FROM THE .•• ·SIDELINES
By FORSGREN
True football could be billed as a grueling contest, ,
but the game staged on, the border-line Armistice Day could
be classified "slugfest," as the Humbolt staters dropped the
Pionee.rs from the undefeated ranks last Monday. .
An inJured orange and black eleven will face Linfield
under lights tomorrow night at McMinnville with both teams
going into the game closely matched. The trek to California
proved costly to the Pioneers as several key offensive mn
signed the inJured list.
Collins View gym or "converted cracker box" teems
with activity these days as the future entrants in the North­
west confer ~nce drive, cut, check and follow, trying of­
fensive and defensive power. What kind of squad will L C
have this season? Could be that they're tall, short, fast and
scrappy, but this column .isn't commenting until the first
game.
Hats off to the coaching staff, Olympians and Sigma
Alpha Sigma who finally got the ball rolling on Lewis and
Clark intramural activities. In a football game played Tues·
day, the Oly's and Sl!J's showed Interest by having a large
turnout proving that inh·amural activities can make the
grade if enough students and clubs take interest. .
. Seems as though a future sport nick-name for Lew1s
and Clark has lost appeal amid other college affairs, so L C
remains the "Pioneers." Of course, there are only a few
high schools in -the state with the same sy~bo~, the close~t
being Oregon City. The sports staff is stlll mterested m
your. ideas for a name. If you have one in mind drop it in
the box in room B-31.
See you tomorrow night at McMinnvUle, 8:00 p. m. PIONEER LOG Friday, Noftmber 15, INS • • vs. e
Quintet Forms
As Season Nears
Lewis and Clark's basketball
team is in its third week of prac­
tice now with Coach Eldon Fix
running the squad through more
intensified drills. Shooting bas­
kets is one phase with lay-ins and
pivot push shots getting special
attention.
Defensive positions are also
being worked on in preparation
for the modified zone defense
.which will be used by the L & C
team.
Coach Fix expresses pleasure
with the showing of two speedy
5' 10" guards-Bill McClusky,
former "all-city" from Franklin
and letterman transfer from Ore­
gon State college, and Merritt
Kelsay, freshman from The
Dalles.
Lettermen on the squad are
George Lund and Miles Samuel­
son, Don Pearson, a third letter­
man, is still playing foot ball.
These men will be hard pressed
for their positions by several
freshman and transfer students,
and men who are still playing
football.
The Pioneers first conference Nighl Game al McMinnville
Features Pioneers/ Wildcals
With three winiS, one tie and one defeat, the Orange
and Black from Lewis and Clark will travel to McMinnville,
Saturday, facing the Linfield Wildcats in the Pioneers first
night debut of the season.
Brandishing what used to be a clean slate the local
lads will be looking for revenge
after the 9 to 0 setback suffered
at the hands of Humboldt state,
last week in California.
Boasting one of the strongest
and heaviest squads in years the
Linfield Wildcats hold fourth
place in the Northwest confer­
ence race. Linfield ended tmeir
conference struggle last Saturday,
handing British Columbia its
fifth defeat of the season. Lin­
field has won three and lost
two.
Although boosted from the un­
defeated ranks, Lewis and Clark,
st~iving for recognition against
Northwest competition, will be
attempting to bowl over the Mc­
Minnville gridders in tomorrow
night's game scheduled for 8:00
p.m.

On the recent trip to California,
more than a football game was

Olympians Edge
Sigma Frat 6-0
Passing to victory in the second
half, the Olympians edged out
Sigma Alpha Sigma 6 to 0 in a
bloody battle waged ~sday
noon in the Collinsview bowl be­
fore 10 chilled fans.
On a series of pass plays the
Olympians drove to the Sig's 25
yard line, losing the ball on
downs. During the jfirst half
the ball see~wed back and
forth across the Sigma 40 yard
line.
A fumble on the Sigma 35 was
recovered by the Olympians
and started their goalward drive.
An aerial from Bill McClusky
to George Lund netted the only
score ·of the ball game. M!c­
Clusky's try for point was wide. Predicts Finished Humboldt State Drops L-C
Gym in December From Undefeated Ranks
"The players may have to run
home to shower, but the gym it­
self should be ready for the sec­
ond home basketball . game on
Dec. 20," declared Mr. Dan Moen,
Superintendent of the Don Drake
Construction Company's project
on the campus, when queried re­
cently as to progress on the ath­
letic building.
"We've got the mud whipped
now," he said, surveying the
steadily-rising structure from his
little "command" hut near the
parking lot. The mud, he explain­
ed, 'gave considerable trouble until
the walls were in from tfie ground
to the first floor. Now progress is
steady. 7'he slabs over the shower
rooms were poured Oct. 31, and
the wall started up to the roof
on the next day.
Bad weather was. not the only
delay, he declared, "We can get
most of the materials, but de­
livery is slow." So while the gym­
nasium shO).lld be ready, other
facilities will depend on the ar­
rival of rna terial.
The superintendent was quite
optimistic that the Dec. 20 game
would be played on the new floor,
and to show that he had complete
knowledge of the situation, he
pointed to a Lewis and Clark
basketball schedule tacked up
near his desk, with the L&C-OCE
game underllned ..
The game between Sigma and
Olympians is the start of an
intramural series with two out
of three wins c.onstituting a. vic­

Newman's catch for six points.
Phil Younce placed-kicked the
point after touchdown.
In the third period Lee Todd,
Pioneer quarterback attempted a
run from the five yard line, but
was thrown for a safety.
Lewis & Clark. in the fourth
period came close to scoring
when Todd passed to Hal Ell­
mers for a 32 yard gain. The ball
was on the 20. but Humboldt
held for four downs. In the-later
minutes of the game Jim Sher­
bert passed to Ellmers for a 40
yard gain. This scoring threat
was n].dlified when another pass
was intercepted.
Besides losing their undefeated
status, the Pioneers lost the serv­
ices of Bob Signer, regular half­
back.
The game was characterized by
the California team's rough play­
ing which accounted for over 35
yards in penalties being charged
against them.

Facts
by .John Hoefling
Many years ago in this country
there were . two great track stars.
One was John Shea of. Notre
Dame, and the other Alfred Miles
of the Naval Academy. These two
men were always setting track
records. But it seemed that if
Shea would set a record one day,
Miles would break it the next.
Finally these two great ath­
letes came to meet, not on the
ci11der path, but at a banquet ·
given in their honor. George M.
Cohan, the famous composer, was
the master of ceremonies at. this
gatberin 'g. During the course of
the everung he commented on the
fact that sports records are made
and broken every day. He sug.
gested that the two boys should
, do something that people would
remember them by-like writing
a song for instance.
After the dinner was over, the
three men went to Cohan's hotel
room where they set forth the
ideas for a song. The songs that
,came out of that room will be re­
membered as long as there is
someone to sing or play them.
For, you see, John Shea wrote
the "Notre Dame Victory March,"
the anthem of the Fighting Irish
of South Bend.
A,lfred Miles set down .the im­
mortal strains of -"Anchors
Aweigh," the official song ot the
United States Navy. Thanks to
George Cohan, these two men will
never be forgotten. / I

Apathy or Action?
In a world that is becoming increasing ly aware of the neces­
sity for action, what is to be the role of college students? Is a
world seeking leadership in the preserving of peace to find apathy,
or at best, detached intellectualism?
There may be significance in the recent change of policy of
the Carnegie endowment, which sponsors the college International
Relations clubs. Previously, the endowment encouraged the clubs
to function solely as discussion groups, but the decision has been
made to encourage these clubs to exert influence and take action
on p1·esent international issues.

To the Editor:
We don't know Miss Ardis New­
holm, but we object to her shal­
low little statement made in reply
to last week's poll question as
to what's the matter with men.
Her answer: "The majority of
men are suffering from Uncle
Samitus-no initiative." We'd-like
to ask Miss Newholm if she was a
SPAR, WAVE, Marine or WAC,
or perhaps a cadet nurse? Did
she ever see combat veterans
with everything including initia­
tive blown out of them? Maybe
she'thinks that since all veterabs
are riding on a gravy train with
evetything paid, that they have
no o u t s i d e worries such as
s t r e t c h i n g the allotment for
enough to feed and decently
clothe a family, or perhaps trying
to rebuild a world that for four
years they tried to destroy.
The majority of the veteran&
are doing far better than even
the college professors dared hope
for-ask any one of them.
We suggest that you con­
tinue to flit gaily through life,
and we will do our best to see
that such a thing as a nasty old
war never upsets your plans
again.
-3 ex-G.I.'s names witheld.
To the Editor:-
Your letter published last week
.from the misguided youngster
who complained about mascu­
line chivalry on the campus is
just about typical of some stories
on your feature page-trit e, and
let's hope, not representative of
the college level of intelligence .
You seem to forget that better
than half of the student body )S
made up of an average age group
of 23, and I doubt whether it
improves the outsider's opiqion
of our college when you print
such enlightening bits of campus
scholarship as your poll ques­
tions represent: . "What's wrong
with the men on the campus?"
Come now, girls, you knew the
answer to that one before you
set foot on the campus. Of course,
the follow-up question is sure to
be "What's wrong with the girls
on the campus?" or is the answer
to that one pretty obvious by this
time?
-E. C. P.
Starting next issue, poll ques­
tions will be on ftry mature,
world-shaking ialues.-Ed. Are frats and sororities really
democratic? Do they further the
ideal that all men are created
equ_:;l? Don't they rather divide
the "insiders" from the "out­
siders," with the implication
that the "ins" are better than
the "outs"?
Is Lewis'& Clark in step with
the best American institutions?
Two years ago the women's
council at Leland Stanford out­
lawed sororities there.
We are all supposedly working
for the greatest happiness for the
greatest number of people; but
haven't we all heard about the
heartbreak that again and again
has spoiled college for a man or
woman who was not tapped by
the Greeks?
Won't everybody be happier if
organizations are of two kinds
only: honoraries, or interest
groups like the ski club and
American Veterans' committee?

4505 N. E. TILLAMOOK ST. (Corner 45th & Sandy Blvd.) Pioneers. Boost Grid Ticket Sales
For Last Football Game of '46 Season
Homecoming might as well be tagged on as a slogan for the
last football game of the year as the Lewis and Clark Pioneers
wind up the '46 season against the College of Idaho Friday, Nov­
ember 29. As the curtain rings down on another football year, a
capacity crowd is expected to turn out and support the team.
Since this is the last edition until school resumes after Thanks­
giving, the paper is trying to back the rally committee in boosting
ticket sales for th'e final game of the year. Tickets will go on sale
next week and each student is asked to sell as many as possible
to overflow the grandstand at Jefferson.
Portland papers have been keeping . their eyes on this small
school that started their football team with one coach and thirty­
six grid candidates and climbed to make an impressive record in
their first season of college competition. True, the turnout and
spirit at each game has been fine, but since this is the last game
of the year, let's strive for a 100% turnout.
November 29 game against the College of Idaho .could come
under the heading of a Thanksgiving event, and according to re­
ports from the rally committee, the iast game of the year promises
to be a colorful event.
The guarantee to Idaho and other game expense will run about •
$750.00 of Lewis and Clark student body money-unless the stu­
aents of Lewis and Clark decide to sell a good brand of entertain­
ment to the public at 60c per person, including the tax. The tickets
are printed and if each student will make it his or her individual
project to sell at least three tickets to the game, the public will get
a good brand of entertainment and foot the bill-and Lewis and
Clark student body will have $750.00 to use for other purposes. ·
The ticket sale will be handled by me111bers of the football
team from a booth in the Snack Room.
To avoid trouble and confusion, Coach Mathews suggests that
each student canvas his prospects first-buy the tickets for cash at
the ticket booth and collect on delivery to his customers.
Lets not do it often but do it for sure this time.
Tickets on sale from this time on.
The student body wit be host to the College of Idaho football
squad over the Thanksgiving holiday. The College of Idaho boys
will be away from home on Thanksgiving. They are playing us, in
what for them is a post-season game, by special request, in order
to give us a climax to our season.
~~planations Concerning Pioneer Grid Squad
Offered by Lewis . and Clark Mentor
by R. L. Mathews
In twenty-five years of coach­
ing football in the Pacific North­
west and elsewhere I have never
offered an alibi for a defeated
team that I have coached. How­
ever, this time I want to give a
deserved explanation to the
Lewis and Clark students and
protect from unjust criticism a
fine bunch of Lewis and Clark
men that I wouldn't trade for any
football squad in the Northwest .
I offer to you, the students of
Lewis and Clark, this explana­
tion for the 43-0 defeat of our
football 'team by Linfield col­
lege last Saturday night at Mc­
Minnville. Linfield on Saturday
night had in my judgment one
of the best teams in Linfield his­
tory-so with no intention of
taking any glory from a fine Lin­
field team of swell boys or their
e:lficellent coach, Wayne Harn, I
place the blame of many of the
43 points scored against Lewis
and Clark where they belong
squarely on the shoulders of
myself, Coach R. L. "Matty"
Mathews.
I did two things wrong. First,
in arranging the schedule. The
Northwest Conference football
schedule was arranged when 'll:e
entered the football picture.
Therefore, in order to get a sched­
ule, I unavoidably arranged one
calling for our Lewis and Clark
team to do the superhuman in
successive games four days apart
requiring going to "and coming
from bus trip to Arcata, Cali­
fornia, of 18 hours each· way
with each trip lasting until 2:00
A. M. in order to play Humboldt
and requiring a night game at
McMinnville four days later.
Second mistak,!, I worked the
team too much. In order to re-vamp our team, which was neces­
sary-because of injuries sustain­
ed in the Humboldt game to one
of our starting guards, Harry
Tindall, and our signal calling,
blocking back, Bob Signer, I
persisted in working our team
when they should have been in
bed resting. A dead tired Lewis
and Clark team tried with all
their hearts but heart was
they had. Result, Linfield
Lewis and Clark 0. all
43,
Your team almost did the
superhuman at Arcata, Califor­
nia, ' against Humboldt State­
when 16 Lewis and Clark men,
outweighed 25 pounds per man
-made more first downs and
more yardage than 36 Humboldt
state men.
Against Linfield our team as I
know them simply was not pres-.
ent and could not repeat in 'so
short a time the maximum ef­
fort of the Humboldt game. They
had not recovered from the Hum­
boldt State game and Arcata
trip. Our team is looking for~
ward to meeting Linfield in a
regular Northwest Conference
game next year. Sorry only that
it has to be delayed until then.
'As your, know we are operating
this year in a unique way in our
football start here at Lewis and·
Clark. With a football squad
made up of students unselected , ·
unsol~cited and unsubsidized for
their football activities. These
men have done a swell job .of
representing you, the students of
Lewis and Clark to date. This
is your team-you are supporting
it. I don't believe _you will falter
on this· first bit of rough road.
I know YO\lf team won't. We hope
to be rested for the University
of Portland Junior Varsity game

' Night Game Proves Fatal,
Linfield Bumps L-C 43 lo 0
The Linfield Wildcats behind
the passing of fullback John See­
ly, put on a touchdown show
for the 1500 Linfield homecom­
ing fans who watched the Wild­
cats claw the L· C Pioneers 43
to 0, Saturday night at Mc­
Minnville.
Linfield opened their offensive
attack early in the game after
driving to the Pioneer 10, where
a pass from Seely to halfback
Arn Huntly hit pay dirt; Bill
Currier's try for point was wide.
Pass interceptions by both
squads kept the ball changing
hands· during the final minutes
Seely turned around and took one
intercepted Seely's pass and
Seely turned around and took one
of Ellmer's tosses.
The Wildcats resumed their
scoring spree in the_ second· quar­
ter when Huntly, on a line
plunge, ~arried the ball over from
the L C one-foot line. The Pio­
n·eeers' charging line spoiled Cur­
rier's try for point.
Lewis and Clark-was unable to
slow up the Linfield macl.ine
as the Wildcats came back in
the second quarter with Seely
off-tackle for another score. The
try for poirtt was good. Another

Battle L-C Tomorrow
With vengeance in their eyes, the L C Pioneers, after
suffering two set-backs in a row, return to home ground' to
face the Portland university junior varsity squad tom9rrow
at Jefferson high.
After suffering injuries at the Humboldt game the
Pioneers spent most of their time
on the road last week before
facing the Linfield Wildcats at
McMinnville last Saturday night.
Rolling through a week of
scrimmage and chalk talk, Lewis
and Clark, although not at pre­
season strength, Will be striv­
ing to get back in the win column
after their clean record was mar­
red by Humboldt and Linfield.
Pal Peterson, benched most of
the season because of injuries,
will probably be back in the L
C backfield for tomorrow's game
along with Hal Ellmers, Boyd
Gibson and Lee Todd.
Although registered as a junior
varsity, the Portland U. boys
will enter tomorrow's game with
the weight advantage over the
Pioneers. So far this season the
Portland lads have yet to score
a win, but with a heavy line and
shifty backfield the JV's loom
as s~rong contestants for "Mat-
ty's" crew.
FROM THE ••• Intramural Spofts
Draws Interest
Intramural sports activities
have slacked off during the rainy
season, but as soon as the skys
are clear again, clubs taking pa\-t
in grid competition will resume
their battles in the Collinsview
bowl.
Sigma Alph!J. Sigma and the
Olympians are the only two clubs
that have shown interest to date,
but it is hoped. by the coaching
staff and sports staff that other
frats and clubs at Lewis and
Clark will h~lp get intramural
sports on the upward climb.
If any clubs are interested in
scheduling a game, see Coach Fix
or challenge other school organi•
zations (male, that is).
According to touch-football
rules used by the teams partici­
pating, two victories from three
games constitutes a win.
SIDELINES
By FORSGREN
Ahi, yes!, there's good news today around the Log room,
as this tired L C sports writer shys away from his tradition­
al hunt and peck system and takes a needed rest from the
asylum known as B-31. As you have noticed from the
overflooded sports page we're attempting to crowd tv;o edi­
tions into one.
All students who missed the Linfield game mleaed a
hilarious halftime show staged by the up-and-coming Pioneer
~p-band. Along wlth yell-leader Bill Scales andl hla rally
gals not to forget loyal rooters, the orange and black spark­
ed the none too bright Linfield homecoming. The old two
and a half given to our ~lvals by· the pep band at halftime
left the Linfielders flat on their bleachers.
It seems as though football is about as predictable as'
the Oregon weather. One week Lewis and Clark is on top
of a 51 to 0 score. and three weeks later they'rE;'! at the tail­
end of a 43 to 0 tally. The tables are being turned, though,
throughout the country every weekend, especially . in furni­
ture stores.
By the time this paper rolls off the presses again, foot­
ball will be on the way out and basketball will be j;ust
around the corner. With home games being played so close
·to the campus, L C should have over-flowing crowds at
every game, especially when the new gym is completed . As
yet no comments concerning . this year's quintet from this
sidle of the page.
We're not kidding when we say the sports staff has been
knocking itself out trying to bring readers the up to the
minute reports on Pioneer activities, but if you think this
page can be improved or something else can be added, please
· let us know.
Reports from the front office show that it wouldn't hurt
to make the cash registers ring on ticket sales for the final
game, against College of Idaho, Friday, Nov. 29. If all L C
students can get out and sell this• last game we should be
able to pack in a capacity crowd at Jefferson high.
Hal Ellmers sparking the L C eleven through the season
has been placed on the sidelines for the Portland game. Al­
though few students knew, Has has spent three days In the
hospital due to a broken nose. Hopes for a speedy recovery
are sent out by the entire student body, Hal.

Band Music Adds Sparkle
To Otherwise Boring Game
Virtually unheralded, the great­
est brass band event since Sousa
burst upon McMinnville last
Saturday night. It was the Sigma
Alpha Sigma marching band from
Lewis & Clark College.
Led by vivacious curvaceous
Billie Jackson the multi-uniform­
ed bandsmen trouped onto the
field at half-time. The crowds,
not expecting this momentous af­
fair, sat spellbound. (Four who
were still sitting stiffly four
hours and twelve minutes after
the game were apparently over­
come with joy).
After forming with machine
like precision before the Lin­
field stands they broke into a
stirring rendition of the L & C
fight sohg. (Actually a concert
variation on "Waitln' for the
Train to Come In.") Carried
away by the fight spirit they
indulged in a few joyous mo­
ments of friendly mayhem. Fair
Billie, always smiling, managed
to restore peace after inflicting
a minimum of bruises on the mu­
sicians.
Then it was that the event of
the evening occUrrt!d. After but
twenty-five previous attempts
this talented group succeeded in
forming an Old English "L" in

Kozy That Jz·
by Bevins Haley
The atmosphere was fine, the
floor was smooth, the candle
light mingled with the flames
from the fireplaces. 'Course, the
lights gave a garish glare for a
few minutes, but there's an or­
ganized bulb snatchers' club
around which was well repre­
sented. Most unpopular man
of the evening was Lou Holmes
with his refrain, "Hey, turn on
the light-! can't tell if I'm burn­
ing my hot dog!" After the inner
man was fed, he joined the club.
Main attraction of the dance
floor was the team of Jerry
'dance anything' Baker, and
Toni 'match him any time' Bel­
shee, a joy to watch. However,
there was plenty o'f interest In
the ping-pong games (With only
one ball fireplaces become a men­
ace.) By the way, broom dances
are fine, but just how does one
get back where she was? It's par­
ticularly confusing in the dark.
Mostly boys were out there with
girls, but Dorothy Kirkwood's
partner was an outstanding speci­
men. Six seven, wasn't it?

he looks like his father and
that's something!
A generation of students will
lack adequate education to do
their best in building tornorrw
unless immediate relief is given
them today. 400,000 students in
Europe and Asia must receive
material education this year or
else abandon their education. A
loss so great can only be measur­
ed in terms of its effects on the
world's future. It would mean a
lack of trained doctors, engineers,
scientists, teachers, ciergyrnen
and other professional people
when they are needed to fashion
the Rinews of peace.
To avoid this, World Student
Service Fund is asking $1,000,000

dents and professors on Ameri­
can campuses. This constitutes
half of the $2,000,000 necessary to

When asked t? explain why
his department attracted the sec­
and largest s,tudent enrollment
this term, Frederick Hess, head of
the department of business admin­
istration explained that much
credit is due to the cooperation
of Portland business and indus­
trial leaders who are helping
the college to introduce students
to the business world. "Business­
men can give help not to be
found in textbooks," said Mr.
Hess.
Their cooperation consists of
three phases: visiting the college
as guest speakers, allowing
classes to inspect business units,
and providing experience and
subsistence through part-time
employernent.
Last week the speaker was
Robert Williams, personnel man­
ager of the Bingham Pump com­
pany. Other speakers this sem­
ester have beeon Eric Van, a
partner of the Peat, Marwick
and Mitchell accounting firm; F.
E. Ward, office manager of the
J. K. Gill company; Lynn Sabin,
home office manager of Standard

department of the Portland

dents visited the Van Duyn can­

VETERAN OF BROADWAY MUSICAL
PLANS ON BALLET FOR CAREER
Ever thumb through a magazine and run across your pic­
ture? Vala did, but then Vala's been around!
Valentina Ournansky's picture in October's Redbook magazine
as one. of the Can-C~n dancers in "Oklahoma!" brought back
me~on~s of last. year m New York where she attended Columbia
umversity, studied modern dance from Martha Graham d
ballet and danced in the musical play. She was previodsi;n a
member of Ballet International, a troupe that ran a season in
New Yor~ .and then disbanded because of travel conditions. She
then .. auditioned before Agnes de Mille for a part in "Okla­
homa and won over 100 other girls.
She's off "less points" now while attending Lewis and Clark
although she performs occasionally and is in charge of the
choreography for the Civic theater plays which so far include
"Twelfth Night" and "Taming of the Shrew."
Vala's second love is art which shows itself in her collection
o~ drawings, paintings and sketches, including those little Pro­
ftles she does for each. LOG. The new "Society" cut design shows her preference for modern art. ,
Like everyone else, she wants to travel preferably to the
Easter Islands and Fr~ce . (She could have been born in Germany
but her parents burned home so she'd be an American citizen.)
. Vala is set on ballet for a career, following the family tradi­
tom. Says Vala with a t~inkle in her black eyes, "I doubt very
much whether anyone will stand in the way of my career." ----------------~----~------------------------------------------------ -------~.---~

Grade Faculty
Log Poll Reveals Nine Profs Make 'A'. A~erage
When Graded on Five Poinls; Evans Rated Tops
A dream came true for thirty-eight honor students last
week when the Pioneer Log gave them that long-awaited
opportunity to grade their professors in a poll designed
to select those worthy of mention on a faculty honor roll.
The LOG also hoped to discover the one professor who
q1ost closely personified the ideal college teacher.
The poll was restricted to those
who were listed on the student
honor roll last spring. It was felt
that only they could be consider­
ed adequate judges of their in­
structors.

"Just because a man· is born in
bed doesn't make him a bed
bug, and because I was born in
China doesn't make me a china­
man," philosophied Carlton W.
Trl:tBX when he was queried in
connection with the publication
of a poem that he composed.
Carl was born .and raised in
the small village of, Tungjen,
Sietzwan, China, near the Tibet­
an border, where 'his parents liv­
ed as Protestant missionaries.
Truax, who is single, twenty­
two years old and a resident stu­
dent of Moen hall, was promptly
dubbed "Sing-A-Poor" when· he
entered Lewis and Clark as a
freshman.
In his spare time he fills the
dorm with pencil drawings, many
of which are his idea of the other
residents .
Truax also seems to have an un­
limited supply. of favorite quota­
tions that he freely scrawls on all· available blackboards, according
to members of his Journalism
class. The class, it seems, is a two
hour course, and he changes scen­
ery at the half-time .'
He is a cparter member of the
Lewis and_ Clark chapter of the
American V~teran's Committee .
He served as a PFC in the Army
Signal Corps and served 29
months in Burma. "When I found
out that I was to be sent over­
seas, I volunteered for duty in
Europe."
"No!" the man said, "We could
not do that, you are a valuable
man, with your knowledge of
Chinese we'll send you to China."
"So," Truax continued, "I go to
Burma and speak Chinese a
grand toW of three times!"
"Sing-A.-Poor" recently had a
poem published by the National
Poetry association i.n the Annual
Anthology of college verse.
"I liked it least of all the selec­
tions that I submitted, but there
is no judging taste," he said. , Through the Day

the students desired further op­

teachers assigned too little or too

Dr. L. 0. McAfee, registrar, re­

necessary in order that their re­
quirements check lists be amend­
ed for use when the student reg­
isters for the second semester.
Students who had not yet chos­
en a major when they registered
in the fall but. have now done so
should also report this major to
the office. Those who failed to
return their requirements check

istration cards to the checkers'

sible. .. · .-...:
