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
ho.nor of..._ Linfield. (It was at
thts moment that the Ivy crawled

Here's what you've been wait­
ing for-the Theatre-Arts club is
ready to go. Their first open
meeting wfil be held this Tues­
day at 12:00 noon in the draw­
ing room. All those of you whu
are interested in the theatrE
and its allied arts are cordially
invited to attend.
A special meeting was held re­
cently in which the constitution
of the new club was ratified.
Honest, the Administration really
has passed it this time.
Officers recently elected are
Coy Pledger, president; Roy
Goodpasture, vice-president· • • Bevins Haley, secretary, and
Barba.ra Beebe, treasurer. The of­
fice of business :manager has
been left vacant for the present. committee to rechristen the in­
stition "Nude Normal" was cre­
ated!)
Following this the performers
wheeled about and marched off
the field with speed unequalled
iin musical circles.
The band was followed by a
top-hatted inovation in bands.
Gaylord Reynolds trailed the en­
semble in a uniform described
only as "Long Johns" "M-1" with
a lantern in his hand. Apparently
he was on the age old, but not
until now, logical, search for the
lost chord.
I myself heard a ~rouvere
member scream, "Mr. Evans
shall hear of this." Recognition
of this sort at a firs{ performance
·is rare.
Greek Dance
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?
School Calendar

Immediate Relief for 400,000
Students Sought by W.S.S.F. Olin Boyd . Hotll,lord-tall,
redhail'ed, studenJ body pres­
ident, class of '68. That's our
prediction. Of course, he's
just two weeks old now and
weighs just 8 lbs~ 11 oz., but
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
rom the million and a half stu­
dents and professors on Ameri­
can campuses. This constitutes
half of the $2,000,000 necessary to
sustain the work of World Stu-
Portland Men Spark
Business Ad Courses
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
Insurance company, and Chester
K. Sterrett, head of the industrial
department of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
Next Wednesday the class will
visit the Montgomery Ward mail
order house. Recently the stu­
dents visited the Van Duyn can­
dy factory, At least two more
field trips are planned th,is
semester .
Mr. Hess has obtained employ­
ment for more than thirty stu­
dents by advertising their needs

eons. dent Relief, international disburs­
ing ij.gency for WSSF funds. If
·these figures are not met, Wor Id

The World Student Service
Fund is not solely a program of
rehabilitation abroad. It provides
a means for American students
to play a role in forming the
world now emerging from war.
It is the American students'
share in assuring that the inter­
national student community will
never again be disrupted. It is
creating a deep, common bond
between the students in wartorn
Europe_ and Asia and the students
of our own country. Peace must
be won, and WSSF asks you to
help in the winning .
Home Economist Visits
Foods. Nutrition Class
Miss Beulah FewlesSI, horne
economist from the Junket brand
foods company, visited the home
economics department last Mon­
day where she lectured the foods
and nutrition class on the im­
portance of milk in the diet and
gave demonstrations using Jun­
ket brand products .

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." ----------------~----~------------------------------------------------ -------~.---~

Honor Students
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.

entered Lewis and Clark as a
freshman.

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

On Compulsory Religion
To the Editor:
With reference to the letter
published last week on compul­
sory courses on religion, was
Anonymous e forced to attend
this college? Surely he read the
catalog which stated clearly the
requirements . Any college has
certain compulsory subjects.
English is a certainty, as is sci­
ence, art and languages in the
completion of requirements for a
degree.
· Aside from this, I believe the
writer has misconstrued the
meaning of "religious freedom",
which is the right to believe and
wMship as one sees fit: A gen­
eral course in history of Chris­
tianity and an objective interpre­
tation of the events certainly
cannot be called an attempt to
indoctrinate students in the b~­
liefs of a certain sect.
Whether we like it or not,
Christianity has been one of the
most important factors in the·
shaping of the history of our civ­
ilization and will go on doing
so.
As one who has no religious
training (through choice) I wel­
come this opportunity to learn
something of Christianity.
Vernort ~· Long
To the Editor:
The recent anonymous letter
on compulsory religious courses
raises an interesting question.
Regardless of the merits of such
instruction, the idea of determin­
ing the curriculum by student
vote is absurd.
While it is true that the school
weakens the argument that the
courses are historical and liter­
ary rather than purely denomin­
ational by their policy of excus­
ing certain religious groups, the
proposal of student control shows
a misunderstanding of what is
really demo<;ratic.
Such a policy of student con­
trol is observed in no school that
we know of, and for fairly obvi­
ous reasons. On similar grounds
the students might vote to delete
any courses not to their taste,
or which they merely found too
difficult.
'Horace Manning
To the Editor:
We have come to a fine state
of affairs, when an individual is
willing to partake of all of the
blessings of religion (which in­
cludes Lewis and Clark college),
and in return is not willing to
take seven hours of that subject.
In order to receive a degree it
is necessary to take the required
number of hours in science, "Eng­
lish, etc. Why not in religion?
I wish to remind the one who
so violently objects to religion, that our forefathers gave of their
, "blood, sweat, and tears" that we
may have freedom OF religion
not freedom FROM religion.
As one who is a !;hristian and
is not ashamed of it, I say, let's
get back to the teaching of the
Holy Bible! We need more of it!

THE GREEK SITUATION
To the Editor:
On W. R.'s query "Do the Greek
letter societies benefit our col­
lege and are they democratic?"
According to Webster's defini­
tion of "democratic", Greek letter
organizations are very democrat­
ic for no pressure is used in elect­
ing officers, nor is anyone bribed.
Aside from the fact that frater­
nities and sororities stand for
good fellowship and close co­
operation, they also promote stu­
dent activities which otherwise
would go undone by large loose­
ly knit organizations.
I certainly hope no student's
heart was broken because he
didnt get a· bid. If so, he had bet­
ter throw in the towel. The really
rough things in life will com­
pletely demoralize him.

LOG POLICY OKAYED
To the Editor:
Due to an open-minded college
betterment policy on the behalf
of the Log staff, student interest
in student body affairs has fin­
ally been aroused.
This is in reference, of course,
to last week's ~editorial page,
dealing with such "hot to handle"
issues as our "required" religion
course and the "gold-plated"
football banquet.
It is easy to print the ideal as­
the real, but it takes downright
moral courage to print a nega­
tive opm10n on our religion
course. The printing of the opin­
ion is in itself a good example of
our democratic principles.
As in the case of the' $500 for
the football banquet, it is im­
portant to us to know just how
the student body fund is being
spent. An issue of this kind should
be aired, so this mistake will not
be repeated in the future.
Let us hope that last week's
editorial page is the beginning of
a vital new link-a medium be­
tween college events and the stu­
dent for a healthy growth of
school betterment by printing the
facts as they are in our i)aily ac­
tivities.
More power to you in )tOUr new
policy. John E. Miller

Ardis Newholm Defends Self ~
Says She Really Admires Men
"A number of Lewis and Clark
men show a lack of initiative in
getting into activities which
would develop their personality,"
Ardis Newholm, sophomore pre­
law major, stated in an inter­
view last week, defending her
statement in the poll that the
men are suffering from Uncle
Samitus.
Ardis, a 5'4" bnunette, who in
this reporter 's opinion should not
suffer . from lack of attention
from the men, went on to say:
"There are other things in col­
lege besides study, · and one
should learn how to get along
with people· and to obtain satis­
faction out of life. By this, I
don't mean being a joiner or a

A waits Rewarq
A reward, though its descrip­
tion has not been named, is in
store for Joseph Reznicsek,
sophomore, who found a wal­
let with enough money to "put
me through two years of col ...
lege." \
The "fat" wallet, containing
$640 cash, was found by Rez­
nicsek at S. W. 5th avenue and
Salmon street at 7:15 a.m. two
weeks ago.
Notified of his loss was
Frank W. Reese, Wabash, Neb.,
who lost his money while en­
route to Long Beach, Calif.
Heese had left a description
and itemized list of the con­
tents of the lost possession
earlier the same day at police ~
headquarters.
ENGAGED COUPLES NOTE
To the editor:
Why should being engaged
create i.mmuni~y in people?
There are several couples on the
campus who do nothing, see
nothing, and act like unadulter­
ated fools. Not only are they
silly, but they are the objects
of many student's jokes. Part of
the enjoyment of college life is
the social contacts and friends
that are made, but if two or more
people are so involved in each
othev that they can neither see
inter~st in activities and stu­
dents, what kind of a college can
we hope to l;le?
Part of the fault with this col­
lege lies in the fact that the stu­
dents are not interested in the
organization of student affairs
and are socially asleep. Why
don't some of these people wake
up and realize that life is leav­
ing them far behind? social butterfly ."
Discussing the college G.I. fur­
ther, she continued, "I admire
the men who defeated the Axis
powers, but I don't think the
world owes them a living. This
free education provided by the
government is a valuable gift
sometimes taken too lightly.
Many of the men: don't attend.
functions that would help them
get better acquainted. Some of
them se,em to be afraid of girls
or just plain bashful.''
Active in spech work and de­
bating, she plans to seek service
with the State Department after
completing her law studies. She
is a member of Sigma Rho and
the college Red Cross chapter.
Frosh Note!
Our lovely campus has an
~ abundance of. big-leafed Il_laples
and as sure as it rains in Port­
land, every one of those big­
leaved maples will be supporting
the body of a freshman-if they
don't pay their class dues! And
if that portion of the freshman
that hasn't paid their dues gets
hanged to a big-leafed maple, the
freshman "Shipwreck-Bali" will
have about as many people there
as the annual dinner given by
the society for the prevention of
derogatory remarks about the
gestapo.
And in conclusion, that old act
of running around on the cam­
pus with the pockets of your
trousers pulled wrong-side out
won't do a darn bit of good.

AI l"haxler House
The front door on Thaxter
house is back to stay. For sev­
eral days the front entrance
of Thaxter Wi!S boarded up
and the only passable portal
was the rear gate.
There were two .differences
of opinion as to why the front
door was nailed up. The
"Moan" hall boys argued ,.good
naturedly that it was to keep
them from tracking , mud on
the hall carpet when they
went . over for their evening

that the wind.ripped the door
from its hinges when it was

to leave after the close of college next June and tra\re~ south­
ward down the west coast of South America, around the cape
' and nort~ward · along the coast through the Panatha Canal and
finally home to Portland.
Ellefson learned navigation in the navy and plans to chart
the entire trip before hand. Deering sailed in the merchant ma­
rine and plans to do most of the sailing while Truax is accom­
panying the other men" for the meditati8n and solitude.

Mr. Ennis, Dean of men, an­
nounced that the new men's dor­
mitory will be ready for occu­
pancy immediately after the
Christmas holidays. By this he
means that some fellows will be
able to move in then. .
The structure will house thirty­
four men and a head resident.
Applications were first taken last
June, but meanwhile some of the
boys have promoted satisfactory
conditions elsewhere . Interested
students may snap up a vacancy
by consulting Mr. Ennis.
The dorm is arranged so that
two men will occupy a room with
double-deck bunks, . a chest of
drawers, and a study desk for
each. There will also be a lounge,
storage room, laundry room, large
washroom, and showers. After
extensive correspondence be­
tween Dean Bnnisbl!rg's Hock
Shop and John L. Lewis, it was
agreed that the boys will be kept
warm by a coal furnace.
The new addition t~ the cam­
pus was erected by the govern­
ment under 'the Veterans Housing
Administration. It will be main­
tained by Lewis and Clark, and
after four years will become per­
manent property , of the school.
.It is requested that all men
who have applied for admission
will consult the bulletin board
outside Mr. Ennis' office and
check the column denoting their
present intentions as to moving
in January. Those who have
made other arrangements may
have their deposits refunded" in
the business office.

Comics Team Action
At Local Fracas
A beeping good time was had
by all (and Gibby too) at the
first pre-conference basketball
game with the Pacific coJiege
last Friday night at Collins View
school. •
The game proved to be an un­
veiling of a team which used
a fast break with the efficiency
of a group of Alcatraz inmates.
Several spectators brought
their own . seats using ample
crates, blocks of wood and each
other to get the load off their
metatarsals and on their postures.
One group of Lewis and
Clark students in the sidelines .
engaged themselves in a session
of handwriting analysis during
the first part af the game. Unable to hold a first quarter
lead, the Lewis and Clark hoop
squad _dropped its first prelimin­
ary game of the season as the
Oregon College of Education
Wolves eked out a 52 to 47 win
Saturday at Monmouth.
Taking an early m~rgin, the
lo.cal quint~t, behind the sharp
shooting of Bni McClusky and
Merritt Kelsay: pulled ahead in
the initial quarter 15 to 10 only
to fall behirld at the end of the
first half.
Fast scoring by the Pioneers in
the final p·eriod closed t~e gap
between the two clubs as the
L & C lads rallied to within three
counts off the 0 C E crew.
Lewis and Clark topped the
Wolves in field goals, but free
throws marked the Pioneer down­
fall, hitting only 7 for 20 while
the Oregon five, chalked 18 ·for
20.
McClusky led the scoring for
the orange and black with 14
points and Hamer totaled 12 for

FACTS
by John Hoefling
Pre-season varsity basketball
games are underway now so here
are some facts about the boys who
are playing. At one forward is
George Lund; a hard-dhving sen­
ior from Grant high school of
Portland, Lund, standing 6'1" and
weighing 178 pounds, was a par­
ticipant in all the major sports
while in high school. He is one of
the leading scorers for the local
squad.
"S d " F I we e orsgren a so plays
forward. He played basketball
and baseball while attending Ben­
son Te<;h of Portlaud. Forsgren
stands 6'1" tall, weighs 175
pounds, and is a freshman.
One ot the centers is Miles
Samuelson, a junior and. basket­
ball letterman at L & C three
years ago. Samuelson makes his
home at Olney, Oregon where he
played basketball.1 He adds height
to the team, standing 6'2'h" and
weighs 205 pounds.
Another center who has seen
little action so far beacuse of
a football ·-injury is "Big Bob"
Pollard. His 6'6" will add more'
much-needed height to the team.
Pollard comes from Springfield
high school and the IJ. of Oregon.
He plays football, basketball
baseball, and participates i~
track.
Speed-boy of the Pioneer quin­
tet is "Breezin' Bill" McClusky
of Franklin high school and Ore­
gon State College. McCluskey, a
senior is another leading scorer
of the team. He is 5'10" tall and
we.ighs 155 pounds. Bill sees his
action at guard.
Everybody, it seemed, was
chewing gum, including the
sc~r .ekeeper, and several lads
perched atop a pile of . chairs
and looking down at the game
with their big bright eyes like
owls from a limb ..
One spectator was heard 'to
state dryly, "That time keeper's
signal sounds like a goose call." Locker Room Dribbling Indicates
Players Eager to Unveill(ew Gym
' The Olympians have been sel­
ected by the student council to
plan and organize half-time enter­
tainment during the basketball
season. Bob Mills and Irv Hefford
were elected to head the enter­
tainment committee for the first
six weeks of basketball competi­
tion, with another group handling
the remainder of the season Another capable guard is Ted
Harding, a junior and transfer
from. the U. of Montana and Mult­
nomah College. Harding is 6' tall
weighs 170 poUJ-ids and played
basketball in his high school days.
Swimmers to Meet
Incidentally, the Lewis and
Clark "Blacks" swamped the
Pacific College "Blues" (sounds
like a 'bruising game) by a score
of 76 to 33. '

Once more, they want to stress resolutions is one of the foremost A plan for raising the student body fee to $15 per sem­
ester and incorporating it with the tuition fee is being pre­
sented to the student body this week.
Ballots, which have been placed in students' mail boxes,
should be returned to the ballot box in the post office by
Tuesday, according to John Elwood, student body judicial
commissioner.
As proposed by the adminis­
tration 1 and student council, the
plan would incorporate the stu­
dent body fee into the regular
tuition charge. If the plan is
adopted, total tuition charges
will be $175; if it is rejected, the
total will be $170. The increased
tuition will include health, li­
brary and gymnasium fees, as
well as this student activities fee.
N Q ,§:lass. A WS, AMS Dues
The $5 increase would provide
working funds for Associated
Women Stydents, Associated Men
Students and each class, elimin­
ating the collection of separate
dues for each of these organiza­
tions. A larger appropriation for
the yearbook would also be pos­
sible which would do away with
individual cost to the purchaser.
According to vice-president Bill
Jackson;· after AWS, AMS, class
dues and Voyageur price is taken
into consideration, · the plan
would only involve about an ad­
ditional dollar from the student's
pocket. This exxtra dollar would
increase allocations for athletics,
publications and intercollegiate
conferences. Woodbridge, Y aunt

Students Urged to Unite lo Stop. Bill·
Which Will Cut State Aid to Veterans
"Opposition to a bill which will suspend state financial aid
to approximately 1400 Oregon state veterans was urged this week
by Edward T. Taggart, chief of the ~ducation division of .the State
Office of Veterans' affairs. .
The bill ((ll. B. 447) has already passed the State House of
Representatives and now awaits the approval of the Senate Military
Affairs committee before going t6 the Senate.
If passed, H. B. 447 will deprive a $35 monthly subsistence
allowance to those students who wish to continue their education
beyond the four years allowed by the GI-bill. Also afected will be
students who have insufficient GI-tlme to complete · their college
education and intend to use state aid. The .first category consists
mostly of pre-medical, pre-dental and pre-law students.
Typical reaction was that voiced by John R. Dunbar, pre­
dental student at Multnomah college, who described the legislation
as an act of politicians "trying to sneak one by". Dunbar, following
Taggart's advice, has visited all colleges in the PorUand area organ­
izing opposition and requests that ·veterans write to Senator Lee
Patterson, State Legislature, Salem, voicing their objections. Red Cross Drive ~
