YEAR PROSPECTS
HELD PROMISING
Walter Malcolm, Student
Body Head, Commends
Greater Oregon Body
Co-operation With Frosh
Planned by Members
of A. S. U, 0. Council
Prospects for the year in almost,
every line of A. S. U. O. activity
are extremely bright in the opinion
of Walter Malcolm, president of the
student body. The best evidence of
this fact,' he believes is the large
freshman class, which is said to
outnumber any previous entering
class by a large margin.
Athletic Prospects Bright
Oregon’s success in attracting so
many new students can be attribut
ed largely to the work of this
year’s Greater Oregon committee,
said Malcolm. Robert McCabe is
general chairman of the committee,
and Hal Lundberg, associate chair
man. The following students are
members of the directorate:
George Meade, Ralph Staley, Carl
Dahl, DeLoris Pearson, Paul Ager,
Charles Jost and Nick Carter.
Athletic prospects, Malcolm feels
are better than they have been for
a great many years. The varsity
line-up is stronger than it has been
for some time past and predictions
of a successful season seem war
ranted in consideration of the ma
terial available. Basketball pros
pects are equally promising and al
together the outlook for the season
is a cheerful and encouraging one
to the administration. The Fresh
man class in particular includes
some good material which needs
only organization to make it a
successful factor in the athletic
field.
Building Program Moving
The building program made pos
sible by the adoption of the five
dollar amendment last year is going
ahead. The bleachers will be com
pletely finished in time for the im
portant games of the season and
will be far enough advanced by
next Saturday to seat the crowd for
the first game. There were hopes
of having a completed basketball
pavilion in time for the basketball
season but this can be made pos
sible only through large additional
expense.
Freshmen to be Added
Co-operation with the freshman
class in every way possible with a
strong organization in view is one
of the first things to be undertaken
by the A. R. U. O. administration,
according to Malcolm. Eerything in
the administration’s power will be
adone to assist, the freshman presi
dent so that his office may be made
a really worth while one.
Another matter that has been
considered by the student council
is the matter of freshman discipline.
In the past this ras not been ac
corded the seriousness it deserves,
in the days of the council, and the
punishment on the library steps has
been more of a farce than actual dis
cipline. In the future, only those
who deserve it will be punished
and it 5s expected that the tendency
to make the procedure a joke will
be diminished.
Work to be Distributed
Fairness in the importance ac
corded any particular line of ac
tivities will be attempted through
out the entire year by the student
council, Malcolm said, giving each
activity the prominence it deserves
and stressing none too much or too
little.
“It is the plan of the administra
tion to distribute student body
work and appointments as widely
as possible and to eliminate as far
as possible any useless activity,
with the purpose in mind that the
activities of the University may
serve as an assistance in the college
course, rather than a detraction
therefrom. ’’
University to Honor

Members of the faculty and the
University will be hosts Thursday
afternoon at a reception and tea

night in the First Methodist church.
