Program Able to Stand Alone Under Optional Plan “We have long felt that this year was one of the most critical the A.S.U.O. has faced in recent years, but with the promise of a fresh man class outstanding both as to quality and numbers our fears are rapidly disappearing. "The student body has planned a year of exceptional extra-curri cular activities the major portion of which will be football games. From the showing of our under rated team, made up of a handful of veterans and many sophomores made against Gonzaga, I think we can look forward to a repetition of last years success on the grid iron. Concerts are being planned and the band and orchestra are being sponsored as they have been in years past. Program Attractive “The optional fee caught us un awares last spring and after lean ing on compulsory membership so long we had some doubts as to the future. However I feel that the program that has been arranged for fall term is so varied in its appeal that no student can find a logical reason for not becoming a member of the student body. Too often students have been told that all college education doesnt come from books, but there is an educa tional value to be found in the participation in the various activi ties that almost outweigh the dol lars and cents value in entertain ment. “I welcome the freshman class and congratulate the upperclass men on being hosts to such an ex ceptional group. I also urge all the new and old students to buy stu dent body membership cards so that they may take advantage of the opportunities offered by our student organization. JOE RENNER, President, A.S.U.O. —Join the A.S.U.O. Now— | A.S.U.O. Publisher Of Daily Emerald One of the main features of the A.S.U.O. membership offer is found in the Oregon Daily Emerald. This newspaper is issued daily except Sunday and Monday during the college year. It is the official stu dent publication of the University of Oregon. Membership in the Associated Students not only entitles a stu dent to receive the paper, but makes him eligible to participate in publishing the Emerald. Last year more than a hundred j students were included on the staff 1 of the Emerald. These students occupied various of the following positions: editorial board, upper! news staff, day editor, executive reporter, feature writer, reporter, sports writer, copyrfeader, women's page writer, night editors, secre taries, business managers and ad vertising assistants. This year's staff is ‘ headed by Douglas Polivka, editor. Grant: Thuemmel, manager, and Newton Stearns, managing editor. Leader of Membership Drive I 1— - ■ .4— . . ...

The first event in the campaign is the general student assembly this afternoon at 1:30 in Gerlinger hall. Onthank Welcomes Frosh ■> Of 58th Class To Enter U. O. “The University welcomes you. It offers you privileges inaccessi ble to many. Here you have those opportunities for study and intel lectual growth, for mental and spiritual development, which only a university can offer. Naturally you desire deeply to take advan tage of the opportunities and to direct yourself toward becoming the intelligent, well-poised and ca pable person, master of himself in any situation, that you have set as your goal. This program calls naturally for the use of all your own intelligence and judgment and as much of that of others as you can enlist. By that I mean that you will find it advantageous to seek information from authentic sources as a basis for intelligent decisions on the important points which are before you,—on choice of vocation, of major field of study, of activities and interests in stu dent affairs—each of which affects your life and prospects. “All the information you can get will not be too much, so take advantage of the presence of facul ty counsellors, especially of your lower division advisers, of the deans of men and women and oth er members of the personnel staff, and of any other person who can help you base your decisions as to the use of your time and money upon real information and fully considered. “Incidentally, one of the most; valuable experiences of college life j is found in the fine and often in spiring relationship which students have with university teachers, par ticularly those who act as their ad visers. "Yours is the fifty-eighth class that has been welcomed to the University of Oregon. Many of you are sons or daughters of grad nates. The grandparents of more than a few of you wgre Oregon students when the University was young. It was these splendid men and women, and others like them, led by a devoted and inspiring fac ulty, that made the University what it has become. They laid the foundation. It was not money, or family, or home town, or fratern ity, but loyal service and devotion to Old Oregon—a devotion shared by all—that created the famous Oregon spirit. It is not surprising as the University has grown larg er and more complex that students individually do not now see so readily their own vital relationship to this splendid heritage. It has become a bit popular to discard traditions. As times change some traditions do lose their meaning and vitality but unless students hold fast to his fundamental loyal ty and devotion, and desire to share in student life and affairs and to be a part of this vital en terprise, something very real and fine will have been lost. "As freshmen you want to be a member of the Oregon student body, to participate in its affairs, not just because you may perhaps thereby get a bit of glory or pre ferment, but because only in that way can you really share in the elation which comes from victory on the athletic field or from high achievement by Oregon students in any endeavor. Merely to attend classes* and to move among stu dents but not "belong" is a poor substitute for the satisfaction of sharing fully in the life and ac tivities of the Oregon student body.

Encouraged Enrollment Large President Urges All to Take Advantage of Opportunities On behalf of the University I wish to extend to all students, ■ those returning and those entering for the first time, a hearty wel come and the assurance of our sin cere and lasting interest. The Uni versity is a high cooperative enter prise in which students help teach ers and teachers help students to develop individuals into men and women of well-rounded capacity and a keen sense of social respon sibility. The depression has taken its toll of students in the past but the promise of increased enrollment this fall is making us once more look forward constructively. The citizens of the state need to be con vinced that higher education jus tifies itself and is worth all its costs in taxation, and this justifi cation can be manifested only through* the character and attain ments of the students and the kind of citizens they become. We are relying on you to prove to the peo ple of this commonwealth that you are a sound investment. Ally yourself with the A. S. U. O. Go in for those activities which will broaden you socially, enable you to know and cooperate with your fellows better, and develop your special aptitudes.
