Land C Joins H. W. Conference/
Plans Tills wilh. C·oasl ·reams
Lewis and Clark hit the spotlight in sports recently when it
was voted into the Northwest conference at a meeting in Walla
Walla, Wash. Since the schedule tor the '46 season was made a
year ago it is impossible for the. Pioneers to compete this fall,
but a series of free lance games has been sched1,1led with various
colleges on the West coast. ·
With the entry of Lewis and Clark the conference totals eight,
including Linfield, College of
Idaho, Whitman, Willamette, Col­
lege of Puget Sound, Pacific uni­
versity and the Univesity of Brit­
ish Columbia.
The opening game for the Or­
ange and Black will be against
Pacific university October 19, in
Portland, according to Coach
"Matty" Mathews. '
The Pioneers will travel to Ar­
cata, Calif., Nov. 11, when they
will play Humboldt State college..
Linfield is booked for Nov. 16 in
Portland.
The Thanksgiving day game
against the College of Idaho will
be played in Portland. Other
games scheduled for this fall will
be with the Eastern College ot'
Education, Southern College of
Education and Oreg~;~n College
of Education.
Coed Gels Top Office
AI Pepco Legion Post
Betty June Gunter, freshman
at Lewis and Clark and one of
the five women veterans on the
campus, has been elected new
commander of the Pepco post No.
104 American Legion for the com­
ing year.
Betty served two years in the
Women's Marine corp as an air­
craft mechanic for the Marine
air corps. Upon discharge she
immediately enrolled at Lewis
and Clark under the G. I. Bill.
She is carrying academic work
this summer but plans to major in
science this fall.
"It was very much of a sur­
prise to me when I was elected
but now that I am I will do all
I can to make my nomination a
success," said Betty.
Of the 94 members in Post 104,
three women hold the top posi­
tions.
Volley Court Sees Loyal
Particippnts Each Noon
Some of the more sports-mip.d- ·
ed students have found an active
way to spend their noons by play­
ing volleyball, even though Jt
does seem more like water polo
at times.
Organizers and daily partici-•'
pants are Stan Wheeler, Freo
Powell, Betty Gunter, .:;;tan Lud­
low, Charles Long, Doug Mc­
Gregor, Bill Fisher, Phil Cohen,
Fred Harris, Chuck Hickerson ,
Bill Rogers and Bob Matthews.
The muscle builders invite all
interested students to pa,rticipate .
Building Limits
Parking Area .
The main parking ~a on the
campus will be be limited to the
two eastern rows only, when con­
struction on the new gymnasium
begins.
The last row will be extended
north as far as possible, nece:t­
sitatlng removal of the cherry
trees in that location. Th mam
entrance to the parking lot will
be used by the construction com­
pany, so that another 'opening
has been made for student drivers
further east. '
Parking space is also available
at the circular drilte beyond the
gazebos. A permanent parking
lot now under discussion will be
·located between the two coll~U
entrances. · Ten Men Sign Up For
Table Tennis Tourney
Pioneer ping pong stars opened
the '46 season in style recently
when 10 paddle pushers signed
for competition.
Table tennis entrants are Rudy
Hansen, Larry Miller, Bill Scales,
Gerald Baker, Harry Tindall, Si
Stanich, John Elwood, Don Pear­
son, John ·Drake and William
Shearer.
Final results of the tournament
will be given in the next edi-
tion.
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.

StrangeFishinPool
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
water on ,his back propelled sole­
ly by a circular wrist movement
called sculling. "Speed in thls
stroke," he explained, ."depends
upon the rapidity of wrist move­
ment."
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
three lengths of the campus pool). Track, Bas~ethall
Coach Arri-ves to

The newest member of the phys­
ical education department is
Coach Eldon Fix who recently
took-l,IP ·his duties as director of
pbysfcid education and coach of
track and basketball. Coach "Mat­
ty" Math,ews will continue to
coach football and baseball.
A gr.aduate of the University
of Oregon with an M. S. degree,
Mr. Fix began his coaching du­
ties · at Springfield high school
where he was head coach from
1937 to 1942. The last tw.o years
there saw his track team unde•
feated. •
Coach Fix served 46 months
in the navy, having entered in
1942. He was appointed chief
specialist in athletics and was
sent to Boston after his training
,in Norfolk, Va. After receiving
his commission, he took up du­
'ties as district athletic officer
of the third naval district in
Brooklyn, N. Y. Later he became
physical training and athletic of­
ficer as well as personnel officer
of the U. S. Naval receiving sta­
tion in New York.
Facilities are .limited for much
athletic activity this summer but
Mr. Fix hopes to have a full pro­
gram this fall. In addition to a
complete athletic set-up for those
of varsity ability, Coach Fix ex­

Alums to Erect
·Fireplace hv Po.oi That prettily-tanned lifeguard
who is spending her second sum­
mer reigning over the L & C
pool has a good reason for that
bronze coat---she wear different
swimming suits on different days
of the week for the purely fem­
inine reason: "If' I wear the same
suit day after day,' it 'will leave
strap marks on my back." The
gal's name is Jean Edmo·nds and
she has just graduated from St.
Helen's Hall high school.
She described her work this
summer as peaceful and unevent­
ful, but last year she had to as­
sist one student from the pool.
She took her senior life saving
course at St. H.elens and the
water safety course from the Red
Cross.

On Breaking Ground Whatlslt?
More ground has been broken at Lewis and Clark this
summer than meets the eye. Finer tools i.han even a silver­
plated shovel have been used to turn the soil. Some ground
broke as easily as garden earth, some required weeks of
preparation . None· was virgin soil. All had been t~lled from
eight to twelve to more years. Some ground was packed
solid with the matted· roots of undesirable gr9<wths. As Ad­
dison described it: "The mind that lies fallow but a single
day sprouts up in follies." . It /)qesn't Reflect!
Some soil had been well cultivated by military service.
An arid crust of disuse or neglect made the breaking hard in
spots; ev.en springs of-enthusiasms had to be piped and re­
directed before firm foundations could be laid for the great
building program ahead. Funds were available, material as­
sembled, blueprints completed, pri\)rities won. Only ground­
breaking remained to be done.
Now, at the end of twelve weeks, ground has been
broken, foundations are laid; some buildings are just started,
others are well on the way to completion. Will this new
learning be as useful as the new Lewis and Clark buildings?
From freshman to senior and> beyond, will the application of
this newly acquired education embody the high ~deals ·of
Lewis and Clark? Will it be a credit to those who broke
the soil? Will the wisdom and understanding gained through
association with professionel ground-breakers be as beacon
lights to guide other "pioneers"?
PIONEER· POLL
· Students Give Curriculum Demands!
Additional Courses Desired at L & C
With the large increase in en­
rollment this fall, many new
courses have been suggested to
meet the demands and needs of
the students. A cross section of
the student bqdy was asked:
"What additional subjects would
best suit your needs at L and C?"
in hopes that they might assist
the administration ·in planning
the new curriculum.
Ric:hford Rumuuen: "We need
a more mature course in business
administration, one which will
show the practical relationships
between the textbook and the
business world."
Leonard F or 1 g r en: '."There
should be a course in radio broad­
casting. I believe ther~ are more
students than myself who would
be interested in that as well as
radio advertising. The field of
radio is unlimited and experienc­
ed people are ~onstantly in de-
mand." · . . , I

made her dtoice of colleges.

is going ot be a "secretary" when
she gets big and is going to learn
how by attending Lewis and
Clark because "they have such a
nice swimming pool." "Too," she
added, "everyone here is so nice,
the flowers are so pretty, and I
can already swim from where the
the water's thin, you know, not
so deep, to where it's really

Joan had a horse of her own
once. Its name was Lucky and •it
died. She has also written letters
to her grandmother on a toy type­
writer and her favorite doll is
named Heide; similar to Joan's
own name of Heidt. T~e days she

Cotnmon C.ri As Summer Session Swelters
To, Cessation:--- "'THE.PIXIE DID IT"
By Bill Wilson
1 In a quaint caravan there's a
lady they call the gypsy. At Lewis
and Clark there's a grandson of
Satan himself, they call the Pixie.
The Pixie, it seems, is a cousin of
Snafu, who is the "Bete Nore" of
all the G. I.'s, and the dehydrated
gestapo who won't even let 'kilroy
stop for a cup of coffee.
We, the loyal members of the
Log staff, went through experi­
ences that would make Milland's
Crickets look like butterflies on a
sunny afternoon, io expose this
gargoyle to public eyes. With the
he1p of Dr. H2S04 Trubey, we
mixed a · magic portion to make
visible this personification of evil
and <leal him ~he "Coup~' de,
Grace.!' One of the na~on's top
secrets, this mixture is composed
of ink from the pens -of the-stu­
dents and hairs frotn the cranium of Richard Risley Morgan (Bless
him, he can't spare them either).
One night during the full of the
moon,· we set out armed to the
teeth with atomizers of the mix­
ture and fortifled with school
spirit (potency 160 proof). .Our 1 efforts were rewarded when we
finally came across the Pixie in
the Registrar's office changing B's
to D's like-mad. As we paused
with uncertainty, who should
spring to the fore but the defend­
er of truth and champion of the
students, Sandy! Our sweetheilrt
of the campus. She grasped the
Pixie in her jaws and prepared to
end his existence, but alas, the
imp knew her "Achilles heel'' and
slyly whispered "Kitty" in her
eaJ:. As she barked in anticipation
the Pixie slipped out · the door
and down the path, with his Dew­
ey-'like laugh echoing in our ears. We rumbled in slow pursuit and
spied him on the, Albany bell
tower silhouetted by the moon­
light. The "Trubey special" was
wearing off and the Pixie disap­
peared before our eyes, making
Elizabethan gestures that are still
in use today.
If your typewirter won't regist­
er anything but Q's and you can't
get anything but wrong answers
in math, blame it on the Pixie.
If any of our beloved faculty give
you this ~·Bogart backtalk," you
may be sure the Pixie is perched
on their shoulders whispering,
"Give it to 'em podner, you're
wearing the bars around here.''
So if the inviting green waters ot
the pool win out over E·nglish,
math, and econ and you can offer
nothing but a big golden halo the
next day, just turn on the inno­
cence and say "The Pixie Did It.''

Kassandra Maxine Peebles Odell, so named by Dr. Saio­
mon, but collegiately called Sandy, has really made progress
in four y"ears at Lewis and Clark. Time was when she tried
overcoming her obstacles; ' now she goes around. them.
Remember the big snow of 1942? Sandy's lefs were short,
her experil!nce with snow, nil. Enthusiastically she attempted
eating her way out of drifts but finally had to clamber up
and· over the mounds snow. In these same early years she
performed for her bones and exhausted herself chasing cats
off the campus.
Now she's amazingly wiser. She no longer brealts trails,
she follows paths; no longer sits up, she sits down and pleads
with her eyes for a hand-out. Cats she ignores.
And has Sandy prestige! How many dogs can bark about
beint a Tri-Sci mascot and having their pictur.e in the an-­
nual? How many cockers have a private rug on which to
sleep through classes? Not every Sandy F.as a Thaxter to
open closed doors and blaze fresh trails, a Peebles' hearth
is always second home, nor an Ormsby, big and little to
welcome her.
And who would dare, after breaking all the rules, to
trot nonchalantly into the place marked President's House
and relax in blissful sleep? O!Uy Sandy, because wherever
she lives, whatever she does, she i8 still President Odell's dog. J

TOURNAMENT FADES
In the first summer edition a
tennis tournament was in full
s~ing, but toward the middle of
the summer and warmer weather,
the racket wielders seemed to
disappear from the local courts.
Of course there were a few faith­
ful stand-bys and C.Qach Eldon
Fix teamed up with various part­
ners in the tennis class t exhibit
the finer points of the game.

tournament is coming along, the

the psychology classes aren't bo­
thered ·by the cheering crowds. • • •
With the ink still wet on the

erans in educati:Ona~ and voca-:

ior · coll~ge and expressed this
view on their attitude: '·'I'm look-· ' ing forward to the t~e wnen the
veteran will no longer consider
. himself a privileg ~d member of
society but will assume the re­
sponsibilities of an ordinary, ev­
ery-day citizen." .
Mr. Ennis, the first instructor
to take up the dut~~s of dean of
men here since 1941, said that he
was greatly concerned with the
problem of having the student
b'ody be~r as much responsibility
as possible in· organizing and dir-
. ecting the affair of the college
pertaining to school activities.
·Like most veterans · with famil­
ies, Dean Ennis has found the
housing j>roblerri in Portland is
no joke and at present is looking
for a suitable home for his wife
and five-year old. sop. 1 At an estimated cost of $150,000,
one ' of the newest, largesi and

Northwest wjll be added to. the
exp'anding Lewis and Clark
building program. The building is
now under construction and ac­
cording to plans will be complet­
ed ~ovember 15.
The main floor will measure 90
by 110 feet, to be partitioned off
,. jnto two separate gyms by an
electrically operated door, making
two sma~ler courts 55' by 90'.
. Roll-away seats will enable the
gym to seat 1300 spectators. When
not in use the seats may· be rolled
back to give more room in the
gym.;. RoilE:d out they will be ·
within four feet of the playing

room on the basement level will
'be used for tumbling -, b6xing,
wrestling and a single wall hanq­
ball court.
. The new gym will be one of the
most systematic · .. gyms in the
No~·thwest. The plan of the physi-
.. cal-~ducation department is to
have the gym laid out so as to
avoid 'bottlenecks' and to aid in
cleanliness.
C·amera Club
' Being Org~nized
A Camera club is being organ­
ized . by students, according to
Glen Whipple, senior, who is or­
ganizing the club. The members
will provide a laboratory for use
in developing prints.
·"The organization of a Camera
club will be of great significance,
not only to the members, but to
the college," according to Whip­
ple. He has requ·ested that all stu­
dents interested in such a club
sign up immediately, as certain
adjustments must be made in the
physics department to provide a
laboratory for the group prior to
the fall term.
Dr. A. A Groening ,who is giv-.
• ing }?.is whole-hearted support to'
the Camei•a Club, feels that if a
sufficient number of students
sign up' for the club they. will
have a fine place to work with a
wealth of resources to take pic-

Experienc ·es.~Pl~ns _ Music Majot Here
' By DouglU McDougal
Frank Kirker, ex-corporal in
the infantry, wno spent six
months as a priSoner of war in
Germany, was surprised to have
been treated so well. Although
there wasn't enough to eat, ac­
cording to Kirker, who is a fr~~h­
man here, and he-"became awtul­
ly sick of carrot soup", he felt
that British and American soldi­
ers were treated better than Rus­
sians and other nationals. At Alt­
engiabow, . Germany, where he
spent most pf his oontinement,
200,000 -Russians had died from
malnutrition. Kirker himself sUf­
fered from pneumonia as a result
of malnutrition and weighed only
96 potinds at the time of his re­
lease.·
Captured at Saarbruckenhelm
in the early part of the German
invasion, he received shrapnel wounds in his face and a broken
ankle when a German counterat-
. t~ck overpowered his unit. Thir­
ty-three in his group, equipped
only with Browning automatic
rifles, were captured by a battal­
ion of Germans with two tanks,
20 mm rocket guns and mac~ine
gun suppor,t. ~ Hl was released shortly before
V -E Day when the Germans fled
and found it impossible to move
hospitalized prisoners who could
not walk. Kirker and others were
left with a skeleton crew of Ger­
mans until liberation . I Besides Germany, Kirker saw
services in England, France _and
Belgium with the 26 "Yankee"
lnfantry division. Previous to en­
tering the service, he was gradu­
ated from Jefferson high school
in Portland . He intends to gradu­
ate from here and will major in
music. When competing in · athletic
contests, teams will report to the
locker room, change from street
clothes, report to the athletic room
where they will change into their
uniforms and go up on the floor
or the playing field. Returning
afte:r the game, the team . will
enter the athletic room, change
their uniforms and check them
into the drying room, take their
showers and change into their
street clothes in the locker room. ' The movement will be similar to
an assembly line, eliminating the
usual con~estion. ~
The women's dressing rooms
and showers to be on ground lev­
el with the main gym, and the
men's dressing rooms to be on
basement level with the stadium
are expected to be completed
October 1.
Forced ventilation will be in­
stalled. in the main gym and
tumbling room. As yet it is unde­
termined what type of ligl)ting
will be used in the building.
Vel Experienced
on Tennis. Court
Aspi~ ing tennis players who
haven't met Ted Preble should
before the summer sports season
ends. Preble will teach tennfs to
anyone who is interested to leam
and is convinced that "no one can
get any enjoyment from the game
if he plays w~thout instruction."
Though Preble does not actual­
ly hold any titles in tennis, he
displays champions~p form on
the court and is an eager advocate
ofthe game. This summer, he en-'
tered the state tournament in
Por,tland, but classroom and game
schedules conflicted and he could
not play the required ~ontecutive
games. However , he plans to try
again ahd will enter the city tour­
nament next Sunday .
A freshman honor student dur­
ing spring term, he has managed
to maintain that status through­
out the summer, despite the fact
that he works evenings and acts
a lifeguard at Oswego lake after­
noons. His father, Edward C.
Preble Sr., l)eld the Pacific coast
high diving championship for
many years and is credited with
. inventing and developing stunt
surf board riding.
During the war, Preble served
in the European theater with the
combat engineers and entered ~al­
lege shortly after his discharge
in December. He plans to· .be a
lawy~r and after graduation here
will continue his studies at the
University of Oregon. Born in
l'oltland anci a graduate of Lin­
coln high school, he lives in town
with his wife and year-old son.
