College Life By Clinton Howard Visions of Youth Recalled * * * Love Gilded College Dreams * * * School Routine Is Puzzle * * * Student Lives in Present * * * Memories of Life Varied * * * Afterwards Is Question * * * Achievement Is College Goal * * * College life! Can voti remember tin days of your callow youth, when tin words called to your memory picture! of midnight spreads, flat crush hat! with college color hat hands, mega phones in college colors, and co-eds at the football games? And pennants— of course, pennants! A sort of glorified ‘'prep” school where you would win glory on the ath letic field, and the Junior Prom figured in large prominence. Do you remember the pictures in the boys’ magazine that you used to sub scribe to, and read, perhaps a little furtively, in your senior year in high school? There was the school hero in the inevitable crush hat with the col lege-color hat band, carried high on the shoulders of un admiring throng ol students. The yell leader or the foot ball captain—great people, far, at that time, from your dreams of possibility —yet always yourself incarnate—in hopes. • • • There was the girl. The belle of her set, the moHt popular girl in the school, offering herself and her love to you, your fond adolescent dreams of love, the lovers’ quarrel, the engagement in your senior year in college1, and that was probably as far as yt.ur dreams went at that time. Strangely enough, the girl of your dreams resembled the much admired belle of your senior year in prep school! But what Is it to you now, all this '‘milling around” at the University of Oregon7 Might o’clocks when it’s cold, when it’s raining, when it’s shining. Nine o’docks all the time. Breakfasts swal lowed whole and the unromantic leap from the quilts to the warmest place in the house to don some clothes! Quizzes when you are scarcely awake, and are shivering, for the frost is on the ground, or the daily drizzle is at it again, and the instructor writes on the board, “Odd numbers take even sheets, and vice versa. Please answer all questions briefly for the instructor docs not grade by the sheet, (live rea sons for all answers; questions missed will be counted zero.” The monotony of itf Yes, but it’s the making of men, for there seems to be much in the way you respond. The student! Sometimes you wonder. There are bitter places in your memory, places that you consciously keep away from in your retrospection, and there are places which bear you their tribute of praise and their meed of heroics, and, well, the average college student lives in the present. That's the human characteristic that makes the world go round. lint it is you! Homecoming balls, Oregon versus (). A. <!. or W. 8. C\, or the University of California, or anyone •■Iso; week-end dates, library dates, shows, rallies, bonfires, parades, exams, lalwrnt ories, registration fees, disap pontments and joys, kaleidoscope. You’re the hero of your own drama, the author, playwright, producer rolled in to one. The heroine is of your choos ing (or the other way round) -the story is what you make it. • • • And afterwards? The eollege student of today has seen the Order of the O parade of the eol lege men of yesterday. He has seen one, two, three, even four Ilomecom ings, though probably he worked so hard on his frosh bonfire that he didn’t see much of the first celebration. Home day when you have a half a day free, ask the old grad about his bonfire. There's a memory for you. College is like a mountain climbed. Distance on both sides softens its out line, but while you are climbing and descending the mountain, the bumps arc aft t.> obscure the view.

MRS. CARR, 57, AMBITIOUS FOR EDUCATION, PLEASED Oldest Student in University Strives for High Grades; Pleased with “Hello” Tradition Age has nothing to do with getting an education if a person has the am bition, is the sentiment of Mrs. Mattie f. Carr, 57, oldest student in the Uni versity. She is taking 16 hours of I work in the department of education. “I like my work here very much and although I’m not an admirer of grades, I am as bad as a youngster; I want good marks.” She does not think working for grades a very high ideal or that a person should be judged by the grades he receives. Mrs. Carr has been teaching since she was 17 years old, and was graduat ed from Kansas Agricultural college, receiving there her bachelor of science degree. She has carried correspond ence work all the time and thinks it a very good thing. “A person who is teaching has to keep up his work and be 'well informed with the age. I go to summer school every other year. I like teaching very much; in fact I be lieve in liking whatever one has to do,” she added. “I think the ‘hello’ tradition is quite wonderful. I like it because it creates such a friendly feeling.” Mrs. Carr is living in Springfield. She gets up at 5:110 every morning and comes to 8 o’clock classes. MARIE SWEARINGEN, 15, YOUNGEST U. OF 0. STUDE Head Start and Hard Work Cause of Speedy Progress; Youngster Is Now Self-supporting ! Marie Garnette Swearingen enjoys the distinction of being the youngest girl student enrolled in the University of Oregon. She is 15 years old and 1 will not have another birthday until I next year, January 27. Marie Got a head start on the rest of us by entering primary school at tho age of five. She finished high school in three and a half yenrs and was valedictorian in her class. Sho is ja graduate of the Alsea high school, and is now majoring in dramatics. Marie also had the advantage of hav i ing a school teacher for a mother. | Mrs. Id. F. Swearingen was formerly | Miss Krminne Louise Bouvier, a gradu ate of the University of California and later a private teacher in elocution. The Urosh Glee which recently took place was directed by Marie Swearin i gen, who was chairman of the com mittee. J Marie has three brothers. One brother is older than she and two are younger. She is entirely self support I ing. “Everybody thinks T have such a funny name,” she laughs. Her laugh is very contagious. “They tell me it 1 is a Southern Pacific name.” Once I you have heard Marie laugh you will know her. “PEONS” PUT ON PIONEER Pedal Extremities of Campus Guardian Encased In Spanish Garb Shades of Don Quixote! That aus tere guardian of the campus, the Pio- j ncer, busted out yesterday morning in “semi Peon pants.” Sometime during the night some whimsical ruffian deco ; rated the pcdul extremities of the hardy guardian with what appeared to bo the bottoms of the nether garment : of a Spanish toreador. The cloth was the good old kind that i they make "Boss of the Koad” and “Can't Bust ’Em” out of. For fringes and frills there was hempen string and as for buttons the sides of the slits were adorned with the brass variety. No doubt some supporter of the sar torial garb of Sunny Castile conceived the idea of feeling out campus senti ment in this manner. If the abbreviat ed “bull-fightin ’ breeches”, remained on the old campus tradition, it was a sign that they might be permitted to adorn the nether limbs of campus mas culinity. But the encasements of the bull-baiting gentry did not remain long on the Pioneer. Some adherent of the good old American trousers rudely yanked them from the form of the guardian and now the concocter of the idea is probably in doubt as to whether lie should wear the real thing or let well enough alone.
