TRAINING FOR LIFE
HELD COLLEGE Hi
Dean Fox Enthusiastic Over
Possibility of Oregon
Young Women
“College girls? 1 guess they are my
line,” said Dean Fox with a quick smile.
“80 much so, in fact, that ever since
my own entrance as a freshman at
Barnard,” and here the Dean tried to
look reminiscent, “in 1904, I have
thought of the year, as beginning with
the fal' opening college, instead of
January 1.
“it sounds so trite to say college
girls are won lcrful and splendid and all
that, but. I do believe that they repre
sent the aristocracy of our young wo
manhood as they come full of ideas and
ideals, to gather their forces together
in order to be better able to assume
their share of the world’s work.
Aristocracy in Fine Sense
“And that, I think, 1h what college is
coining morn and more to mean,” the
Dean went on. “It is not so much
training for a position in life as train
ing for life itself, an equipment for ser
vice to others. It is the aristocracy of
women in the finest sense of the world,
not in the snobbish sense, although we
do find snobbishness here as we do ev
erywhere. There is nothing I have less
patience with,” she declared with em
phasis.
"The young women of this generation
know so little of real work, the work
that their mothers and grandmothers
had to do, that they have a great deal
of leisure which will either be spent
in unpleasant idleness nr will be used
in helping humanity.”
Spare Time Used
That women are using their spare
time is evident, Doan Fox believes, in
the rapidity with which they are forg
ing into new fields, American women
are perhaps leading tho world in the
variety of occupations. Europe also
shows this, tho French women leading
there, the Dean said. Holland also shows
a simibir tendency, too Dean pointed
out, fH’l illustrated this characteristic
by tolling an anecdote of her trip to
Europe, fcdio told of a Dutchman who
came to speak to her after a mooting
to find out how tho Americans subdued
their women who branched out into the
field of athletics and were immodest
enough to enjoy it. Poor Hans had mis
understood the term “student govern
ment” which the speakor used, inter
preting it as government of tho women
students by the men.
Should Browse More
“On the whole," Doan Fox said, “I
believe the women of tho University
of Oregon to bo a group of the finest
young women T have known. There is
perhaps a tendency to spend too much
time in this so-called social life, in
dancing, and yet that is not a serious
criticism because there is not so much
dancing as there appears to be to the
outsider who does not realize that dif
ferent groups entertain at different
times. Hut. more time for browsing
would be so much better, long leisurely
tramps. That is also a difficulty of
tlie girl who earns her way. There n
no time for just quiet and change. Of
course if she cannot come without that,
I say by all means come. Hut it is so
much better to have a bit of leisure
time.”

Lucille Saunders, Prominent Journalist,
and Harold McDonald Announce
Their Engagement
Lucilo F. Saunders, ex-’19, and Har
old McDonald, also a former student
in the University, will be married De
cember 23, according to tentative plans
just announced in New York.
Miss Saunders, who is a member of
the New York staff of the United Press,
was news editor (then known as city
editor) of the Emerald in the spring of
1917. She was a major in the school
of journalism. After leaving college
she worked as reporter on the Marsh
field Times and the Bend Bulletin, go
ing to Salem later as telegraph editor
of the Statesman . After a year of re
porting on the Portland Oregonian she
made a trip of a year and a half to
South America, working for several
months in Buenos Aires for the United
Press. At one time, during the absence
of the manager, Miss Saunders was in
charge of the filing of the United Press
news report for the whole of South
America. On her return from the south
she accepted a position in the New
York office of the U. P. She is a mem
ber of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s hon
orary journalism fraternity.
Mr. McDonald is now a student of
medicine in New York University. He
was formerly connected with the office

a complex, suggests a rail around the
reserve desks on which to rest one foot
while delving into the little windows
trying to find the book that looks like
the one you think your assignment is in.
Another good suggestion was to the
effect that according to the theory of
relativity nothing is where it seems to
be anyway and a double deck system
of coy little desks could be built.
Perhaps the best idea so far is that
all reading of reserve books cease to
be a requirement in courses until the
congestion in the library has been elim
inated and that then we might begin
over with a clean slate.

GIRLS AMASS MONEY
Everyone has the impression that
Theta Sigma l'hi must now be a rich
corporation, judging by the number of
doughnuts sold on the campus yester
day. The journalism women, when in

ingly remarked that they had seld about
a hundred and seventy-five dozen
doughnuts.
CAMPUS WORKER
TELLSJF ALASKA
Party Makes Trip of Over 250
Miles in Small Tractor;
Haul Provisions
By Don Woodward
“Alaska! Do I look like I could lie
well enough to give you a good inter
view on Alaska?”
I assured him laughingly, that I
thought he did.
His blue eyes sparkling good-natur
edly, his broad, brown face creasing
into wrinkles of whole-hearted humor,
C. E. Eldean, campus electrician and
plumber, paused momentarily from his
work on the new journalism “shack,”
and told me to come around at lunch
time.
“I can give you a whole hour then,
and if I run down, I can fill out the
time by quoting ‘The Cremation of Sam
McGee,’ ” he said.
I found him after the noon whistle
shrieked, opening his lunch box, and
carefully spreading the contents on the
work bench.
“Five other fellows and I went north
last spring to work a mine up on Iron
creek. One of them went to the Uni
versiy here about 1911; ’’Spud” Camer
on, we called him.
“From Seattle, we shipped to Skag
way, and then took the railway up to
Carcross. It costs 20 cents a mile to
take that train. At Carcross, we start
ed overland.”
That was a trip!
Eldean and his companions treked
over 250 miles through the snow, in the
wake of a “Baby Caterpillar” tractor
drawing two loaded sleighs. Six hun
dred gallons of gasoline and five tons
of supplies were coaxed over the im
provised trail to camp.
“The ‘cat’ broke through the ice
several times,” narrated the vacation
ist-miner. “I’ll tell you we sure work
ed to get her out before she could freeze
up!”
It took from March 17 to April 25
to cover the distance, according to El
dean. The mine, a placer, was discov
ered in 1916, and appears to be very
rich and large. All the work last sum
mer was done by hand with sluice-boxes,
and although they were only able to
handle two or three yards a day, a very
good return was realized.
Eight caribou, five moose, and one!
grizzly furnished the season’s meat.!
These were shot by Eldean, who said!
he was the hunter for the group. He
added that wild sheep and goats are
numerous, and the country is overrun j
with black bears.
“The grizzly is the fellow you want
to watch!” he declared. “They are
worse than a cat for having nine lives.
An old prospector up there downed one
of the “big boys” weighing about 800
pounds. It had 19 bullet holes in its
carcass! ”
“The men of the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police are the ‘whitest and
squarest’ humans I’ve ever met,” glow
ingly related the electrician. “They
treat a man right. If he’s sick they
help him, if he is in any kind of trou
ble they are always there to help, but
if he commits a crime—he might as well
give himself up. Because if he don’t,
they’ll get him anyway—alive or dead.”
The six members came out of the
“inside country” on a raft, drifting
down the Hoodlink river to the Yukon,
where they took a steamer to the rail
way at White Horse.
“We left supplies and tools in there, j
Among them are three caribou “cach
ed” between a couple of tali pines. They
will be good next summer.”
“You are going back next year!” I
asked.
“I’d sure like to,” he answered wist
fully. “But my wife; she says I ain’t.”
