AMS Council Sets Swim Lessons
Policy for Fall Now Being Taught
Next term's AMS council, Mark
Hanna, president; Dick Foster,
vice-president; and Jack McKeth­
en, secretary-treasurer, met re­
cently with Mr. William Shearer
and Jon Hosford, this year's pres­
ident, to discuss a fall semester
policy for the organization .
Among the questions under dis­
cussion were those of enlivening
AMS meetings with entertain­
ment and talks by local business
men.
The council expressed the hope
that AMS can help create a closer
unity between all school organi­
zations, urging them to support
each others' functions and lessen­
ing any inter-group dissensions
that have prevalled in the past.
Suggestions were offered limit­
ing the influence of individual
fraternities, sororities, and clubs
by either limiting membership or
creating new organizations to
spread out the functions.
PATRONIZE
OUR
ADVERTISERS Swimming instruction is now
being given by Jack Marston
third and sixth periods at the
college pool. Marston trained at
the east YMCA and in the navy.
Students are learning funda­
mental strokes and are making
rapid progress .
Upon arrangement with Mrs.
Jean Horner, girls may receive
physical education credit. Al­
though no men have entered
the classes they are welcome to
join.
During summer terms Mr. Eld­
on Fix, new director of physical
education, will instruct swim­
ming classes.
Biologists lo Use Pool;
Algae ~o Be Cullivaled
The fountain and small pool
just below the reflection pool has
been designated as the biology
pool and will be used by the biol­
ogy department for algae and
animals.
Mr. Eugene Kozloff has placed
four lily pads in the pool to
beautify it and urges students to
keep it free from waste paper
and especially cigarette butts.
This is very important since some
animals are killed . by nicotine. .-------·---·-·---- ·-----·---··-·· BYRNE GROCERY

Once Our Thoughts Were Different
Memorial Day in Peace
December 15, 1944
He lies in a grave in England and a cross is ovef his head. He
lies in a grave among countless others and over their heads are
countless crosses. Over some is the Star of David. Under the new
ly planted grass which is mud in England he lies and he is my
friend. We knew each other, and in our way, in the ·way of men
who taunt Death togt!ther, we l.oved.
On summer evenings, in the long twilight summer evenings of
England we rode on bicycles along pleasant roadways to the little
church that stood above the village, the little church that had stood
above the village even longer than old Haggerson could remember.
Past the little cemetery with its stones, all age-awry, moss-covered
stones, perhaps recording deaths even before Shakespeare sang his
song to the lark that trills high above these mortal shadows now;
past the earth-stones . older still, of the "little church, to the wooden
fence that keeps at bay the encroaching farms creeping up from
the valley below; to the rickety wooden fence we would walk, and
stand there looking into the west.
We spoke of trifles, briefly:
Evenings were not these evenings in Kentucky or in Oregon.
Churchyards were not this hallowed in Oregon or in Kentucky. In
a few hours that sun will shine on Kentucky anq go on 'till finally
it shines on Oregon.
Isn't it funny, Gunner how far away Kentucky is from Oregon? ' . And how far, far away they both are-
Sure tough you couldn't have received your degree at the uni­
versity before' you had to join up. Well, you can always do that,
Gunner.
Going to marry Marian?
What do you mean, "gentleman's agreement?" What about Jen­
ny in Sioux City?
Yeah, she was a swell girl.
It's funny about Fear, Gunner. Some guys are afraid to fly,
and quit. Some call 'ern cowards-well, paddlefoots might-and
some guys are just as scared and yet keep going out day after day.
Are they afraid to quit? They can't be yellow. They can't be any­
thing but men, seems to me, Gunner.
I'd like to see Kentucky.
Well Oregon's got a home in it for you, too. Of course, our
horses a;en't big name like yours but Omaha trained there in '38.
What kind of rock is that, Gunner? The one with the yellow
veins in it.
I'd like to be a geologist, myself.
I always kind'a envy your knowledge-Remember the trip from
Valley to Stone? The guys sure kept you busy reading signs on
those-rock formations.
Some geologists draw down plenty, of shekel.
You going for oil, too?
Not a helluva lot ,pf home life, is all.
Home is sure where our clothes are, for us, huh, Gunner.
Yeah, we might just as well. -
Funny ·old church probably used to be Catholic-and maybe
Druid way before that-look at those stones!
No, I'm mostly Presbyterian, I guess.
You, too?
Tell you what, Gunner, they scrub tomorrow's miSsiOn, let's
go to church for a change! And we might as well drag the whole
crew.
That cemetery sw;e is old.
Roads like this in Kentucky?
Sure nice to be bicyclin' down hill.
Down the road through Little Staunton where old Haggerson
lives, away from his old little church on the hill, away from the
sacred quiet that all but the 'skylark heed, down to the long fields
and the meadows--you can see the church from this turn-down
to the gate where the M. P. stands, where the M. P. with his
white bands, stands to check you in and out.
In-look out for that damn jeep!
Yeah-! hear 'em. They're preflighting engines already.
We'll have a good one in the morning . W.e haven't been to
Berlin yet!
It's either the first five or the last five, Gunner. You're half
through!
Just stick with your old dad-
On summer evenings, in the long summer evenings of England,
we rode along pleasant roadways to the church above the village, to
the old little church that had stood, longer even than old Haggerson
in Little Staunton could remember, and we talked of trivial things,
briefly, briefly.
Now he lies under new planted grass!
Where the hell's the grass!
There's nothing but sloppy mud!
Mud and mud and crosses!
Look how funny they all are.
Look-you can see for miles down each row and look at all
the rows of 'ern. '
Makes you kind of proud-Like hell it does!
Not if pride is sickness and despair and sorrow!-
1'11 be seeing his folks.
There isn't any easy way. Thank God I won't have to tell them!
If they ask me where he lies I'll say he's in a grave in England
under The Cross­
That's all-
He lies in a grave in England and a cross is -over his head.

eliminated because of low or failing grades," asks the public. Pioneer _Log

"And what business is is it of the public?" counters the
veteran. "College grades were never such an item of interest
to the public in general before, why now?"
The reasons for this quickened interest in veteran's
college grades are varied, but it all boils down to about
three main reasons. One is the unusual opportunity to know
from careful grading and unbiased observation, the attitudes .
and responses of present day youth toward contemporary
government and world relationships, an age group that is

PIONEER POLL
Should Army and Navy Merge?
Campus Vets Voice Opinions
Recent debates on the army and
navy merger have caused many
official headaches and have been
of much concern to service men
and women. The proposed bill,
now before Congt·ess, cells for· a
single department of common de­
fense to replace the present army
and navy department. Asked how
they felt about the proposal, some
veterans at Lewis and Clark gave
the following opinions:
Roger Cawood, staff sergeant,
infantry, three years in the Pa­
cific theater: "I think both
branches of service have prob­
lems distinctly their own and a
single cabinet member couldn't
cope with them."
Duane Schultze, Quartermaster
2/c, navy, three years in both
theaters: "The navy will be weak­
ened under army control, and
sinc.e it has been and always will
be our first line of defense, I'm
ag'ain~t the proposal." John Richards, sergeant, army,
both theaters: "The idea's fine,
and the bill should be passed
soon so that in case of another
war it will be in smooth working
order."
Vern Clark. S 1/c, navy, 26
months in the south Pacific:
From my observation with the
various conditions, I believe that
they should combine. They would
eliminate friction which now oc­
curs between the two branches
of service. Experience shows team
work is "What wins and more ef­
ficiently."
Doris Caims, PhM 1/c, navy,
30 months service: "To my way
of thinking, this merger should
have come about some time ago,·
although I ,realize it would be a
tremendous project. I am defin­
itely in favor of it."
Dwayne Osburn, S/Sgt., army,·
19 month in the Pacific theater:
"I believe that a merger will cut
the efficienc:yoo..pf either branch.
Navy must be navy and army
must be army. They must be-able
to cooperate but still be separate." By Roger Barnhart

This is the atmosphere that will
prevail at our student body pic­
nic, just two weeks off. And the
credit for this onederful idea
goes to those ingeqious student
executive council members.
Around the oaken table sat
the serious, over-burdened coun­
cil, their hornrimmed spectacles
hanging heavy over their knitted
brows. They were focusing their
giant intellect on the problem
there before them-the annual
(beginning this summer) student
body picnic.
Where could we swim? Where
could we lunch in peace, avoid­
ing the Hymenoptera formicidae
(ants), and the Diptera culicidae
(mosquitoes)? How could we a­
void the ever present transpor­
tation J?roblem? O_H WHERE can
we go? The Riveriera?-too far.
Miami Beach? -too expensive .
Roamers Rest? -Heaven forbid!
In a dark and dingy room the
brains of dear old L & C labored
toward a 'conclusion. Days in and
nights out they talked and argued,
existing on nothing but ovaltine
and liver· worst sandwiches. On
the twelfth day when the tension
was getting tenser, little Shep
tore into the room screaming,
"I have it, I have it," "What, a
cold?" "No, we shall have our.
picnic on our campus," he bel­
lowed. And we rejoiced, tearing
out our hair with glee.
The problem was solved. We------------------- ------------------Phil Cohen. corporal, Marines,

"I'd like to do it again." said
Nancy Dewey; former member
of the Women's Army corps who
served 18 months in the South·
west Pacific during the war. "I
have no regret and the whole
thing was a wonderful expen­
ence."
For some women that might
be an unusual statement about
overseas duty, but laughing-eyed, •
vivacious Nancy is hardly what
could be called the home-loving
type. Now a junior at Lewis and
Clark, this Portland girl's service
record would compare favorably
with that of any male veteran·
on the campus. With the first
contingent l>t ·WACs to• go to
Australia, she~ also saw service
in 'Port Moresby tn' New Guinea,
Biak, and Manila. She earned a
Presidential \Unit citation, the
Good Conduct and Philippine
Liberation mf!dals and campaign
ribbons for the American and
Pacific theaters. She was pic-tured in a Saturday Evening Post
article about the "Jungle" Wacs.
As a technician fourth grade,
she served overseas with a cen­
tral mail directory unit as a first
cook. It's surprising enough to
learn she helped to cook for 300
daily, but it's even more sur­
prising that she admits being a
·pretty good butcher on the side.
Nancy described the na,tive "fuzzy
wuzzies" of New· Guinea as
"cute" and the Manila destruction
as "heartbreaking." While in Biak
she experienced her only close
call of the war when the Japs
pulled a surprise raid. She a<1-
mitted having J;leen nervous for
several days following.
Before entering the service,
Nancy attended Oregon State col­
lege for two years. Since return­
ing to college here, she has made
the honor roll and exemplifies
one veteran's attitude toward ed­
ucation. She is majoring in music
and after graduation here will at­
tend San Anselmo seminary in
San· Francisco, . where she will
prepare for work as a ~irector
of music in churches . · could return to our courses in

That'$ Hoi Stuff
"We know our campus is
hot, but let's not bum it up!"
Thus summer school students
are being urged to exercise
special care to prevent fires
on the campus by carefully
disposing of cigarette butts
and by smok_ing in non-infla­
mable places.
A counci'l composed of the
the presidents of all campus
organizations has suggested
that smoking be confined to
paved and graveled areas out­
side buildings and the desig­
nated smoking rooms inside.
The danger of forest or grass
fires is becoming increasingly
great and it is more important
than ever that these regula­
latibns be.· carefully observed,
according to John Elwood,
chairman of the smoking reg.
ulation committee.

Voyageur Dedicated
To Former Editors
The 1946 VOYAGEUR, com­
pleted and issued last month, is
co-dedicated to two former stu­
dents, Carl Hassold and John
Bernau. Editor of the 1941 VOY­
AGEUR, Hassold died from bat­
tle wounds in the Philippines last
year while serving in the army.
Bernau, 1946 editor, was killed
last winter in an automobile ac­
cident while performing his du­
ties as editor of this yearbook.
Copies of the VOYAGEUR have
been mailed to the students who
ordered them and are not attend­
ing summer school, according to
Jon Hostord, editor. Other cop­
ies will be helct a short while for
students whose former ·addresses
a:re unknown.
The significant theme of the
VOYAGEUR's cover is the stu­
dent facing the atomic age, de­
veloped fr~ an idea originated
by Karl Steinart, student.
Hosford extends his apprecia­
tion to all who contributed "to
the publication , especially Lillian
Foleen, original business manager,
who did a great deal of work
prior to her injury in the accident
in which Bernau was killed; Con­
nie B~rkey, business manager;
Mary Ruth Roscoe, assistant busi­
ness manager, and Bill Wilson,
assistant editor.

A Fancy Swimmer
One of the swimmers of note
to be found at the pool ,is Joe
Hoopes, maintenance man, who
swims backwards through the

As a young man, Mr. Hoopes
spent much time swimming 'near
his home at Seaside, where this
underwater swimming developed
unusual endurance . This early
training enabled him later on to
swim 167 feet under water (al:iout
