest results iri your shopping,
bP. prepared: before the season
opens, strengthen your biceps
with extensive exercise; carry a
hat pin with you-it may come
in handy; eat one onion and at
least three sections of garlic be­
fore venturing forth - I will
guarantee results.
I'm not a pessimist, really. I
love Christmas and all the cus­
toms and traditions connected
with it, especially the singing of
carols. What could be more lovely
than to have a group of fresh,

First a few tips . on ChriStmas
shopping as plsyed in the Port­
land Area Conference. We take
it for granted that no self-respect­
ing sportsman would begin his
Christmas shopping til tomorrow
or Saturday. Dress with an eye
to protection, shin-guards being
an absolute necessity and shoul­
der-pads ve;y helpful. Blockin_g
and tackling are considered fair
this year-and if you take a few
friends shopping with you, a
modified T-formation can be
worked out. There are many
methods of attracting the atten­
tion of a nonchalant clerk, ~ut
we have had greatest success With
this one: Choose a reasonably
small and valuable piece of mer­
chandise such as a card table or
a pair ~f skis, glance furtively
about, and make stealthy efforts
to conceal the item under your
coat. . This method is guaranteed
to bring at least two clerks and
three store detectives.
Mr. Evans has brought the
Christmas spirit to the music de­
partment-he is credited with
this one for this season, it's "The
Atchison Topeka and the Fe."
Why? B~cause I don't believe in
Santa. •

High light of the month's so­

one recent Friday noon. Yvonne

arranged a delightful weiner
roast in honor of Pat Johnson and
Peggy Eaton. Weather was per­
fect--only a small amount of
rain fell to put the fire out oc­
casionally. Sophisticated, witty
conversation characterized the
party. For instance, there was
the guest who murmured i~ a
gentle voice that coultl be heard
over at the Quad, "Whadjo do
with the mustard, Kee-ad?"
But the food was the unique
feature-ah who of us will ever

a delicate black and covered with

Envious passers-by tossed· dis­

Friday Assemblies
Or Why My
Face Is Red
We always heave a sigh of re­
lief that few, if any, fa c u 1 t Y
members attend the Friday chap·­
el skits·. The last ribald session
was presented by the vets under
the sponsorship of A. W. S. A
round table discussion, led by Del
Catt with Ben Padrow, Jack Del­
apoer Tom Best, Gene Wirtz -
and jerry Baker, got nowhere,
except to questionable ad Jibbing,
on the ageless question, "W h a t
should the well-dressed femme
wear?", but led nicely into a skit
representing a night in the wom­
en's dorm. The "wome~·.-. Bill
Wilson, Jack Marston, L a r r Y
Schiller and . Jim Dickey were
lounging <~round in the usual
chatty, hair-up manner w h ~ n
Jolm Elwood coyly enters, slips
behind a screen and wriggles out
of a size 24 girdle. Mter the bed­
lam ceases, the conversation
drifts from complimentary com­
ments about Wilson's pretty legs
to catty remarks on Schiller's
spread. Mter a typical hen ses­
sion the girls decide to call it a
night and ya:w;n theinselves off to
bed, leaving a somewhat embar­
rassed but side-split audience.
Another recent Friday skit was
one presented by the dance band
picturing ,a typical jam session
with bottles·of milk on the fur­
niture and a couple of blackfaces
pushing their brooms around · to
the time of, "Down the Road
Apiece."
With these sessions as uncen­
sored though clever, as they are,
the s~rprising thing is that some
people miss them; · ·
made any difference in his eld­
est son, a de.ep-south farmer re­
flected: "Well, he's still a good
hand with the plow, but I notice
his language has changed some.
It used to be, 'Woa, Becky! Haw!
and Git up!' Now,.'when he comes
to the end of .a row, lle says, 'Halt,
Rebecca! Pivot and proceed!'"

A major league concessionaire
vows this story is true: "I saw
a woman walking excitedly up
and down the runways, appar­
ently looking for something. I
inquired if I could be of service,
. and blinked wheh she a s k e d: ,
"Where's the 7th inning? I just .

'-Joe McCarthy had a dream
that he had gone to heaven. Up
there behind the Pearly Gates he

He was trying to puzzle that
out when the phone rang, It was

can ·beat yours," Satan told him.
"Impossible," answered Mc­

so president of his clas·s and edi­
tor of the annual during his sen­
ior year. Al tells us that FRED
NEAL, JR., '36, formerly dean
of students at the divinity school
of the University of Chicago, is
now a chaplain in the Mal'ines. James McDonald, British con­
sul, spoke on "Britain Today and
Tomorrow" at an assembly meet­
ing of the International Rela­
tions club. In beginning he em­
phasized his Scotch ;tationality,
conceding however that "the
English are only slightly inferior
to the Scotch."
McDonald pointed out ' that
though the war is over, there will
be continued privation for the
people of Britain. A shortage of
food, clothing, and shelter, and
hard work are the outlook for
at least five years, because Bri­
tain will have to concentrate on
manufacturing for export, her
principe,l means of livelih_o~. ~e
stated further that Bntam ·Is
making a great effort to regain
her high position in foreign
trade, but with the, opening of
new markets there will be a place
in world trade for ~11 enterpris­
ing nations.
'}:he candid questions asked in
the ensuing discussion gave the
audience opportunhy to witness
diplomatic sang.froid and skill
in action. Unintimidated, out-·
spoken students brought up points
of heated ·international contro­
versy, while McDonald co~sist­
ently replied in non-comittal,
conciliatory manner.
In answer to Don Shick's ques­
tion of whether Britain held her
colonies as a meal ticket ·or to
help the· colonies, the consul re­
plied that as far as dollar-and­
cents value is concerned, Britain
loses money on her colonies. He
admitted that the empire is the
greatest barrier of smooth re­
lations between Britain and
America, but maintained that the
cnmmonwealth with all its faults
is the best working agreem~nt
he has seen and was an enormous
asset in the war.
The consul's serene affability
was slightly ruttled when Robert

good time for the colonies to
seek independence, now that
England is weak?" McDonald re­
torted that England may be tired
but she is not weak, and that the
time of Dunkirk would have been
best for seeking independence,
but not one colony did; inst_ead
they sent help to the war effort.
When Marily Luster introduced
the question of British attitude
toward the Indonesian situation,
McDonald neatly, though uneasi­
ly, circumventl'd the issue. He
said the British were in Java to
accept the Japanese surrender
when the "unfortunate political
situation" developed .
Though no startling information
was presented and no interna­
tional problems settled, it was
highly entertaining to. observe
the progress of verbal conflict
.. between a discreet diplomat of­
ficially representing Britain· and
an outspoken, intelligent student
body. As polemics ended it seem­
ed to me that the score was tied.

Lose One Game
To Reed T·eam
By Virginia Muhle
In their last game of the cur­
rent three-game series with
Reed, the heretofore unvanquish­
ed Pioneers, coached by "Matty"
Mathews, were snowed under by
a 28-17 score at Collins View
gym last Friday.
The first hal! was character­
ized by slow scoring, but Reed,
led by Dan Johnson, managed
to sink three baskets and a free
throw to lead at half time, 7-4.
The two L. C. counters were
scored by Shick.
Coming back in the second
half both teams did some rapid­
fire shooting and tossed in three
field goals apiece to bring the
score to 13-10. It was in this
period that L. C. made their bid
to get back in the game when ~
two, more. baskets put the Pion­
eers in front 14-13. This rally.
was short lived though, and the
score board at the end of the
third quarter read 17-14 in favor
of Reed. The final canto was
filled with wild play and bad
guessing and despite the heroic
efforts of Hal Howard who domi­
nated the backboards throughout
the game, the boys from the Cov­
ered Wagon school e<>uldn't get
the baskets. The score at the end
of the game stood 28-17, in favor
of Reed. High point man for the
Pioneers was Don Shick with 13
points, ,whqe Johnsoq bucketed
nine points for Reed. ' PIONEER LOG Thursday, December 20. 194$
Pioneers Make G~od Showing
In Games 'with Reed Quintet
By Mel Amy ancl Percy Smith
By Mel Amy anc;J Percy Smll:h
By Mel Amy and Percy Smith
Clearly showing that t h e i r
strength lies in fighting spirit
and excellent physical condition ,
the Orange and Black quintet
from Lewis and Clark have been
making a good showing ·against
a large and apparently individ­
ually more experienced Reed col­
lege five in three games recently.
These initial games point the
shape of things to come in bas­
ketball on Palatine hill. The
boys' superior physical endur­
ance and will to do battle reflect
the gru~ling physical exercises
that Coach "Matty" Mathews has
heen putting them through this
fall.
The Pioneers' starting lineup
has been Don Shick, Jack Becker,
Hal Howard, Don Broetje and
Bill Wilson.
As a team, and even as indi­
vidual players, the boys are ex­
perienced. Shick, Howard, and
Broetje are veterans of last year's
slim campaign when a broken
leg was no bar to collegiate play.
Yuletide Theme
Of Assemblies . ,.
A Christmas assembly was pre­
sented for the student body re­
cently by the Christian Fellow­
ship. Arleen Dee.don presided and
introduced several girls repre­
senting various countries .
Carolyn Nash, in a colorful Shick played his first basketball
last year, worked hard to make
himself an excellent shot, and
is a clean hearty fighter. • · ' Howard controls the baJl under
the basket as if he were a lad
of §everal more inches. He is
really the only man on the team
• of basketball . size, and C o a c h
Mathews is going to find it dif·
ficult to get along without him
when he returns to the army
soon.
Harry Geil and Bob Walker
played for short periods in ·the
game Friday. Neither have play­
ed with the team much and did
not have an opportunity to show
what they can do. Geil, how­
ever, is probably the fastest man
and one of the best ball handlers
outfor basketball. ·Walker with
his low dribble and smooth ball
handling gives lie to his recent
army rejection for overweight.
The army just doesn't want men!
· Other players who were used
in the practice game with Reed
College are John Little, Conn
Murray, Morris Pederson, Dick
Lpng, and Beh Padrow.
The twin victories over Reed
were gratifying to a student body
that is firmly behind its boys,
but the games reveal that Coach
Mathews' sports program is real­
ly one of the long run that aims
to put spirited, ·well-conditioned ,
experienced men onto the play­
ing fields and floors next year
and the years following that.

L&C Enters League;
Game Slated Tomorrow
Lewis and Clark college has
entered the Columbia League of
Portland, according to Coach
. "Matty" Mathews, and is sched­
uled to play two basketball
games a week.
Tomorro w night, the Pioneers
will launch against Pacific col­
lege from Newberg. The game
will be played in the Collins
View gymnasium and will start
at 8:00. Our fighting five ex­
press eager hope that there will
be a good turnout for this game,
our first night game of the
season.
Several future games have
been scheduled including one
with Pacific college, here, Jan­
uary 25, and one February 5, to
be played at Pacific college. The
team's schedule includes prac­
tices on Mondays and Wednes­
days and games. on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Fridays. Dl.splay ol Talent recently discharged from the ser-vice. will teach economics and
labor problems. He is now ,affili­
ated with the University of Ore­ "No professor is not without
honor save in not his own coun­
try."
This means that provincial and
benighted students -frequently
fail fully to appreciate the gen­
ius and far-flung fame of the
faculty members who-daily move
' among them.
Therefore, it has seemed appro-.
priate, according to the findings
of the Reed conference ( see
Pioneer Log, Vol. IV, No. 6, Jan.
10, '46, page 1), and the United
N~ttions Organ.ization (Cf. Ore­
gonian, New York Times and
Yank), and the Emancipation
Proclamation (See Histories of
United States, e. g. Barns and

Attend Meeting .
Six Lewis and Clark students
will attend the conference of
Orego'n Federation of Collegiate
Leaders which will be held on
the University of Oregon cam­
pus tomorrow and Saturday.
Delegates from our campus will
be Warren Niete, student body
president; Shirley. Haga, social
commissioner; Marilyn Johnson ,
publlca:tions commissioner, !md
Jon Hosford, president of Associ­
ated Men Students. Others who
will attend the meeting are
Nancy Weyer, vice-president, and
Marily Luster, secretary. ' turning point in history and a
stumbling block to eager students
thereof, shall be Friday, the
eighth day of February in the
year of our Lord, nineteen hun­
il.red and twenty-five•, probably
at 7:30 post meridian in order
to permit n~cessary observation
of retiring habits of those who
have such habits.
The popular misconception to
become at that time unfounded
is that professors are simply un­
adulterated Brains. A peculiar
and fascinating feature of L. &
C. faculty is that they have been
cautiously selected and carefully
screened for a certain essential
degree of adulteration. The ques­
tion of simplicity, however , has
never been investigated, al­
though at present the group as
a whole is profoundly alarmed at
the possibility that the health
questionnaire may at -any mo­
ment be administerea to it.
Probably the most noteworthy
feature of this event will be that
Dr. Groening will NOT speak on
the atomic bomb. Unfortunately
it if-not possible at this time to
state with certainty whether or ·
not Dr. Odell will make a money­
raising appeal.
. Student attendance is of course
not compulsory, but will be un­
obtrusively albeit conscientious­
ly recorded. Any student who
knows anything about apple­
polishing will of course be there,
prepared to laugh heartily at
all times.

Mr. Alexander Oumansky will
teach· a class in ballet each Wed­
nesday afternoon from 3:00 to

and physical education credit will
be given. Mr. Oumansky was
born in Russi!l'fo was at one time
associated with Nijinsky and has
been with ballet companies in
Europe and America. He is now
teaching at various schools in
Portland including St. Helen's

Faculty :Participate in
Conference at Reed
Several faculty members par­
ticipated 'in the second annual
P~tcific Northwest conference on
the Arts and Sciences held at
Reed college during the hoij·
days .
Dr. Morgan S. Odell was a
member of a panel discussion on
"Practica ble Ways. of Improving
Teaching."
Dr. Charles W. Howard, Dr.
L. 0. McAfee, Mr. Benjamin A.
Thaxter lind Mr. J. Randolph
Hutchins each attended various
sessions.
Many of the recommendations
of the conference concerned
practices already · in effect at
Lewis and Clark, according to Registration for the spring se­
mester will begin Monday, Jan­
·uary 21, and will continue
throughout the last two weeks of
this semester. Students will re­
port to the same advisor they
had for fall enrollment .Each
advisor will have the list of stu­
dents whom he is to advise and
in most cases will probably post
the time when each student is
to come for counsel and approval
of schedule. Final directions will
be posted on all bulletin boards.
Class schedules for the semester
are now available in the regis­
trar's office.
This plan has not been used
at the college recently and calls
for cooperation from the students .
It is being used to prevent con­
gestion and will be continued
until our new gymnasium is com­
pleted which would provide ade­
quate space.
It is hoped that registration
can be largely completed . dunng
the week of January 21 to 25 be­
fore semester examinations start.
